Information and opinions about products, ideas and consumer concerns. And as always, wondering how to find stuff still Made In USA.
Monday, May 12, 2008
Garlic or Allium sativum L, is a bulb. It is a member of the onion family Alliaceae. This smelly but delicious little plant is also closely related to shallots and leeks.
As an organic gardener, I have grown garlic as well as onions and shallots. But the easiest and cheapest for me to grow is garlic. When I can't grow it, I buy it at the grocery store.
I can't imagine not having garlic in the kitchen. Yet, in all the years I've eaten garlic, cooked with garlic and bought garlic, I've never stopped to wonder where the garlic was grown. I just assumed grocery store garlic came from the US. Somewhere.
Well, I was right and I was wrong. Up until recently most garlic came from right here in the United States. A lot of it came from California--Gilroy, California to be exact. But now (and for the last few years) the US garlic industry is in danger. It has been fighting a loosing battle against a foreign invader. The battle is not in the garlic fields but in the market place. The US garlic industry, like so many other US industries, is being muscled or rather drowned out of existence by the flood of cheap imported garlic from, guess where?...China, of course. *sigh*
For more information on this issue you can read the article "U.S. Growers Say China's Grip on Garlic Stinks" on the NPR web site. The article details Gilroy, California's garlic growers struggle with the Chinese incursion into the US garlic market.
What can you or I do about this situation? Well, for a start, try to make sure you are buying US and not Chinese garlic, of course. But how?
I learned this great tip for identifying domestic garlic on a gardening show:
First, check for a label, hopefully it will state country of origin and that will answer the question.
If there is no label, then inspect the garlic. Look at the bottom of the bulb. Chinese garlic will very likely have the root end cut out. So, if the bottom is smooth and concave, like the garlic in the picture on the right, then odds are it's imported.
On the other hand, California garlic will look more like fresh from the garden garlic. It will still have some dried root "hairs" on the bottom of the bulb, such as those in the photo on the left.
To reiterate; when shopping, take a second to see if you can determine where the garlic was grown before you buy it. Be sure to look for a label, but also, take a peek at the bottom of the garlic bulb itself.
It may be a small thing, choosing USA grown garlic, instead of Chinese. But if we don't make this small effort now-- while we still can, there may come a day when we won't have to bother. Because one day, garlic and everything else we buy, may come from the same place--China. And then, we won't have a choice.

Until a friend took me to a local farmers market and I bought some specialty garlic I had no idea of the diffrence. The taste is better by an order of magnitude! I want to start growing my own as store bought just will no longer do.

I like garlic paste in almost all dishes. I am thinking to grow garlic. Home grown garlic is of good quality. Thanks for posting. - October 10, 2009 at 6:14 AM

I recently bought some garlic from Sam's club and I needed to use some garlic paste for a dish i was preparing after a few hours my paste had turned greenish blue color...guess where it's from China! I am so concerned about what it is doing to my body to eat such foods. GOD HELP US.

Robert Lewandowski has claimed Real Madrid simply did not know how to deal with him and Borussia Dortmund after the 4-1 destruction of Jose Mourinho's side on Wednesday night. Follow GOAL.COM on Twitter
The Poland international gifted Dortmund an early lead in the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal, before Cristiano Ronaldo leveled the scoring in the dying minutes of the first half. Dortmund stepped up its game after the break as Lewandowski netted three more to leave BVB on the brink of the Champions League final.
"We played really well in the second half and Real Madrid had no idea how to deal with us. We scored three goals and played unbelievably well," Lewandowski told Uefa.com. "It was almost perfect. Obviously I'm delighted because we won 4-1 and it was an outstanding performance, but we're not in the final yet.
"We've made great strides tonight, but we need to be alert from the very first minute in Madrid, because they're still very dangerous.
"We're a good team and we're not afraid of Real Madrid, but we're going to have to play very well over there."
Lewandowski, 24, has netted 10 goals in 11 Champions League appearances so far this term, trailing only Ronaldo, who has 12 goals.

Public Service Announcement
Its not their right to harass you, threaten you, or send a slew of trolls to your own website, but if the matter consists solely of linking and mocking, its hardly "really low" or "messed up."
If you get linked to on When Fangirls Attack, and then linked on another blog and mocked, the linking and mocking is not "the lowest of the low." Yes, sending trolls is low. Yes, some insults are stupid. However, a lot of different opinions are linked on WFA and it is read by people from various sides of the political spectrum. Linking and mocking will occur.
Bear in mind that the vast majority of the blogosphere is people linking other people, often for mockery. And if you were linked and mocked for linking and mocking someone's interview or point of view, they're pretty much doing the same to you as you did to them and it makes you particularly annoying and silly to the neutral onlooker. That's the Blogosphere. Its the wild.
Defend yourself, by all means. Ignore them, by all means. Express your personal opinions about their parentage, by all means. If you get trolled, lock down you blog if you must. If you get threatened, Complain if their mocking specifically called for people to troll you. Argue back, retreat, whatever you must. But don't make generalizations about "Bloggers" (Especially if you are one, and if you have a livejournal, you are one too. Deal with it) and don't make bitter statements about them linking public posts.
I say this without naming names or linking what brought this about because I've seen more than enough complaints over people being linked and I'm downright sick of people posting in a public place and then complaining they were linked in an unfavorable manner. (Or, in the case of one fucking idiot, a completely neutral manner.) You think I haven't been called crazy, or creepy, or stupid, or had a post fisked?
Guess what, that's their right to do (even if they are wrong) and I do the same damned thing on this blog all the time. If I'm not being threatened or trolled, who the fuck cares if they make fun of me in their own private part of the internet? I have mine to mock them from.
Lock it up if you don't want anyone who disagrees reading.

The internet is a public place. It certainly is. Most of us are aware of that. It is a fantastically open marketplace where ideas can battle against other ideas.
And you know what? Posting for the sole purpose of mocking another person probably is low and messed up. It might be funny. You might enjoy it. But that doesn't make it anything other than low. You are deriving humor by mocking someone else.
At this point I have to point out the rank hypocrisy of your post, however. Your point that the internet is a public place and people can say WHATEVER they want is well taken. Then, promptly, however you tell other people what they cannot say (in your words, "don't make generalizations about "Bloggers.")
Doubtless, then, you are a hypocrite.
Oh and points for reading comprehension. Go back and reread that thread you graciously aren't linking to. It is the professed "blogger" who made that generalization, not the professed "livejournaler." But perhaps you were too busy making a generalization to realize that.
You are "downright sick" of it? Downright sick? Well then I guess we should all stop right? Because you are sick. But if anyone else says they don't like being linked too (and that is what they said--fundamentally different that saying that bloggers should quit doing it), they should suck it up because you do like it? Please.
I don't expect this post to last long, because I know the internet isn't that open a space. And I know that people like to bitch at others without being bitched at themselves. But, when you delete this entry, please do me a favor and go back and reread that thread.Dan, if you're referring to the same thread that Ragnell is then you should look more closely.
The person who made the generalization was posting anonymously, but was also a former livejournalist who'd deleted her lj for personal reasons. She may or may not have a blog as well, I wouldn't know, but it would probably behoove you to check yourself before you presume to know what's going on.
That said, if you honestly think that Ragnell's one to shy away from "being bitched at", you really know less than you think you do.I think honestly the difference here might be that blogger and livejournal tend toward different etiquette expectations. (Of course, I'm likely overgeneralizing based on my own experiences)
I was thinking of your own generalization, in this case not the other person's statements that most bloggers are "by and large stupid."
And, frankly, I have no idea who Ragnell is. My expectations are limited to my experience with Kevin who deleted my response to his blog--I assumed that was part of the etiquette of "bloggers."
Still, if my assumption keeps my post here, then it served its purpose, didn't it? If my post is gone tomorrow, then... well, it also served a purpose.
Either way, the core question is how far does the reducio go? All the way to ad absurdum?
Do people have the ability to criticise each other on-line or not? If Ragnell believes that we do, then she is hypocritical in arguing that we don't have that right simply because she is "sick" of it.
Mock me all you want. I'll live. At least until I die. But Ragnell will still be a hypocrite.Ahh, that WAS my generalization, yes. I don't always share the same opinion as Ragnell, devoted lackey though I am.
That was posted however, AFTER, she posted this, so it could not possibly be the generalization to which she's referring.
I do find the accusation of hypocrisy quite amusing though. It's a blog/livejournal. Everyone's hypocritical on these things because everyone's emotional reaction changes due to different stimuli.
You're hardly being groundbreaking calling anyone a hypocrite here. We're quite self-aware enough to see the humor in it. :-)Yeah, Church has a stricter comment policy than I do. He's dealt with a few particularly stupid trolls, so he just doesn't put up with abusive idiocy anymore.
Honestly, very few bloggers outside of livejournal bother with comment threads for real conversation (Hell, I lose patience with following livejournal comment threads after two or three answers myself). We often answer each other in our blog posts, through linking. We track those links and find them, and we have a lot of crosstalk that way. You can always post about Church on your own blog. He'll likely find and see it, even if he doesn't think its worthy of answering.
Go ahead and rage your heart out in my comment threads, though. I'd answer your arguments, but I'm having trouble identifying a point worth answering. Perhaps one of the saner readers will see something they agree with and translate it for me.
In the meantime, I find your spirit entertaining and Kali seems to enjoy kicking you around verbally. Welcome to Written World.Well, as long as Kalinara tells me you all have the self-awareness to understand the humor of your own hypocrisy, I'm good.
Frankly, I find it hysterical that you get hyperbolic enough to declare that people shouldn't do something in the midst of complaining that people are talking about why you shouldn't do something. The swirls are very pretty and I'm sure your fans find it quite witty.
And thanks for the permission to rage to my hearts content. I'll gladly do so. It doesn't surprise me that you can't find a point worth discussing in my previous posts here--it is your playing field of course, and you decide what is in bounds and what is out of bounds.
And I have no interest in carrying on a conversation with Church. I said my piece. I presume he saw it before deleting. He chose that answer, so I can't think of a single reason why I would try to pursue further contact.
Just as, I am sure, I will reasonably quickly withdraw from this space. You have responded to me as you will. I accept your response in the spirit with which it was given.
I have no intention of persuading you as you have no intention of persuading me. I'll stick out in the other thread a bit longer, of course. I can't wait to see what inventive things your fans come up with. Delightful.Awesome!
A comment about my anus and a comment about me masturbating in the same day!
I am so mortally wounded.
Thoughtful and introspective readership you have here.
And gosh darn witty.
At the end of the day, I know your fans will rally the wagon and tell you how wonderful and brilliant you are and how terrible and stupid I am. Enjoy that time. The glow, the glow is wonderful.
And still not one person who can be bothered to defend your actual argument. Not surprising. Flame away. I am not the troll here. I have attempted to state my piece clearly and without toilet humor. Musta picked the wrong internet.
You said people should stop saying these things (about linking). I never did. I never said anyone should not post anything. I just called you a hypocrite. I am happy to engage in discussion. Your fans are happy to engage in low-rent name-calling.
Outstanding.We'd be able to defend if you'd bother to attack my argument coherently. Instead you give us baseless personal attacks and strawmen. Why waste time with civility? This is the level of discourse your first comment laid down anyway.
Maybe I should just sit back and bask in the idea that you probably found my journal through an undisclosed link and actually dropped by to troll me. The likelihood of that makes your presence that much more entertaining, in light of the nature of my rant.Goodness, didn't you say you were leaving?
Honestly, for someone who acts so unconcerned about childish taunts, you certainly come back here to recieve them a lot.
You've made your case and you'd do a lot better leaving it at that, because at the moment, you merely look like a self-congratulatory mess enamored merely with the sound of your own voice. You've hardly impressed anyone and if you've recieved childish taunts and crudity in response, it's merely what we think your incoherent, insubstantial, poorly structured bit of strawman workmanship and clumsy attempts at verbal slight of hand deserve.
The masturbation comparison is quite valid, in my opinion.This is starting to get a little on the bizzare side. Entertaining, but bizarre.
Don, I've read this all carefully, and I honestly don't understand what you are all worked up about.
On the other hand, I suppose that I must be a hypocrite as well...there really is nothing like the feeling you get from getting in a good zinger.Hello Sally P.,
I'm not entirely sure what this is all about either, anymore. It began elsewhere--a comment in another place got my attention and I came here.
My particular argument was about the following two sentences:
...if the matter consists solely of linking and mocking, its hardly "really low" or "messed up."
I argued that it was, while potentially funny, "low" because it was an attempt at deriving humor from mocking another person--schaudenfreude, or more likely derision, if you will.
But don't make generalizations about "Bloggers" (Especially if you are one, and if you have a livejournal, you are one too. Deal with it) and don't make bitter statements about them linking public posts.(emphasis mine)
I felt then, as I do now that in a post about how open and wild the internet was, making such a proclamation was a bit overboard. So I did what it seemed the original blogger requested and I argued the point.
Some have taken issue with the fact that I felt my post would likely be deleted. A fact, I happily admit, I was wrong about.
Some have chosen to go the route of ad hominem and I have responded to them in kind.
Some claim my argument to be disorganized and strawman-ish. It might be disorganized. I'll take the blame for that. But it is closer to the more technical meaning of ad hominem than strawman. I am, after all, asking the original poster to explain her own words. I did not paraphrase them. And any reader or responder may read both my post and hers to make up their own mind.
We are all at times hypocrites. I am, myself, clearly posting in a thread I said I was leaving. If that is the answer--that the original poster is just being hypocritical and that is that, then fine. Just say that.
I was wrong to assume my post would be deleted and that may have been the cause of some of the hostility directed toward me. Fine. I accept that. But that doesn't deter me from asking my questions.
As I have said over and over again, I am not afraid to be called a fool or a pedant."Oh, I'm leaving, I'm leaving.
But really, you might want to invest in a dictionary and look up the difference between "reasonably quickly" and "immediately.""
As if there's anything about posting (how many more comments has it been now?) that any normal person would call "reasonably quickly."

Latin America provided many prolific and creative post-war heirs to Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich, who had pioneered geometric abstraction in Europe in the early 20th century.
The radicalness in this 80-work show is twofold: much of it emerged from Leftist politics but it also took abstraction in new directions, with manifesto-laden ideas to reform the nature of art itself.
Sections are dedicated to Argentina and Uruguay, Brazil and Venezuela, highlighting regional variations.
In Argentina, for instance, concrete art linked Communist politics with shaped canvases, as in Juan Melé's Irregular Frame No 2 (1946) — breaking with the rectangle reflected an aspiration for a new order. Brazil was perhaps the most consistently inventive of all the Latin American countries in the period, first through its own concrete artists, such as Waldemar Cordeiro, with their immaculate mathematic compositions, and then through the neo-concretists, who encouraged the viewer to get involved, as with Lygia Clark's Bichos, made in the Sixties — small geometric sculptures that could be reformed by the spectator.
Venezuela, meanwhile, was all about light and space, and provides this exhibition's real showstoppers: the mesmerising, vibrating lines of Nylon Cube (1990) by Jesús Soto, and Carlos Cruz-Diez's vast Physichromie No 500 (1970), which, as you walk beside it, shifts from deep reds to a glorious spectrum of colour.

First Milestone reached!
I spent 24 hours on the artwork that now is implemented into the layout. However, I also spent close to 13 hours on artwork that I discarted completely. Like I've already written in an older post, I had some problems to find the visual style that I was looking for. I guess that I have overcome these problems now and that I can calculate with the 24 hours for the rest of the artwork. That would mean another 100 hours of work in front of me. Given the fact that in the first 4 months of this year I have managed to work 187 hours on my private projects, which makes 46 hours a month, I can estimate to finish the first chapter somewhere in July. I'm concentrating on the graphic novel but still have some other stuff to do so that will be end of July, perhaps August. That would be cool. After finishing the first chapter I'll also have to build the Wormworld Saga homepage, which should take a month or so, and then the adventure can begin. Well, we'll see how accurate this estimation is. Life can't be calculated and who knows all the pitfalls along the path?
Thinking in these timeframes is challenging sometimes. I often think about how fast I could be if only I could work fulltime on the project. Right at the moment I spend 10 hours a day at the job to be able to work 2 hours a day on the project. If I could spend 8 hours a day on the graphic novel I could finish the chapter in 15 days. That's three weeks with free (!) weekends. But thoughts like these lead to nowhere so I just keep on working. The milestone chart is a great motivation. I'm actually getting somewhere and I'm really looking forward to share my first chapter with all of you as soon as it is ready.
In the meantime I have some character artwork for you. Here you see Jonas' teacher Mrs. Rubens:
And of course I had to figure out how Jonas looks in everyday life when he's not wearing his adventure outfit. I had the idea to give him a Captain Orion T-Shirt. I figured out that this might be a movie in Jonas' world that boys like him would be a fan of. :)
Ok, back to work!

Im so excited to see the first chapter! I hope you get lots of extra time to explore Wormworld! I love what you have shown us so far! Thanks for the sneak peaks!
ReplyDelete Thanks for all your nice comments! I'm also looking forward to see the first chapter published and can't wait to share it with you all.
@ Anonymous:
I'm using a quite simple set of brushes for the graphic novel. I'm blocking in the big shapes with a "bristly" brush and painting the details with a small, diamond shaped brush. However, I recently installed the Photoshop CS5 trial version and I think I will make good use of the natural media bristle brushes in the future.Hi Daniel,
freue mich über jeden Post den du veröffentlichst. Sehr spannend das Ganze!
Ich weiss nicht wie interessant das für dich ist, aber wollte es mal erwähnt haben:
Dieses Jahr wirds wahrscheinlich nichts, aber so für die Zukunft kanns nicht schaden, denk ich. ( Falls du überhaupt die Bedingungen erfüllst, hab mich da nicht genau informiert)
Weiter so!@ yakonusuke:
Hey, danke für den Tipp!
Ich könnte mit meinem Scrollformat Probleme bei myComics.de bekommen, weil ich keine Seitenunterteilung habe. Vielleicht ist deren System aber auch flexibel genug für mein Scrollformat. Werde ich mir anschauen, sobald mein erstes Kapitel reif für die Veröffentlichung ist. Dieses Jahr klappt es mit der Deadline für den Sondermann auf keinen Fall aber im nächsten Jahr könnte ich dann schon zwei oder drei Kapitel online haben. Da werde ich das dann auf jeden Fall versuchen.As the author of "In die kloue van die draak", I have some idea what it's like doing what you're doing. It took me 1 year to do the pictures of my book (73 pages, with 9 panels per page), and 5 years to color them. The most important thing is not to be discouraged by the enormousness of the final goal, but to focus on the now, and the little achievements along the way.
However, you're taking it to a whole new level. I always say drawing is 10% talent, and 90% patience. The detail in your work is just unbelievable. Given the amount of time I've put in my book, I cannot even begin to comprehend the amount time and patience goes into your drawings. It's truly amazing!
I'm sorry to hear that you're no longer going to include your "trapped" picture in your story. It's really a picture that begs the question as to what's going to happen next.
Still, I look forward to see how it all plays out. Thank you for sharing your imagination with the world.

The expertise of a workforce is closely related to the level of competency and other factors such as knowledge, experiences, skills, attitudes and et cetera. The problems of competency management and the methods to determine competency level of a workforce always engender an issue. As for example, what is the best method or system to determine the weightage for each criterion in evaluating a certain level of competency? Among the method to solve the problem is to use neural network. But the accuracy of the network depends on the activation function used. Thus, this project aimed to compare the accuracy of several activation functions for classifying competency level of a workforce's expertise. The comparison of activation function in this study is done by using back propagation neural network and by calculating the percentage of the accuracy of the neural network as compared to the target data samples. This study reveals that the logarithmic-exponential activation function gives a better result as compared to the logistic activation function. The activation function is then used in developing a prototype module To Classify Expertise Level for Competency Management System using The Unified Software Development approach, which apply the techniques of Unified Modeling Language (UML). The prototype module has been used as an efficient and fairly method in term of getting weightage for each criterion in determining the competency level of a researcher's expertise at the Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT).

Uchiha Clan Downfall
Redirected from Uchiha clan massacre
this wiki
The Uchiha Clan Downfall (うちは一族滅亡, Uchiha Ichizoku Metsubō), also called the Uchiha Incident (うちはの事件, Uchiha no Jiken),[1] was the massacre of the Uchiha clan by Itachi and, unknown to most, a man claiming to be Madara Uchiha.
Following the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, Konohagakure's leadership began to suspect that the Uchiha were behind the attack due to the Sharingan's ability to control the beast. From that point onwards, the Uchiha were placed under close surveillance — something Tobi claims was accomplished by forcing all Uchiha to live in one section of the village.[2] This mistrust and isolation from the rest of the village created feelings of ill-will amongst the Uchiha, and ultimately rekindled the hatred harboured towards the Senju-influenced government. As such, the Uchiha — led by Fugaku Uchiha — began planning a coup d'état to overthrow the Konoha leadership.
In preparation for the coup, the Uchiha started inserting its member within Konoha's command structure to act as spies: Itachi Uchiha was placed in the Anbu, the direct arm of the Hokage, however, Itachi did not agree with the Uchiha's plans; believing the coup would only escalate into another Shinobi World War. As such, he turned double-agent, providing Konoha with information on the Uchiha's plans.[3] The Third Hokage, who did not agree with the treatment of the Uchiha following the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, tried to find a peaceful resolution with the clan.[2] Danzō Shimura, however, did not believe negotiations would solve anything and felt eliminating all the Uchiha would cause the least bloodshed.
The Uchiha noticed Itachi's strange behavior and tasked Shisui Uchiha with keeping an eye on him. Shisui, a close friend of Itachi, shared his opposition to the coup. When peace talks started to break down, Shisui attempted to use his Mangekyō Sharingan's Kotoamatsukami to force the Uchiha's leaders to change their minds. Danzō felt this was a waste of Kotoamatsukami's rare usage and took Shisui's right eye for himself before Shisui had a chance to use it. Having failed and fearful that Danzō would take his other eye, too, Shisui entrusted his left eye to Itachi before committing suicide.[4] After finding his body, the Uchiha believed Shisui had, in fact, been murdered by Itachi and the suicide was staged,[5] and, as such, no longer trusted him.[6]
Although he still wanted to find a non-violent solution, Shisui's death convinced Itachi that events could no longer be stopped. He became outwardly critical of the clan's actions and hostile towards individual members. Danzō, aware of Itachi's conflicted feelings, explained the two possible outcomes: the Uchiha could be allowed to carry out their coup, an act that would ultimately lead to the entire clan's extermination, including Itachi and his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha; alternatively, Itachi could assassinate the Uchiha before the coup took place, and in exchange would be allowed to spare Sasuke's life.[7] Itachi opted to save his brother.
Before carrying out the massacre, Itachi found Tobi sneaking around the village. Believing he was the real Madara Uchiha bent on destroying Konoha, Itachi offered to help him take revenge against the Uchiha for betraying him decades earlier if he would spare the village.[8] Tobi agreed. Tobi also met with Danzō around the same time for unknown purposes.[1]
In a single night, Itachi and Tobi slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan. In the anime, Tobi slaughtered the military portion of the Uchiha Clan by directly attacking the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters, enabling Itachi to slaughter the civilian portion without much resistance. In the anime, Tobi secretly took some of the Uchiha's corpses for himself. Itachi expected Fugaku to be the greatest enemy and entered his home with great caution. To his complete surprise, both his parents were willing to accept death rather than fight their son. Both respected his decision to side with the village over the clan, and asked only that he look after Sasuke. He tearfully killed them just before Sasuke returned home from the Academy.[9]
Although he knew his actions were necessary, Itachi could not forgive himself for killing his own family and believed he had to be punished. Sasuke, a child and thus ignorant of the Uchiha's conspiracies, was the only person qualified to pass the judgement on Itachi he felt he deserved. As such, Itachi attacked Sasuke when he entered their house, desperate to make Sasuke believe he had killed their clan without provocation and for selfish pursuits of power. He used Tsukuyomi to torment Sasuke with images of the clan's murder and claimed Sasuke was too weak to even bother killing. Itachi encouraged Sasuke to embrace hatred and vengeance in order to get stronger and to come after and kill him to avenge their family.
As Itachi left, Sasuke made an immediate attempt to follow Itachi's instructions; awakening his Sharingan for the first time, Sasuke pursued Itachi and attacked him, managing to knock off his forehead protector. Itachi wept from Sasuke's action, but continued on after collecting his forehead protector. Sasuke passed out from the traumas of the night and would not remember this moment of retaliation for many years.[10]
Only three Uchiha survived the clan's massacre: Itachi, Sasuke, and Tobi, though most of the world, Sasuke included, did not know of Tobi's involvement in the massacre or survival.
Itachi reported the mission's success to the Third Hokage. The Third, having been unaware of Itachi's assignment from Danzō, regretted to hear the news. With nothing to be done about it now, the Third promised to perpetuate the cover story that Itachi had acted alone and without cause so that nobody would learn of the Uchiha's plans, and also so that Konoha would not be tarnished for its involvement. Most important to Itachi, the Third vowed to keep Sasuke safe from Danzō.[11] In the anime, the Third also ordered the dissolution of Danzō's Root and his removal from the council as punishment for acting without his permission. Itachi then left the village, joining the organisation Akatsuki, in order to reinforce his image as a criminal. In actuality, he monitored Akatsuki from the inside, keeping Konoha informed of its actions and preventing the organisation from moving against the village.[12] Itachi also threatened to reveal all of Konoha's confidential information to foreign forces should Danzō bring harm to Sasuke.
True to Itachi's intentions, the Uchiha's massacre had an immense impact on Sasuke. Sasuke's sole motivation over the following years was to become strong enough to kill Itachi, first by training as a shinobi of Konoha and later, after being dissatisfied by his slow growth in Konoha, by defecting to Orochimaru. Under Orochimaru, Sasuke gained enough power to finally pose a threat to Itachi, culminating in Itachi's death when they finally met in battle. Sasuke enjoyed a brief moment of believing he had avenged his family at last, but was shortly afterwards approached by Tobi and informed of the truth behind Itachi's actions.[13] After realising that Itachi only ever acted in the interests of his village, Sasuke decided to destroy Konoha for what they did to his brother.[14] However, after reconciling with a reincarnated Itachi, Sasuke decided that this would be contradictory to what Itachi sacrificed his life for and that he would instead protect the village.
The truth behind the massacre was successfully kept a secret for many years, though Kabuto Yakushi — an experienced spy — was able to uncover it at some point.[15] After Itachi's death, however, Tobi no longer felt obligated to keep up the cover story and shared the truth when he deemed it convenient; he first revealed the truth to Sasuke in order to win his cooperation, and later to Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, and Yamato in order to defend Sasuke's actions.[16] Upon his reincarnation and learning that the truth had been revealed, Itachi insisted that those who knew did not publicise it so that the Uchiha clan could retain some honour.[17]
- In the manga, Tobi stated Fugaku organised and planned the coup d'état. In the anime, however, it was stated that he did not plan it, but as the head of the Uchiha clan, he had no choice but to go along with their decision. However, he opted for an option that would satisfy the Uchiha Clan and lead to the least bloodshed. To this end, he asked Itachi to help him take over the seat of Hokage by force.[18]

Industrial / Commercial Sweepers are the perfect solution for cleaning commercial floors, carpet surface, warehouse floors, and even parking lots. Our selection of sweepers range from manual- push to self-propelled. Sizes ranges from a small compact push-sweeper of 22" to battery operated self-drive 36" industrial warehouse sweepers with full dust containment system.
Sweepers offer significant labor savings versus conventional hand sweeping or vacuuming. The average sweeper is 7X faster than a push-broom (typically on concrete floors) or 10 faster than an operator using a vacuum cleaner for carpeted floors.
For carpeted floors (large floor spaces or long hallways / corridors) battery powered sweepers have replaced the tradition wide area vacuum cleaners. Sweepers are faster and more efficient and require NO power cords.
Included is an article about the care and maintenance of your sweeper.

Still, some will be smiling gamely at the silver lining as the cloud descends: the stationers. The last time this happened there was some suspicion, especially in London, where line-renters had already been subject to one change, that someone somewhere was getting kick-backs from the printers of letterheads: that suspicion will become conviction now.
One can understand that companies might rely on a pristine letterhead. The mystery is why individuals persist in laying out extortionate amounts for boxes of the stuff. The answer, of course, is that once you've started you can't stop: the personality type that needs a perfect letterhead in the first place can never be satisfied with ball-point-written phone numbers.
So what does your bought letterhead say about you? First of all, it suggests a certain illiteracy where computers are concerned. Now that most households have access to a computer, even if it is the one bought with supermarket tokens for a grandchild's school, it would be easy enough to change your letterhead at will. But a laser print is often not enough. We've all seen intolerable snobs run their thumbnails over invitations and sneer if they're not embossed. They do it with addresses, too. If you mind about that sort of thing, get help.
Consider help, also, if you have a plastic bag full of little gold stick- ons. It's a generally acknowledged rule among those who receive hate mail that the most vituperative, unless it's anonymous, generally comes with one of these labels attached.
Typefaces, also, say more about the chooser than they would like. Respectable companies, after all, are using graphologists in their recruitment processes these days. Beware of curly script learnt in American handwriting classes, actually known as English; people who have this tend to cosiness and sentimentality. Lovers of Gothic are startlingly prone to competitive pedantry. Umbra, that 3-D-effect shadow script, suggests an ego out of control. The Art Deco of Broadway is popular with advertising wannabes. You're probably best off with plain Roman. It may denote conservatism or indeed lack of imagination, but at least no one will spot your own particular brand of insanity.

Ratings for Dr. Cathy Flanagan
Fantastic...very very informed. listens well. availabe to her patients .
I have found Dr. Flanagan to be very helpful and supportive. She teaches me "tips" to work around my pain and disability. Can't write because my thumb is riddled with arthritis and it hurts to press... try a thick pen. It helped. Can't stand too long without lower back pain...place feet one in front of the other to relieve the strain...it worked. She always monitors the aches and pains that I am accustomed to experiencing and immediately takes decisive action on new issues. She monitors my blood monthly, has got me in orthotics, referred me to a neurosurgeon, requisitioned CT scans, Xrays, bone density, as needed. AND she will even make a phone call appointment to review the results and come up with a treatment plan. This saves me the 1 hr drive in each direction. I look forward to seeing her as I trust her and know she is looking after me. If I need an appointment between scheduled visits, all I have to do is call.
She has been terrible and a waste of my time. Nothing she has said has helped. She can't even give me a definitive answer as to what is wrong with me. I have no idea what she's doing while starring at her computer, can't possibly be making notes on what I say because everything she responds to me with has nothing to do with what I was saying. All she does is push drugs on me that have not helped. I've done better without her help managing my symptoms and pain then she has ever done for me in the 8 years I've seen her.
An excellent specialist. She helped my wife to manage her RA and continually monitors her condition with blood work and check ups. Some advice is technical, some is common sense. She has not pushed expensive drugs or treatments and choses reliable and proven medicine that is inexpensive. She is business like and efficient. When with her it's best to be prepared and pay attention. That's the way she is, I know RA can be scary, she is not the most comforting doctor but she is very good.
The worst specialist I have ever seen!! Very unperson-able. Just stared at computer taking notes and I felt like she didn't listen to a thing I said and the stuff she caught she dismissed and made me feel like a hypochondriac . I was in and out so fast there wasn't enough time for a real assessment. The little physical exam she did was pathetic. I found she pushed medications. The suggestions she gave me were for the most part unfeasible.
I have inflammatory arthritis and I realize I will not get better so I do not expect her to wave a magic wand and all will be well. What I do find, though, is Dr. Flanagan gives ways to help me manage this disease. She has given specific exercises and prescribed orthotics and other supports. I look forward to my appointments because she is attentive, competent and I leave with the feeling that I can participate in my well-being and am not at the mercy of this insidious disease. She makes me feel hopeful and I like that as I believe mental attitude goes a long way to making the days/nights easier. Thanks, Dr. Flanagan!
I have fairly severe hypermobility, a condition that needs the touch of a rheumatologist. I also have a variation on that condition. Reviewing notes she made on my file, she knows so little that it's frightening. I felt as though she dismissed everything I had to say. She has soured my opinion on this speciality.
very bad doctor and does not give enough time for full assessment.
I have only good things to say about Dr. Flannigan. I wish she could be my family doctor!!
Works her computer instead of the patient. Alwasy pushing drugs, tries to get you to the most expensive ones fast, what is there some kind of kick back going on. Whe you make a suggestion from ones own suggestion she doesn't know anything about it but when we went ahead with a over the counter drug, she kneew everything and change our dosage, of course we didn't do and we are doing the best ever with RA. STopped it cold.

"It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information."
Oscar Wilde
"A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat."
Mark Twain
"Leisure is time for doing something useful; this leisure the diligent man will obtain, but the lazy man never"
Benjamin Franklin
"All art is quite useless."
"I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
George Bernard Shaw
"Be unselfish. That is the first and final commandment for those who would be useful and happy in their usefulness. If you think of yourself only, you cannot develop because you are choking the source of development, which is spiritual expansion through thought for others."
Charles W. Eliot

After recovering the stolen magic wand and a journey to Bowser's castle, Luigi is finally ready to face off against King Bowser and rescue the princess. Will Mario and Luigi's rescue mission be a success?
I made these a while back in 2004 when i was teaching myself how to use Macromedia flash. It started off as a few tests but eventually it turned into a series of random Mario videos. I had no idea what i was doing when i made these videos lol. I actually took the time/effort to cut out each of the individual sprites from the ZSNES Super Nintendo emulator manually instead of using sprite sheets which can explain the crappy graphic GIF quality on most of the sprites.
They are mainly just random test videos. If you don't like them, i can't really blame you since i made them so many years ago. I mainly just uploaded them for a few friends that wanted to see them. I have no intention of going back and finishing this series, they are "as is". I admit that the quality isn't the best and the animation is choppy but i feel like it adds to the charm along with the randomness of the humor. The animation does start to get better at part 3 and onward though.

As Brett Favre begins the process of healing his rift with the Packers, he says he wouldn't change a thing.
Favre, who finished his career with the Vikings and with some hard feelings toward some folks in Green Bay, said on WTMJ in Milwaukee today that he doesn't think there is anything he could have done differently.
"You can't go back. That's the one thing I finally said, 'It is what it is. It's over. It's done with. You can't change that. You can change today and the future,'" Favre said. "I really don't hold any regrets through my career. That goes from day one until the end."
Favre did acknowledge that if some Packers fans have ill will toward him, he could understand that. But he thinks that's in the past.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic. Plastic surgery includes two main fields: Cosmetic and Reconstructive surgery.
Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance because it is elective.
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congential defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve function, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.
There are a number of "gray areas" in coverage for plastic surgery that sometimes require special consideration by an insurance carrier. These areas usually involved surgical operations which may be reconstructive or cosmetic, depending on each patient's situation. For example, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) - a procedure normally performed to achieve cosmetic improvement may be covered if the eyelids are drooping severely and obscuring a patient's vision.

by admin default ~ January 21st, 2011
The United States military is proposing to expand and establish new military operations areas in the Interior of Alaska, including areas in the Mat-Su Borough and east of Talkeetna. A meeting on Tuesday night at the Swiss Alaska Inn is part of the military's scoping process to inform the public of their proposals. Diana Haecker spoke with Colonel Greg Bell beforehand to get a sense of what the military is planning to do.

Decision Date: September 24, 2013 -
Court: Patent Trial and Appeal Board -
Patents: D527,834 -
Holding: ATAS's petition to institute inter partes review is DENIED.
ATAS International, Inc. filed a petition for inter partes review of U.S. Design Patent No. D527,834, entitled Building Panel and assigned to Centria. Litigation was pending between the parties in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania concerning the patent. The petition asserted that the patent is unpatentable under either 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and/ or 103. ATAS did not meet its burden of showing a reasonable likelihood of prevailing under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a), therefore, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") denied the petition. During prosecution, the patent was restricted to seven embodiments of a building panel design. In its claim construction, the PTAB concluded that the seven embodiments of the patented design share several common characteristics. All seven have both raised and recessed areas along the length of the panels. All panels have either one or two recessed well-type areas. Each of the recessed well-type areas is bounded by angled portions having differing angles. All panels have two or three raised areas. The width of at least one of the raised areas is at least twice as wide as any of the recessed areas. Together, the PTAB concluded, these characteristics result in each of the seven embodiments having an overall asymmetric and irregular appearance.
ATAS argued that because the patent has embodiments with both one and two recessed areas, the "patentee has admitted that a panel having one recessed region is patently indistinct from a panel having two recessed regions," thus, the number and placement of the recessed areas cannot affect patentability. The PTAB disagreed. While more than one embodiment may be patented in a single design patent if they are obvious variants of each other, see Apple Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., F.3d 1314, 1329-30 (Fed. Cir. 2012), the PTAB found no support for ATAS's broad generalization. The prosecution history does not give any reason for keeping the seven embodiments in one patent. Additionally, the PTAB found that the number and location of the recessed areas could affect patentability because placing more recessed areas along different locations of the panel could cause its overall asymmetric appearance to change.

text: HomeEducation No One Can Recycle Old, Broken Toys like This 11-Year Old. His Latest Innovation Is Outstanding! Tanaya Singh September 3, 2015 Education, Innovation, Technology Vedant is no ordinary kid. While other children throw away broken toys and buy new ones, he collects the scrap from his discarded ones to make new and ingenious gadgets. Vedant Dhiren Thaker is a student of Class 6 in Shantinagar High School, Mira Road, Maharashtra. Like many other kids his age, broken toys are a regular feature of his growing years. But, not all his toys break accidently. Some of them are disassembled carefully and all the electronic parts obtained from inside saved. Vedant is interested in using these broken parts – the remote controls, magnets, batteries, etc. — to build new things, things that are completely different from the original toys. Subscribe So, when one of his remote control cars broke down recently, he decided to use it to make a device which would help him solve a daily household problem for his mother. "During my summer vacation, I keep going outside the house many times. Many of my friends also come over frequently. The doorbell is constantly ringing and every time it goes off my mother has to leave whatever she is doing to open the door. I realised that this was a troublesome task and my mother used to get irritated at times," says Vedant. Vedant decided to do something to help his mother. He put his gadget-loving brain to use and made a remote control door operating device with the following spare parts obtained from a broken remote-controlled toy car: · Remote control · The motor drive mechanism circuit · Rechargeable batteries · The remote control (RC) circuit used inside the car Vedant connected these to make a prototype device that opens the lock of the main door in his house with a remote control, and has enough range to be easily operated from any part of the house. His mother can now open the door from anywhere, without having to leave the work she is doing. For those who want to know how exactly the device works, here's more: (Geek Alert: Read at your own risk) An RC car has a transmitter in the form of a remote control, and a receiver in the form of an antenna and a circuit board placed inside the car. There is a motor drive mechanism which turns the wheels and operates the steering of the vehicle. Finally, there is a power source in the form of rechargeable batteries. For functioning, the transmitter sends Radio waves as the control signal which drives the motor, leading to the specified action (like rotation of wheels or steering), which then causes motion in the car. Vedant utilised this entire process for the working of his device. He attached the RC circuit, along with the motor drive mechanism of the car, to the door. The RC circuit also includes the antenna. From the remote control of the car, he sends radio waves to the antenna, which then gets transmitted to the motor drive mechanism through the battery. This rotates the shaft of the gear box. Vedant has connected the shaft to the latch of the lock with a simple nylon thread. As the shaft rotates, the thread winds itself, thus pulling the latch, and the door opens. When the remote switch is released, the latch goes back to its original position. "He never keeps any of his toys in their original form. Always makes something new out of them," says Vedant's father Dhiren. With his wonderful and inspiring curiosity, Vedant has built numerous things like electronic boats, a power source, and crackers made from scrap. Read more about the solar power source that he has developed from a discarded laptop battery here. Kudos to the young genius and his love for electronics!

Like all you rummies out there who have merged St. Patrick's Day and March Madness into a sort of extended holiday—Hanukkah for drunks. Advertisement You're probably hung over right now. That's OK. No one's working, anyway, except for the good folks who in approximately one hour will serve you the first of many beers today. You will be drunk again in a matter of hours, and you will remain drunk throughout the weekend and for the balance of tournament, and you will awaken on the Tuesday after the championship game, blinking into the spring sun, wondering about those mysterious bruises and the blister above your lip, having cost the American economy a bajillion dollars in worker productivity. (This is my very favorite part of March Madness, incidentally—the part where some HR company trying to get mentioned on TV plucks a dollar figure out of the air and tries to shame America with all its wasted productivity. And all America ever does is shrug and return to its four-hour lunch. At this point, I'm thinking these companies could really spend their time in more productive ways.)Anyway, this is your holiday, problem drinkers of America. Enjoy it safely.

The global warming debate hotting up again but it's moot
3 comments:
MSM will try to keep this quiet just like last week's global warming scandal.
If you aren't familiar with the 10:10 dust up, see the videos below.
While watching the first one, ask yourself if it's sincere or if 10:10 is being pranked on by skeptics.
Keep watching until you're sure, and then watch more.
Note: the resignations of Chris Landsea and Roger A Pielke SR. both hint at conspiracy.
Landsea resigned because of an unethical press conference that was likely used by Al Gore as a green light to build his movie around Hurricane Katrina.
Pielke resigned because while lead author for a major climate report, scientists worked behind his back to undermine him. These incidents are well known and not hard to research.
Even if you are familiar with the 10:10 thing, there's a variety of over the top eco stuff in the playlist.@Chuck: i think you are missing the point of this article: I am saying the global warming issue is moot: we are destroying our habitat pretty effectively in many other ways. So the earth warming up because natural causes is not a reason NOT to change our ways. We can't go on existing as we are doing now for many other reasons.

Anyway due to the fact that I got a state ref ticket 5 DAYS AFTER THE INSTALL DAY...I will not be adding anything to my car for a while...
So Jason said it would be okay for me to post this on here to see if any of you were interested...
I have the Evo 3 Big 16g that Im trying to sell. It is brand new, I have the receipts. It was purchased from turbochargers.com.
Let me know if anyones interested! I have a few people interested, but nothing for sure. Shoot me some offers.
Heres some pics...
heres pics of the turbo and injectors...
