This paper presents the design concept of a bio-botanic robot which demonstrates its behavior based on plant growth. Besides, it can reflect the different phases of plant growth depending on the proportional amounts of light, temperature and water. The mechanism design is made up of a processed aluminum base, spring, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and actuator to constitute the plant base and plant body. The control system consists of two micro-controllers and a self-designed embedded development board where the main controller transmits the values of the environmental sensing module within the embedded board to a sub-controller. The sub-controller determines the growth stage, growth height, and time and transmits its decision value to the main controller. Finally, based on the data transmitted by the sub-controller, the main controller controls the growth phase of the bio-botanic robot using a servo motor and leaf actuator. The research result not only helps children realize the variation of plant growth but also is entertainment-educational through its demonstration of the growth process of the bio-botanic robot in a short time.
Recently, owing to the advancement in digitalized life technology and promotion of Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, the robotics industry has developed rapidly and moved closer to the improvement of human life quality and demand, among which bio-robots have become a popular topic recently. Besides the interactive amusement that bio-robot systems bring to people, the systems can serve as vehicles to aid people. Currently, amusement robots enjoy great popularity. The amusement bio-robots available on the market are not only equipped with lively and lovely body language but are also capable of interacting with people, which subverts people's view about the inactive traditional toys [
The amusement bio-robots on the market are various, and consist of maritime class, terrestrial and birds. Plants occupy two categories among the three. Surprisingly, related products available in market are quite rare despite the fact that plants are so essential and common in life. Edible plants can adjust our diet and physical condition and ornamental plants can soothe people, soften the atmosphere and condition the air.
Many cases of bionic system development have taken place. For example, the website of The Center of Biologically Inspired Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology has offered prolific research results on bionics [
Among the design methods of bionic system, the website of the Biomimicry Institute has provided the design concept, process, bionic methods, and has classified those cases [
Chiu and Shu published several papers utilizing the analysis of natural language, which systematically employs engineering to mimic the natural behavior of creatures [
No product is currently available on market that can mimic the behavior of plants. The solar flower product developed in Japan is simple in function and is not interactive [
With regard to the structure design of the robot, the root design adopts an aluminum screw base. The pulley and spring are employed to mimic the growth and bending features of plant bodies. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is adopted as the material of leaves and petals. The swing of leaves and flowing of petals is accomplished using shape memory alloy (SMA) and self-designed actuator. In terms of design of control system, this paper aims to regulate the growth speed and behavior of plants using multi-staged fuzzy logic scheme on the basis of light, water, and temperature in an experimental environment through expert data. The result is implemented in the robot system. The environment sensor module, SMA actuator and motor control device are integrated in the self-designed sensor-fusion based embedded board. After the environment sensor data is processed through the micro-controller algorithm, the micro-controller sends different control signals to the motor control and actuator module of the embedded board so that the robot can present different growth behaviors.
The development of bio-botanic robot system (BRPS) aim to balance body and soul, usher people to a digitalized green life and create an environment in harmony with Nature. The following chapter will depict the design process of robot and the test results. Meanwhile, it takes a longer time to teach children the growth process of plants. Through the establishment of bio-robots, children can experience such a process within a shorter time by means of the rapid and dynamic response of plants. On the other hand, the bio-botanic robot serves as an experimental tool of automatic cultivation through the establishment of an environmental database.
The sunflower is an extraordinary and magical flower, whose uplifting stance is associated with aspiration, the big face embracing the sunshine is indicative of positive thinking for humans and the downward flower due to the weight of mature seeds is a reminder of maturity and humility. More significantly, it can be used for ornamental gardening, agriculture, as an economic plants and for spiritual therapy. Based on those factors, this paper takes sunflower as an example to implement a bionic plant mechanism according to its growth characteristics. Before the design and setup of the BRPS, it is necessary to be familiar with the characteristics and mechanism of plants.
This research adopted sunflowers as the subject for growth simulation due to its wide applicability as a source of food, oil, animal feed, and biofuel. In accordance with the literature, the growth process of sunflowers was divided into eight stages that mark the approximate range of time required for each stage [ Step 1: Based on the eight growth stages identified in this study, we used the proportions of individual environmental factors obtained from literature and the experience of experts to establish environmental parameters suitable for each stage of growth. Step 2: We produced a bionic botanical growth fuzzy controller comprising a fuzzy main-controller and sub-controllers. Step 3: The results obtained by the fuzzy controller were compared with data from the literature.

In general, fuzzy controllers are designed in the following order: (1) Definition of input variables, output variables, and linguistic variable database; (2) Determination of fuzzification strategies; (3) Design of controlling rule database; (4) Develop methods of fuzzy inference; (5) Defuzzification. As seen in [
This chapter describes the bio-botanic robot design process. The use of a small size robot base, flower institutions, and control motor with linearity are the main concepts in this study. Meanwhile, the body curvature of plant can not only move up and down but also to make curved, swinging action. The system design steps are as follows:
The root of plant can move up and down and its goal is to represent the growth process. Firstly, the plant is contained in the flowerpot. The transmission concept is based on that between gear and rack and the spring is employed as a substitute for the rack. The spring is better suited to match the gear because the spring is shaped in the form of a rack pitch and can bite perfectly with gear. The design is shown in
The plant stem should present ductility, curvature and swinging function to sustain leaves and flowers so that the plant appears more vivid. Thus, the spring is adopted to substitute stem part because the spring can also present ductility and curvature like the plant itself. The spring at the bottom is fixed and its top point is pressed, which allows the spring to present curvature movement. It is like the natural vertical drop of sunflower leaves.
The parameter setup of the spring is based on the actual shape and weight of a real sunflower to give setup values of different ratio. The diameter of sunflower stems vary according to their variety and is typically about 10∼25 mm. The height of plants is 1.5∼3 m and the diameter of the faceplate at maturity is about 80∼120 mm. The weight of receptacle and leaf is roughly 68 g. The diameter of plant, growth height and weight can help calculate the proper specifications of the spring.
With regards to the setup of spring parameters, the outer diameter is set as 19.5 mm and length is 2.5 cm. Since the weight is 0.068 kg, the coefficient of spring is estimated as 0.07 Kgf/mm to prevent over buckling failure due to overweight or inadequate weight. Then, the spring diameter is set as
To realize the buckling degree the spring can withstand, we utilize the buckling theory to calculate the threshold for spring buckling to estimate the required power to produce buckling. The safety factor of spring buckling is estimated as 0.043. References for the detailed depiction are given in [
Leaf (petal) design requires plasticity and elasticity features. Thus, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is utilized to construct the body of the leaves (petals) and a solid-state method is used to make them [
The PDMS material of leafs and petals can withstand the heat produced from the driving SMA. The silicone design process consists of six steps: (1) design of the mold for leaves and petals; (2) carved molding; (3) ratio blending of silicone and hardener; (4) mixing, pouring into template and pumping under vacuum; (5) placment under regular temperature for hardening; (6) template demolition and cutting of the silicone mold.
Because the stems of leaves and petals are tinier, the spring cannot be utilized to swing in order to mimic a realistic effect. Thus, SMA is adopted to overcome this drawback. The SMA material serves as a blade branch. It can retain shape memory after heating. Thus, we utilize the characteristics of SMA to construct the leaves (petals), which results in the desired swing phenomenon. Firstly, the processed SMA is implemented in the silicone leaves. Second, the actuator that can control SMA is designed. The pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is employed to control the curvature of SMA and have the tip of leaf present displacement. Meanwhile, a thermal imager is adopted to analyze the generated temperature value of SMA under different voltages, which can help investigate the relation between the swings of leaves and petals of the bio-robot and the output voltage of the micro-controller. This can yield the optimal swing quality. Reference [
The design specifications of the pot are presented in
In this study, a self-designed embedded system is developed and the proposed system consists of DC motor control module, encoder, SMA actuator, light sensor modules,
The bio-botanic robot system consists of a BASIC Stamp module [
(a) Power supply module.
The input voltage of each module in BRPS consists of 9 V, 6 V, and 5 V and the required power of each module is provided by three DC voltage regulator ICs, such as MC 7805, MC7806, and MC 7809, respectively. The power supply comes from a 12 V and 2.3 A battery.
(b) BASIC Stamp 2 (BS2) microcontroller module.
The BS2 microcontroller module is produced by the Parallax Company and it combines a micro-controller, EEPROM memory chip, serial transmission interface, voltage regulator IC, oscillator and noise filter,
(c) USB communication modules.
Bi-directional serial communication between BS2 and PC.
(d) Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication modules.
The BRPS multi-staged fuzzy control technique [
(e) Light sensor module.
It consists of a photosensitive resister and IC 555 oscillator. The goal of these modules is to detect the strength of light and to convert the light power into the signal so that the module can identify it;
(f) Temperature and humidity sensing module.
Water and temperature are the environmental factors of the proposed system and this module adopts the module designed by the Parallax Company. The model of this module is SHT11 [
(g) DC motor control module.
The design purpose of this module is to effectively and precisely adjust the growth rate of the robot. This research designs a DC motor control module to control the motor. Firstly, the motor is defined based on the growth time of plants. This research defines the optimal growth time as 120 seconds and growth height as 30 cm. Thus, the longest rotation time of motor is 2 minutes. The growth height is regarded as the circumference length of the driving wheel and the diameter of driving wheel is calculated as 30/π = 9.549 cm. To reduce the space occupied by the transmission, the diameter of the driving wheel is shortened and a commercially available driving wheel is chosen, whose diameter is 2.4 cm. That is, the motor rotates four times to reach growth height of 30 cm. Thus, the rotations per minute (rpm) are calculated as 2. Besides, the growth rate of plant in each stage differs, where the greatest difference lies in the second and the third stage. In that stage, the plant grows 1 cm each second. In this research, the motor purchase is based on the criteria of the second and third stage. Thus, the driving wheel only needs to rotate 0.133 times in order to grow 1 cm, which is calculated as 8 rpm for the motor. As a result, we can select a driving wheel with a motor speed as 8 rpm and 2.4 cm diameter for the drive component of the rising mechanism in this system. The DC motor control module is powered by a TA7291P DC driver to achieve the functions of speed control, rotation, stop and emergency stop [
(h) Motor encoder module.
The module is completed by using SG-206 photo-interrupters [
(i) SMA actuator.
The module is to derive the leaf and petals of the swing.
(j) Servo motor control module.
The servo motor employed in this system is used to control the degree of blending of stems. One point of the turntable of the servo motor is illustrated with a fixed rope and on the other point of the rope is fixed on the spring point. The rope is moved by the operation of the servo motor so as to represent the curvature of the spring. The motor control module uses what is already on the basic stamp development board. In addition, a light emitting diode circuit is utilized to indicate whether the communication between Basic stamp microcontroller and servo motor is smooth.
The software system consists of a personal computer (PC) side and BASIC stamp controller. In this research, the a PC program is adopted to initialize and acquire the related parameters of the robot. BASIC Stamp utilizes Basic stamp editor v2.5 developed by Parallax as the program development tool, which has one specific programming language interpreter called PBASIC. Thus, BASIC Stamp controller is applied to the experimental board of the bio-botanic robot to control data transmission and reception of each module. Besides, a Fuzzy Knowledge Base (FKB) is inserted in the memory to execute programs [
Two types of command are executed in the bio-botanic robot. The first one is to select growth mode, which includes the optimal growth function, fuzzy growth function, and manual function. The second type is scenario mode that consists of light tracking function and light scenario function.
Each function is demonstrated in the following paragraphs:
(A) Growth mode:
Set_ Best: To perform the optimal growth function. If the system is switched to this function, the robot will grow in full accordance with the desired parameters. Firstly, the speed control value of motor is calculated based on different growth rate in each stage. Next, the driving wheel drives the spring to move the stem of the plant upwards. Meanwhile, the encoder module begins to calculate the growth height.
Set_FC: To perform the fuzzy growth function. If this function is in operation, the growth rule of robot is established by the expert knowledge data. The rule data can adjust the amounts of environmental factors and meet the desired values. Firstly, the initial parameters are sent to the fuzzy controller. After the fuzzy logic process, the output from the fuzzy controller is then stored in the memory on the BASIC Stamp board. Meanwhile, the output value of fuzzy controller is then sent back to the input of fuzzy system. After several iteration processes, the control value is sent to the BRPS embedded board to control the motor speed and rotatation direction. At the same time, the encoder records the times and growth rate of the robot. When the height of plant reaches the wither stage, the robot stops growing.
Jump_Manual: To execute the manual function. The main purpose of this function is to prevent the occurrence of emergencies. Meanwhile, the function is also used to test each growth modes for the bio-botanic robot.
(B) Scenario mode:
Track_Sun: To start the light tracking function. The output of the maximum value from the four light sensor modules is selected through a photosensitive resistor. The controller is used to start the servo motor and the motor location corresponds to the maximum output of the resistors. Finally, the motor pulls the spring at the top of the fixed wires and the stem of robot is bent toward the direction of maximum light intensity swing.
Star_Light: To start the light scenario function. Once the function is started, the system firstly identifies the status of the robot and then decides whether to turn on the light within the robot.
This chapter demonstrates the experiment test results of our bio-botanic robot.
Three different growth modes are considered in these experiments. Different parameter settings allow observation of changes in growth rate and environment factors are regulated by the fuzzy controllers.
The design concept of a bio-botanic robot is proposed in this paper. The robot receives information from an expert database and multi-layer fuzzy controllers, which are utilized to complete the plant growth, light tracking,

Hi Brian,
I have much the same sort of problem in the same place!
My interest is in the HOARE family (also spelt HORE, HOORE etc.) in
I record the surname consistently as HOARE as this is the spelling I
associate with most as it was my maiden name. However, I then use the
notes facilities within my genealogy programme to record the sources and
associated spelling for each event I am recording. Similarly, I also have
COLLINS and COLLINGS in Stockland and record them as COLLINS with a similar
note where the name appears as COLLINGS
I also record the county as it was for the event - so Dorset prior to 1842
and Devon from 1842.
Best wishes

When it comes to friendship in the tinselville, one can trust the superstar Salman Khan blindly. As per the recent reports, Salman has yet again proved the friendly side of himself, after he agreed to not only act, but also produce friend Mahesh Manjrekar's upcoming movie.
Salman Khan had earlier worked with Mahesh Manjrekar in the movies like Wanted, Ready and Bodyguard. And as per a leading daily, Sallu has given a nod to Manjrekar's pet project, after making him wait for two and half years. We hear that Salman Khan will not only act in Manjrekar's film, but will also produce it under his banner Salman Khan Productions.
A while ago, we also heard that Govinda will play a lead role in the movie. But, a source informed the daily that Govinda is not a part of the film, instead it's an out-an-out Salman Khan flick. Mahesh Manjrekar not only considers Salman as his only friend in the industry, but also is an admirer of the superstar.
We wish Sallu's golden touch makes Manjrekar's movie a success.

Image FUpload (Multiupload) which is an addition to image and CCK's imagefield module, gives the ability to every user who is allowed to upload images by using image module or imagefield module, to upload multiple images with one simple click. All selected images are uploaded via a flash module (swfupload) and are automatically processed.
So, there's no need any more to upload image by image.
- Upload multiple images with one click
- Fully integrates in image and imagefield module (thumbs creation [also using imagecache module] / file size limit) + using Drupals AJAX
- Every user can upload images depending on permission (Not only restricted to administrator)
- Preview list of all uploaded images in which title, body, taxonomy and imagefield specific fields can be edited all at once (customisable [decide which fields should be provided] / themeable / preview image handling customisable / additional permission restrictions)
- Taxonomy and all other modules (for example CCK fields like node reference) are supported
- Automatic node title creation and predefining of imagefield fields (customisable / themeable / editable by user / token support [imagefield])
Important sponsors: attiks (www.attiks.com), fl3a (www.is-loesungen.de), rapsli (http://www.schaerwebdesign.ch)
This module is not actively supported anymore because its dependencies swfupload are not maintained and not safe anymore. Please look for an alternative project.
Important notes
The release Image FUpload 3.0-rc2 corresponds with the RC1 release of FileField and ImageField. It won't work with an older version of ImageField or Filefield, so you have to upgrade these modules at the same time.
If you upgrade from Image FUpload 2.x --> 3.x, it is important to download again the new files of the project swfUpload (SWFUpload-Core v188.8.131.52.zip). If you don't know which files have to be downloaded and replaced, have a look at "Requirements" (below) or README.txt.
After having replaced the files, examine status report if something doesn't work as expected, for example, one file wasn't replaced correctly so a error message is shown there.
Don't forget to run UPDATE.PHP after having updated all files. Without, fupload won't work properly.
Compatibility notes
- mod_security - if mod_security is enabled, you might have problems uploading images because an http error is returned immediately (error 503, 403 or something else). To solve this problem, disable this (apache) module for the urls "/fupload/flash" & "?q=fupload/flash"
- "SWFUpload-Core v2.2.*" has to be downloaded separately and the following files have to be placed in the subdirectory "swfupload" of this module: swfupload.swf, swfupload.js, swfupload.queue.js
For more information how to correctly install it, have a look at Documentation Page.
- Flash 9.x or also Flash 10.x (Image FUpload 2.x and higher) has to be installed and work with the used browser
- Drupal 6 or higher. I won't support D5, but you could have a look at Image Import Zip
How can I help making FUpload better?
FUpload was a great module in the old days but nowadays, I would suggest using an uploader with HTML5 capabilities instead. Please note that fupload's dependency swfupload is not safe anymore und thus, FUpload should not be used productive anymore.

Princess Cruises not what it used to be: Ruby Princess Cruise Review by Mimi A
Overall Member Rating
Princess Cruises not what it used to be
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
We were upgraded from ocean view to second category balcony two weeks prior to sailing & were thankful for this as I took a walk past our original booking cabin & found the area to be noisy (produced by the ship) & vibrations could be felt also. Enjoyed our cabin on deck 14 w/large walk-in closet & plenty of shelf (storage) space. More storage space adjacent to bed on both sides. Balcony was average; however, several decks below, balconies were deeper w/more furniture & we could view them very well. TV More channels extremely limited (BBC, ESPN & CNN). Princess had several channels & of course there were lots of movie channels.
Theater - We found this to be cramped quarters & it was necessary to arrive 30 min. before show time to get a seat. Shows were average except the final "Once Upon a Dream" was excellent. Singers/dancers were excellent also. Have seen better produced shows on other lines, however. Other shows in the lounges (magician, comedian, etc.) were average.
Dining - We chose any time dining for a change & this choice did not allow for waiters to do more than average serving. Food was mostly average & the occasional poor food was replaced upon request. Crown Grill (specialty) was definitely worth the cost as both waiter & food were far superior to DR. Horizon Court (open 21 hrs/day) was good, but during busy times it was difficult to get food desired (between all the pax). Cafe Carib has different selections & we only ate there once. There was pizza & soft-serve yogurt (ice cream) on deck near the pool. We did not use room service as a tip was required to be put on the order form - we prefer to tip in person. Apparently, most tipping on the ship is shared & no one can keep personal tips.
Activities - Though there were multiple activities listed in the "Patter", we usually found that we had to make a choice between things to do in the a.m. (all things we wanted to do were taking place simultaneously) & there were few choices we were interested in doing in the p.m. (except dance lessons). Trivia was usually in conflict with other activities also. The cruise director (Samantha) was excellent in teaching the dancing. We would have liked to play shuffleboard (but there was no court) or ping pong (the table was placed where it was always windy & impossible to play). Also tried Princess Links (Putt course), but it was also too windy on the very top deck. We don't play bridge & have seen numerous ice carving demos & were not interested in Golden Radio days which was scheduled most sea days. I was hoping for some photo classes but I only saw one & it required walking around the ship which was difficult as the instructor couldn't be seen/heard with the numerous pax there for the class. If one is interested in movies, this ship is for you as there were always movies to be seen in the cabin & also under MUTS from morning through evening; however, we don't cruise to see movies - we want to do things we can't do at home. The band Unison was excellent & played poolside & in the lounges in the evening. There never was a "DECK" party on this cruise & we were disappointed.
Crew - Room stewardess was excellent & also the cruise director as I mentioned previously, but the remainder of the crew was just average. An exception was the Internet manager, Andrei Vison, who spent his time reading his email & not helping pax. One lady told me she needed help & he refused to assist unless it was in the evening (7-9 pm) & she said she would either be getting ready for dinner or eating & could not go to the internet cafe at that time. I also, as a courtesy, spoke w/Andrei regarding one computer that was "hung" (not functioning at all) & suggested he reboot it, but his reply was he would see about it the next day & he continued to read his email. On the last day, the printer malfunctioned & although we had sent some things to the print queue, we never did get them as the printer was not fixed, nor a back-up installed.
Excursions - Some of the ports we visited were apparently only frequented once or twice annually (during the transatlantic cruises) as we had difficulty with local companies; however, Princess did issue partial refunds. Won't go into details due to infrequency of the ports.
Summary - Due to lack of interested activities (& loss of news transmission during TA crossings - no satellite reception), we were actually bored for the first week, but definitely got plenty of rest. We also were unhappy with the general "lack of interest" the crew seem to have. Perhaps this is largely due to the automatic tipping applied to room charges & I don't have a solution for this. We are used to having the crew anticipate our needs & desires and the service to be superb; hence, we were disappointed. Unless Princess is the only line with a particular itinerary we are interested in, we will probably sail with another cruise line. Less

How do you even know that people are allowed to go in to the summoning dimension? What if there is some sort of a restriction that rejects it, some unwritten rule? Yes, I do realize everything I have said here is just as much speculating and assuming as you have done.
However, it just doesn't make sense, why Suigetsu would say "Space Jutsu" specifically, and both Karin and Suigetsu refereed it to as "You were flying". Yes while the translation's might be bull shit, most likely its probably not. I guess we will see when the raw is presented and we have translations from people @ NF and MH.

^ Doesn't Gamabunta say to Gamakichi something like "let's go home" after the Gaara fight?...Suggesting they have their own dimension. Also, that stupid little frog (Gamatatsu was it?) that Naruto summons later on says it's his first time being summoned. If they don't exist anywhere else, he wouldn't really say something like that since he wouldn't know anything at all.

Also there might be restrictions against such things, because if this was possible and people or things could go back to the summoning dimension simply by being inside the summoned animal, I think it would have been done a while ago, by other people who are able to summon like the Sannin, like Orochimaru. Also the fact that Suigetsu and Karin clearly mentions it as a Jutsu, and a calls it "Flying" (which Sabaku Kyu is arguing could be a translation mistake). I doubt it.

But right back at you; how can you assume that Sasuke's supposed space justu would teleport objects other than himself?

Also, I'm not completely rejecting the possibility, but if this was possible how can you explain past shinobi not doing this to find a whole new "world" "dimension" "power" or "summons" especially some one like Orochimaru considering he is the "mad scientist" with all his experiments to gain power.

I guess the ability Sasuke was referring to when Deidara asked what he would've done if the land-mine his sword was on blew up anyway was this "space jutsu".

i think kishi used this arc to introduce space jutsu and also the strong power of sharingan.
it might that we will see naruto unleash a fifth tail and probably sixth if he is to be attacked by such a large number of akatsuki. the fifth tail might just bringg about space tme abilities in naruto while the sixth tail might provide kyubi naruto with the power of genjutsu that surpases MS sharingan and also due to the poisinig of the atmosphere caused by kyubis power the closer u are in that vicinity the more u are likely to suffer severe poisoning of mind and body. we all know tha when tayuya of sound four it powered up her CS2 she gained goon genjutsu abilities not just huge strength. so it means that sometimes a power up does not just increase ones speed and strength but also can enable one achieve quite new potential abilities.
kishi seems to be focusing on the eyes i.e sasukes red sharigan eyes and narutos red eyes ever since the begining of shippuden naruto has been using those red eyes in every battle. naruto has been told repeatedly not to rely on kyubis chakara that he has enough power on his own yet why is it that kishi lets him (naruto) use THOSE EYES in all his shippuden battles. if u noticed when naruto used the red chakara to fight neji, his (naruto) eyes were normal even while using a huge amount of kyubis power. u wuold expect for such a large power of kyubi that naruto used there his eyes would have turned red then. so it means that naruto molds a considerably large amount of kyubis power transfers it to his eyes probably unconsiously. i want to know if such power been used in narutos eyes as some people might it is then why does naruto prefer it in battle? or is it that jiraiya during the training noticed that there seem to be a good difference somehow in naruto while training and ecouraged him to use it most of the time to get used to it. but then again we know that naruto does not realy notice such things or differeces caused by the enhaced eyes until probably he is told about it just like the way it was with the kage bunshi kishi focused on for years. naruto did not know about the other power of KB until he was told by kakashi now it looks like naruto might be getting a few pointers by the one who developed his MS sharingan (kakashi) on how to use THOSE EYES effectively. kishi would not be letting naruto use the red eyes alone without kyubis chakara surounding or domnating his own without some good or special reason behind it.
whats up with the AL saying the machine is ripened and that its mind is made up. how on earth is the machines mind made up?

If you compare all the arcs, all the fights before, with this one, there is nothing more stupidly created than this one. And, I have to admit it, this fight is worse than even Oro-Sasuke fight. I do not even want to imagine the level of stupidness we have to bear in Itachi's real fights, and his fight with Sasuke.

Time for a Gaming Backlog Report!!
Of the 8 games I want to finish as soon as possible, I've made progress with really only one as of late. That is Goldeneye of course! I'm nearly finished with the game which is great but... since I only played on Agent difficulty I really wanna go back and play the next difficulty level. Because to be fair, the bonus objectives make this game so much better to me. I enjoy doing all the sneaky spy things and this game is full of them. Soooo I may just end up playing the game again before moving on to other games, which will slow me down on the game I need to beat but hey, I'm having fun so that's just fine. Getting my moneys worth right? And although I have 8 games to finish, I am 3/4's the way through Kirby which is an easy game, and Sin & Punishment 2 will be another easy one to finish. (I think) Oh and Super Mario All-Stars, I've technically beaten most of it in the past. The Lost Levels is actually the only part I've never played. So really I'm farther in my Backlog than it sounds. All I can say is "Gotta keep on gaming!"
Now on to the Demos! I'm gonna check out Fluidity soon. It looks pretty cool. Not sure if it's worth $12 but that's what Demos are for!! I hope Nintendo keeps this program strong, and I really hope that if Nintendo has no plans to release a new console within the next few years than it should at least update the Wii Menu/Shop/Nintendo channel. If they like updated their online presence and just did things that made sense I'd love my Wii all that more. We'll see though. Alright back to games!

When your grandson was sentenced, he should have received paperwork that detailed the terms of his sentence. Hopefully he kept the paperwork. If so, he should check the paperwork for any conditions regarding travel, such as leaving the state or country.
If his papers say nothing about travel restrictions, and the PO didn't forbid it, then he should be free to go. While I would never advise someone to potentially commit a crime, the quick nature of the trip makes it extremely unlikely his PO would ever even know he had left.
I hope my information proved helpful. If so, please click the green ACCEPT so that I may receive credit for my efforts.

Cemetery Boundaries
The subject urged on me by your committee to write about, namely, Boundaries, I had tile great kindness, but poor judgment to consent. In fact, I had supposed that papers on every conceivable subject connected with cemeteries had already been read at our annual conventions.
That I dislike boundaries of any kind and have all along urged their discontinuance, both in cemeteries and outside between neighbors and estates and indeed our association takes a just pride in what has been accomplished in this line, so that it seems a step backward to discuss walls, iron or wooden fences, hedges, etc.; that they are a necessity, rather than a thing of beauty, is my excuse for boring you with this paper.
That every cemetery has its boundaries of more or less extent, and to enclose or protect this property entails an enormous expense and very often a corresponding amount of ugliness. Expediency and the carpenter, or wooden fences, are too much in evidence around cemeteries, and Swan Point is no exception. But we have made a beginning and hope to replace these gradually with stone walls of such material as our grounds furnish. Comment or criticism on such walls varies, some think that they are simply "outlandish," while others say that they are a "thing of beauty and a joy forever;" but then the latter never had any connection with a cemetery or ever built any stone walls, so it would be presumptuous in me to tell every cemetery what is the best or proper, screen or fence, but I will honestly speak my mind (which you are already painfully aware of) and discuss the matter so that each of us may learn something that he may utilize in his section of the country according to his means.
In this connection 1 am concerned more with the planting or embellishing of boundaries, both outside and inside, than I am with any ostentatious architecture, or extravagant outlay, costly carving, or so much stone work in parks or cemeteries, and then covering the same with Wisteria, Woodbine, etc., has too much of the "Landscape Architect," who no longer advertises under the old-fashioned title of "Landscape Gardener."
I presume that all will admit that stone, either plain or elaborate, is the most natural and enduring material for boundaries, if beautiful in design or workmanship; covering with vines or climbers would not seem to be advisable. If the material is native to the place or vicinity, and no great outlay has been expended on its design or cutting or fitting, such walls, or at least a great portion of them, had better be covered. In fact, they offer an opportunity of growing a class of plants not often seen to advantage, like Euonymus or Ivy, that retain their foliage all winter. The beautiful, but uncovered wall will grow dingy and deteriorate with time, while the homely, but dressed or covered wall will grow more beautiful with age, and if planted on top and inside it will harmonize with the planting and the country, and nature will eventually adopt it as her own, for "age can not wither nor custom stale its infinite variety".
Another common and often expensive boundary is a low wall capped with iron, generally of beautiful and elaborate design. This it seems unnecessary to cover with vines, besides the iron will frequently need painting. I must confess that no matter what these materials, I should prefer to see them dressed with vines outside and shrubs and evergreens inside. Of course, I could not recommend wood or picket fences and presume that they are used only as temporary protection. Iron is cheap; it will last much longer, and cover it so that it cannot be painted. It will last long enough "and the more Wisterias and Bignonias trained on it" the stronger it will be and its defects, if it meets any, will be concealed.
In my own city there is a large cemetery, bounded with two prominent streets, with electric car lines, etc.; on the sidewalk a few trees are planted, while inside the very high and strong picket fence very little or no planting bas been done. So that the whole ground, with its daily interments and funeral services, are in full view of passengers and a thickly settled population. Surely this is not just to the dead or to the friends that visit their graves, nor is it pleasing to those who daily have to pass by this extensive territory. Respect for both would suggest that such boundaries should be thickly planted. I believe, however, that few cemeteries are thus exposed.
How to remedy or improve boundaries like the above is a subject for discussion, so I will venture to suggest that where a cemetery fronts on a highway for some length, which is often the case, and there are no abettors to consult and the sidewalk is narrow, say 8 feet, I would set the fence or wall back 2 or 3 feet. This would give a strip of grass and allow of planting and give more room to those using the sidewalk.
I see that it is a general custom in many cemeteries to locate the poor lots or single graves "next or near the boundaries" and often without sufficient space for planting or concealing them from the public view, and as a main avenue generally follows the boundaries of a cemetery, "such lots or graves to my mind have a very conspicuous location and it seems to me that such lots concentrated in groups in other parts of the cemetery would not be so conspicuous or any reflection on the poor, while the location mentioned could be made the most beautiful and highest priced land in the cemetery. This is what we are trying to do in Swan Point, minus the high price and such trifling matters, which are so slow to materialize, and so perhaps I had better try to explain how we propose to treat our boundaries. I don't expect to tell you anything new or to consider my views a plea "for progress" or even a cure for Insomnia, but having some eight or nine thousand feet of such boundaries to construct eventually I naturally feel interested and rely on your advice and sympathy.
As you are probably aware our great crops in Rhode Island are clams and rocks, the latter Swan Point has in abundance, and they have to be dug out of the ground at great expense before it is available for burial purposes. Hence their use for our boundaries or walls. It is not likely that any two men would build such walls the same, and I guess I am one of the two; with any other screen or fence one would not have such latitude or even variety.
These walls are 6 feet at the bottom and a little narrower on top; width is necessary, as you can use any large boulders and not have them rest on any earth or filling back of the wall. They are between 4 and 5 feet high, so as to admit of seeing the planting inside. I don't think any higher wall would look well or be any extra protection, because people bent on mischief would scale them, although it might put them to a little more trouble. No cement is used; the joints or crevices are filled with mossy turf from the woods. Euonymous-Radicans, from its hardiness and permanent foliage all the year, is planted. At long intervals in prominent position Ampelopsis Englemanii is used, especially on top, "where it is allowed to have its own way," the Euonymus covering its bare stems during winter on the wall proper. Ampelopsis Veitchii, I think, covers too much, and being deciduous has little beauty all winter.
The strip of land inside, varying in width from 15 to 25 feet more or less is filled or raised as high or a little higher than the wall so as to show the planting from the highway. On the cemetery side we shall have no railroad banks or grades, but such elevations and depressions even if we have to create them as the extent or contours of the ground may suggest. "Evergreens, Rhododendrons, etc., planted here must make a beautiful background, (so difficult or seldom obtained) to a range of lots in place of single graves, and would not this land sell for a sufficiently higher price as would offset any extravagance in the waste land or any outlay in planting same not to mention the beauty and seclusion secured to the cemetery, while the wooded and natural plantation as seen from the "highway" would be appreciated by the public.
How the strip of land referred to should be planted would almost require a separate paper, suffice it to say that the more wild or natural native material the more pleasing the results. Belt of shrubs and evergreens of various heights and character in fact, a perfect tangle as in a state of nature where Clematis, Honeysuckles, Woodbines and other vines could mingle with the loftier and stronger shrubs and trees. Hydrangeas, Lilacs, Snowballs, Rhododendrons, Double Roses, etc., are too cultivated and unsuited to plant next to the highway. Single varieties of many of these, like our native Single Roses, the Japanese Roses, Multiflora, Wichuraiana and our own beautiful Michigan Rose (Setigena) would be more appropriate. I merely mention a few of these things to stimulate thought in the ever fascinating and important part of our occupation.

Anna Torv Flaunts a Bit of Belly at the Critics' Choice Television Awards (PHOTOS)
Though she's facing some stiff competition when it comes to award nominees at the Critics' Choice Television Awards on Monday Afternoon, Anna Torv showed some other leading ladies a thing or two about turning heads on the red carpet.
Torv looked lovely and a tiny bit racy as she made a grand entrance in a pastel blue strapless dress that bared a tiny bit of her belly thanks to a carefully-placed diagonal slit. Standing tall and proud, the Fringe beauty posed solo and also with her co-star, John Noble.
Torv is currently single after splitting from her husband (and Fringe co-star) Mark Valley in April of last year.
Anna is nominated for a CCTA in the Best Actress in a Drama Series category. She's up against Connie Britton, Elisabeth Moss, Katey Sagal, Julianne Margulies and Mireille Enos.

I'm looking at one with the 52" deck, 23hp kohler v-twin, I can get it for right at $6300. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. I will be mowing a medium sized subdivision, 4 or 5 yards, and a 3 acre lot to start, not to mention the other business that I will drum up when I get my new mower, whichever brand I choose. How do ya'll think that this mower compares to similar brands/models?

(CNSNews.com) - Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party's nominee for the US Senate seat from New York to be vacated later this year by retiring Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, was interviewed for this week's issue of a publication by the UJA Federation of New York and has committed to march through the Big Apple in the Israel Day Parade on June 4th. However, writer Eli Lake of the weekly Jewish publication, the Forward, reports that Clinton is raising tens of thousands of dollars for her campaign from associates of Palestinian Authority Chief Yasser Arafat while courting Jewish voters in the Empire State.
Lake writes that on May 12th, Clinton attended a private fundraising reception at the Washington mansion of Hani Masri, a close associate of Arafat, reportedly raising more than $50,000. The event was not listed on Clinton's public schedule and was closed to the press.
One week later, on May 19th, the same day Mayor Rudy Giuliani dramatically announced his withdrawal from the Senate race, Clinton attended another fundraiser in Virginia at the home of Rafat "Ray" Mahmood. Her host is a Pakistani-American real estate developer who was in Islamabad during President Clinton's visit to Pakistan earlier this year.
The Mahmood reception, again not listed on Clinton's public schedule and closed to the press, raised a reported $70,000 for her US Senate campaign in New York State.
Mahmood told Lake that he supports Democrats and has no views on foreign policy other than that he supports peace. He said he had been in Pakistan on a family vacation that coincided with President Clinton's visit.
Masri told the Forward that, "both Bill and Hillary have done a great job. The president has done a great job in his foreign efforts."
Masri added that the President and the First Lady's leadership gives Israelis and Palestinian Arabs "hope to come to a peaceful settlement. For that reason, I'm supporting the First Lady," Masri said.
Masri told Lake that he was asked by Mrs. Clinton's campaign to host the fundraiser and that he complied. The event reportedly drew more than 60 people.
Lake's article indicates that Clinton's recent fund raising events are raising concerns among some Middle East analysts, Jewish leaders and advocates of campaign finance reform.
Lake writes that no impropriety is being implicated in these events, but questions are being raised about Clinton's political judgment and about the stance she would take on Middle East issues if elected to the Senate.
"This is part of the problem with Hillary Clinton. She just doesn't get it. She doesn't understand why many of us have this major problem with her positions. What can I tell you? These are exactly the kinds of things she needs to explain, and they are almost unexplainable," said Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn.
The president of the Middle East Media Research Institute, Yigal Carmon, said of Mr. Masri: "I am not sure this is the best ally a candidate for the US Senate should choose," especially for someone running in New York, with its substantial number of Jewish voters, the Lake article in the Forward reported.
"Unfortunately, this is par for the course," said Jeffrey Cronin, the spokesman for Common Cause, a campaign finance watchdog group, of Hillary Clinton's fundraising activities. "The problem with our current campaign finance system is that this creates the appearance that you have to donate or raise large sums of money to get access and influence with elected officials."
Repeated telephone inquiries by CNSNews.com for comments from officials at the Hillary Clinton campaign headquarters in New York were not returned.

She's always up for a good time, and last night (January 8) Lena Dunham paid a visit to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" for some serious fun.
Gearing up for another crazy estrogen-fueled adventure, the cast of "Girls" gathered at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City on Monday night (January 5).
Everyone seems to have an opinion of Lena Dunham these days, and the controversial actress/author just landed on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Elle magazine.
She's grown accustomed to public scrutiny, but when multiple media outlets called foul on her claim that she was raped at Oberlin College by a "Republican named Barry," Lena Dunham couldn't stay quiet.
It's going to be an exciting New Year, as "Girls" is poised to make a big return on January 11th, 2015. And to keep the hype building, HBO has just unveiled a new preview trailer that's as inspiring as it is dramatic.
The sixty-second clip establishes that Season 4 will continue along the same lines as previous storylines, including plenty of relationship dynamics. It seems Marnie is dating a musician, Shoshanna is still pining for Ray and Hannah is all about planning her future with Adam.
Stirring up some serious excitement, HBO has just released a new teaser trailer for the forthcoming fourth season of "Girls."
In the clip, Hannah Horvath ( Lena Dunham) has traveled to Iowa for a writer's workshop in hopes of overcoming her writer's block.
It's been a pretty rough week for Lena Dunham as she's attempted to promote her new book "Not That Kind of Girl" overseas.
Following a report from the Truth Report website that alleged the "Girls" actress molested her younger sister Grace years ago, Lena's legal team is taking action.
She's no stranger to controversy, but Lena Dunham is adamant that people know that she never did anything sexually harmful to her little sister Grace.
The "Girls" actress has been under fire after a conservative blog took issue with portions of her new book "Not That Kind Of Girl" in which she recounted being curious about the female body and looking at her sibling's private parts.

The First Monday in October
Monday October 5th (the first Monday in October) is the start of the new term of the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court website provides information about the history of the court, its members, oral argument calendar and slip opinions.
Last week the U.S. Postal Service issued a series of commemorative stamps honoring four U.S. Supreme Court Justices: Joseph Story, Louis D. Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter and William J. Brennan Jr.
The U.S. Postal Service press release provides the following information about the honored justices:
Joseph Story (1779-1845)
Joseph Story ranks as one of the nation's most influential jurists. The author of dozens of volumes of legal commentary, Story, who viewed law as a science, gave shape to American jurisprudence while also making the law more accessible to practicing attorneys. His devotion to the uniform enforcement of federal regulations by all the states helped establish the preeminence of the Supreme Court.
Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941)
Louis Brandeis was the associate justice most responsible for helping the Supreme Court shape the tools it needed to interpret the Constitution in light of the sociological and economic conditions of the 20th century. "If we would guide by the light of reason," he once exhorted his colleagues, "we must let our minds be bold." A progressive and champion of reform, Brandeis devoted his life to social justice.
Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965)
Felix Frankfurter was arguably one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures ever to sit on the Supreme Court. As the Court's strongest proponent of judicial restraint, Frankfurter, who served 23 years as an associate justice, believed that judges should disregard their own social views when making decisions. "History teaches," he wrote, "that the independence of the judiciary is jeopardized when courts become embroiled in the passions of the day."
William J. Brennan Jr. (1906-1997)
William J. Brennan Jr. was the author of numerous landmark decisions and the inspiration behind many others. He believed that law is an essential force for social and political change. The Court's most determined opponent of the death penalty, he championed equal rights for all citizens and steadfastly regarded the Constitution as a living document that should be interpreted to fit modern life.

But, in keeping with her disappearing acts throughout the ad (Knightley eludes her potential suitor to the tune of Brit band The Zombies' "She's Not There"), the reverse cat-eye itself is, admittedly, somewhat elusive as well. From some angles, it's obvious she's sporting this upside-down look, but then, Knightley dips or dodges in a different direction, and we're not 100% sure anymore. "Nobody can quite capture her; so she is kind of there, but she is sort of playing with them," the actress says of her starring role. "And, then she gets on a speed boat! What more can you ask for?"
The mischievous nature of the ad (and that sneaky liner) is nothing if not appropriate for the scent in question: Coco Mademoiselle, in all its fresh, oriental-scented goodness, is one of our favorites. It smells different yet equally great on almost everybody. But, since we'd never dare question the magic that is Chanel, maybe some mysteries really are better left unsolved.

Setting the standard in Saigon sushi
Setting the standard in Saigon sushi
2 Le Thanh Ton, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
Situated on the busy intersection of Le Thanh Ton and Ton Duc Thang, The Sushi Bar has been the standard by which all other Saigon sushi is measured. Open since 1999, the consistent quality delivered by the Sushi Bar has made it a favourite among locals, expats and tourists alike.
Stepping inside the large restaurant, you will immediately see that they take their name very literally. You'll first be greeted by a massive bar, which surrounds the kitchen and occupies most of the space downstairs. The bar keeps things fun and lively downstairs, though it's not necessarily quiet. If you're looking for a more peaceful setting, head upstairs where two private rooms and plenty of other tables await. Everything inside gives off a modern Japanese vibe; the lights are generally bright but all the furniture and tables are dark wood, making for a pleasing contrast.
While the atmosphere and decor are great, Sushi Bar is popular thanks to its sushi-heavy menu. It has most anything you could hope for, from rolls and sashimi to tempura and bento boxes. They pride themselves on the freshness of their seafood at the Sushi Bar and it shows in their plates. While you can go for specific, individual rolls, most of which will fall in the 30,000 to 100,000 VND range, the set menus are probably the best bang for your buck. Lunch is an especially good time if you're looking for good deals on set menus, with most sets starting at around 85,000 VND.
Sometimes it's the little things that help a restaurant stand out, and this is the case at the Sushi Bar. Every time you sit down for a meal you're given a cold washcloth (instead of a wet-wipe), and a small appetiser, which changes day-to-day. The staff are consistently cheerful. My one gripe would be that during busier times of the day like lunch, the food can be a little slow coming to your table — not ridiculously slow, but slow enough where the thought that they potentially forgot about your order flashes through your head.
The Sushi Bar is a popular spot — so popular that it has expanded to six locations throughout the city. The popularity can create wait times for tables, though this is more of a problem at the Le Thanh Ton Sushi Bar. If you're having trouble getting a seat you could venture down the road, about a 15-minute walk past Ben Thanh market, until you hit the Sushi Bar's chief competitor, Tokyo Deli. Another chain with multiple locations, at Tokyo Deli you'll find a more sterile environment and slightly cheaper prices.
If you're in the mood for a different Japanese culinary experience, you're only a short walk to Pizza 4P's, Saigon's foremost Japanese pizza parlour. If you'd rather sample food from a different region in Asia, Monsoon, a 10-minute taxi ride away, has Southeast Asia covered.

Budget plan
Sun archives
CARSON CITY – County hospitals could close, the state could receive $14 million in federal sanctions and rural Nevadans could be left without mental health treatment, according to a grim assessment of Gov. Jim Gibbons' social services budget delivered Friday.
The State Department of Health and Human Services would receive a 4 percent funding increase, but the state is seeing an increase in demand for services from low income families, said department Director Mike Willden, who outlined the $2 billion budget for the legislative budget committees.
Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, noted that in this budget there would be an additional 5 percent reduction to Medicaid reimbursements to hospitals to care of indigent people. There has already been a 5 percent cut.
Buckley said the reductions could cause hospitals to close, leave abused children without treatment and eliminate surgeries for children with heart problems.
"The system is collapsing," Buckley said.
The state is also stripping a $55 million indigent accident fund that pays the hospitals mostly for those low income people injured in auto accidents.
Willden told the committees that the $55 million will be moved to the Medicaid program to qualify for an additional $60 million in federal funds. He said the Medicaid program would lose $110 million if the indigent accident fund is not tapped.
Assemblyman Pete Goicoechea, R-Elko, said the cost of caring for accident victims will fall to the counties. Counties and cities are also getting hit financially in other areas as the state tries to deal with its budget shortfall.
The state Division of Welfare and Supportive Services could be penalized by the federal government for failing to meet the standards in handling cases within a deadline. Romaine Gilliland, administrator of the division, said there was a potential of $14 million in sanctions from the federal government. But he said a $5 million penalty would be more likely.
The welfare numbers are expected to go up 40 percent as the poor state and national economies continue.
Federal inspectors this month were at the Flamingo Road welfare office in Las Vegas and the waiting line was three hours.
"We're being watched by the federal government," Gilliland told the Senate Finance Committee and the Assembly Ways and Means Committee.
The federal government wants 95 percent of welfare applications processed within 45 days, he said. The state now is at 85 percent.
The welfare budget calls for hiring 400 more workers to handle the increased caseload. It provides $10.8 million to create an electronic system for people to apply for welfare assistance.
Buckley questioned whether there were innovations that might eliminate the need to hire an additional 400 workers. She said once the economy improves those extra workers might not be needed.
There will also be major cuts to the budget of the state Division Mental Health and Developmental Services, calling for the closure of 11 mental health clinics in rural Nevada and reducing the staff at the Rawson-Neal mental hospital in Las Vegas.
Shutting down 11 of the 21 clinics in rural Nevada will "completely destroy" the system in the counties outside Clark and Washoe, said Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie, D-Reno. She said the individuals in need of treatment will not travel to other cities with clinics and "they will end up in local jails and prison."
"This is completely unacceptable," Leslie told Division Administrator Harold Cook.
He said the division is talking about transporting these patients to other cities or hiring private psychiatrists in the rural areas.
Cook told the committees the staff at the Las Vegas hospital will be reduced by 96 employees. He added, "I'm comfortable we still will be able to maintain quality service."
At the Las Vegas hospital, the ratio is 2.4 full time employees per bed. A survey of private and public hospital in the West show the range was 1.2 full time employees to 2.1 employees to a mental health bed.
With the cut, the ration would be 2.1 employees per bed, still among the highest in the West, Cook said.
The mental health clinic in North Las Vegas was closed last year because of a lease dispute but there was a plan to reopen it at another location. Cook said with the budget cuts, the North Las Vegas clinic will be permanently closed.
The division opened a clinic in downtown Las Vegas which is only about one mile from the former North Las Vegas clinic, Cook said. And the majority of the clients went there and to other clinics in Clark County.
"With this budget, mental health is going backwards," Leslie said.
