The New Standard in Gas Turbine Performance
The power output capability of a given gas turbine plant is largely limited by the mass flow of air that can be delivered at a particular ambient temperature to the combustion and turbine sections. This is a function of the ambient temperature and humidity of the air.
Gas Turbine Experience
The Powerphase™ team is comprised of people with significant real-world experience in the design, manufacture, servicing and modernization of gas turbines and jet engines. We understand not only the prime mover but all the other systems and components that comprise a GT-based power plant and their interrelationships.
In a simple cycle application the Turbophase™ system consists of an air compressor driven by either a reciprocating engine, a steam turbine, or a small gas turbine and a heat recovery system which is used to capture the prime mover exhaust heat and add it to the compressor discharge enabling the system to match the gas turbine's compressor discharge temperature.

Gymnasium, properties, millions of dollars, ice arena and our willingness to pay $1.91M to pay for a federal and state transportation project.

Bunting moved, Rauenhorst seconded a motion to approve 5.07. Motion carried 4-0.
6. Public Hearings
7. General Business
7.01 Update on Appropriations Request for Federal Funds
Engineer Weiss provided a presentation on the projects that would compete well for appropriations funding. $158M worth of projects have been identified.
Weiss stated staff has met with Hennepin County and Rogers is in the top five cities that need transportation improvements within the entire county.
Weiss spoke on the Fletcher Bypass and the county has ideas to assist with the request for funding. Another project is the third lane on Highway 101 at CSAH 144, however he is not recommending that project at this time. Weiss then spoke on CSAH 13, Brockton Lane, and CSAH 144 stating they have been identified as appropriate for a funding appropriations request.
Weiss provided traffic estimates for CSAH 13 and CSAH 144; an increase of 50% on both roadway systems in just over a year from now when the 610 project is complete.
Weiss stated the County previously proposed project improvements for CSAH 13 at South Diamond Lake Road and CSAH 144. Both intersections were identified in the City's CIP plan for projects. Weiss stated staff is hoping to get $500,000 or more in funding to assist in the projects.
Weiss stated the staff is recommending preparing a funding request to Representative Paulsen and Senators Klobuchar and Franken related to safety/capacity improvements for CSAH 13/144 related to increased traffic from 610.
Bell commented on the traffic count slide, CSAH 13 north of 81 and south of 144 and made note of the 5,000 cars that are gone between CSAH 81 and 144. Weiss commented on the difference noting the same observation.
Bunting moved, Bell seconded a motion authorizing staff to proceed with the application for the CSAH 13/144 safety project for securing transportation appropriations with the funding source identified as TIF No. 1. Motion carried 4-0.
Stahmer stated the other piece is to decide on the Washington D.C. trip. Based on Weiss's recommendation and the March 19th appropriations request, the timeframe becomes March 15 – 17, 2010 during National League of Cities conference. Another option is for council to split representation between the March and June conferences.
Stahmer also stated the TIF attorney is looking at the exact explanation of the project to make sure it is TIF eligible expenses. Told up front that it is likely to be a TIF eligible expense, but will receive verification before the money is spent.
Stahmer commented TIF No. 1 and the Council's travel budget would pay for the trip.
Bunting questioned if the county did not support the application, what are the odds of getting the funding. Weiss stated he is not sure what the odds are, but if you are out there meeting with them you can increase your odds by explaining the requests in person; build the relationship and share the city's transportation issues.
Bunting asked if this includes a tunnel or bridge between the two schools. Weiss stated this request does not, it would be in a future request.
Bell questioned the timing of the trip and the timing of the application deadlines.
Weiss explained the City's deadline is February 19th and the representative's deadline is March 19th.
Moved by Rauenhorst, seconded by Bunting to authorize council members to attend the Washington DC conference and to use TIF No. 1 and council budgeted funds as the funding source. Motion carried 4-0.
7.02 Update on Developer's Agreement with Rogers Plaza Partners
Weiss stated there are three things to bring to Council attention; (1) Final plat to occur in October. The City will be obtaining easements until the plat is final. (2) Signage; requesting a proposed pylon sign similar to the CVS sign. Asked the applicant to define the specifications of the signage being requested. (3) Variances; working through issue with parking 10 feet off property line with the concept plan submitted. The developer will be requesting a 5 foot setback and parking adjacent to property lines with cross parking agreements.
Weiss stated along with getting ARRA funding for the fly-over, we may be getting an increase in federal funding for the CSAH 81 project.
No direction requested.
Bell asked if the pylon sign is the only sign needing a waiver from the ordinance. Weiss stated that is his understanding.
No action taken.
7.03 Police Officer Hiring - Recruited Candidate
Chief Luther addressed the Council regarding a request to fill an existing position with a recruited candidate versus the entire hiring and testing process. This process would streamline the system to address a specific need we have coming up this summer with the activation of Officer Brandon Wegner, due to be activated in June. Luther stated he has located a candidate that would be suitable, to interview that person as soon as possible with the interview panel, if the panel deems the candidate acceptable, authorization to offer a conditional hire to the individual.
Luther stated this would not replace our testing process we would normally do.
Asking permission to hire Grimsby replacement, schedule an interview as soon as possible, and make a conditional job offer to begin the other testing process of medical, background investigation, and psychological exam and bring back to the council for ultimate approval.
Bunting moved, Rauenhorst seconded a motion to begin the hiring process by scheduling an interview before the final interview panel for one or more recruited candidates. (One recruited candidate has been presently identified.); and make a conditional job offer once the nominated candidate has been interviewed by the final selection panel. (A conditional offer is necessary to begin the medical examination, background investigation, and psychological assessment.); and upon the recruited candidate's completion of the pre-employment evaluation process, for the Chief of Police to return to the full City Council to request authorization to hire the recruited and vetted candidate. Motion carried 4-0.
Rauenhorst asked when the interview is going to take place. Grimm and Rauenhorst agreed to schedule the interview for 1:30 p.m. on Friday, February 12, 2010.
7.04 Discussion on Citizen of the Year Process
Council discussed establishing a process for putting together a committee for citizen of the year.
After discussion, council consensus was to turn the Citizen of the Year process over to the Lions to see if they are interested.
8.01 Update on Senior Center Costs - Bunting
Bunting reported it would cost $205,000 to do a build-out of the existing Fastenal building. The figure does not include furniture, redoing walls, code bathrooms, HVAC, and kitchen; just bare-bones build-out. Bunting stated he will bring the specifics to staff at a later date.
3.01 Jeff Johnson – Hennepin County Commissioner - Meet & Greet (approx. 7:30 p.m.)
Mr. Johnson addressed the council and handed out a 2010 Hennepin County Fact Card.
Johnson discussed the county's 2010 budget and discussed uncompensated care being funded at HCMC. Johnson then asked for questions from Council.
Grimm stated the City's biggest question is what he can do for Rogers in terms of transportation.
Johnson suggested setting up a meeting and sit down with Jim Grube from Hennepin County.
Weiss addressed Mr. Johnson with the request for federal appropriations process for CSAH 13 and CSAH 144. Weiss explained staff is already aware the County Board set their project priorities, however Weiss asked Mr. Johnson for a personal letter of support. Johnson agreed to write a letter of support.
Staff and Council explained the local project and the appropriations application that will be made along with projected traffic numbers for CSAH 81/13/144.
Grimm also mentioned a walking bridge or tunnel for the two schools on CSAH 144.
Johnson stated he would be happy to support both projects.
Council thanked Mr. Johnson.
9.01 January Police Report
No action taken.
Bunting moved, Bell seconded a motion to adjourn at 7:47 p.m. Motion carried 4-0.
Respectfully submitted,
Stacy Doboszenski

My first binge :(

I had my first official binge yesterday (well first since I started my diet a few weeks back) - I often eat a lot and binge, but since I started focusing on weight loss I've been good - actually I've even been eating around 1800 calories which is plenty! And with a good mix of protein, carbs and fats and lots of veges etc...
Stats: Female, 27yrs, 71kg, 163cm.
It's interesting that I don't get hungry on days I DO exercise - yesterday was a rest day when I binged!!
Oh well - learn and move on right? I'm going to keep a binge diary and fill in what I was feeling etc at the time to make sure I don't do the same thing again!
Also, I did read the post about "Tips for the day after the Binge" so I'll eat more protein today and exercise tonight!
Just wanted to share... Bit sad (as yesterday was also the first day I was under 71kg!) but I know that this won't affect long term weight loss - just that this will undo my hard work on Monday.

I had a binge recently myself. When I looked back on that day, I realized i) I was hungry all day but trying to control it, ii) was low on both carbs and fats in my log, and iii) had not exercised that day. When I binged it was all about fats and carbs, so I wonder if it was related.
I might have been able to avoid that binge if I'd been paying attention earlier to the cravings I was having and dealt with them properly.
Has anyone else figured out what triggers a binge???

YES I was hungry all day! And was eating what I normally eat but for some reason it just wasn't satisfying enough! So then at 4pm I basically had a second lunch (it was HUGE, Rice and gravy) and I really feel that that should have been enough! But then I was hungry again around 7pm and kept snacking to curb it! But then I got home around 9:30 and thought, OK let me eat a little bit more and then it turned into a binge...
That leads me to my next question actually... think I'll put it on another post!

There has GOT to be something to binge eating other than emotional loss of control. It feel almost bio chemical, if you know what I mean.
Yesterday I had another really hungry day (again I didn't work out, I wonder whether that's coincidence, or causal). I could feel a binge coming on.
This time I ate "leaves" (aka salad) until I felt like a sheep in the meadow. By the time I was finished, I would have had the equivelent of a bathroom sink full of macerated greens in my belly. It still felt as if there was nothing in there. I actually had real hunger, which we all know would be impossible!!
Next I tried three teaspoons of no fat Greek yogurt, wondering if it was a protein or calcium shortage. The yogurt made a bit of difference, but not much and certainly not for long.
Then I had two chocolate caramel rice cakes topped with a teaspoon of peanut butter and a tablepoon of non fat Cool Whip on each one. After that I began to settle down a bit. The gnawing hunger was gone, but I certainly didn't feel as if I had a pail of solids in my stomach.
I made a cup of sugar free hot chocolate, and after three sips, BINGO! I was finally stuffed. I think the hot chocolate finally "puffed up" the rice in my stomach, as well as all of the greens. I poured out the rest of the drink and went to bed. Done!
I managed to do all of that without a 2,000 calorie binge, and stay within my calorie range, thank God, so I count that as a binge averted.
What the heck led to such a strange phenomena, and which of all of the above efforts stopped the cycle?
So far I'm thinking it has something to do with my body chemistry on days when I am not moving enough. Somehow the hunger signal flashes on, and won't turn off. Maybe my body "believes" that it has an opportunity to recapture lost calories, and sets off a chemical chain. Maybe its looking for high density calories (like you might find in peanut butter) to replace lost fats. Maybe that's why the "full" signal just doesn't work properly (and maybe finally did work when I gave it a bit of peanut butter).
I wish I knew what the chemistry was behind this so that I could stop it before it ever got started, but if it ever happens again I'm going to try liquids in between bulky foods ad see if I can get the hungries to stop sooner.
If anyone else has information or experience with this, I would very much appreciate hearing from you!!!

There's a difference between a one time binge and habitual binging. The former could be a lack of food, appropriate nutrition, or frustration with a new diet and the latter is indicative of a serious eating disorder.
Scientists have linked binge eating in rats (sweet and fattning foods) to the opioid receptors of the brain. Rats are not people, but their similarity to people from a neurological perspective make them a good test subject.
For some people, binge eating is just like a drug binge. It releases a bunch of chemicals in their brain that they get high on. They hide it from their family and friends. They feel ashamed, but don't know how to stop.

Smashley: I think I used to be like that - I would actually need to hide how much I'm eating because my friends would get SHOCKED!
Divasnote: I was exactly the same - literally starving! And no matter how much I ate I actually felt hunger - I think I over-did the exercise for a few days before...
And YES I'm exactly the same - on the days I exercise I don't even feel that hungry - but on my day off... BAM!!! The hunger kicks in!
So I just wanted to share an update :) Normally 1 binge and I'd be off track - BUT this time I was good - I just accepted that I slipped up, and I made sure to eat in control yesterday and exercise and I've almost undone the binge! So I'm really happy because honestly in the past I've always been an all-or-nothing girl! I think posting things up on CC helps too - reminds me of my goal! I think I'll post this in the other 'tips on binge eating' topic too - cos I really followed those tips and it helped out!
Thanks to you all! :) :) :)

Thanks Smashly, that's helpful.
My experience was a new one for me, most likely nutrition related. Having another ravenous day today, and this time it was a workout day. The peanut butter solution from yesterday isn't working today, and I am actually getting a hunger headache. I haven't had meat in a while, so I'll see if that helps. If not, then its just something I'm going to have to live with for a while as my body adjusts to being on a diet.

Divasnote, I think you might need to look into whether your foods are "dense" and filling. Off course you're not going to be full of salad leaves, regardless of how much you eat!! And rice crackers are EMPTY calories which will not fill you up, that's a promise.
Think about planning out your days' food the night before. Heavy in veggies (not just salad), protein, healthy fats, no refined carbs (no rice crackers or rice)!!! I can bet you won't be feeling hungry anymore. I'd put it down to a hungry for NUTRITIOUS food, rather than hunger period.
I'm doing the caveman diet and I force lunch down at work (6 hrs after breakfast). Dinner I'm usually, well, probably like a caveman, but I figure it's cause of my poor lunch.
Best of luck doll.

I walk almost everyday and have been full of energy...BUT for the past 2 days it gets to 9pm and I just fancy something extra...I've opted for a pack of cheese n onion rice cakes 80 cals and a bowl of muesli with semi skimmed milk 400 cals ;( thats taken me up to 1800 on these 2 days and I do regret it!!!! OK...its NOTHING like my old binges which could take my cals up to 4000 in the day but I still feel Ive messed up! On these 2 days I had "over done" the walking and propably walked 2-3 hrs...do u reckon this will even out the extra cals?

The 1,400 calories number is not the maximum you should eat. The 1,400, actually your BMR number should be the minimum you eat. Starting from this number or any number above this you need to ensure you burn 500 calories a day more than you eat to ensure you lose 1lbs a week.

STILLMAN VALLEY-It's not a typical week of practice for the Stillman Valley Cardinals. They were indoors on Tuesday. Wednesday they'll be on the field turf at Auburn's Wyeth Stadium for practice. They'll be playing on field turf Saturday evening when they travel to Aurora Christian. Aurora Christian is the two-time defending 3A State Champion, so the Cardinals are covering all the bases preparing for this game.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYBig Kevin Mitchell kicks up a mini-tsunami of dirt as he scores on a close play against the Montreal Expos at Shea Stadium in this Topps card printed in 1987. Mitchell didn't spend that year in Queens. He was traded by the Mets in December 1986 along with two other players to San Diego for Kevin McReynolds and Gene Walter. Mitchell had 12 homers and 43 RBIs for the World Series champion Mets in '86 as a reserve.

There is a story surrounding the above picture of blueberry pancakes. These are no ordinary pancakes, these are victorious blueberry pancakes. Too much? Well, bear with me.
So I have a really good friend who is Martha Stewart incarnate. Seriously. Ever watch Desperate Housewives? The character of Bree? (Or is it spelled Brie?) Anyway…that's my friend. On any given day you could show up to her gorgeous home with perfectly manicured lawn and garden (which she does herself, or course), and she would greet you, probably wearing pearls, and welcome you into her spotless home and no doubt have a gourmet meal ready to whip together in mere minutes. Did I mention she has five children? I wish I were exaggerating.
And if you remember me, I am the opposite. Perhaps that's why we're such good friends. Several of her older children are friends with my children. (Another reason we are probably such good friends.) And we are about the only families we would allow our children to have sleepovers with. Which is where the pancakes come in. (You were beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get there, weren't you?)
So, several months ago her children had spent the night and I decided to make my middle daughter's favorite for breakfast: pancakes. (Unlike Kari, they seemed excited at the prospect.) Except for one thing.
"Where are the blueberries?" They asked when I, proud of my creation, set their plates in front of them.
"Blueberries?" I asked.
"Our Mommy always puts blueberries in our pancakes."
Sigh. Of course she does. So…they politely ate their boring "regular" pancakes, and I chuckled, realizing that even making homemade pancakes I can't even begin to compete with this friend. (Not that I want to, but you know, it'd be nice every now and then to feel like I'm even on the same playing field.)
So…fast forward to a few weeks ago when they were back over for a sleepover. By sheer coincidence I happened to have a case of fresh blueberries and all the ingredients to make pancakes. I couldn't believe my luck! So, that morning when the children came down for breakfast I had prepared the fresh blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon and they happily ate, this time not having to ask where the blueberries were. Actually, they didn't even seem to notice a difference this time. I stood there, sipping my coffee with an incredible feeling of satisfaction. And THAT, my friends, is why the above pancakes are no ordinary pancakes. Oh no. They are a sweet picture of VICTORY-even if it is just until they have to step over the baby toys on their way out the door back home.

The Use of Estate Freezes by Family-Owned Businesses (ABSTRACT)
Feltham, G., Feltham, T., & Mathieu, R.
published: 2003 | Research publication | Refereed Journals - Accounting
Feltham, G., Feltham, T., & Mathieu, R. (2003). "The Use of Estate Freezes by Family-Owned Businesses". Canadian Tax Journal, 51 (4), 1520-1541.
ABSTRACT: It has been argued that the greatest risk to the continued success of a family-owned business is succession--the passing of the business from one generation to the next. Estate freezes can facilitate succession by fixing the value of the parent's interest in the business at a particular date, with future growth accumulating to the benefit of the children. This article documents the frequency of estate freezes among family businesses in Canada and explores the reasons for the level of use. Two investigative instruments are used: a survey of family business owners and a survey of tax professionals. Relatively few of the family businesses surveyed (15.8 percent of businesses whose owners have children) have performed a freeze. The net deferral benefit--the deferral value of an estate freeze less the present value of professional fees--for each family business is determined. There is a financial incentive for almost all of the sampled firms to have performed an estate freeze: on reasonable assumptions, over 90 percent of firms would have had a positive net deferral advantage. For an estate freeze to have deferral value, the parent must intend to pass the business on to his or her children. Surprisingly, this does not hold for a majority of family businesses in Canada. Parents are either uncertain whether they will pass the business on to their children or have decided against doing so. Alternatively, family businesses may be performing estate freezes, but at a later time than that which would maximize the net deferral value. Together, these two factors appear to explain why relatively few businesses have frozen, even when there is an apparent financial incentive to do so.

We were in the Petra camp, where 1,200 Yazidi asylum-seekers are living in truly shocking conditions. It was set up by the Greek government in April on the site of an old psychiatric hospital.
During the annual May to October monsoon season, Myanmar experiences low-level flooding, which creates favourable conditions for rice cultivation, Myanmar's leading crop. However, in July 2015, heavier than normal downpours combined with the arrival of Cyclone Komen created unprecedented flash floods, general flooding, and landslides, a national disaster that affected 12 of Myanmar's 14 states and regions. An estimated 1.6 million people were displaced and more than 20 percent of Myanmar's cultivated land was damaged.
In September, Refugees International returned to some of the hardest hit areas in Rakhine State, Sagaing Region, and Chin State to see how communities were recovering a year after the flooding.
In July 2015, unprecedented monsoon rains, fueled by a tropical cyclone, caused flash floods that washed away San San Aye's former home, along with 83 others in her village. More than one and half million people across the country were displaced in the disaster.
More than one hundred thousand Rohingya Muslims have fled violence and persecution in Myanmar in recent years. In May 2015, thousands were abandoned on boats on the Andaman Sea, after the discovery of mass graves in human trafficking camps along the Thailand-Malaysia border led to a crackdown on human traffickers. The primary desired destination for the Rohingya refugees has been Malaysia, where tens of thousands live unrecognized as refugees at risk of exploitation and in constant fear of detention. Their lives are generally better than in the home country they fled, but still far too vulnerable.
While anticipation of the Mosul offensive continues to build – along with concern about the consequent displacement that could overwhelm nearby areas – the reality is that Mosul's military offensive and displacement crisis started some time ago. In the past several months, more than 100,000 people have fled the areas around Qayyara and Shirqat, two towns taken by Iraqi fighting forces as part of the military approach to Mosul itself.

The Portland Trail Blazers were busy at the trade deadline, but at the same time, it was puzzling to say the least. Raymond Felton and Jamal Crawford had been subject to trade rumors and linked to teams almost every day, but both of them will remain in a Blazers uniform...at least for the rest of the season.
Instead of dealing away Felton and Crawford, the Blazers severed ties with veterans Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace and in return, they acquired Jonny Flynn, Hasheem Thabeet, Mehmet Okur's expiring contract and Shawne Williams' expiring contract. The team also announced that Nate McMillan's reign was officially over.
So needless to say, they were pretty busy. And they weren't done, either.
As first reported by ESPN yesterday,
"The Blazers waived Oden Thursday because they needed to create roster room to accommodate all the Portland players acquired earlier in the day in separate trades with New Jersey and Houston."
In December, the team and Oden restructured his contract, as his salary decreased from $9 million to $1.5 million for cap flexibility. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything now.
As we all know, Oden has been a major disappointment. Since being the No. 1 overall selection in the 2007 draft, the former Buckeye has played in a total of 82 games. Yes, 82 out of a possible 371 games.
The oft-injured big man just hasn't had things go his way since his arrival to the NBA. It's quite a shame, as Oden showed flashes of brilliance when he was actually on the court.
But he just hasn't been able to continually be on the court. Even though Oden is out with a season-ending injury, there are still likely to be teams out there that want to take a shot on him and have him on their roster for next season, especially if he comes at a cheap price.
There's no way Oden would receive a long-term deal from any team because of his past issues, so it'd be entirely plausible for a team to offer him a two-year, $3 million contract, or something of that nature.
He's worth the risk, believe it or not. For all we know, he can play in 60 or more games for the next few years and be the All-Star caliber player we were all hoping for. Or, he could continue to be the big man in the suit we always see on the bench.
But it's worth the risk in my opinion, and let's be honest, if Brian Scalabrine can take up a roster spot, Oden can, too.

In a recent interview with Famitsu (translated by 1Up), Square Enix director Tetsuya Nomura revealed that Disney wanted to cast Donald Duck as the leading character for the project that eventually became Kingdom Hearts.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Jiraiya the legendary sannin
Hiruzen Sarutobi the 3rd Hokage

Ooo ok but what would Jiraiya do in sage mode that would beat the 3rd. Just asking

Frog genjutsu + Gargantuan rasengan
so far i think hiruzen was only a genious and could use extremely powerful but NORMAL techniques (except mby death reaper seal) but jiraiya on the other hand had sage mode
i personally think that there are normal abilities taijutsu genjutsu and ninjutsu from D.A rank and there are some abilities which are beyond these such as S rank techniques, sharingan, rinnegan, jinchuuriki power, sage mode
Originally Posted by cyborg

Nice I could see that happening big time. I pretty sure Hiruzen would summon his monkey king to keep the frogs busy. But then again Jiraiya might summon the toad warriors. Ermmmm wow.
Originally Posted by cyborg

Also he has to get to sage mode. The third will try to prevent him
Yes because it takes far too long for Jiraiya to even get into sage mode and he has to keep that same hand seal or he will have to start over.
this is stupid! saratobi would kill jiraiya, however this isnt to say that orochimaru is stronger than jiraiya. (even tho i think he is, hehe)
Originally Posted by JMAN

And what makes you think that Jiraiya fought to kill when trying to stop Oro ?
Itachi was on the good side, yeah but Kisame was he on the good side? I think not. He himself said that he wasn't on the same level.
Naruto at the time when Sasuke went away was weaker than him but after the Pain arc Zetsu clearly stated that Naruto was stronger.
That shows that people can improve. And Jman improved.
Do you think Oro could have done what Jiraiya did to Pain, he almost beat him. I highly doubt it
Do you think Hiruzen(old) could have done what Jiraiya did to Pain?
so he can only defeat orochimaru when hes fighting to kill? so he can't defeat him without use of deadly force then they are probably even at best.
no kisame isn't good but he did have trust in itachi and thought they were both on the same side, if he says they wouldn't win and they should run, they run, if he says hes only running because hes trying to avoid a big fight, kisame belives him.
yeah of course people improve, jiraiya wasn't the only sannin that got better either, oro didn't show that he had body shedding or edo tensei or his crazy giant snake summons untill current timeline so we don't know either of their "full" power when they went 1v1. Oro could survive alot of stuff, rockets/blades/chakra blasts from android pain no sweat, hes got plenty of chakra to fight powerful enemeies unless his host body is rejecting him making him weaker.
I bet he could kill several pains if not all of them, he was in akatsuki and knew more then anyone else thought he did (sasori's real form, got pain/itachi's/kazuku/deidara's dna) so if kabuto had nagato's dna to summon him but didn't have the chance to get it after he died then oro or kabuto found a way to get to him and knew his secret or it would have brought back one of the corpses he used for pathes instead of real nagato, thats one advantage jiraiya didn't have untill it was too late.
and 50-60 year old hiruzen im doubtful he could fight off all 6 pains alone because his chakra levels are so low he couldn't even afford to use shadow clones and couldn't finish sealing orochimaru's whole soul, hes smart enough to figure the linked eyesight and powers out but he'd need his young body and chakra to execute his plans.
To be honest, I'm gonna say Hiruzen's got this one. Provided he is in his Prime.
The Prime Hiruzen is wiser, has more battle experience and has a more vast knowledge of jutsu (ninjutsu). IMO, he would also be more proficient in taijutsu as well as genjutsu compared to Jiraiya. The only way for Jiraiya to beat his sensei is if he uses sage mode, which takes a fair amount of time to initiate (which Hiruzen will know, since this is Hiruzen we're talking about). So, if they were to fight Hiruzen wouldnt allow Jiraiya to go into sage mode (Jiraiya's best tech) which will give Hiruzen the win.
So yeah, Jiraiya is good but he won't be able to beat the 3rd (I'm assuming that they're both at their prime). One things for sure though, it would be one hell of a fight.
i wasnt impresed by hiruzen, not his jutsu, not his speed, not his taijutsu not even his summoning only his seal
I'm going to say that Jiraiya has this one, ONLY because of sage mode and his toad summons.
I do believe it would be an awesome fight to see. ^_^

no matter how good u are with ninjutsu or taijutsu, sage mode just makes it better, well except MS or rinnegan techs

i don't even factor in sage mode because theres such a low chance of him geting into it unless he starts with it or hiruzen messes around and lets him summon the sage toads. gamabunta vs. enma would be cool tho, diamond hard shapeshifting staff (that cuts like a sword) vs. giant toad with a sword and a bad attitude lol
Originally Posted by Minato The Fourth Hokage

which is why so many people think he wasn't the strongest hokage even tho its stated in the manga by iruka, a teacher in the villages own school.
the reason he was so terrible compared to people in their 20s/30s (sannin in 50s but had jutsus that made their bodies stronger, sage mode/host bodies and meds/ tsunade's seal) is because of how old he was and he'd been inactive for who knows how long pre-invasion we've never seen him training or even in action except for 12 years before that and he didn't do much then as far as fighting.
i bet if you take anyone (besides madara and kazuku who have other things keeping their bodies powerful like forbidden jutsu and EMS) and have them fight 3 on 1 when they are 62 they'll be crap compared to the current age.
I'd say Jiraiya because of Sage Mode which is more powerful than any technique Hiruzen has shown so far. HIruzen and Jiraya are similar fighters (no surprise as the first was the latter's teacher) but the training in Mount Myoboku gave Jiraiya the Upper hand.
Jiraiya takes this High Diff.
jirayia wins b/c of sage mode!!!!
so hard to root against jiraiya but the 3rd supposedly knew and could use every jutsu in konoha. If you stand by that, you would have to put the 3rd above jiraiya.
If the 3rd is in old man form, then he takes it hard diff but if it's the 3rd in his prime, then the 3rd takes it med/low diff

Gotta few questions
Any training in wind before?In your own words, describe wind, its strength its weaknesses what its used for how its used in battle what elements would you combine it with?What is wind made out of (RL)Why do you want wind?What is your favorite wind technique from the manga/anime(Give a wiki link pls)
1. No I have not had any wind training before
2. I think wind is a source of destruction and defense at the same time. Destruction meaning to completely destroy land and its surrounding and defense like repelling attacks or literally acting like a barrier. Wind is very weak against fire for fire is fuel by air and so fire attacks become stronger.
How ever, since wind is a natural lightning insulator, wind is powerful against lightning attacks. Once I learn lightning nature, I would first send a wind attack, than follow it by a lightning attack in order to fuel the wind therefor making a more powerful attack.
3.wind is made from sucking in air than letting it out or moving an object like a fan or instance back and forth to make a gust of wind.
4. I want wind because not only is Asuma specialize in wind chakra, but I have always found wind style jutsus breath taking.
Last edited by Ero-Sennin; 10-01-2012 at 04:40 AM.
Reason: Messed up in the weakness and strength part
Now, here are some things i will want you to fill out, and i will correct you if your wrong
-Combination with other element techniques
-Weaknesses & downside of the technique.
Ready to begin?
Wind combines either water
It's strengths are against lightning
The Downside to wind is that if an opponent uses a fire attack after I use wind, than the fire will jut get bigger and come at me with more strength
And yes I'm ready

Hon Hai, China TV brands to sell 60-inch TVs: sources
November 29, 2012, 12:18 pm TWN
TAIPEI -- Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. is working with two of China's top television brands — Skyworth and Haier — to sell its 60-inch light emitting diode (LED) TVs in China, market sources said yesterday.
The sources said the large-sized LED TVs, which use flat panels made by Sharp's 10th-generation panel plant in western Japan, have gone on sale under the Skyworth and Haier brands in the mainland market.
Hon Hai Chairman Terry Gou owns a 46.5-percent stake in Sharp's flat screen plant, the first 10th-generation display plant in the world.
Through the partnership with Chinese brands, Hon Hai is expected to ship 10,000 to 20,000 of the big-screen TVs a month in China by the end of this year, the sources said.
Hon Hai declined to comment on its cooperation with Skyworth and Haier, saying the company generally does not comment on any individual clients.
Because Haier is headquartered in Qingdao in Shandong province, and Skyworth is based in Shenzhen, Hon Hai's factories located in Shandong's Yantai and Shenzhen, respectively, are manufacturing the products for the two brands, the sources said.
Hon Hai, the world's largest contract electronics maker, operates a broad production base in China, with more than one million employees there to assemble gadgets for international brands, such as Apple, Dell and Sony.
In addition to providing assembly services to its two Chinese partners, Hon Hai is cooperating with Haier and Skyworth in other areas, including marketing and distribution, to capture a larger share of the huge China market.
Now that the Hon Hai-assembled TVs have hit the shelves of retail outlets selling Haier and Skyworth products, the Taiwan-based company plans to sell large-sized TVs in China via the Internet in the next stage of its marketing strategy, the sources said.
Once the online business has reached a certain maturity, Hon Hai is likely to market Haier and Skyworth branded 60-inch TVs in its own home appliance retail chain in China, called Cybermart, while seeking partnerships with other home appliance retailers to sell the products, the sources said.
Hon Hai unveiled the 60-inch TVs in Taiwan on Nov. 11, and they became an instant hit. Ahead of the Taiwan launch, the large-sized TVs hit North American markets, attracting strong interest.

|No Same As
|Amd S103, Gen Muni L
|Enables the city of Rochester to prefer minority and women-owned businesses in awarding public contracts where the contract for purchase of commodities and/or services is in the amount of $100,000 or less and a disparity in procurement opportunities has been documented for the type of such commodities and/or services for which the city is contracting.

submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
  BILL NUMBER: A1204 SPONSOR: Gantt
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to giving the city of Rochester the power to prefer minority and women- owned businesses in awarding public contracts   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would exempt the City of Rochester, under certain circumstances from the requirement of awarding various public contracts to the lowest responsible bidder.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The City of Rochester would be exempt from the requirement of awarding public contracts to the lowest respon- sible bidder, where: (1) the contract for the purchase of commodities and/or services is in the amount of $100,000 or less; AND (2) a disparity in procurement opportunities has been documented for the type of commodities and/or services for which the city is contracting.   JUSTIFICATION: The City of Rochester is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation by all people in its programs and services. As part of this commitment, the City has established various goals or objectives for the participation of minority and women-owned businesses in City procurement opportunities. These goals are based upon empirical evidence, as required by the U.S. Supreme Court in its decision in CITY OF RICHMOND V. J.A. CROSON.ct. They apply only to services and commodities for which a past "disparity" in procurement opportunities has been documented. Achievement of these goals is sometimes impaired, however, by the purchasing procedures prescribed by the General Municipal Law. Under these procedures, public contracts usually must be awarded to the busi- ness or person who submits the lowest bid. This requirement provides no flexibility for a municipality to attempt to address the various disadvantages with which most minority and women-owned businesses are confronted. Among these disadvantages are the inexperience and relatively small size of most of these types of busi- nesses. As a result of these disadvantages, minority and women-owned businesses frequently are unable to compete economically with other, older and more established companies. The proposed bill would permit the City of Rochester to recognize these disadvantages and, within specified limits, to compensate for them. On an annual basis, it is expected that the provisions of the bill would apply to about 50-60 contracts with values totalling $1.8-$2.0 million.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the state.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 1204 2015-2016 Regular Sessions IN ASSEMBLY January 8, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. GANTT -- read once and referred to the Committee on Local Governments AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to giving the city of Rochester the power to prefer minority and women-owned busi- nesses in awarding public contracts The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 103 of the general municipal law, 2 as amended by section 1 of chapter 2 of the laws of 2012, is amended to 3 read as follows: 4 1. Except as otherwise expressly provided by an act of the legislature 5 or by a local law adopted prior to September first, nineteen hundred 6 fifty-three, all contracts for public work involving an expenditure of 7 more than thirty-five thousand dollars and all purchase contracts 8 involving an expenditure of more than twenty thousand dollars, shall be 9 awarded by the appropriate officer, board or agency of a political 10 subdivision or of any district therein including but not limited to a 11 soil conservation district to the lowest responsible bidder furnishing 12 the required security after advertisement for sealed bids in the manner 13 provided by this section, provided, however, that purchase contracts 14 (including contracts for service work, but excluding any purchase 15 contracts necessary for the completion of a public works contract pursu- 16 ant to article eight of the labor law) may be awarded on the basis of 17 best value, as defined in section one hundred sixty-three of the state 18 finance law, to a responsive and responsible bidder or offerer in the 19 manner provided by this section except that in a political subdivision 20 other than a city with a population of one million inhabitants or more 21 or any district, board or agency with jurisdiction exclusively therein 22 the use of best value for awarding a purchase contract or purchase 23 contracts must be authorized by local law or, in the case of a district 24 corporation, school district or board of cooperative educational EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD02690-01-5A. 1204 2 1 services, by rule, regulation or resolution adopted at a public meeting. 2 In any case where a responsible bidder's or responsible offerer's gross 3 price is reducible by an allowance for the value of used machinery, 4 equipment, apparatus or tools to be traded in by a political subdivi- 5 sion, the gross price shall be reduced by the amount of such allowance, 6 for the purpose of determining the best value. In cases where two or 7 more responsible bidders furnishing the required security submit identi- 8 cal bids as to price, such officer, board or agency may award the 9 contract to any of such bidders. Such officer, board or agency may, in 10 his or her or its discretion, reject all bids or offers and readvertise 11 for new bids or offers in the manner provided by this section; provided, 12 however, that in the city of Rochester, for public works and purchase 13 contracts up to one hundred thousand dollars, such contracts may be 14 awarded to a minority or woman-owned business certified as such by the 15 state of New York and located within the Rochester metropolitan statis- 16 tical area, as long as such award is based on contractor submissions in 17 response to a request for proposals and made pursuant to a minority and 18 woman-owned business enterprise program lawfully adopted by the city of 19 Rochester. In determining whether a purchase is an expenditure within 20 the discretionary threshold amounts established by this subdivision, the 21 officer, board or agency of a political subdivision or of any district 22 therein shall consider the reasonably expected aggregate amount of all 23 purchases of the same commodities, services or technology to be made 24 within the twelve-month period commencing on the date of purchase. 25 Purchases of commodities, services or technology shall not be arti- 26 ficially divided for the purpose of satisfying the discretionary buying 27 thresholds established by this subdivision. A change to or a renewal of 28 a discretionary purchase shall not be permitted if the change or renewal 29 would bring the reasonably expected aggregate amount of all purchases of 30 the same commodities, services or technology from the same provider 31 within the twelve-month period commencing on the date of the first 32 purchase to an amount greater than the discretionary buying threshold 33 amount. For purposes of this section, "sealed bids" and "sealed offers", 34 as that term applies to purchase contracts, (including contracts for 35 service work, but excluding any purchase contracts necessary for the 36 completion of a public works contract pursuant to article eight of the 37 labor law) shall include bids and offers submitted in an electronic 38 format including submission of the statement of non-collusion required 39 by section one hundred three-d of this article, provided that the 40 governing board of the political subdivision or district, by resolution, 41 has authorized the receipt of bids and offers in such format. Submission 42 in electronic format may, for technology contracts only, be required as 43 the sole method for the submission of bids and offers. Bids and offers 44 submitted in an electronic format shall be transmitted by bidders and 45 offerers to the receiving device designated by the political subdivision 46 or district. Any method used to receive electronic bids and offers shall 47 comply with article three of the state technology law, and any rules and 48 regulations promulgated and guidelines developed thereunder and, at a 49 minimum, must (a) document the time and date of receipt of each bid and 50 offer received electronically; (b) authenticate the identity of the 51 sender; (c) ensure the security of the information transmitted; and (d) 52 ensure the confidentiality of the bid or offer until the time and date 53 established for the opening of bids or offers. The timely submission of 54 an electronic bid or offer in compliance with instructions provided for 55 such submission in the advertisement for bids or offers and/or the spec- 56 ifications shall be the responsibility solely of each bidder or offererA. 1204 3 1 or prospective bidder or offerer. No political subdivision or district 2 therein shall incur any liability from delays of or interruptions in the 3 receiving device designated for the submission and receipt of electronic 4 bids and offers. 5 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided that the amend- 6 ments to subdivision 1 of section 103 of the general municipal law made 7 by section one of this act shall not affect the expiration of such 8 subdivision and shall be deemed to expire therewith.

Panama City Beach, FL---Florida State coaching legend Bobby Bowden continues to "work the circuit" representing the school he helped put on the map!
FILE - In this Dec. 31, 2007 file photo, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden looks up towards the scoreboard during the first quarter against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl football game in Nashville, Tenn. Bowden will have to wait a little longer to find out if he'll lose up to 14 victories from his career coaching record.

Friday coach Bowden taking part in the annual golf fundraiser for Florida State Panama City, the 23rd time in the event's 24 years he's participated.
He played in both the morning and afternoon rounds, taking time to talk the players from each during lunch will fell in between the rounds.
Coach also making time to talk to us in between rounds, and we spoke with him about, among other things, this past season,
FSU's third national championship.
"I'll remember it as one of the best teams they've had." Bobby told us.
"I really don't know how good they are, they beat everybody so bad. To come back against Auburn like they did and win that game that showed you how good they are, which you don't know, all you know is that their dadgum good. It was good because you're hoping to see Florida State get back on top. You felt like they belonged there. And it's great to see them get back on top."
Coach went on to say he's proud of the job Jimbo Fisher is doing, winning a national title in just four years. Bowden adding he's not surprised, he's know Jimbo was going to make a great coach since the days Fisher was an assistant for Bobby's son Terry at Auburn.
As for defending that national title coach Bowden says the boys are going to have to guard against being overconfident, though Bobby says he's pretty sure Jimbo will do a good job of preventing that from happening.

Broken Hegemonies
Publication Year: 2003
"... a book of striking originality and depth, a brilliant and quite new interpretation of the nature and history of philosophy." -- John Sallis
In Broken Hegemonies, the late distinguished philosopher Reiner Schürmann offers a radical rethinking of the history of Western philosophy from the Greeks through Heidegger. Schürmann interprets the history of Western thought and action as a series of eras governed by the rise and fall of certain dominating philosophical ideas that contained the seeds of their own destruction. These eras coincided with their dominant languages: Greek, Latin, and vernacular tongues. Analyzing philosophical texts from Parmenides, Plotinus, and Cicero, through Augustine, Meister Eckhardt, and Kant, to Heidegger, Schürmann traces the arguments by which these ideas gained hegemony and by which their credibility was ultimately demolished. Recognizing the failure of ultimate norms, Broken Hegemonies questions how humanity today is to think and act in the absence of principles.

Shortly before his death, and prior to its publication in French, Reiner Schürmann asked me to translate Des Hégémonies brisées into English. He provided me with the manuscript of the French as well as sections of the book that had been translated by others. While often benefiting from the work of others, I have translated the text from "scratch," often drawing on the felicitous renderings of others. Clearly Schürmann...

The pages that follow are meant to be read as a contribution to the age old "doctrine of principles." Philosophers have never stopped speculating about this principal Greek legacy. Today the business of principal principles seems to have been robbed of its heritage. What can be learned from its loss? May it actually represent a gain for us? These are good enough reasons to examine the operations that have been carried...

pp. 51-54
Parmenides, it has been said from antiquity, is the father of philosophy. He was the first to place discursive reason in the service of intuitive thought. He was also the first to designate the one problem worthy of a philosopher, the problem of being. He carried out this act of paternity by arguing that being is one. His predecessors, as well as all those after him who distrust argumentation,...

The question of how many paths does not seem to pose any problem. Does Parmenides not oppose "the one, which is" to "the other, which is not" (2.3 and 5)? Whatever this "one" may be which is or is not, the two propositions, "it is" and "it is not," present themselves in the form of an alternative. And the text leaves no doubt about the import of this disjunction. Its "either-or" constrains all thinking--"it is" and...

It is not difficult to convince oneself that this double inclusion articulates the law. The goddess straightaway makes use of the one that she reveals so as to distinguish between the uses we can make of opposed concepts, namely, the absurd use of contradictions, the scatterbrained use of contraries. The one is directly put to work in order to exclude the builders of the absurd and to bring order to the scatterbrained.

Parmenides, it is said, gave his native city of Elea its constitution. Like Solon, he therefore would have been a man of the law, in word and in deed (an expression that does not presuppose "the separation of theory and practice," but that, since Homer,70 is a standard formula for speaking of the unity of a life--or, in the negative case, of a contradiction in a person's character). If Parmenides is the first to have spoken of...

The "it is" joins contraries in a struggle; hence the precariousness of the world for Parmenides. To an ear divinely instructed, the undertow toward the absent makes itself heard with as much sonority as the tumult of the present. There is a double dictate whose pulls are opposed without a common genus and that ceaselessly vary their configurations. Taken up, heard, obeyed in isolation, neither of these two...

The power of the one gives force to laws. It legitimizes the absent forces, excluded by a nomothesis, just as much as it does the present ones, retained by this thesis. A double strategy is thus at work in the justification of norms. Henology expresses the dissension of force--a dissension that is, and that must be--by placing us amidst the chiastic legislative/transgressive push and pull. Now, what is it that runs through the...

When we now read some of Plotinus's texts our study will involve addressing pre- cise questions to these texts which stem from the reading of Parmenides: Above all, how does the initiatory impulse of natality suffer the counter-blow {contre-temps} of mortality (chapter 7), and more generally, how does time {temps} effect the stable referent which is the one (chapter 6). Thus for the moment Plotinus will thus speak on behalf of the closure of the...

The one is not a being, not a something. This is clearly indicated in the first lines of Plotinus's treatise On the One: "It is due to the one that all beings are beings." (En. VI, 9 [9], 1, 1). Why can one not say of the one that it is something, a being? "The one is in all respects first, but Intelligence, ideas and beings are not first." (ibid. 2, 30; my emphasis). The derivative status of beings follows from their chief quality,..

"How did the one not remain in itself?" (En. V, 1 [10], 6, 6). Even though this question seems, by all rights, a source of insoluble perplexity, Plotinus nonetheless answers. The treatise which gives the answer--and which in turn has all it needs to perplex the reader--is entitled: "On the Freedom and the Will of the One" (En. VI, 8 [39]). How did the one, immobile beyond eternity, not remain in itself? Here is the...

The Romans are not considered to have been particularly sensitive to the tragic. But if sensibilities are one thing, the argumentative strategies therein are another.

When philosophy began to speak Latin, nature came to exert a regulative force in it. For a millennium and a half, nature will determine the conditions according to which what is must show itself.

Do not these lines read as a paraphrase of Antigone justifying herself before Creon? She had invoked the "unwritten and unshakable laws of the gods."

The transgressive strategies that topple a hegemony result from singularizations and from a temporalization which renders them capable of being narrated; such is the work of indetermination--and therefore of death--which inevitably ruins the de- terminant work of life erecting normative constructions.

The historians of ideas teach that the will became a philosophical issue at the end of antiquity.58 If we recall the difficulties the Neoplatonists had in saying, if not why, at least how the one was not content in its solitude but exteriorized itself in order to constitute what is other than it, then we may be tempted to chalk this innovation up to Alexandrian henology.

At the end of the Middle Ages the natura which for a millennium had been called upon to legitimize all laws of knowing and acting disintegrates.

Eckhart in no way contends that "God's will is above his intellect." Rather, this is the way the Scotists speak when they deprive the natural order of its source in the divine intellect and thereby render it essentially contingent. Eckhart, in a way, does worse. He argues that this order depends on God and does so with such a passion for immanence that this order has to pre-exist in God's very ground--where it necessarily...

In these four points, Eckhart outlines as many strategies for thinking otherwise than in the name of nature. The group is obviously less than systematic.

In the exhortation to non-attachment, this descriptive event signifies "becoming free." The points that follow this...

Is the law, as these lines suggest, a weapon to brandish in the defense of our passions? A passion turned into a weapon, perhaps? A singular passion--the passion for some singular--which desire would promote, exalt, institute as a universal rule? If this is the way it is, if the law first of all protects this or that particuar private pas- sion, then public law will prove of rather modest extraction. As in all dazzling ascents,...

With Luther and Kant, self-consciousness comes to exercise a regime. For an entire epoch, which is hardly past, it will govern the manner by which every object of experience must be constituted. This comes to pass in the time of Copernicus. Self-consciousness thus finds itself promoted to an ultimate referent, constitutive of phenomenality as an ultimate authority--a hegemonic fantasm.
