Lol? "almost everything" is what exactly? Kabuto told him that he heals instantly, blocked his vision and he can liquify his body. From the moment they started fighting he was preparing Izanagi for the simple fact that was an 100% way to stop Kabuto's movements(Itachi states that Izanagi was the easiest way to stop Kabuto so that he could use Tsukuyomi on him) AND Itachi was already dead anyway so him losing his eye was meaningless to him.

first off lets look at taijutsu shall we? whalst Kabuto is in DSM he has enhanced strength and sensory not to mention his surgical precision with chakra scalpel. Which even Tsunade noted as being highly impressive in her battle with Kabuto, then there is the fact that Kabuto has the healing capability's of Both Karin and Orochimaru leaving all physical attacks useless.
Then there is genjutsu because of Kabuto being able to fight blinded all genjutsu is rendered useless.
I am also seeing allot of of arguments weather Amaterasu could hit Kabuto or not I say it is possible but unlikely seeing as how easily Kabuto was able to avoid Sasuke's Susanoo arrow arguably his quickest attack.
Sasuke's fire based jutsu can be counter'd with Kabuto's water based jutsu, here you could count that as a draw. allthough Sasuke does have lightning based jutsu which can counter Kabuto's earth release which is a point to Sasuke.
as for the Susanoo there are 3 jutsu we know of in Kabuto's arsenal that could take care of it 1,white rage 2,organic manipulation(spikes could attack from underneath Susanoo to pearce Sasuke) and 3, Tayuya's genjutsu. All of these attacks leaving Sasuke wide open for a finishing blow.
I could add more to how/why Kabuto would defeat Sasuke without much difficulty but this should be more then enough proof.
Lol, Amaterasu is quicker than Susanoo Arrow. Do you not realize that with Amaterasu you only focus on the target and the attack is instant? Susanoo Arrow might be his strongest attack, but not the fastest by any means. Kabuto's taijutsu and sensory abilities are quite good, but does it matter? Taijutsu is not a factor given the facts that Sasuke fought the fastest ninjas, except Minato in battle. He already has experience. Sensing your attack is something valuable which can turn the tables in the fight, but Kabuto can't dodge forever. He was stuck when Sasuke used a Susanoo Arrow on him and he was using Sasuke's sword to free himself... Why didn't he shed his skin? He could of left the dead carcass hanging in the ceiling, but noooooooooooo he had to get the sword to liberate himself. The battle of course would be more complicated for Sasuke because of Kabuto's ability to regenerate himself with his healing abilities. Sasuke is no fool and he knows Kabuto's abilities quite well, so he wouldn't expect any less from Kabuto and he would know that the battle would lose quite some time. I never expected Kabuto to use Suiton, but yes it's true that normal fire attacks are rendered useless, but Sasuke has Raiton and Amaterasu. Raiton immobilizes water just the same Suigetsu was affected against Bee and the Summit.
Genjutsu is rendered useless and i won't argue there. Now for Kabuto to stop Sasuke's Susanoo that's easier said than done. He doesn't have any attacks that can shatter the Susanoo. He can make Sasuke withdraw through his senses and inability of using his eyes, but that's about it. White Rage takes prep and you know that very well. Sasuke's attack are 1 KO's literally, so he had to be careful when facing Kabuto. Now if Sasuke went relentless. I bet you that he could of prevented the attack from even activating. The dragon needs to coil itself in the orb and it's not an instant attacks that can immobilize you. I don't see how that attack will work on your favor. Muki Tensei has a better chance seeing as how the surroundings change, but Kabuto wouldn't know how to use Muki below the Susanoo to reach Sasuke. Only Gaara was the one who came up with that technique. Kabuto used different methods stopping Susanoo, which was sound and light to bypass the Susanoo's defenses to reach Sasuke. I give props to Kabuto for coming with strategic plans to stop Susanoo it was clever. He also was able to dodge powerful attacks from both Uchiha brothers. Now the thing here is that Kabuto's liquefaction abilities would be rendered useless by Sasuke's Chidori. Kabuto would end up paralyze enough for Sasuke to give him an onslaught of attacks. Kabuto needs to make handseals in order to activate his medical ninjutsu which Sasuke can read handseals just through his own Sharingan. So he will know when will heal and at that moment he will prevent unless Kabuto makes Sasuke go through an obstacle. By the way Tayuya's genjutsu only worked because Itachi and Sasuke weren't looking forward and Kabuto took the chance to hit them while they weren't looking. So her genjutsu is useless.
none of dem stands a chance agaisnt nagato if he could walk. none :/

Invent the technique of dodging Amaterasu? Are you serious? All he did was run.

Kabuto sux. He had everything on his side to win n still lost so i agree with this thread.
What do u mean "...MIGHT win inside a cave"?... Kabuto already beat Sasuke, like 2ice over, now, had it not been for Izanami....
Btw, Sasuke never used tha oral thing.. That was a substitution tech, back at tha hideout

Lmao woah, that was funny...
Yup, superflyzzed's post ryt here just about sums up all tha credibility, I need to know about, for this thread
lol Kabuto has Reanimation. Sasuke isn't winning any day soon.
Lol NB must be filled with a lot of young minded people. I must be getting too old for this kind of stuff(well I know there are people out there worth debating with). Even though I have been following Naruto since the early 2000's. Its like with all the information given about abilities you would think people would just simply read and understand the logic that goes with them. People don't even understand that sound genjutsu is only special because its delivered by "sound" and it still has the same affects as a visual genjutsu. Nor do they realize Kabuto/Sasuke practically states that Kabuto had the field advantage hence the blinding/sound ability being majorly affective.
Kabuto still has the sound genjutsu.
Sasuke is unable to counter Kabuto's techs,
while Kabuto's techs are almost specifically made
to counter the Uchiha bro's.
Susanoo for defence = White rage or flute counter
Susanoo arrow = Dodge
Amaterasu = Dodge or oral rebirth
Enton = Dodge or oral rebirth
Genjutsu = Fight with eyes closed.
Physical attacks = Liquefy
White Rage = No counter
Demon flute = No counter
Inorganic transmutation = No counter/dodge if lucky?
Kabuto's water style > Sasuke's fire style.
You sound unrealistic saying white rage would have a no effect outside. It's
still going to have an effect nonetheless, which would give Kabuto an opening.
You must be having a laugh if you seriously believe that Sasuke, or even Itachi, stands a chance against Kabuto. With or without Edo Tensei Sasuke's attacks are rendered useless. Also it doesn't matter where the location is cause Kabuto is basically custom built to be a perfect match up against Uchihas.

Wow do you even understand genjutsu at all? The difference is that Kabuto used sound genjutsu to paralyze them enough for a frontal attack. Did it work at the end? Nooo! The reason Sasuke and Itachi got caught by the sound genjutsu was because they were hiding behind their backs, instead of looking at Kabuto. So he took the chance and trapped both Sasuke and Itachi. Now, if Sasuke fought Kabuto and he was trapped the same way. I will then say that Kabuto officially won the match.

True, but Sasuke was told by Itachi to be careful. So imagine to shoot a menacing arrow at an enemy without killing him? I believe the arrow Kabuto dodged was the one he shot near the ground. Sasuke caught Kabuto in the top of the cave and if he uses Amaterasu coated arrows. Kabuto is in deep trouble.
Either way, all three are formidable opponents. If they got into a fight at a battlefield where the odds were both against and for them, it would be a close battle. To determine whether or not whom would win said fight, determines on the fan's opinion and on what twists in the plot are in store

Well he did aim to kill Itachi although he was an Edo Zombie. Didn't he almost kill Sasuke with Muki Tensei? Anyways, he had the advantage thanks not only to his experimentation, but his location where the fight took place it amplified the powers he stole to intercept both Sasuke and Itachi. Besides the match was more Itachi vs Kabuto than Itachi and Sasuke vs Kabuto, because Sasuke barely contribute to the fight. He was just there to assist Itachi to help him have enough time for Izanami and save him a few times. You do realize Sasuke didn't use the Full Susanoo, Blaze Release: Magatama, Coated Arrows, he also had to prevent Kabuto from tagging Itachi, and he held more so than Itachi. Kabuto didn't look to me like he was holding back in this match. He was using all the Sound 5's powers, Orochimaru, Taka, and DSM. The only thing is that his jutsu's were less 1 KO's and he was careful in how to use them. Itachi and Sasuke had more complications because one it was the first time they fought as a team and second they had to capture Kabuto with genjutsu. In a way, Itachi was the one that complicated the match by telling Kabuto his intentions. I already said, Kabuto with Edo Tensei can beat the Uchiha's together or solo both of them. But alone without Edo's, Kabuto ultimately loses the match.

Re: Danica has a guaranteed spot for the Daytona 500?
Listen to his interview when he as much says he doesnt know why the car is slower then it was in practice? Perhaps the reason JGR didnt fight to keep him was because he simply isnt that good as he once was with Tony yrs ago, as Logano has alot of experience and yet did nothing to bragg about with Zippy, now did he??
Also using that "Danica is with a new team" is crap and you know it. Danica knows how to drive a track like Daytona as mentioned but she cant do much with a car that doesnt have the speed. Daytona is not a track where a driver has to do anything but hold their foot on the floor as Ryan even said in an interview. IF the car isnt fast--then its a car problem and Zippy clearly doesnt know whats wrong? Then of course a big worry is the overheating problem all of them with chevys are having.
My concen is Nascar and everyone is using Danica for all they can get from her, but the real Nascar fans who may be "on the fence" not knowing whether to like her or not, are seeing the negative side of this merger deal and the negative media people are just loving anything like buying her way in the Daytona 500 or now this poor qualifying effort to put her down. I just cant understand why she allows herself to be put in these situations as she clearly either has poor advisors or she isnt thinking it through or doesnt care, but a young Danica I watched with the fire to compete would never allow herself to be bought and sold like this merger deal, legal or not, or have a slow turtle of a car and just smile about it and tell the media its OK--thats crap.
Maybe Iam wrong for worrying about how she is perceived, but she represents other females and young ones whether she wants to or not and everything she does is under the microscope feeding ammunition to those wanting and hoping she fails. The bad part is when it gets so bad her sponsor starts suffering for it, and they dump her over it, will there be another ready to jump in? There is no Peak decal on her cars this yr that Ive seen so they already have cut funding for her apparently--whos next?
Its nice that some are defending Danica/SHR etc over all this and making excuses for a slow car etc, but it cant hide the reality of how she is looked at and thats the truth here? OH well --the bright spot Iam looking forward to is her NNS crew who does know how to give her a fast car for Daytona may be the best part of this Daytona weekend coming up?
BTW--I wont complain here anymore as it is what it is from here on out. Its her life and her career and if she cant see the problems then as a fan all I can do is wish her well and hope for the best regardless.

House advances gas tax increaseAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
The Legislature is considering a gas tax increase. Petitions and signs against the increase are all over the state, including at the Mobil pumps on South Main Street in Rutland.
MONTPELIER Politically challenging as it may be back home, House lawmakers gave preliminary approval Wednesday to a tax increase projected to add nearly 7 cents a gallon to gas prices this summer.
Higher prices in 2013 are only the beginning for motorists, who will see the new tax ratchet up alongside the price of unleaded if the legislation becomes law. For the first time ever, the gas tax will be calculated as a percentage of retail costs, a departure from the fixed surcharge of 19 cents per gallon used now.
While the controversial mechanism will help revenues keep pace with the rising cost of road and bridge maintenance, it also cost the fiscal year 2014 transportation bill, of which it is a provision, a few votes on the House floor Wednesday.
We are abdicating our responsibility as legislators, taking away the peoples voice and indexing a tax we will never again vote for, said Rep. Michael Marcotte, a Newport Republican who said he would have otherwise supported the higher gas tax.
Rep. Paul Poirier, a Barre independent, went so far as to call the indexing a cowards way out.
We should not be afraid to stand here and vote when we need to raise taxes, he said.
Poiriers charge was one to which Rep. Patrick Brennan, a Colchester Republican and chairman of the House Transportation Committee, took exception. He said the static nature of the gas tax is one of the primary reasons lawmakers find themselves facing the unpalatable task of raising rates on constituents this year.
I think its courageous, Brennan said. I think it looks to the future, I think it has foresight, and I think it ensures people wont have to make some of these tough decisions in the near future.
The $657 million transportation budget passed by an overwhelming margin thanks not only to almost unanimous support from Democrats but also to the 12 Republicans who joined them. Rep. Tom Koch, a Barre Town Republican, said he has no interest in raising the gas tax on voters in his district. But he said that the alternative is to vote no and let our roads and bridges deteriorate even further.
And I will not support that, Koch said.
The bill is scheduled for a final vote in the House today, after which it heads to the Senate. Senate President John Campbell said his body is convinced of the need for the new revenue but that hell be seeking explicit assurances the new money wont be diverted to uses other than transportation infrastructure.
Annual sales of unleaded gas are down 40 million gallons since 2005, a more than 15 percent decline driven by a combination of rising prices and the proliferation of fuel-efficient vehicles. Brennan said transportation revenues have suffered as a result and the state now risks losing out on nearly $60 million in federal money for lack of a state match.
Gov. Peter Shumlin in January proposed a 4 percent tax on the retail price of gas (minus state and federal tax). The House has made some tweaks, but Deputy Transportation Secretary Sue Minter said it achieves the result the administration was looking for.
When the tax is fully phased in the House version goes to a 2 percent tax this spring and jumps to the full 4 percent in June 2014 it is expected to raise close to $30 million annually. Based on projections from the Legislatures fiscal analysts, Brennan said, the estimated per-gallon impact at the pump will be 6.7 cents this year, 7.9 cents in fiscal year 2015 and 8.8 cents in fiscal year 2016.
The House has put a ceiling and floor on the gas tax, protecting state revenues against a steep decline in prices and insulating motorists from significant increases. The per-gallon assessment would top out at 19 cents, a limit that wont be reached unless prices hit $5.30 per gallon.
Though lawmakers are looking to impose the 4 percent tax on retail sales, the existing 19-cent-per-gallon excise tax wont go away entirely. When the entirety of the new tax is phased in, the excise tax is to fall to 13.9 cents. It will from then on be automatically adjusted every year based on the consumer price index.
We know we ask a lot of Vermonters to help us pay for the roads and bridges they use, and its never easy to ask for more, Minter said. But we also know that Vermonters expect improvement to their roads and bridges.
Republicans on Wednesday offered a raft of amendments that sought to eliminate the tax increase, remove the inflationary index or sunset the tax after one year. House Minority Leader Don Turner said each of the proposals, through a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases, would have delivered the money Vermont needs to avoid sending money back to Washington, D.C. Each failed by a wide margin.
We all understand the importance of our transportation infrastructure, Turner said. But we also understand working Vermonters are already getting hammered all over the place, so raising the gas tax is the last thing we want to look at.
Chiefly, Turner said, his caucus wants to purify the transportation fund, from which lawmakers currently take more than $50 million annually for purposes unrelated to upkeep of infrastructure. The transfers include nearly $28 million for the education fund and about $25 million for the Vermont State Police.
The Houses version of the bill would permanently reduce the annual transfer to public safety by $5 million over the next three years.
Public outcry over the proposal has taken a number of forms, including petitions urging lawmakers to say no to the gas tax on checkout counters at gas stations around the state.
On the floor of the House, Rep. Ron Hubert pulled an inches-thick pile of papers from a folder on his desk, saying it included the names of the 13,000 people who have signed the plea. He offered an amendment that would have minimized the need for new revenues by cutting entirely the $7.8 million subsidy to Amtrak. The amendment garnered only 15 yes votes.
Poirier, rarely an opponent of raising new revenues for government programs, said his colleagues are using the most regressive means at their disposal to generate the money needed for roads. Poorer Vermonters cant afford the newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles needed to minimize the impact of the assessment, he said, nor can they stop driving to work.
Many people in this room think, Whats 6 cents on the gas tax? Poirier said. Just try being in the seat of a family working for minimum wage, trying to make a car payment.

The newly-seated Sullivan County Legislature on January 26 voted to change the way it awards about $700,000 in room-tax revenue to promote tourism in the county. For the past 12 years, the legislature has negotiated with and awarded a yearly contract to the Sullivan County Visitors Association (SCVA).
Now, however, the legislature is issuing a request for proposals (RFP) and will be accepting proposals from SCVA and other organizations. The move prompted a parade of SCVA members to speak up during the public comment period at the monthly county meeting in Monticello.
Several members of the SCVA board said the timing of the change could be harmful to the tourism industry, which is the second largest industry in the county.
Stacy Cohen, owner of the Dancing Cat Saloon and Catskill Distillery, warned that issuing an RFP at this time would disrupt the production of promotional materials for the coming summer season, which are already being prepared. She said, "This is the only time that we have to put our marketing and advertising together for the summer."
Jill Wiener, proprietor of Earth Girl Pottery, echoed that idea. She said, "We are just in the midst of putting the final touches on our travel guide, which this year is expanded to have a whole new wedding and celebrations section, we're in the middle of putting together driving tours for the county; this is very badly timed."
Another criticism of the move was that it was not done in the open. Democrats in the legislature now outnumber Republicans seven to two; Republican legislator Alan Sorensen said that all of the discussion about SCVA and the RFP process was done in the Democratic caucus, and he had only learned about the vote an hour before the meeting started.
SCVA has about 300 members, and they were not invited to provide input regarding the matter. Laurie Stuart, publisher of The River Reporter, said, "I advocate that you take a look at the process, and that you include stakeholders, that you take a step back, that you table the resolution."
Kitty Vetter made a motion to table it, and that was defeated 4-5.
SCVA members were particularly upset to discover that a new non-profit organization, called Sullivan County Tourism & Promotion, registered with the state in December 2011 and with the county on January 25. The three signatories on the related paperwork all have strong connections to the county Democratic party: Bill Liblick is the chairman of the Liberty Democratic Committee, Neil Gilberg is a former county clerk and is now an Advocate for Business in the administration of Governor Cuomo in Albany, and Donna Schick is the secretary of the Sullivan County Democratic Committee.
Asked if the organization was going to submit an RFP, Liblick said, "I don't know."
There was also a discussion about whether an RFP was a legal requirement. County Attorney Sam Yasgur twice responded to questions from the lawmakers about that and said an RFP was one way to proceed, but there were other methods that could also be used.
Legislator Cindy Geiger said that she felt it was her obligation to open up the process to bidding to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used in the best way possible.
Roberta Byron-Lockwood, president and CEO of SCVA said the organization is funded by room-tax dollars, which come from visitors who come to the county, not by taxpayers who live in the county.
In the end, Democrats Jonathan Rouis and Ira Steingart joined Republicans Vetter and Sorensen in voting against the measure, while Democrats Geiger, Scott Samuelson, Cora Edwards, Kathy LaBuda and Gene Benson voted in favor.

My husband and I are proud parents of an amazing 13-month-old girl. She has never been a good sleeper. DH and I have tried all kinds of tricks: making the room warmer, cooler, moving up bedtime, moving back bedtime, creating a ritual, giving her lots of BM before bed. Nothing works. We both work full-time, and after a year of constant sleep-deprivation, decided to try a sleep consultant.
The sleep consultant thinks that night weaning is important to improving our child's sleep patterns. She notes that our daughter often suffers from confusional arousals (milder night terrors), indicating that she is sleep deprived. The consultant suggests we continue co-sleeping for half the night, but cut out all night nursings, and no longer allow my daughter to fall asleep on the breast. This is a key part of her plan.
I pump 10 oz. a day for my daughter to take at day care. She has refused cow's milk in a sippy, so far, so this is the only liquid she takes all day. I worry that, if we wean her at night, she will grow dehydrated and my supply will tank. DD is also a picky eater (the consultant feels that this will improve if she is no longer filling up on BM at night).
We have a friend who followed the consultant's advice, and her LO suddenly slept 11 straight hours. The mother did "fall off the wagon" during teething, though, and had to start the process all over again.
What are your thoughts on the relationship between night waking and night weaning? Has anyone found that it works? Do I need to worry about my supply, or trust that my DD will take to the sippy by necessity. (Related question: should I put cow's milk in a bottle for her, or what? Things are not going well in that area, either.) I had been hoping to stop pumping at 18 months, but if I'm not nursing her at night, either, then that would mean weaning her altogether, which I don't really want to do yet.
So confused! Thanks for your help!

Q. Why a mouse when it spins?
A. The higher the farther!
Notice it's not "Why is a mouse when it spins," and the answer isn't " The higher the fewer" either. Although both of those are common variants. I'm trying to find a source of the original quotation, which I thought was Lewis Carroll, but no one can find a vetted citation. Which is the correct phrase? Does it really matter? No. But I'm curious.
If you google Why a mouse..., you will see a bunch of references, including http://www.wordwizard.com/clubhouse/founddiscuss1.asp?Num=5902, and
All well and good; people are trying to take the query seriously. But the trail stops there, and I'm trying to go a step or two further back...any thoughts?
This board has wide exposure - anyone out there have an answer?

Never heard that one. Onliest one I know is:
Q: What's the difference between a duck?
A: One of its legs are both the same.

Wofa, you might try also posting this question on http://p066.ezboard.com/fwordoriginsorgfrm1. Dave Wilton runs a good, if somewhat cumbersome, message board.

Then there is the old and unanswerable question :
"What are Yonkers?"
For non-USns : Yonkers is a town near New York City.

Hmm. Never heard it before. It certainly sounds Carrollian (Why is a raven like a writing desk?), but I'm pretty well-read when it comes to old Charlie Dodgson, and it doesn't ring any bells.
Is it possibly a linguistics phrase demonstrating the opposite of the sentence "The gostak distims the doshes."? The "Gostak" sentence is an example of a sentence that parses perfectly well, but doesn't mean anything, while "Why a mouse" uses very simple vocab, but still has no meaning.
I thought there was a more canonical version of "understandable vocab, unintelligible parsing sentence", and there is: Noam Chomsky's "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." So, I'm at a dead end, but perhaps I've sparked someone else's brain?
In order to add further value to this fairly fact-free post, I'll toss in this joke that I found in my googling for the above sentences:
Rebecca: What's green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
Samuel: I don't know; what is green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
Rebecca: A herring.
Samuel: But ... a herring isn't green!
Rebecca: Nu, so you could paint it green.
Samuel: But a herring doesn't hang on the wall!
Rebecca: Nu, so you could hang it on the wall.
Samuel: But a herring doesn't whistle!
Rebecca: Nu, so a herring doesn't whistle.
(Nu = Yiddish expression, sort of the verbal equivalent of a shrug)

All these jokes have bunches of variants. The one I originally heard went
Speaker 1: What's green, hangs from a tree, and squeaks?
Speaker 2: I don't know. What's green, hangs from a tree, and squeaks?
S1: A herring.
S2: I don't get it.
S1: Can't you paint a herring green?
S2: Yes, but...
S1: Can't you hang a herring from a tree!
S2: Yes, but...
S1: So there you are!
S2: But what about the squeak?
S1: Oh, that was just to make it difficult!
Fap !!! And the ethnicity is totally irrelevant; substitute any name or class or stereotype you like and it changes nothing.
Some years ago there was a soft-porn low-resolution computer game called Leisure Suit Larry, followed by a small raft of sequels. One of the earlier scenes showed LSL in a bar listening to dialogue that went something like "blah-blah-blah ... [punchline of a dirty joke, like "Twenty dollars, same as in town!"] ... HAR-HAR-HAR! ... blah-blah-blah ... [punchline of another dirty joke, like "...'cause tonight's your night in the barrel!"] ... HAR-HAR-HAR! ... " until you/LSL did something to move the action along. They repeated at random, but there were at least 20 punchlines, maybe closer to forty. I was chagrinned (dare I say proud?) and a bit surprised to see how many of the jokes I could recognize from their punchlines. Apparently there is a finite set of jokes that have persisted and become virtually universal, and it's a considerably smaller number than I would have predicted.

My favorite answer to this one:
Because there is a b in both and an n in neither.

You've probably all heard that the New Caledonians recently got their independence, and, of course, immediately petioned to join the UN. Well, they waited and waited for news about their membership and heard nothing. Then, one day, just one day before an important pig feast, they got word that they were to send a delegation to the UN for the meeting in which their membership was going to be voted on. They had been fasting in preparation for the feast but they had to get to New York as quickly as possible for the meeting. They took a boat to the main island and caught a plane to Sydney and then to Los Angeles and another to NYC. All this time they were unable to eat anything, due to the scheduling of the flights and when they got to the UN they were extremely hungry, but they had to go directly to the meeting. Naturally, the meeting dragged on for hours and hours before they even got to the question of New Caledonian membership and then, when the question was brought up, every delegation had to speak for five minutes or more about what a great honor it was to be able to vote for their inclusion. Finally, the vote was taken and it was unanimous. The New Caledonians were happy, but more to the point, they were starving. Fortunately, one of the delegation knew about a New Caledonian restaurant in Queens so they decided to go there. As fate would have it, in their haste to leave the building, they all tried to jam into the same section of the revolving door at the exit and it stuck. Helpful suggestions from the other delegation were to no avail and it was hours before someone got a janitor who unlocked the mechanism that held the doors in position and they were free to go.
The moral of the story is:
Don't put all your New Caledonians in one exit.
Well, it was funny when it was about Basques.

I love how simple and elegant this is. It could be left up until Valentine's even, since it's so neutral!
[…] June 2, 2014 Uncategorized No comments Check me out…I totally just legitimized myself as a blogger. Okay, not even close…BUT I definitely completed some sort of blogger "rite of passage". I made my own wreath! Woot woot! I was really trying to get this done as a holiday project…heck, I even bought two wreath forms because I was certain I'd have time to make one for me and one to bring up to my sister's as a house warming gift. HA! It just didn't happen. I should have known that if I wanted one done for the holidays, I should have started well in advance. Oh well, there is always next year, right? So I was left with two blank forms, and lots of felt. What was I to do? Welp, make a wreath for a wintery mantel, of course! Adding a little something to the mantel could help to combat the inevitable post-holiday-décor-blues! I wanted a wreath that was grey and white, and well, wintery. I wasn't exactly sure what to do until I saw Mallory's wreath. […]

Generally passengers are permitted to carry medications and associated supplies (including needles, syringes, and auto-injectors) for the treatment and control of their medical conditions onboard.
Passengers who need to carry medications should be aware that the legal status of medicines in countries varies greatly. The requirements regarding carriage of medicines for personal use across international borders are variable and not consistently enforced. This applies to both over-the-counter and prescription medications. Regulations regarding whether a traveller is required to carry a physician's letter also vary widely. To avoid problems at local security or customs, we recommend that medications be clearly labeled or accompanied by a prescription or letter from your doctor confirming the types of medications carried.
Keep in mind that the effects of certain medications such as tranquillisers may be potentiated by altitude or alcohol. Please consult your own doctor for advice.
Needles and Syringes
Bringing sharps on board may be subject to the local country's safety and security clearance procedures and it is beyond the control of the airline. Please check with the specific country's security and customs agencies you are transitioning through.
It is recommended that the syringes and injectable medications are carried together and be clearly labeled to identify your name and the medication OR that you carry a medical certificate or supporting letter from your doctor indicating your name and the medication. Used syringes should be disposed of in the 'sharps box', which is carried onboard all of our flights. Please ask the cabin crew for assistance.
NOTE: For flights departing from Australia hypodermic needles can be packed in carry-on bags but passengers must have proof that they are medically necessary. Please see here for more information.
Refrigeration of Medication Inflight

This game should be a win for us.
Golden State Starting 5
New York City Starting 5
The Knicks are going in Oracle Arena to take their 5th win on the season. The knicks lost the last outing and has a chance to split 1-1. The warriors are without all star PF and Ex-Knick David Lee who is nursing an elbow injury. This game is a Must Win. The knicks are also without guard Kelenna Azubuike who came to NYC this offseason. We definitely can pull this one out. I call it, Knicks by 15
Here are some connections between the Knicks and Warriors...
On Jul. 9, 2010, the Knicks acquired Kelenna Azubuike, Anthony Randolph, and Ronny Turiaf from Golden State in exchange for forward David Lee in a sign-and-trade deal. Lee played five seasons in New York after he was selected in the first round (30th overall) of the 2005 NBA Draft. He finished his Knicks career with averages of 13 points and 9.6 rebounds over 368 games (210 starts). He left the franchise second, behind Eddy Curry, in career field goal percentage (.557).
Anthony Randolph and Ronny Turiaf played for the Warriors for two seasons from 2008-2010.
Kelenna Azubuike played for the Warriors for four seasons from 2006-2010.
Mike D'Antoni coached Warriors guard Stephen Curry during 2010 training camp for Team USA.
Danilo Gallinari and Warriors guard Stephen Curry were both participants in the 2010 NBA 3-Point Shootout. Curry finished in second place, Gallinari finished in a three-way tie for fourth place.
Amar'e Stoudemire played against David Lee in the 2010 NBA All Star Game.
Raymond Felton and David Lee played alongside each other in the 2007 T-Mobile NBA Rookie Challenge for the sophomore team – Lee won the Most Valuable Player Award.
Raymond Felton and Warriors forward Vladmir Radmanovic played together in Charlotte during the 2009-2010 season.
Ronny Turiaf and Vladmir Radmanovic played alongside each other for two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2006-2008.
Warriors Television Analyst Jim Barnett was a member of the Knicks from 1975-76.
Let's go Knicks!

This game should be a win for us.
gotta make it a win for us. 15 is a good margin when they are missing, arguably their best player.
David Lee is not better than Monta Ellis or Stephen Curry, I don't think.
That being said without Lee we should have a STRONG advantage on the boards. We grabbed more rebounds than they did last time and that was when they had David Lee. Now that their only half-competent rebounder is Dorrell Wright I say we should go up on size. Give Anthony Randolph a ton of minutes because the Warriors' interior defense is terrible.
This game is a must-win, if we don't win this then we're basically saying that we can't beat the Warriors when they're missing their best player and we're at full strength (we didn't have Turiaf last time, I'm convinced that if we did we would've walked away from that game with a win as well).
Hopefully Danilo continues his excellent play because I don't think GS is going to defend the 3-ball very well. If he decides to drive to the basket like he did last game...good, because he's basically an automatic foul when he does so.
Overall I think they should be able to beat the Warriors pretty good. Maybe if things really go well we'll see Anthony Randolph really take off
Hate to break it to you guys but the Knicks haven't beaten the Warriors in their gym since 2001.
Plus, the Warriors are 5-0 at home this year.
Plus, the Warriors already beat the Knicks on their home floor.
Plus, the Warriors arena is one of the toughest arenas to play in in the NBA.
Plus, Mike D'Antoni is the head coach of the Knicks. You can't expect to win anything with a bum like that.
Jeremon Linbury
We have a big chance to control the boards tonight. Our defensive X factor assignment is Curry. Ellis is gonna get his, so we have to lock down on that 'should be' Knick.
Why can't we employ a thug? I'd love to see The Gov take the role. Just smash the piss out of a defensive assignment.
talents improves as the season goes on). The GSW have a lethal trio to build
The Knicks do have the edge to win this game with their fowards (Turiaf,
Randolph, Amare, Gallo, Will).
I would give Fields the job to make Ellis work on the defensive-end all game
(or untill Fields foul out). Fields overall performance earned (him) rookie
playingtime to challenge a couple of the leagues top scorers for above 35+ minutes.
Douglas should be given alot of playingtime vs his draft class Stephon Curry
during the 2nd half.
Stoudemire with the rocket block.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
we finally look like were playing that defense like we were playing in Chicago!
Everyone playing good defense and attacking we are playing in and out ball
I love it
Knicks 2012

Over the past
week many of you have been asked to take a position on the Governor's
proposed education plan. The State Board believes this
plan usurps local control through cost savings initiatives that would occur
by controlling your money. I know that none of you wants
to let
Many of you have requested that we provide some clarification regarding the Governor's recent and repeated assertion that ISBE only spends 46-cents of each dollar in the classroom. The number the Governor refers to solely accounts for the cost of instruction defined as the direct teaching of pupils, including aides and assistants.
It is misleading to say that is all that is spent on the classroom.
I say this because the number excludes the cost to build and maintain the classroom, to transport the child to the classroom, to equip the classroom with the desk that the child sits in and the books that the child reads, and other important costs and services.
The data shows that when one accounts for all classroom, costs the numbers is closer to 80 cents of each dollar making its way into the classroom.
There are other costs driving classroom instruction:
Locally, elected school boards, not
Because the state only allocates 27.5% of its general fund resources to schools and most of that is in the form of general unrestricted state aid, state funding does not generally dictate how schools will use their funds. While other state grants must be used for costs of specific program areas (e.g., reading, career and technical education, technology, and textbooks), less than 1% of state education funds restrict the flexibility of local school boards between support and instructional categories.
However, the state and federal government have passed
many laws which require schools to allocate funds to certain activities.
For instance, schools are mandated to transport children to school,
provide special education services, provide bilingual services, assure the
health life safety of students, test students, and provide guidance and social
work services. The overall allocations by
To assert that only the cost of instruction is a legitimate
educational expenditure evidences a lack of knowledge of what education is,
what schools are mandated to do by state and federal laws, and what needs
The chart of accounts needs to be updated so these essential costs of instruction and classroom support more accurately are depicted.
The Governor knows, or should know, that the State Board of Education is not responsible for the allocation decisions of locally elected boards of education and the many state and federal laws that mandate local spending.
It is essential for local school leaders to set the record
straight so that

Important assessment information
Data Correction Window for 2003 Test Cycle Closes March 1
We are still accepting requests from districts for 2003 data verification and corrections until March 1. This will allow ISBE to process all data prior to the 2004 state testing dates.
To request data verification forms, send your request on district letterhead to:
Planning &

You may also send an e-mail with the same request to email@example.com.
Be sure to include the names of the schools in your district for which data verification is being requested, and describe the types of data you would like to correct.
Use of Pre-ID Labels Strongly Encouraged for State Assessments
As a reminder, districts are strongly encouraged to order pre-ID labels to be used in the 2004 spring testing to help ensure the accuracy of the data submitted about each student. Deadlines for ordering pre-ID labels are February 7 for ISAT and IMAGE labels, and February 23 for PSAE labels. Ordering pre-ID labels generates a student roster listing all of the information submitted about each student. Logins and passwords were sent in the fall to the district contacts for ISAT and IMAGE and to high school principals for PSAE, along with specific directions for ordering these labels. If you have any questions about this process or if you cannot locate your password and login, please contact Pearson Educational Measurement at 1-800-627-7990, state code 814; or email email@example.com, email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Information Available to Help Ensure Accurate Submission of Data for the 2004 Assessment Cycle
PowerPoint and WORD versions of a presentation given to four ROEs during the week of January 20 regarding how to ensure data accuracy" will be available via the assessment website starting early next week. To access this information, go to www.isbe.net/assessment. This information explains the "Collection and Use of Data for AYP Calculations."
In a state-by state ranking released by the AFT: Illinois and New York were the only states "very well prepared" to meet the NCLB deadline for ensuring that aides – also known as paraprofessionals – meet the pending standards.
States were rated in nine categories.
AFT's report measures whether states that use federal Title I funds for students in disadvantaged communities are helping paraprofessionals meet NCLB requirements. By Jan. 8, 2006, Title I paraprofessionals must have either a two-year degree, two years of credit toward a four-year degree or a passing score on a state assessment.

Middle Grade Conference
We are grateful for the overwhelmingly positive response to the rapidly approaching Middle Grade Reading Conference. The conference has been carefully planned to respond to the issues of lack of achievement in reading of our middle grade students. We will have opportunities to hear from educators that have successfully turned their schools around and improved achievement using scientifically based reading approaches.
Conference participants will be afforded opportunities for active engagement in the dialogue on current developments in middle school reading as well as opportunities for the exchange of information about successful experiences with best practices. A few slots remain for those who have not yet registered for the conference, but you are encouraged to register as soon as possible, because availability is limited.
Conference activities will take place at three different locations. The times, dates, and locations are as follows:
February 23, 2004
February 27, 2004
4, 2004
You are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to interact with colleagues and noted educators with expertise in the area of middle grade reading. We look forward to having you join us for this unique professional growth experience.

text: When dropping my daughter off at day care this morning the new assistant teacher in her room (infant room) asked me when I planned to stop BF. When I told her that I wasn't planning a time to wean she had a completely confused look on her face. I started to explain that when DD decided it was time to wean then I would stop, but did not plan to encourage weaning unless DD was about to start school and was still BF. I started putting DD's bottles of ebm in the fridge and could see the assistant teacher counting on her fingers. She then looked at me and said "But won't she be around 5 then?" I answered yes and she asked "but won't she be hungry all the time?". I giggle to myself and explained that DD would also eat others foods too (she takes soft solids @ DCP already). I just though that this was cute, I know she thinks I am a totally hippy-nut (we cloth diaper, co-sleep, BF, don't CIO, and I make DD's food) and I am sure that this reafirmed it to her.

What is the Nature of Your Emergency?
911 Calls from Yellowstone
Considering the park is inhabited by 25,000 visitors on any given summer day, the emergencies faced are typical of those of a small city. Rangers make three to five arrests per week—more at the peak of summer—for drunk driving, domestic assault, drug possession and other offenses. Ambulances are needed to respond to auto accidents or people who have suffered heart attacks or strokes, often requiring life-flight helicopters to transport them to larger hospitals in Montana or Idaho.
Some calls are more characteristic of a national park, such as a hiker lost in the backcountry and lucky enough to pick up a signal on their cell phone.
And then there are the incidents that are virtually unique to Yellowstone, such as bison gorings or burns from scalding hot springs when people get too close to animals or thermal features. Most 911 calls involve true emergencies. Others... not so much.
Kaelyn Johnson, who manages the Yellowstone Dispatch Center, can easily rattle off a long list of past call topics. These include, among many others, a squirrel that got in a visitor's car, a man wandering inside a park hotel who couldn't find the exit, a "bison who looked sad," and of course many complaints about traffic jams due to herds of animals in the road.

A bill that would allow the city to remove just about any type of personal property from sidewalks advanced unanimously Tuesday out of the City Council's Public Safety and Economic Development Committee.
"We need to ensure that those sidewalks are opened for all members of the public, and not just a select few," said Windward Oahu Councilman Ikaika Anderson, who's spearheading a similar measure, Bill 6, which would allow the removal of tents from city sidewalks.
Two women who live on North Beretania Street told committee members the Occupy Movement at Thomas Square has changed the character of the area. Protestors have been at the Kakaako location since Nov. 5, 2011.
"It seems to be intimidating," said Ann Beeson, "The number of tents, the amount of stuff (and) the combination of occupiers and homeless."
"Sanitation is also a problem here," added Karen Edwards. "I've stepped in what very much looked like human excrement and urine."
Under Bill 7, introduced by Council Chairman Ernie Martin, the city could confiscate almost any type of property found on sidewalks without providing prior notice. Instead, the city would attach a note at the location of where an item was taken, informing the potential owner of how to get it back within 30 days.
"The city will be able to come in, take the items and remove them, and then restore public access to our sidewalks to all members of the public," said Anderson.
Bill 54, signed into law 14 months ago by former Mayor Peter Carlisle, requires the city to provide 24-hour notice before going back to remove illegally stored property on sidewalks. The measure has not made much of a difference at Thomas Square.
"It hasn't done anything to help anybody off the streets, it's just continually put them in a state of crisis," said Sugar Russell, an occupy protestor from Chicago who has been at the park since June of last year.
Meanwhile Anderson's measure Bill 6, would outlaw the pitching of tents on city sidewalks without a permit. The bill allows police to charge violators with a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and as much as a $1,000 fine.
In a Feb. 20 letter to the City Council, American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii senior staff attorney Dan Gluck wrote in opposition to the bill, saying it would cause unnecessary incarceration.
"Bill 6 does nothing to address Honolulu's homeless problem," said Gluck. "Rather, it just shuffles people from place to place, moving homeless individuals farther from service providers and saddling the homeless with criminal records (making it more difficult to find employment and housing)."
Bill 7 faces a public hearing and second reading before the full City Council after clearing the committee vote Tuesday. Bill 6 has yet to be heard at the committee level, but Anderson said some of its key points could be folded into Bill 7. Bills must pass three readings before being forwarded to the mayor for consideration.
Correction: A prior version of this story stated Ikaika Anderson was the sponsor of Bill 7.
