text: I'm sure some of you have stumbled upon this little trick before, but I had never. I was sitting in my office last week and wanted to put some dots on my nails but didn't have my dotting tool, a bobby pin or anything even close in size. I grabbed a mechanical pencil and tried to use it to make dots. I got SO excited! This was the first time I've ever been able to make dots that tiny and have them be perfect. It's such a small detail but it makes all the difference! I've used every tool in the book, but this one, for some reason, works so much better than anything else. A week after discovering my new favorite thing, I grabbed both the dotting tool AND mechanical pencil and combined dot sizes for a tutorial. The result was super cute and "fizzy" looking. Here's how it's done: (more…)

You are invited to a PUBLIC LECTURE hosted by Carey at Oakridge Lutheran Church, entitled "Liturgy and Spiritual Formation" featuring keynote speaker Dr. Frank C. Senn.
Every time a congregation gathers for public worship it is doing liturgy. Liturgy has been defined as the public work of the people of God. Every congregation in every Christian denomination, as well as other religions, follows a ritual or pattern of activities that constitutes its liturgy. This lecture will discuss how liturgy forms us in a relationship with the Triune God who has made us his own people in Holy Baptism. Also, we will explore how Trinitarian worship has been supported by hymnody and psalmody.
About the speaker:
Frank C. Senn is a renowned American Lutheran pastor and liturgist, currently Adjunct Professor of the History of Liturgy at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. He recently retired from pastoral ministry, having served 23 years as Pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Evanston, Illinois. He has served as president of both The Liturgical Conference and the North American Academy of Liturgy and was formerly a professor of liturgics at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. He is author of many books, including Christian Liturgy: Catholic and Evangelical (1997), New Creation: A Liturgical Worldview (2000), The People's Work: A Social History of the Liturgy (2006) and Introduction to Christian Liturgy (2012). Dr. Senn holds B.A. in music from Hartwick College, M.Div. from Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, and Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies from University of Notre Dame.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
The reason why i said that is because naruto said so in the latest chapter and if naruto says it won't end I BELIEVE HIM!
Madara and Obito > Whole shinobi world.
No point in making a thread about this, I'm not being mean or anything it's just next time think about what you write.
oh really.. i feel sorry for those who really think it would, im at work that time anyways.
Haha interesting
Obviously not...
Another victim of Naruto no Jutso
Is it me the only one who thought about 21th of this month? :D
i believe in Lords K11
I hope it ends.
at least he stopped you from freaking out about the end of the world
Absolutely it'll not and for serious not just coz naruto creepy reasons.
the world is coming to an end... economically. debt will be forced upon you until you can't pay it. then they will unify the world and relinquish debt but your still gonna be a slave...(card with chip , in-which with out it you can't buy anything) so either you join them or you die.
Yeah I'm the second coming of the Sage, so yeah, it's not going to end, I got this.
Makes another stupid thread about the end of the world.
Mentions Naruto in it.
It is now worthy of the Manga section.
9.9 / 10, well done.

Taylor Auyoung said she was at McDonald's when the confrontation began, and was the only one of her friends who was sober the morning of Nov. 5, 2011.
She said she didn't hear what 23-year-old Kollin Elderts said to a customer at the counter, nor what Special Agent Christopher Deedy might have said to Elderts when he walked over to Elderts' table.
But, she said she did hear what Elderts said in return and remembers what some people did when a fight broke out between the two.
"I heard him yell, 'If you're gonna shoot me then [expletive] shoot me! (People) were egging him on. They were yelling 'chee-hoo,'" in excitement, she said.
She said she doesn't know who started the fight, but heard the "pop pops," then ran out the door.
Another witness, Alexander Byrd, also took the stand on Monday.
He said he heard Deedy rambling and acting drunk before he stepped in to try and stop the fight.
The defense also called into question the actions of the first police officer who talked to Deedy after shots were fired.
Moments after the shot that killed Kollin Elderts was fired, a witness started recording.
On the cellphone video you can hear sirens blaring and people crying.
Honolulu Police Department officer Sterling Naki testified that the scene was so chaotic, he didn't initially think to ask the man hovering over Elderts who he was or why he was there.
"It appeared the defendant knew what he was doing," he said.
"Did you ask agent Deedy if (he is) an officer?" asked defense attorney Brook Hart.
Naki said no.
"Did you ask everybody where the gunman went?" asked Hart.
"I asked everybody, except for the defendant," said Naki.
Naki said with dispatch saying the suspect may have run out the door and Elderts gravely wounded, he focused on helping Elderts.
But he testified when he spoke to Deedy, he could smell alcohol on his breath.
"His eyes had a dazed, glassy-eyed look; his speech was slightly slurred but not bad. He was not stumbling words," said Naki.
On the cellphone video, you can see emergency crews and more cops arriving, witnesses still roaming around, one even picking up Elderts' cellphone that was sitting on a counter nearby.
Naki said he remembers Deedy's actions, but not his words, until he said Deedy said this:
"He said he had a gun. I said a gun? He said yes. I have a gun. I shot him," said Naki.
Naki says Deedy then walked to officers, said he had a gun, said his head and jaw were hurting, and then surrendered completely.

Editor's note: Our book excerpt today is for all you Java gamers, especially the 3D junkies--we know you're out there. In part one of a two-part series taken from Chapter 15 of Killer Game Programming in Java author Andrew Davison describes how to create a scene in a Checkers3D application, using Java 3D. And check back next week, Andrew shows how to create a floating sphere for the Checkers3D app.
This chapter describes
Checkers3D with a Java 3D example that creates a scene consisting of a dark green and blue tiled surface with labels along the x- and z-axes, a blue background, and a floating sphere lit from two different directions. The user (viewer) can travel through the scene by moving the mouse.
The lefthand screenshot in Figure 15-1 shows the initial view; the picture on the right shows the scene after the user has moved around a bit.
Figure 15-1. Initial view, and later
Checkers3D illustrates many of the common, and sometimes tricky, aspects of programming with Java 3D. For example, the 3D scene is displayed using the Java 3D
Canvas3D class, which must be integrated with Java's Swing components. All Java 3D applications require a scene graph, and
Checkers3D shows how to add basic shapes, lighting (ambient and directional), and a background. The scene graph diagram acts as a visual form of documentation, and a textual version of its information can be generated easily, with the help of Daniel Selman's
Java3dTree package. (I'll supply details at the end of this chapter).
The floor and sphere utilize Java 3D's
Text2D, and
Sphere geometry classes: the floor is a series of quadrilaterals in a
QuadArray, and labels are placed along the main axes of the floor using
Text2D objects. The sphere shows how a 3D shape is colored, lit, and positioned in space. The user looks into the 3D world from a viewpoint. You'll see how it can be initially positioned, and how it can be moved during execution by using Java 3D's
OrbitBehavior class.
The class diagrams in Figure 15-2 show all the public and private data and methods for the
Checkers3D application.
Figure 15-2. Class diagrams for Checkers3D
Checkers3D is the top-level
JFrame for the application.
WrapCheckers3D is a
JPanel holding the scene graph, which is viewable via a
Canvas3D object.
CheckerFloor creates the subgraph for the floor (e.g., tiles, axes, etc.), with all the same colored tiles represented by a single
ColoredTiles object.
TIP: The source code for this example is in the Checkers3D/ directory.

Killer Game Programming in Java
Checkers3D is a
JFrame where GUI controls, such as Swing text fields and buttons, would be placed if necessary. In this example, it creates an instance of
WrapCheckers3D (a
JPanel) and places it in the center of a
c.setLayout( new BorderLayout( ) );
WrapCheckers3D w3d = new WrapCheckers3D( ); // panel for 3D canvas
c.add(w3d, BorderLayout.CENTER);
Canvas3D view onto the scene is created inside
public WrapCheckers3D( )
setLayout( new BorderLayout( ) );
// other initialization code
GraphicsConfiguration config =
SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration( );
Canvas3D canvas3D = new Canvas3D(config);
add("Center", canvas3D);
// other initialization code}
Some care must be taken when using
Canvas3D since it's a heavyweight GUI element (a thin layer over an OS-generated window). Heavyweight components aren't easily combined with Swing controls, which are lightweight; the controls are mostly generated by Java. Problems are avoided if the
Canvas3D object is embedded in a
JPanel; then the panel can be safely integrated with the rest of the Swing-built application.
TIP: There's a detailed discussion of the issues related to combining
Canvas3Dand Swing at j3d.org (http://www.j3d.org/tutorials/quick_fix/swing.html).
Compared to applications in earlier chapters, there's no update/draw animation loop. This is unnecessary because Java 3D contains its own mechanism for monitoring changes in the scene and initiating rendering. Here is the algorithm in pseudocode form:
while(true) {
process user input;
if (exit request) break;
perform behaviors;
if (scene graph has changed)
traverse scene graph and render;
Behaviors are scene graph nodes containing code that can influence other parts of the graph, such as moving shapes or changing the lighting. They may be used for monitoring the graph, passing details to the non-3D parts of the application.
The details are more complicated than this pseudocode suggests for example, Java 3D uses multithreading to carry out parallel traversal and rendering. However, having a general idea of the process will help you work through the code in the rest of this chapter.
The scene graph is created by the constructor for
public WrapCheckers3D( )
// initialization code
GraphicsConfiguration config =
SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration( );
Canvas3D canvas3D = new Canvas3D(config);
add("Center", canvas3D);
canvas3D.setFocusable(true); // give focus to the canvas
canvas3D.requestFocus( );
su = new SimpleUniverse(canvas3D);
createSceneGraph( );
initUserPosition( ); // set user's viewpoint
orbitControls(canvas3D); // controls for moving the viewpoint
su.addBranchGraph( sceneBG );
Canvas3D object is initialized with a configuration obtained from
getPreferredConfiguration( ); this method queries the hardware for rendering information. Some older Java 3D programs don't bother initializing a
GraphicsConfiguration object, using
null as the argument to the
Canvas3D constructor instead. This is bad programming practice.
canvas3D is given focus so keyboard events will be sent to behaviors in the scene graph. Behaviors are often triggered by key presses and releases, but they may be triggered by timers, frame changes, and events generated by Java 3D internally. There aren't any behaviors in
Checkers3D, so it's not necessary to set the focus. I've left these lines in since they're needed in almost every other program we'll consider.
su SimpleUniverse object creates a standard view branch graph and the
VirtualUniverse and
Locale nodes of the scene graph.
createSceneGraph( ) sets up the lighting, the sky background, the floor, and floating sphere;
initUserPosition( ) and
orbitControls( ) handle viewer issues. The resulting
BranchGroup is added to the scene graph at the end of the method:
private void createSceneGraph( )
sceneBG = new BranchGroup( );
bounds = new BoundingSphere(new Point3d(0,0,0), BOUNDSIZE);
lightScene( ); // add the lights
addBackground( ); // add the sky
sceneBG.addChild( new CheckerFloor( ).getBG( ) ); // add floor
floatingSphere( ); // add the floating sphere
sceneBG.compile( ); // fix the scene
} // end of createSceneGraph( )
Various methods add subgraphs to
sceneBG to build the content branch graph.
sceneBG is compiled once the graph has been finalized to allow Java 3D to optimize it. The optimizations may involve reordering the graph and regrouping and combining nodes. For example, a chain of
TransformGroup nodes containing different translations may be combined into a single node. Another possibility is to group all the shapes with the same appearance properties together, so they can be rendered more quickly.
bounds is a global
BoundingSphere used to specify the influence of environment nodes for lighting, background, and the
OrbitBehavior object. The bounding sphere is placed at the center of the scene and affects everything within a
BOUNDSIZE units radius. Bounding boxes and polytopes are available in Java 3D.
The scene graph by the end of
WrapCheckers3D( ) is shown in Figure 15-3.
The "Floor Branch" node is my invention to hide some details until later. Missing from Figure 15-3 is the view branch part of the scene graph.
One ambient and two directional lights are added to the scene by
lightScene( ). An ambient light reaches every corner of the world, illuminating everything equally.
Color3f white = new Color3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
// Set up the ambient light
AmbientLight ambientLightNode = new AmbientLight(white);
The color of the light is set, the ambient source is created along with bounds and added to the scene. The
Color3f( ) constructor takes Red/Green/Blue values between
0.0f and
1.0f (
1.0f being "full-on").
A directional light mimics a light from a distant source, hitting the surfaces of objects from a specified direction. The main difference from an ambient light is the requirement for a direction vector.
Vector3f light1Direction = new Vector3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
// left, down, backwards
DirectionalLight light1 = new DirectionalLight(white, light1Direction);
Figure 15-3. Partial scene graph for Checkers3D
The direction is the vector between (0, 0, 0) and (-1, -1, -1); the light can be imagined to be multiple parallel lines with that direction, originating at infinity.
Point and spot lights are the other forms of Java 3D lighting. Point lights position the light in space, emitting in all directions. Spot lights are focused point lights, aimed in a particular direction.
A background for a scene can be specified as a constant color (as shown here), a static image, or a texture-mapped geometry such as a sphere:
Background back = new Background( );
back.setApplicationBounds( bounds );
back.setColor(0.17f, 0.65f, 0.92f); // sky color
sceneBG.addChild( back );
Sphere is a utility class from Java 3D's
com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry package, a subclass of the
Primitive class, which is a
Group node with a
Shape3D child (see Figure 15-3). Its geometry is stored in a Java 3D
TriangleStripArray, which specifies the sphere as an array of connected triangles. I don't have to adjust this geometry, but the sphere's appearance and position do require changes.
Appearance node is a container for references of to much information, including coloring, line, point, polygon, rendering, transparency, and texture attributes.
ColouringAttributes fixes the color of a shape and is unaffected by scene lighting. For a shape requiring interaction between color and light, the
Material component is employed. For light to affect a shape's color, three conditions must be met:
The shape's geometry must include normals.
The shape's
Appearance node must have a
Material component.
Material component must have enabled lighting with
setLightingEnable( ).
The utility
Sphere class can automatically creates normals, so the first condition is easily satisfied.
The Java 3D
Material component controls what color a shape exhibits when lit by different kinds of lights:
Material mat = new Material(ambientColor, emissiveColor,
diffuseColor, specularColor, shininess);
The ambient color argument specifies the shape's color when lit by ambient light: this gives the object a uniform color. The emissive color contributes the color that the shape produces (as for a light bulb); frequently, this argument is set to black (equivalent to off). The diffuse color is the color of the object when lit, with its intensity depending on the angle the light beams make with the shape's surface.
TIP: The diffuse and ambient colors are often set to be the same, which matches the way real-world objects are colored when lit.
The intensity of the specular color parameter is related to how much the shape reflects from its shiny areas. This is combined with the shininess argument, which controls the size of the reflective highlights.
TIP: The specular color is often set to white, matching the specular color produced by most objects in the real world.
Checkers3D, there are two directional lights, which create two shiny patches on the top of the floating sphere (see Figure 15-1). The floor tiles are unlit since their color is set in the shape's geometry (more on this later in the chapter).
The code in
floatingSphere( ) that handles the sphere's appearance is shown here:
Color3f black = new Color3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
Color3f blue = new Color3f(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.8f);
Color3f specular = new Color3f(0.9f, 0.9f, 0.9f); // near white
Material blueMat= new Material(blue, black, blue, specular, 25.0f);
Appearance blueApp = new Appearance( );
Positioning a shape is almost always done by placing its scene graph node below a
TransformGroup (see the sphere
Group in Figure 15-3). A
TransformGroup can be used to position, rotate, and scale the nodes which lie beneath it, with the transformations defined with Java 3D
Transform3D objects:
Transform3D t3d = new Transform3D( );
t3d.set( new Vector3f(0,4,0)); // place at (0,4,0)
TransformGroup tg = new TransformGroup(t3d);
tg.addChild(new Sphere(2.0f, blueApp));
// set the sphere's radius and appearance
// and its normals by default
set( ) method positions the sphere's center at (0, 4, 0) and resets any previous rotations or scalings.
set( ) can be used to scale and rotate while resetting the other transformations. The methods
setTranslation( ),
setScale( ), and
setRotation( ) only affect the given transformation.
Unlike some 3D drawing packages, the y-axis in Java 3D is in the vertical direction, while the ground is being defined by the XZ plane, as shown in Figure 15-4.
The position of the sphere is
Checkers3D is set to be (0, 4, 0), which places its center four units above the XZ plane.

-The latest on Cliff Lee comes from Buster Olney of ESPN.com, who says Lee is available and the Rangers are pretty much the only team that makes any sense. I've seen conflicting reports about Lee going anywhere, but Joel Sherman from the New York Daily News agrees that Lee to the Rangers is a possbility.
I still think it's a long shot that Lee gets dealt, although Olney makes a point that some of the groundwork has already been laid from the possibility of Cole Hamels being dealt earlier this month, before he signed his new contract. The parameters wouldn't change too much, although we know the cost-issues brought on by the $87.5 million Lee is owed over the final three seasons of his contract.
And also, does it send a good message to the fans and to other players around the league if the Phillies trade Lee yet again? Not saying it wouldn't be the correct move – it would be if the proper prospects are included from Texas and they take on enough of his salary – however, they want to keep Hamels happy and they've made it clear they're building around starting pitching.
Jim Bowden of ESPN says Mike Olt, everyone's favorite minor league third baseman, would have to be involved in any deal with Lee.
-Joe Blanton to the Orioles is an interesting scenario that has gained traction today. CBSSports.com reports that there is interest coming from Baltimore as the O's look to give a shot of life to their rotation, which has struggled. As we know, Blanton is a free agent at the end of the year and the Orioles are looking to make a push at the wild card in the American League.
-Count the Orioles among a few other teams looking for outfield help as well. Juan Pierre's name has popped up on their radar, and you can include the Reds attempting to get involved for Pierre, too. Cincinnati has long been a suitor for Shane Victorino, but his name has cooled off a bit today. That, as we know, can change instantly.
-Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com says the Phillies also have interest in Shin Soo Choo from the Cleveland Indians, and Padres third baseman Chase Headley. Rosenthal notes that they could use prospects from other trades to pick up these players.

A Lee trade makes sense. And Choo would solidify LF, making a Victorino trade more likely, platooning Pierre and Mayberry in CF. Though, it may be time to call up Dom Brown and let him actually play through his issues.
Brown's issues have almost always been staying on the field the past two seasons. It's been one injury after another.
Pierre is far removed from playing centerfield.
A Lee deal is going to be difficult because unless Rangers take on overwhelming share of the salary there is little upside to the Phils. They have to dump a lot of salary to retool and I don't see anyone picking up that amount now. If they do I don't see getting Olt and let's remember he is just a prospect.
Pierre should net some prospects but I doubt any big ones.
Blanton and Pence should net the most followed by Victorino.
I agree on Lee. Pierre will probably net one prospect, and no more; probably someone very low on the prospect totem pole. They did well on the Thome deal to get one decent guy, so I doubt they'll do better with Pierre.
Blanton and Victorino likely won't net much either, being two month rentals. Pence is the only guy with any real value.
Ive been wanting this trade and it makes sense. The angels forced the Rangers hand. Unless they want to after JJ, who hasnt been anything spectaculr. Hell, from what Ive read, he worries the couts because of A) that mystery shoulder injury B) the consistency and C) his ERA. JJ *looks* solid because the market is empty right now. I say make this trade and get Olt, Martin and third to be named (maybe profar? lol)
Please tell us Hunter Pence is staying in Philadelphia.
I will never forgive them if they trade Lee again. Granted, he's not having the best season, but AGAIN?! No. I won't mind losing Pence with the way he's been so scattered this year, and sad to see Vic go, but I don't see us keeping him either. But Lee? No…I can't accept that again. 🙁
Agreed. It's not Lee's fault his season is going so bad. He is pitching well, maybe not like in 09, but still really good. It's the run support. Same thing that happened to Hamels a few years back. Keep Lee, and try and get as much as possible for Pence, and Victorino. Even Pierre and Wiggington. Just keep Lee and get some bats.
Absolutely trade Cliff Lee….Rangers have to make a move and now is the time as they too have an aging veteran core. They have position players in the minors to fill Hamilton's void in the offseason. Any trade must include Profar & 2/3 of the follwing (Olt/Martin/Perez). Keep Pence, trade Vic, Blanton, Wiggington, Pierre, and for god sakes, bring up Brown and give him a legitimate shot. I think he will be a player in the MLB, he just needs a fair shake at it!
The Rangers have too many prospects to not shop Lee… Greinke, a rental, netted the Brewers THREE of their top 10 prospects including Jean Segura. If the Phillies could snag Profar and Olt, you do it without thinking twice. If you can get one of those two and an arm… Cody Buckel or maybe Neftali Feliz who is experiencing some elbow soreness and could be a buy low candidate, you consider it. That's my $0.02.
Cliff Lee might be traded!!……again!!!! Oh, boo hoo hoo….
People….get a grip. Trades are sometimes a necessary part of running a sports franchise. Life WILL go on.
I agree with you but I don't think you should sell low on Cliff Lee… he's still an ace and he's under control. Pence is the only guy I move without reservation… I like Pence but he's going to cost us a lot of money next year and I think we can replace one year of Pence easier than we can replace four years of Lee.
It's funny to see how MLB TradeRumors has turned into PHILLIES TRADE RUMORS after the sweep this weekend.
The rangers won't give the phillies olt for lee. Maybe for
Zack. A young pitcher. You guys are crazy
Jeff – Zack has more upside than Lee but Lee is under control… Zack is a rental (he will most likely leave for free agency after this season).
Jeff, Olt is far from a guarantee. 24 yr old in AA playing in a hitters league striking out a ton. Texas needs to get over the hump instead of being the bridesmaid each year! No way they get past LAA without a pitcher like Lee.
OCP – from what I've read I think there's maybe a zero percent chance that the Phillies would get Olt AND Profar.
I recognize that… that's why I said "IF" they offer Profar and Olt (which they likely won't). The Rangers haven't really been willing to offer Profar but I think they would consider moving him… I think that Rangers can afford to lose one of those two but maybe not both but it wouldn't hurt to ask. Profar, a shortstop, is blocked by a young all-star (Andrus). Olt is older and perhaps more MLB ready and he fills a need for us… it is a given that any deal contains Olt. If the Rangers want to match up with the Angels, they NEED Lee. There is no other pitcher out there that can make an impact in the postseason like Lee. And he's under control for a while so the Rangers could build around him.
Absolutely can't sell low on Lee….I agree. Especially considering how that deal went down a few years ago and the fact that you don't want to weaken your rotation with Halladay showing some signs of regression. However, if you can get Olt or Profar (I've heard Profar is untouchable?) and maybe two other legit prospects then I think you have to pull the trigger.
Profar is the #1 prospect and TX will NOT deal him. But Olt, Martin and Perez are expendable considering the depth TX has.
I just think the Rangers need to make a bold move and IMO they need Lee more than we necessarily need to move him. I do not fault Ruben for the moves he made because he made moves to improve the team to win now in past years. This year is a perfect example for us Phillie fans that nothing is a guarantee and you need to play for the moment.
Perfectly stated, Jon.
Ok and lee is having a horrible year and will make more on
The books for the next three seasons then any pitcher. Crazy.
Great deal ruin
Horrible year is a bit harsh. Considering the team scores nothing for him has to be taken into consideration. Still one of the top LHP in baseball and definitely a guy I would want on the mound in the playoffs.
Jeff, what are your suggestions for fixing this team?
Get rid of pence. To much money for a horrible fielder and free swinger. Bring Brown up now. Trade Lee and swing those prospects to padres for headly. Move utley to left and galvis to second. Get Blanton out for a middle reliever. Keep Shane in center. Bring back mad dog next season for the 8 th. we can find cheap pitching around doc and cole.
Jeff, that's actually not a bad plan. It probably won't happen but it kinda makes sense.
I wasnt big on Galvis from get go. He grew on me just a little. However, not enough that i want him as a starter, not with his questionable bat. Galvis however can fill the role of Martinez. I would like to see if his bat improves after a full season of MLB. With a already weak offense we cant afford to have a starter with a possible BA hovering around .225. Even more so if the Phils decide to tender Polly's 2013 option, which may be a real possibility.
"Brian" above, said it perfectly – "Profar is the #1 prospect and TX will NOT deal him. But Olt, Martin and Perez are expendable considering the depth TX has."
Texas could potentially lose Hamilton and Napoli … Cruz can't stay healthy.. Young isn't getting any younger . . . the time for them to go for it is now… the runner-up from the past two seasons, nobody would blame them for trading expendable pieces to bring in a legit ACE …. I don't think money is a big issue for them either as they have a mega TV deal – which I believe was the basis for why the Phillies are expecitng a megs TV deal- and also aren't worried about the luxury tax (besides THIS season).
Young isn't getting any younger and Olt is getting older. The Rangers are a mess.
Lee has been bad. Giving up 4 homers in a game. He is very
Hittable. How bout the lead in the playoffs
Jeff I like the Madson idea if he can prove he's healthy. After the way things have gone this year, count me all in for Mad Dog.
BUT- No more than a two year deal, he couldn't even get more than one year last offseason. If he wants more then I'd say no, not that anyone in the Phils F.O. gives a crap what I think.
A good reason not to trade Lee came from the Cole Hamels press conference.
Hamels: "Having Doc and Cliff, they are a big part of why I want to be here, to be with two of the best pitchers in baseball and be able to go out there and have the confidence that you're playing with guys who are the most talented pitchers in baseball, you can learn a lot from them and you can feed off them. And I think all three of us, we can feed off of each other. And when we get rolling, I think we have the confidence that no one can stop us."
Did Amaro make Cole any promises about not trading Lee to get him to sign?
If Ruben made a promise to Cole that he wouldn't trade Cliff then he's pretty stupid. And Cole would be stupid to ask that of Ruben in the first place. However, I get why a certain player might want some sort of reassurances that the team he's signing with is serious about contending for the next several years….that's not weird or wrong at all. But to have some sort of guarantee that a aprticular teammate is staying put seems over the top to me.
RAJ also promised Lee's wife that he wouldn't trade him again. It doesn't really matter though, that contract is impossible to trade without picking up a major portion of it.
Would you really put that past Ruben? I wouldn't
And just after I write that, I switch screens, and Jayson Stark is reporting a Lee trade with Texas is "not going to happen"
Saw the same thing.
Least of all evils?
"In three starts at Camden Yards, he is 2-1 with a 6.27 ERA and has allowed four homers in 18 2/3 innings.
In his career against the AL East – including the Orioles – he is 11-15 with a 5.18 ERA in 39 starts, and has served up 33 homers in that span. The only team he has a winning record and sub-5.00 against in the division is the Toronto Blue Jays (4-2, 3.48 ERA in eight games)".
Numbers from Dan Connolly, Baltimore Sun.
The trade seems like it will go down, but seems is in the sentence because Joe just doesn't seem like a Dan Duquette sort of guy.
We'll see.
If the Phil's can get Schoop for Blanton that would be a great deal. Anoth young SS/2B prospect.
What do you like about him? Just that he's a prospect, or something in particular about him?
I was looking at some numbers of his year with Bowie. Month by month, he's been upticking his extra basehits.
70 batting average point discrepancy in favor of facing lefties (.290 V .220).
Some report I read in this jumbled news day indicated the O's want the Phils to pay some of Joe's salary. Must be the old if you want this particular proispect, you have to pay.
If the Phils are to consider dealing Cliff in the offseason, here's something that might be a factor. And frankly, since I'm stabbing for truth here, might not be a factor at all.
My understanding is Cliff submits a list of 8 teams he can be traded to each year.
Frequent rumors would have you believe the Yanks and Rangers are on the "okay 8 list."
Today, stories circulated about how he doesn't want to leave, and all that warm fuzzy stuff.
If he wants to stay so badly, why does the 2012 list include 2 of the few clubs that could seemingly afford him?
Sometimes, players have partial no trades so they can renegotiate with suitors with money.
Like a no trade to the Yanks doesn't mean you hate the Big Apple, it means you know you can get some extra caishe if they want you.
Cliff could apply a similar strategy by allowing for 8 clubs with zero chance of affording him,
or wanting him based on cycle of rebuild making it virtually impossible to be traded. Da Stros, the Padres, the A's, Pirates, Reds, Brewers, Orioles, Indians, Mariners, Cubs might have been a good list for 2012 based on economics et al to insure he wouldn't be dealt. Not exactly a No way, Jose list within the scope of anything's possible, but hardly likely.
I'm sure he could project 8 very unlikely teams that would want him in 2013 for next year's list.
Might force the Phils, if they are going to try to reduce salary to look elsewhere on the roster to do so, if his list has to be submitted early enough in the offseason. For now, and until that date, it would APPEAR that he might have included 8 teams he wouldn't mind playing for, which if he's that gung ho to keep wearing the red pinstripes (which hopefully he is) he still has control of his own destiny with this strategy.
It might come down to how early a new list might be due, and how well Cliff can make his 2013 predictions.
I know you can't get enough of the Sarge!

Patriots pound Rams in London
Tom Brady throws for 4 TDs
Tom Brady threw four touchdowns passes as New England hammered St. Louis in the rain at London's Wembley Stadium.
Brady threw a pair of scoring passes to Brandon Lloyd and two more to tight end Rob Gronkowski, the 50th time that Brady has thrown for at least three TD passes in a game. Brady finished 23-for-35 for 304 yards, helping New England (5-3) remain on top of the AFC East.
St. Louis (3-5) actually led 7-0 after Sam Bradford fired a 50-yard touchdown pass to Chris Givens to cap the game's opening possession, but the Rams managed little else in losing its third straight game. New England had allowed at least 20 points in six straight games.
Stevan Ridley led all rushers with 127 yards on 15 carries as New England set an NFL record with at least 350 total yards in each of its last 17 games.
New England put the game away by halftime, leading 28-0 on touchdown receptions from Lloyd and Gronkowski and 1-yard TD runs by Ridley and Shane Vereen. Gronkowski led all receivers with eight catches for 146 yards.
Game notebook: Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez missed the game with an ankle injury. ... Givens left the game after suffering a toe injury in the first quarter but returned later. ... The Patriots have won four straight over the Rams, including a 20-17 victory in Super Bowl XXXVI on Feb. 3, 2002. ... Rams leading receiver Danny Amendola did not play. He was questionable still recovering from the effects of a broken clavicle injury. ... It was the Rams' first game in London. The Patriots defeated Tampa Bay 35-7 at Wembley Stadium in 2009.

Turnout exceeds 55 percent in Wisconsin recall

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Turnout for the historic Wisconsin recall election will be more than 55 percent.
About 2.5 million people cast ballots Tuesday, which would be about 58 percent of eligible voters statewide. Republican Gov. Scott Walker defeated Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in a race that was watched throughout the country.
The Government Accountability Board had predicted that up to 65 percent of eligible voters would go to the polls.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Because I still dont get how it fully works
The explanation that helps me understand gets a +rep from me! Thanks!
it effects not only all 5 senses of a human body
I think of Groundhog Day when I think of Izanami.
Not sure if it helps or not, but that's all I got.

Yeah......no. Thanks for trying!
Uhm... I know it was created to stop Uchiha's from spamming Izanagi all the time. From what I got out of it, if anyone has identity problems, such as Kabutomaru, then that puts under a genjutsu that is an endless loop until they find their own identity. That's probably way off, but that's what I understand it as.
I dont know how to say it any clearer than Itachi how said it ;
Once you decite to use it you need to ;
Spot a moment, where you're aware of your chakra / senses but also your opponent's chakra and sense ;
- this mean that you need to have a moment where you can exactly tell how you and your opponent were feeling like
- In Itachi vs Kabuto's care, Itachi had that moment when he engaged in close quarters with Kabuto when he cut his horn off
From this point on, Itachi's goal was do have the very same situation happen again so that he would be able to connect the first time he had that situation happen with the second one.
How exactly does the ''connecting'' work, i have no idea. But what happens is that Izanami stucks the victim inside those ''Identic situation'' until the victim decides to accept his true self.
It also seems not everybody is vulnerable to such technique, Kabuto was although, and it seems that any Izanami user also is, so it would mean Obito also is... and given the circumstances of his devellopement, i'd have to agree that Obito doesnt belong to where he is just like Kabuto didnt belong there either, which is why Itachi wanted to cast Izanami on him so that he wouldnt fool himself and follow a path that isnt his.
Narutopedia Izanami.
Basically, If you deny something, Izanami puts into a loop to relive that moment you're denying.
Izanagi.. Is a redo. You f up, try again. Reality is you died, but izanagi lets you redo. Soo.. Izanami throws you into a loop until you accept the fact you died. Izanami keeps Izanagi in check.
How does it work?
Pretty much he uses his Sharingan to read everything. His opponent's body and the users body. Like a photograph. He finds another moment in time like that, and takes another picture.
With that, he's loops them together.
Take this for example:
( <---- If put that with this ----> )
We'll have circle O(Actually an oval.) No matter which way you go in that circle, you'll still be going in a circle.

Allegiance joins forces with Maritz Research to create new company, MaritzCX
Updated with quotes from Carine Clark, CEO of MaritzCX.
Allegiance, the South Jordan-based enterprise feedback company, was purchased by Missouri-based Maritz Research Inc., a sales and marketing service provider. The new company, MaritzCX, will be headquartered in utah and run by Allegiance CEO Carine Clark.
MaritzCX will combine the market research of Martiz Research and the Voice of Customer software technology platform of Allegiance. The merger was motivated by a gap in the industry, the companies said in a statement.
"We have enjoyed a terrific partnership with Maritz for over two years," Clark said. "Customers kept saying we should come together more formally by integrating the technologies. So Maritz came to us early in the year and said, 'We'd like to see if we could build this together.'"
Maritz felt that Allegiance fit their culture and style, Clark said. Because of this and their respect for Allegiance's leadership team, they asked Clark to head up the new company.
MaritzCX will be headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, and will employ 100 employees locally and 800 other employees in 18 worldwide offices.
"To be part of a $200 million plus company, all of the sudden I have the scale that I crave," Clark said in a phone interview. "To be with a partner that has such a wonderful pedigree, it's super exciting. It means little Allegiance is part of a much bigger playing field."
MaritzCX will serve 500 clients and 1 million users in 100 countries, Clark said.
The company plans on doubling their Utah office and expanding to new office space as they grow.

Health/Life Safety (HL S)
Web-Based H/L S Processing System
The Illinois State Board of Education has developed a new web-based Health/Life Safety (H/L S) Processing System. Via ISBE's web portal known as IWAS, the new H/L S Processing System allows users external to ISBE to create and submit ten year survey and amendment data, annual inspection reports, and annual ROE reports for school district buildings maintained in a facility inventory listing.
Health/Life Safety Processing System Instruction Manual
There are several key benefits that the H/L S Processing System offers:
- Freedom of access with the 24/7 ability to create documents, approvals and updates by the Architect, School District, Regional Superintendent and ISBE can occur 24/7.
- Improved communication due to comment fields, and 24/7 online inquiry of information.
- Improved coordination between Architects, School Districts, Regional Superintendents and ISBE because documents are easily searched and found, and questions are easily answered by 24/7 inquiry.
- Enhanced monitoring of document status via detailed electronic tracking of ten year survey and amendment data, annual inspection reports, annual Regional Superintendent reports documents.
- Time savings provided by various features, including but not limited to:

During the years that Spain prospered under the rule of the Muslim Moors, other influences were affecting the rest of the European continent.
By about 1100 A.D., Gothic architecture became symbolic of Christian Europe. After the Reconquest of Spain by Christian forces in 1492, Gothic elements were incorporated into Spanish architecture.
Gothic Characteristics
Ethereal towers and spires were hallmarks of Gothic religious architecture, with an emphasis on verticality as representative of reaching toward Heaven. Light, delicacy of form, exaggerated height, and airy spaciousness reflected concepts associated with the Divine. Ornamental windows began to be placed above the main façade of the church.
Rooflines and gable ends were ornamented by finials or pinnacles, arches were used to support ceilings and create window openings, and buttresses were used to support the weight of roof vaults. Gothic fortresses incorporated many of these elements, but due to their military role they retained their massive walls, battlements, limited window exposure, outer curtain walls, and many other protective features.
Both religious houses and castles included enclosed spaces open to the sky. Religious cloisters containing plantings and water features were surrounded by arched walkways, and were used as serene retreats in the same way that the Romans and the Moors used their inner gardens. Castle dwellers used the open areas enclosed by curtain walls for a variety of daily activities.
Gothic fortresses
Many Spanish Colonial frontier missions (including Espiritu Santo) incorporated elements from Gothic fortifications.
Sometimes called Fortress Monasteries, these institutions required functional safety before ornamentation. Tall protective curtain walls with limited entry points provided protection in case of attack. The buildings featured tall, solid walls several feet in thickness. Windows were usually high and covered with grillwork to protect the people within. Walls and roof edges could be embattled with merlons and crenels, which provided useful protection in the event of an attack.
The straight-forward stone and mortar construction methods used to build Gothic fortifications provided excellent hands-on experience for New World populations unfamiliar with European building techniques. Novice builders also benefited from the fact that Spanish Colonial architects preferred to use ratios during the planning and construction process. For example, rooms of a certain length were automatically assigned a corresponding width, and walls of a particular height were required to be of a specific thickness.
Mission's Gothic influence
Aside from the box-like buildings, other Gothic influences at Mission Espiritu Santo can be noted in the cupola atop the bell tower dome, the finials on the upper corners of the church and above the doorway entablature, the stepped buttresses lining the outside of the chapel walls, and the barrel vault in the chapel.
The simple Gothic layout of the church at Espiritu Santo is representative of a classic Franciscan monastic style church. It has no aisle, no transept and no flanking chapels and the choir loft is located above the entrance. The apse is polygonal, and contains the altar screen. The simple barrel vault consists of four bays divided by three transverse arches.
The arches are mirrored by exterior stepped buttresses, which prevent the walls from sagging outwards under the weight of the barrel vault. An ornamental window above the choir loft admits light and air into the interior of the chapel, as do high clerestory windows located along the north and south walls of the nave.
The final installment in this series will address architectural development after the Spanish Conquest of the New World.

House Call Physicians working to bring cost containment home
- published_in
- Print Edition
House Call Physicians in Longmont is helping the practice make a comeback.
Doctors have seen 1,800 people up and down the Front Range in the past 3 1/2 years, according to Brian Mathwich, founder of the practice. House Call Physicians PC focuses on seniors and disabled patients who live at home.
Because of House Call Physicians and his caregiver, a 90-year-old patient with a surgical wound that has not healed in a year and a half is looking forward to his annual five-month trip to Arizona rather than a stay in the hospital, said Rohini Kanniganti, his doctor.
The patient is not able to drive because he has macular degeneration, meaning he can't see well, Kanniganti said. The patient's surgical wound remains, after he had a kidney removed a year and a half ago when doctors found he had kidney cancer.
But his female partner is taking care of the wound and it's not getting worse, Kanniganti said. The man's name and his partner's name were not released for privacy reasons.
"We look after very sick people who are maybe in the last five years of their lives," Kanniganti said. "I feel deeply honored to work with them. It teaches me about what it means to become old."
The patient also has high blood pressure and anemia, Kanniganti said. She checks the man's laboratory results frequently to make sure he is as healthy as he can be, given all of his health problems. For example, if his sodium levels are too low, it would be easier for the patient to get dizzy and fall in his house, Kanniganti said.
"He is not able to drive or go out on his own," Kanniganti said, "but he otherwise reports that he has been doing very well."
The patient is just one of hundreds that Kanniganti and other doctors at the practice see on a regular basis. House Call Physicians appears to be the only practice of its kind in northern Colorado, Mathwich said. Based in Longmont, it serves patients from Fort Collins to Littleton.
While the privately held business does not release revenue numbers, it generally relies on fee-per-visit payments from Medicare, said Richard Gianzero, the company's business development manager. In general, Medicare reimburses doctors about 30 percent less than do private insurance companies.
A new, federal Independence at Home trial program may increase competition for such patients and programs, Mathwich said. The three-year trial program focuses on health care for patients in their homes, he said.
The trial program is part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed by Congress in 2010. It has a goal of reducing Medicare costs for health care for seniors.
While House Call Physicians is not participating in Independence at Home, Mathwich predicts it would continue whether a Republican or Democrat was elected to the White House.
"We're going to save money and keep people out of the hospital and the emergency room," Mathwich said.
House Call Physicians also offers other health services.
Mathwich contracts with a behavioral health team, an ophthalmologist, a podiatrist and other service providers. The business can offer X-rays, nursing and physical therapists, outsourced from another company.
"We're offering more services to our home patients because they can't get out to get those services, and then they end up needing them in the emergency room after an ambulance ride," Mathwich said. "We're trying to become a solutions provider."
When doctors visit patients in their homes, they're able to check potential misuse of medications much more easily, Gianzero said. They're also able to meet with family members more readily, Kanniganti said.
Checking for potential fall risks also is an important part of seeing a patient at home, Gianzero said. Nationally, 2.2 million patient falls were reported to Medicare in 2011, with more than 20,000 injury-related deaths, he said.
"In this fashion, with the high-risk population, you can help avoid predictable emergencies," Gianzero said. "And from a financial perspective, Medicare sees that this type of practice does save the system money."
Gianzero did not have statistics to back up the money-saving claim.
But patients also see numerous informal benefits not captured by statistical costs, Kanniganti said. Such home doctor visits can be a major factor in deciding whether a patient can stay at home or must move to an assisted-living facility or nursing home, for example, she said. Such facilities can cost individuals and government programs more money.
"It's really wonderful for them to be in their homes — to be familiar with a place they can function in," Kanniganti said.
Senior patients who are able to stay in their homes are less likely to deal with depression and the feeling of a loss of independence from moving to a care facility. Kanniganti said that also can save money.

Spending cuts benefit Vermont's small airports
MORRISVILLE Vermonts small airports are benefiting from the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration because the federal government is funding some projects that were designed, had permits in place and contractors chosen.
Its actually very good for Vermont because we had a lot of shovel-ready projects, said Guy Rouelle, aeronautics administrator at the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
That means the Morrisville Stowe Airport will get $3.85 million to resurface the runway for the first time since 1978 and the Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional Airport will get two grants totaling $4.5 million to expand safety areas and do other projects.
The Rutland airport has three commercial flights a day in addition to charter flights and general aviation.
This safety expansion project hopefully will attract more private jet traffic to the area, Christopher Beitzel, Rutland airport manager said.
Rouelle said that in most years Vermonts nine state-owned airports receive about $210,000 each from two federal programs.
Earlier this year the U.S. Department of Transportation changed its rules for distributing discretionary funding. Officials went looking for projects that were ready to go so they could get the money out the door fast.
At the Morrisville-Stowe airport, the pavement is cracked and bumpy.
This project absolutely needs to happen and the state has done the legwork to make it happen, said David Whitcomb, the owner of the company that is the fixed base operator at the Morrisville airport.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

text: My son is 13 months now, and nursing early am, before an afternoon nap when at home, and at bedtime. When I am at work (4 days/week), I pump during his nap time. I'd like to cut out the afternoon session, but I get so full during the day and I'm afraid if I don't pump, I will lose supply. Does anyone nurse just morning and night?


text:
OK. I know that this is a common thread, but I'm really in a bind. My lo is 4.5 months and I know my supply is dwindling. I just tried to pump and I got less than 1 oz. She has maybe 10 gulps and then she detaches from the breast and tries to re-attach several times but doesn't seem to be getting anything.
She started sleeping through the night really early (about 1.5-2 months) but it's only been in the past 2 weeks that I've noticed any difference in the supply. She's even started waking up at night for feedings. To make matters worse, I'm working part-time and have a toddler, so I don't have a lot of time to sit around and pump.
Everyone is telling me to start solids, but I think it's too early. The same thing happened with my son, and I finally succumbed to solids around 5.5 months - but it was a REALLY stressful month before I gave in. I don't want to put her through that. Any suggestions?

The video featured Dr. Dre cruising around L.A in his "six fo'," -- a 1964 Chevy -- and making the front end of his car jump up a down with hydraulics by "hittin' the switches."
Best lyrics:
Back in the days, when I used to have to get my stroll on
Did nobody wanna speak
Now everybody
Peeping out they window when they hear me beatin' up the street
Is it Dre?
Is it Dre?
That's what they say
Every single day in L.A
No. 3: "Radar Love" by Golden Earring
In 2005, the BBC car show "Top Gear" named "Radar Love" the second greatest driving song of all time. But it and "Highway Star" were the only songs on the top five list that were actually about driving.
It's easy to guess that many speeding tickets have been received by drivers over the years because of this song. Everything about it makes you want to drive fast, from its opening lines -- "I've been driving all night, my hand's wet on the wheel" -- to its rising tempo, methodic bass lines and easy-to-sing-along-with chorus.
Best lyrics:
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
No. 2: "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys
The Beach Boys sang about cars almost as often as they did about surfing and beach life.
Classics like "409," "Fun, Fun, Fun," "Shut Down" and "Little Deuce Coupe" are all about cars. Aside from their music, the Beach Boys' iconic image of easy-going, free-wheeling surfers helped cement the group as one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.
"I Get Around" is perhaps their best song about cars because it captures that image perfectly. While not about a specific ride like in some of their other songs, "I Get Around" is more about the cruising lifestyle they helped popularize and captures their laid back California mentality.
Best lyrics:
We always take my car 'cause its never been beat
And we've never missed yet with the girls we meet
None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn't be right
To leave their best girl home now on Saturday night
No. 1: "Little Red Corvette" by Prince
If you listen closely, "Little Red Corvette" is actually not about a car at all, but about a woman and a one-night stand. The Purple One wasn't the first to use a car as a metaphor for a woman in a song, but he did it better than anyone before or since.
"Little Red Corvette" is one of Prince's best known songs and helped launch him to superstar status in 1983. It was his first song to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the accompanying music video was one of the first on MTV to feature an African-American artist.
The lyrics are Prince at his sexually-suggestive best, and hardly a line passes without the use of a double entendre or layered metaphor. Some have interpreted the lyrics, including the title, of being so dirty that if Tipper Gore had listened closely she would have been much more horrified at "Little Red Corvette" than she was when she heard "Darling Nikki" and launched her crusade to censor song lyrics.
Best lyrics:
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And you say, baby, have you got enough gas?
Oh yeah

Trade expert says European Union matters
Posted on May 09, 2014
An author and trade expert said, "When the European Union coughs, the U.S. catches cold," while describing the strong connection between the United States and European Union, during remarks at the 29th World Trade Week Business Conference May 8. The event was co-hosted by Grand Valley State University's Van Andel Global Trade Center as part of World Trade Week.
The remarks were made by keynote speaker John McCormick, author of "Why Europe Matters," and Jean Monnet Professor of European Union Politics at the Indianapolis campus of Indiana University. The theme of the conference, held at the L. William Seidman Center, was "European Markets on the Rise."
McCormick said the European Union is significant for the United States. "It is the most important international, political, economic and monetary relationship in the world by size, by reach and by political significance," he said.
McCormick said the United States and the European Union together have the biggest share of world trade at one-third, and account for 75 percent of global spending and half of the global gross domestic product (GDP). He said the European Union has several problems to address including out-of-control debt, a large trade deficit, an under-performing education system, a large gap between the rich and poor and an addiction to fossil fuels.
The conference also included breakout sessions on topics like new exporters, advanced global businesses and emerging market trends. Experts shared information on strategies, opportunities and resources available to help businesses increase international sales.
