Private Equity Sniffing Out Motorola, Nortel Deals?
With Nortel already in bankruptcy and Motorola mired in a slog of bad news following its unsuccessful attempt to spin off its struggling handset unit, rumors are swirling that private equity firms are circling the troubled companies.Nortel has already collapsed into bankruptcy protection while Motorola simply keeps collapsing with its stock price currently just a few ticks above its 52-week low. The ongoing woes of the former tech titans is now drawing the attention of private equity firms, according to rumors swirling around the Internet.
According to the Financial Times, at least two private equity firms are investigating the possibility of buying Motorola's failing handset unit and combing it with assets cherry-picked from telecommunications supplier Nortel's bankruptcy proceedings. Quoting an unnamed source "with knowledge of the situation," Advent International is seeking partners to take over Motorola's handset division as well some Nortel units.
Advent International is a global buyout firm with offices in 15 countries on four continents. The firm focuses on international buyouts, strategic restructuring opportunities and growth buyouts in five core sectors. Since its founding in 1984, Advent has raised $24 billion in private equity capital and, through its buyout programs, has completed more than 250 transactions valued at more than $40 billion in 40 countries.
The Financial Times story claims CVC Capital Partners, another global private equity and investment advisory firm, was approached by Advent International to pursue a deal combining assets from Motorola and Nortel. CVC declined to participate in the deal.
A year ago, Motorola announced it planned to spin off its ailing handset division, but the economy went south and the crumbling credit markets rendered the grand plan moot. Faced with hard reality, Motorola began cutting jobs, axing approximately 3,000 workers in the fourth quarter of 2008 alone.
Then things really turned bad. The job cuts didn't stanch the bleeding and sales continued to tumble, with once-proud Motorola falling to fourth place among handset makers behind market leaders Nokia, Samsung and LG. Motorola took the next inevitable step Jan. 14, announcing that another 4,000 employees-3,000 in the handset division-would be given immediate pink slips.
Sanjay Jha, the co-CEO of Motorola who was brought in from Qualcomm in August to lead the now failed spinoff, said in January he hopes a commitment to and a leap of faith with Google Android and Microsoft Windows Mobile as Motorola's future operating systems will turn the tide for the company. Jha said in October 2008 that Motorola would ditch at least four operating systems, including Symbian, to focus on developing mid-tier phones running Android and high-end enterprise devices operating on Windows Mobile.

Embodied Terrain - Studio Scoliosis, yoga & your strong fluid spine
Yoga for Scoliosis Australia
Yoga for scoliosis and backcare Private sessions in Brisbane, Australia, with Narelle Cater-Quinlan.
Entering a private session is stepping into exquisite care and attention. Time is taken to hear your story, and to listen to what you are needing. To learn about the ways you move and the ways you want to move. To help you change your experiences of your strong, fluid, oh so beautiful spine.
You begin by scheduling an initial Assessment session. We spend 80 minutes together in the studio, talking, observing your movement, beginning asana.
Most folk follow this with a four session block, each 55 minutes duration. This time together allows greater exploration of the territory of asana and the beginnings of crafting a home practice for you. Your home practice is where the real change is enabled. Your consistent relationship with your spine, through yoga that is chosen and modified for your uniqueness.
We work at a pace that allows us to see where your movement strategies could be assisted by some re-patterning and support, where the awareness of your inner landscape may be a little hazy, and we re -invoke those voices. All in service to your ease of movement. And to your breath flowing unimpeded through your body. A calling to your embodiment and to your freedom, both, your birthrights.
Whilst we work quite intensively with props (particular yoga equipment) in the studio, you will be shown how to adapt your asana in your home environment, so you can practice effectively at home.
Much of my work involves some level of hands on. A deep communion, a listening, to your body's voice in the continuum of its fluid field. An offering, invitation, and partnering in new movement choices.

PIKEVILLE – The University of Pikeville women's basketball team snapped a four-game losing streak on Saturday, likely keeping itself ranked in the NAIA Coaches' Top-25 Poll at No. 21.
UPIKE opened play last week with an 84-68 loss to No. 4 Campbellsville, but bounced back in the win column two days later with an 83-50 rout of St. Catharine. That win helped the Bears drop just two spots in Tuesday's rankings, as well as remaining one of 16 teams to appear in every poll this season.
The Mid-South Conference continued to show its strength, tying the Frontier Conference for the most ranked teams with four each. No. 4 Campbellsville leads the way, followed by No. 9 Shawnee State (Ohio), No. 21 UPIKE and No. 22 Lindsey Wilson. Georgetown is listed among others receiving votes.
Our Lady of the Lake (Texas) remained the nation's top-ranked team, claiming eight of the 10 available first-place votes with the help of its NAIA-leading 22-game winning streak. Third-ranked Columbia (Mo.) picked up the remaining first-place nods.
UPIKE currently leads the NAIA in six different statistical categories, including total assists (469), assists per game (18.8), scoring (86.4), total points (2,160) and total offensive rebounds (1,186).
The Bears play their next three games on the road, taking road trips to Cumberlands on Saturday, Cumberland (Tenn.) on Feb. 25 and Lindsey Wilson on Feb. 27.

Kia Shine ft. Jim Jones - I Be Everywhere (Respect My Grind)
By Shawn Alexander Roy | 10 years ago
Buy Song
Step off and respect Kia Shine's grind. If you have a change of heart though, you can mock him all you want and he provides a list of places where in the single Be Everywhere. With a slightly amateur beat and beginner lyrics "I was at the super bowl and believe me it was freezing cold," the collaboration with Dipset member Jim Jones might not get the shine it attempts to find.

Kawarimi no Naruto
Hey all. I know you probably hate me for abandoning two fics in a row, but to be honest, they were lead ups to this I guess. I took ideas I really wanted and, eventually, they boiled down to this. I am sick and tired of super Naruto fics where he gets his strength from some bloodline or the Kyuubi or where he magically gets a summoning contract just because he is him. Honestly, after to read enough of them, they all start to run together. That is why I am writing this fic. Naruto will develop strength over time, and things will actually play out somewhat realistic to Naruto's persona, if toned down a bit. So, here begins what I believe is the first fic of its kind, prepare yourselves, read, and review.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its content.
Chapter 1: Limitations.
"Do you know why the people of Konoha hate you? Why they despise you?"
"w-why? Why? WHY?"
"Because he sealed it inside you. That's right, he sealed it within you, and you have become its incarnate. YOU ARE THE KYUUBI NO KITSUNE NO YOUKAI!" He shouted with glee, spinning the giant shuriken in his hand before hurling it at the boy before him.
Frozen in terror, he didn't move a muscle, until a black mass appeared before him. Suddenly, the panting form of his teacher was over him, blood seeping out of the corners of his mouth and onto the blond boy's face.
"Why?" The blond boy whispered. "Why would you save… a demon like me?"
"Because you aren't a demon. You are much like me, when I was younger.. I played pranks all the time, always trying to get people to notice me. I know how it feels, Naruto, to be all alone. You are not the demon, you are just you… Uzumaki Naruto."
The silver haired figure up in the trees began laughing, before preparing his second shuriken. "He doesn't really care for you, and you want to know why? Because you killed his parents, Demon."
And suddenly… Iruka wasn't there anymore. A lightning charged shuriken took his place, the upper half of Iruka on Naruto's left, his lower half on the right, blood splattering Naruto leaving barely any orange visible beneath it. All he heard was the man's whispers, right before it hit.
"Live, protect, love, Naruto."
And with that, the giant electrically charged shuriken embedded itself within Naruto's gut, as his slowly closing eyes watched the silver haired man escape with the scroll.
"Bloody kid really fucked up this time" a muttering came from down the hallway of the strange sewer.
Naruto looked around, his clothing now somehow clean, a red glow emanating from the end of the hallway he was in, lighting up the water around his feet, the foul smell of sewage and the pipes above his head giving a dreary feel to Naruto's already down-trodden state of mind.
Trudging down the hallway towards the glow, he figured he'd have to face his demons someday. Oh how right he was, and how much he wished he was wrong.
Arriving in the darkness, the child watched apathetically as lights lit up the large cage before him, and a claw shot out from between the bars, going straight through his body without ever touching it at all. Naruto felt no fear, because it would be meaningless, he felt no hatred because there was nothing worth being angry for, no anxiety or excitement because nothing could bring his 'older brother' back.
"How nice to finally meet my host, one with a spine for once". It was a little known fact that the Kyuubi had had multiple vessels in his lifetime, including at one point a Hyuuga whom he mutated over time to create the sharingan, and a young Kaguya who he'd given the ability to morph his body despite his bone structure.
Naruto remained silent, he knew who the Thing behind the bars had to be. The Kyuubi. As if confirming this train of thought, two red eyes peered out of the darkness, watching him.
"What have you come here for? Knowledge? Death? Or are you here simply to annoy me, food?"
Naruto moved forward, up to the gate. "I have come here for nothing, but an explanation… Why am I here?"
"Because you nearly died. Because a giant shuriken lodged itself into your body and electrocuted you. Did you not notice? I am merely here to keep you alive, vessel. As soon as I can figure out a way out of here, your life is forfeit, but until then I suggest you live. Oh, and by the way, I figured you should know something."
A questioning glance from the boy told the ancient fox that the boy hadn't yet noticed, much to the nine-tailed fox's amusement.
"You can barely use chakra. You have a gigantic amount of it, but due to recent damage to your inner coils, what with a giant electrically charged shuriken in your gut, you can barely use enough for the E rank techniques you already know, and that clone technique you learned since it actually splits your chakra instead of using it. Anyway, good luck!"
And with that reassuring comment, Naruto was kicked out of his own mind, a rather odd experience as it meant temporally having no thoughts whilst he actually woke up.
Naruto was now lying face-up in a hospital bed, an awful headache plaguing his mind while he looked around, taking in his room. It was white, of course, and due to the extra healing Kyuubi gave him, and the fact that none of the hospital personnel actually wanted him to live, he was hooked up to no machines. Heck, he didn't even have an IV. There was a bookcase for him, but as usual, there were no books on it. Taking some time to himself, Naruto thought about Iruka's death.
Of course, this hit Naruto deeply on an emotional level. Sure, he had been a harsh teacher, but even while knowing he had a demon in him, Iruka had sworn to Naruto's face that he didn't believe he was a demon. Naruto knew life was hard, that people died, and that one day, he too would die. It was just shocking to gain someone important, then lose them so quickly afterwards. Thinking back on the few times the man had either treated him to ramen, or talked with him after class genuinely concerned with his progress, Naruto vowed that he would take Iruka's encouragement to heart. He would become Hokage like he'd always said, even with these new limits, and he would 'Live, protect, and love.'
'But that's my problem. Being Hokage requires having 1000 techniques. Sure, there are some non-combat E-rank techniques, but not all that many. And I only know one move that splits chakra rather than channels it, and that is Kage Bunshin. No, I really needed to come up with combinations… 1000 combinations using only Kage Bunshin, Kawarimi, and henge, and maybe a few other E-ranks. I can pull this off… I have years. Can't be that hard to figure out how to split chakra.'
Just as he finished this line of thought, in walked the Hokage, once again angry that the hospital had claimed that the 'Demon-child' hadn't needed medical assistance and left him unattended, not that Naruto minded.
"Ojji-san!" Naruto exclaimed.
The Old Hokage was happy to see Naruto, ripped orange jacket and pants, black shirt, spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and all that made the child up. "Hello Naruto-kun."
"About.. ano, Iruka-niisan?"
"He.. He was burned earlier today, his name added to the monument."
"Oh… Well, it's okay, I, I have taken his last words to heart… I'll be okay Ojji-san, as long as I become a great ninja like he'd wanted me to.. but I seem to have hit a little snag there."
"Eh?" The Hokage was broken from his reverie, surprised at Naruto's seeming acceptance of death. 'Maybe the fox had something to do with it?'
"I can't use chakra for anything more than E-rank techniques and Kage-Bunshin, or so the… fox told me."
"You know about your tenant?" The Hokage asked, shocked.
"Yes, but I'm not angry. I can see why you wouldn't want me to know. But Iruka-niisan" The Hokage and Naruto both cringed at the suffix as the boy clearly hadn't gotten over him, the tear on his cheek as evidence "Said that I wasn't the fox, just its container… I wouldn't have wanted to know that so long ago."
"Er, Naruto, we are going to need to have a long talk about all of this."
(Hours Later)
Naruto sat in his apartment, slurping down ramen. He had gotten home only minutes earlier, the Hokage having given him a Konoha Hitai-ate to signify his passing, due to having mastered the Kage Bunshin technique. They had a long talk about death, the Kyuubi, and how Naruto hadn't given up his dream. The Hokage was actually quite surprised when Naruto asked for a book on "That mathy stuff with gravity" which the Hokage figured to be civilian schooling, like geometry, trigonometry, chemistry, and physics. The Hokage had given Naruto a pass to the library with his seal on it, and told Naruto that he could go there any time he wished.
The Hokage also clued Naruto in on a bit of his current condition the boy hadn't thought about. With such a low maximum of chakra the boy could use, his control would be better than anybody else's for low rank techniques. And because of his high chakra capacity, the number of times Naruto could use an E-rank technique was basically limitless… All Naruto needed to start on his 996 techniques (Since he could now use Kawarimi, Henge, normal Bunshin, and Kage Bunshin) was to get the speed and skill of the techniques up to the point where he could do them without handseals.
Naruto, after checking out a few books, he headed back to his apartment. Now done with his ramen, he slipped off to sleep. Tomorrow he would start on technique number 5 of 1000.
(Next Day)
Naruto walked into the classroom, only 8 other notable students there, all chatting. Ino and Sakura were arguing over who got to sit next to Sasuke, since he had chosen to sit next to an aisle, so he would only have to deal with one banshee.
Shino was up in the top right corner of the classroom, talking to a moth he'd found on the windowsill. Chouji was eating, Shikamaru was sleeping, Kiba and his dog were chasing their tails, though Kiba caught his and was rubbing it under the table. Hinata blushed with her Byakugan on whilst watching Kiba touch his 'tail' and Naruto was now at the front of the room, reading a book with the words 'Geometry Level 1' printed on the front cover, meant for civilian schooling.
Sasuke, finding it within his brooding power to speak, spoke over the two banshees who stopped dreamily at the sound of his voice. "Dobe, why're you here, you didn't graduate."
Naruto simply sighed, then pointed at his Hitai-ate… the one the Hokage gave him from off of Iruka's body. The cloth was still stained with his teacher's blood. "What does this look like?"
Akamaru suddenly started whining and yipping, and suddenly Kiba pointed an accusing finger at Naruto… an accusing finger with white stuff on it… white sticky stuff. "Why does your Hitai-ate smell like Iruka-sensei?"
Naruto snorted in amusement. "First off, how do you know what Iruka-sensei smells like?" The class was taken aback as they realized he had known, then snickered… while Hinata sighed and muttered, much to Kiba's unsaid chagrin "Why do all the wild ones have to be gay?… At least there's still Naruto-kun…"
Naruto continued "And it smells like him because it is his. He gave it to me when he-"
Naruto was cut off by the Hokage entering the room with w list in hand. "When he had an accident during Naruto's retest last night. He'd forgotten one for Naruto, so he gave him his own." The Hokage said.
"Now, I will announce your teams. Now, since they are main characters, I will announce theirs first, as no one cares about the rest of you. I mean uh…. We are saving the best for last, now: Team 7 will be Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura" There was a pause as Sakura squealed in delight. "And Yamanaka Ino. Your sensei is Hatake Kakashi."
There was another pause as suddenly a cat-fight broke out, Ino starting out by ripping off Sakura's shirt… to reveal an almost completely flat chest. In that instant, Naruto's crush on her was gone…
The Hokage shrugged his shoulders and continued the announcements. "Team 8 is Sai, Hyuuga Hinata, and Inuzuka Kiba. Your sensei is Yuuhi Kurenai."
There was a mutter of "Darn… two gay guys" from Hinata, which was heard because of the silence in the room due to Sakura ripping off Ino's shirt in the continuing cat-fight, to reveal b-cup breasts. Snickering and wide-eyes followed accordingly, while the Inuzuka began playing with his 'tail' again.
"Team 10 is Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, and Aburame Shino. Your sensei is Sarutobi Asuma."
The Hokage finished reading off the names, and only Team 7 and Naruto remained in the room, Sakura and Ino having finished their spat and repaired their clothing, though the Uchiha was actually now somewhat interested in Ino. She would make strong children.
Naruto looked up at the Hokage and asked "Why do I have no team?"
A whisper of "Dobe" came from the Uchiha, but Naruto ignored it. "Because I have placed you on team Gai. One of their members graduated to chuunin in the last exam and they need another member. Meet at training ground 8 tomorrow at 6 AM. Your members are Rock Lee and Tenten, your sensei is Maito Gai."
With a nod, Naruto left to get more books from the library before heading home.
(Naruto's Apartment)
Naruto was in his apartment, in his bedroom reading, whilst a Kage Bunshin was making ramen for him. Suddenly, Naruto felt a shadow of pain in the left side of his body, simultaneously hearing a poof of smoke from the other room. Peeking into the other room, he noticed a spilled pot of boiling water and the remains of a clone, the smoke fading away.
An idea sparking in his head, Naruto formed another clone, telling it to go read a book, after reading the first chapter and gaining an understanding of it, to dispel itself. Naruto, the original, headed into the other room, making a few cups of ramen. Just as he finished eating his lunch, he heard the poof and a rush of knowledge entered his mind, causing a minor headache. However, he learned what the clone learned.
Creating numerous clones, he started them on the books he'd gotten, having four clones help him. By the end of the day, he had a basic understanding of angles and degrees, and the three planes 'X, Y, and Z'. And what was more, he figured out that dispelling them one by one helped reduce the effects of the transfer.
Heading to bed with a grin on his face, he set his alarm for 5:30 AM and settled into his covers. Oh yes, this would be fun.
(Next Day)
Naruto arrived at the training ground to find two…things. They had green spandex suits, gigantic eyebrows, bowl-cuts, and were hugging with a sunset genjutsu behind them which Naruto didn't even try to dispel. Though, he figured even if he was the greatest genjutsu master the world has ever seen, he probably wouldn't have been able to dispel it. In fact, their only redeeming feature he could see so far was their orange legwarmers. Yes, he wanted a pair for himself damn it.
Off to the side was a girl in a pink chinese-style top and black pants that were, for lack of a better word, poofy. She looked something like a panda with her hair in buns on her head, but it actually made her look kinda cute.
"Um, hi… I'm here to join team Gai?" Naruto said loudly but nervously into the clearing. The two Things, most likely Rock Lee and his sensei Maito Gai looked up, before they rushed over.
The larger of the two held out his hand which Naruto accepted, though he grimaced as he felt the firm handshake rattling his hand's bones. "Welcome to my team. I see your flames of youth must be very bright for you to join a team ahead of you! If you don't fit in this team I swear I will run around Konoha 500 times on my hands with a giant turtle on my back!"
Suddenly the two green spandex monsters were dragged away by the girl, who promptly walked up before Naruto's stunted growth form. "Not much to replace Neji" she said quietly before offering her hand for a handshake. "Hi, I'm Tenten, those two are Gai-sensei and Lee. Our old team mate was Hyuuga Neji, but he's a chuunin now. He may come around from time to time. Anyway, I hope you get used to those two quickly else it will drive you insane. Also… we want to do the chuunin exam quickly, pick up your training, rookie."
Her voice carried no edge, despite the stern look on her face when she told him to 'pick up the pace'. Naruto also realized he gained a nickname for life the moment she called him 'rookie'. Silently he thought to himself that she would probably call him that even if he made Hokage. Still, the term was more endearing than 'Demon Brat'.
"Now" Started the voice of Gai as he appeared before the two of them as well, Lee in front of him and to the right. "I believe we should introduce ourselves to our new team mate. I'll start."
"I am Maito Gai, the Green Beast of Konoha. I like training and helping people with their Flames of YOUTH! I dislike hip attitudes like my eternal rival Kakashi's, my hobbies are training and writing, and my specialty is taijutsu. My dream for the future is to pass on my taijutsu prowess to the next generation."
"Your Flames of youth burn brightly! Yosh! I am Rock Lee. I like training, I dislike people who consider themselves natural geniuses instead of working for their strength. My hobbies are training and… training. My dream for the future is to become a great ninja with only taijutsu, proving that hard work overcomes natural genius. My new youthful friend, I should warn you, I only use taijutsu as I cannot use anything else, but I am still looking forward to sparring my flames of youth against yours.
"I am Tenten" A roar of ominous thunder from the strangely clear blue sky made her last name impossible to hear "That keeps happening!"
"Your flames of youth cause the sky to roar oh youthful team mate!"
"Shut up Lee. Anyway, I like weapons and training. I dislike green spandex, loud people, idiots, spoiled brats, and people who assume kunoichi are weak. My hobbies are forging weapons and training. My dreams for the future are to meet Tsunade-sama and to become Konoha's best ninja, proving kunoichi are just as strong as their male counterparts."
"I am Uzumaki Naruto. I like training and making new techniques. I dislike the privileged and most of the villagers, but I don't blame them for their behavior, they are simply ignorant. My hobbies are reading and making new techniques. My dream is to become Hokage. However, I must say I am like Lee in some facets… recently I lost the ability to channel large amounts of chakra. The only moves I can do are E-rank, and the Kage Bunshin technique as it splits chakra rather than channeling it. I plan to become Hokage by creating 996 techniques out of the three basic academy jutsu, E-rank elemental jutsu, and Kage Bunshin"
The three other members of Team Gai had their eyes bugged out. Making 996 jutsu out of E rank jutsu and a knijutsu. Many jounin didn't even create more than a technique or two in their lifetime. Heck, the Hokage had only created a few dozen, most of his simply being ones he had figured out from other countries or gotten from the rest of the village, or the Hokage Library.
"That is quite a goal Naruto-san! You will need your flames of youth to burn brightly in order to achieve such a task! First off, I must offer for you to join the green beasts of Konoha!"
Gai held out to Naruto a green spandex suit, but Naruto replied quickly to it, shaking his head. "I don't like green… I like orange."
Suddenly, Gai turned around, and began fishing through a variety of storage scrolls, before finally pulling out an orange spandex suit. Naruto happily took it, despite Tenten sighing, and slipped off into the woods, putting it on before coming back. Gai also offered him the orange leg-warmers, and attached 30 pounds of weight to each leg. Naruto would be feeling that.
"Now, we have quite a simple schedule here, Naruto-san. First, we do taijutsu training, then team exercises, then we get 2 D-rank missions done, then do more team training, then end at 7 PM. I will help you in anything after the two missions, but the time before that is predominantly physical exercise. Now, let the new Team Gai get on with the training! YOSH!
(Two Weeks Later)
Team Gai was standing in the Hokage's office awaiting their first missions for the day. They had completed 14 D-rank missions in the past two weeks, and Naruto was getting sick of it. They'd captured that damn cat eight times. EIGHT TIMES! One day they caught the stupid thing TWICE!
"Now, we have a few D-ranks you all can still do. There is a house that needs to be painted, a garden that needs weeding, Oh! And Tora has escaped again!"
Naruto was shaking silently while the man spoke, while the Hokage sat by and let this man give out crap missions to Naruto, his team mates wearing defeated looks. At the mention of Tora, he just couldn't take it anymore.
"THESE AREN'T MISSIONS! These are jokes! We are SHINOBI ("and kunoichi" Naruto added because not including that word would mean a beating from Tenten) and we shouldn't be wasting our skills in the village doing chores!'
The Hokage smiled at the outburst. It had been the first time since Iruka's death he had acted as his old brash self. He was much more calm and collected now, but he still acted like the old Naruto every once in a while.
"Naruto-baka!" Tenten yelled, smacking him over the head, while Lee said that Tenten's flames of youth were dying out. Gai bowed to the Hokage in apology, but everything stopped when the Hokage began laughing.
"What's so funny?" Naruto asked the still snickering Hokage.
"Heh, eh, ahhhh, funny. I was just wondering how long it would be before you asked me. Well, here ya go, it is a C-rank. There is a town to the northwest that has been having some bandit problems. Shouldn't be a big deal for you, considering Tenten and Lee have done this before. Though Naruto, maybe I should place you somewhere else and give them someone more experienced."
"Like HELL old man. That's my C-rank, Let's go!" Naruto said, while he performed a kawarimi on the scroll, sending it to his hand and replacing it in the Hokage's hand was a small note that said 'Thanks' with a chibi of a fox Naruto smiling.
Inside Naruto's head said fox was berating the boy… but he could not be heard.
Gai turned to his team and got the scroll of Naruto before telling them all to meet at the north gate at 7:00 AM and to be ready to leave.
Chapter End.
Well, there ya go. Next chapter we see the beginnings of Naruto's rise to power, with his original E-rank jutsu based techniques. By the way, I don't believe I myself could create 996 different jutsus from E-ranks, but I already have a set list Naruto WILL have that has, as of right now, over 90 combinations. If you have ideas for your own, feel free to post them. Remember, they must be comprised of only the three academy jutsu, Kage Bunshin, and E-rank elemental jutsu like something that will move a glass's worth of water, or create a match-light for lighting a fire. Also, if you have another idea for a move that could split chakra, feel free to recommend and explain it and I will consider adding it. I will get there, really.

David K - UAE - Feb 18, 2012
"I wanted to send a gift to my boyfriend in UK and am in one of those developing countries where the use electronic payment system is not available to pay online with a credit card, and my bf's birthday was on Saturday. I googled a weekend delivery facility and thanks God I found Giftbasketoverseas. I sent an email to them seeking confirmation that they would deliver on saturday and got a confiration response in the next 5 min... I was like waouwwwww... what a professional customer service! When order time came I wondered how will I pay? I went through their website and found offline payment methods suitable to my location, -a wire transfer to their bank account or western Union money transfer. I sent the cash via western union and communicated to them MCTN, they collected the cash then asked me for details of my order.. they created it.... The basket was delivered on the right day and at the correct location, my boyfriend was speechless when he received it... I really appreciated the professionalism of the service... Great!"

- Height: TBC
- Limited availability
descriptionMuscles and machines, Franky has everything. He has his toys in the toolbox on his limb and his figure is full of surprises. Flick on the switch on his neck to change his hair style. He has his shaved head and his bob cut. And when you want to him a more yakuza sort of look, slip the sunglasses head part on. The box above his right wrist includes all the tools he needs to maintain himself. Switch his large hands for the smaller hand parts on for him. There are times when he needs to deal with delicate work that demands accuracy. His left shoulder is a rocket launcher and there is another projectile weapon on his left wrist. And if these are not fun enough, uncover his stomach to reveal the hidden fridge. There are soft drinks inside already, help yourself.

I understand why you might have started the thread OP. I am always interested where people get their information from to make an informed decision about not vaxxing.
Mokeybear (10-08-2014)
My long winded point - if as a non vaxxer it riles you right up, don't click on the thread! and that doesn't mean I condone crappy behaviour. But sometimes recognising it's *your* achilles heel can help not have the blood boil lol
headoverfeet (10-08-2014),VicPark (10-08-2014)
Some anti-vaxers (I'm assuming - hoping! - it's a teeny minority and nobody I've seen on BH) are just plain crazy conspiracy theorists who think that Big Pharma is out to get them and the government is horribly corrupt and trying to make the population stupid by giving them vaccinations.
But I stress, teeny minority.
And, you know, autism.

beebs (14-08-2014),MilkingMaid (10-08-2014)
I think thats the point MM we cant even reply to those posts in the pro non vaxxing area without it being hijacked.
Really, you need a cup of tea and a good lay down hey.
I have plenty of ideas about raising kids etc etc BUT because I am comfortable with my decisions I don't feel the need to go ramming them down other peoples throats. Maybe you should spend some time being completely comfortable with your beliefs then you really wouldn't feel the need to defend yourself so appallingly.

The RogerEbert.com staff's Oscar pick for Best Director.
Roger Ebert became film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967. He is the only film critic with a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame and was named honorary life member of the Directors' Guild of America. He won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Screenwriters' Guild, and honorary degrees from the American Film Institute and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Ebert's Best Film Lists 1967 - present
The year's best film was the year's most intricately-designed puzzle, the story of a woman psychiatrist who tried to follow a con-man into the heart of his con. Lindsay Crouse starred as a therapist who tries to save the life of one of her patients, an addictive gambler, by appealing directly to the man who might be about to have him killed. The man, played by Joe Mantegna, exerts an almost instant fascination over her -- not because of sex appeal, although that is part of it, but because he invites her to be a spotter for him in a high-stakes poker game.
The therapist turns out to be as addictive as her patient, and she is skillfully drawn into a con game by Mantegna and Mike Nussbaum, as two old partners in deception who seem able to communicate telepathically. At first the audience feels superior; we can see what's happening to Crouse, even if she can't. Then we realize we've been trapped right along with her, in a labyrinthine plot where nothing is at it seems.
"House of Games" is the first film directed by the playwright and screenwriter David Mamet, and it is an ideal presentation of his style -- the elegantly simple dialog, clipped, turning back on itself, works with the set decoration and the barren urban landscapes to create a world which has been emptied of all bystanders, and narrowed down to the con and the mark. This is not only a great film, but one of the year's best entertainments.
This is a film to listen to as well as watch. Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin enter so effortlessly into the cadences of Louisiana that the sound track provides an uncanny sense of place. Quaid plays a vice cop who is not above participating in the department's illegal "widows and orphans" fund. Barkin is a local prosecutor. They become friends, survive some scrapes together, fall in love--and then wind up on opposite sides of a case in court.
Directed by Jim McBride, "The Big Easy" is one of the most definitely regional American films ever made; the music on the sound track underlines the specific sense of place, and the Barkin and Quaid characters seem to grow naturally out of the story. Neither the movie's romance nor its thriller aspects seem familiar; McBride and his actors particularly put a new spin on everything, even including the usual clichés about one-night stands. The late Charles Ludlam provides brilliant supporting work as Quaid's lawyer--but then all the supporting work in this movie is offbeat and precise, and so are the leads.
The original screenplay for this movie was written by Charles Bukowski, a Los Angeles cult novelist and poet who based it on his own life-a life spent largely in gutbucket saloons and the more disordered corners of Skid Row. The movie's obviously autobiographical hero is played by Mickey Rourke, in a performance that takes a lot of chances, and wins. And Faye Dunaway is brilliant in a comeback role as Wanda, the desperate blonde whose legs still look good but who will do almost anything for a drink. Rourke and Dunaway spend some days and nights together, trying to find poetry in sadness and sometimes succeeding, and director Barbet Schroeder is wise enough not to impose too much plot on these meandering adventures of two skuzzy but triumphantly human drunks.
Bernardo Bertolucci's grand epic was shot on location in the People's Republic of China, and here again, as in "The Big Easy," the location is one of the main players. Based on the life story of the child emperor Pu Yi, who assumed the Dragon Throne at the age of 3 and was shorn of all real power at 7 (before he was old enough, in any event, to have exercised it), the movie is unique among epics for being about a character who does not act, but is acted upon. Bertolucci shoots inside the Forbidden City to show us a medieval way of life that was eventually swept aside by the Chinese Communists who sent Pu Yi to a reeducation camp before his eventual rehabilitation as a humble Peking gardener. In his life is reflected the central development of 20th century history: How history ceased to be the stories of individuals, and became the stories of societies.
This is a sly, rambunctious comedy about a sprawling Italian-American family that occasionally trusts love, but distrusts almost everything else. Cher is inspired in the central role, as a widow in her late 30s who becomes engaged to a mother's boy (Danny Aiello) and then, when he flies to Sicily to be at his mother's deathbed, falls tumultuously in love with his bitter younger brother (Nicholas Cage). Other players in the family drama include great supporting work by Olympia Dukakis and Vincent Gardenia, as Cher's parents. Norman Jewison directed, and finds enough strangeness and poetry in this slapstick story to produce the year's best comedy.
Joe Orton was the playwright who stood Britain on its ear in the 1960s, with a series of cheeky comedies that thumbed their noses at good taste and convention, and helped usher in a new age of freedom on the London stage. His untidy personal life was less successful, and at the height of his success he was clubbed to death by his lover, who then killed himself. In this intelligent and spirited film by Stephen Frears, based on John Lahr's famous biography of Orton, Gary Oldham and Albert Molina create two of the best performances in any recent film, and Frears successfully illustrates the reckless compulsions and sick jealousy that led to Orton's death.
Woody Allen's movie remembered not only the radio days of the 1940s, but also life as it was lived then, when fantasies were more real because the radio let them happen in your head. He recreates several radio legends--from adventure serials to game shows to treacly morning breakfast programs--and he sees them all through the eyes of a bright young kid from Far Rockaway who is doubtless not unlike young Woody himself. The movie had a Felliniesque ability to spin several stories at the same time -- courtships and adulteries, gangland intrigues and a boy's loss of innocence -- and bring them altogether into a bittersweet, nostalgic New Year's Eve in Times Square.
This was the first film written and directed by James L. Brooks since the wonderful "Terms of Endearment," four years ago, and it is so lovingly crafted we can see he didn't hurry it. The movie is a romantic comedy which also manages to be an expose of TV network news, and a warning that the news and show business are becoming different terms for the same thing. Holly Hunter steals the show as a bright young TV producer who has a long-standing affection for Albert Brooks, one of the network's best reporters, but then feels attraction for William Hurt, as one of the network's less intelligent but sexier anchormen. The joke is that all three of these people would rather make television than love. Time after time, Brooks and his actors are able to find just the right word, the right gesture, to make the characters three-dimensional instead of caricatures.
This was the year's best action picture and maybe the best pure action comedy since "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Richard Donner directed the inspired pairing of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as two police partners whose radically different approaches to life make things rather strange when they work with each other. Gibson is depressed and reckless, Glover is a stable family man, and their entire world seems set up to exploit those facts. Police comedies are a dime a dozen. This is the best since "48 Hrs."
I don't know what director Bill Forsyth was trying to do in this movie, and I'm not sure he succeeded, but it will be a long time before I forget his attempt. His story is about two little girls whose mother commits suicide. Their aunt comes to take charge of them, and the aunt, played in another great performance by Christine Lahti, is a dreamy free spirit who may be mad or who may just be inhabited by a little more magic than the rest of us. As Lahti drifts further from reality with one of the girls, the other decides to bail out, and we are left wondering which choice was the right one.
The year's 11th through 20th best films:
11. "Less Than Zero" was a harrowing story of rich Beverly Hills kids in collision with cocaine. Robert L. Downey Jr. played the self-destructive victim with frightening accuracy, and James Spader was chilling as the drug dealer.
12. "No Way Out" was one of the year's best thrillers, starring Kevin Costner as a naval intelligence officer who seems inescapably implicated in a murder with heavy political overtones. Roger Donaldson directed, and Gene Hackman provided a complex and painfully indecisive cabinet secretary.
13. "Good Morning, Vietnam" starred Robin Williams as an irreverent, satirical disk jockey for Armed Forces Radio in the early days of the Vietnam War. Disrespectful of authority, he wins such support in the field that a friendly general gives him protection--until he goes too far.
14. "The Fringe Dwellers" was Bruce Beresford's affecting, little-seen portrait of an aborigine teenager coming to grips with adolescence, racism, and her own stubborn family. Although the movie seems to take place in a world far from our own, the heroine goes through universal experiences and emerges just about as her determined character would suggest she would.
15. "Roxanne" starred Steve Martin and Darryl Hannah in a warm-hearted update of Cyrano. The material would seem almost impossible to rework into a modern setting, but Martin succeeds effortlessly, the result is one of the sunniest and most warm-hearted movies of the year.
16. "Withnail and I," on the other hand, had a heart of flint. The story of two sardonic, poor and starving British actors, circa 1960, it follows them through rejection and failure, through schemes and disappointments, while all the time they hold utter despair at bay with bitter humor.
17. "Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll!" was the year's best musical documentary, a rollicking and sometimes revealing record of the attempt by Rolling Stone Keith Richard to stage a 60th birthday concert for Berry, at which the pioneer of rock and roll would at last be accompanied by a well-rehearsed backup band.
18. "Hoosiers" starred Gene Hackman as a small-town Indiana basketball coach trying to combine his school's athletic comeback with his own personal rehabilitation. In overall structure it was a predictable sports movie, but the particulars made it special.
19. "Jean de Florette" and "Manon of the Spring," designed to be seen together, were Claude Berri's ambitious, sweeping epic of French peasants and their land. The punishment for a crime in one generation is visited upon the next, and the next, in a series of cruel acts and poetic reprisals. Yves Montand gave one of the best performances of his life as a man who takes his personal immortality so seriously he is willing to murder to maintain it.
20. "Wall Street" was Oliver Stone's hard-driving, hard-boiled expose of greed on the street, with Michael Douglas as a stock manipulator who takes callow young Charlie Sheen under his wing and teaches him the ropes--including one he will eventually hang by.
The year 1987 saw more different movies open in America than in any other single year in decades. Fueled by the video boom, producers saw a good chance of recouping their investments one way or another, and although much of what they made was trash, there were also more good films last year than usual. Some of the other winners:
"My Sweet Little Village" was Jan Kadar's bittersweet comedy about a village in Czechoslovakia; "Light Of Day" was Paul Schrader's bitter family drama, with great work by Gena Rowlands and Joan Jett; "The Good Father" starred Anthony Hopkins as a divorced man masterminding his friend's battle for child custody; Alan Parker's adventurous "Angel Heart" had another one of those risky Mickey Rourke performances; Barry Levinson's "Tin Men" was a comic saga of aluminum siding salesmen; "Street Smart" contained one of the year's best supporting performances, by Morgan Freeman. "Hollywood Shuffle" was the now-legendary directorial debut of Robert Townsend, who begged, borrowed and dealt to get the right to prove himself with a satirical revue; Susan Seidelman's "Making Mr. Right" had John Malkovich in a dual role as a scientist and his own robot; "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn" was thoroughly disgusting and yet weirdly funny; Walter Hill's "Extreme Prejudice" centered on strong work by Nick Nolte and as a Texas sheriff; "The Witches of Eastwick" was the wicked comedy with Jack Nicholson as a satanic figure throwing a small town into turmoil; "Wish You Were Here" starred a newcomer, Emily Lloyd, as a definitely rebellious girl trying to grow up in an England that didn't much like her; "Back to the Beach," one of the year's most-overlooked comedies, starred Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello in a hilarious satire on the own beach party movies.
Michael Caine was excellent in two British thrillers, "The Whistle Blower" and "The Fourth Protocol." "Tampopo" was the brilliant cross between traditional Japanese values and the spaghetti Western. "The Big Town" had a good Matt Dillon performance as a young gambler. "The Princess Bride" was Rob Reiner's wise and witty sword-and-sorcery comedy. "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid," by Stephen Frears, was a bleakly comic look at life today in the underbelly of London. "The Hidden" was a low-budget film about aliens among us, surprisingly effective; John Hughes' "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" starred Steve Martin and John Candy as two opposites forced to share each other's destinies after they're stranded in Kansas at holiday time. "Three Men and a Baby" had that great scene of Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg trying to change a diaper. And "Dark Eyes" was the wistful love story starring Marcello Mastroianni as a man who lost both of the best women he ever met.

Lemon Nana: My Favorite Drink of Oman
The Appy Fizz advertisement in India calls itself the 'cool drink to hang out with'. After tasting the lemon nana on my recent trip to Oman, Appy Fizz is long forgotten and the cool drink to hang out with is the Lemon Nana, one of the most refreshing drinks in the Middle East. This natural drink made from crushed mint leaves, lemon juice, crushed ice, water and honey is like the perfect summer drink to have on a hot middle eastern afternoon.
Some locals have also known to add cucumber slices to this drink to increase its quenching capabilities. If you have this drink once, you are bound to have it on every hot afternoon. Such, is its its capability to reinvigorate you that you will forget the oppressive heat and rather become brave enough to face it. Though this drink is native to the Middle East, I would recommend everyone living in hot conditions to experiment with the ingredients and make this fabulous drink. Remember, the ideal composition is less mint, medium honey and lots of concentrated lemon juice and no sugar. Let me know how it is once you have made and given it a try.

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Yes the whitish collection which is there near and under the foreskin and the coronal sulcus. Its a sebaceous secretion. You need to maintain good personal hygeine. Wash the whole area by retracting the foresking as further as you can with a mild soap and after that apply a good powder everyday. Keep the area as dry as possible. It will go away. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain.

"There are other guys that have higher values," von Oelhoffen said. "That's just the way it is, and you've got to take care of those guys. We've got some good, young core guys that we need to keep on this team for the future. When they're ready, they'll let me know."
Von Oelhoffen, 34, is entering the last season of his contract, but he's not ready to retire; not after the way he performed Saturday night. Playing with a sore back, the Steelers' right defensive end showed he has plenty of strength and explosiveness left.
"I'm going to play four more years, regardless," he said. "I mean, I'm not going to leave here; I'm going to do everything I can to stay here. But, no, I've got goals, too. My body's fine. My body's great actually. I don't think anybody can match me physically."
Von Oelhoffen said his back pain is a result of his bed and chairs at St. Vincent College and that it will subside. By then it might be time to talk money.
The Steelers will suspend all negotiations Sept. 11 when the season opens.
"I'm probably on the bottom of their list of priorities," he said. "But that's completely understandable. This is a business."
Along with Joey Porter and Duce Staley, sitting out of Friday's preseason game at Washington (8 p.m. FOX) will be reserves Vontez Duff (shoulder), Chidi Iwuoma (shoulder) and Travis Kirschke (back).
Iwuoma is one of the gunners on the first punt team and will be replaced by Sean Morey, who'll be replaced at fullback by Mike Logan.
Coach Bill Cowher said Porter and Staley are "right on schedule" in rehabbing their knees. They're expected back for the opener, but Cowher said he's being cautious with Staley.
"With the situation we have at running back, we don't have to rush to get him back," Cowher said. "I think it's very important that we don't do that. We need him this season."
Alan Faneca missed Tuesday's practice with back stiffness. He was replaced at left guard by rookie Chris Kemoeatu.
Cowher will play the starters at least a half Friday night. "This will be the most extensively we use them," he said of the 4-game preseason.
Tommy Maddox will receive most of the second-half work at quarterback. In fact, he and Ben Roethlisberger could be the only two quarterbacks to make the roster. It's what Cowher did to start last season, and he's considering it again since Antwaan Randle El could take snaps in an emergency.
"You've got to entertain all of those things," Cowher said. "There are a lot of different combinations that come up. I don't know if we're leaning one way or another."
Brian St. Pierre began last season on the practice squad and is eligible to do so again.
Four linebackers – Andre Frazier, Arnold Harrison, Alonzo Jackson and Dedrick Roper – are competing for one roster spot. Cowher gave some clues about the front-runner at his Tuesday press conference.
"Those four guys, it's a battle," Cowher said. "I thought Roper played very well on special teams; Alonzo has been solid, nothing spectacular; and Andre has flashed some. I think these are battles where we're looking at special teams (and) we're looking at defensive play. We're going to be very cognizant of how many snaps they're getting so that we can evaluate them on an equal opportunity. That's why these final two games are important."
By his parameters, Cowher appears to be leaning toward Roper.
One week after he returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown, Ricardo Colclough was criticized by Cowher for his risky maneuvers Saturday night. Colclough muffed (and recovered) a bouncing punt; lost a yard each on two other returns; and fielded another at his own 10 with a defender nearby.
"What was he going to gain?" Cowher asked. "I'm glad it was in the preseason and hopefully it will be something he'll learn from. Maybe we'll get (Antwaan Randle) El back there this week. I'd like to get him one back there. I've got to get him a punt return. Maybe I'll give him the first one and then get Ricardo back there. I'm fine with him. You've got to have guys who are comfortable."
… with linebacker James Harrison:
Q: What made you do sit-ups after your touchdown Saturday?
A: I was already on the ground, so I figured I'd get a few in.
Q: When Joey Porter comes back, do you expect to return to the bench?
A: Yeah. Joey's the starter. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do – come in, back up.
Q: How long can you accept that after playing so well?
A: As long as I have to. I mean, there's nothing I can do about that.
On Monday, the Steelers cut running back Chad Scott and wide receiver Sam Simmons. The Steelers must cut their roster to 65 players by Aug. 30 and 53 players by Sept. 4. They currently have 84 players with six NFL Europe exemptions (Mike Barr, Janssen Patten, Joe Iorio, Ulish Booker, Ben Claxton and Josh Burr). With those six players, the Steelers can keep 71 until Sept. 4.

'By the Sea'
Rating: R
3 (out of 5) Globes
In 2015, Angelina Jolie Pitt's art film "By the Sea" has more in common with the stray evangelical dramas occasionally dropped into 3,000 theaters than it does any other mainstream release. The multiplex landscape has been homogenized into little but spectacles and franchises. That leaves the actress-filmmaker's deeply personal (which is not to say strictly autobiographical) missive easy to overrate, because it's different, as well as easy to underrate, because it's different. It's thrilling, if you will, to see something this ponderous, this brooding, this slow volleying for the same dollars that could be spent on "Spectre." Where that film has everything, this has next-to-nothing. (Although both have dynamite scenery and vacation attire.)
RELATED: "Brooklyn" is a melodrama deeply felt and deeply smart
The novelty of "By the Sea" — which is no less than a naked attempt to ape '60s French and Italian movies, especially those, like "Contempt" and "La Notte," about bad relationships — may quickly wear off. But what doesn't wear off, either annoyingly or excitingly, depending on who you are, is whether or not it's good. Has Jolie Pitt (as she's cumbersomely billed herself) made a flawed but noble film or one that's just flawed? The answer may go back and forth, depending on the scene. But underneath the stilted dialogue and the sometimes dodgy, sometimes close-enough attempts at capturing ennui (or, as they say, Antoniennui) is an overly serious film worth taking seriously.
The apparently very happy Jolie Pitts play the very unhappy Vanessa and Roland. It's an undisclosed time, maybe the '60s, maybe the early '70s, and they arrive — after a silent, Serge Gainsbourg-/Jane Birkin-backed drive in their swanky convertible — in a hotel in seaside France. (Actually it's Gozo Island off of Italy.) He needs to write, but he spends most of his days fall-down drunk. She prefers to stay in and stand or sit or lean in languorous poses, sometimes with cool oversized glasses. It seems like all their problems will be thrown into even sharper relief by the young, spunky, usually barely clothed (if that) newlyweds (Melanie Laurent and Melvil Poupaud) who shack up next door.
