Follow the Money to Real Growth, Not Tax Breaks
This week, David Cay Johnston published a thought experiment titled "How Would You Invest $1 Billion Under the Current Tax System?" Its premise is that if we use tax policy to boost demand, we can find more profitable ways to invest. It's a premise DailyFinance columnist and venture capitalist Peter Cohen rejects.

Talk:Yin–Yang Release
Back to page
this wiki
All characters?
Is Yin-Yang Release going to be applied to all characters' infobox? Yin-Yang release is the core basis on all ninjutsu, particularly non-elemental jutsu. As Fukasaku explained, spiritual and physical energy are combined to mold chakra. Kakashi and Yamato also referred to Shikamaru's and Ino's jutsus to be Yin-Yang jutsus.
Oh, and yeah, I'm new here so I'm trying to learn how all this works. —This unsigned comment was made by UltimateDeadpool (talk • contribs) .
It can be added, but eventually. We know they're based on Yin and Yang, but we don't know the exact mechanics behind it. For that reason, the only characters so far which will have Yin Release, Yang Release and Yin-Yang Release added to their infoboxes are Rinnegan users, and Izanagi users. Oh, when commenting on talk pages, sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:20, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
Isn't it kinda redundant to attribute Yin and Yang individually to characters? Based on our knowledge, they don't do anything individually, they have to be used together to use ninjutsu or Izanagi.
UltimateDeadpool (talk) 02:24, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
From what we know Yin-Yang Release is created by merging Yin Release and Yang Release. Izanagi was explicitly said to be Yin-Yang Release. We don't know other examples of Yin-Yang Release specifically, and we don't know how the other jutsu implied are exactly. Are they Yin-Yang as well, are they just Yin or just Yang? Because we can't say that, we can't add those natures without speculating. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:49, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
- If Yin-Yang Release is to be attributed to all ninjutsu, then it would be considered a General Skill, and those aren't listed in infoboxes unless they are considered a specialty.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 02:51, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
Here's the thing though, Fukasaku explained that ninjutsu is created by using spiritual and physical energy together, which creates chakra. He explained this while explaining how to use senjutsu, which adds natural energy to your spiritual and physical energy, and the three create sage chakra. In addition, as I already said, when Naruto asked about Shikamaru's and Ino's jutsus when Kakashi and Yamato were explaining the chakra natures, they said that they'd explain Yin-Yang release later. So there's no question to me that all jutsus use Yin-Yang release, and that is undoubtedly the 6th chakra nature that Jiraiya talked about: Katon, Fuuton, Raiton, Doton, Suiton, and Onmyoton.
Izanagi confuses me, this new explanation that we got mostly contradicts the explanation we got before during the Sasuke and Danzo fight, and honestly doesn't sound any different from ninjutsu other than being more of a "magic wand no jutsu." Izanagi, despite being Yin-Yang release like any other jutsu, is just a very high-level doujutsu/kekkei genkai that can only be done with specific requirements.
And I can understand the "General Skill" argument. Although I'm a little more O.C.D., lol.
UltimateDeadpool (talk) 19:57, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
It is a bit confusing, but it seems like Izanagi is just a high level technique that requires BOTH great control over manipulating yin/yang and it's a kekkei genkai-- a mention that seems missing from the the description. It was mentioned in a few places that you need both the powers of senju and Uchiha to use it, so it's not simply yin-yang manipulation. That is more like you were saying, simply the basis for all jutsu, and more specifiically the non-elemental types. I know you want to limit it to things thathave been stated so there are references, but even then you should be able to change this article and the others to reflect that even though we don't know how they work, some jutsu like shadow manipulation fall under this catagory and that Izanagi is a high level tech that can only be used by those with the combined powers, an advanced kekkei genkai. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:00, October 22, 2010 (UTC) Miah
It would be good to add about Banbutsu Sōzō there? talk|contribuitions 17:13, May 5, 2011
If yamato specifically states "the manipulation of Yin and Yang is the source of non-elemental jutsu such as the Shadow Imitation Technique, Multi-Size Technique, medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, etc", and nature releases are a form of ninjitsu, then how is Yin & Yang manipulation a "nature type"? Genjutsu is not a sub-form of ninjutsu, so yin & yang manipulation cannot be a "nature manipulation" ninjutsu. Yin Release, Yang Release, and Yin-Yang Release should all be removed. They are not nature types, nor nature transformations, the quote even outright says "non-elemental jutsu". No offense, but I think ya'll put wayyyyy too much speculation into this to actually create pages for these 3 things. SkyFlicker (talk) 17:29, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
- All elements are nature transformations, but not all nature transformations are elements. The word 'element' is actually never used in the series, only the words 'nature' and 'nature transformations'. Yin and Yang have been called such, as well. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 17:33, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
I'm unable to tell, is the article saying that Yin-Yang Release forms the basis of all ninjutsu, or physical energy + spiritual energy? If it's the former, does anyone have a link to where that is stated? Skitts (talk) 09:58, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
are not yin/yang and spiritual/physical energy the same thing ? --Elveonora (talk) 16:44, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
Not to my knowledge, since Yin and Yang are nature transformations while physical energy and spiritual energy are the components of chakra. Skitts (talk) 17:36, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
nothing to indicate they are different, most techniques transform chakra into something --126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:49, January 28, 2012 (UTC)
Anyone else no where that bit comes from? Skitts (talk) 19:31, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
To mold chakra you have to combine spiritual and physical energy. --Elveonora (talk) 01:01, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
@Turry. If you read the discussion above this one you'll see that the info came from Fukasaku's explanation of Senjutsu to Naruto I also think Sakura(or someone) did it a while back in the series albeit she didn't use Yin and Yang but spiritual and physical energies. While I don't think the two sets are different especially with the explanation of Creation of All Things. With that I'd assume that's what the article is supposed to be saying however they don't used them in their raw forms but in the form of chakra to perform techniques.--Cerez365™ 01:09, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
Woop. I finally got an explanation. Gracias. :-)
- Edit- Hm, in the translation I just read, Fukasaku only mentioned physical and spiritual energy, not Yin or Yang in his Senjutsu explanation. I'll keep an eye out for Sakura's. Skitts (talk) 20:47, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
It's the same thing. --Elveonora (talk) 22:07, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
But they're not. Spiritual and Physical are what make up chakra, Yin and Yang are Nature transformations. Skitts (talk) 22:09, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
Yin and Yang "release" are nature transformations. --Elveonora (talk) 03:56, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
In'yoton or onmyoton?
In the anime Tobi calls it in'yoton, which one is it?--Red-kun (talk) 17:52, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
- For me it also sound like this.--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:55, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
bloodline limit
Yin Release/Yang Release are likely something anyone can learn and use (non-elemental techniques), but isn't "Yin-Yang" unique? It's 2 "releases" used at once, just like Earth-Water=Wood etc. and since "Sharingan/Rinnegan, both Uchiha&Senju, So6p, Ten-Tails" and related terms are being spelled in relation to this constantly, I'd conclude as such.--Elveonora (talk) 01:03, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
- The fact we don't know how each of them is made individually makes all of that speculation, and thus pointless to discuss until more information is disclosed. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:16, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
Zetsu Creation Technique
I think we should make a new jutsu page for the technique used in the creation of the White Zetsu Army and Black Zetsu. If not both, atleast Black Zetsu. We know that the jutsu used Wood Relese and Yin-Yang Release to give it life as well as transfer the user's will and Madara teaches the techniques to Obito(And it referred to as a technique). Skarrj (talk) 09:36, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Ah so you went ahead yeah and created one without waiting for a discussion. Why even bother to have this here? The White Zetsu Army clones are nothing more than creations that came about because Hashirama's cells are being fed chakra. Madara himself said they were nothing more than severely weakened clones of the First. They're about the same as the faces jutting out of Madara's chest and Danzō's arm. Blaxk Zetsu was also created through what I'm assuming is Yin-Yang Release which is still speculation at this point. Madara did say he was going to teach Obito Yin-Yang techniques, but he didn't say "I'm going to teach you Yin-Yang Release so you can create the White Zetsu Army clones" The creation of those clones was as much a natural occurrence as probably growing tomatoes.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:48, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not 100% sure either way. Unless some translation was severely messed up, I do recall some of Madara's parting words with Obito saying something about Zetsu being created through Yin-Yang Release, and not just Black Zetsu. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:09, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
All elements
Would users with Yin, Yang and Yin-Yang Release not have access to all five elements as well?--Reliops (talk) 16:37, May 26, 2013 (UTC)Reliops
Some research
I'm trying to figure out the mechanics behind all this and have a question regarding this sentence: "The Sage of the Six Paths had such a mastery over the Yin–Yang Release that he used Yin to make his dreams take form, and then used Yang to make his fantasies real. He could even make them come to life." - When was that said? Seelentau 愛議 17:54, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- I can honestly say I haven't seen, or at least recall seeing, anything around the lines of that information ever stated in the manga or the anime. It should either be removed as speculation or sourced... if there is a source that is. Kromatz (talk) 18:02, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Chapter 510, Obito says that to Konan. --kiadony --talk to me-- 18:12, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- I thought so, too. But no, he doesn't. Seelentau 愛議 18:16, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Chapter 510, Obito says that to Konan. --kiadony --talk to me-- 18:12, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
So the sentence in the article is a mistranslation of that part then :/ I don't see any other options. --kiadony --talk to me-- 18:18, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
That's pretty much it - it's a mistranslation. We can easily correctly translate the information though. There are options. Kromatz (talk) 18:35, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Fixed. KotoSenju (OldUser:JaZZBaND)-Talk-Contributions 18:49, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, the translation we had of that chapter can be found at Forum:New Year's Fact Checking. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:55, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Number Of Database Connections
From PostgreSQL wiki
You can often support more concurrent users by reducing the number of database connections and using some form of connection pooling. This page attempts to explain why that is.
A database server only has so many resources, and if you don't have enough connections active to use all of them, your throughput will generally improve by using more connections. Once all of the resources are in use, you won't push any more through by having more connections competing for the resources. In fact, throughput starts to fall off due to the overhead from that contention.
The Need for an External Pool
If you look at any graph of PostgreSQL performance with number of connections on the x axis and tps on the y access (with nothing else changing), you will see performance climb as connections rise until you hit saturation, and then you have a "knee" after which performance falls off. A lot of work has been done for version 9.3 to push that knee to the right and make the fall-off more gradual, but the issue is intrinsic -- without a built-in connection pool or at least an admission control policy, the knee and subsequent performance degradation will always be there.
The decision not to include a connection pooler inside the PostgreSQL server itself has been taken deliberately and with good reason. In many cases you will get better performance if the connection pooler is running on a separate machine. Also, you can get improved functionality by incorporating a connection pool into client-side software. Many frameworks do the pooling in a process running on the the database server machine (to minimize latency effects from the database protocol) and accept high-level requests to run a certain function with a given set of parameters, with the entire function running as a single database transaction. This ensures that network latency or connection failures can't cause a transaction to hang while waiting for something from the network, and provides a simple way to retry any database transaction which rolls back with a serialization failure (SQLSTATE 40001 or 40P01).
Since a pooler built in to the database engine would be inferior (for the above reasons), the community has decided not to go that route.
Reasons for Performance Reduction Past the "Knee"
There are a number of independent reasons that performance falls off with more database connections.
- Context switches. The processor is interrupted from working on one query and has to switch to another, which involves saving state and restoring state. While the core is busy swapping states it is not doing any useful work on any query.
- Cache line contention. One query is likely to be working on a particular area of RAM, and the query taking its place is likely to be working on a different area; causing data cached on the CPU chip to be discarded, only to need to be reloaded to continue the other query. Besides that the various processes will be grabbing control of cache lines from each other, causing stalls. (Humorous note, in one oprofile run of a heavily contended load, 10% of CPU time was attributed to a 1-byte noop; analysis showed that it was because it needed to wait on a cache line for the following machine code operation.)
- Lock contention. This happens at various levels: spinlocks, LW locks, and all the locks that show up in pg_locks. As more processes compete for the spinlocks (which protect LW locks acquisition and release, which in turn protect the heavyweight and predicate lock acquisition and release) they account for a high percentage of CPU time used.
- RAM usage. The work_mem setting can have a big impact on performance. If it is too small, hash tables and sorts spill to disk, bitmap heap scans become "lossy", requiring more work on each page access, etc. So you want it to be big. But work_mem RAM can be allocated for each node of a query on each connection, all at the same time. So a big work_mem with a large number of connections can cause a lot of the OS cache to be periodically discarded, forcing more accesses to disk; or it could even put the system into swapping. So the more connections you have, the more you need to make a choice between slow plans and trashing cache/swapping.
- Disk access. If you do need to go to disk for random access, a large number of connections can tend to force more tables and indexes to be accessed at the same time, causing heavier seeking all over the disk.
- General scaling. Some internal structures allocated based on max_connections scale at O(N^2) or O(N*log(N)). Some types of overhead which are negligible at a lower number of connections can become significant with a large number of connections.
How to Find Optimal Database Connection Pool Size
A formula which has held up pretty well across a lot of benchmarks for years is that for optimal throughput the number of active connections should be somewhere near ((core_count * 2) + effective_spindle_count). Core count should not include HT threads, even if hyperthreading is enabled. Effective spindle count is zero if the active data set is fully cached, and approaches the actual number of spindles as the cache hit rate falls. Benchmarks of WIP for version 9.3 suggest that this formula will need adjustment on that release. There hasn't been any analysis so far regarding how well the formula works with SDDs.
However you choose a starting point for a connection pool size, you should probably try incremental adjustments with your production system to find the actual "sweet spot" for your hardware and workload.

I must admit this by far is the best video so far of your series. I must devulge I am a Mason. I do feel as if you have a rather limited understanding of masons and should do a more open minded search for the truth about our orders as they are not all under one veil nor is there any high authority which controls the order as many have assumed. I would like to express that I have a great deal of respect for Islam as I have studied the the religion and find it to herold truth in its teachings. May peace be with you.

I must agree, the truth is one...although you are a mason and have great respect for Islam, your teachings are ruining the world and sending everyone into wrongdoing. What has been expressed in this series is not, and I quote, "a rather limited understanding of masons", it is a full understood statement of the tricks and devious plans that your cult follow and continue to publish in order to successfully complete your project of world domination, which I am sorry will not occur because...ISLAM WILL CLAIM VICTORY WITH THE HELP OF THE ONE AND ONLY GOD...ALLAH!!!

the masons are not the agenda, allahs victory does not belong to everyone who claims to serve the will of god, yaweh, allah, they are the same.
the victory is for all peoples of all the world who are living the nation of god in their daily practice.
doh. and not all masons are lost, but worshiping on the wrong day still gives that power over, so accidents still have consequences.
a zealous soul saying so much with such vigor, i hope that zealousy is tempered with humility and spiritual serenity that you harm neither yourself nor another in your doing so.

Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kaiouga) is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the Version Mascot of Pokémon Sapphire.
It seems to resemble something like a big dark blue whale or orca. It has two big fins or "wings", each ending with four square-shaped "claws." It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two spots. It has markings on its wings which sort of resemble the letter A with a circle on the top. It also has two small dorsal fins on its back with two stripes running horizontally below the fins. The tail seems tattered with four trails, the inner smaller than the outer. It also has a mouth full of rarely seen sharp triangular teeth.
In the Anime
Kyogre first appeared in the anime in Episode 373: Gaining Groudon!, and Episode 374: The Scuffle Of Legends!, debuting with Groudon as well. Team Magma and Team Aqua were competing to gain both legendaries. Team Aqua, as it turned out, tricked Magma leader, Maxie by taking Kyogre even after they had Groudon. Then soon things started to get hectic when Archie, Team Aqua leader, seized Kyogre from Team Magma, but it got out of control and possessed him. Then it started to become chaotic as Kyogre was rampaging throughout the ocean. Until Ash's Pikachu, taken over by the Blue Orb, shocked Groudon's cargo container and released Groudon to fight against Kyogre. It turned out that Groudon was the nice one, using the Blue Orb to make Pikachu release it to help Ash and friends.
However, Kyogre is not an evil Pokémon. It saves Ash and Pikachu from drowning in the sea by taking Ash upon its back and it rises to the surface. After that the orbs were placed into rest and all was well again. Kyogre also made an appearance in the ninth Pokémon movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea where it was kind of like Manaphy's "steed."
Kyogre does not evolve.
Game Info
Obtainable Versions
Kyogre is obtainable in Sapphire, Emerald, and HeartGold through normal means. Trading a Kyogre into SoulSilver and showing both it and Groudon to Professor Oak allows the player to catch Rayquaza.

Pokédex Entries
- Kyogre is the only non-Ice type Pokémon to learn Sheer Cold.
- Despite it saying in the game that Kyogre flew away when defeating it, it isn't Flying-type.
- Kyogre and Mantine have the highest Special Defense of all Water type Pokémon.
- Kyogre and Palkia have the highest Special Attack of all Water type Pokémon.
- Before Generation 5, Kyogre was the only Pokémon to have the Drizzle ability.
- Most of the legendary trios and duos look somewhat alike or at least have the same body class. However, all members of the Weather trio are completely different to one another. Kyogre is based on an orca, Groudon is based on a theropod dinosaur, whilst Rayquaza is based on a Chinese dragon.
- Kyogre's moveset has an advantage over all other members of its trio. Water attacks on Groudon and Ice attacks on Rayquaza are super-effective.
- It is highly likely that Kyogre is based on the Leviathan from Judeo-Christian religion.
Name Origin
Kyogre's name originates from Kai, which means ocean. Ogres are mythical beasts, but it's unlikely the reason Kyogre's name ends in ogre. It's probably because it's a big beast that which the suffix ogre makes sense. Without the "Ogre" part, it spells out Kaiō, which means King of the Sea. Also, Kaiō is the first four letters of the word Kaiōsei which means Neptune, the Roman version of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon.

Ameda Purely Yours Ultra Breast Pump
- Product Review (submitted on August 20, 2009):
I love my Purely Yours Ultra! This pump is designed for multiple users and I plan on handing it down to my sister when I finish breastfeeding. The Ultra comes with 3 different breast flanges so it will fit any sized girl and with the hygieni kit you have the ability to share your pump with other mothers. The motor was a little noisy but I expected it to be much louder based on other reviews.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I wanted everyone to know.

What is Microdata?
This article or section is in the process of an expansion or major restructuring. You are welcome to assist in its construction by editing it as well. If this article or section has not been edited in several days, please remove this template.
This article was last edited by P.Alex (talk| contribs) 2 years ago. (Purge)
Microdata is a way of adding contextual information to your website and its contents, allowing search engines to better understand the information you provide them with.
Contextual information allows search engines to understand the meaning of the information presented on your website, which allows it to better answer more verbose 'natural language' queries where an understanding of the meaning helps to interpret the most relevant content to be displayed.
Microdata can be used to explain just about anything you would ever want to explain, and there are more 'schemas' being added on a regular basis. There are several vocabularies in existence, however at present the system favoured by search engines is that of schema.org.
Take a look at this short video to see how search engines use the Microdata information.
How do I use Microdata?
Microdata can be added to Joomla! using template overrides or with the use of plugins which allow you to insert microdata into specific resources.
As of Joomla! 3.2 there is a library within Joomla! which allows developers to pull in microdata without needing to format it correctly. The following resources are available by the author of the microdata library introducing the library and how to use it:
- http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue-oct-2013/item/1551-what-about-microdata-rich-snippets-in-joomla
- https://gist.github.com/PAlexcom/6339949
JMicrodata (since version 3.2) is a library to implement http://schema.org microdata semantics.
The JMicrodata class uses the types.json file which contains all available http://schema.org Types and Properties.
The types.json was automatically created with the https://github.com/PAlexcom/Spider4Schema web crawler.
For some usage examples you can see the library test file https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/master/tests/unit/suites/libraries/joomla/microdata/JMicrodataTest.php
For a more detailed documentation of the library see the gist created by the author:
How to use the JMicrodata library?
First of all you need to make an instance of the library in your extensions:
$microdata = new JMicrodata('Article');
So let's suppose that we have the following string which is part of your article and the current scope is Article:
echo 'Written by Alexandru Pruteanu';
And the microdata you need to add is an author property:

- "You want me to have a god? Fine. King Stannis is my god. He raised me up and blessed me with his trust. He gave you a future I could never have imagined. You know how to read, you'll be a knight some day. You think a fire-god commanded all of that? It was Stannis, only Stannis."
- ―Davos Seaworth to his son, Matthos.
Davos Seaworth is a major character in the second and third seasons. He is played by starring cast member Liam Cunningham and debuts in "The North Remembers". Ser Davos Seaworth is a landed knight and a former smuggler in the service of Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone and claimant to the Iron Throne.
Ser Davos Seaworth is a landed knight and a reformed smuggler. His ship used to ply the Narrow Sea, smuggling goods from the Free Cities into the Seven Kingdoms and back again.
He was born in Flea Bottom, the poorest slum in King's Landing. His father was a poor crabber. He became a sailor while very young to escape the slums and has spent most of his life sailing the Narrow Sea. His black-sailed ship became infamous for sneaking into harbors in the dead of night whilst avoiding detection.[1]During Robert's Rebellion, Davos aided Stannis Baratheon while he was besieged in Storm's End by delivering smuggled onions and other foodstuffs into the castle. The supplies helped Stannis' forces survive until the end of the war. For this service, Stannis rewarded Davos by bestowing him with knighthood and lands. He chose the name "Seaworth" for his family's new noble House, as a reference to his smuggling past. Highborn members of older noble Houses disparagingly Davos called "the Onion Knight" for his actions, but he has embraced this title proudly took an onion for a sigil and sewed it onto his ship's sails.[2]
Stannis also cut off four finger tips from Davos' right hand as punishment for his smuggling crimes. Thieves in Westeros are often sentenced to having fingers or the whole hand removed, but Stannis only took the fingertips of his less used hand (his right, as Davos is left-handed). Davos submitted to this punishment willingly, judging it a fair exchange in return for improving his family's future prospects. He also mentions in a featurette that he submitted to the punishment for the sake of sheer justice, saying he " avoided punishment for too long". He wears his severed finger bones in a pouch about his neck and believes they bring him good luck.[2][3]
Davos is one of Stannis' most loyal and reliable vassals, but is treated with disdain by some of the other lords of Westeros for his low birth. Stannis himself points out that it was the low-born Davos, and not the high-born lords, who saved the lives of Stannis and his castle garrison. Davos is one of the only men who can (even grudgingly) influence Stannis' decisions, because he values Davos' honest advice above that of noble-born flatterers.[4]
Davos has several sons, including Matthos, who serves with him on his ship and is a scribe for Stannis.[5] He is proud of his son's education but remains illiterate.[6]
Even though Stannis' wife Selyse despises Ser Davos, their daughter Shireen is fond of him and considers him a friend.[7]
Season 2
- Main: Davos Seaworth Season 2
King Stannis Baratheon converts to the religion of the Lord of Light and allows his priestess Melisandre to burn the statues of the Seven outside Dragonstone. Davos is agnostic but watches with interest beside his son Matthos Seaworth, a devoted convert. Maester Cressen attempts to interrupt the ceremony but is casually dismissed by Melisandre. She proclaims Stannis as a prophesied hero when he draws a flaming sword from one of the statues.[8]
Stannis hosts a council and prepares a letter to be distributed throughout the Seven Kingdoms. He has learned from the late Eddard Stark that Joffrey Baratheon is a bastard born of incest between Cersei Lannister and her brother Jaime rather than being Robert Baratheon's true heir. Stannis is therefore the rightful heir and plans to pursue his claims to the throne despite being outnumbered. His younger brother Renly Baratheon has also claimed the throne to Stannis' frustration. Davos urges Stannis to make peace with Renly to fight against Joffrey but Stannis refuses. Cressen attempts to poison Melisandre. Davos sees him put something in the wine cup. Cressen then offers Melisandre that they put aside their disagreement through drinking a toast from the same cup. Davos realizes what he is doing and unsuccessfully tries to stop him. Cressen drinks the poison first to make Melisandre feel safer. She also realizes his plan but drains the rest of the liquid regardless. Cressen quickly bleeds to death while Melisandre stands over his corpse unharmed.[8]
Davos recruits an old friend, the pirate admiral Salladhor Saan, to Stannis' cause, bringing his 30 ships to Dragonstone. Davos and Mathos meet Sallador on them coast and Davos tells him that there are no old pirates, the life will catch up to him eventually. Joining the forces of Stannis Baratheon would give him a safe, legitimate position in the world.[6] Davos accompanies Stannis to a parley with Renly on the coast of the Stormlands. They are unable to reach a compromise and Stannis gives Renly the night to reconsider. Stannis then tasks Davos with smuggling Melisandre into the caves beneath Renly's camp, refusing to say why and ordering Davos not to discuss the mission in the future. Davos delivers Melisandre through the caves, while she asks him if he desires her. She also talks of the battle they face and how she fights for the forces of good. When they arrive at a gate of iron bars, she disrobes, revealing that she is impossibly, heavily pregnant. She births a horrific shadow as Davos cowers in fear.[3]
The Shadow kills Renly and Stannis assumes control of the majority of his forces, save for the Tyrells and their bannermen. With the might of the Stormlords behind him, he plans to move on the capital of King's Landing. Davos urges him to leave Melisandre out of the battle because of rumors that she is controlling him. Stannis is angry with Davos for breaking his orders but accepts his counsel. He names Davos as commander of his fleet for the assault on Blackwater Bay. Davos is concerned that Stannis' bannermen will not respect him because of his origins.[9]
The fleet travels north along the coast. Davos predicts that they are just one day's sail from their destination. Stannis admires Davos' loyalty and honesty and the way he copes with the snobbery of the highborn. He recalls Davos' timely intervention saving many lives in the siege of Storm's End. Stannis' wife nearly died of hunger and the castle was down to eating rats, before Davos managed to sneak through the blockade with his ship full of onions, potatoes, fish, and some beef. Stannis asks Davos to serve as his Hand of the King when he takes the Iron Throne.[10]
The fleet sweeps into Blackwater Bay and the mouth of the Blackwater Rush, and approaches the city at night. The original plan was to destroy the royal fleet and land troops under the city walls. However, the royal fleet proved to be absent, Tyrion Lannister having commanded it to leave the area rather than be sunk. Instead, Tyrion has a ship leaking wildfire directly into the bay. Davos realizes it is a trap too late, and screams at his the ships to sail away from the wildfire. At Tyrion's signal, Commander Bronn of the King's Landing City Watch ignites the wildfire with a flaming arrow. This results in a tremendous explosion that obliterates the vanguard of Stannis' fleet, including Davos' flagship, the Black Betha. The blast kills his son Matthos while Davos is hurled overboard by the shockwave before the blast can reach him.[11]
Season 3
Davos is rescued from an islet he had washed ashore to by Salladhor Saan. Reeling from the death of his son and horrified to learn that Melisandre has begun to burn alive as sacrifices all those who speak out against her, Davos convinces Salladhor to bring him to Dragonstone. He intends to assassinate the Red Woman.
Davos finds Stannis despondent and condemns Melisandre for the human sacrifices and for leading Stannis astray. She reminds that it was he who urged Stannis not to bring her to the battle, and implies that it was the defeat and the massive deaths, including that of Matthos, were his fault. Davos draws a knife on her in a fit of rage, but he is restrained by a pair of guards. Stannis orders him to be put in the dungeon. Davos is dragged out, protesting to Stannis that Melisandre will lead them all to ruin.[12]
Davos is visited by Princess Shireen, who asks him if he's a traitor, to which Davos answers that he is. Shireen, however, insists that he is still her friend, and that she will give him books to help him pass the time. After he reveals to her that he cannot read, she offers to teach him.[7]
Over the next few weeks, Davos's literacy improves dramatically. Stannis finally comes to speak with him and agrees to free him on the condition he never raises a hand to Melisandre again. Davos agrees to this, but warns that he cannot be expected to never speak against her again. Stannis then tells Davos about Gendry, his bastard nephew. Davos correctly surmises that Stannis freed Davos before Gendry's sacrifice to talk him out of it. Stannis insists on taking Davos to Melisandre to observe a ritual involving leeches gorged on Gendry's blood.[13]

Behind the scenes
- The hand that Davos loses fingers from has been changed from his left to his right, a result of actor Liam Cunningham being left-handed.[14]
- Whilst some CGI was used to show the illusion of Davos not having fingertips, most of the time Liam Cunningham just wore a glove and kept his fingers bent inside. Whilst effective and cheap, this did cause him some pain when it came to straightening his fingers out once shooting was finished for the day.[15]
- It has been confirmed that he is one of the favorite characters of producer and showrunner David Benioff.
- On the Season 2 Blu-ray, Davos narrates a Histories & Lore video on "Robert's Rebellion".
In the books
In A Song of Ice and Fire, Davos is described as having brown hair and a brown and gray beard. Davos is married to Marya Seaworth, the daughter of a carpenter, who rarely leaves their home on Cape Wrath. They have seven sons: Dale, Allard, Matthos, Marc, Devan, Stannis and Steffon, the eldest five of whom are also in the service of House Baratheon of Dragonstone. Dale and Allard are captains of their own ships, and Mathos is first mate on Davos' ship Black Betha. The eldest four are killed in the Battle of the Blackwater, while Devan, squire to Stannis, is taken to safety alongside Stannis by Sallador Saan's ships.
At the Battle of Blackwater, Stannis' brother-in-law Ser Imry Florent, not Davos, is put in command of the fleet. Ser Imry makes several tactical errors which Davos advised against, such as engaging the royal fleet in the narrow bay and thus negating their advantage of numbers. Particularly, Ser Imry ignores Davos' warnings to send ahead scouts to see what defenses the city may have prepared, as he is confident in their numerical superiority. This leads to almost the entire fleet being trapped in the city's harbor along with fire ships containing wildfire, which destroys most of Stannis' ships.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already because this seems to have been happening for a long time now, but there are a whole bunch of games that ended months ago, but are still stuck in the Folrart and Training arenas (can't check Crest). Right now I'm in the Folrart arena where it said there were 10 current players, but there are 15 'current' games active.
It's not really that much of a problem, but it's a little disconcerting when I see there's nobody in the folrart arena but when I go in there's a bunch of finished and unfinished games that are lingering long after their players have moved on.

Globe Oil is a petroleum company featured in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Globe Oil is most likely a parody of Gulf Oil as the logos share similar styling.
The company is mostly known to operate a chain of filling stations at Feldspar St, Suffolk, Liberty City and Tinderbox Ave, Tudor, Alderney (combined with car wash and near a Swing set); the latter is featured in GTA Chinatown Wars as one of the many filling station where the player can produce Molotov cocktails.
Other notable landmarks include its offices at Babbage Drive in Berchem, Alderney, and a large refining facility in the Acter Industrial Park. Globe Oil also operates its own website, globeoil.net, in The Lost and Damned.
- Globe Oil sounds like "global," alluding to the vast reach and control of global oil monopolies such as Esso and Gulf Oil, which it's based on.

Prosecutor says evidence doesn't support claim of self-defense in filmmaker's death
Vista New details emerged in court Tuesday as a former economist from the Soviet Union pleaded not guilty to murder in the shooting death of a filmmaker who lived near his Olivenhain property.
Michael Vilkin, 61, is accused of gunning down John Upton, 56, who rose to international attention for his work rescuing Romanian orphans in the 1990s.
In a television interview from jail, Vilkin said the shooting was in self-defense and that Upton had a gun.
Upton was found only with a cellphone — no gun — said Deputy District Attorney David Uyar after Vilkin's arraignment in Vista Superior Court before Judge Martin Staven.
The initial investigation and facts don't support Vilkin's self-defense claim, the prosecutor said.
He said the two men had previously spoken about brush removal and related matters, but the investigation doesn't indicate that they had violent altercations in the past.
Upton's brother and others have said the two had a dispute over Vilkin cutting down trees on his undeveloped property on Lone Jack Road. Upton rented a home next to an access road to Vilkin's 2.6-acre land.
The morning of Thursday's shooting, Vilkin had gone to his property with two workers to clear brush, Uyar said in court.
At some point, Upton came outside, spoke to the workers and offered to move his car out of their way, the prosecutor said.
Upton then turned toward Vilkin, who was up the road.
Vilkin approached and opened fire when he was 10 feet from Upton, striking him in the abdomen and head, Uyar testified.
Upton's girlfriend, Evelyn Zeller, came outside to investigate the gunfire, but Vilkin turned the gun toward her and told her not to come any closer, Uyar said. She put up her hands and ran back into the house.
Vilkin and Zeller placed separate 911 calls, the prosecutor said.
Investigators recovered a .44-caliber long-barrel revolver believed to have been used in the shooting, Uyar said.
"The investigation is ongoing, but there doesn't seem to be any active threat that the victim was making at the time the shots were fired," he said.
Vilkin pleaded not guilty to murder and assault with a deadly weapon. He faces 35 years to life in prison if convicted of murder and using a gun. He remains jailed in lieu of $5 million bail.
The victim's brother, Michael Upton, was in court Tuesday to watch the arraignment. He has said his brother was fatally shot a few hours after their mother died of cancer.
Vilkin's wife was also in the courtroom. After the hearing, she left with two supporters and did not speak to reporters.

Royal Philharmonic Society Awards announced
- Article Type: | News |
The Royal Philharmonic Society awards were announced last night at a star-studded evening at London's Grosvenor Hotel. Billed as the UK's live classical music awards, the RPS honoured composers, artists, opera companies and authors for their work in promoting classical music in Britain. Among those who received awards, presented to them by Sir Charles Mackerras, were conductor Valery Gergiev for his work with the LSO; Harrison Birtwistle for his chamber work The Tree of Strings, and Janine Jansen, whose 'extraordinary ability to breathe fresh life into core repertory' won her the Instrumental award.
Not all the winners were starry names, however. The Hackney Music Development Trust came away with the Education award for its ambitious new community opera Confucius Says while the Audience Development award celebrated the work of Streetwise Opera, a company set up to bring music to the homeless. It was their opera, My Secret Heart, involving over 100 homeless people, that swayed the judges. And this year's Creative Communication award went to Alex Ross for his popular and engaging book on 20th-century music, The Rest is Noise.
Towards the end of the evening, a new award was announced: the Special Award for Services to British Music, presented posthumously to Richard Hickox. The award, accepted in a moving speech by his wife Pamela Helen Stephen, will from next year be called the RPS Richard Hickox Award and will go, as Sir Charles Mackerras said in his speech, 'to those who share Richard's vision and conviction.'
Other highlights of the evening included the presentation of the Society's Gold Medal to baritone Thomas Quasthoff and the evening's keynote speech, delivered by the Arts Council's chairman Dame Liz Forgan. In her address, she made a compelling case for placing music right at the heart of children's development: 'Give them Birtwistle, Buxtehude, Finzi, Ockeghem and Beethoven as soon as possible I say. Give them the best of contemporary music of all sorts. Live if you can. Give them the classics of world music. And if possible teach them to sing and play them too.'
The ceremony, hosted by BBC Radio 3 presenters Sean Rafferty and Catherine Bott, will be broadcast tonight on Radio 3 at 7pm (6pm GMT).

uh oh!
That looks like something that might happen at my house! HAve fun with the seam ripper :0)

Stefanie
erk!

fun to see you and the 4 year old and everyone else last monday!
But it was helping :o)
Oh goodness!!! This is why I'm nervous every time my 3 yr old niece comes to visit lol
Thanks for the giggle! My kids did the same when they were little, and actually my cat has done this once as well.

You'll always be happy you took that photo!
At least it wasn't the scissors!! ;0)
Well, it could have been worse! -which is the mantra of a mom of little ones I think!
reminded me of a long, long time ago…
when I sewed at the kitchen table, I got up to do something and left the machine on and a very little person crawled under the table and just had the best time playing with the foot pedal….I remember a scream (from me) and a long time getting the machine
Makes me remember Christmas vacation when my two year old grandson managed to get hold of applique scissors during naptime. He cut lots of slits in the front of his shirt, and he cut a hole in the side of his pack-n-play. I was so relieved he hadn't cut himself!
He needs to create! How can you stop him?
Scary. . . Lucky it wasn't a sewn finger. Ouch!
Glad it was the sewing machine and not a scissors that was in use Amy!
Totally giggling. Sorry!
Looks like an improvisational quilter to me. No rules quilting!
Ohh my, I get what your saying I have four kids…..never a dull moment. Most importantly glad the 4 yr old wasn't hurt in the process…thanks for the giggle though!
Oh yes – my son and our dog, who once sat on the foot pedal, have both done that!
Ahhh, memories……
Amy – I understand, I have a 4 year old too, and he thinks it's funny to push the pedal when I'm not watching. Also, keep your scissors out of reach, I've had 2 incidents with Troy cutting up patches.
Could be worse…he could have found the scissors!! :o)
eeek! Better than Kerri's little guy who went to tow with the scissors. Not so easy to recover from that!
Woopsy! Lucky that's an easy fix!
Oh no! :o)
lol! I cant help but laugh bc that's my life! ;)

Kara
Taking an interest in sewing at an early age I see! hehe My son LOVES to "drive" too. Jenn
Is this the same kid involved in the Sharpie Situation? At least this one's reversible!!
Like others, at least it wasn't the scissors. I was quilting a little wall hanging and someone cut a big slit in it. It has some very creative quilting in it now. 🙂 Good luck with the seam ripper!
Looks more like a sewing under the influence job to me. Heh!
You guys make me laugh! Yes, this is the same Sharpie artist and a few days before I found him with the rotary cutter and a recently finished quilt block. Fortunately he wasn't at an angle where he could push hard enough and fortunately he didn't turn it on himself.

This is the first of my kids to exhibit this kind of "creative energy". I think I'm going to have
I got a good chuckle from that one! Thanks, I needed it! LOL
Funny! With my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter around I have to unplug (and sometimes hide!) the power cord from my machine any time I'm not sitting at it!
I have an almost 4 yr old too. Aren't they just fascinated by the sewing machine?? When he's in the room, I can't get anything done b/c he's got to sew his name.
at least they didn't get hurt!
They are showing an interest.
Oops! Hey it could be worse… it could have been a rotary cutter!
My 4 year old tried to "fix" my serger. She had a screwdriver in hand and loosened everything she could in what I swear was 2 minutes. I tried so hard not to yell or cry at her. But I had a good cry later when the professionals said there was nothing more they could do to make it work right after having it for 3 months. Children are embodiments of the chaos theory, albeit cute ones.

Father, I'm praying for these (name them) who are serving in ministries or are on mission for You...
For those who travel or live abroad, supply translators for them
as needed, those who know the language so well they're able
to communicate clearly. Enable those who are trying to learn
the language to quickly become fluent. May they all speak
Your truth boldly to those who will listen, and help those
who hear to understand it with their hearts. Let there be no
misunderstanding. (Acts 4:29, 31; 28:27b; 2:4–6)
Wherever they are, help them to share the gospel not just with
words but with the power and assurance of the Holy Spirit and
with deep conviction. May Your Word be recognized not as the
word of men but as it really is—the Word of God. May those
to whom they witness accept it as Your truth, Your message
to them, and use it to change their lives, for Your Word will
accomplish its purpose. (1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2:13; Isaiah 55:11)
Whenever they have the opportunity to talk to someone,
give them Your words to share. Help them speak the simple
truth of the gospel, helping them not to trust their own words
but in the Spirit who speaks through them, especially if they
encounter people who want to resist or contradict what they're
trying to say. (Ephesians 6:19; Matthew 10:19b–20; Luke 21:15)
In Jesus' name, amen.
