ރBackground Information
History: This is the story of two brothers, Mathias and Hazama. Their parents are from two prominent families; Their father, Elias from the notorious Uchiha Clan of Konohagakure while their mother, Aseama was from the royal Luciano family in Iwagakure.
Aseama wasn't at all what her family name portrayed her to be. Mothering in nature, Aseama was hardly ever seen to be angry. She was a good nature'd woman who tended to her family. Nothing else mattered; especially not wealth. And she knew that while living within the Luciano Manor that she was not like the rest of her family. It was the reason that she left and sought out a better, more simple life for herself. It was then that she met Elias and they settled down together in Konohagakure.
Elias was an accomplished Sharingan user. He was able to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan during the third Great Shinobi War, and killed many people with it before death. His technique, however, was one that killed many others, as well as himself. No one from his squad survived that fight, however it was discovered through a member of the Yamanaka Clan that Elias' ability was quite devastating, and was hushed up by the Third Hokage and forbidden to be talked about similar to the Kyubi incident. Their father however was written in the history books as a hero. Somewhere in the Forbidden Archives of Konohagakure, were details of Elias' Mangekyō Sharingan abilities as well as the look of the eye itself. Hazama was four and Mathias just a baby when their father passed.
Years later, the first act of the Uchiha rebellion was to steal the Archive for their records. The Uchiha also decided that it was in Hazama's as well as Mathias' best interest if they knew and understood the abilities that they may one day possess. This would lead to controlling their ability so that they did not die as their father did. They made two copies and gave it to Aseama the week before the Great Uchiha Massacre. At that time, Hazama was thirteen, and Mathias nine. The Uchiha figured that they needed to start secretly sending Uchiha's out of Konohagakure as quickly and quietly as possible. Aseama, Hazama and Mathias were the first, but certainly not the last family to be taken out of the village. With Shishui believed to be dead, and Itachi looking more and more like a traitor every day, the Uchiha deemed their bloodline to be the most prominent. However they could not simply just let them be unaccounted for. The Uchiha had been secretly using Shisui to control multiple people, forcing them to assume the shape and chakra of the families that they were sneaking out. They also went so far as to have the individuals use the
Shadow Mirror Body Change Method to permanently assume shape of the individuals, so that even upon death their escape would not go unnoticed. It is unknown how many Uchiha were able to escape the village. As they got older however, Hazama and Mathias came to understand that there were many in different villages.
Time Skip...
As he parted ways with his brother in order achieve greatness, Mathias finally reached Amgegakure. The rain automatically caught his attention as he decided to stay a few months. During that time, Mathias passed a very prestigious battle where he show cased complete mastery over the wind and water element. He was granted the right to learn the arts of rain release. Mathias didn't stay there very long, just long enough to learn the basics of rain. Mathias then set up once again as he traveled across the ninja world in search of enlightenment.
After a few weeks of travel, Mathias finally returned to Iwagakure. He went straight to Toku the current Tsuchikage of the village and asked him to officially join the village as a full-fledged shinobi. After some background checking with the his Iwagakure half, the Luciano Family, Toku decided is was okay for Mathias to join the village Officially.
Toku then came to find out about the test Mathias had passed in Amegakure to learn the art of rain. Toku took it upon himself to teach Mathias how to utilize that hidden potential he had in rain release. In four months time, Mathias had complete mastery over the rain element.
To be continued...
Sniper Arts - Aside from swordplay, Mathias specializes in using a bow to fight with. He has excellent field of vision and can shoot arrows with pinpoint accuracy, even at night. Essential for a hunter, he moves around silently and tracks the enemy based on slight movement and sounds, getting an estimation of where he is. Being a master sniper has given Mathias increased tracking speeds to help him keep up with faster targets.(In approved CFS template)
Earth Affinity - Being the new Tscuhikage of Iwagakure and the village's main element, Mathias has adapted so well tot his element that he is able to utilize it to its fullest potential with the usage of only a single hand seal.
Fire Affinity - Being the Uchiha's notorious element and having trained in it for years, Mathias has developed the ability to perform fire techniques much faster than other shinobi.
Heat - Due to his usage of Temperature, Volcanic Water, and Blazing Earth release, Mathias has grown a resistance to such extreme heats so that he can use his elements with ease and no harm.(Stated in Blazing Earth's template)
Bow & Arrows - A double bladed bow called the God of Wind n' Earth is on Mathias back, held diagonally, having the edge pointing out of the back of his right shoulder. In cannon fights he has a regular bow with the same design. He carries a very light weight golden rectangular case filled with non magnetic metal arrows that have various gimmicks including arrows that follow a curved path instead of straight, some that explode, and others that split apart into a net. Every arrow that Mathias shoots contains one explosive tag tucked inside. The arrow case is being held slightly behind Mathias' right waist area, having easy access to his arrows.
Ninja Pouches - Inside of his ninja pouches Mathias keeps pre-drawn scrolls to perform "Ho/Mizu/Kaze/Tsuchi/Rai Houin". He also has many small pre-drawn seals stored within his ninja pouches. Mathias has affixed a seal to each of his wrists which allows him to summon his extra Bow, bandages, Katana, shuriken of different sizes, including normal shuriken, giant size Fuuma shuriken, kunais, and even his arrows. Or combinations of kunais/arrows with flash grenades, and smoke grenades. He even has stored clothing and outfits to change whenever he pleases by simply summoning them to the field.
Seals - Mathias has a seal located in the top part of his back along with another one on the lower part of his back which he himself created. Upon finishing his Fūinjutsu training, Mathias was allowed the privilege of possessing the Reverse Four Symbols Seal.
Swords & Daggers - Mathias carries a single golden Katana at all times, located on his left waist, being held by a purple strap which warps around his waist. Mathias carries three daggers with him at all times. One is placed on his right leg, the other one on his left. The last one is placed on his lower back, which cannot be seen easily. To accompany his sword play, Mathias also wields a double edged long sword, diagonally across his back, creating an "X" with his bow. Both are placed in a such a way that they wouldn't hinder each other when being drawn.

So, I ordered these pants two times and they never came and revolve never even sent me an email telling me they weren't coming. Finally found them on the site for the third time in a 24 camel colour and I get them today and they send me a 27. I don't plan on ever ordering off this site again because they lack good customer service and clearly don't know how to label their products with the correct size. WIsh I had a good experience with revolve because they have a lot of great products. Maybe my view will chance if the special order goes through lol. However, I definitely recommend the jean to people because I think they are gorgeous!
I bought these in Grey Leopard. These are the weirdest pair of jeans I have ever bought. I am normally a 24/25 and since CE normally runs large I bought the 24. They are HUGE around the waist and top of the hips but the calves are so tight they feel like they are cutting of my circulation, seriously!! There is no stretch in the calves even after wearing them for hours, although the bum stretched out too much. I have no idea what I am going to do with them, cut them off into shorts probably :(

Who's rumored to be going to the Eagles? This guy! / H. Darr Beiser, USAT
It's been a rough season to be an Eagles fan. Yet, if you're a Philadelphia sports radio personality, it's been quite a bountiful fall harvest. Thursday afternoon Philly radio host Howard Eskin tweeted a hypothesis about Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden being a possible replacement for head coach Andy Reid.
"Could Jon Gruden be the next Eagles head coach. Sources tell me he wants to coach again. IF the Eagles change the NFL assistants r weak,sooo," he said.
It seems like Eskin might just be throwing mud (or something else) at the wall, especially since he's the same guy who said less than two weeks ago that Reid was planning to bench Michael Vick for rookie Nick Foles.
Another source is claiming that Gruden has reportedly been reaching out to potential assistant coaches in case he plans to return to the sidelines in 2013. It didn't help that a wide-eyed Gruden (knowing him he had likely been up since 3 AM), was surrounded by Eagles fans on a flight out of New Orleans Tuesday morning following that previous night's Eagles-Saints game.
Let's take a step back here people. Yes, it's possible that Jon Gruden wants to get back into coaching again. And it's certainly possible that Andy Reid will be gone in Philadelphia at the end of the season if not sooner. But if Gruden is going to return to Philadelphia, where he served as offensive coordinator under Ray Rhodes in the mid-90s, it's not going to happen anytime before January.
As Gruden himself might put it, "THIS GUY is going to be in the booth raving over THIS GUY and THIS GUY and THIS GUY until the season is over."

Midtown East is where many New Yorkers come to work. Iconic skyscrapers -- the Chrysler Building and the Seagram Building -- dominate the skyline. On the ground, plenty of delis and Starbucks cafes feed the cubicle occupants. Nightlife is scarce, but excellent, typically pricey, cuisine is always within walking distance. On its western border, 5th Avenue is home to shopping icons like Saks Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co., along with high-end flagships like Gucci and Versace. Madison Avenue, one block east, is also dotted with designer boutiques.
The area lacks the residential quaintness of the Upper West Side, and most insider haunts are found farther downtown. But subway access is ample, making it easy to venture anywhere in the city. Plus, the 24-hour, tourist-focused chaos of Times Square and the Theater District is just a long walk, short taxi, or brief subway ride away.
There's no shortage of hotels here. The city's "grand hotels" -- such as the Waldorf-Astoria on Park Avenue -- are landmarks unto themselves. Upscale chain hotels like the family-friendly Marriott New York East Side, the hipper W New York, the strictly business Intercontinental, and the Hyatt cluster around Grand Central Station, one of New York's most historic transportation hubs. Charming boutique hotels, like the Hotel Elysee or the Alex hotel, are still to be found between the corporate towers. Also, since many hotels in Midtown East target weekday business travelers, there can be great deals to be found on the weekends.
New York may be the setting for about a thousand romantic movies, but the truth is it's hard for romance to blossom amid blaring taxis and jostling crowds. These hotels are quiet, relaxing, and filled with old New York charm.
Some of the city's most iconic luxury hotels can be found in Midtown East, where guests are sure to encounter old-world opulence and historic charm.
Midtown East may be home to the city's most famous toy store, FAO Schwarz, but rooms are often tiny and finding a great hotel for the family can be tricky. That's why we compiled a list of the best hotels for families in the area.
For spa lovers, a vacation just isn't a vacation without some regimented relaxation, especially in New York, where the grit and grime can really get under your skin -- both literally and figuratively. These Midtown East hotels have some of the best spas in the city.
While many New York hotels allow pets, some hotels really go out of their way -- offering everything from gourmet food to pedicures. But animal lovers take note -- not all pets are created equal. Most hotels allow only small dogs and gear their amenities specifically toward them. If you're staying in Midtown East and your best friend is a cat, an iguana, or a 110-pound Great Dane, the Affinia Fifty will be the most accommodating. When booking at any hotel, be sure to let them know you're bringing a pet, and confirm their policies haven't changed. You'll want to be wary of steep fees, weight limits, and off-limits areas.

interesting choice.
If Marvel can do what they did with Chris Evans for Captain America, they can certainly do the same thing with him, he can probably act in a serious way I'm sure.
Deadline.com is reporting that Chris Pratt (Zero Dark Thirty, Moneyball) has been cast has Star-Lord (aka Peter Quill) in the Guardians of the Galaxy film. MArvel has several other test screenings in mind but no one else has been cast int he James Gunn Sci-Fi picture.
Who is Star-Lord?
Marvel.com states: "Wrongly branded a traitor by his father Eson, Prince Jason of Spartoi fled the Empire, exploring deep space for many years. When war broke out between the Spartoi Empire and the Ariguan Confederacy, Eson summoned his wayward son home, but en route his ship's converter blew. To avoid a complete meltdown, and with his ship apparently slipping backwards through time, Jason crash landed in Earth's Colorado Mountains, his arrival witnessed by Meredith Quill, who dragged him from the burning vessel. As she nursed him back to health and helped him rebuild his ship, the pair fell in love. After a year, Jason was ready to depart; informed by his bio-comps that Meredith had just conceived their child and unwilling to endanger her, Jason reluctantly left Meredith behind, promising to return for her once the war ended, but mindlocking her memories, sparing her the heartbreak he felt. Less than a month later, Meredith married her childhood sweetheart, Jake". Read his full Bio here.
Guardians of the Galaxy arrives August 1, 2014
interesting choice.
If Marvel can do what they did with Chris Evans for Captain America, they can certainly do the same thing with him, he can probably act in a serious way I'm sure.
Marvel will make him a star like they did with Hemsworth who is now one of the more in demand actors out there.
I for one am glad they went with a relative unknown
Awesome. This movie is going to be the biggest sleeper hit of the year. I am calling right now. It is like Marvel Star Wars. How can that lose? I say it cannot.
Agree Wise. Sometimes casting a big name can go to their heads.
I heard they had offered the part to Joseph Gordon Levitt (no audition, straight up offer) and he declined due to prior comittment. I like JGL but I think his star has risen and it might be difficult to secure an actor like this long term. Look what happened casting a big name in role in the past. Ben Affleck, Ed Norton and Nic Cage.
This is exactly what they did with Hemsworth. Marvel Studios (or Ken Branagh?) saw potential in him. He was in 4 movies last year and many more on the horizon. You could almost say the same for Hugh Jackman and the X-men movies.
I don't know if I'm in the minority but I really can't wait for this movie. It's funny how I read a lot of negative comments about the GotG movie here and some other boards and people wanting more Black Panther or Daredevil instead. I guess it's because these guys are less popular. I think just adapting another Marvel character gerts repetitive (the street scenes, NY city, a rich guy with gadgets, etc...) I just love the concept of GotG because it's different. Superheroes in space. How often do we see that?
I like this guy, I love Parks & Rec so he's not really "unkown" to me or the people who watch but it's pretty cool to see him moving up in the world and getting into movies. His tiny role in Zero Dark compared to the extensive physical work he did for the part are clear indicators that he's dedicated to his craft and he seems to have the right personality to be in an ensemble cast.
Good director, good first casting choice.......this film will likely kick all kinds of ass......
This casting seems fine by me. I've never seen Parks & Rec and only really remember him from Wanted as the best friend. And since I'm not familiar with any of this version of the GotG whatever Marvel does for casting will be fine by me.
The GotG to me were less superheroes than more of The A-Team in space. With Star-Lord as a mash up of Hannibal and Faceman, Drax as BA Baracus, and Rocket Raccoon as Murdock.
It will be interesting to see how much of Peter Quill's bio that they use since it's pretty complicated they'd have to pair it down to make it work.
I just want Gamora on the big screen. Badass scantily clad green chick.

The most contentious cases for voter ID laws were overturned in several states, yet advocates assert that in three battleground states including Nevada, Florida and Pennsylvania other voter suppression efforts are still underway.
AFL-CIO executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker told reporters during a conference call that there are examples of intimidation surfacing including billboard advertisements on voter fraud. The billboards have already appeared in Florida and Ohio. Union lawyers claim these ads are propagandizing the message that those who commit voter fraud will be incarcerated for two to three years.
"People absolutely know that, but when you start to have that kind of intimidation it could be pretty threatening to you," said Baker.
Both sides will be on full watch November 6. True the Vote, a Houston based organization that is affiliated with the Tea Party, call their poll watching activities "election integrity." Civil rights organizations such as AFL-CIO see it a different way and consider the more right wing organization's monitoring as a scare tactic. Yet, organizers from True the Vote state they want the election process to be fair and lawful.
Pennsylvania is one case in point.
Earlier this month, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson halted a photo ID law that would obligate voters to show identification on Election Day. Election officials can still ask for photo identification, but they won't be able to prevent people from voting if they don't have the photo ID.
Irwin Aronson, voter protection lawyer in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is a long time union laborer. Aronson claimed several public utilities in the state have been sending out newsletters to their customers that were printed prior to the law being enjoined telling customers that they must have a valid photo ID in order to be permitted to vote. One of those cases was the utility company PECO that admitted on Oct 17 of sending faulty Voter ID information to 1.3 million customers in seven Pennsylvania counties.
"The reality is that Pennsylvania has just a hair under 10,000 precincts staffed by volunteers, which may or may not choose to participate in the training that's available to them and as a result we might see confusion on the part of poll workers," Aronson said.
Matt Gauger, a labor lawyer in Nevada, says there is a different problem in that state. He doesn't fault Nevada's election system. The issue is on the ground. Gauger explained that they're focusing on areas where there have been problems in the past, which tend to be working class areas.
"There's a particular threat in Las Vegas about Latino voter suppression and we are focusing on the voting locations where a larger percentage of Latinos reside," said Gauger.
"That's where the issues were in 2008—where people tried to interfere with voting," he said.
Voter suppression at the polls
Such cases are not uncommon, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. In 2011, challenges were filed from Tea Party groups serving as poll monitors against Latino voters in Southbridge, Massachusetts. In the 2012 Wisconsin recall election, True the Vote poll watchers challenged college students using inaccurate voter lists resulting in a number of students opting not to vote because of the long lines.
The union lawyers argued that because of the confusion, they believe poll workers will start asking people for an ID and might be misinformed. Sometimes it can be as cumbersome as running out of forms or that there are not enough poll workers. The union lawyers are particularly worried about concerns arising early in the day and late in the afternoon because of rush hour.
"Of course someone who is standing in line and is number 86 in line and doesn't have her driver's license with her—this isn't like going to the deli counter at the local grocery store where they give you a number and say come on back," said Irwin.
AFL-CIO is also hearing cases of employers pressuring workers to support specific candidates.
In reference to the Voter ID laws, the Brennan Justice Center signaled that although "it is too early to quantify how the changes will impact voter turnout, they will be a hindrance to many voters." In general, the Brennan Center cites that the United States continues to turn out less than two thirds of its eligible citizens in presidential elections and less than half in midterm elections.
Still, as of this month, 11 courts have blocked or blunted voting restriction laws. In Florida and Ohio, early voting and voter registration drives have been restored.
At the same, civil rights organizations are indicating that they have a positive outlook with turnout and are undertaking measures to protect the right to vote by being vigilantes on Election Day.
Next week, the AFL-CIO will be targeting mailing and phone calls to 100,000 union households in Pennsylvania to explain that they do not need Voter ID. The organization will have close to 2,000 poll monitors on Election Day and has recruited 300 union lawyers. Organizers will be on call to hear issues on voter rights for a rapid response.
The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials projected that 12.2 million Latinos will turn out in November and they're standing by that estimate despite cases of voter suppression.
Arturo Vargas, executive director of NALEO, told reporters during a conference call Thursday that in 2008 9.2 million Latinos would vote and the actual number was 9.7. In 2010, they projected that 6.5 million Latinos would turn out and the actual figure was 6.7 million.
"Our projection of 12.2 voters in November 2012 is actually very conservative and we feel very confident that we will meet and hopefully surpass that number," Vargas said.

Born to a pagan family, but was baptized at age 10 with his father. King of the Magyars in Hungary. Married to Blessed Gisella of Ungarn, sister of emperor Saint Henry II. Evangelized both their peoples. Saint Astricus served as his advisor. Stephen united the Magyars into a single nation, suppressing revolts led by pagan nobles. Crowned king on Christmas Day 1001 by Emperor Otto III by authority of Pope Sylvester II. Organized dioceses, and founded monasteries. Father of Saint Emeric; brought Saint Gerard Sagredo to tutor his son.

- king offering his crown to the Blessed Virgin Mary
- king on horseback with banner of the cross
- king holding a church in his hands
- king holding a standard or banner with the Blessed Virgin Mary
My beloved son, delight of my heart, hope of your posterity, I pray, I command, that at every time and in everything, strengthened by your devotion to me, you may show favor not only to relations and kin, or to the most eminent, be they leaders or rich men or neighbors or fellow-countrymen, but also to foreigners and to all who come to you. By fulfilling your duty in this way you will reach the highest state of happiness. Be merciful to all who are suffering violence, keeping always in your heart the example of the Lord who said, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." Be patient with everyone, not only with the powerful, but also with the weak. Finally be strong lest prosperity lift you up to much or adversity cast you down. Be humble in this life, that God may raise you up in the next. Be truly moderate and do not punish or condemn anyone immoderately. Be gentle so that you may never oppose justice. Be honorable so that you may never voluntarily bring disgrace upon anyone. Be chaste so that ;you may avoid all the foulness of lust like the pangs of death. All these virtues I have noted above make up the royal crown, and without them no one is fit to rule here on earth or attain to the heavenly kingdom. – from Saint Stephen's advice to his son

We sort of knew but didn't quite know: in about nine hours, we'd be parents.
I went to take a shower because that seemed like a good idea and then we packed a hospital bag. I was 40 weeks and 5 days pregnant with you. Friends had been asking for weeks, "have you packed a hospital bag?" I'd taken to saying yes, just to let the nagging cease. I had a perfect vision of a hospital bag, intricately articulated. But we hadn't packed one. It seems like something you should know about us, your dad and I. We're great dreamers and sometimes we'd rather spend more time laying on the couch, legs entwined, and dream deeper, than get up and do anything practical like pack a hospital bag. You're a dreamer, too, darlin'. You're just like that.
Half a decade to the minute ago, I was about to become a parent; I was about to become your mother. I'd begin to learn the many ways you're just like us, and the quirky ways you're like no one I've ever known.
You know that hospital bag we packed? We didn't need it. We didn't use anything from it. All we needed was you.
At 6:01 tomorrow morning, you'll be five years old. I want you to know: these have been the best five years of my life.

Are you looking for other sports options besides Cleveland's major sports teams? There are a variety of sports contests in the Cleveland area and around the world that should appeal to a wide range of sports interests, as well as a number of Clevelanders participating in national and international competitions.
But first, Congratulations to Westlake High School's own LAUREN GOLICK, the 2012 Division 1 State Tennis Champion!! During her great career she had previously finished third at the state level in 2010 and fourth in 2011. What a great accomplishment for this senior athlete!
Now for some sports for those who think outside the box.
Bocce: Related to ancient ball games played during the time of the Roman Empire, and developed in its present form in Italy, Bocce is a popular game played in many areas of the United States with a strong Italian heritage. There are a number of Bocce clubs in the Cleveland area. The Wickliffe Italian American Club won the World Series of Bocce in July in Rome, New York. The runners-up, Vandra Brothers, are also from the Cleveland area. These locals topped 78 teams in the open division. In August the Wickliffe Italian American Club hosted the 29th Annual Cleveland Challenge Cup, with over 90 teams competing and over 15,000 spectators in attendance over the three-day tournament. The Vandra Brothers took first place.
Cricket: Just completed in Sri Lanka was the International Cricket Council's 2012 World Twenty/20 competition. With an estimated TV audience of 1.5 billion viewers, it was one of the most-watched sporting events in 2012 - except in the United States. The team from the West Indies reigns as world champions. Here in Cleveland there is the Cleveland Cricket League and the Cleveland Cricket Club, among others.
Parachuting: Coming up from November 28-December 9 is the World Parachuting Championships in Dubai, UAE. Among the 60-member U.S. Team is Andrew Starr, 27, a native Clevelander and member of the Army's parachute team, the Golden Knights. Officials are expecting over 800 participants in such events as canopy formations and piloting, free fall flying, over water, and accurate landing.
Rowing: The recently completed Summer Olympics, with Westlake's own Margot Shumway competing in the finals of the double sculls, have brought fresh attention to this thriving sport. And Cleveland is making a splash by just recently building a 19,000 square foot boatrhouse at the new Rivergate Park along the banks of the Cuyahoga River. The Cleveland Rowing Foundation held two important events in September. On September 15, the 17th annual Head of the Cuyahoga featured 310 shells participating, including scholastic and collegiate teams from 16 states and 65 rowing clubs. The following day featured the inaugural US Rowing Masters National Head Race Championships. This regatta will be held in different locations each year and will return to Cleveland every Olympic year.
Rugby: Another local success story is a rugby team from Cleveland's west side, the Cleveland Rovers. They were founded in 1978 and are part of the Ohio Rugby Union, which is part of the Midwest Rugby Union. As of this writing, they are 7-1-0 for the fall season, with a match coming up against Pittsburgh before they head to the Midwest Rugby Union's Eastern Conference Playoffs on November 3 and 4. Their home games are played at Impett Park (West 153rd and Montrose). There is also an Eastern Suburbs Rugby Football Club, the Green Horde.
Featured Books:
Memoirs of a Rugby-Playing Man: Guts, Glory and Blood in the World's Greatest Game by Jay Atkinson (796.333092 A876M - 2012)
"Bestselling author Atkinson explores what his 30-year-career as a rugby-playing vagabond has taught him about authenticity, commitment, passion, and the joys or raising hell."
The Joy of Bocce by Marion Pagnoni (796.31 P139J - 2011)
" The Joy of Bocce is the only instructional book on Bocce in America. It covers the A to Z of the sport ... rules, strategy, bocce jargon, organizing a league ... all enhanced by numerous photos and illustrations."

United States Migration Trails and Roads Natchez Trace
The Natchez Trace, or "Old Natchez Trace" was a 450 mile (725 km) long trail connecting what were originally American Indian settlements on the Cumberland River (Nashville, Tennessee) and Tennessee River ("Wawmanona" Indian site near Florence, Alabama) with settlements near the Mississippi River (Natchez, Mississippi). In the 1796 the trace was extended 275 miles (440 km) from Nashville, Tennessee to Maysville, Kentucky where it connected with Zane's Trace which continued through Ohio to Wheeling, West Virginia. This made it possible to go overland from the east coast to the Mississippi River. After the trace was upgraded to a road in 1801, the same could be done in a wagon for the first time.Contents |
Historical Background
The "trace" was first created by animals like bison to reach salt licks in the Nashville area, and their grazing areas near the Mississippi River. American Indians, developed the trace further for trading mostly, and also as a warpath. An unknown Frenchman was the first European to write about traveling the full Natchez Trace in 1742.[1] But earlier Europeans such as Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto may have come across parts of the trace in 1540 while being guided by Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. The trace followed a natural ridge and, at first, was only a narrow footpath or horse trail unsuitable for wagons because of trees.In 1801 the United States signed a treaty with the Choctaw Indians allowing construction of a mail road by the side the the old footpath.
Midwestern farmers often floated their goods down the Mississippi River to market in New Orleans. One of the ways they could return to Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, or Indiana was by way of the Natchez Trace. However, because their pockets were loaded with money they were frequently preyed upon by gangs of robbers along the trail.
Original trace south to north:
- Natchez, Adams, Mississippi
- Port Gibson, Claiborne, Mississippi
- Jackson, Hinds, Mississippi
- Williamsville, Attala, Mississippi
- Tupelo, Lee, Mississippi
- Tishomingo, Tishomingo, Mississippi
- Florence, Lauderdale, Alabama
- Collinwood, Wayne, Tennessee
- Duck River, Hickman, Tennessee
- Leipers Fork, Williamson, Tennessee
- Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee
1796 extension:
- Tompkinsville, Monroe, Kentucky
- Harrodsburg, Mercer, Kentucky
- Lexington, Fayette, Kentucky
- Maysville, Mason, Kentucky
Settlers and Records
There is no known list of settlers who travelled the Natchez Trace. However, some of the early residents of Tennessee may have used the Natchez Trace to reach their destination, as well as several other routes like the Great Valley Road, Wilderness Road, Avery's Trace, or Georgia Road. For early Tennessee settlers see:
- East Tennessee Historical Society, First families of Tennessee : a register of early settlers and their present-day descendants (Knoxville, Tenn.: East Tennessee Historical Society, c2000) [FHL Book 976.8 H2ff].

You've spent months working over your sheetmetal until it was razor straight. Countless hours were spent getting every gap and detail just right in preparation for paint. But once the paint is laid down another step is required to get the big payoff from all your hard work: the cut and buff.
The cut and buff procedure, also known as color sanding and buffing, is the key to turning an average paintjob into a showstopping, winning work of art. A talented painter can lay down the paint nice enough to please many people, but to get that mile-deep mirror finish requires more work.
Color sanding, if done correctly, can turn a good paintjob into an amazing one. The idea is to smooth out the tiny waves and bumps in the clearcoat (commonly referred to as orange peel) and get rid of minute imperfections in the finish. Very specialized high-grit papers are used that range from 400 all the way to superfine 3,000-grit varieties.
This is definitely an area where "practice makes perfect", and if you're new to this then you might want to spray a few test panels to practice on first. For some professional guidance on how to do this we cruised over to Best of Show Coach Works in Escondido, California, to watch Jon Lindstrom work over Dick Kvamme's freshly painted '61 Corvette. Lindstrom's been doing this since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and he's learned what works and what doesn't. More importantly, he has a keen eye and the patience it takes to spend 40, 50, 60, or more hours to create a show-winning finish.

Mining (Profession) | |
List of ore veins • List of ore by zone • Quests • Recipes • Trainers • Leveling guide |
Mining allows you to find and mine minerals, ores, and stones from resource nodes scattered throughout the world. It is one of the primary professions. Materials from mining and the items miners can create from them are reagents needed for recipes within other professions.
The Burning Crusade expansion contains several mobs that are capable of being mined. This method is continued in Wrath of the Lich King. See Ore skinning for a general definition, and Mineable Mobs for a list.
Mining pointers:
For other articles related to Mining, see the Mining category.

Mining is a complementary profession to blacksmithing, engineering and jewelcrafting. Mining provides ores, which can be used in smelting,(Included after learning mining. Note that while ores are minable at higher skill levels you need to manually learn the smelting recepies to create bars,) Which increases your skill level and creates ingots, which are far more commonly used than the raw ores.
Mining can be a profitable gathering profession because of the large sums utilized by the other primary professions. Jewelcrafters require five ore per prospect, blacksmiths can use dozens of bars for specific items, and engineers use large amounts of ore for the many consumable materials they can create. Mining also tends to benifit other miners, like in the case of getting the materials to smelt Dark Iron Bars.
Mining skill also grants the player Toughness.
Economical Gain
As with any gathering professional, low-level characters and characters without economic support may consider using two gathering professions. While this denies the player the ability to directly enhance his or her equipment/abilities, it does allow one to, in theory, make money quickly and easily through the use of the auction house.
An excellent way for miners of every skill level to make gold is to smelt two bars into a higher value bar. For example smelting a Copper Bar and Tin Bar together to create 2 Bronze Bars, because a single bronze bar usually sells for more at the auction house than a copper or tin bar (although you should always check to see if this is the case before smelting as the process is irreversible). Naturally, this means that you could also buy copper and tin bars (or even the usually cheaper ores) from the auction house and smelt these into the more valuable bronze bars, thus yielding you sometimes over 50 in profit with very little effort (depending on server, prices of bronze, tin and copper). If you farmed the ores yourself this profit can double, but it will take more time. Be warned that this method of gold making works in the case of bronze bars (on most servers) because of the high demand for these bars, it may not work as well for Steel Bars or higher level bars...
Regardless of the method chosen, mining can be profitable. With regards to mining, be sure to check the local prices of your ore against the local prices of your smelted bars. Frequently ores will be more valuable because they can be prospected or smelted for skill points. This desirability leads to increased cost per unit.
Tools and Abilities
A mining pick is required to mine nodes in-game. This item type can be found at various vendors, such as 'trade good, mining supplies, engineering supplies, and blacksmithing supplies vendors. The pick must be in the player inventory to be used when mining a node.
A trained apprentice miner will immediately learn the Find Minerals ability, which highlights nearby nodes on the mini-map. The miner will also learn the accompanying smelting skill. This skill is used to convert one or more ore and elemental ingredients into bars, which are used in various professions. This skill can only be used in the vicinity of a forge, and will occasionally grant skill points depending on the player profession level.
In addition to a miner's pick and their ore-sensing abilities, dedicated ore farming may require a bag. There are a few specialized bags that can be made or bought. These bags typically have 20, 28, or 32 slots respectively and will automatically store mined ores.
Worthy of note:
- Enchant Gloves - Advanced Mining adds +5 to mining skill.
- Enchant Gloves - Gatherer adds +5 to all gathering skills (mining, herbalism and skinning).
- [Goblin Mining Helmet] adds +5 to mining skill.
Mining Skill and its Increase
Different veins will require different mining skill levels to loot (e.g. mithril veins require a skill of 175). The relative difficulty of the mining attempt is colour coded as all other crafting and gathering professions:
- Red: Skill insufficient.
- Orange: 100% chance of increasing skill level.
- Yellow: 75% chance of increasing skill level.
- Green: <50% chance of increasing skill level.
- Gray: Never increases skill level.
Although the same colors are used as for other professions, the actual odds of getting a skillup are considerably higher than the color would indicate. For example, at skill 60, a copper vein will appear green but have a ~80% chance of giving a skillup. In general, if a node is of the highest-level type of ore you can mine (not counting rare veins like silver or gold), there is a very high chance you will get a skillup.
To mine a vein, right-click on it. After a brief animation, a loot box containing ore, stone and sometimes rare drops like gems or motes. Nodes that are orange or yellow in difficulty will likely skill your mining ability, so it is important to focus on these nodes when you are leveling this profession.
Prior to Patch 3.0.8, mining a node completely required multiple attempts, one for each unit of ore. As such, each node could yield a one point of skill increase per miner. This would allow several players in a raid or group to mine the same node for a skill-up. Since the patch,a single mining attempt extracts all available loot from the vein. Alternatively, miners can share a node for a skill-up by not looting the vein. This allows multiple miners to gain a skill point (or tap) a vein, but only one miner will receive all the ore.
Smelting provides an opportunity to level mining at a faster pace. Smelting large stores of collected ore can be smelted en masse and in large quantities. Since 3.08, it has been possible to level from 1-375 only via smelting, but this will be expensive, since at certain skill ranges there is a very low chance of getting a skill point.
In Azeroth, Outland and Northrend there exist rare spawns of various ore veins in place or more common metals. Specifically:
- Tin can spawn Silver.
- Iron can spawn Gold.
- Mithril can spawn Truesilver.
- Fel Iron and Adamantite can spawn Khorium
- Saronite can spawn Titanium
- Elementium can spawn Pyrite
These vein types are visually distinct from normal veins. They typically have a glossier, shinier model, and are described as silver, gold, or truesilver when exposed on the minimap.

Orange | Yellow | Green | Gray | |
Copper Vein | 1 | 25 | 50 | 100 |

Abilities Gained
Sufficiently skilled Miners gain the Toughness (mining) buff.
Tips and Tricks
- MapWoW is a great Google Earth-like web application for finding node locations.
- Gatherer is an add-on that can keep track of historical mining data. It can keep track of when and where you last mined a node. Additionally, it can be partnered with GathererDB. This addon is a communal database of mined ore.
- GatherMate is a replacement for the now defunct Cartographer_Mining. It aims to be map addon independent.
- Weapons can also serve as a mining pick:
- [Kobold Excavation Pick]
- [Gouging Pick]
- [Brann's Trusty Pick]
- [Cold Iron Pick]
- [Miner's Revenge]
- [Tunnel Pick]
- [Digmaster 5000]
- A [Gnomish Army Knife] cannot be used as a weapon but does function as:
- Paladins, Unholy Death Knights, Druids and Engineers have a slight advantage in mining because of speed increasing talents.
Mining Bugs
- Nodes have been known to respawn in rapid succession immediately after mining. This is much more common with nodes in Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor than in Outland or Northrend.
- Occasionally, a node will appear on the minimap but be inaccessible.
- If the node is a gray-yellow in the minimap, it is underground.
- If the node is solid yellow, but not visible, it is bugged and cannot be mined.
- Rarely, certain nodes will not appear in the minimap but be harvestable in-game. Dark Iron Ore is a good example of this.
- Players standing on top of ore nodes will remain where they stand after the node is mined.
Patch changes
/ Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): Mining gives XP.The higher level the character is, the less XP it will get. See Formulas:Gather XP.
Patch 3.3.3 (2010-03-23): [Titansteel Bar]: Creating this item no longer results in a 24h cooldown.
Patch 3.2.0 (04-Aug-2009): In addition to the normal requirements, mining deposits in Northrend now require a minimum character level of 65 to mine.
Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): You can no longer fail when Mining, Herbing, and Skinning.
Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Mining veins and deposits no longer require multiple hits to receive all the ore. Players will receive around the same amount of ore, stone, and gems they would have received from multiple hits.

Verlander aims to continue positive strides
Danks squares off against Tigers ace in second of four on South Side
Justin Verlander has struggled with velocity lately, but those problems may finally be slowing down.
The Tigers ace, who sports a middling 4.19 ERA through 13 starts this season, has averaged a shade over 94 mph on his fastball this season, according to brooksbaseball.net, which is the lowest mark of his career. However, Verlander's last two starts showed promise that his hard stuff could be on the rise.
Facing the Mariners on May 30, the right-handed Verlander held the opposition to three runs over 7 2/3 innings while averaging 95 mph on his four-seamer. Then, despite giving up six runs in seven innings against the hot-hitting Blue Jays in his last start, his heater was up to an average 95.88 mph.
"[My] last couple of starts have been night and day better stuff-wise," Verlander said.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus also feels his starting pitcher has begun turning a corner on the mound.
"Absolutely. His stuff the last two starts has been the best stuff he's had all year," Ausmus said. "Two starts ago in Seattle, he pitched very well. I know against Toronto he gave up a few runs but the stuff was good."
But even with momentum on his side, Verlander will have history working against him. In 15 career starts at U.S. Cellular Field, he is 5-7 with a 4.26 ERA -- though he did manage seven innings of three-run baseball during his last trip to Chicago.
John Danks (4-5, 4.32) will see the bump first for the White Sox.
Danks hit a rough patch during May, including two starts that saw the left-hander allow a combined 16 runs (15 earned) in 9 2/3 innings -- subsequently inflating his season numbers. Since then, however, Danks has hit his stride, surrendering a total of three runs across his last three starts. He pitched 7 1/3 innings of one-run baseball against the Dodgers last time out, scattering just two hits and fanning five.
"I wasn't as sharp as I'd like," said Danks of his most recent outing, "but I guess you could call it effectively wild. It's not an easy lineup and I knew I had to be good going against Josh [Beckett]. Caught some breaks, they hit some balls at some guys and I'm happy we got the win."
Sitting 3 1/2 games back of Detroit in the American League Central, White Sox manager Robin Ventura recognizes the importance of defeating a division opponent. More than putting extra weight on any one series, however, the skipper simply wants to see his team play with more consistency.
"You've got to win some games that you're behind early on, coming from behind to win games and feeling that you can score all the time. Guys get hurt and now they come back," Ventura said. "You've got to find a way to get that feeling back to where you know you can score every time."
Tigers: Ausmus likes veteran-heavy team
The Tigers have struggled to find consistency this season. Winning streaks of eight and six games sandwhiched around a 1-3 stretch put Detroit a season-high 15 games over .500 at 27-12. Since then, Detroit is 6-15.
One of the club's glaring weaknesses has been its bullpen, which has an American Leage-worst 4.69 ERA. But the bullpen, much like the roster as a whole, is a veteran-laden group. Knowing this, Ausmus feels confident he has a team that can handle the peaks and valleys of a season.
"Nothing in baseball is more valuable than experience," Ausmus said. "We have a lot of veterans on this team, and I think it makes it easier to handle the ups and downs of the baseball season. I think it also makes it more comforting to the young players when they see the veterans handling it that way."
White Sox: Fielding woes continue
The White Sox have had their share of issues on the mound this season, but the team's defense has not done the pitching staff any favors, either.
The South Siders rank 14th in the American League in fielding percentage. They have also committed the second-most errors (52) of any AL team this season.
"You've got to get better," Ventura said. "The defense has to work for you. Defensively, we need to get better. That's it. You just have to find ways to make plays.
"Any time you make miscues on defense, you're just making pitchers work more. You're not going to hold up if you do that because it's too hard to win in this league if you're doing that."
Worth noting
• Adam Dunn of the White Sox homered in three straight starts before Tuesday's series opener. With one more big fly, he'll tie Carl Yastrzemski for 36th on the all-time home runs list (452).
• Tigers closer Joe Nathan, who has a 7.04 ERA through 25 relief appearances this season, was given the ninth inning off on Sunday in favor of Joba Chamberlain. Even so, Ausmus said that Nathan is still the team's closer.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Pizza doesn't care where the heat comes from, but it DOES care how long it is applied and at what temp (which is generally related). That is really the only thing that can be used to define a style (other than things like shape).
So, if I bake a NY style 7 minutes and it burns, is it a burned NY style or a burned American style?
Neither Don.....are you trying to make hominy or sum'in?
Neapolitan: 40-90 seconds.New York: 3-5 minutes.American: 6-12 minutes.
Yep, this just puts it at topic level to make it easier to find.
What are all the pies that fall in the 91 second to 2:59 gap?
I wonder what Reinhart doughs that are baked in a WFO for about 1 ½ minutes, or a Reinhart dough that is baked in a deck oven for about 6 minutes are called. Both can be quite tasty in my opinion, but are they then both called American style?
