Maybe the brother of the three tails?
He? - Looks more like a cross between the Three Tails Host and the Seven Tails host...
Maybe the brother of the three tails?
maybe thats how well know of the remaining jinchurikis, thru fillers
I do hope the filler reflect more on the Tailed Beast Host that was spot lighted as well as show some scenes of the fight between the Fourth Tail and Kam... (I forgot his name). Itachi partner within the Akatsuki group.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I'M FROM TAKE A LOOK HERE MY FRIEND:Spoiler!
Kisama... I feel sure that the will show it.
Enough information was given in the databooks about him, and they'll want to stretch out the anime as long as possible before they get into the sage training and the attack on Konoha.
First time I found any enjoyment in filler^^
Yay! More Jiraiya.
I hope we see more of Jiraiya... the guys who read the manga will understand what I'm trying to say.
Awesome, just awesome
Yea, sometimes there are joy within fillers as well as info that wasn't went into indepth with manga. I mean it was the Eng Subbed Anime that first draw my attention to the Naruto world.
So, lets hope they do something good within the fillers and not anything corny...................like have Naruto saying, "I will not make the Akatsuki capture the three Jin. or Tailed Beast".
While we know from the manga he and the eight tailed beast host is all that's left.................
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I'M FROM TAKE A LOOK HERE MY FRIEND:Spoiler!
Yea... Al though Naruto whine, drama explosion and over exaggeration of dramatic events is guaranteed, I hope we at least get to see something worth giving a thought to..
anyone else kinda wish that we would get fillers with the real arcs mixed together?
they could make the real arc go by slowly and mostly give us the filler but at least you'd get some of the real arc in there.
just my 2cents
this is what will happen in the end of this filler:
1. Yamato/kakashi teams will be back!! konohamaru will do the boy on boy jutsu again!!!
2. Sasuke is going to kill Orochimaru
3. Naruto is going with Jiraya to train to learn that new jutsu

Biology the Way It Should Be Taught
Dan Eddelman '10 - Today started off with breakfast at
In photo, a spotted sea hare found near the dock.
Keegan Gelvoria – '10. Today, on another day at the office, we swam to a patch reef on the southern side of the island. We walked off the beach and swam through patches of turtle grass, glazing over the habitat we already observed yesterday. When we arrived to the patch reef, we were able to see a larger diversity of corals than the other patches of reef. Amongst all the coral, there was a variety of marine organisms. Since the waves that were cresting from the reef were so close, it was able to move us off our course quite easily. So, we swam around the western end of the island to an area of turtle grass to see another type of habitat. At this part, we saw upside-down jellyfish, animals which are exactly as their name describes. We also saw quite a bit of donkey dung sea cucumbers, which are not the prettiest animals of the sea. After another delicious meal at the research center, we took a boat out past the Smithsonian research island, Carrie Bow Caye. We reached our destination, which was another patch reef. This patch reef was a bit different than the patch reef from the morning because it was more pelagic. Organisms in this area were a bit larger. I accidentally brushed up on some fire coral that still seemed to penetrate through my rash guard; there was a sharp stinging sensation on the area for a while. We saw so many different types of invertebrates during these two snorkeling sessions; sun anemones, cushion sea star, brain corals, and branching vase sponge are just a small percentage of what we saw. This center is a great place because there are currently three different academic programs visiting:

Five arrested in Chester County marijuana cases
Aerial surveillance helped the Chester County Sheriff's Office make five arrests in two separate incidents for growing marijuana on Thursday.
Paul Sanders III and Paul Rashaad Sanders IV of 2716 Ballindam Road in Chester were arrested on drug and narcotics violations after members of the Chester County's narcotics unit and State Law Enforcement Division observed what appeared to be a backyard marijuana growing operation.
Deputies on the ground found 15 buckets with marijuana plants next to a vegetable garden, according to a sheriff's office report.
In the second incident, the narcotics unit and SLED observed what appeared to be marijuana at 3339 Lancaster Highway, Richburg.
Deputies on the ground found 44 plants about 100 feet from a house, according to a sheriff's office report.
Arrested for drug and narcotics violations were Kentovian Markell White, 24; Latonia Shena Gaston, 43; and Kevin Antonio Gaston, 45.

A 20-year nail tech has the chops for big competitions.
When Lynn Lammers made up her mind that she was going to be serious about competing, she wasn't kidding. She threw herself into it with the passion of a champion (and to nobody's surprise it only took her three years to reach that champion status). "When I finally decided to get serious about competing, I attended every competition I could. I made sacrifices and I practiced a lot," she says. While some competitors find models on the show floor, Lynn took no chances. She brought her competition model to every show she could. And obviously, it paid off.
"Competing regularly is a big commitment, but the benefits far outweigh the expenses," says Lynn. "I got to see new places and meet new people. My nail style changed for the better. And pretty soon after I started, competing began to pay for itself with winnings. There is nothing wrong with spending your birthday on the competition floor!"
A nail tech for 20 years, the freelance nail stylist sees clients on a referral-only basis in Redlands, Calif. After coming out on top of this year's NAILS Top 25 list, she's exactly where she wants to be. (Well, she's now set her goals on traveling to international competitions and becoming World Champion.)
She seemingly came out of nowhere on the competition circuit. (We didn't even have an actual picture of Lynn until earlier this year when we noticed her winning a lot.) "It's a funny thing; it happened so fast that I didn't get a lot of face time so most people only know my name. They don't recognize me. At a trade show last year, I was talking to a girl about competing. When she asked my name, I said 'Lynn Lammers,' and she exclaimed 'You're Lynn Lammers? Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm talking to Lynn Lammers and I didn't even know it. I have goosebumps!' I was so flattered that the only response I could give was 'Well, now you're giving me goosebumps!'"
When we have a competitor, and a number-one competitor at that, come in for a cover shoot, we love to have them do something extreme. Her favorite competition style is long sculptured nails. Lynn suggested this extreme pink-and-white stiletto look, and like she always does before a competition, she practiced the set several times so she was ready to go when she arrived.
To get this look:
1. Shape and file the natural nails. Remove the surface shine, dust the nails, and apply primer to all 10 nails.
2. Sculpt all 10 moons with glitter acrylic.
3. Go back to your first nail and apply the form. (Lynn pinched the end of the form into a point in order to achieve the stiletto tip.)
4. Using a pink camouflage powder, extend the nail bed out past the natural free edge. You want to keep the camouflage pink very thin.
5. After you've extended the nail bed, apply the white tip in an extreme stiletto shape.
6. When you're satisfied with the smile line, apply a transparent pink acrylic over the entire nail bed to add depth to the nail.
7. File the nails to refine the shape and dust them off.
8. Apply a UV gel topcoat and cure.

Hot girl and hot sex, but falls short in some areas.Jul/30/2012 By raincoat star 0 user(s) found this review helpful. |
Keywords the reviewer selected : The star of Aikata 2, Sakura, is extremely hot, ticking all of my personal boxes: she has perfectly sized breasts, a cute face, and sexy pubic hair framing her lovely pink pussy. But none of that would matter if Kokutou's animation were not so excellent or if the sex were not so hot, sweaty, and intense. Sakura takes a pounding in every orifice and loves to talk dirty whenever her mouth isn't full. There are six different scenarios including masturbation with a vibrator, a footjob, and my personal favourite: Sakura getting double-teamed in a restaurant (presumably after closing time, though you never know) by couple of customers... while wearing a rather fetching waitress outfit.

Released: Nov 01st, 2005
Running Time: 178
Director: Khan Tusion
Company: Pariah Pictures
Distribution Companies: JM Productions
Jane (I), Anyssa, Erik Everhard, Sara Stone (I), Candi Sweet, Frank Wank
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Khan Tusion and crew continue taking accommodating young girls out on midnight prowls to bang total strangers. Most of the action takes place at local L.A. freak shop Mondo Video. But sometimes, dudes are literally plucked right off the street.
While the most fascinating aspect of this title is these girls' willingness to bang multiple strangers over the course of an evening, second to that is the size of Sara Stone's natural jugs. She gets taken on a daytime prowl, and Khan Tusion grabs a dude off the sidewalk for a quickie in the limo.
19-year-old Anyssa gets double-teamed at Mondo and then bangs another stranger in the limo. Jane and Candi Sweet each take multiple cocks in the limo and even more cock in Mondo.
Retailing: This unique series deserves a unique, dedicated spot.

500 George St
Sydney CBD
Our shopping odyssey was nearing its end and we decided to grab some food before leaving the city. Sushi Hotaru provided the perfect option for us. Its a sushi train with, as you would expect, very fresh sushi travelling around being consumed and added to very regularly.
We were lucky enough to grab a few spots straight away and watched as a few laps of food went by - just to peruse the selections available. It all looked so fresh and tasty - the hardest thing was where to start.
As Mlady is a bit of a tuna fan we grabbed these juicy morsels. The tangy tuna was nicely offset by the crisp freshness of the cherry tomato. These rolls were a decent size too and tasted great. The next choice had a nice combination of salmon, tuna and avocado - again extremely fresh and tasty.
The chicken and avocado rolls are simple yet always tasty. The chicken was sweet and tender and the avocado fresh and ripe.
The final dish was a curious one. We still aren't exactly sure what it was (or is). It was crisp - having obviously been fried - and came with a nice dipping sauce. There was plenty of it too.
Sushi Hotaru is tucked away a bit but has a nice selection of sushi that is very fresh and very tasty.

The Decatur Post Office has announced that it collected 6,300 pounds of food during the 20th annual national food drive to "Stamp Out Hunger" on May 12 — the largest one-day food drive in the nation.
A Decatur letter carrier said that this is the most food that has been collected in the area since the food drive began in the '90s.
Letter carriers collected non-perishable food donations left at mail boxes and in post offices for delivery to local community food banks, pantries and shelters. Locally, donations go to Operation Help, as well as the St. Joe, Decatur Church of God, St. Mark's and North Adams Church of Christ food pantries.
Decatur postal officials thanked those who donated.

The new Pug hot hatch -- one of many that our overseas friends are able to choose from -- sports the same 175-horsepower turbo-4 found under the hood of the Mini Cooper S, one of the car's key market competitors along with the RenaultSport Clio 197. Save for the metallic rearview mirros and the rear spoiler, the 207 GTi is visually identical to its more sedate bretheren in the lineup -- a fact the Auto Expres
The Peugeot 207 EPURE concept looks like a production car because, for the most part, it is. What you see is the new Peugeot 207 CC ... almost. A peek underhood reveals the "concept" part of this little French bulldog: it's powered by a fuel cell.

June 13, 2012 Peres and Obama meet in the White House discuss Iran, peace processPeres opens meeting asking that Obama release convicted spy Pollard in clemency not as a pardon. |
President Shimon Peres met with President Barack Obama on Wednesday, prior to the official dinner and reception at the White House, during which Peres will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civic award in the U.S. The fate of the convicted spy Jonathan Pollard was the first issue Peres raised in the meeting with Obama, saying this issue is very important to many people in Israel. In their talks Peres stressed that freeing Pollard would be clemency not a pardon. Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, and White House chief of staff Jack Lew also attended the meeting. Read more at Haaretz.com. |

I don't have the blueprints for the Pentagon, so you'll have to rely on your own wits via Google for that information. LOl! Why do I care what other people make? I also have a problem that money as a measure of a man's or woman's worth but society today seems to be captivated by that way of life. You may not foster that ideology personally, but it is quite evident in our society as a whole via rampant consumerism, the obsession with bigger houses or second houses, the celebrity status of TV ministers (not to mention the huge temple buildings), the grotesque gambling on Wall Street and ....well, I could go on. No account for taste, in my estimation. One of many consequences of an indulgent (American) society is growing apathy. For eg, white collar crimes are poorly kept in check nor held accountable while blue collar crimes are often given over to the gallows and the poor are used as fodder for political ambitions. (Note: Your kids college texts on Criminal Justice is where the necessary 101 on crime stats can be found.) That said, RLs example of self-indulgence & hypocritical condemnation of others for same/similar sins he has committed, & self-aggrandizing speeches spreading the US vs THEM ideology is repulsive to me. Similarly, RLs sanctimonious rantings is akin to bearing false witness. I hope you will pardon my weak stomach. Considering RL's distinction of running a well-crafted Barnum n Bailey show while savoring his grandeur as a well-paid luminary, I have a question. Why has he been further rewarded as a magnate or 'authoritative' figure within the Republican Party? For a conservative, I would find it embarrassing. Alec Baldwin etc. for the quintessential liberal, btw, is a poor example, imm. The man should be treated for mood disorder. Sooooo, when did Hollywood become the bedrock for critical thinking skills in philosophy, social justice, democracy and diplomacy? If you're religious, a better choice would be Sojourners.com, Interfaith Alliance or Foundation of Ethnic Understanding - ffeu.org. For others, there are congregates of intelligent 'liberal' thinkers who no doubt would find the likes of Baldwin or the ever-narcissistic Streisand uninspiring at best. I don't watch TV, so I have no idea if Oprah is liberal, centrist or whatever. I have another question: Let's leave out the religious dogma for a change. I am curious.

Notre Dame de Lourdes and the pilar...............................................................
Rennes le Chateau search engine
Recently,the tomb was destroyed by the present owner of the land who was fed up with having curious people on his private land.
Inside the tomb of Arques in 1972 I remind you that burial place violation is forbidden by the law. I cannot tell where this photo comes from but I garantee that it was taken at Les Pontils.
private colleciton
Pontils Tomb
This grave and this landscape look like the picture Nicolas Poussin painted between 1638 and 1639 : Shepherds in Arcadia.
The " Pontils Mill " situated between Campagne Aude and Fa was bought in 1880. In 1903,the owners grand mother was buried there. In 1921, her remains were brought to Limoux and the land was sold. The tomb which can be seen on the photographs was built by the next owners son. His mother was buried there.
So this grave didnt exist when Poussin painted his picture,and the flagstone cannot have been brought by Father Bigou.

From: TSS ()
Published Friday, February 25, 2005 USDA harasses mad cow whistleblowers The discovery of Mad Cow disease in the United States back in December 2003 has rocked the beef industry. Consumer confidence in beef products has plummeted. Japan, this country's largest customer, has closed its borders to our beef products. Most cattlemen, meat processors and related investors have begun to see record profits drop sharply. Then came the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) -- the world's largest promoter of agricultural enterprises -- to the rescue. The USDA's first effort was to convince a wary public, industry and world that its Mad Cow surveillance system had successfully discovered the ill animal through routine operations. At first this massive and misleading public relations gambit worked. After all, according to the "facts" presented to the public, the sick cow was a "downer cow," (one that arrived at the slaughter facility unable to stand) and was therefore tested for mad cow disease. Of course, it was "officially" considered unfortunate that unwary consumers had already consumed the cow in question. It was also lamented that the other slaughtered cows from the possibly infected herd had largely disappeared because of USDA's inability to trace contaminated or questionable products. Nevertheless, the "solution" to the problem was relatively easy and obvious; that is, modestly increase testing, ban the consumption of downer cows, stop the importation of Canadian cows or beef products since the mad cow had originated in Canada, and forbid the use of any cattle feed laced with animal products. Thanks to whistleblowers and other truth-tellers, the purported facts began to unravel, exposing the proposed reforms as woefully inadequate. The tested cow was not a downer; except for a physical injury, the cow in question did not show signs of Mad Cow disease. Furthermore, it was chosen for testing randomly, not because of any effective surveillance system for Mad Cow. Since the bovine in question had more in common with the 34 million head of cattle slaughtered every year than with the 200,000 "downers," banning the consumption of the latter was important -- perhaps equivalent to a "no-brainer" action -- but still largely irrelevant to the crisis at hand. Further, the decision to allow downer cows to be used for purposes such as cosmetics increased the likelihood that instead of consuming contamination, unsuspecting consumers would smear it over their bodies, a dubious improvement. Courageous federal meat inspectors began to expose other inadequacies of the surveillance program. They publicly described such problems as the shifting definitions of what constitutes a downer cow, woefully inadequate training of inspectors, and wildly disproportionate levels of surveillance that result in beef processed in New York being 2,000 times more likely to be monitored than that produced in Nebraska and other high-production areas of the country. The reality of reform proved far less substantial than the rhetoric. The final straw for USDA's credibility might well be at hand. In a desperate move to open the Japanese market, it agreed to segregate all cattle older than 30 months for special handling and marketing. No brains, spinal cords or other risky parts from older cows (which are far more likely to have mad cow disease) would enter the food chain. But then the head of the nation's meat inspector union wrote a letter to the USDA head of food safety saying that inspectors from across the country are officially reporting that segregation is not happening at many plants. Furthermore, when these inspectors determine from dental examination that older animals are being routinely slaughtered, there is nothing that they can do other than file a report that is ignored. Instead of welcoming the opportunity to take corrective action, the USDA turned against the whistleblower, subjecting him to hours of intense interrogation. Next, they questioned regional union leaders. The USDA then declared this latest reform to be effective. There was no scrutiny of the non-conformance reports that inspectors have been filing for months from across the country. Meanwhile, the stain on the USDA seal of approval has grown even darker. The agency's much repeated slogan, "zero tolerance for contamination," is looking increasingly like "even less tolerance for whistleblowing." Louis Clark is executive director of the Government Accountability Project (GAP) in Washington, D.C. GAP focuses on providing protection for federal employees who "blow the whistle" on wrongful actions by their employers. www.whistleblower.org http://cjonline.com/stories/022505/opi_clark.shtml

As a military blogger, almost every site I visit has something along the lines of the saying, "Loose Lips, Sink Ships," paired with some jolly looking seamen carrying his pack. But also every day I see things on these same sites and pages that make me cringe.
What is OPSEC? Technically speaking, OPSEC is how we keep servicemembers safe and military actions going as planned. Breaking OPSEC, then, happens when we say or do something publicly that puts either of those things at risk. So, when you post online any information about any pending military action or movement, any deployed servicemember's location or anything about any military plans that is supposed to be secret (the name of someone who has been killed, for example, before that information is publicly released) you are violating OPSEC.
Let's start with this basic list of simple OPSEC rules:
Do not post last names of any Soldier on this public forum
Do not post specific deployment and/or Troop movement dates (June is OK – June 15 is Not)Do not post specific Troop name information (92nd ID is OK – 3rd PLT, Delta Co, 92 Inf BN is Not).
Do not post the specific deployed location of your Soldier or any unit (Afghanistan is OK – FOB Jones in Not).
Do not post unit/Soldier itineraries (is. leaving post on June 15, flying to East Coast, to Europe, to Kuwait, to xxx base).
Do not post any Troop movement, size and/or action (ie. s patrol of 15 going outside the wire on Thursday)
That list is a good start – but it doesn't touch on some of the most common mistakes I see. Maybe you are making one of these without knowing it. Here is my list of top 6 OPSEC don'ts
1. Don't "check-in" at your FOB. Believe it or not, soldiers have checked-in at their Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) on Facebook. No joke. So now everyone knows where you are. Good work.
2. Don't list your specific job on Facebook. Do you really want the enemy to know specifically what you do? That information could potentially be used against you.
3. Don't post where your husband is ported. Ask yourself this: could someone with bad intentions who knows my husband is gone (because I said so on Facebook) use this information to make me think he knows my husband or make my husband think he knows or has been in contact with me? If so, don't post it.
4. Don't post when your husband is coming home. You may think your Facebook page is private – but do you really know that for sure?
5. Don't ask for prayer or good thoughts when your husband is "on mission." I know you want people to be supporting your family – but letting everyone know he is out on patrol is not the way to do it. This would be a message best relayed privately.
6. Don't post your metadata. "What is metadata," you ask? Metadata is that information linked to your photos or status updates letting people know where you posted from. Let's specifically think about ones that are sent to you by you husbands that you then post for them. Have you ever seen MythBusters? Well one of the hosts made a big booboo by posting a picture of what was later determined to be his house. How did people figure that out? One word – Metadata. So, not to dwell on this particular part of OPSEC too much here's quick link to how to remove that info.
Remember: just because the military tells you something, does not mean you can talk about it publicly. Maybe privately – but on Facebook? Not so much.
We are a very OPSEC sensitive household. In my opinion there really isn't any way to be too OPSEC minded. Too me, even if giving out information doesn't hurt military security it may hurt my personal security, or "PERSEC." Here are some things to think about for that:
Are your Facebook check-ins really necessary?
Can you see your spouse's job identification or rank on his uniform in pictures? It may make you a target. Think about it: you list where you are (city), that's a base location – say your profile picture has your hubby in his uniform in it – that's branch, last name, rank and possible job identification.
Are count-up clocks to deployments a good idea? I know they don't want you to do count down's, but count-ups really all that much better?
Do you have service related stickers on your car? I have no identifying markers on my car. No, "half my heart is in Iraq", or Air Force Wife, or cute little family member decals. It may seem silly, but it's just one piece of the puzzle for someone looking for some information. Someone could be driving behind me and in five minutes figure out that I'm a wife of whatever branch, I have this many children, including an honor student at such and such elementary school, and that my husband isn't here.
Is your profile military related? I try not make military pictures my profile pictures unless they are dated (older than five years or so). If they are up they are edited. Yes, I try to edit the pictures even on my private page. My last name is also not on my page.
Here's some food for thought: I happened to catch a repeat of Army Wives where the biological father of Joan and Roland's son found them. He had bits and pieces of information, like they were black, that she was a Colonel, and made the comment "How many female black colonels could there be in South Carolina?" It may seem like dramatic television, but it's not far from the truth, and is an excellent example of how small, meaningless, tidbits of information can be put together to create a much bigger picture.
Rheanna is an Air Force Wife and mommy of three. She began dating her husband at the ripe old age of sixteen and followed him through his choice to join the military in 2002. In 2004 they married and made their first move. Rheanna has a degree in Criminal Justice, and is currently a SAHM and Wife, blogger and runs her own handmade crochet and knitted items shop. They currently reside in the DC area, which makes these two history nerds extremely happy! You can find Rheanna blogging at Cammo Style Love.

Hotel San Lino in Volterra for your first two nights.
Your first day is free to explore splendid Volterra. This atmospheric town boasts substantial Etruscan and Roman remains, as well as several museums and an art gallery. Stroll along Via Ricciarelli, where there are some fine tower houses, and visit one of the workshops where they still work alabaster. Take time, too, to admire the views of the volcanic hills surrounding the town from the ancient ramparts. Alternatively, we suggest a short introdcutory walk to explore the soft rolling hills south of town, by first following the old rack-railway that ran from Saline to Volterra from 1912-1958, before heading uphill across an evocative landscape that offers a striking profile of hilltop Volterra as you ascend gradually back to town. (9km, 3hrs)
After a short transfer, you follow pleasant tracks and strade bianche across a couple of small valleys, through woodland and agricultural land as well as the village of San Donato, which boasts a lovely church. You pass numerous isolated poderi (farmsteads), once occupied by families of share-croppers who grew wheat, olives and grapes, and enjoy fine views across gently rolling hills to your destination, San Gimignano, where you have two nights at the Hotel Bel Soggiorno. (13km, 3.5hrs)
Spend your day discovering medieval San Gimignano, strolling along its charming streets lined with ancient houses and palaces. Only thirteen of the town's seventy towers remain today. On clear days it is well worth climbing the tallest of these, the tower belonging to the Palazzo del Popolo (pay locally), for splendid views of the area. For a longer walk, we recommend striking out into the countryside for a glorious circular route, which provides fantastic views over the town's imposing towers and is dedicated to the Vernaccia wines. (17km, 4hrs)
A beautiful walk that takes you through much softer, archetypal Tuscan landscapes of olive groves and vineyards and across the small River Foci to Colle Val d'Elsa. You arrive via the upper town, then descend the ramparts to the lower part. Take time to explore this fascinating town before dinner. Your hotel for the night is the Vecchia Cartiera. (13km, 4hrs)
After a transfer to the fortified hamlet of Monteriggioni, you walk along a section of the Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrims' route between Canterbury and Rome, to arrive in Siena for your final two nights at the Hotel Garden. (16km, 5hrs)
Your last day is again devoted to sightseeing. The delightful Campo is the centre of Sienese life, a piazza bordered on one side by the Palazzo Pubblico, which houses some splendid frescoes, including Lorenzetti's Effects of Good and Bad Government, and is topped by the Mangia Tower, which offers a superb panorama of the city. The cathedral is also well worth a visit (among its masterpieces are works by Jacopo della Quercia and Donatello), as are the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and the Pinacoteca.
If you are flying via Pisa, why not stop over at one of our hotels; or experience Florence, Italy's greatest art city, with two nights at the superior 3-star Il Guelfo Bianco.

Crew Available
I''m looking for some crewing for about 5 weeks, late August/September 05, preferably in European waters. I have quite a lot of dingy sailing (racing) and a reasonable amount of off-sore cruising in UK waters. At 57 I''m reasonably fit, reasonably competent at the chart table and on deck, with good safety awareness. I''m usually of a cheerful disposition even when wet, cold, tired and hungry and in rough seas. Never having been sea-sick helps. My cooking under such circumstances has been complemented, but ''wet, warm and welcomed'' would probably be a better description. A vegetarian (fish and dairy produce OK), non-smoker and temperate drinker - more than happy to sail on a ''dry'' boat (bad experience with an alcoholic skipper). I''m a self-employed database designer in need of a break and a bit of adventure. All I ask is a competent skipper on a well found boat - preferably in a warm climate. |

The cymbals are a mixture of companies. Hi-hat is a Zildjian. Three cymbals (hi-hat, crash, and crash/ride; only using the crash and crash/ride right now) came with the set, all Pearl, not really huge on them, will be looking to replace them in the future, but goddamn they're expensive. The crash/ride in the front there is a Sabian. Not sure what the other crash is. Still need a true ride. But that's going to have to wait a couple months because now I'm broke ha. And yeah, for the most part, all of the hardware is Pearl.
Yeah, great looking set man! Looks awesome. I'm incredibly blessed by the kit I get to use at my church. I forget all the details but I feel like I posted a picture of it before. At least, you can see it in the video of me really early on (like two lessons in) playing along with a Paramore song: I know my form in the video is really crap (resting my hand on my leg between snare hits) - again, it was really early on for me.
Welcome to 2 nights ago I'll have to try Dark Souls again in preparation at some point. Grow a little patience and get past that fatass spiral tower knight.
I saw the announcement but didn't come to the boards. spiral tower knight? the black knight in the undead parish? silver knights in anor londo?
That guy looks like a chump. So apperently The Walking Dead video game is amazing? Bah gawd people are jizzing all over it, how different is it from the comics/tv show? This game has gotten me really intrigued and I just saw that they're release a physical copy of the "first season" for this franchise and I'm probably going to end up picking it up. The characters are different right? Is the story completely different two or? I just finished 100%'ing NSMBU, which was a lot easier then the first one to do, I remember having a lot more trouble getting all the star coins in the first one, and that the extra World 9 being a MUCH bigger challenge. These were actually pretty easy, they were really cool levels, but nothing that'll make you through your controller in rage like the first one did. I guess they decided to keep the really difficult stuff for the Challenge Mode because Gawd DAM those are ridiculously hard to do, beating them is one thing, but to get a Gold rating on them is going to be next to impossible, idk if I'll bother getting higher then silver on them, just beating the 5* ones are going to be satisfying enough. I also finished Devil May Cry 3 this morning, it was the first DMC game I actually enjoyed playing through. =p And with that, I can go back to the AC series and play through the 3'rd one, my body is ready. I get laid off for the winter pretty much, so I have a ton of spare time now, which is why I'm going into hyper drive with video games, I don't have much time during the summer, hell I have a month and a half of banked hours, that's how much dam overtime I do during the summer. I'll be bumming for a couple of months until I get back into slavery. =p /long post
Not more then that no, it was just so meh. It did have its moments I suppose, I know I enjoyed the final boss fight. The 2nd one just kinda made me lol because I couldn't tell what the point of it was, just seemed all pointless, it was okay but I didn't "get it". 3rd one actually made some God dam sense and the story was being told a lot better. I haven't played the 4th one obviously but they need to change their fucking camera. Have they? By the impressions I've seen about the demo for the newer one coming out they've addressed the camera issue, right? Edit: Canadian tops again bitches.
SD: Ah, that's Havel. Key to beating him is actually being less tn 25% encumbered so you get your somersalt dodge and faster movement, making dodging his attacks and just backstabbing him to death pretty foolproof. Just learn his attack pattern and you're all set! Also, you don't have to kill him, dodge one attack and you can get by him.
Yeah I don't get why the walking dead got GOTY... what a fucking waste. They really just gave it for the serialized model and they're act like that show/comic is the best god damn thing on earth and it's just fucking not.
I'm loving the Walking Dead game. You might find one or two characters from the TV show/Comic in there, but by and large it's a completely different storyline. Makes me think back to the old point-n-click adventure games of LucasArts fame. The storytelling is great, you have to make some really hard decisions, etc. SO good.
I like the show, but working at a comic store has completely killed it for me to the point where I don't care to watch it at all. I thought the Walking Dead game was utter garbage, though.
The Walking Dead got me more emotional than any other piece of media by the end. The puzzles are really simple and it's occasionally unpolished, but the main draw for everyone seems to be the conversations and the story and I'm the same way. It being GOTY is appropriate, IMO. The next revolution/step/whatever for video games is going to be games that, on a regular basis, make people break down and cry, make them want to legitimately kill/humiliate the villain (I actually just did a blog on this, Borderlands 2-related... oh and some spoilers for Portal 1), etc. as well as stimulate with the more "gamey" side of it and The Walking Dead at least does half of that and does it the best out of any game of 2012. Max Payne 3 and Journey also did this, especially Journey, and I hate saying Journey doesn't emotionally stimulate as well as The Walking Dead because it was so unique... And I don't even like the show. It's not like the game is my supplement to the show or comic. I don't agree that Clementine should've gotten best female performance though. That was pure hype around the game itself rather than her quality acting. It is good enough to make you care for her, and the quality of the writing/story does the rest... but she often comes off as forcibly childish. Oh but I want to kick his ass at this point. And I wasn't aware that limiting your inventory made you faster rather than it being either overencumbered or normal speed.
Alright well I'll pick it up or ask for it for my birthday, I think I'll really like it. Games get me all emotional and it sounds like a roller-coaster.
I've got two more exams over here. Back-to-back tomorrow, starting at 10:30am. Can't wait to be done.
Aww damn, that sucks. When did you start the semester? Mine is 15 weeks long (we started at the end of August).
Haha, Exams. I remember those. *shuffles off with his walker back to his desk, where he gets no Christmas "break*
Have you guys heard about this? Paul McCartney subbing for Kurt Cobain as Nirvana reunites to play Sandy benefit. "I didn't really know who they were," the 70-year-old Beatles legend told The Sun. "They are saying how good it is to be back together. I said, 'Whoa? You guys haven't played together for all that time? And somebody whispered to me, 'That's Nirvana. You're Kurt.' I couldn't believe it." http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...urt-cobain-nirvana-reunites-article-1.1218363 What the??
Love your icon Seymour And I agree with you about Walking Dead.. though I strongly feel a lot of people are making it sound MUCH better than it actually is. People say it's GOTY material and stuff.. I say no fucking way. Still fun to play through, once.
I have no idea how well that will go over. McCartney is a drastically different vocalist from Cobain.
I laughed way too hard at this... because it's true. We have to go in on Christmas Eve.... to receive instructions on how to operate our new work iPhones/iPads. Really? Just give us the fucking day off and the instructions, we'll figure them out just fine.
I don't think they're actually playing Nirvana songs. Maybe they are, but that would greatly surprise me.
Man, just took a stroll over to the baseball board (haven't been there in a while). That is the last place you'd want to go if you wanted to just sit around and bullshit and make stupid threads semi-related to baseball. Unreal. Some dude made a "spammy" thread saying the Padres would win the Series next year and it got locked. What a douchy, elitist board.

WOW but wait for a sale to purchase it!
I received a sample of this when i purchased some products at Estee Lauder and i found that it was the perfect moisturiser for me and acted like a primer.
I personally don't have large pores so the intentional use of the product wasn't directed for my skin. However, i put this on prior to my makeup just as a moisturiser and left my skin smooth, matte and filled in my small pores so i didn't bother with the primer. This product actually concealed my major concern which is redness coming through my foundation 6 hours later from applying. I love this product so much and a little goes a long way however i wouldn't consider repurchasing it until the price has dropped down as i find $60 would be a somewhat more reasonable price rather than $120+
I found the best way to use it is after exfoliating or your shower as it melts in better when skin is warm.
Ideal for
Any skin type.

minimise pores
Estée Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher is my favourite serum, especially in summer.
After a thin application of this product, quick absorption and it gives a instant silky smoothness on my skin. As a primer, it provides a smoother surface which makes the application of makeup easier.
What's amazing is that the small pores on my cheeks have significantly reduced in size. I don't think any product can completely make pores disappear, but if you want less obvious, shrunken pores, the new Idealist definitely delivers.

Silky Skin
This might just be my favourite of the Estee Lauder serums (and I've tried them all). It just feels so lovely on the skin. It has a velvety feel and smoothes on a bit like a primer. It sinks in fast to leave my skin super silky with a subtle powdery yet hydrating finish. This is defintely the most moisturising of all the serums with a nice citrus scent. I'm not sure that it makes a difference to my pores per se but it does create a nice surface for makeup and makes it look more flawelss. Overall, this is a product that really does wonders for my dry skin and I would certainly purchase this in the future.
Dry skin.

didn't help at all. make skin break out.
i dont have much to say about this product apart from the fact that i didnt like it one bit. i used it for 3 weeks and didnt notice any change. it felt too oily and didnt help with pores at all.

Fantastic as a primer for velvety smooth skin
the light texture of the serum, which absorbs very easily into my skin. The serum was not too overpowering and left my skin with a very light, citrus fragrance. The pump distributed perfect amounts of serum at a time, and you don't need to use too much

Silky and soft finish!
I don't actually have very large pores over most of my face, so I can't attest to the pore minimising properties of this product, but I tried a sample of it and the next day my skin was glowing and dewy and I immediately picked up a full size bottle!
I usually use it before bed, some time before my moisturiser, because I feel like that's the best time for my skin to absorb the product, essentially like a serum.
I do love how moisturising it is, without being oily. I use two squirts to easily cover my whole face and it leaves my skin feeling very smooth and silky to the touch and very comfortable.
I also like that it's suitable for the eye area (according to the girl at the Estee Lauder counter) and it is a very light and smooth product so I feel comfortable applying it around my eye area as well.
However, other than having my skin feel smoother after application, I haven't really felt it do anything significant to my skin (good or bad, that is). Judging from how much of the bottle I've used now, I think the 50ml bottle could easily last at least 6 months, but at the high price tag it comes with, I'll have to rethink before purchasing a second bottle.

nothing special
the texture is really nice and smooths out the surface of the skin but did not notice any pore minimising ! doesn't do what it's meant to but great as a primer and/or moisturiser

Pretty good
I haevnt noticed anything in the pore minimising department but i actually use this as a primer and its wonderful for oil control and smoothing over fine lines and unevenness.
lovely product for that i suppose.

Smooth canvas
I have a small 7ml bottle of this and have been using it for about a week. It does leave the skin more matte, smooth and leaves a silky velvety finish. My pores aren't that big so after application, my face does look quite smooth and makes foundation application afterwards look flawless. However there are other similar products out there which achieve the same results so I probably wouldn't buy this given it is quite expensive. I think this would be suitable for most skin types including oily/combination.
Rating: Sep 13, 2011 9:46pm
Not useful for large pores - noticed no minimizing effect after nearly 10 months. Applies nicely but is very expensive.

Preparing the Communist Party of India (Marxist)'s strategy for the second part of the budget session, when the Finance Bill and other important legislative agenda will come up for discussion, will be on top of the agenda at the party's two-day Polit Bureau meeting beginning here on Thursday.
The party already expressed concern over the inability of the government to take steps to control the prices of essential commodities and is planning a major countrywide campaign against it on April 8 through picketing and programme to court arrest.
The Lok Sabha will resume its sittings on April 15 after recess when Standing Committees scrutinise Demands-for Grants for various Ministries.
Moves are afoot to bring cut-motion when the Finance Bill is taken up for consideration and passing in the Lok Sabha as a measure of protest by the Left Parties. Besides this, the Polit Bureau will work out the party tactics on Bills, including the Women's Reservation Bill, the Foreign Universities Bill, the Civil Nuclear Liability Bill and the proposed Food Security measure.
Party general secretary Prakash Karat told The Hindu that besides the issues in Parliament, the meeting would review foreign policy issues, including the American role vis-à-vis the Af-Pak strategy.
Earlier New Delhi expressed concern over the decision of Washington to supply sophisticated weapons to Islamabad. Defence Minister A.K. Antony voiced India's disquiet over the development citing past experience when such supplies were used against India instead of intended deployment in the fight against terror.
Keywords: Communist Party of India (Marxist), Finance Bill, Women's Reservation Bill, Food Security Bill, Prakash Karat

The Criminal Bar: what is the future for eager graduates cramming their way into a tighter knit profession?…. Dola Ajibade
Given the financial climate at the moment it's little wonder that all the chambers evenings directed at GDL students come purely from commercial sets. Legal aid reforms, designed to cut public expenses, have hit the criminal sector hard so when 6 King's Bench Walk (6KBW) decided to hold a chambers evening I had to attend. A brave invitation I thought by 6kbw, which came with a clear warning from David Herling (Director of the GDL), that only those interested in this field should attend.
Truth is none of us were sure if it was the route to pursue, and what were the reasons for 6kBW inviting us? They were not short of applicants i'm sure. However there is no denying the quality of the GDL cohort at City, a course known for its additional edge of academic rigour in an already intensive (and what many would describe as) painful nine months. The result? Some of the best barristers in England and Wales.
On the evening direct questions about the criminal bar were fired (it may have been the wine)...
How much will I earn? Will I ever be able to leave my parents house? Why is so much emphasis placed on academic ability when we are helping people mostly from working class backgrounds? How does someone with a first class honours and from a middle class background relate to criminals from a different background to their own?
Their answers to these very general questions? They stated that, yes the bar does place great emphasis on intellectual ability because historically that is how it has always been. They acknowledged the problem of being able to relate to clients and represent them to the best of your ability when you are not from the same background, especially in criminal law. Yet they stated they did not rule out people with a high 2:2 who demonstrate other qualities, similarly those with a first class honours with no experience do not just walk straight through the doors. Reassuring advice, I thought, useful to a post-graduate, I was won over already.

The campground at Mount Mitchell State Park is small, with only nine tent sites that you have to walk up from a parking lot to get to. Sites are among the trees that invariably sway overhead with the rushing sound of wind. The shot below looks down on an empty site from the ridge above, near the bathroom.
"We" being these tourists:
Mount Mitchell Camping
A closer shot of me getting into my tent gives you a better idea of the size of the tent pads.
As it is more days than not, Mount Mitchell was in the clouds the October weekend we were there. From near the restaurant, we watched the clouds gather around the peaks above and below. The stripped trees show the effects of air pollution and damaging insects.
In a moment of clarity, below, the highest peak east of the Mississippi and its the observation tower are visible in the distance.
What you want to do at Mitchell is get down off the mountain into the Pisgah Forest. I have a look at our trip out Commissary Ridge on a separate Pisgah Forest camping page. We actually camped beside the road outside the park the night we arrived late, then in the Pisgah for a night before returning and spending a night in the park.

One Year On From the Keystone Pipeline Rejection
A year ago, President Obama, under pressure from a deadline set by House Republicans, rejected the application of TransCanada for the Keystone XL pipeline that would pump Canadian crude from Alberta to the American gulf coast.
With a new decision on the Keystone XL pipeline due in the first quarter of 2013, according to the State Department — a date that may slip according to some observers — it is useful to assess the actual effects of not building the Keystone pipeline on Canadian oil production and North American energy markets.
(Read More: Obama Under Increasing Pressure to Make Keystone XL Decision)
Stopping the Keystone XL pipeline was touted as a big win for environmentalists, who had set their sights on Keystone XL as a big target. As Bill McKibben often quotes NASA scientist James Hansen, using the entire resources of Canada's oil sands would mean "game over for the climate." Once complete, Keystone XL would have a capacity of up to 1.1 million barrels of diluted bitumen per day – 54% of Canada's total bitumen production (note: bitumen is the crude product from production in the oil sands). So, for groups like McKibben's 350.org, the goal of stopping the pipeline was to slow and eventually stop the exploitation of Canada's tar sands. The thought was that if environmentalists could stop the building of the Keystone pipeline, they could prevent Canada from having a market for their oil, and thereby production would slow and eventually stop.
Oil Sands Production Continues to Increase
In 2011, I wrote that "the balance of evidence shows that permitting the Keystone XL pipeline will not be good for American energy security, economic stability, or environmental sustainability." For me, the risks of climate change are a clear threat to national security, and deserve action sooner rather than later. It should be clear that we can either pay now to reduce emissions, or we pay later in the form of dangerous weather, rising seas, and threats to our security. One year later, however, the evidence so far shows that production in the oil sands continue to increase, while the blocking of Keystone has led to some very unpredictable outcomes.
A look at Canada's oil production numbers shows that, by stopping the expansion of Keystone, environmentalists have not been successful in reducing production of Canadian oil in general, or the heavy bitumen that is produced from the oil sands specifically. From December of 2011 until December of 2012, total Canadian production rose from 3.3 million barrels per day (mbd) to 3.6 mbd, a 9% increase, while production of bitumen rose from 1.76 mbd to 2.05 mbd, a 16% increase (all production numbers from the Canadian National Energy Board).
The lack of pipeline infrastructure has left this increased production with few outlets to global markets. That has left Canadian companies and politicians to begin to court Asian markets by touting the building of the Northern Gateway pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific in British Columbia, where the bitumen could then be shipped on to China, Japan, or any other oil consumer. That pipeline will see many of the same opponents that the Keystone XL has, plus Canada's indigenous 'First Nations' across whose land the pipeline will cross, but this is an opportunity that would not likely have been considered so rapidly had Keystone been approved.
Oil by Rail
As a shorter term outlet for oil, the Port of Churchill, Canada's only Arctic seaport, is actively exploring options for exporting oil via the Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean. The first shipment could go as early as July 2013, ironically into an Arctic made ice-free by climate change. Those who thought that a spill in Nebraska would be disastrous surely would not be happy that blocking the pipeline action has resulted in an increase in the possibility of a spill in Hudson Bay or the Arctic Ocean.
(Read More: Canada's Ambassador Bets 6-Pack on Keystone Pipeline Approval)
Perhaps the most visible effect of the blocking of Keystone is that, over the last year, the volume of crude shipped by the two major Canadian rail lines, the Canadian Northern (CN) and the Canada Pacific (CP), has increased from 11.4 million barrels in 2011 to an expected volume of 64 million barrels by the end of this year, a shocking 560% annual increase. These 'virtual pipelines' may actually be more appealing to oil producers and refiners because of the flexibility that it affords them: while a pipeline can only send a certain amount to a predetermined place, oil companies can change rail orders to meet market fluctuations.
Unintended Consequences?
So far, then, the goals of environmentalists have not been met: production from the Alberta oil sands is up over the past year, and appears to be accelerating, while other outlets for the accelerating production mean that, if Americans won't buy it, then Canad will sell to others.
Even worse, blocking Keystone may actually have some counterproductive effects.
The shipping of oil by rail may be much more environmentally dangerous than via pipeline. A study by the Manhattan Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, found that transporting oil by rail or road is far more dangerous and environmentally unfriendly than transporting it by pipeline. A spokesman for the Sierra Club has called oil by rail "an accident waiting to happen."
One thing that the blocking of Keystone has succeeded in is 'stranding' much of the oil in the center of North America – there is simply not enough infrastructure to get this glut of oil to the coasts and onward to world markets. This lock-in of most Canadian oil means that the Canadian benchmark oil sells at a much lower price than it would otherwise receive. As of early January, Western Canada Select was worth about $41 per barrel less than the US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI). Partly that price difference can be explained by inferior quality, but mostly it is because of the glut of oil in the region. It is discounted versus WTI, which itself sells at a discount of about $18-20 below the international benchmark Brent crude price. If this market imbalance were persistent, then it could signal that the environmentalists' plan was working; low prices would eventually lead to less production.
However, ultimately, oil is like water. You can put a dam in its way, but it still wants to flow downhill – to markets. So long as there is a demand for the crude oil that comes from Canada's tar sands, companies will find a way to sell it.
This proves that the only effective way to address climate change will be to reduce demand. Market-based mechanisms like a carbon tax or a cap and trade scheme would reduce demand for oil, while also encouraging companies to use the most efficient and safest ways to transport it. In light of their failure to bring such a mechanism to pass in Congress, the environmental community embraced opposition to Keystone as a second-best solution. One year on, the consequences show that this has not had the desired effect and has led to unforeseen consequences.
By Robert Rapier on January 21, 2013 at 1:58 am
"One year later, however, the evidence so far shows that production in the oil sands continue to increase, while the blocking of Keystone has led to some very unpredictable outcomes."
I would argue that those outcomes were pretty predictable. In face, I predicted some of them.
By Tap Management, Inc. on February 22, 2013 at 4:12 pm
According to a new report by Harris Interactive, roughly 69 percent of Americans support the Keystone XL project and 83 percent believe the pipeline would enhance U.S. energy security.
Furthermore, 92 percent of respondents agreed that the job creation expectations of the Keystone XL were very important factors in their consideration of the project.
Nevertheless, the pipeline remains unapproved, and is in its fifth year of review by U.S. officials.
