John Tortorella:
"We did a lot of good things. Fluky goals and we weren't able to overcome it. I thought we were, even when we were down 4-3. I still thought we were going to come back, but we weren't able to get it done tonight. As I said, I like the team. They just keep on playing and they play hard. We struggled in certain minutes of the game, but they just kept on fighting back."
"We had a great start. We had a really good start, then they score a piece-of-crap of a goal off of, I think it hit Artie's stick. But that's the way it works. Hey, we've scored a few of those along the way. Again, as I always say, approach your team the next day — which will be in five or six days — on how they're playing. I still liked a lot of things that went on in tonight's game."
He was asked, How do you approach a long layoff?
"How do I approach a long layoff? That's just a dumb question."
On Boyle and Stepan's scoring:
"Our way of succeeding is everybody's chipped in. I don't think Brian was dead-on tonight, but he made some big plays at key times, and Step scores another one. Everybody contributes and that's what, I think, brings our team close together. There's no one guy that carries us. I think everybody feels good about that.
"You have to (expect scoring from those guys now). And they do, too. They need to accept the responsibility. When they see that they get to a level of play at a pretty consistent manner, they have to continue to stay there and also get better. I think that's what happened with a number of our young guys, and Brian's leading the way as he continues to try to get better. That's what I like about the club. The foundation continues to mature, continues to try to get better. They've got the right attitude as far as trying to get better each and every night."
On Del Zotto:
"Michael played well. Michael played well. I know there was one play there in the third period, I think he was a little nervous where there was a quick 2-on-1 around the net, you could tell he was a little nervous (Tortorella smiled). But I like the way he's handled himself off the ice and he has stayed within himself on the ice. There were some mistakes, but everybody makes mistakes. He's going through the process and I think it's good for him, and eventually he'll get it the right way."
On the five going to Connecticut:
"They have two games to play before they break, so we want them to go and play, and this isn't a negative thing on any of them. I just met with them, and for me it's been rewarding to see them play through the situation we've gone through with injuries and to me it just enhances, as far as some of the things that we have there, that I think will improve and eventually help this club. And that could be maybe long-term for some guys, maybe shorter term for other guys."
On Zuccarello (three assists):
"Yeah, he made some really good plays tonight as far as passing, some plays that I don't think some guys could see. He's really concentrating on the other part of the game, the defensive part of the game, and we can talk about his shootouts and he has brought a lot to the club. And he continues to improve. Again, the thing I love about him, he thinks he belongs here. He knows he's a good player and that's a pretty refreshing thing to see in a guy coming from another country, coming over. It's refreshing to see that."
"There's so many things we have to look at, I don't want to get too far ahead. He's not going down with those other guys to play. He's played a lot of hockey for us, so right now he's earned the break here. And then we'll make our decisions as we see who's healthy when we get back."
I asked him about the five games in seven nights, which could have been a breaking point:
"Yeah, yeah. You get greedy. You need to get greedy. You wanted to win (tonight). I thought we were going to squeeze out a point tonight. I thought we played well enough to squeeze out a point. But, then maybe tomorrow I'll sit down and say, 'You know what? We won some games there, maybe, that we didn't deserve.' It all evens out. But it would have been nice to go 4-1 instead of 3-2, but in my mind coming in here, I just wanted us not to give and we didn't give. We talked about that between the second and third periods, that some teams may say, 'You know what? We won two road games, it's not going our way tonight,' and you just give in a little bit. The thing I loved about our club, we didn't, and hopefully that keeps resonating within our group and I think that will take us where we want to be, I'm hoping."
He had the scoring chances 15-9 in Rangers favor, despite the shot totals (35-17 overall, 11-1 in the third):
"I thought the first half of the game, Vokoun was seeing too many pucks. I thought we got better as the game went on. I thought we defended well. There were some fluky goals. The second one's a kick in the … a kick in the teeth. That's a tough one there. That changed the momentum. Then we grab it back and they scored a couple of fluky ones. You've got to eat it, and we'll get ready to start up again when we start practice (Jan. 31)."
On whether it's a good time for a break, even though the team is playing well:
"For our team? Yeah. We're beat up. The guys that are playing are beat up. They're beat up for the right reason. They should feel good about themselves. We always talk about that. If you play the right way, and you may not be able to practice the next day, you need some time off, you need to feel good about that because you're playing the right way. I think for the first 52 games here, we're pretty much there, as far as trying to play the right way. We've made a lot of mistakes along the way and had some ups and downs. But I think the mindset, in how we have to play, has been there pretty consistently."
"As a coach, your're always looking … this was one we all wanted to win. And we crawled back into it and I thought we had an opportunity to not only get a point, but also win it. I'm a little frustrated now about that, but I feel good about our club, especially with what we've gone through here, in really being decimated with injuries. I go back, I got a chance to see kids play, where I wouldn't have had a chance to see, and I've seen them produce. So that's really good for our organization, not only short-term but also long-term."
Asked about the message he will leave with the team during or after the break:
"The message has already been sent. The message has already been sent. I think after the Carolina game, where we got sloppy defensively, I think we got our message, our point across right after that game about how we have to play, and that's defending first, and everything comes off of that. And I think we've done a pretty good job of it since that Carolina game."
On the last five games, if a goal had been set:
"No. I just wanted us, as I said, not to whine about injuries or use it as an excuse, but to try to go the other way with it, and I saw our team do that. And we win three out of the five. So, we'll take those points and try to build off of that as we start up in a few days here."

The first night includes acts from Real Vintage including crooner Karl Stokes, there will be 30s and 40s classics from female soloist Memphis Belle, harmonies from duo Scarlet Swing and 1940s songstresses The Land Girls complete with authentic costumes and choreography.

Six men have been jailed for a string of frauds and distraction burglaries, which conned elderly people of amounts as large as £40,000, across St Albans and Watford.
The defendants were sentenced to a combined total of over 19 years imprisonment after being found guilty of conspiring to commit fraud at St Albans Crown Court on Tuesday, December 4, and were sentenced on December 6.
Scott England, 23, from Oxhey Drive, South Oxhey, was sentenced to ten months for fraud and John Chapman, aged 24, and from Hilfield Lane, Aldenham was sentenced to three years for fraud and one year for money laundering.
The other four were Noel Devlin, 21 of Baring Road, London, who was sentenced to three years for fraud and one year for burglary; Hughie Devlin, 19, from Baring Road, London who was sentenced to two and a half years for fraud and one year for money laundering; Stephen Saville, 24, from Borehamwood who was sentenced to 15 months for fraud and Jimmy Devlin, 43, from Broxbourne Drive, South Ockendon.
Delvin failed to appear at court for sentencing and was sentenced to six years for fraud and one year for burglary in his absence.
The group was brought to justice by specialist detectives from Hertfordshire Constabulary's team, Operation Manhunt.
The unit investigated a series of distraction burglaries and high value frauds against elderly and vulnerable victims between December 2010 and August 2011. The incidents spanned across St Albans, Bushey and Watford.
The gang gained access to their victims' properties by saying they needed to check the damp problem from next door and while inside they would distract the victim and then search their house, stealing their cash and other belongings.
The team also conned victims into parting with large amounts of cash after building work was carried out at their homes. After doing the work and charging an inflated price they would increase the amount owed by claiming VAT needed to be added and saying the work had to be rectified.
In one incident in Bushey, the resident parted with about £40,000 after some sub-standard building work for which he originally paid around £20,000.
Hughie Devlin, John Chapman and Scott England were eventually arrested attempting to obtain £5,000 from a victim in Bushey in August 2011. The remaining three were arrested during a series of warrants in October.
Talking about the case, DC Rachael Gallagher from Operation Manhunt, said: "I'm really pleased with the sentencing. These six systematically targeted the elderly, obtained large sums of their life savings, using trickery and intimidation.
"People who prey on the elderly in this way are amongst the most despicable individuals in our society. I would urge people to look out for their elderly relatives and neighbours to ensure they don't become victim to this crime. Just follow simple steps such as not opening the door to unknown callers. This will deny criminals the opportunity to dupe you into having work done or gaining access to your house to commit burglary."
Police are appealing for information of the whereabouts of Jimmy Devlin.
If anyone has information of his whereabouts they are asked to contact Hertfordshire Constabulary via the non-emergency number 101, as soon as possible.

AN inspection at Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has revealed it has met all care standards — just months after concerns were raised about its performance.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection comes after a similar review in August revealed two care standards out of 10 reviewed were not being met.
"Moderate" concerns were raised regarding the Trust's co-operation with other providers when discharging patients, as they believed there were gaps.
A minor concern about management of medicines — particularly for patients who were self-medicating — was also noted.
But following the second inspection on November 7, the Trust has been found to be compliant with both care standards.
The CQC report noted it was satisfied with a reviewed medicines policy that was being rolled out and said they were happy with the way the Trust was working with other providers in a "timely manner" regarding patient discharge. In August's inspection, the CQC discovered patient's beds were stripped and belongings were packed up once the decision to discharge them was made. This has been changed to allow patients to stay in their beds until their ambulance or other transport arrived.
November's inspection revealed multidisciplinary meetings had been introduced, local care home owners had been invited to discuss concerns and staff were working closely with external agencies, such as social services and care homes.
Dee Sissons, director of patient experience and safety/chief nurse, said: "Our staff have worked really hard making sure we meet these quality standards and I'm delighted that the CQC inspectors heard so many positive comments both from staff and patients."
Dr Wirin Bhatiani, chairman of Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group, added: "Despite the recent challenges the Trust has faced, it is good to see it is making improvements in the areas identified by the CQC, and are now meeting these important standards."
Cllr Andy Morgan said: "Congratulations must go to all the staff on the front line delivering the service. Let's hope the staffing levels and resources are maintained to allow these improvements continue moving forward".

THE total cost of policing the badger cull pilot has been confirmed as nearly £2.5m across Somerset and Gloucestershire.
Avon and Somerset Police's chief constable, Nick Gargan tweeted today (January 14) that the costs came to £738,985 for the full nine weeks.
The government pilot aimed to kill 70% of the badger population in each county to test how effective, humane and safe a cull could be.
It was an attempt to curb bovine TB in cattle, which saw 38,000 cattle slaughtered in Great Britain in 2012.
The cull in Somerset was supposed to last six weeks but it was extended further after marksmen failed to meet their targets of killing 70% of the badger population.
However, even the extension failed to meet the target leaving many of those opposing the cull branding it as a failure.
Mr Gargan originally said that he would release the figures on Friday.
In Gloucestershire, it was revealed that the cost came to around £1.7m.
It works out at around £1,377 per badger of which 1,771 were killed by marksmen across the cull.
DEFRA will refund the money to the police forces.
Last week, animal charity Care for the Wild released figures revealing revealed that the badger cull cost more than £7million.
They said that £2.6m of that was spent policing the cull.
A Defra spokesperson said: "The costs of the badger cull pilots will be vastly outweighed by the impact that bovine TB is having on our farming industry and taxpayers.
"Each bovine TB cattle outbreak costs an average £34,000, and if left unchecked this disease will cost the taxpayer £1billion over the next 10 years.
"We are working on new cattle and oral badger vaccines but they are years away from being ready and we cannot wait while this terrible disease spreads."
Avon and Somerset Police are set to reveal a statement about the cull later today or tomorrow.

The Australian and New Zealand dollars took a break against the greenback on Friday following recent hefty gains but held near four-year peaks on the yen, with investors focused on upcoming US jobs data.
The Aussie eased back to $US1.0439, from $US1.0463 early and an overnight peak of $US1.0526, the highest since December 19. The New Zealand dollar slipped 0.4 per cent on the day to $US0.8245.
The Antipodean currencies fell prey to a broadly stronger US counterpart after minutes from the US Federal Reserve policy meeting revealed some members wanted to slow asset purchases earlier than previously thought.
"The dollar is stronger pretty much against everything ... it has been a US dollar positive story," said RBC strategist Michael Turner.
Joseph Capurso, a strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, said some of the FOMC members are rethinking the need for quantitative easing because of its costs.
"They are worried about financial stability and the size of the Fed's balance sheet, which are not good things, but the US dollar rose anyway," he said, seeing the Aussie possibly slipping to $1.0350 next week.
Selling of the Aussie accelerated after breaking key levels. It was now sitting around the 50 per cent retracement mark of the $1.0345-$1.0527 rally, with next support seen at $1.0414, the 61.8 per cent of the same move. Resistance was found at $1.0484.
Still, the Australian dollar's downside was seen limited thanks to strong iron ore prices, which powered up further to $149.80, the highest since October 2011.
Prices are now up 73 per cent from the lows in September, a big boon to national income as iron ore is Australia's single largest export earner.
The Aussie has gained 0.6 per cent so far this week, after a US fiscal agreement which temporarily averted huge tax increases and spending cuts fuelled a rally in risk assets.
Charts showed the kiwi dollar was in oversold territory, with the December 31 low of $0.8196 seen as the next target and Wednesday's high of $0.8397, near term resistance.
The NZ currency gained 6.5 per cent last year against the dollar as interest rates there remained well above those in most other developed nations. Also aiding are expectations of stronger growth this year with the help of earthquake rebuilding in Christchurch.
The currency found extra support from strong dairy prices and Boxing Day spending.
The Antipodeans hovered near multi-year highs against the yen, recently battered on expectations its central bank will take ever bolder measures to kickstart its economy.
The Aussie was up 0.4 per cent on the day at 91.54 yen, within striking distance of 91.77, a level last seen in September 2008. It was on track to post its largest weekly gain since June with a rise of 2.7 per cent.
The kiwi held steady at 72.20, having climbed as high as 73.14, this week a peak not seen in over four years. It gained 20 per cent last year.
The Antipodeans kept large gains on the euro, which suffered a reversal this week. The common currency last stood at $1.2482 , well off a three-month peak of $1.2807 touched last week, while it fetched $NZ1.5815, having shed 4.5 cents in one week.
The next flash point is US employment report later on Friday, which is expected to show employers added 150,000 jobs to their payrolls in December. Earlier, the ADP National Employment Report showed the private sector added 215,000 jobs last month.
The New Zealand government bond prices followed US Treasuries lower, with local yields up around 4.5 bps.
Australian government bonds slipped near multi-month lows with the three-year contract down 0.08 points to 97.160, having dropped to 97.130, its lowest since August.
The 10-year contract also shaved 0.08 points to 96.585, after it touched an eight-month trough of 96.545. Charts show 96.48 is the next big level, the 50 per cent retracement of the March-May rally.

1) That is the best team in the East, no doubt at all, with the best skill, a goalie who can get hot and stay hot, and a team that can play it rough and nasty, or any which way, and on an absolute roll. And Kris Letang is back. And that other guy, too.
2) But … I still think, in a best of seven, if the Rangers play the way they played most of this season, and if they have Henrik Lundqvist in goal and Ryan Callahan in his "C" jersey and are relatively healthy otherwise, there's no way they get completely rubbed out by the Penguins. I still think they can beat any team in the East … and pretty much any team in the East could beat them, if that team is willing to grind and battle with them.
3) And that all said, the Rangers had more mess-ups in this game than in any game in a long time … allowed five goals for the first time (other than a shootout loss to Ottawa, in which the fifth goal is "awarded" after the breakaway contest) all season …
4) They sure could have used a big save, and I'm not pinning anything at all on Martin Biron. But he didn't steal anything.
5) Interesting that John Tortorella said his D-men (the back end) struggled — and they did — and that he called out the Boyle-Prust line for allowing too many goals lately. If they're not going to score, he said, they can't allow so many. Those are pretty honest and accurate assessments.
6) You have to love the sticking together and all of that, but after Evgeni Malkin got knocked on his can by Boyle, then went after Boyle's knees, Prust can't retalliate after the whistle. And that said, Malkin has this habit of when he gets hit, his stick "accidentally" comes down like an axe on the opponent. It did there, and he got away with it.
7) The only call or non-call I really had an issue with was the trip on Gaborik on the near breakaway. I don't think it was a penalty shot, and I don't think it was intentional, but he got tripped when he would have had a breakaway. Not that the Rangers power play would have made a difference. You never know, though. Also, Brooks Orpik got three healthy cross-checks and a slash on Gaborik, and no call, on the Hagelin goal.
8) Sidney Crosby. I just wanted to say that since everybody else in North America thought that this game was about him for some reason. It wasn't. If he didn't play, it still would have been 5-2.
Here's some Skid audio, courtesy of the Penguins. Crosby.
9) Wonder how serious Artem Anisimov's hand/arm injury is. We probably won't know unless it's long-term. But the Rangers sure are getting banged up now without Callahan and Del Zotto, and with Boyle a walking bundle of injuries.
10) Dan Girardi was the best Rangers defenseman in this game, by a lot. Stu Bickel was second best. By a lot. The rest? Yeeesh.
11) Seven straight goals, and nine in the last three games, for the Carl Hagelin-Brad Richards-Marian Gaborik line. Gaborik missed a check on one of the goals, but was pretty damn good and got No. 35. Tortorella's right. They need somebody else to kick one in once in a while. Maybe when Callahan gets back.
12) Geno Malkin=Beast. Malkinsanity?
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Carl Hagelin.
2) Brad Richards
3) Marian Gaborik.

Also, is anybody interested in doing a review of Saturday's game against the Avalanche? Looking for somebody on short notice … and somebody who's not going to be drinking green beer all day. If you want to do it, again, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks. — The Mgmt.
Finally, Krisy and the Norwegians, thank you for the Melkehjerter!!!!! You rule!

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Facebook ( FB) shares gained 2.6% to $27.73 as the social-network company announced its first-ever product without needing an account, Facebook Messenger for Android. Users can sign up using just a phone number. Facebook also is working on settling some of its legal claims. U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg granted preliminary approval of $20 million to settle claims that Facebook used some of its users' named without their permission, while advertising products through its "Sponsored Stories." Facebook shares have been performed exceptionally well, gaining 56% over the past three months.
IBM ( IBM) shares dipped lower in mid-day trading, off 0.21% to $189.08 as the company announced the closing of its Kenexa acquisition for approximately $1.3 billion. "By creating a smarter workforce, employees can drive innovation to bring products and services to market faster, resolve problems before they arise to improve customer service, and increase sales by building new skills -- linking the right experts to the right clients," said Alistair Rennie, general manager, social business, IBM. "The combination of Kenexa's world-class human capital management solutions and IBM's social business and analytics leadership uniquely positions IBM to help clients generate real returns from their social business investments, while helping them to be more competitive in their markets." Kinexa is part of IBM's initiative to keep adding to its cloud computing offerings. Kenexa offers recruiting and talent-management software.
Stratasys ( SSYS) shares fell on heavy volume, dropping 3.05% to $67.91, as the 3D printing company loses some of its luster. Still, the shares are up 123% since the start of the year, while competitor 3D Systems ( DDD) has added 211%. Interested in more on Stratasys?

Walking through Audioboo from Mark Rock on Vimeo.
There is a great new web and mobile service called Audioboo. It's an iPhone app that lets you record a short snippet of audio, take a photo, add a name and some tags to it and then upload it to Audioboo's website. When your "Boo" ends up on Audioboo's site it also displays a Google map where you recorded your audio. Audioboo sends your Boo to Twitter and your Boo has embed codes ready for you to copy paste. All these features have been available in various forms but Audioboo puts it all together in a nice package. Audioboo announced just this week that that are working with Spinvox to transcribe spoken work Boos to text.
As a musician there are clearly some clever ways you can utilize this service. Besides recording my own Boos I've been enjoying listening to other user's Boos and following a few famous tech geek's Boos such as Leo Laporte.

This post was going to be your run-of-the-mill gift guide. All week, I'd been thinking of things you could get your food-iac friends and family.
And then, I sat down to write it. I started and erased it three times.
Why was I having such a hard time writing such a simple post?
It might have something to do with a video I watched the other day of people waiting to get into a Victoria's Secret once it opened on Black Friday. The crowd brayed and yelled, pushing and elbowing their neighbours even though there was nowhere to go. Their nostrils flared, their eyes wide with a combination of fear and delight; it looked like a mosh pit, or dare I say it: a herd of cattle. But that wasn't what got me.
It was the look on the employees' faces.
They were scared. And I think it is no exaggeration to say that I think they were actually scared for their lives, because once the doors opened, they knew that flood of people would knock them over, stomp on them, hurt them, yell at them — all in the name of saving a few dollars for a present for someone they ostensibly really care about.
Have we possibly gotten away from the importance of this season, y'all?
We hear it every year, but I hope that I really get it this year. This season is not about getting or giving more stuff. This season commemorates a gift given to us, one of life and light in an otherwise dark world. This season is about sharing that light with others, both those we love and those we don't even know. It's about counting our blessings, and celebrating in hope for the ones we pray for next year. And at a time of year where many of us have family to gather with and plenty of privileges, it's a time to extend ourselves to those who have little to nothing or no one, because I imagine this is the time of year that the sense of lack hurts most.
"Ok little Miss Kill-Joy. Does that mean we're not exchanging presents this year?"
HECK NO! I love me a present! But I suppose I'm challenging us to go deeper with our gift-giving this year. Let's actually observe what our friends and family truly need, and give in that direction. Someone told me about a gift a father gave his son: a pound of great coffee with a note attached: "This coffee only to be consumed when the two of us get together." Isn't that great? So in that spirit, here are some food-based gift ideas that might get us all thinking of giving in a different way this year, in a way that really embraces what this season is all about.
1) Service Gift Certificates
These are the sweetest of all. Think of something you can do for a family member or a friend, and make gift certificates with these "services": a scratch card with 5 coffee dates (you're buying), breakfast in bed, a home-cooked meal, an offer to come take care of them when they next get sick. Other ideas: mani-pedi dates, a foot rub at the end of a long day, or a written promise to do that one thing your friend has been asking you to do forever (go to that one museum/show/store), washing someone's car, doing their laundry, babysitting their kids so they can go out for dinner with their significant other, organizing their kitchen if they're awful at organizing (um, are my friends listening?!). You can even make your certificates look really beautiful like these guys (pictured above) did!
Think about your loved ones for a spell, and I bet you'll be able to come up with some really beautiful ideas that will not only be of service to your loved ones, but will touch them deeply when they realize that you've actually been listening to them.
I love these guys. They collect used grease from restaurants such as Mario Batali & Nancy Silverton's Mozza, refine it, use some of it as bio-diesel and turn the rest of it into a sublimely-fragranced line of candles and dish soap. I can't get enough of the fragrance; to me, it smells like a walk in the woods with a freshly showered man. But that's just me. I'd like to give this to a friend who is always strapped for time with a note that says, "whenever you light this candle, please take three deep breaths before proceeding with the rest of your day, and know that I'm thinking about you."
3) Kusmi Tea
My favorite teas on the planet are made by a French company called Kusmi. This is how good they are: I dislike green tea with a passion. Their green tea? I will happily brew a whole pot and drink the lot. Their teas are delicately flavored, with a refined finish that makes each cup special. Even the tea bags themselves are beautiful, and it always seems like a shame to throw them away. The tins are gorgeous, and bonus: your friend can use them to house something else once she's supped all that good tea. My favorite is one called Sweet Love, a spicy concoction of black tea with licorice root, pink peppercorns and some other spices. I'd pair the tea with a couple of pretty mugs, perhaps one with your initial, and one with hers (available here), with a promise to come over for a cup of tea once a month or whenever she needs it.
4) Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi
Bloggers and food writers seemingly everywhere are gushing about this cookbook, and I have to concur. Every recipe is literally mouthwatering, and easy. Heck, you don't even have to make anything; you can just drool over the gorgeous photographs! In any case, I would attach a note offering to cook through the book over the course of the year; you could even go through and tag those recipes that appeal to you, and write a sample menu for your first dinner together.
5) Cooking Classes
Whether it's learning how to make jam or how to cut great sashimi, what a great way to spend time with a friend, AND learn something new. A couple of my friends took a cooking class together a few years ago and they still talk about how much fun it was. Just make sure that it's a class where you actually get to cook, rather than an observational class. These usually last a few hours, so you're guaranteed to spend some quality time together and make lasting memories!
6) Giving in Their Name
I love when people do this for me! Offer someone three different charity programs to choose from; you'll give to one of them in their name. One of my favorites this year: Oxfam's "Unwrapped" Campaign (full disclosure: I do represent Oxfam from time to time). You can buy needy families around the world anything from a vegetable garden, to a bee-rearing class, to even a cow! It goes directly to them! Isn't that cool? Heifer.org allows you to buy goats, llamas, even irrigation pumps on behalf of your friend. You could make a donation to a local food bank on behalf of your friend. Another charity I work with here in LA, Harvest Home, will link you up with families they know who can't afford to buy their children presents. You (and your friend) can help make this a holiday to remember!
See? Isn't this fun? Once you start thinking this way, you'll find yourself coming up with lots of creative ways to show the ones you love how much you, well, love them. I'm not demonizing gift-giving or shopping for people at all. But no matter how much, or how little, money you have, the most valuable commodity we all have is time, and giving that to the people we love? Those are the best presents (presence?) of all.
Aarti began cooking as a chubby kid, as soon as she realized that in order to satisfy her sweet tooth, she'd have to make dessert. It was only as an unemployed adult that she graduated to cooking other dinner courses, and once she did, she was hooked. Her blog, aartipaarti soon birthed a YouTube cooking-variety show of the same name, shot with her husband in her tiny Los Angeles apartment. After much coercing, she applied for season 6 of Food Network Star, was accepted, competed and won. She now hosts Aarti Party on Food Network, and appears on Cooking Channel's Drop 5 Lbs with Good Housekeeping, Unique Eats and will host a new show, Taste in Translation, that debuts in January of 2013. You can also find her on Facebook, Twitter (@aartipaarti) and Instagram, as well as her blog.

Those who look carefully at the knowledge from the Mind of Allah in the Qur'an will see.
He said, 'Far from it! Your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He Who brought them into being. I am one of those who bear witness to that.
By Allah, I will devise some scheme against your idols when your backs are turned.'
(Surat al-Anbiya', 56-57)
He broke them in pieces, except for the biggest one, so that they would have it to consult!
(Surat al-Anbiya', 58)
They said, 'Did you do this to our gods, Abraham?'
He said, 'No, this one, the biggest of them, did it. Ask them if they are able to speak!'
(Surat al-Anbiya', 62-63)
He did not touch the biggest idol. That is also knowledge from the Mind of Allah. He did it, but he said he did not. That was the right thing to do. He did not lie, he did the right thing. As required by that knowledge from the Mind of Allah. "This one, the biggest of them all, did it" he said, pointing to the biggest idol. "Ask them if they are able to speak" he said. And that is also knowledge from the Mind of Allah.
Those who say the Islamic world is in a terrible state should also come up with a solution. They keep complaining about them slaughtering Muslims and everything. But they never once mention Islamic Union. They should loudly declare that the Islamic world has to unite. If there is nothing wrong with the EU uniting, why is it wrong for the Islamic world to? Some people are striving against the Mahdi with all their might. They keep complaining about America, France burning and destroying, they keep weeping about all that, but they never speak of the solution. They should say that the answer is Turkish-Islamic Union, Islamic Union.
It is very easy for Muslims to unite. Let us unite and have peace and love. I am not saying we Muslims should arm ourselves and kill everyone, but that they should unite and teach people love. Islamic Union must be what the European Union is. Conditioning is a crucial issue. People need to be conditioned toward fervor every day in the newspapers and on television. They imagine they are producing a basis on which America will always be in the right. But America is bombing and saying it will liberate the people, and nobody objects. If we had Turkish-Islamic Union it would take just 3 words to calm things down. If Hazrat Mahdi (as) said three words about the events in Libya, it would all calm down at once. Hazrat Mahdi's (as) weapons are his words. The words that come from Hazrat Mahdi's (as) mouth are his weapons. He will put an end to it in just 4 or 5 words

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/2/2013 (1651 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BRANDON -- The funeral service for four Waskada residents killed in an airplane crash last weekend will take place Monday at 2 p.m. at the Jolly Construction shop, located just south of the village, according to a friend of the families.
Darren Spence, 37, his two sons, Gage, 10, and Logan, 9, and their friend Dawson Pentecost, 9, died after the six-seater Cessna 210 that Spence was piloting crashed into a farmer's field north of Waskada.
There will be a shared service at the shop, which can hold between 600-700 people, according to the family friend.
A fund has been established to help cover the funeral costs for Dawson. Cheques for the Pentecost family can be made out to the Village of Waskada, postal code R0M 2E0.
The Village of Waskada has also set up a special fund in honour of the three young boys killed in Sunday's plane crash.
The money donated will be used to send kids in the community to summer hockey camps. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to the Waskada Athletic Club.
Spence was involved in a family crop-spraying business. But it's believed he had taken the boys on a pleasure flight Sunday afternoon. By 6 p.m., RCMP were notified the plane was overdue.
The wreckage was found with the help of Canadian Forces search and rescue technicians, who parachuted down to the crash scene.
The three boys had all attended Waskada School.

Brennan girls stay perfect
Updated 11:31 pm, Friday, January 27, 2012
BOERNE — It has been so long since Brennan lost a game — Feb. 18, 2011 — that Tanaeya Boclair had started to forget what losing felt like.
That feeling crept back into her head on Friday when the Bears trailed Boerne Champion late in the fourth quarter.
Thanks to Boclair's late heroics, No. 2 Brennan felt nothing but joy after pulling off a 62-55 overtime win over the Chargers at Champion High School to improve to 30-0.
"It was incredibly intense," Boclair said. "When we were down, we were just thinking, 'How's it going to feel if we lose this game?' We didn't want to feel that way."
The 6-foot-1 sophomore starred with 19 points, 15 rebounds, three steals and two assists. She had two key steals and sank four free throws in overtime.
"I've got a few more gray hairs after that one," Brennan coach Randy Evans said. "The thing I'm most proud of is that we hung in there, made our free throws when we were dead tired, and did what we had to do."
Sports Channel
That meant bouncing back from their first halftime deficit of the season.
The Chargers (24-6, 7-3 District 28-4A) challenged the Bears (30-0, 9-0), who allow 25.1 points per game, from long range. They made eight 3-pointers as a team, with Brooke Allemand and Amanda Willoughby each sinking three.
Willoughby made a fast-break layup to give Champion a six-point lead midway through the fourth.
Ashlynn Graham almost single-handedly brought Brennan back. The 5-2 junior scored seven straight points to tie the game 49-49 with 25 seconds left. Champion had the ball with eight seconds remaining, but couldn't convert a layup.
Brennan's Kealani Marquez stepped up in overtime. She scored five of her 11 points in the extra period, including a 3-pointer that gave Brennan the lead for good.
Champion pulled within a point with 16 seconds left, but Boclair swished four straight free throws to put the game away.
It was Champion's first loss at home of the season.
"Our girls aren't upset, they're mad because we let them off the hook," Champion coach Jonathan Tate said. "We just hope we can make a long run and meet them again in the playoffs."
Brennan is eyeing a perfect regular season. The Bears have three games remaining against teams with a combined record of 23-56.
"We want it so bad," Boclair said. "We're thinking about it all the time."

HOUSTON - Parking meters will soon be going up along a street filled with bars and restaurants.
Houston City Council approved an ordinance on Wednesday that will allow the city to place parking meters along Washington Avenue.
Because paid lots are expensive in the area, employees and valet services have been taking up the free parking spots along the road and many customers have been parking on nearby residential streets.
Residents said they have seen many bar and restaurant customers walking around their neighborhood drunk and some of them have been seen fighting and urinating in front yards.
The city plans to install 45 pay stations for 350 spaces. The installations will take several months.
This is a pilot program that will be in place for 18 months and then be re-evaluated to determine if it helps solve the problem.

Last week I explained why I couldn't "love" the Windows Phone from an enterprise perspective. On a personal level, I do love the smartphone, which offers a much more polished experience than my previous Android device. But that nicer interface doesn't address the issue Windows Phone poses to enterprises, which is its poor support of Microsoft's own Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) policies.
EAS is an essential part of Exchange and, soon, Microsoft System Center 2012. Being able to control your messaging environment lets you protect your organization and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. The various EAS policy settings are what enable that protection and compliance. When a company like Apple or Google creates an OS lacking some of the EAS policy settings, you can almost understand it. But with Microsoft having control of both the mobile OS (in the case of Windows Phone) and of Exchange Server, its smartphone should be able to support every single EAS setting.
[ Learn how to manage mobile devices in InfoWorld's 20-page Mobile Management Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
In fact, both Apple and Google provide more EAS support in their mobile OSes than Microsoft does. An iPhone or Android smartphone should never have an EAS capability that a Windows Phone smartphone doesn't have -- period.
Some people have excused Microsoft's poor EAS support by saying Windows Phone was designed for the consumer side, but that argument is absolutely meaningless. OK, so Windows Phone is designed primarily for consumer use, but it should still be operational in the enterprise -- just like the consumer-oriented iPhone and Android are. If a user doesn't access business email, then the EAS capabilities would do no harm, but if the user did want to connect to the business email, the EAS policy support would be there to allow it -- plain and simple.
Fortunately, it's gotten a little better. The 7.5 "Mango" release of Windows Phone last fall added several new policies, so Microsoft knows it is falling short on the EAS front. Furthermore, it's acknowledged one of the big enterprise omissions in Windows Phone 7 -- on-device encryption -- will be addressed in new devices that run the Windows Phone 8 "Apollo" OS expected in November. (Blog reports have indicated that Microsoft will add Windows' BitLocker encryption technology to Windows Phone 8.)
Which EAS policies each Exchange version supports
Let's take a quick look at each flavor of Exchange and see to what degree of EAS each supports. Because many organizations are still using Exchange 2003, they should know whether Windows Phone will support the EAS policies they can enforce in those environments. Microsoft tends to focus on just what its latest versions can do, but there's a great comparison of EAS client capabilities on Wikipedia. Here is what each version supports:
- Exchange Server 2003 and EAS 2.5 have only a handful of features available, including remote wipe, direct push, and SSL-encrypted transmission. Windows Phone 7.5 supports all these EAS features.
- Exchange Server 2007 (including Service Pack 2) and EAS 12 add several key policies, including on-device encryption and the ability to disable the camera, removable storage, infrared (IR) port, text messaging, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, browsers, and a host of other features that may be necessary for your environment to meet regulatory compliance. Although Windows Phone 7's predecessors -- Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 -- support all these features, Windows Phone 7.5 supports none; theoretically, you can disable IR, removable storage, and Internet sharing, but they don't seem to actually work. Of course, because only one Windows Phone 7 device (a Samsung Focus model) even has removable storage -- encrypted and locked to the device -- the lack of a removable-storage disablement policy is no problem.

The IRS released its retirement plan limitations for 2014. Don't get too excited; the new rules don't change retirement planning all that much.
The contribution limits for workplace retirement plans, such as 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans, remain unchanged at $17,500. Catch-up contribution limits also haven't changed, at $5,500 for those 50 and older, for a total possible contribution of $23,000 -- same as in 2013.
The amount you can contribute to Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs, also remains static, at $5,500, plus $1,000 for those 50 and up.
It's not as if there will be a public outcry about the inability to contribute more. Few people max out their retirement plans. In fact, a new survey by Mercer finds that most people mistakenly believe the contribution cap is around $8,532, and they contribute less than that.
"The overarching message is that this is a pretty surprising and shocking perception gap, and that sponsors and the vendor community need to do a much better education job," says Bruce Lee, a spokesman for Mercer, which provides consulting services for human resource departments worldwide.
Another potential problem, says Lee: "People might get their 'maxes' confused. In other words, those that are maxing their contribution to hit the employer's match might think this is also the IRS max limit," he says.
Now you know the true maximum limit: $17,500 or $23,000 if you're 50-plus. Challenge yourself to contribute more to ensure a comfortable retirement.
IRS cost-of-living adjustments
Faithful readers of Bankrate know that contributions to workplace plans are taken off the top, meaning you generally pay no income taxes on them, though you will have to pay taxes at ordinary rates after you retire and begin taking distributions.
However, your ability to take a tax deduction for contributions to a traditional IRA depends on whether you invest in a workplace plan and how much you earn. Deductibility is phased out incrementally when your adjusted gross income, or AGI, exceeds a certain threshold. The so-called "income phase-out ranges" increased a bit in most cases.
Here are the new limits:
- Deductions for IRAs made by single and head-of-household filers phase out for those who are covered by a workplace plan and have AGIs between $60,000 and $70,000, up from $59,000 to $69,000 in 2013. That means you get a full deduction if you earn up to $60,000, and a partial deduction if you earn up to $70,000.
- If you're married filing jointly and you contribute to a workplace plan, the income phase-out range is $96,000 to $116,000, up from $95,000 to $115,000 in 2013.
- If you're married filing jointly and your spouse contributes to a workplace plan but you do not, the income phase-out range for deductibility of contributions is $181,000 to $191,000, up from $178,000 to $188,000 in 2013.
- If you're married and filing separate returns, the phase-out range remains $0 to $10,000, the same level it's been for many years, and doesn't get a cost-of living adjustment.
If you contribute to a Roth IRA, you don't get a tax deduction upfront, but rather you pay income tax on the contribution. But then your IRA can grow unfettered and free of tax forever with no required minimum distributions and no tax due when you do take money out. However, if you already contribute to a workplace plan and your income exceeds certain levels, your contribution to a Roth IRA may be limited or prohibited.
Here's the nitty gritty:
- Income phase-out ranges for married couples filing jointly who contribute to a Roth IRA are $181,000 to $191,000, up from $178,000 to $188,000 in 2013. That means if your adjusted gross income is less than $181,000, you can contribute the full amount allowed. Your Roth contribution amount must be reduced if your earnings fall within the phase-out range.
- For married couples filing separately, the phase-out range remains $0 to $10,000, with no cost-of-living adjustment.
- Single and head-of-household filers can earn up to $114,000 and contribute to a Roth IRA. The income phase-out range is $114,000 to $129,000, up from $112,000 to $127,000 in 2013.

Delight has greeted news that Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander, has today announced that the "proud history, unique culture, and distinctive language of Cornwall" will be fully recognised under European rules for the protection of national minorities.
The decision to recognise the unique identity of the Cornish, now affords them the same status under the European Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities as the UK's other Celtic people, the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish. For the first time the government has recognised the distinctive culture and history of the Cornish.
Speaking on a visit to Bodmin, Cornwall, Danny Alexander said: "Cornish people have a proud history and a distinct identity. I am delighted that we have been able to officially recognise this and afford the Cornish people the same status as other minorities in the UK."
Cornwall Council has welcomed the Government's decisions, saying this means that Government departments and public bodies will now be required to take its views into account when making decisions.
Dick Cole, leader of Mebyon Kernow said: "This is a fantastic announcement for Cornwall. As the Leader of Mebyon Kernow, I am absolutely delighted that the Government has recognised the Cornish people as a National Minority and it is great to see that all the Celtic peoples of these Islands – the Cornish, Irish, Scottish and Welsh – afforded protection under the Framework Convention.
"I would also like to play a heartfelt tribute to everyone who played a part in the long running campaign to secure National Minority status."
"It is with surprise and great delight that we heard today that the Government will fully recognise the Cornish as a national minority under the Framework Convention for Protection of National Minorities" said Cornwall Council Leader John Pollard.
The main aims of the Convention, which was first ratified 15 years ago, is to ensure that the rights of national minorities are respected by combating discrimination, promoting equality and preserving and developing the culture and identity of national minorities. Three previous attempts to include the Cornish in the Framework Convention were unsuccessful; the last attempt was made in 2011.
The Council has stated its support for the Cornish as an ethnic minority in its Equality and Diversity Framework. A working group of Members and key figures within Cornwall has been working on the paper setting out why the Cornish should be recognised as a national minority.
One of the leading Members of the working group is Bert Biscoe who said "I very much welcome that the Cornish as a group can stand equally beside all other groups in British society".
Inclusion in the Convention will:
• Recognise the distinctiveness of the Cornish and enhance the United Kingdom's reputation as a country that celebrates and supports the diversity of its inhabitants.
• Further the economic interests, not just of Cornwall, but of the United Kingdom as a whole.
• Help strengthen the confidence of our young people that they are encouraged to identify with their cultural identity, and that this is valued by the rest of the country.
• Help strengthen the 'Cornish' brand and provide a mechanism whereby the Cornish can establish and strengthen links with other groups accorded similar status across Europe and around the world.
• Create stronger links between communities and a greater understanding of shared values to help create more vibrant communities than can shape their own future.
"National minority status will not initially bring any additional funding or powers to the Council or to Cornwall" said John Pollard. "We will need to work with partners to make this clear to people in Cornwall.
"However, there are obviously significant benefits for Cornwall in being included within the Framework Convention which is worth celebrating and I pay tribute to all those who have worked tirelessly over many years to achieve this status" .
The Cornish language has already been recognised under European rules for minority languages. In March this year, the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced that the Government would be investing a further £120,000 into the Cornish Language Partnership (MAGA) to promote and develop the language.
Communities minister Stephen Williams said: "This is a great day for the people of Cornwall who have long campaigned for the distinctiveness and identity of the Cornish people to be recognised officially.
"The Cornish and Welsh are the oldest peoples on this island and as a proud Welshman I look forward to seeing Saint Piran's Flag flying with extra Celtic pride on March five next year."

EDIT 03-20-13 -- Whoops, I am forced to correct myself. Apparently there was a Witchblade/Red Sonja crossover series just in the last couple of years. And that thing with Ash from Army of Darkness fighting the Marvel Zombies. Who knows, maybe I'm forgetting other things as well.

I like the King Kong suggestions. Not sure where you could go with it, but it'd be cool. This year would be the perfect time to do it too, since it's King Kong's 80th anniversary.
One character that, imo, Dynamite needs to persue is Doc Savage: Man of Bronze.
2013 is also the 80th anniversary of the Doc.
If my understanding is correct, and I am the first to admit I could be wrong. DC has lost the rights to Savage. Leaving them open for a quick and savy company to pick them up.
Given the excellent run Dynamite has had/and is having with their presentation of pulp characters, it would be a shame if they did not make a serious attempt to aquire the rights.
For deep in my soul the old gods brood-
And I come of a restless breed-
And my heart is blown in each drifting mood
As clouds blow over the mead.

Always remember, Murphy was an optimist
Munchkin 1, 2, 4, 7 Super Munchkin 1&2, Munchkin Bites 1&2, Munchkin Fu, Star Munchkin Deluxe and Star 2
And The Avenger* too, while they're at it. Might as well go for the Street & Smith trifecta. Those three were always the "Big 3" pulp heroes to me (sorry, Spider and Black Bat). Of course The Avenger had a lot more success the second time around in the 1970s as a paperback reprint than he ever did in the 1940s, to the point where when the original pulp stories ran out, Paperback Library commissioned new ones from writer Ron Goulart. Strangely enough, The Spider and Black Bat (and other long-running pulp heroes like G-8 and Phantom Detective) never made much of a dent in the market in the 1960s-1980s mass-market paperback reprint era, even though they were vastly more popular in the 1930s and 40s. The irony there is that Paperback Library licensed the right to reprint The Avenger from Conde-Nast, while they actually owned the rights to the Ned Pines-published pulp heroes Phantom Detective, Black Bat, and Captain Future. Probably goes to show the importance of having a really strong cover artist like James Bama, Jim Steranko, or Peter Caras.
*If they can get around the fact that Marvel will object to them using the title "The Avenger" and DC may object to "Justice Inc."

I would like to see an updated Dick Tracy series, Lost in Space and a Warlord of Mars/Lord of the Jungle crossover.
new Lost in Space comics (based on the old show instead of the movie) would be awesome. as would Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. i grew up with reruns of all the Irwin Allen shows and loved them. still do.

Choose the Right VHF Antenna — Center Console
Being lower on the water, a center console benefits from a long antenna, increasing the range to its radio horizon. So Catoe recommends Shakespeare's 18-foot Galaxy antenna model 5018 ($621.95)—like the 5309 he recommended for offshore cruisers (but 5 feet shorter) or the 4018.
Of course, other manufacturers also produce 9dBi antennas of about the same height and gain, such as Digital Antenna's 532-V. But securing a big antenna in a relatively small, lively vessel can be a problem. Also, center consoles have the same cosmetic consideration concerning upright antennas as the bigger sportfisherman, so it would be worth considering a compromise: a 6dBi antenna such as the Glomex RA1225, perhaps adding an extension tube to give it some extra height.

Help me make someone's day! Operation Baking Gals
It's that time again everyone! Time to make a real difference by BAKING! I did my first Operation Baking Gals earlier in the year and I kept hoping to do it again. I've teamed up with Heather from Heather Drive to lead a team!
If you've never heard of Operation Baking Gals, check out the website. Basically, a team of bakers get together to send goodies to soldiers stationed overseas. Even non-bakers sign up in the fun to send care packages. Then the soldier being sponsored by a team shares all their goodies with his/her buddies.
This round is even more special because the soldier we're sponsoring is a friend of mine from high school.
Jon and I graduated together with about 50 other students back in 1999. This May, we got to chatting at our 10 year high school reunion. He was telling me how he was getting shipped out to Afghanistan in July. He will be over there for a year. I immediately thought of OBG! So if you'd like to help make Jon's day, sign up to join us! The shipping days are Oct 1-12 which is coming up soon.
If you'd like to join us,
1) go to http://www.bakinggals.com/ and Log In or Create a New Account
2) go to Join a Round 13 Team
3) join Team Heather Drive/Beantown Baker
4) wait for an email with the shipping address
If you have any questions, check out the Operation Baking Gals FAQ page.
Also check this out.
You can get a special flat rate box from the US Post Office. The boxes are FREE and you can ship the box with anything in it for a flat rate of $11.95. They are specifically for APO/FPO addresses and say "America Supports You" on them. How cool is that!
I hope you can join Heather and I. If you know a soldier who would love some love from back home, let us know about that as well! If you have any questions, feel free to email me!
3 Responses to "Help me make someone's day! Operation Baking Gals"
Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your site! I'm in Beantown also. 🙂 I was just wondering what kinds of baked goods you're looking for. I've heard before that they prefer not to have things with chocolate if it will be hot over there (due to melting).
Hi becca – last time I sent chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies. Sturdy cookies or bars tend to do well, but yes chocolate can melt. The FAQ has some other ideas as well. Some people send prepackaged protein bars or other items the soldiers can't get over there. Feel free to email me if you have other questions.
Thank you for organizing this!! I signed up a few days ago and am really excited to start assembling my package for Jon and his friends.

Ah one of the greatest aspects of the BBC and their coverage; no adverts, ever!
For American viewers, how frequent are the advertising breaks?
That's because the 'beeb' is funded by your TV tax. So you've 'pre-paid' for that content. And you can look at that as either 'state funded propaganda' or TV biased by persons who must answer to the people (as opposed to 'corporate funded propaganda answering to share-holders with no real responsibility to the public at large'.)
I'm not a huge fan of corporate-funded propaganda not effectively answerable to the people. Our sad state of 'news' in the US is a glowing result.
I find the BBC a lot less unbiased than private firms like Fox. Propaganda is a bit far lol.
I don't mind pay £10 a month for no ads.
The opening ceremony was bloody brilliant! I wasn't bothered too much with the Olympics but got really in to it now! Just watching the boxing now!
So Apple want to portray their users as people who can't use their products or even buy their products without the help of a "genius"...
Very frequent. On topic, these suck. That's a good thing, because I like Windows better than Apple. I don't dislike Apple though.
I think they suck because despite mentioning a list of apps and products, they don't show how easy it is to use them, nor how they "just work." They do show an example of how easy it is to get help, but you have to pay for that after an extent.
Windows fairly recent campaign about how at-home mothers can do simple photo editing and kids can do video editing is solid compared to this.
Question for you: without adverts, how are the networks paid? In the US these channels are free over the airwaves. I assume you HAVE to pay for them in the UK? Or they have figured out another clever way to make money off their watchers, surely?
We have to pay a TV licence which is, I think, about £120 a year ($180).
All channels that aren't BBC have adverts though. Because we pay the licence, by law, the BBC are not allowed to advertise any brands.
The funniest thing about the BBC is when they show American shows like The Simpsons is only 20mins long and a lot of the shows do a recap after adverts but on the BBC they do the recap straight after they actually done it! Lol
I was over the moon when i accidently stumbled acrost the 48 new channels for the BBC Olympics (half HD half SD) but its hard juggling which ones I flick between
What happened with the great ideas, concepts, colors, etc? This sounds and looks desperate. Is this Chiat Day's work? Looks like average PC company triyng to catch up people...

|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Kakashi as ANBU
Hey everyone! I was wondering whether there was any solid evidence that Kakashi used to be an ANBU squad captain. I know there's a scene in the Naruto Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, and that he has an ANBU tattoo, but is there any other scenes in the anime that show him in ANBU gear?Fieldxscarecrow 22:06, 8 October 2008 (UTC)fieldxscarecrow
- It is confirmed that he is in the ANBU thanks to Tenzo but I think in the second Shippuden opening, there is another scene of him in ANBU and at the end of a shippuden episode, I think Yamato shows us Kakashi (ANBU) with his dogs. ~Kakashi Namikaze (talk) 11:10, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
In the episode of shippuuden number 35 when Kakashi is in the hospital and tenzo, sunade an shisune enter in the left arm of Kakashi you can look Kakashi`s anbu tattoo.
Well, I could only say that his oufit tells it all. His mask that we could not see his true face tells of a secret and hidden past... That's just my opinion... Not based on facts.. Yeah when he was at the hospital and when Sai was introduced, Sai said he was fables in ROOT...
In Shippuden, Yamato admits several times that he served under Kakashi in ANBU and even refers to him as "Senpai" repeatedly. I would say this is conclusive evidence, personally. (Furthermore, a shinobi as skilled as Kakashi, the Copy Ninja, surely would have served in ANBU if Sai did!).
Kakashi's Mask
Kakashi Hatake is a very skilled ninja, supposedly knowing over a thousand techniques with the help of his Sharingan eye. He took the Chunin exams when he was only six, and passed. There are certain mysteries about his mask, none of them confirmed by either the manga, or the anime. One primary belief is that Kakashi wears his mask to hide not an ugly face, but to hide his unbelievably handsome face. Even early chapters including Kakashi (the Kakashi Gaiden, the chapters before the time-skip where Kakashi's team is revealed) as a Chunin, on his team with the future Yondaime, Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha, and Rin.
In one omake episode of Naruto, the anime, Team 7 attempts to reveal what is under Kakashi's mask (episode 101); going so far as to lay traps, and dress as enemy ninja and attack him. However, they are unsuccessful, and at the end Kakashi takes off his mask only to reveal another mask beneath it - though once they are gone it insinuates that he would have revealed the second mask if they'd asked.
There is also evidence in shipuuden. Seeing as to how there is a member, (Former) in the anbu. This character use to be under leadership of Kakashi during his time in anbu.
--Six-shot-samurai (talk) 12:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)six-shot-samurai
In Naruto chapter 313, the ANBU tatoo is absent from his left shoulder, a slip from Kishimoto?

The Youth First Texas Board of Directors voted to remove its members at a special board meeting Thursday night.
Former YTF board members, Chris Hendrix, Cathy Gonzalez and Richard Gordon will step in as the interim board until more members can be added.
Board chair Chris-James Cognetta read the resolution to dissolve the board to a room of about 30 people before it was approved and the brief meeting was adjourned.
The resolution called for the complete removal of the board because of dysfunction among members, concerns of stakeholders and in light of statements made by community leaders at the last board meeting Jan. 8 that could be seen as damaging.

England have beaten the White Ferns by nine wickets to claim the fourth match and win the international one-day series at Barnsley Cricket Club.
The victory gave England an unassailable 3-1 lead with the fifth and final game to be played at Lords on Tuesday.
An outstanding bowling display kept the White Ferns to a modest 136 for nine after Aimee Watkins won the toss and elected to bat. England coasted to victory with Heather Knight the only wicket to fall.
Coming together at 41 for one, Sarah Taylor (49*) and Claire Taylor (51*) put on an unbeaten second wicket stand of 98 to guide England to the comfortable win.
Earlier, spearhead Katherine Brunt snared three for 31, removing the dangerous Lucy Doolan and Suzie Bates early to set the tone for the match. New ball bowling partner Jenny Gunn and spinner Holly Colvin chimed in with two wickets each while Isa Guha went for just 11 runs off her ten overs.
Again, Watkins steadied the inning after the loss of early wickets, making a hard fought 42 but she played a lone hand with the next best contribution coming from opener Natalie Dodd who reached 22.
Speaking after the match, coach Gary Stead said: "The team is disappointed. We didn't bat well today albeit on a very difficult wicket and lost wickets regularly so we were about 30 runs short of a competitive score.
"We bowled and fielded well but never had enough runs. We are looking forward to playing at Lord's where we should find a faster paced wicket.
"England have more game awareness than us - the gaps between the teams has closed in the series and we have improved since the Rose Bowl Series against Australia but we need to learn how to win the close moments in a match.
"England are able to sense when the moments are coming and win them. We have made some good progress but need to find greater consistency in all disciplines."

Rep Requirements removed from Justice Gear
by Sunfyre on Oct.01, 2012, under Gear Discussion, Mists of Pandaria
Hi guys,
I know I haven't posted much about Mists yet. Been busy digging in and gearing up to raid, rep up, etc. I will have a post coming shortly about my first opinions and what I think is great, as well as what I think needs to be improved.
In the mean time, this was hugely needed, and I'm glad they finally implemented it.
Bashiok posts:
We've just applied a hotfix that removes the faction requirements for Justice gear.
Shado-Pan and August Celestial factions will no longer require Golden Lotus faction to purchase this gear. This will allow players who have reached level 90 to have additional sources of item level (ilevel) 450 gear to progress into the Dungeon Finder Heroic dungeons more readily.
Players who are looking to purchase this gear should seek out the following vendors:
Townlong Steppes:
Shado-Pan – Rushin the Fox in Shado-Pan GarrisonAll – Commander Lo Ping in Niuzao Temple
Vale of Eternal Blossoms:
August Celestials – Sage Lotusbloom or Sage Whiteheart in the Horde and Alliance Shrines Golden Lotus – Jaluu the Generous in front of Mogu'shan Palace
Dread Wastes:
Klaxxi – Ambersmith Zikk in Klaxxivess

Alphonse Chapanis (1917–2002) was a pioneer in the field of industrial design, and is widely considered one of the fathers of ergonomics or human factors - the science of ensuring that design takes account of human characteristics. Chapanis was notably active in improving aviation safety around the time of World War II, although his career covered a wide range of domains and applications.
One of his major contributions was shape coding in the aircraft cockpit. After a series of runway crashes of the Boeing B-17, Chapanis found that certain cockpit controls were confused with each other, due partly to their proximity and similarity of shape. Particularly, the controls for flaps and landing gear were confused, the consequences of which could be severe. Chapanis proposed attaching a wheel to the end of the landing gear control and a triangle to the end of the flaps control, to enable them to be easily distinguished by touch alone. Thereafter for that aircraft there were no further instances of the landing gear being mistakenly raised while the aircraft was still on the ground. This particular shape-coding of cockpit controls is still used today.

Controlling and holding urine
My mother is 75 years old. Recently she cannot control her urine. Is there a surgery to help her to have more control over urination?
It all depends what kind of urinary incontinence she has. Most likely her condition is treatable by medication if she has overactive bladder. Surgery is designed to correct stress urinary incontinence. See your urologist for more information.
