Jazz Setlist, July 26-August 1: Countdown to the Doldrums
Yes, folks, August will soon be upon us, and it's traditionally the slowest month for jazz in D.C. (Hell, it's the slowest month for D.C., period.) But July, in its final week, seems determined to give us the goods.
Thursday, July 26
I've already heard this four-night trio gig at Blues Alley credited to drummer Jimmy Cobb; just as frequently, though, it's been mentioned as guitarist Larry Coryell's gig. If you thought organist Joey DeFrancesco was topping the bill, you would be equally correct. Any one of these greats could pull off the leadership role, but it's really a meeting of equal greats, who are combining to pay tribute to another grouping of equal greats. The trio salutes the music of Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery, two of the most soulful cats of their era, by working through their individual and collective aesthetics. A soul summit, if you will. Cobb, Coryell, and DeFrancesco perform at 8 and 10 p.m. at Blues Alley, 1073 Wisconsin Ave. NW. $35.

Notwithstanding the real elder statesmen, like Buck Hill, Butch Warren, and a few others, the "old guard" of D.C. jazz is the group of musicians that began making their careers here in those oh-so-distant days of the 1990s. You've seen many of them, no doubt many times—Thad Wilson, Reginald Cyntje, Antonio Parker, Keith Killgo, etc. These days they tend to frequent the stage at another '90s staple, HR-57. Among those establishment players is bassist Cheyney Thomas, whose rock-ribbed work is all but a living textbook for the kind of foundation the bass is supposed to provide. Of course, Thomas also likes to provide countermelodies, which is above and beyond the foundation he's supposed to provide, but who's complaining? Especially when they've got the hearty, terrifically deep sound that he puts into them. Thomas is often a utility player in D.C., but recently he's been tearing up the H Street NE stage as the leader of his own straightahead ensemble. That's the Cheyney Thomas Quartet, which performs at 9 p.m. at HR-57, 1007 H St. NE. $12.
Sunday, July 29
Saxophonist Bobby Muncy has been in residency at Twins throughout July, and every week he seems to bring in a different ensemble. For this last outing of the month he's with his free quartet, Kung Fu Bastard, for its second gig ever. In fairness, KFB is really as much a project of guitarist Anthony Pirog, and it's unquestionably a unique ensemble. The combination of tenor saxophone (and sometimes soprano sax and bass clarinet), electric guitar with effects, six-string electric bass, and traps creates a flexible, ever-changing sound that drapes itself over the sharpest and strangest of abstractions (Muncy and Pirog's original, and difficult, compositions). "Kung Fu Bastard is an equation in which there is no constant," I wrote of their debut performance back in May. It's an incredibly exciting project with boundless potential, and having seen one performance, the prospect of another is mouth-watering. Kung Fu Bastard performs at 8 and 10 p.m. at Twins Jazz, 1344 U St. NW. $10.
Tuesday, July 31
Another great local musician is ending his residency this week. Tarus Mateen, the extraordinary bassist who's been July's artist-in-residence at Bohemian Caverns, has made some brilliant music during that tenure. Like most bassists, in the area and in the world at large, Mateen gets relegated in the minds of most observers to the back line, the guy who holds down the rhythm and the chords and whose job is mostly to go unnoticed. See Mateen in a leadership position, and you'll never be able to see him that way again. He's a conceptualist all his own, a rhythmic general who also creates a magnificent shroud of melody to ornament his grooves, and a man who hears no distinctions between musical styles. At the same time, though, Mateen will give you a renewed appreciation for his instrument's supporting role in jazz. Is that a contradiction? Certainly. But you'll never hear a contradiction that's more majestic. Tarus Mateen performs at 7 and 9 p.m. at Bohemian Caverns, 2001 11th St. NW. $10.

I've been trying to use Zsh within my emacs session, without emacs remapping all the Zsh keys. I found ansi-term works pretty well for this but, I'm still having some problems. I was getting lots of junk characters outputted with, I was able to fix it with:
## Setup proper term information for emacs ansi-term mode
[[ $TERM == eterm-color ]] && export TERM=xterm
But everything still doesn't work perfectly. Now I am having trouble with output being drawn offscreen , especially when using something like C-r for search.
Any thoughts. Anyone else have Zsh + Ansi-term working properly?

We are a family with young kids (30 and 7 months) and we want to start to do family rides. We need to buy everything since we didn't climbed on a bike for almost 10 years. My wife heard that kids under 1 year shouldn't be in a cart behind the bike. Yesterday, we went to a bike shop near our place and the guy told us that kids under the age of 1 shouldn't be in a seat behind the bike but in a cart. My wife doesn't like the idea of having our kid behind were you can't see them and low to the ground in case the cart get hit by a car... My wife is a little extreme, she's a nurse... So we would like to know what is the truth in this and if you have personnel experience we would like to hear them.
Also, we need to buy bicycles, what do you suggest? My wife was thinking of an hybrid bicycle because she want something comfortable and she's one of the less flexible person I've ever seen. For me, I was thinking of something more like a road-race bike. What is your opinion on those type of bicycle for the family, would they be good to have a baby seat and/or a cart?
Thank you very much for your help.

Making Your Own Kosher Dills
There's nothing like crunching into a kosher dill pickle in the heat of the summer. If you're a pickle fan, you probably know which local deli has the best ones and which restaurant routinely sets a bowl of them on the table, even before you've even ordered. But have you ever made your own?

Autumn Slaw With Beets, Carrots and Kohlrabi
Most Americans don't know what to do with kohlrabi, a Martian spacecraft–lookalike tuber that offers a crisp nutlike flavor reminiscent of water chestnuts. In Israel, it is a popular addition to salads and pickled vegetable mixes. This is my cousin Michal Brayer's favorite salad, and now one of mine, too.

Terrain Team Ensures Roads are Mapped Out
April 13, 2007
By Sgt. Alexandra Hemmerly-Brown
LOGISTICS SUPPORT AREA ANACONDA, Iraq, April 12, 2007 - Most offices have them, but trailer six in the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)'s compound here, holds a very large one.
Operating out of a small trailer is a four-member contingent of the 70th Engineer Company, (currently attached to the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) ), who have the responsibility of making maps by request of the ever-changing roads of Iraq. And of course, they have a very large plotter printer for printing out their custom-made maps.
"All of our maps are mission-dictated," said Sgt. Byram D. Faulk of Washington, D.C., the terrain team noncommissioned officer-in-charge.
The team creates maps requested by units who need the maps for specific reasons. They may need a map outlining bodies of water, or other terrain features, or they may just need a more current map then they already have, Faulk said.
Many of the maps the team creates are pieced together from scratch using imagery and data gained from other sources. These maps may take a while to generate, but maps made from information already in their system can be finished in a day, Faulk said.
The map-making process has come a long way since its inception. Faulk said soldiers in his military occupational specialty used to draw out sketches of maps by hand, and creating a map from scratch could be a very lengthy process.
"It used to take about a month to make a map," Faulk said, "now it takes a day."
The map-makers now use current map-constructing digital software to piece together their maps, but even their modern equipment can run into glitches.
"It only takes one little error, and it can mess up the whole production," said Pfc. Evan L. Brasseur of West Charleston, Vt., a terrain analyst.
Sometimes equipment breakdowns and waiting for repairs can put them behind in production, Brasseur said, but they are usually able to keep up with demand.
The active-duty contingent said their job is different in Iraq than at home station. Brasseur said they have a slower work pace in the States, and there it is mostly training; while in Iraq, they have real-world demand on a daily basis.
We basically train to deploy," he said. The soldiers seem to enjoy their work, and take pride out of helping their comrades.
"The coolest part about this job is even though I'm not outside the wire, I get to use imagery software every day that shows me what the land looks like," Brasseur said. "Even if I never leave the base, I know what's out there."
Part of the terrain team's job is to analyze the roads and land, identifying areas which may cause potential problems. They use their expertise, along with intelligence information on past problems, to determine what kind of situations are most likely to pose a threat.
"I get gratification when someone comes back and says, 'hey, that map you made really helped us out,'" Faulk said.
The unit creates maps for anyone going off the base who asks for one, regardless if they are military or civilian.
"Being able to support different branches of the military with our products is great," said Pfc. David B. Nicholson of Indianapolis, Ind., also a terrain analyst in the unit. "People seem to be happy with our work, because they keep coming back."
The unit, based out of Baghdad and scattered throughout Iraq, arrived here in September. They are an important part of moving soldiers from one place to another, and continually make a complicated job look easy.
"Some people may think we just push print to make a map," Faulk said. "But that is not the case."

During the Great Depression, financially strapped teams would take just about anything in payment for a ticket. According to a Detroit News account from 1929, one city hockey fan showed up to an exhibition pro game at the old Olympia with five sacks of potatoes in lieu of hard currency, and was given a standing-room admission.
Will you be able to show up with a sack of potatoes and get into an Avalanche game this season at the Pepsi Center? Probably not. But the cost of five sacks of potatoes might be more than the cost of an Avs ticket this season.
All that's needed to complete an Avalanche advertisement right now, for tickets to the 2009-10 season, is a "Crazy Eddie" type to shout, "These prices are I-N-S-A-A-A-N-E!"
Push, pull or tow yourself to the Pepsi Center box office right now, and you can get yourself some steals of a deal. Although single-game tickets don't go on sale until Sept. 12, they're practically giving season tickets away. Some fans have already reported buying season tickets in the lower bowl for an average of only $25 a game. Some have said they're being offered deals in the upper bowl that average out to less than $10 a game if they buy now.
This might still prove to be a cash-for-clunker deal when the final horn sounds on the season, but at least if Avs fans are going to watch another year of bad hockey, they won't lose quite as much cash as last year.
That's if they buy any seats at all, and these low, low prices certainly prove the Avs aren't the take-them- for-granted organization they used to be with the fandom. The Avs of old had 12,500 season tickets sold before opening night, with a waiting list in the thousands to get in on the action.
The Avs now might have about only half that many sold, although precise figures are not forthcoming. But the team ranked 26th in the NHL in average attendance last season, at 15,429 per game, and the offseason has seen the retirement of franchise icon Joe Sakic.
Something tells me the Avs are going to be a little better than people think this season — with the accent on "little." If so, the building won't be a scattershot scene like during the morgue-ish second half of last season.
But until the Avs show they are better than people think, one thing is for certain:
Good seats are still available.

I'm tempted to add a suffix like "Ex" to differentiate methods (with similar signatures) that throw Exceptions from those that don't.
Is there such a convention?
I'm tempted to add a suffix like "Ex" to differentiate methods (with similar signatures) that throw Exceptions from those that don't.
Is there such a convention?
Yes, you name them the same as methods that don't.
Isn't the exception specification enough?
Edit: If you have similar methods that throw/not throw, I recommend the
Don't do that.
This is like asking "is there a naming convention for methods that take two Strings as parameters".
Java has checked exceptions, which means that you need to declare them anyway. So you can easily see if an exception will be thrown, and what type of exception. You cannot even compile code that calls the method without adding exception handling code.
Update: It seems your intention is to have methods that check if a certain condition is true, but you do not want to return just false, but throw an Exception if the condition is not met, so that you can also convey an explanation message (in the Exception). I think a prefix of "assert" or "ensure" makes sense:
Why would you do such a thing in Java? It already has exception specifiers built into the language. The compiler will prevent you from calling a method which explicitly throws an exception without some action being taken on your part to handle or allow the exception to propagate?
Exceptions are part of the method signature in Java, therefore such a naming convention would be redundant.
Hungarian notation for methods that throw exceptions? Quel horror!
Do you mean checked or unchecked exceptions? Why on earth would you want to do that?
When you think about it, you'd have to add your convention to every method, because there's always the potential of an error or NPE or some other thing that could go wrong.
The "throws" clause is enough when you have checked exceptions, and there's no good purpose on God's green earth for unchecked exceptions.
Don't do it. Please.
If you need these methods differentiated, I'm sure you can do it in the naming without using a suffix or anything, which is (as others have pointed out) pretty ghastly.
Why have:
and (say)
when you could actually make it a meaningful part of the name by conveying the actual intent:
... or any number of other (probably better) names which actually convey the intent rather than relying on a confusing suffix.
There is no convention and adding an ex will make the name harder to read and ugly looking for the average java programmer.
But at sometimes I could imagine that it would make your code faster understandable to add a try to methods that are likely to throw an exception. Especially if they are unchecked.
It doesn't have to be something ugly like it could be found in many c/c++ programs where you use _name or mName for members or iValue for integers. But in java there are some conventions too. If a method will return an integer it is prefixed with is... set, get and test are the most used examples for this. All of this things are documented in the method header, through return type annotations etc... But adding one word to the function name makes it easier and faster to read and understand.
Why not use try to give programmers reading your code a subconscious hint that this method is likely to throw an exception. Like tryCopyFile instead of tryWriteFile.
There is none that I'm aware of.
In my opinion, the only time something like that makes sense is in unit test cases (e.g., testFooExpectingException()). But that's not really what you're talking about.
There is no such convention because every method can throw exceptions, regardless of whether you declare them or not. It's also somewhat redundant in this day and age of IDE tooltips (unless you're not using an IDE of course).
I'm curious to know why you are tempted to use such a naming convention though.
Every once in a while you'll run into a case where it might make sense to have a method name like
But the point here isn't "method 2 throws an exception, method 1 doesn't" -- because, as mentioned above, any code could throw a
Even then, the code would usually be cleaner if you could just get away with one behavior or the other, and call the method
A useful parallel here might be the distinction between Systems Hungarian and Apps Hungarian in Hungarian Notation. (See also this piece on coding conventions from Joel on Software.)

Beef Products Inc. announced Thursday that the company has filed a $1.2 billion lawsuit against ABC News, three reporters (Diane Sawyer, Jim Avila and David Kerley) and others, claiming damages as a result of their reports on BPI's lean finely textured beef product (LFTB) more colloquially known as "pink slime."
"There has to be some consequences for news organizations to be more truthful," stated Beef Products Inc. founder Eldon Roth in a video extolling the virtues of the product and outlining the company's case against the news outlet. "They hurt real people, and a lot of people."

In cooking, the process of clarification entails straining out extraneous muck from liquids so that they might be pure, clear and ideal for consumption. With this series on food terminology and issues we're attempting to do the same.
A new phrase has oozed into the news cycle: "pink slime."
While one might expect such terminology to deal with a "Double Dare" or "Ghostbusters" reboot, instead, it refers to something that many Americans are consuming without even knowing it.
The pink goo first gained mainstream attention when British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver focused an episode of his show, "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution," on the product that is used as a ground beef filler.
During the episode, Oliver reported 70 percent of ground beef in the United States contains the ammonium hydroxide-treated ground meat that bears a striking resemblance to strawberry fro-yo.

The dirty truth about extortion is that it works. And nowhere is that truth more evident than in the saga of the Space Needle and the gay-pride flag.
The Needle's Facebook page soon overflowed with outraged comments, many of them noting that the company didn't seem to hold to its one-and-done policy when it came to the Seahawks' 12th Man flag, often raised on the rare occasions when the team makes the playoffs. Other online activists took their anger to Change.org, where a petition to pressure the Needle to fly the flag got 9,000 signatures in only 10 days.
Perhaps sensing that the public outcry was growing unmanageable, roughly two weeks after the controversy erupted, the Needle came up with a compromise: Raise $50,000 for four LGBT-friendly local charities, and you'll have your flag. There was precedent for this kind of extortion. In 2005, the Needle took advantage of the Husky/Cougar rivalry to raise nearly $165,000 for Habitat for Humanity, eventually flying the crimson and gray of victor Washington State.
For the first three days of the gay-pride fundraiser, things seemed to be going equally well, as it took in more than $15,000. Then, last Wednesday, in yet another concession, the Needle issued a new press release, this time announcing that no other donations were necessary; the flag would fly this upcoming Sunday, the last day of Pride Week, whether the goal was reached or not.
Predictably, after removing the carrot, the Needle's stick proved much less effective. As of noon Monday, the campaign had only managed $70 since the end of the weekend, $50 of which came from a woman under the misguided belief that the company was still holding the gay-pride flag hostage.
Whether you think the Needle should have agreed to raise the flag from the very beginning or was right to deny a second flight for the rainbow probably depends on any number of factors, including, presumably, your orientation, both political and otherwise. But one thing is for certain: Once the company rescinded its ransom note, a lot fewer people were willing to pay.

No Jail Time for Cho, But He's Still Full of Beans
If you haven't read it yet, check out Rend Smith's excellent summation of Nick Cho's sales tax woes. The former mad man at Murky Coffee won't be doing any jail time, but he still has a price to pay:
Namely $190,000 in back taxes and penalties. Reports Smith:
In order to pay the tax money he owes, Cho has worked out a payment plan, which appears on a D.C. Superior Court document defining his probation. Cho will have to make an initial payment of $276.41, due on March 4. After 11 consecutive payments, the monthly amount due will increase to $3.900.00.
You might wonder how Cho is going to pay back all that money given he's no longer GM at Chinatown Coffee Co.
Here's your answer: He's back selling beans. His own this time. Cho and Trish Rothgeb, a roastmaster who apparently doubles as Cho's girlfriend, have started Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters, which sells bags over at Bakeshop in Clarendon.
Tasting Table DC has tried the couple's first release and writes that it's a "clean, chocolaty blend of heirloom varietals from Colombia." It's also $12 per bag. More small-batch blends are on the way. More outlets at which to buy them, too.
Nick Cho has bills to pay, baby.

Helpful Definition for: SignsSigns, or signage, are visual graphics used to convey information to the public. The functions of signs vary, and include providing advertising (i.e., banners, billboards, digital signs, exterior wall signs, hanging signs, lettering on windows or vehicles, marquees, neon signs, painted signs, posters and proprietor signs); direction (arrows and directional markers, etc.); identification (i.e., street signs and numbers, signs for various facilities such as hospitals, restrooms and customer service areas); information (i.e., directories, floor plans and instructions); and warning (traffic and road signs, etc.). Advertising and informational signs are generally rectangular in shape; warnings of danger are conveyed using triangular-shaped signage. Regardless of what purpose they are intended to serve, signs must be noticeable and easily comprehended in order to be effective. Companies involved in the sign business often specialize in designing and creating custom signs for clients ranging from individuals and sole proprietorships to neighborhood establishments, chain stores, and large corporations.

What's the difference between Console.WriteLine() vs Debug.WriteLine()?
Console.WriteLine writes to the standard output stream, either in debug or release. Debug.WriteLine writes to the trace listeners in the Listeners collection, but only when running in debug. When the application is compiled in the release configuration, the Debug elements will not be compiled into the code.
A clear advantage of Debug.WriteLine() is that it generates no overhead in the Release build, the calls are effectively removed. It however does not support composite formatting, you'll need String.Format() for that. For debug tracing, the Debug class should be your choice.
If your purpose of using console.writeline is solely for debugging, you better use Debug.WriteLine.
If you want to show a message to your user, you would use Console.WriteLine.
Debug.WriteLine is only for the purpose of debugging your application. In the release mode your debug statements will be ignored.
Another usage of a console application is to test private assemblies. Rather than the traditional approach of creating some sort of GUI test harness to test the compiled version of the DLL, you can simply re-build the DLL as a console application and input/output from/to the console. I have found this technique to be faster than spending time creating a GUI test harness.

The future is bright for Dubai's real estate
All sectors of the industry are recovering, but some faster than others, reveals report
January 20, 2014 5:42 by Maha El Gazzar
Investment management company Jones Lang LaSalle released the latest Dubai Real Estate Market Overview for Q4 of 2013, which provides a review of the office, residential, retail, hospitality and industrial sectors.
The Dubai economy ended 2013 on a positive note, with real GDP growth estimated at 4.7 per cent according to the Dubai's Department of Economic Development (DED). The same year saw the recovery of all sectors in the Dubai Real Estate market, however, not all of them performed the same way. While the residential, retail, hotel and industrial sectors witnessed strong and relatively broad-based growth, the recovery of the office sector remains more selective and concentrated in a few prime locations, with high vacancies and significant new supply depressing rental pressure elsewhere.
The real estate investment market in Dubai saw a limited number of transactions in Q4 of 2013, as most sellers adopted a wait-and-see approach ahead of the results of the Expo 2020 bid. The main buyers in the Dubai market continue to be the Gulf Arabs, with an increased interest in land.
The office leasing market witnessed more activity in Q4, boosted by seasonal factors as many corporates acted ahead of year's end. Prime rents continue to improve as the increase in demand for the best quality spaces continues. Elsewhere, average office rents have remained unchanged with increases in some projects being offset by declines in others.
The total office space delivered in 2013 stood at 390,000 square metres, 34 per cent than the completions in 2012. The CBD (DIFC, Burj Downtown and SZR) spans approximately 19 per cent of the existing office stock. The fastest growing area is Business Bay, which accounts for approximately 50 per cent of the future supply expected over three years.
The residential market ended 2013 on a strong note, with prices increasing by 22 per cent year-on-year and rents improving 17 per cent year-on-year. The recovery has been broad based and evident in prime locations as well as secondary and more affordable spaces. While further growth in rents and prices are anticipated, 2014 is expected to see a slowdown in the unsustainable levels of growth seen in 2013.
The retail market registered growth in 2013, with turnover and rents increasing in both primary malls and community based centres. Street shops have also been increasingly popular in select locations within Dubai in 2013.
The hotel sector had a very positive year with record tourist arrivals. Despite a number of notable openings, the market registered remarkable occupancy rates (year-to-date of 80 per cent) and high Average Daily Rates (year-to-date reaching US$241). Securing the Expo 2020 bid is expected to give an additional boost to the sector and lead to further hotel developments in 2014 and beyond.
The industrial market registered solid growth in 2013 with a number of infrastructure projects benefiting the sector. Demand continues to shift to newer areas to the south of Dubai and this is expected to remain the case given the proximity of these areas to the Expo 2020 site.

Arizona State officially introduces Sendek
Updated: April 3, 2006, 4:53 PM ETAssociated Press
TEMPE, Ariz. -- At first glance, it seems hard to understand why Herb Sendek would leave North Carolina State to take over at Arizona State.
He's moving from a storied Tobacco Road program with two NCAA championships to a school better known for its success in football and baseball. But as Sendek was introduced as the Sun Devils' 13th men's basketball coach Monday, he said the timing was right for him to build a winning tradition at ASU.

Eleven Harvey Norman franchisees will face legal action for allegedly ripping off customers on warranties and repairs.
The ACCC today announced it had taken the stores to court for what it called misleading and deceptive conduct.
It said the Harvey Norman franchisees had told customers they had no obligation to fix damaged goods outside of their nominated return period, had refused to service goods covered by the manufacturer's warranty, wouldn't refund or return particular items such as large appliances or low-cost products, and told customers a fee was required for faulty product repairs and returns.
It said consumer rights under Australian Consumer Law, for the remedying of faulty goods or products that fail to comply with guarantees, can't be modified.
The eleven targeted stores are scattered throughout Australia, located in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. A directions hearing will take place on the 19th December.
The consumer watchdog said the case forms part of its national consumer guarantees awareness campaign, launched earlier this year, which has also shone the spotlight on technology vendor and Harvey Norman partner HP.
HP similarly earned the ACCC's wrath for allegedly deceiving customers over faulty warranties and products. The vendor allegedly told customers they could not get replacements for products until they had been repaired multiple times, and also told customers returns would only be provided at HP's discretion.
According to the ACCC, HP also advised customers the warranty period for its products were limited to an "express" period, and asked for a fee for any repairs or replacements for faulty products after that period.
That case will be heard in Sydney's Federal Court on December 7. The ACCC said it has received over 16,000 complaints from consumers regarding product guarantees this year.

The US Apple Store will ship only to addresses in the US and some US territories. You'd have to have the product shipped to someone you know (ordering will require a US credit card) and then have them ship the product to you, and that will usually involve export licensing, the payment of VAT and import duties, and other such headaches, so I'd suggest just buying from the Spanish Apple Store or an authorized dealer there.

Also, if you buy the device in the US and ship to Spain, and then have a problem requiring warranty service, you'll have to ship the device back to the US.

A "Sage" (仙人, Sennin) is someone who is able to utilise senjutsu (仙術, Literally meaning: Sage Techniques), and has mastered the art of Sage Mode or someone given said title because of their renown for their great power, wisdom, or holy standing.
Main articles: Senjutsu and Sage Mode Senjutsu (仙術, English TV: Sage Jutsu, Literally meaning: Sage Techniques) is a specialised field of techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather natural energy. Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own chakra. This adds a new dimension of power to the practitioner's chakra, resulting in the creation of "senjutsu chakra" (仙術チャクラ, senjutsu chakura). Very few people are shown to have mastered senjutsu. This is because both learning and using senjutsu is not safe; death may easily occur while learning to use it. Fukasaku claims that the toad sculptures on Mount Myōboku are those who failed to master the art of senjutsu. Naruto Uzumaki, Kabuto Yakushi, Hashirama Senju, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are currently the only known human users of senjutsu. Other animals such as Fukasaku and Shima are also able to use it with the White Snake Sage and Great Toad Sage amongst others, being at least knowledgeable in it.
Other Meanings
"Sage" can also refer to an individual renowned for their great power, wisdom, or holy standing.
- Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the original Sage of Six Paths, was one of the most famous sages in the series, a legendary figure who discovered chakra, created modern ninjutsu, the one who saved the world from the Shinju and was the first jinchūriki. As the first jinchūriki of the Shinju, he was able to use natural energy in his techniques, just as the current one, Obito Uchiha, is capable of doing. However, it is uncertain whether Hagoromo was able to use senjutsu before he sealed the beast within himself.
- Son Gokū's moniker: The Great Sage Equalling Heaven (斉天大聖, Seiten Taisei) also makes mention of being a Sage.
See Also
- The term 仙人 (Sennin), refers to the Japanese term of Chinese sages and practitioners of Taoist ways, who have gained immortality and incredible powers through the manipulation of qi, or natural energy through their body by becoming ascetics and living on mountains, where qi is said to gather at the most and to start flowing from into the world. The training and measures needed to become a Sage in Naruto is just as vigorous and demanding, and similar in some regards, requiring one to have massive reserves of chakra, and come to adopt natural energy, not for the pursuit of immortality, but to become harmonised with the flow of the world around them.

News 12 @ 11 Sat. Oct 20
ATLANTA (AP) -- Rashaun Grant ran for 119 yards and a touchdown
in place of injured star Tashard Choice and Georgia Tech beat Army
34-10 today.
Choice hurt his right knee on a 7-yard run late in the first
quarter. The senior, in obvious pain, was helped off the field and
then wheeled to the locker room. He did not return to the sideline.
Grant, also a senior, posted his first 100-yard game since his
freshman season, but sat out the fourth quarter with an injury to
his right ankle.
Freshman Jonathan Dwyer and sophomore Jamaal Evans also ran for
second-half touchdowns for the Yellow Jackets, who had 510 total
yards, including 292 on the ground.
Choice, the Atlantic Coast Conference's leading rusher, set
career highs with 37 carries for 204 yards in a win at Miami last
week. He ran for 24 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown run, before
being injured.
Georgia Tech (5-3) only led 13-10 at halftime.

Respond to Review of Eat at The Stade
by wildfang
Review: This is a really nice place to go to, especially with children - it's so hard to find a children-friendly eatery in the UK so we were very happy to have EAT to go to during our stay in Hastings. There was a number of vegan options for ok prices. I had a big mixed salad which was very good and my partner chose the full English vegan breakfast that is served all day. We had a nice chat with the owner too and would certainly recommend this place to others.

The young fox was under the care of park staff and needs medication to stay well.
A red fox that was undergoing rehabilitation has been stolen from Stark Park's wildlife center.
Staff arrived Friday to find the fox missing and its cage cut.
The young fox was under the care of park staff and needs medication to stay well.
According to Stephon Eschague, senior wildlife rehabilitation specialist at the center, safety of the fox is another concern.
"The fox has not acclimated to a natural environment and cannot hunt for food or fend for itself in the wild," he said.
If whoever took the fox plans to keep it as a pet, he warns that Ohio law prohibits keeping a wild animal as a pet.
Rangers are reviewing security footage.

A Lynn Haven Family Dollar employee is recovering Monday after being attacked by a robber.
Police say the incident happened shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday morning when the store opened for business.
Investigators say a man, along with other customers, walked into the store. A few minutes later police say the man hit the store clerk. Neither the clerk nor witnesses saw any weapons.
Police say the man then reached across the counter and grabbed money from the cash drawer.
Lynn Haven police are looking for a white man in his early twenties who is 5'9" to six feet tall, between 165 and 185 pounds. He was last seen wearing a dark long sleeve shirt, jeans and a dark colored cap.
Anyone with information is asked to call Lynn Haven Police at 265-4111 or Crimestoppers at 785-TIPS.

At the US premiere of Terminator Salvation, About.com interviewed producer Dan Lin, who talked about, among other things, a couple of his upcoming projects. Lin is producing Sherlock Holmes -- directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law -- and a prequel to Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, which is not yet in production and has no one attached to it.
Here's what he had to say about Sherlock Holmes:
The tone is period Butch and Sundance. It's almost like a buddy cop movie set in the period world. Like Butch and Sundance, it's action-oriented, but there's definitely comedy to it. It's really about these two guys, Sherlock and Watson, who basically they're best friends and there's an incident that sets them apart and they have to come back together at the end of the movie.
Sherlock Holmes reimagined as Butch Cassidy? Interesting notion.
Lin then gave some details about the Lara Croft project, which will be a prequel to the other two movies.
Really excited -- it's a great origin story that we're going to tell. A very character-oriented, I would say more realistic than the past Lara Croft movies ... I would say it's like Terminator -- character-driven action. I think for me the Lara Croft games and movies have gone a little too action-oriented. I wanted to have action, but with character.
The movie will also require a re-casting, since it involves a Lara Croft significantly younger than Angelina Jolie.

Not What It's Hyped Up To Do.
Posted by 5056890468918492513 on Jul 27, 2012
I was clearly disappointed in this product after all the hype from everyone. It did nothing for me and I have been taking another brand of forsksili for months and had great results. This could be because Dr. Oz said to get PURE and this has alot of other things in it and it is ForsLean and not forsksili(coleous) I gave it to my daughter and she said It did nothing for her. I would reccomend pure coleous forskili. The pure on really works.
Works well to curb cravings
Posted by Reviewer1591535 on Jul 24, 2012
I am taking this in conjunction with Source Naturals Inflama-Trim. The combo seems to be exactly what I was looking for in terms of appetite suppression, no jitters and retaining muscle mass on a reduced calorie plan. Not a magic pill, but it does make staying on your food plan or diet so much easier. Recommend!
Its ok

K2's Luv Bug Junior Ski is a great ski for getting her excited about skiing. Younger girls have all of the balance and finesse to be great skiers, but their leg muscles strengthen later which can make it hard to manipulate the skis. To fix this, K2 made the Luv Bug with a foam core to be extremely light, and a sidecut that creates easy turns. When she sees how well she can ski, she'll want to go again and again.
- Dimensions: 95-70-91
- Core: Foam for lightweight feel and easy manipulation
- Triaxial Braiding provides torsional strength without sacrificing natural flex of the wood core
- Torsion Box construction is lively and durable

"Colonial style highland gateaway" Top 5 Page for this destination Cameron Highlands by mansionion
Cameron Highlands Travel Guide: 574 reviews and 1,722 photos
Cameron Highlands was first discovered in 1885 by William Cameron, a British surveyor, during a mapping expedition. As he failed to mark his discovery on the map, the location of the plateau was finally confirmed by subsequents expeditions in the 1920s and named Cameron Highlands in reference to him.
In 1925, Sir George Maxwell (then British Resident General to Perak) visited the highlands and decided to develop it as a hill station. A development committee was then formed to develop Cameron Highlands. The committe was responsible for the construction of the long and winding road up to the highlands which was done entirely by manual labour. Once the road was constructed, wealthy residents and British government officials started building their weekend retreats on the slopes of the highlands. Families of those British residents stationed in Malaya at the time also took to the highlands to escape from the hot, humid tin mines and rubber plantations.
In 1929, John Archibald Russell, the son of a British administrative officer, started a tea plantation here which is now the famous Boh Tea Plantations. The early tea planters were soon followed by Chinese vegetable farmers and wealthy landowners. Later some of them settled here permanently and a business community was developed. Due to its climate and soils, farming was the main activity here at that time.
As Cameron Highlands was initially developed as a weekend retreat hill station by the British residents here, an idyllic English environment was recreated here with Tudor-style mansions and rose gardens all around. This style was also followed by some of the newer post independance developments here.
Some of the Tudor-style hotels and retreats are still maintained at Cameron Highlands, giving the English feel here and the nickname 'Little Corner Of England in Asia'.
- Pros:Fresh air and old colonial charm.
- Cons:Not as cool as it used to be.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
In particular, the draft contracts remove price controls from domain names. According to the draft of new Generic Top-level Domains (gTLD) contracts for Section 7.3 [icann.org]:
Price controls have been removed for 2008 in favor of the transparent pricing model outlined above.
Existing gTLD contracts have an "equal treatment" clause, though, that permits registry operators to copy terms that are accepted by ICANN in other gTLDs. Section 3.2.b) of the .com registry agreement [icann.org] states:
ICANN shall not apply standards, policies, procedures or practices arbitrarily, unjustifiably, or inequitably and shall not single out Registry Operator for disparate treatment unless justified by substantial and reasonable cause.
Thus, existing gTLDs like .com which do have price controls would be able to have those price controls removed if the draft contracts for new gTLDs are adopted as-is.
This would re-open the issue of tiered pricing for domains [webmasterworld.com] that the registry operators lost 2 years ago due to public outcry, when .biz/info/org attempted to remove pricing limits from their contracts. I urge everyone who does not want .tv style pricing in .com or other gTLDs, where the renewal price of any domain can be set unilaterally by the registry operator based on the quality of the domain, to voice their concerns [icann.org] while the public comment period is still open. Once again, ICANN has not been representing the needs of registrants when they produce these sloppy draft contracts that threaten existing domain registrants with unlimited price increases.
So, at least somebody got it.
The email promised said they had a 317 comments ) and that a summary would be published in two phases on their website, first phase to be completed before the end of the year.
