By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
EVERETT — Lyrics reportedly written and performed by a blind rapper on the lam seem to be challenging police to find him.
The song is called "Catch Me If You Can."
Someone who has contacted The Daily Herald via an Everett-based Bass Rock Records email address said the song is by Mac Wayne, whose real name is Wayne Frisby.
There is a $250,000 Snohomish County Superior Court warrant for Frisby's arrest after he skipped town while facing a robbery charge.
A judge signed the warrant March 8 after prosecutors accused Frisby of first-degree robbery and drug possession in connection with a bizarre holdup in February. At the time, a Snohomish County deputy prosecutor told the judge that Frisby had fled the area and may be in California or Las Vegas.
The Bass Rock Records email said that "Catch Me If You Can" is "Mac Wayne's only official response to (the) allegations." The email writer said it was unclear where the song was recorded.
The email said that any money made from an upcoming Mac Wayne album, "Yay Charles — The Retainer," will be used to pay attorney fees and that an attorney will be contacting authorities in coming weeks. No mention is made about the outstanding bail.
"Catch Me If You Can" makes reference to a criminal investigation and the rapper's decision to flee. It refers to "detectives in my mama's house," making the front page, a decision "to split out of town" and police trying to get "the Ginger Bread Man."
The refrain chides: "I'm on the run. Catch me if you can."
A man claiming to be the suspect denied committing the robbery in a telephone call to The Herald newsroom earlier this month.
Officials from the Marysville Police Department, which has been investigating the robbery allegations, could not be reached for comment Friday.
Prosecutors have accused Frisby, 28, of robbing a woman of her car keys. They also allege that he cut off a handful of her hair and threatened to stab her if she didn't comply with his demands.
The woman told police she had parked her car and met up with an Arlington woman. They were headed to another location when the Arlington woman stopped her car. Prosecutors allege that Frisby opened the passenger door and robbed the woman.
She said he threatened to kill her if she didn't hand over her keys. He also cut off part of her hair, court papers said.
Frisby and the Arlington woman left the other woman on the side of the road, according to prosecutors. She called police. Officers located a clump of hair in the street. Police also determined that her car was missing from the parking lot.
Frisby and the Arlington woman were arrested later that night in Everett. While being booked in jail, Frisby reportedly handed over some methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin he had hidden in his clothing.
Prosecutors also have said that Frisby is under investigation for a shooting and possible ties to a group of people connected to the stabbing death of a Marysville man.

The first four judgments; the whole circle of symbolic nature; the prophetic sphere of God's dealings, people in general, moral principles and sovereign authority
The first four plagues have the same objects as the judgments of the first four trumpets -- the whole circle of symbolic nature, but here directly as regards men -- earth, sea, rivers, and sun; the ordered prophetic sphere of God's dealings, the masses of peoples as such viewed as unorganised, the moral principles which give an impulse to their movements, and sovereign authority. But it is not a third here (that is, the Roman earth) but in general.
Judgment on all who had the mark of the beast
The first vial of wrath brought the utmost distress and shameful misery on all who had taken the mark of the beast.
Moral death on the mass of peoples
The second brought the power of moral death on the mass of peoples; all who were among them within the limits of the prophetic earth, died -- I apprehend, gave up mere outward profession. We have here an example of the use of symbols which it is well to note. All the vials are poured out on the earth, that is, are applied to the sphere of already formed relationship with God. But in this there might be a special relationship in which men had to do with God in this world -- were inhabiters of earth, or the mass of people within that sphere.
The sources of popular action and feeling in alienation from God became deathful
The third vial was poured out on all the sources of popular influence and action; and they became positively deathful. It seems to me, that the deadly influence in alienation from God, within the sphere of prophecy, is strongly marked here. Death is used generally as the expression of the power of Satan.
Supreme authority made frightfully oppressive
Then the supreme authority is made frightfully oppressive. This gave the first four of direct judgment according to the usual division.
Satan's kingdom full of darkness
The fifth vial strikes the throne of the beast, the seat and stability of his authority, which Satan had given him; and his kingdom became full of darkness. All was confusion and wretchedness, and no resource: they gnawed their tongues with anguish and blasphemed God.
Bringing Asiatic powers into the conflict; the sum of all evil influences and the kings of the world gathered together to the battle of God's great day
The sixth angel pours out his vial on Euphrates -- destroys, I apprehend, the securing boundary of the Western prophetic powers -- not the seat of its power, but broke its frontier, that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared. I look at this simply as the bringing in of the powers of Asia into the conflict for the universal conflagration of powers. The sixth vial sends forth three unclean spirits, the sum of all evil influences: that of Satan's direct power as antagonistic of Christ; that of the power of the last empire, the beast; and that of the second beast of Revelation 13 henceforth known as the false prophet, Satan's influence as the Antichrist, an idolatrous wonder-working power; and the kings of the world were gathered together to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. The allusion is to Judges 5: 19, 20.Synopsis by John Darby

I install XBMCbuntu, updated to the PVR build from packages.pulse-eight.net and went to configure TVHeadend and I get a log in screen.
I have tried xbmc/xbmc, the user login details, but keep getting "The server localhost:9981 requires a username & password. The server says: TVHeadend"
I did the reconfigure utility via terminal and changed the user and password but keep getting this same reply.
Am I doing something wrong??

1st figure out under which user the tvheadend is running;
Quote:#ps ax | grep tvheadendYou will get out such as;
Quote:2140 ? Ssl 3:55 /usr/bin/tvheadend -f -u hts -g videoThere you will see, it runs as user "hts" (-u hts)
Go into the hts config folder for that user;
Quote:cd /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/Here are all setting stored. But also the config of the super user. You need to be root, so under ubuntu for instance;
Quote:sudo cat superuserYou will get an output like;
Use those to get into the webadmin and do your things.

I had a similar issue, and found this:
Quote:create a file calles "1" with following content in the ~/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/ directory
For some reason the ~/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol/ directory had gone, so I had to create it again incl. the '1' file and it's OK now.

Have you played with the IP address config at all? Could it be that you're connecting from a PC that doesn't have admin rights because of its IP address?
I can't remember off the top of my head, but I wonder if tvheadend defaults to localhost unless you change it... so are you connecting from the machine hosting tvheadend, or a different one?
Have a look at ~/.hts/tvheadend/accesscontrol and see what's in there...

Yep, originally had it set to 0.0.0.0/0. I changed it to 192.168.1.0/24 just to see if it would change the outcome. I also SSHed in and used lynx to localhost:9981. It fails just the same.
Unless there's somewhere else to change it.

Try start tvheadend with -C. This will create a user account with no username/password if no user exists already. Then you can get access and create a new user.
That did it for me.

I had the same problem but when i ran:

showing me that despite setting up my own password with the initial tvheadend config it is using xbmc/xbmc as the user/pass still...
Hope this helps...

Dear all,
I am a new user to Kodi but played around with XBMC for a while - never really getting it to work properly for me.
In addition to the issues above - I followed the instructions to find that the hts user wasn't in fact running tvheadend on my system. I don't know if this is a quirk of the Ubuntu setup I am using but it was using the user name set up during *buntu installation.
By using
ps ax | grep tvheadend
as suggested I accidently discovered that.
When looking through that users home directory there was the 'hts hidden file with all the settings in the subdirectories as already described. If you find your setups are not behaving it might be worthwhile checking your own home folder if you have one.
Best wishes

@martyn379 uninstall tvheadend completely and install it from the apt repository. I recommend using the "unstable" version, it's not really unstable but packs a ton of new features and fixes.

Hitting Someone's Head
Hello All,
I have another concern regarding my son's action. My parents and I noticed that my son started "hitting somebody's head", I think after his birthday (he's 15months old now). Every time he saw someone in the bed, he will start hitting that person or pull that someone's hair. He also did that to me more than twice, every time he saw me sleeping. One day he hit me in the head using the remote control or sometimes his feeding bottle - and it really hurts! I was very angry actually that time, and every time I saw him doing it to other person, I'm always trying to tell him "No that's bad!", but he keep doing it. My grandma (my mum's mum) told me to let him do it because he still didn't know what is that about,,, but I think that's not right and need to be correct while he's still young. I don't want to let him think until he grow up that hitting someone is just fine.
Can anyone help me about my situation on how to handle my son? Thank you so much!

Hi Ays,
My little boy does this sometimes - particularly when he wakes up and sees me: he is excited and doesn't mean to hurt me. I just say 'that hurts mummy' and move him away from my head. But I don't tell him he is 'naughty' or 'bad' as it is just his behaviour (not him) which I don't like. Also, at 15 months I believe it is too young to say further than this.
Hope this helps,

I love your suggestion LJ,,, You're right. I will not mention it again to my boy.. Maybe he'll stop doing it if I will tell that to him... Thanks again.. Really appreciate all your responses....

My little ones did this as well, as LJ stated it was more out of excitement than anger or some desire to injure. It is pretty normal behaviour and I agree that the best course of action is gentle redirection or just letting him know that it hurts. Chances are that he will grow out of it in a few months if you do not make too big of a deal out of it, thereby giving him attention and reinforcing the negative behaviour.
Best of luck!

If your child is simply doing it out of excitement and not anger, I would agree with Laura-Jane and Angela. However, if you sense that your child is doing it purposefully to hurt (to get a reaction, even if it's a negative reaction) then I'd definitely try to stop the behavior.
We know that anything that happens to us that has a deeper emotional connection impacts us more deeply than those things that don't. If my husband asks me kindly to clear off a messy counter, I may quickly forget to do it because it's not as important to me as it is to him. But if he asks me to do it every day for a week, and he finally "blows up" over the fact that I have just ignored his kind promptings all week long, that outburst impacts me emotionally (I'm a sensitive person) and you can bet that the next time my husband kindly asks me to clean off the counter, I'll remember what happened the first time and will be more motivated to do it right away in order to avoid another outburst.
It also works in a positive way. You can probably remember the first time you kissed your husband or a special boyfriend. Yet you may not be able to remember the last time you kissed him because usually the first kiss is much more emotion filled and as time goes on, the kisses become less meaningful in comparison to the first.
So if my child were doing something that I knew was purposefully trying to hurt someone (hitting someone on the head with a hard object like a remote, pulling someone's hair) I would make a big deal about it. Now, mind you, this is what I do and what works really well for me in training my children, but it may not be what you choose to do. It's just another idea of how to stop bad behavior.
I would overreact, not in a harsh, angry, "you're a bad boy" way, but overreact in how the action hurt me or the other child. "Ouch, that hurt Mama" (using larger "drama" than normal) and then I'd put on my sad face and a soft "you hurt my feelings" cry and sniffle). I would do this and watch my child's face to see how it is emotionally impacting them (sometimes I'd see the corners of their mouth would turn down). If they show remorse, sadness over what they did, then I know that I've impacted them emotionally and they will remember how their "hitting or pulling hair" really hurts others. Then when I sense that they are sorry for what they did, I pick them up and hug them and very quickly I'm happy again and we go on with our day.
You can also do this if he pulls someone else's hair. You respond dramatically by saying "Ouch! That hurt her. I won't let you do that." Then give the other child lots of love and hugs and say "I'm so sorry that happened to you." I don't show the child who did the hurting any attention at that point. All of my affection and attention is on the one who got hurt. After the one who got hurt is "okay" again, I look to the one who did the hurting to see if there are any signs of remorse and then I'll ask him to give her a hug (the one who hurt gives the one he hurt a hug). Usually the one who got hurt will be very willing to hug back.
Again, this may not be for you, but it was very effective in our family for stopping wrong behavior at a young age.
Warm Regards,

I remember my children doing kind of a "pat pat" with their hand on my face when they were about 13 months. Sometimes it hurt, but it wasn't intentional and it didn't happen on a regular basis.

Sounds great. For me with the 7th rounders/UDFA's I just give you full control on what you want to do. Its more of GMs choice type of picks imo.

Well hopefully I didn't do a terrible job as GM for FFMD II. I jumped the gun on the Beason deal, but thought we hit a homerun in the draft.
Was working on the depth chart yesterday, funny that not one of our picks is slotted to start, but the bulk of our picks has the potential to have several starters for next season.

FFMD II has added a final piece at the end.
Posted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 12:50 pm Post subject: FFMD 13 (Part II): Final Product Thread
With FFMD II wrapping up, I wanted to give the GMs of every team a chance to do the following:
1. Show his draft & trades.
2. Write up justifications based on the whole put together.
3. Put together a final lineup/depth chart.
I'll unlock this thread after the UDFA period is over. GMs ONLY are allowed to post in this thread. Please save all discussion for the General Discussion Thread
GMs should be discussing what to post in their respective war rooms.
Credit to CriminalMind for the idea...
I think for the most part we're on the same page with the players roles that we selected in the draft or by trade. I'll write something up just to ensure though. Is there anything else you'd like me to include in what I'm calling a GM press conference to the masses.
I know we weren't on the same page with our second round pick, so we could discuss that, just whatever really.
So give me as much feedback as you guys can, much appreciated.

Alright guys, roster has been updated. If there are any changes you would like for me to adjust let me know.
Thanks for the help on this, was a little nervous thinking I'd be doing it alone.
Grades will be handed out tomorrow prior to the start of the draft, I'll post those results when they come out.
Time zone issues killed me in the UDFA so I was only able to bring in one dude. Sorry about that.
Again thanks was a lot of fun.

Thanks for the pat on the back, but in the end we didn't win.
I'd like to start off by thanking everyone for participating in FFMD II. It was my first time running a FFMD and a good learning experience. And now to get to the winners.
Congrats to the winners of FFMD II the St. Louis Rams!
It was a tough decision and obviously the Rams had an advantage going in with the extra picks. But what they did with the picks to set themselves up for success now and next year, is why I picked them. I loved what the Vikings, Broncos, 49ers, Eagles, Giants, Dolphins and other teams did as well. You guys didn't make it an easy decision. Some other teams like the Jets and Jags really went for it and if they hit could set themselves up for a lot of success.
The Rams are entering what I consider a make or break year for Sam Bradford. His contract is due for an extension but the teams needs to figure out if he truly is the 'Franchise' QB they drafted him to be. The additions of Tavon Austin and Markus Wheaton give the Rams instant play making ability on offense if Quick doesn't develop as they expect. It's a good way to hedge their bets.
The two biggest issues after that was O-Line and Safety play. Both got addressed as well with Barrett Jones and Jonathan Cyprien. Their first four picks will provide an instant impact to the team this year.
The Rams also made one of the best decisions in the draft to trade down with the Lions and pick up a 2014 1st round draft pick. Next years draft is expected to have more top level talent in the first round and the Rams are poised again to be setup for success in the draft.
What they did during the UDFA process is intriguing as well. Marc Anthony, Jeff Baca and Duron Carter have the talent to potentially make the 53 man roster.
Currently some positive debate going on in the discussion thread if anyone would like to participate.
Thanks again guys.

UDFA: Quinn Sharp
4th round pick / Marvin Austin DT / Conditional 2014 pick in exchange for Carolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason
Kris Adams, WR / Jamie Childers, TE in exchange for Carolina Panthers right tackle, Byron Bell
My philosophy:
Heading into the mock, we wanted to make improvements to our pass rush, rush defense, offensive line depth and secondary. Prior to last season, the Giants pass rush was second to none, last season it struggled. Justin Tuck got a lot of that blame and rightfully so being the leader of the defense. Nagging injuries slowed him down, but the largest issue wasnt the injuries or perceived declining play from Justin Tuck, it was the absence of Chris Canty. Canty brought a presence to the interior that made it possible for single coverage on the edge. Prior to us stepping in the Giants had already been hard at work in the free agency in signing Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson, both veterans that have produced at high levels within their careers. Drafting Sheldon Richardson gives the Giants a young talented interior pass rusher, whom we expect to compete for the starting job, yet we feel that we have the depth at defensive tackle that we can bring Sheldon in on situational down and distance plays and utilize his pass rushing abilities allowing him to grow within the system. Another thing we did is something rumored by the Giants is moving Mathias Kiwanuka back to defensive end. With the departure of Osi, and the way the draft unraveled, our best option at adding depth to the defensive end position was already on our roster.
The next order of business was addressing the middle linebacker position. The Giants bringing in Dan Conner should tell you that the Giants front office doesnt value the position as much as you or I might. But can you really disagree with Jerrys philosophy of having outstanding front four and a solid secondary with an average linebacker core? I looked over several of the linebackers in this draft and came to the conclusion that, the value wasnt there at 19 and we disliked the idea of having to reach for a player of need at any point in the draft. So we packaged a deal to the Panthers for Jon Beason, who had just come off his second consecutive IR season. Personally, I think Jon is one of the best middle linebackers playing in the league. Hes 28 years old and prior to the injuries was putting up pro bowl numbers every season. We gave up a lot to get him as other teams were interested in his services as well, but I also feel the payoff is off the charts, providing he can stay on the field. Definitely a risk reward trade that hopefully favors us at the end of the year.
With Mathias moving back to end, we also felt it was necessary to bring in another linebacker via the draft. Jenkins is a versatile linebacker with good range and a high motor. Hes a solid in coverage, has the speed and athleticism to cover tight ends and backs. Good burst of speed to blitz the passer. I think his speed and side line to side line ability is an upgrade over Kiwanunkas size and strength, making Jenkins the better linebacker against the read option.
In keeping with the defense, we felt that our secondary needed a boost; the Giants had already brought in Aaron Ross from the FA to deepen our cornerback core. We signed safeties Robert Lester and Rontez Miles. The depth at safety wasnt deep at all and with Rolle carrying such a large salary of 7 million these draftees could potentially be his replacement next season. Cornerback Johnny Adams was also drafted, very sound zone coverage type that plays bigger than his size. Hell need to get bigger to see significant playing time on any roster, but I really liked his prowess in the secondary. I think the NFL.com analysis on him says it best. Wiry-tough corner who plays bigger than he measures. Long arms for his frame. Shows foot work at the line to stick with head fakes and hesitation moves. Creates contact to stay with his man down the sideline. Has excellent ball skills and concentration. Comes off his man to play the ball, snatching passes away from his frame, tracks the ball over his shoulder. Aware defender, comes off his man, or the first read in zone, to make plays. Also undercuts receivers on short passes to step in front. Transitions forward from pedal to corral receivers after the catch and avoid their blocks. Plays a lot of snaps in the slot, and is a regular Blitzer because he is a solid tackler and can pack a punch. Incredibly effective tackler in the run game. Seeks the ball carrier and looks to invite contact. Attacks the edge on plays coming his way and regularly sticks his nose between the tackles when uncovered. Gives effort, has a bit of a burst to make tackles. This wiry All-Big Ten zone corner owns the athleticism to stick with pro receivers and can make quarterbacks pay for poor throws.
Shifting gears to the offense, the Giants lost a vital part of their offense last year after deciding to cut ties with the injury plagued back, Ahmad Bradshaw. Hell be missed for sure, if not just for his love of the game. At the time of the mock the Giants had Wilson and Brown on the roster with some lower graded backs for depth. When the second round rolled around it was clear who are target player was going to be. Eddie Lacy brings a different type of back than Wilsons style of play but we felt that it was a great merge of talents. Lacy has a great understanding of following the blockers and allowing the holes to develop. He has an explosive burst that launches him through deteriorating lanes and off to the races. Lacy is a first round talent drafted in the mid second round.
The Giants offensive line is aging with a couple working on one year deals, it was clear we needed to add some depth. Drafting David in the third round we believe gives us a potential starter next season at left guard as well as a player that could swing out to left tackle in a pinch. The other talent we brought in came from a trade. Byron Bell is a person I feel that could start right now for us at right tackle. He doesnt flash you with quickness but he does a solid job of playing within his zone and doesnt let much get by him. Has the overall strength to latch on and drive the defender up field to create rushing lanes.
I would of loved to had the time to bring in more than what I did in the UDFA but time constraints didnt allow for it. We did however; bring in who I think is a great talent in the special teams department. Oklahoma State is one of the few states that actually provide full rides scholarships to kickers and punters. Quinn Sharp is someone IMO that could start in this league immediately at punter or kicker. Giants currently have 3 kickers on the roster and Im not a fan of any of them.

Was thinking about the Giants situation and it made me think of this mock draft we did. Started looking at the picks and trades, we actually did pretty solid. Beason...say what?!!! Byron Bell would be nice right now with our oline issues. Not to mention the rookie we picked in the draft, DAVID BAKHTIARI. A tail back, Eddie Lacy and Dt Richardson, solid pick ups. Deeper in the draft Lester looks promising. As does Jenkins at linebacker.
Really had a lot of fun with it.

Miranda Cosgrove Stops By "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon"
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Miranda Cosgrove was in the house at "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night (November 20).
The "iCarly" cutie talked about the end of her Nickelodeon gig and making the exciting transition to college at USC.
Miranda explained, "I was majoring in theater but I switched to film. I changed my mind at orientation. I'm going to try to major in film so I'm taking a bunch of film classes right now."
"I've been on sets a lot, but now that I'm in this class, I'm realizing that I don't really know that much about being behind the camera. So it's been interesting. I like it."

It's okay... smells pretty good (the conditioner doesn't though) and cleans well but seems to leave hair a bit "dry" feeling. I probably won't be buying it again... I've tried other brands that I like much better. EO Rose Geranium shampoo/conditioner is probably the best so far... leaves hair clean yet soft and smells wonderful.

Nice Shampoo

I'm not sure how protective it is of color as I think that's hard to gauge but my hair feels and smells clean (though the fragrance of the shampoo isn't anything to write home about, not unpleasant, just nothing special) It has a good lather when you rinse then repeat, if you like lather, which I do. It does not lather on the first round, I've found this to be usual for shampoos that are low on chemicals (this scores a 1 on Skin Deep Cosmetic Database) some will barely lather even if you rinse and repeat several times. I know the lathering is not necessary to get your hair clean and it's something that is added to shampoos to give people that getting clean feeling but I still have not been able to wean myself from that past programming...

The female breast consists of milk-producing glands (the lobes and smaller lobules), ducts that conduct milk to the nipple, connective tissues, blood vessels, and lymph vessels that conduct lymph to lymph nodes in the axilla (armpit). Breast cancer occurs when breast cells do not die when they would under normal circumstances or when breast cells reproduce more rapidly than normal, forming a tumor. Breast tumors can develop in any of the breast tissues but are most common in the cells lining the ducts. Not all breast tumors are malignant (cancerous).
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death, and excluding skin cancers, the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in the United States. There are approximately 4,400 cases diagnosed each year in Indiana. Breast cancer is rare among males; however, because males are prone to ignoring warning signs, they are often diagnosed at later stages and have poorer prognoses.
Who gets Breast Cancer Most Often?
Sex and age are the two greatest risk factors. Potentially modifiable factors associated with increased breast cancer risk include weight gain after the age of 18, being overweight or obese (for postmenopausal breast cancer), use of menopausal hormone therapy (combined estrogen and progestin), physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption. Research also indicates that long-term, heavy smoking increases breast cancer risk, particularly among women who start smoking before their first pregnancy.
Additional risk factors include:
Factors associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer include breastfeeding, regular moderate or vigorous physical activity, and maintaining a healthy body weight. Two medications – tamoxifen and raloxifene – have been approved to reduce breast cancer risk in women at high risk.
The early stages of breast cancer typically show no symptoms. However, as the cancer progresses, some symptoms may be noticed. These can include
- Lumps, hard knots, or thickening
- Swelling, warmth, redness, or darkening
- Pulling in of the nipple or other parts of the breast
- Change in size or shape
- Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
- Dimpling or puckering of the skin
- Itchy, scaly sore, or rash on the nipple
- New pain in one spot that doesn't go away
Early detection is critical for breast cancer. Women should have frequent conversations with their health care provider about their risks for breast cancer and how often they should be screened. In general, women should follow these recommendations:
According to the 2012 Indiana Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, only 67.7 percent of women ages 40 and older had a mammogram during the past two years. Indiana currently ranks 44th in the nation for women who have had a mammogram. The Affordable Care Act requires preventive screening services to be included in most insurance policies. Often, these services are paid in full. Individuals should check with their individual insurance providers for specific plan information.
The five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer (cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes or other locations outside the breast) is 99 percent. It is important to educate both men and women about the importance of early detection, and encourage them to have critical conversations about appropriate screenings with their healthcare provider.

This article, Kinjutsu, is canon and uses Creative Commons licensed content from our mother site, Narutopedia's Kinjutsu article.
The list of authors can be seen in the page history there.
Kinjutsu (禁術; Literally meaning "Forbidden Techniques") are techniques that have been banned from being taught or used. This ban could have been put in place for any number of reasons, but kinjutsu can generally be put in either of three categories:
Techniques that cause harm to the user themselves, such as opening the Eight Gates, which the mere use of is both highly useful as well as detrimental to the user. Techniques that violate the laws of nature (e.g. the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, which reincarnates the dead with a human sacrifice). Certain techniques that are known to cause massive collateral damage, such as the total destruction of a village and end with the death of everyone in it, thus the great moral ramifications of its potential lead many to labelling it as a forbidden technique. Despite being banned, the use of these techniques generally does not carry any legal consequences in respects to the village they're used in, except those brought on by the techniques themselves. However, their use is heavily frowned upon, especially those techniques that violate nature.

Thumbsucking: Should I stop it or not?
Among other babies, I have only seen them thumbsucking. But my 3-month old baby tends to suck his index finger!
Believe it or not, he does. When he was just 2 months old, he first attempted to put in his entire hand in his mouth. Of course, that was just impossible so he just ended up being frustrated until he discovered he could actually put the full length of his pointer finger.
At first, everyone thought it was hilarious. But soon enough, we are in panic because there had been several ocassions when my baby vomits (not just possets) while sucking his index finger. Apparently, he reaches out too far to his throat (That's what I think since he makes that really loud gagging noise).
Now, it seems pointless to scold my baby at this age but I'm afraid that if he keeps on doing it, he would just end up vomitting every other time. I am considering to find a way to really stop this budding habit but I also heard that thumbsucking (well, in this case, index finger-sucking) is important for babies to help soothe themselves even in the caretaker's absence.
What should I do? If I am going to train him not to do it, how can I exactly do it? It's driving me nuts when he gags and vomits all of what he just drank.

Hi Madysen,
If you are breastfeeding and are not working outside the home, then I would put him to the breast each time you see him wanting to suck. Babies suck for two reasons. To eat and to soothe themselves (as you mentioned). I found that my babies didn't have a need to suck on a dummy or on their thumb/finger/hand, if I put them to the breast when they first showed signs of hunger.
We also co-slept with our babies which meant that I could put baby to the breast easily at night and drift back to sleep which made it nice for everyone in the household... everyone got good sleep. But an added benefit of co-sleeping is that it helps with bonding and baby feels very secure, again reducing the need for pacifying on a dummy or their hand.
If there are times when you really feel that baby doesn't need the breast and yet she still displays that she wants to suck, then you could use a dummy. With some of my babies I didn't use one at all. With others I used one very sparingly, but those babies always wanted to give it up by 5 months of age (simply weren't interested in it anymore). If you start to depend upon it, and pop it in baby's mouth every time she makes a peep, then she will become dependent upon it and you could be setting yourself up for a 3 year old who walks around with a dummy in her mouth. This just makes it much harder on the child to give up, when you've taught her to depend upon it for comfort.
So I'd try just putting her to the breast more often, and if that doesn't work, then you can try using a dummy sparingly (like just to settle her and then take it out).
Let us know your thoughts.
Warm regards,

Hi Kate, thanks a lot for that piece of advice. But with me working full-time, I am afraid that I cannot always do as you've suggested. I do try to avoid using a dummy to calm him down. I am just hoping that he does kick the habit away in no time.

Hi Madysen,
If you're working full time, then I'm guessing you're not breastfeeding (or maybe just a little) so that means that your choices are using a dummy or letting bub find his finger/thumb/hand. In this case, if finding the finger means he is choking himself and when he gags he throws up his food, then you may want to use a dummy for soothing him.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

PASSION for the NATIONS 2013
Passion for the Nations 2013
Saturday, March 2, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM (PST)
Event Details
Dear Friends,
Passion for the Nations is a missions conference that seeks to raise up Asian American Christians for the global advancement of God's Kingdom. We have a vision to see an ever growing number of believers get involved in seeing that the gospel of Jesus is preached to every people group on earth.
The theme for 2013 comes from Matthew 28:18-20. Shortly before Jesus' ascension to heaven, he said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
We believe that God will speak to you at this conference simply but clearly and profoundly what it means to be his follower no matter what walk of life you are in.
Come and join us! This will be a great opportunity to network with hundreds of like-minded followers of Jesus to learn from their experience with God and share your unique Grace story to inspire others at the same time.
Following Jesus together,
Passion for the Nations Planning Team

GobiernoUSA.gov Introduces Spanish Tutorials for Online Government Information
GSA's Latest Effort Helps Make Web Portal's Most Popular Features an Easier Ride
March 18, 2008
Contact: Lindsey Willis (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — GobiernoUSA.gov, the U.S. government's official Spanish-language web portal, today launched eight online tutorials, the U.S. General Services Administration announced.
With Census estimates indicating there are more than 44 million Hispanics in the U.S., the tutorials provide another example how this important segment of the population can more easily access important government information and services on the Internet.
Similar to the English-language tutorials already available on USA.gov, the free, online tutorials are available in Flash and text-based versions and are only minutes long. Each displays step-by-step directions and a series of screenshots of GobiernoUSA.gov and other government Web sites accompanied by voice narration. The topics for the tutorials were chosen to facilitate the navigation of some of GobiernoUSA.gov's most popular features, such as:
- Get It Done Online (Servicios por Internet) – instructions on how to complete government tasks online;
- Stay Informed (Actualizaciones gratis) – how to receive e-mail updates and RSS feeds to keep up with the latest on government services and information;
- Reach Government Contacts (Contactos) –how to find and communicate with government agencies, international organizations and embassies;
- Search Government Information (BuscadorUSA.gov) – ways of using the search function to find information from government web sites;
- Welcome to the U.S. (Recién llegados) – how to find government information of particular interest to new immigrants and visitors; and
- Open or Expand Your Business (Empresarios) – how to find government loans and tools designed for small business owners.
GobiernoUSA.gov is managed by GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Communications.
All available tutorials are available at http://www.usa.gov/gobiernousa/ayuda/toursvirtuales/index.shtml

By Kurt Batdorf The Herald Business Journal
MUKILTEO — Two years ago, aerospace engineers Julian Sharpe and Scott Hill were working on a design for a tsunami survival capsule after witnessing the damage inflicted by a massive 9.0 earthquake and tsunami on Japan's east coast.
Recently, Sharpe, Hill and partners Anthony Figlioli and Aaron Acklen of Survival Capsule and IDEA International introduced the first production version of the bright-orange SC2001 tsunami survival capsule at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park and delivered it to Iwao Iwama, managing director of Toho Mercantile Co. in Tokyo.
Sharpe is president and CEO of Survival Capsule as well as IDEA International, a Mukilteo aerospace and structural engineering firm.
The two-seat SC2001 is a sphere of a tubular aluminum clad in 5000-series aluminum skin. In designing the prototype, Sharpe and Hill reasoned that a sphere would have the best chance of surviving a tsunami because a round object will bounce off solid items such as buildings or vehicles, while being highly resistant to impacts from debris. The aluminum structure and skin offer proven technology, handle impacts well, dissipate heat quickly and won't rust. An integrated marine door with a four-point latch offers a positive water seal.
Japan learned painful lessons from the 2011 tsunami, which caused a partial meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power reactor.
The earthquake was the most powerful temblor ever to hit Japan and triggered waves that reached heights of up to 124 feet. A 2012 Japanese National Police Agency report confirmed 15,883 deaths, 6,145 injured and 2,671 people missing, 129,225 buildings totally collapsed and 945,970 other buildings damaged.
Now the Japanese government has committed $3.5 billion for local prefectures to develop local solutions to the next tsunami, Sharpe said. Japan has set aside $6.5 billion more for additional tsunami preparation.
Sharpe thinks Survival Capsule's products could be part of the answer.
Toho Mercantile will take delivery of 10 more two-person tsunami survival capsules in September, Sharpe said. Those units will be delivered in kit form for final assembly in Japan. Survival Capsule's primary dealer will be in Osaka, with eight other dealers in other Japanese areas hit hard by previous tsunamis.
Sharpe said Toho Mercantile believes there will be a strong market for the survival capsules since 30 million elderly Japanese residents live within identified tsunami areas. That age group suffered the most in the 2011 earthquake, he said.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency estimates 2.5 million residents would be in harm's way should a tsunami with waves 150 to 300 feet high surge into densely populated Tokyo, Sharpe said. Even if 90 percent of the population survives that scenario, he said, that still leaves up to 250,000 casualties. That's where deployment of his survival capsules could help.
"The tsunami isn't going to happen the day after you buy it," Sharpe said.
Survival Capsule built two prototypes, one for destructive testing and another for the 17th annual Technology Against Earthquakes Expo in Yokohama, Japan, in February, where it got "a huge response and spurred us on," Sharpe said.
Eddie Bernard, a noted tsunami expert and director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, helped Survival Capsule refine the environmental conditions the capsule would likely face when it's deployed.
The SC2001 capsule is counterweighted to keep the sphere upright. Drinking water and air tanks are stored below the seating area to keep the center of gravity low. The capsule has one standard window, watertight air vents and hoist points for its eventual recovery.
The SC2001 doesn't come cheap, though. Once Sharpe and Hill started engineering the capsule to survive the expected hazards of water, debris impacts and fire while providing shelter and supplies for two to three weeks, the price hit $12,000.
On the drawing board are larger capsules to seat four, six, eight and 10 people, Sharpe said.
Toho Mercantile's capsule, once it reaches Japan, will be featured at disaster preparedness expos. The company plans to take orders later this year and deliver the American-made kits to buyers.

Great for both the beginner and experienced user, the SparkFun Inventor's Kit provides the necessary building blocks to get started in the wondrous world of embedded electronics. Included are all the tools for create circuits, as well as a full-color guidebook, in a handy carrying case.
Woven on old looms with pure Aegean cotton, this blanket is soft—and only gets softer with each wash, thanks to the high-quality Turkish cotton. This particular design can be used as a throw or a beach blanket (and is quick-drying). It measures 240cm by 200cm (or more than seven-and-a-half feet by six-and-a-half). Featuring hand-tied tassels, this is a classic piece for use on the sand or couch. Price is in AUD.
Designed by two NYC-based sisters, the brand Lizzie Fortunato produces a diverse number of accessories—running the gamut from eye-catching to delicate (and sometimes both). Our pick is the Double Take Necklace, available in white, brown or pink. This choker-style seven inch "tube" necklace is made of suede with gold-plated brass details.
For little ones just learning to ride, this bike is pedal-free—encouraging kids to figure out the balance of a two-wheeler before attempting the real thing. Made for children around the age of three and up, the Balance Bike comes almost completely assembled and has seat and handlebar adjustments in order to change as your child grows. The minimal design is available in green, pink, powder blue or red.
Two brands that love the outdoors and great design, Topo Designs and Kammok have teamed up for a seriously fun hammock kit. Included is the 500-pound capacity Kammok Roo, which is designed for comfort and easy set-up (and the all-important packing away) in a custom Topo colorway of bright red and aqua. Made from durable ripstop fabric and with double-certified climbing strength carabiners, this hammock is built to last. Also in the kit, you'll find tree-hugging Kammok Python Straps, to ensure you're safe while you snooze.
Written by Elaine M Hayes, "Queen of Bebop: The Musical Lives of Sarah Vaughan" explores the jazz musician and human/women's rights activist's incredible—yet often looked over—existence and legacy. From her early life in Jersey, to the ways in which she helped desegregate radio, to performing at the Apollo, to her civil rights work, Vaughan was truly a force—paving the way for women of color in the music scene and beyond. This book traces a true success story, and it's inspiring.
There's nothing quite as dashing as the addition of a simple, black tie to a suit, and Australian label Mr Day offer two classics. The bow-tie and No. 58 Essential tie are both made from 100% silk and feature a delicate ribbed texture. Taking style tips from ultimate gentleman Paul Newman, the design of this tie will never go out of style.
With 160 pages of photography by Shuji Yoshida and Joshua White, "Grafted" was printed in an edition of 1250 copies. The book is the upshot of two exhibitions by LA-based ceramicist Adam Silverman and award-winning Japanese plant sculptor Kohei Oda, for which the two created over 100 pieces—combining the former's textured pots and the latter's grafted cacti. Separately the artists' works are beautiful, but it's their collaboration (as Glenn Adamson say in his introduction) that proves art has no boundaries.
Manhattan cooking school and cafe Haven's Kitchen has just released a selection of pre-made savory sauces that you can use at home. The sampler set includes four flavors—Herby Chimichurri, Peanut Lemongrass, Kale Walnut Pesto, and Red Pepper Romesco—which are all gluten-free and non-GMO. Three are vegan as well—the pesto not included. These tasty, healthy sauces might just encourage at-home culinary adventures.
Packed in an easy-to-grip and retractable tube, Glyder's hygienic Perfect Styptic Balm works on fresh shaving cuts. Their patent-pending formula uses anti-hemorrhagic agents which decreases post-shave bleeding, and incorporates healing ingredients like Aloe Vera, vitamin E and argan oil. It's a practical and travel-ready balm.
As matcha enthusiasts, we're certainly partial to a traditionally brewed green tea, but understand that there isn't always time for the full ceremony. Of all the bottled iterations we've tried, there's no doubt that MatchaBar's mint matcha is our favorite. With a bold flavor and a refreshing twist, it's available in packs of 12 (10-ounce bottles) and provides that combination of caffeine and L-Theanine that matcha-drinkers appreciate.
100% eco-friendly and fair-trade, this cap by Slow Factory is part of their Resist collection—and introduces a new, alternative voice in the politicized red hat movement. The cap is made in the USA and boldly embroidered "NO."—with that all-important period in place to reminds us that this one word can be a complete sentence.
If you're looking for a show-stopping wine to bring to a BBQ, Tank Garage Winery's 2014 Roll the Bones Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, California (with a "kiss" of Napa Valley Merlot) has you covered in full-bodied, supple richness as well as a unique handpainted label—both sure to make an impression. Recommended with fresh-off-the-grill burgers and rooftop sunsets.
This black and white handwoven Aegean cotton towel can handle all summer beach and picnic needs. Moreover, it's easy to carry on all your adventures thanks to a leather carrying harness. With antique brass hardware, the carrier makes it easy to throw the towel over your shoulder—whether trudging from the car or train, or if you're riding your bike.
Herschel's newest collaboration (released today) is with the estate of the beloved iconic pop artist Keith Haring. Our pick from the bag and outerwear collection, a cute and practical poncho features a wind-resistant and water-repellent coating, as well as a snap closure at the neck. Available for all genders, the poncho's charming print emits cheer even on the rainiest of days.
Handmade in Sweden, Ann Ringstand's delicious candles fill your home with calm, alluring scent. For those who want to take that away with them, it's easy: the brand now offers a set of three candles in travel-sizes. A little larger than a tea light, each candle comes in its own tin and burns for five hours. The three fragrances: Ground, Gather, and Touch are all soft and warm but each boasts different notes—from citrus to pepper to cedar. Price is in Euros.
A silk scarf is a pragmatic accessory for all seasons—whether worn as a neck-tie in fall, or to tie your hair up in summer, it's a useful piece. Clothing and accessories brand Echo New York collaborated with scarf designer Richard Allan for a range of eight patterned silk twill scarves, each of which lend a little pizazz to any look. Our pick is the "Elegance" design, where black swirls on white create a simple but striking design. The black border adds extra sophistication.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's soccer team opened their home schedule with a loss to the Belmont Abbey Crusaders. The Lady Tornados were unable to create many offensive chances taking just four shots in the 1-0 loss on Sunday afternoon.
The first half was very evenly fought as both teams struggled to put the ball on-net. Belmont Abbey put fired off five shots while the Tornados were only able to take two. Both shots came off of the foot of junior, Bailey Varley (Concord, N.C.). Brevard took the Crusaders into half-time all evened-up at zero.
It took just three shots in the second half and the Tornados were faced with a 1-0 deficit when Nicole Voets put one in after being set-up by Rebecca Mateo.
The Tornados took two shots in the remainder of the half. Varley had a shot blocked, and Allie Hovis (Charlotte, N.C.) missed a breakaway shot just wide left with just 25 seconds left in the game.
Brittany Webster (Stafford, Va.) made the start in goal for Brevard. She was faced with 15 shots, six on goal with five saves.
The women are back in action when they host the Converse College Valkyries on Wednesday, September 8. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. at Brevard College Soccer Field.

Celent revealed an in-depth knowledge of both the leading industry players and implementations as well as a deep understanding of the range of offerings. With regard to the vendor selection process, they showed a good understanding of best practices and their practical experience helped us tailor our process to what we wanted to get out of it. They offered robust alternatives to standard procurement processes.
In terms of customer service orientation their approach was professional and they demonstrated a commitment to support Santam's agenda. Their willingness to contribute beyond their contract commitments was appreciated."

"ISID uses Celent's research reports and analyst advisory for both understanding market trends and making strategic decisions. Celent's reports are far more useful than most market research, because they select research themes that resonate with client needs, and provide more tangible and in-depth content. In particular, Celent's IT solution reports are based on detailed vendor surveys, enabling us to get an accurate grasp of the competitive landscape. I look forward to continued market insights from Celent to help us with our decisioning process."Tetsuo Iida, General Manager
"It was 6 years ago when I heard the name of "Celent" for the first time. One of my staff, who attended a large insurance conference in the U.S. in 2004, was impressed by Celent's insights and reported to me. Honestly speaking, I didn't pay much attention to it, because the name was not known in Japan. But after reading their report summaries, it turned out that the reports clearly indicate near-term future trends of our industry. So we signed up with Celent in 2005. Celent is not a big company in terms of size, but they are focused on the financial industry and are especially strong in the insurance sector. Unlike the generalized and risk-averting reports for the "big" consulting firms, reports from Celent contain straightforward insights and thoughts of each analyst, and they are fun to read. "Model Insurer" is one of my favorite report series. It introduces the best players in each field of the insurance industry, like an All-Star Game. I'm vey proud that Tokio Marine & Nichido has been selected as one of them every year since the reports started in 2007. Unfortunately, information from the Japanese insurance industry can't be said to be entirely sufficient. It is partly because of the closed nature of Japanese insurance companies. We would like to contribute to our colleagues throughout the world by providing information on our firm as much as possible."

"We have been a longstanding client of Celent's retained advisory services and they provide excellent ongoing support of HCL's financial services business. We recently engaged Celent on a workshop with a large insurance company. The feedback from the insurer's attendees was very positive. Some also said that they wished there had been even more time available to get deeper into the issues. The workshop helped in HCL being awarded work worth several million dollars annually. It's likely that the meeting put us over the top in our quest to capture this work. More importantly, this work positions us well in terms of helping our client with their overall business and IT transformation."

I have managed the selection process for a new system for an insurance company on two occasions. One was for a Life company and the other a General (P&C) insurer. On both projects we worked with Celent. The Celent input was useful on a number of levels.
1. Celent helped us to perform an initial qualification of the vendors. In the one project we started with 40 vendors so we definitely needed help to get this number down to a manageable size.
2. Celent also added value when we got down to our short list by providing insight and practical information from the field that informed our decisions. Much of this information would not have been available to us without Celent.
3. Celent also provided us a mechanism to verify (or refute) input we had received that we needed to validate.
4. Lastly, Celent provided a facility to bounce ideas which helped clarify our thinking.
The Celent team were a pleasure to work with.

After a long evaluation process we made the decision to partner with Celent to help us with our focus on becoming the leading distribution management software provider for the insurance industry.
