Words. Can't get enough of them. My ongoing love affair with language continues to flourish as I constantly strive to find new ways with which to describe my adventures here in the Upper Delaware Valley. Although today's word is no stranger to me, it cropped up repeatedly over the last week, and so I decided to flip through the dictionary, lest I be using it improperly.
Ephemeral—(adjective): Lasting for a very short time. Fashions are ephemeral… Having a very short life cycle (chiefly of plants).
Seeking a bit more, I turned to my BFF (the Thesaurus) for clarification, where I found: transitory, transient, fleeting, passing, short-lived, momentary, brief, short; temporary, impermanent.
Ephemera takes many forms: letters, paintings, even (gasp!) newspapers and the words written in them. The natural world is no stranger to this concept either, always changing, rarely stagnant, and capricious by definition. Checking in with Wikipedia, I noted that water was an overall theme in Wiki's interpretation, which states that "An ephemeral water body is a wetland, spring, stream, river, pond or lake that exists only for a short period following precipitation or snow melt."
Heeding these words, I took a quick dip in the lake, grabbed a leash, tossed the still-wet wonder dog into the truck and headed out the door in anticipation of "Art in Bloom," one of three exhibitions debuting consecutively at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) in Narrowsburg, NY. While two of the installations are on view through August 3 (www.artsalliancesite.org [2]), the third was (by definition) ephemeral, and it is already gone. Curated by Jane Luchsinger, the group exhibition coupled the talents of local artists and floral designers, who according to Luchsinger, "were paired up by drawing names from a hat" and was "inspired by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts yearly shows based on the same theme." The program said that "each arrangement is a visual interpretation of a painting or sculpture, which is also on display. The arrangements do not mimic the art, but designers use the palette and theme as the basis of their floral composition." Judging by the huge turnout and the (IMHO) incredibly successful endeavor, I can only imagine that "Art in Bloom" will return next summer and therefore give the artists, florists and general public a fresh (and fragrant) opportunity to check in again same time/next year.
While the flowers may be gone, the other two exhibits—Richard Gubernick's "Amusing the Muse" and "Spatial Pathways," featuring the works of Joyce Pommer and Edward Evans—are certainly well worth a visit, and I had the opportunity to chat briefly with Pommer, who told me that her goal is to have "the viewer's eye move with the piece" and that "the white space is as essential to the overall experience as the space occupied by color and design." The artist's statement gave further elucidation, stating that "I do not start with a preconceived idea or plan. The space comes alive through the colors, shapes and layers that work their way into, around and through the space." By showcasing Pommer's work, paired with Evans', gallery director Rocky Pinciotti once again shows a discerning eye, and although ephemeral in nature, these artworks will be around for a while. So make hay while the sun shines, go to the DVAA, and see for yourself.
Meanwhile, on the banks of the glorious Delaware River, Dharma and I attended the opening night of the fourth annual celebration of music, "Under the Moon in Callicoon," as the few remaining fireflies flickered, undoubtedly drawn to "Shift" and "Swoosh" aka "Light Expo," who lit up the night with their fiery display in conjunction with musical performances by the highly entertaining Elizabeth Rose (www.elizabethrosemusic.com [3]) and Brewster Smith. They were followed by the ever-popular Doug Rogers and Hoy Polloy (www.facebook.com/doug.rogers [4]). While Dharma cavorted with her four-legged pals, I schmoozed with friends, snapped some pics and basked in the glorious experience that this concert series (www.callicooncreekpark.blogspot.com [5]) provides. Volunteer-driven and incredibly bucolic (another fine word) this series is not to be missed and only here for a short while, so I would advise checking it out. The website suggests that one "bring a friend, get comfy in a chair or spread a blanket; there's nothing like a concert under a River Basin sky," and I heartily concur. It also suggests that we could "come early to help set up" or "stay late and help with clean up; it's really more fun than it sounds." I did neither, but would like to next time, since none of it happens magically and the fine folks who work tirelessly to create the concerts for all to enjoy could certainly use the help (even from me). With a nice variety of upcoming concerts scheduled, and with summer being fleeting, I plan to be under the moon in Callicoon a few more times. "Momentary, brief, impermanent and short-term?" Let's get out there and do as much as we can!

A Clovis couple is charged with helping two escapees, including a convicted child-killer, in the August jail escape.
Velma Valdez, 44, and Abundio Valdez, 34, are charged with two counts each of harboring a felon.
Abundio Valdez is also charged with two additional counts of assisting in an escape.
District Attorney Matt Chandler said allegations against the two are based on evidence they transported Edward Salas and Luis Chavez to West Texas and also gave them supplies within an hour of the escape.
According to court records, the two were indicted Dec. 19 for "concealing or (giving) aid" to Luis Chavez and Edward Salas between Aug. 24 and 25.
Velma Valdez was related to Salas by marriage.
Chavez and Salas were among a group of eight inmates to escape from the Curry County Adult Detention Center on Aug. 24.
Seven of the inmates have been returned to custody, including Chavez, 19, who was captured Dec. 8 at a Clovis grocery store.
Salas, 24, remains at large.
Investigators said the escapees stole a key from detention officers to unlock a plumbing chase and shimmied up pipes inside a wall where they cut a hole in the roof using handmade tools.
Velma Valdez was released from jail on a $15,000 bond Dec. 31, jail officials said, while Abundio Valdez remains in custody, held on a $50,000 bond.
Velma Valdez is the former wife of Edward Salas' paternal uncle and is the mother of Salas' cousin, Wilfred Salas Jr., who was shot and killed in 2006.
A message left for Velma Valdez was not returned.

Dear fellow bf moms,
A year ago tonight was one of the most amazing nights of my life. At 8:34 pm I went into labor. My mother had just flown in from out of town and we all went out for Mexican After that we walked around Hobby Lobby, Wal-Mart, and Linens N' Things. ( When you're 9 mo pregnant, not an easy feat!)
Then we came home and started watching the movie "Sahara". Minutes into the movie I felt my first contraction. I didn't say anything because I had had alot of pre-labor. An hour into the movie I had this killer contraction. I went to the bathroom and part of my plug had come out. I came out and announced to my mom and husband that it was time. They finished the movie without me yep, while I paced the house, they acted as if nothing was happening! lol When the movie was over we called two of our dear friends and they came over to witness our home-birth. AFter 8 hrs of labor, only 2-3 of them intense, my son burst into the world and our lives were forever changed.
Now as I type this my "little baby" is crawling around the floor talking to himself and playing with some John Deer tracktors. He's laughing, taking his first steps, and eating anything I put infront of him. Where did my little baby go? This night a year ago was so healing for me...I had lost my dad in a plane crash four years before and my mom and I had had a really strained relationship...having my mom and husband there while undergoing the most excruciating pains ever and then coming out triumphant it was like dying and rising again. Now I'm here with just my son...my husband is at work and my mom is thousands of miles away. Its sad, but also I feel a spark of joy and hope at what is to come...we're ttc again and will be moving to someplace unknown in a few months...life is good.
Thank you all so much for being such a support through all the mastitis, plugged ducts, fertility issues, and sleepless nights...this forum has been my lifeline on more than one occasion.
Happy Birthday my sweet boy!!! Here's to many more months of nursing!

Hi Ladies,
I am a teacher and will be returning to work in August. I pumped milk for my DD all of last school year. She is now 16 mo. and there is NO way I will be pumping again. I have a stock pile of milk in the freezer and I'm hoping she'll take it out of a cup while I'm gone. That ought to last a month or two. If not, I plan on donating it on Milkshare.
My question: I currently nurse DD 7-10 times in a 24 hr. period right now. Do you think I'll be prone to plugs if I don't pump at work the first week or so? Do you think I should bring my pump and just try to relieve engorgement if it happens? I've suffered from some pretty serious plugs in the past and I don't want that to happen again. I do plan on nursing when we are together for as long as DD wants.
Any suggestions?

Did you know?
An elephant's trunk has about 100 000 different muscles.
There are some things about elephants that you will only learn by being close to them, like the fact that they smell like freshly cut grass, or that their padded feet enable them to move soundlessly or that their trunks are more dexterous and sensitive than our hands.
The Elephant Sanctuary offers a family orientated programme that lets people of all ages get close to these gentle giants to discover their innermost secrets.
The company runs three different elephant sanctuaries in South Africa: one in the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains on the Garden Route; another close to Hazyview, near the Kruger National Park; and the last at Hartbeespoort Dam, an hour's drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria.
The Elephant Sanctuary prides itself on its elephant conservation and elephant rehabilitation efforts. The most important part of the operation is to have happy, healthy elephants.
Trainers and other staff have a highly ethical approach to the animals and guest numbers are limited to ensure maximum interaction between visitor and elephant, making this a memorable and enriching African experience.
The rescued elephants at the sanctuary can't be released into the wild, as they would not survive. Instead, they have found a home in the sanctuary and as a result of years of care and attention, the personnel at the sanctuary have built close relationships with the animals. Insight into elephant rehabilitation is also shared with visitors to the sanctuary.
In essence you will be able to touch the elephants, feed them, walk with them and ride on them. It's an unbelievably moving experience and one that you'll never forget.
All three sanctuaries are focused on education through interaction. Their programmes are aimed at educating people about elephants. each of which is unique in terms of character, personality and temperament.

Hello again.
Two nights now i've slept with my 5month old baby by my side in bed. We both fell asleep breastfeeding. It seems she slept longer and more peacefully than when she is in her cot.
(Or I hope it isn't that both her father and I are so stoned tired that we don't hear her cry - God forbid!!)
But, what's your experience? Does your LO sleep better next to you?
Mybe I should make her cot more comfortable.
BTW, she hates to be swaddled, she kicks and grunts and rolls until the cover is off her. go figure.

Founded in New York in 1917, Kaye Scholer combines the continuity and business acumen of a century-old law firm with a practical forward-looking, results-driven approach. Focusing on two key sectors, life sciences and financial services, the firm draws on its strengths in bankruptcy, corporate, finance, intellectual property, litigation, real estate and tax to offer strategic guidance and sophisticated legal counsel to public and private entities in litigation, transactional or governance matters. Kaye Scholer's lawyers regularly advise clients across multiple legal jurisdictions, including the US, Canada, UK, EU and China.
Industry Focused. Client Driven.
To help your company stay ahead of the market, we provide the legal services necessary to anticipate and address those problems that affect the very foundations of your business. We draw on our in-depth knowledge of core industries, ability to identify emerging trends to help you exploit new opportunities, and rely on technological advances to effectively manage matters, contain costs and better communicate complex issues to clients, courts or those seated opposite us in the board room.
Over the years, we have built close relationships with clients in life sciences, financial services and real estate. We also have significant experience advising key players in the technology, consumer products, transportation and energy & infrastructure sectors. Indeed, 83 of our clients have been with Kaye Scholer for more than 20 years, including Pfizer, Novartis, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Onex Corporation, The Hershey Company and Time Warner Cable to name just a few.
Because we have focused on key industries for decades, we possess the depth and breadth to consistently deliver quality lawyering at all levels and use a coordinated, interdisciplinary approach to address all the issues related to your matter. This industry experience also allows us to identify potential opportunities or arrange introductions between firm clients to explore synergies or joint ventures to further your business objectives, helping us function not just as your legal counsel, but as your strategic business partner.
Our Approach
It's rare when a legal assignment doesn't touch on multiple facets of the law. An M&A transaction, for example, may also raise issues related to tax liability, executive compensation, SEC or FTC approval, while a product liability threat often is accompanied by regulatory investigations, product recalls, false advertising allegations, creditors' rights claims, IP disputes, even criminal investigations. We therefore take a comprehensive, holistic approach to solve complex issues in the most cost-efficient manner possible.
Alternative Fee Arrangements
Kaye Scholer utilizes a full range of AFAs, tailored to fit a specific assignment based on an open conversation about the scope of work and client objectives prior to the start of any project. For any AFA to be successful, a good line of communication is essential and allows all involved to set clear expectations from the start. We regularly revisit benchmarks with you to track progress, aggressively monitor fees and provide ongoing updates on accrued fees to avoid surprises, allowing us to work with you to immediately address any inefficiencies. We also employ a centralized pricing management system to ensure pricing and billing functions operate smoothly and deliver service continuity.

Best Buy's fiscal fourth-quarter loss narrowed sharply as the big-box consumer-electronics retailer recorded fewer onetime
charges, although core earnings dropped as same-store sales declined.
The quarterly report came a day after Best Buy ended talks with its largest shareholder and founder, Richard Schulze, over a deal in which he and a group of buyout firms were proposing to take a minority stake in the firm in exchange for three seats on the board.
For the quarter, Best Buy reported a loss of $409 million, or $1.21 a share, versus a loss of $1.82 billion, or $5.17 a share, a year earlier. Among other items, the latest quarter included $202 million in restructuring charges, $822 million in goodwill impairments, and an $18 million gain on the sale of investments. The year-ago period included $32 million in restructuring charges, $1.21 billion in goodwill impairments and a $55 million gain. Stripping out one-time items, per-share earnings were $1.64 versus $2.18 a year ago.
Revenue was roughly flat at $16.71 billion. Analysts expected earnings of $1.54 a share on $16.34 billion in revenue. "It was a quarter that was driven, not given," said Joly, adding that Best Buy is "intently focused on the two problems we have to solve: stabilizing and improving our comparable store sales and increasing profitability across our global businesses."

Adam Riess, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and a professor in physics and astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University, today was awarded the 2011 Einstein Medal by the Albert Einstein Society, located in Bern, Switzerland. The Society recognized him for leadership in the High-z Supernova Search Team's 1998 discovery that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating, a phenomenon widely attributed to a mysterious, unexplained "dark energy" filling the universe.
The medal is awarded for outstanding scientific findings, works, or publications related to Albert Einstein. Physicist Stephen Hawking received the first Einstein Medal in 1979. The Albert Einstein Society was founded in 1977 to publicize Einstein's life and work during his years in Switzerland and especially in Bern. Riess will receive the medal at a ceremony in Bern in May 2011.
Riess, 40, shares this year's prize with Saul Perlmutter, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Perlmutter's Supernova Cosmology Project team published similar results shortly after those published by Riess and High-Z team member Brian Schmidt of the Australian National University. Both teams shared the Peter Gruber Foundation's 2007 Cosmology Prize — a gold medal and $500,000 — for the discovery of dark energy, which Science Magazine called "The Breakthrough Discovery of the Year" in 1998. The researchers also shared the 2006 Shaw Prize in astronomy for the same discovery.
Riess led the study for the High-z Supernova Search Team of highly difficult and precise measurements — across 7 billion light-years — that resulted in the remarkable 1998 discovery that many believe has changed astrophysics forever: an accelerated expansion of the universe propelled by dark energy.

You don't need the Internet – each e-book is self-contained.
You get better translations – because some translations can't be used on the Web.
The Mass Today page is available – this merges the Order of Mass with the readings and prayers for the day, so you can follow the Mass right through without having to jump here and there in a missal.
Apps are better than e-books because an e-book covers a fixed period and an app goes on for ever. Moreover, the layout is better and there are more options. Moreover, an app lasts for ever whereas each e-book covers only a year or a month at a time.
Apps are available for iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch, Android, Windows, and the Mac. If you have one of these, get an app. You can read about Universalis apps here.
E-book readers such as the Kindle and the Nook can't run apps. So if you have one of these, get an e-book.
We don't do apps for phones using Windows Phone or most kinds of Blackberry. E-book reader software exists for these phones. So get the sortware and then get an e-book.
Ready-made e-books: we sell selected e-books in Kindle format directly through Amazon. They cover a full year of readings at Mass, or half a year of the Liturgy of the Hours. When the year or half-year runs out, you buy a new e-book.
The full catalogue is here. Amazon offer free samples of every e-book they sell.
Make your own e-book: this is a little more cumbersome and needs a bit of setting up, but it gives you much more flexibility to choose your own calendar and make your own choice of Hours. In the long run it's cheaper as well, because although you need to buy a Universalis registration code costing £19.99 (about $32 or €28), the code lasts for ever and you never need to pay again. We offer free trials of everything, so you don't need to pay for a code until you're sure it is right for you.
Make your own Kindle e-book from our web site – Amazon send the e-book directly to your Kindle.
Make your own Kindle e-book from your computer.
Make your own ePub e-book from your computer.
Please note that the e-books you create are for your private use only and must not be given or distributed to other people.

I'm still very satisfied with the 120GB black Zune that I bought during my trip to the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference 2008 in the end of October. I found a way to use my own Norwegian credit card with the combination of the regional settings in Windows set to "USA" and a borrowed, real address in … LA :-) I first signed up for the 14 day Zune Pass trial – and I was definitely sold.
Luckily, the tricks worked with the real Zune Pass subscription too – so now I'm in my first month of using the Zune Marketplace for for real. I've download a great deal of the music I own from before since I'm lazy and haven't hooked up the external hard drive with the backup of all my music (I'm a recovering CD junkie, so my shelves are filled with albums) so it is a bit weird not having the physical media for some my newly-acquired music.
Here the other day some ads for "The very best of 199X" hit lists turned up on the front page of the Picks section of the Marketplace. Guess what, the summer of 1996 I was 18 and could legally get into pubs and drink beer, so there is a lot of the music from that year that awakes good memories. A good example is The Fugees, that had at least 3 or 4 big hits during the spring, summer and fall.
Back to the playlist. When I saw this "The very best of 1996" playlist I immediately added it to my Downloads list and went to bed. The morning after it was all sitting on my local disk, so I synchronized the Zune and head off for work.
At the train I picked up the Zune, plugged in my Bose QC2 headphones and navigated to the 1996 playlist.
Guess what?
My Zune was infested with crap. Crap. More crap. Unmentionable crap. Boring crap. Boyband crap. Dull drama crap. Crap.
Some example crap artist & songs:
- Celine Dijon – err. Dion
- Los del Rio – Macarena
- Maxi Priest
- Coolio
- Barbra Streisand
- Toni Braxton
- Hanson
- …
And the list just goes on and on and on and on.
And I forgot to mention that I also downloaded the list for 1997 & 98. sic.
So, what is the morale of this story?
It really garbles the navigation system of the Zune so I have a major cleanup in front of me.
I kept the worst part to the last: Guess what? Since the fine piece of hardware (and the SW player too) keeps tracks of all the tunes you've played – the crap may show up on your Zune Tag and possibly affect the content that turns up in the Picks section.
Urgh. Sorry for bothering you with this rant – but the warning is well-meant. Have a nice weekend :-)

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
That is probably going to hurt like a b**** in the next chapter
will surely do...
Guys!!!! guys!!!!!! Wait a minute!!
Naruto when training on Mount Myōboku the frog had a baton with which he was beating natural energy off naruto. Naw if naruto teleports back to the mountain takes the baton and theoretically he could do the same to 10 tails beat the crap out of the natural energy that he has even tho it is an almost infinite pool remember naruto will master ftg so in a couple of seconds he will too do an almost infinite number of hits on jubi. But that will be hilarious, but the same very possible.
Can't naruto suck a lot of that juubi's chakra up with sage mode using the kyuubi's chakra to prevent him from becoming a stoned frog.
Naruto can only see natural energy in sage mode it only absorbs it from nature (animals sky rivers and so on, all things like goku with genkidama ) But i don't think he can absorb it from 10 tails or any other being capable of possessing natural energy(remember when he fought pain he made a clone and then return it to the original with natural energy ( not absorbing it from distance))

Obito suffered loss, pain and anger. A perfect way for someone to get manipulated (like Sasuke with Orochimaru and Obito). Who's to say Madara wasn't lying? I mean, Obito trusted him after knowing him for just a short wile. But if Obito goes streight, death to Konoha and Kishi!
Originally Posted by TheSyren

It would probably backfire
I reckon Sasuke will return soon and test out his new eyes to the max! He'll be more powerful than Obito, some how disable Madara, and become the 10-Tails Jinchuriki! Using it's power to wipe out Konoha, Naruto, and The World!

Wow, we had the same theory!
This chapter was awesome! Why?
1. The Juubi is in action, and boy is he powerful! It's not even the full extent of its power..
2. Kakashi, Naruto, and Killer Bee make a great combo effort that seemingly has potential to work.
3. Kakashi has grown exponentially since the fight began using kamui in an Obito-like fashion with epic proportions!
4. All of this shows promise of greater narrative and scenes in the coming weeks.

Hachibi: EAT THIS!
The Ox strikes from above! Is this is for the Juubi?
Bijuudama is about to smash the Juubi
Madara puts his hand up and absorbs the biju dama
Hachibi: As expected, time for the old fashion way!
Hachibi continues to fall and goes to strike the eye with it's horn
Hachibi: !?
Juubi is holding Hachibi with it's tails, preventing him from striking the eye
Juubi: WUUUUAAAAAAAAARRRR
Madara: A good plan, but not good enough.
Juubi throws Hachibi miles away with it's tail
Kakashi and Sage Naruto land on the Juubi behind Madara and Obito
Naruto: I'll take Madara, you take Obito!
Kakashi: Right.
Kakashi runs towards Obito with Raikiri and Naruto runs towards Madara with Rasenshuriken
Kakashi attacks Obito but he goes right through him.
Naruto attacks Madara with Rasenshuriken but through him as well.
Naruto: !? Since when could Madara do that?
Kakashi: They must be connected now via the Juubi!
Obito: Correct Kakashi, so expect the unexpected.
Obito creates Madara's Susano and grabs Kakashi with it
Madara pulls Naruto in with Bansho tennin and starts sucking him inside Obito's dimension
Out of nowhere Gai's foot is right near Madara neck
Madara resorts to phasing, which results in Gai slipping through as well as Naruto and Kakashi
Gai: If they share the same moves now, they have the same weaknesses!
Naruto: I see, if that's the case...
Naruto goes to punch Madara
Naruto: I'll use fro katas!
Kakashi: I see, Gai! morning peacock!
Gai uses Morning peacock on Madara as well.
Kakashi warps into his box world
Obito: !? MADARA ABSORB!
Madara: *I see, they want me to use Obito's technique to that Kakashi guy can take me out from the other side, but if I don't then I'll have to absorb the fire from that Gai fellow, but Jinchuriki boy is going for a physical attack in this strange mode of his...I guess I'll use that.*
Madara reverts to his eternal.
Madara: Reverse Polarity!
Gai, Naruto and Kakashi all freeze and start back peddling in time.
Naruto: I'll use frog kat--
Madara grabs Naruto with Susano, turns to Gai and uses Amaterasu
Kakashi: !? Gai!
Gai is hit but enters the 7th Gate, pushing the fire away and having it land on the Juubi, causing it to scream in pain
Madara: *So that didn't work..let's try again*
Madara: Reverse Polarity!
Naruto: I'll use frog katas
Madara: indeed you will...but first.
Madara punches Gai with Susano before he enters the 6th Gate, sending him flying to the rocks
Naruto: !?
Madara then turns around and smashes Naruto with a susano punch, naruto's clone disaspears
Kakashi: What's going...it's as if he knew what we were planning all a long?
Kurama: He didn't...that's the same technique he used against Hashirama...his reverse polarity...
Naruto: What?
Kurama: Madara's eternal grants him a special technique, the technique that allows him to manipulate time and space in the real world. It's the very technique that made people think Madara was immortal.
Naruto: What!? How do we beat him then!
Juubi teleports behind Naruto
Juubi: You dont.
Naruto/Kurama: !??
Hachibi lands near them in a forest
Hachibi: Urgh....that hurt...
Hachibi turns his head and see's something
Hachibi: !?? That chakra...those eyes...
Two dark figures walk out of the forest
Hachibi reverts back to Bee
Bee is trembling while on his knees
???1: Seems I was right, there are people in this world capable of becoming full fledged jinchuriki's...other than him.
???2: You always doubt my word brother, but I can't blame you, being the oldest should make you the superior.
???1: We're not here for our minor brawl, we have one purpose and one purpose only.
Bee looks up at them
The two elder brothers stand in front of Bee
Elder brothers: To clean up our fathers mess.
Chapter end.
Looking forward to how the next chapters will go after this; how Kishi keeps up the action since it is just getting started (hopefully).
Also, I am thinking that the Juubi looks rather cuddly...he just wants to kill everyone with his adorableness *laughs*

i strongly agree becuase i think hes too OP!
i mean i dont want sasuke to team up with naruto to fight madara becuase cmon....i want them to kill each other not make a perfetic reunion -.-

damn!!! i hate it when it does that >.< why they understand that they can im some respects loose fans?
Obito will betray madara. Madara will go rampage. 2 or 3 chapters ahead will be filled with glorious juubi. Still long way of its end.... Enjoy the next chapter...
I think this next chapter starts with someone else(maybe the kages?) waking up to see the juubi off in the distance. Maybe even see the K11 see it in the distance and have a 'what do you suppose that thing is?" kinda moment. Then back to the fight
If yall remember its not at it's full form I mean it only has part of the Eight Tail's and the Nine Tail's chakra maybe thats not it's true form only a degraded form but all in all it's an ok chapter can't wait for the next one.

The freaking Juubi!
I am more and more dissapointed with Naruto by each week.
This is no intense action where the good guys are always winning, I mean, wtf?
theyre really not winning they shot them blast and the juubi just blocked them
besides he also jus smacked the kyuubi uk so yea theyre not unscratched the juubi is the one unscratched
Well k,but naruto doesn't sit well with me anymore

- Abstract
- We have measured the equivalent width of the Ha emission line for 11 006 galaxies brighter than Mb, = -19 (ΩΛ = 0.7, Ωm = 0.3, H0 = 70 km s-1 Mpc-1) at 0.05 < z < 0.1 in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), in the fields of 17 known galaxy clusters. The limited redshift range ensures that our results are insensitive to aperture bias, and to residuals from night sky emission lines. We use these measurements to trace μ*, the star formation rate normalized to L*, as a function of distance from the cluster centre, and local projected galaxy density. We find that the distribution of μ* steadily skews toward larger values with increasing distance from the cluster centre, converging to the field distribution at distances greater than ∼3 times the virial radius. A correlation between star formation rate and local projected density is also found, which is independent of cluster velocity dispersion and disappears at projected densities below ∼1 galaxy Mpc-2 (brighter than Mb, = -19). This characteristic scale corresponds approximately to the mean density at the cluster virial radius. The same correlation holds for galaxies more than two virial radii from the cluster centre. We conclude that environmental influences on galaxy properties are not restricted to cluster cores, but are effective in all groups where the density exceeds this critical value. The present-day abundance of such systems, and the strong evolution of this abundance, makes it likely that hierarchical growth of structure plays a significant role in decreasing the global average star formation rate. Finally, the low star formation rates well beyond the virialized cluster rule out severe physical processes, such as ram pressure stripping of disc gas, as being completely responsible for the variations in galaxy properties with environment.

PHOTO: Prince Harry Caught Naked In Las Vegas Hotel
Prince Harry must have been feeling jealous that he didn't get to bask in any of the attention aimed at England during the London Olympics: The Ginger Royal got photographed by a TMZ paparazzo partying naked in a Las Vegas hotel, where he was playing a game of strip pool.
Hmm, wonder if his balls were stripes or solid?
Source: TMZ
Fair's fair; we've already seen his brother with his dick out taking a leak. Harry's turn, and he looks better naked than in a Nazi costume.
Rule Britannia!
Yummy! Dump that fish Harry! Take a walk on the wild side! Now that would be worth a few pics!
The guy should have a little fun.
I don't like that this is being called a "scandal." How is a game of strip billiards among consenting adults in a hotel room a scandal? If you're in a private place, and everybody is over 18, you have every right to play strip billiards or strip poker or strip Twister or strip whatever the hell you want.
Prince Harry is a young man that needs to enjoy life. He is part of the Military and unfortunately a part of the BORING British Monarchy. Werk it Harry! Werk it good!
Gee, what are the chances that some skank bitch took the pics and ran as fast as she could to TMZ to sell the pics.
I resent the hell out of that well placed red star. It messes up the whole picture!
@DirtyOleMan: Here is a link to a picture WITHOUT THE STAR!!
@DirtyOleMan: Actually this one is better, the TMZ watermark isn't in the way
Why are Americans so uptight about seeing a bare ass? WTF is the star all about? Regarding the subject at hand, gotta love Harry.
So we can take it that Prince Harry isn't very good at pool, then?
Harry's an ass, and an increasing embarrassment to the British public. Not because he chooses to get naked in private, but because he's so stupid as to allow himself to get photographed, given that he's 3rd in line for the throne. I've always considered him to be the "special" one of the two brothers, and he continues to prove it.
But I for one, am grateful, because it continues to bring the redundant British monarchy into disrepute. Hopefully people will ask, what the hell we're paying so much to support this ridiculous family for.
Monarchy has no place in 21st century Britain, and the sooner we can move away from hereditary privilege, the happier I'll be.
@GayTampaCowboy: Why did it take this pic to confirm that he has a great bod seeing as there have been tons of shirtless pics of me on the web for a while now?
who's the naked person with him?
I'm not embarrassed by the fact that he's naked. What I'm utterly mortified about is that we have a monarchy. These parasites need done away with.
Oh YES, He looks GREAT!!!!
Harry is the hotter prince.

Do You Want Revenge Against America or Loving Restoration?
Mitt Romney was very wise to pivot on Barack Obama's impromptu statement that "voting is the best revenge" and frame the campaign in the final days as a choice between that negative message and Romney's "love of country."
I wouldn't say that if I thought Obama's statement was merely a slip of the tongue. Rather, I believe that in another unscripted moment, he once again revealed who he really is and the essence of his mindset.
When his soul mate and spouse said that her husband's ascendancy was the first time she'd been proud of America in her adult life, she wasn't just throwing out words. She was telling us who she is and what kind of hang-ups she has about pre-Obama America.
At the time she made the statement, she was on the stump representing her husband and speaking for him. They are of one mind on this point.
It is also no coincidence that Obama spent all those years at the feet of the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright and, before that, mentors such as the Marxist Franklin Marshall Davis. Wright's sermons inspired Obama's book title, for heaven's sake, and informed his political attitudes and reinforced his worldview.
Without revisiting all the evidence pointing to Obama's grudge against pre-Obama America, we only need remind ourselves of his pre-election comment that we were "five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
That was a chilling statement and unmistakable in its meaning. Obama didn't like the America that currently existed, and he had ambitions not just to tweak it or implement a few salutary reforms but to: fundamentally: change it. He wasn't just talking about getting the economy growing again after the financial meltdown. He was determined to implement structural changes across the board to exact "economic justice" and "social justice" — a pair of familiar lyrics from every leftist radical's hymnal.
It would be one thing if Obama had made that statement during slavery or before the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments or even before the vast array of civil rights legislation and regulation in this country. But he made it in 2008, after all those constitutional and legislative changes had long since occurred and a few days before a clear majority of voting Americans elected him to be president of the United States.
In office, Obama has also betrayed his grudge-oriented mindset. He never really sought true bipartisanship. From day one, it was his way or the highway. Nowhere was this more striking than his dictatorial approach to Obamacare, which he willingly crammed down the throats of a dissenting American public. He was not a man who was leading America toward positive change but one who was forcibly imposing his radical will on America and completely unwilling to budge when challenged. "I'm the president."
Let's also not forget that during his first two years in office at least, Obama did get his way legislatively. He passed his enormously wasteful stimulus bill, the Dodd-Frank financial reform fiasco and Obamacare, and he pushed through all kinds of green energy projects, attacked and greatly damaged the oil, coal and natural gas industries, expanded dependency programs, stoked racial and class resentments, downscaled our military forces, and otherwise spent federal dollars as if he were determined to bankrupt the United States.
After all of this, he has nothing positive to show in his record. The economy is still in shambles with no end in sight. Yet he has given us no specifics of what he'd do in a second term except more of the same. In his words, "let's not turn back now." Really? Not turn back from policies that are destroying our economy and bankrupting us?
Economic results are not what he's after, folks. He wants revenge — against an America he believes has been unfair and sinful in the past, a nation that has consumed too much of the world's resources and been an international bully. And he's now outright admitted he wants his voters to help him get that revenge.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is bullish on America. He's proud of its founding and its founding principles. He loves and embraces its free market tradition. He is confident in the private sector and believes that the road to economic recovery lies in unleashing the private sector from the oppressive boot of the federal government. He wants America to be strong again.
It was brilliant for Romney to reframe this campaign as between one man marshaling his forces to exact revenge on America and the other leading his supporters to restore our beloved America.
There is no question which of the two candidates presented the more convincing final argument. Romney is offering a positive future; Obama is assuring us continued failure. Vote — and pray.

Image Tagging
As you begin to shoot more images, it becomes harder to seek out and find that killer shot you know you've taken, but can't locate. This is when good tagging practice is integral to workflow and ensures rapid recall of images when you need them. The more you tag the more used to it you'll become and figure out a system that works best for you, but also to build up numerous tags to make future tagging less time-consuming.
In Photoshop Elements 8, there are a variety of processes to help you tag, star and rate photos. The latter options are somewhat cruder and ideal for initial quick edits on the fly. Prior to this phase, however, all your images should be tagged, be they good, bad, ugly or otherwise – even images you don't think you'll ever use may come in handy in the future. Tags can be any words that you wish, though should include both broad generic terms as well as being more specific. For example, when reviewing all your pictures from a holiday in Nice, every photo could be tagged with 'holiday', 'Nice' and any other general tags that may be of personal value. Next, tags concerning technical terminologies should also be considered – 'shallow depth of field', 'blurry' or similar may come into use should you wish to browse this way in the future. Lastly the specific content of the images is keenly important, where descriptive terms such as 'mountain', 'family' and other content-specific tags will be of use. Elements 8 even goes an extra step further by not only automatically detecting faces in a scene, but recognising them too. It's possible to tag names of your friends, family and so forth and, once named, the program will auto-associate the facial characteristics of that person. Similarly, Elements also auto-detects image quality, where out of focus and similar issues are detected and automatically tagged.
The initial trick for keyword tagging is to list as many keywords as possible. Once a large database is added, the likelihood is repeat use of many of the words, which will all be readily available for quick and easy apply to images.
Image Tagging – Creating A Tag
Creating A Tag
To the right of Photoshop Elements's Organizer window is a 'Tag Selected Media' field in the Keywords Tag panel. In here it is possible to type your tags which will associate to the selected image or multiple images. The 'plus' symbol in the panel also offers the ability to make a 'New Category' to the existing four presets – People, Places, Events, Other – where your keyworded photos can live for the purpose of easy-to-view breakdowns.
Image Tagging – Tag Cloud
Tag Cloud
The Tag Cloud is the T-symbol with a cloud behind it. When selected, this arranges all the current keywords into one long paragraph, with bolded and larger words for the more popular choices. This arrangement also makes reading and locating tags quicker and easier than otherwise scrolling through the elongated Keyword Tag Hierarchy list. Selecting photos and dragging (but not clicking) the relevant keyword tag will also quick-apply to the selection.
Image Tagging – Retrieving Images
Retrieving Images
Should you not wish to trawl through all the words in the Keyword Tag Hierarchy list or click through the Tag Cloud, the 'Search' field to the top left of the screen offers the ability to type in what you're looking for. Keyword matches then appear in a drop list below and all relevant photos are shown for easy retrieval. It's possible to 'stack' keywords too, by typing in multiple words side by side for more-refined search results.
Image Tagging – Smart Albums
Smart Albums
A Smart Album can have associated keywords or other user-defined rules, with relevant images utomatically falling into the correct album. In the Albums panel to the top right of Elements, click the 'plus' symbol and Create Smart Album. Adjust the fields to include desired keywords, for example 'portrait' and 'roof', and thereafter all appropriate current and future imported images will fall into the album, without the timely cost of manually dragging and arranging images into albums by hand.
Image Tagging – Face Recognition
Face Recognition
Find > Find People For Tagging or Ctrl+Shift+P will start Elements 8's Auto Analyzer. This recognises faces by single, double, small group, large group, close up and long shot. When located by the program you will be prompted to name each face, and facial traits will be 'remembered' and auto-recognised when that face next occurs. These face-name keywords are then easily searchable, whether singularly or in multiples, to help in locating singles such as 'Dave' or stacked specifics such as 'me' and 'Dave', for example.
Image Tagging – Going the Extra Mile
Going the Extra Mile
Beyond of Elements's interior capabilities, other automated tagging types are coming to the fore. Geotagging is one such measure that, with the right GPS-enabled equipment or camera, will mark the location of where a shot is taken. Elements will auto-read geotags, as will many other programs. Not only does this automate the global positioning and often nearest city name into keyword tags, it also has further use – as more third-party programs begin to plug in and use the lat- and longitudinal geotag data in order to display the physical location shot. Microsoft's Photosynth is one such ongoing example.
Tagging is important for personal use and cataloguing, but it's also an important workflow process to ensure future-proof integration with new technologies.
Note that the Organizer is only part of Elements 8 for Windows. The Mac version relies on the similar capabilities of Apple iPhoto or Adobe Bridge for browsing and face recognition where applicable.
Creating your own Smart Albums or Albums – whether by date, occasion, or a combination of both – can help divide up your photos and generates a further way of dividing a search when browsing by keywords.
Elements 8's Auto Analyzer function is in its first generation and, on some occasions, is inaccurate. Double-check through the undesirable tags that it may associate, and check for accuracy.
As well as still images, it's also possible to tag movie files too.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

My baby is 4 mths old. We took her in for her 4mth visit and she's gained 1 lb since 2months old. She is exclussively BF, very alert, and has no signs of dehydration...
I know she's healthy, but still am a little concerned. I know she was gaining well weeks 2-6 b/c I was taking her in to the LC every week and she was gaining 8-11 oz a week (excellent they said). She had a slow start the first 2 weeks but then was doing great. After that she had her 2mth visit and I was a little surprised at how little she still was b/c she had only gained a few oz (less than 1 lb) from when she was 6 weeks old. Since that appt I've weighed her with clothes on a few times and it's always 11.5-12lbs, meaning she's really not gaining. (she was born at 6lbs 13oz -- she's gained 5lbs since birth)
Why is that??
I've wonder if I make low-fat milk? I've wondered this before with the other kids b/c I don't have as much fat on the top of my refridg. milk as most other moms I've seen (mostly at the hospital where I work - i"ve seen lots of refrid'd mommy milk).
My first girl was thin too, but she didn't get thin until after about 6mths, once she started crawling. At this age she was actually a little cubby. Faith isn't crawling or even rolling all the way over yet, so no idea how she burns it beyond being awake so much.
At this point the ped said to just continue to feed her as I have been and we'll recheck her next month. She eats pretty frequently during the day - every 1-2 hours, more often as the evening progresses. We don't have any schedule and jsut feed her on demand. She takes 1 big nap about 5 days a week, otherwise just cat naps off and on. She sleeps long stretches most nights- usually 6hrs and then 3-4 more (but occasionally sleeps up to 10 hours). We've done no supplimenting or solids at this point. We just started giving her mommy milk in a bottle every evening b/c I'm returning to work (1-2 evenings a week) later this month.

Rahul Sood, the founder of VoodooPC and a former employee of Hewlett-Packard, said that HP needs to keep its personal systems group (PSG) and not spin it off, as the company plans. Instead of focusing on enterprise customers or services to keep profit margins high, Mr. Sood believes that HP needs to focus on "real people" and try to improve profitability, value and user experience of its PSG unit instead.
Many believe that by spinning off or selling the personal computer business (which also includes smartphones, tablets and other products for personal users), HP wants to reproduce the deal made by IBM several years ago, when it sold its PC business unit to Lenovo Group back in late 2004. But Rahul Sood, who served as chief technology officer of HP's global gaming business, believes that HP will not be able to duplicate such a deal successfully. Instead, HP is risking losing its PC biz and eventually vanishing into oblivion.
"If they choose to go 'the IBM route' HP risks missing the winning formula of IBM and they could end up forgetting about the consumer and focusing on the enterprise. In my opinion catering to the 'enterprise' is such an old school way of thinking. Companies should cater to people, and the enterprise will follow, because real people run the enterprise. RIM is having a tough time because the competitor that displaced them is catering to real people, not Wall Street, not the enterprise. […] I believe if you build beautiful products that excite your customers then shareholders will ultimately benefit. I believe if you cater to shareholders then customers will suffer," said Rahul Sood in an interview with TechCrunch web-site.
Mr. Sood, who currently works as the general manager for system experience in the interactive entertainment business of Microsoft Corp., believes that the main problem of HP's PSG is the lack of vision for further evolution. The problem worsens by the fact that the PC business is much more than a business for HP, but rather the face of HP that everyone can see and understand.
"I understand that sometimes to fix a disease you need to cut off a limb. Unfortunately I think they're cutting off more than one limb, and they are missing the synergies required to successfully operate a profitable enterprise + consumer model. Though HP has separate divisions, the company is very much dependent on each other. You can't simply cut off one head and grow another, you'll bleed out. You can absolutely fix dysfunctional organizations without breaking them apart. Such a move requires strong leadership (empowered leaders), a believable vision, and a strategy that resonates," wrote Rahul Sood in a blog post.
The big question is whether HP is generally capable to transform its personal systems business. HP managed to virtually kill the Voodoo brand and created a mess out of its PC products mix. While independent, Voodoo PC used to offer a broad family of various desktops as well as several laptops. But after the acquisition by HP the only Voodoo-branded systems released were Omen high-end gaming desktop as well as Envy luxurious notebook. While initially Rahul Sood believed that HP would offer significant opportunities to leverage the Voodoo technologies, eventually he admitted that the "things got a little complicated" and implied that he no longer could influence the development of advanced gaming products at HP. At present HP does not offer Voodoo products.

Loc: this too shall pass
"an ultimate end," which sounds like it could be read as redundant
this is an example of what happens when you take lexicographical shortcuts. telos is the answer to the old question "how do you know when you've reached the end?" telos is the purpose or ultimate object or goal. it's a more philosophical abstraction than just 'the end'.
Reconceptualized slightly differently, most theories of business ethics enhance ambiguity by (rightly) introducing additional concerns that an ethical business corporation or person should take into account, but they do not prescribe a particular "aim" or "goal" or "telos" that is to be accomplished by ethical behavior other than for business behavior to be (again, quite rightly) more multifaceted than currently practiced. Unlike the Hawaiians, contemporary business ethicists do not possess the luxury of a four month long makahiki that allows people to rest from hard-headed business competition. Even though a seasonal makahiki is unavailable, business ethicists need to specify a good that can inspire the energies of people to pursue noneconomic goods. They need a metaphorical dance, a feast, or a symphony inspiring enough to motivate business leaders to pause from corporate warfare to celebrate makahiki in one's work. Put one more way, ethicists need to articulate a goal so compelling that economic analysis must give that goal space in corporate life.
I propose the telos of sustainable peace as an aim to which businesses should orient their actions both for reasons of the good of avoiding the activities that contribute to or make more likely the spilling of blood as well as for the good of sustainable economic enterprises, which are fostered by stable, peaceful relationships.
-Corporate makahiki: The governing telos of peace
American Business Law Journal, Winter, 2001
[makahiki, I gather, is a four-month Hawaiian festival to celebrate "new beginnings"]

Closure. But Anschluss means one entity becomes joined to another. Hitler annexed Austria,
and the action was call Anschluss. The verb is schliessen. I think the other forms are past tense
schloss, past participle geschlossen.
