Jutsu form the basis of all combat in the Naruto world, and on this board. In order for a technique to be used in combat, it must first go through an approval process.
Please read these guidelines thoroughly.
These are the basics of creating a jutsu, following our template.
Name: The name of the technique. Simple enough! You may call it anything you want in any language you want.
Rank: The rank of the technique, E, D, C, B, A, S with E being the lowest and S being the highest. There are limitations on which shinobi-level can perform which rank, see below for details. All elemental techniques (either basic of advanced) have a minimum rank of C.
A technique may have multiple ranks (ex. "Rank: C-A") but each ranked variant must be described in the Description portion of the template.
On occasion, the technique up for approval may encompass a wide range of abilities, for example a taijutsu or kenjutsu style, that is not a specific technique. In those instances, it is okay to leave the rank blank, or more frequently to add the level of mastery the character can use of the style. This is usually done by indicating the rank (ex. "Rank: Genin"). This cannot be used for specific techniques.
Range: The range of the technique from the user.
-Supplemental (meaning it effects the user itself)
-Short (0-5 meters), Medium (5-10 meters)
-Long (10+ meters). For long range techniques, you may specify the maximum distance (ex. "Range: Far (50 meters)"). You may be asked by a mod to specify the distance, depending on your technique.
A technique may have multiple ranges.
Jutsu Type: Which discipline the technique falls into. The categories are Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Fuuinjutsu, Kenjutsu/Weapon Art, Medical Art, Summoning, Puppetry, Chakra Control.
Some techniques will have multiple types, for example a punch that uses a fire element to deal fire damage. In those case, types may be combined (ex. "Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu/Taijutsu"; "Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu/Medical Art").
You may specify the technique's type for clarity if you wish. (ex. "Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu - Clan Ability"; "Jutsu Type: Fuuinjutsu - Medical")
Elemental Affinity: The element that the technique uses, either one of the basic or one of the advanced. Only one element can be used in a single technique. If a technique does not use an element, you may leave this portion blank.
Clan: If your technique is an ability granted to you by the character's clan, post the name, with a link in this section. This will need to be done for each and every clan art.
Description:This is the most important section of the process. There is no line count or word count minimum, however the technique's description must be thorough. Thoroughness is determined by the moderator, and you may be asked to clarify or change portions of your description. It is thus to your advantage to be as clear and precise as possible.
All jutsu follow these basic formulations, so it might be good to use this as a guideline when you're creating them.
Activation: How is the technique activated? Physical arts simply perform the technique. Most ninjutsu, genjutsu, etc. are activated using handseals.
Cost: What is spent using this technique? The most common cost will be chakra. Some more powerful techniques may also be required to add additional cost, usually physical drawbacks during battle. Costs have to be immediate and measurable; things like "lowered lifespan" is not something anyone can enforce and therefore is not a proper drawback.
Effects: What does the technique do? Be thorough.
Appearance: What does the technique look like? This includes the area of effect that the technique has on the target as well as what it should look like to the other players. Typically, players should have a chance to dodge a technique, so try to make your techniques mostly visible.
Rules and Guidelines
This section is divided into two categories: Rules and Guidelines.
Rules are hard and fast decisions that may not be overturned, loopholed, or ignored without Admin approval. Don't worry, there aren't too many of them.
Guidelines are how the moderators will be judging your lists. This now takes specialty of the character into account, so make sure you read them carefully. Guidelines may be bent, twisted, or broken so long as the moderator believes the exchanges are fairly balanced to the spirit of the site.
Number of Techniques
The maximum number of techniques you may include in your list is based upon rank. Please note that "Academy" jutsu like Transformation, Clone, Explosive Note Release (Ka) are all considered part of every shinobi's training and do not need to be listed and do not count toward a Genin's total number.
Genin - May have 25 total techniques. These are limited to D and C rank. A Genin may be allowed one incomplete B-rank technique to their list. Incomplete means that the technique does not work properly and causes complete chakra drain as well as physical drawbacks to the user. It is considered a "last ditch" or "finishing" move.
Chuunin - May have as many techniques as they wish. These are limited to E - B-rank techniques. Chuunin are also allowed three A-rank techniques to use as they wish, as well as one incomplete S-rank. Incomplete means that the technique does not work properly and causes complete chakra drain as well as physical drawbacks to the user. It is considered a "last ditch" or "finishing" move.
Jounin May have as many techniques as they wish, E - A rank. Jounin are allowed a total of 3 to 4 S-rank Techniques depending on the strength and nature of those techniques. It is up to the moderators if they will be allowed 3 or 4.
Kage/S-rank/Sennin - May have as many techniques as they wish. Previously there was a marked difference between Kages and S-ranks, but they are now considered on the same level. These characters are allowed 5 to 6 S-ranked Techniques. More may be added at the discretion of the moderator, but the overall character must remain balanced and fair. A moderator may also cap one of these characters below the limit if they feel the S-ranks are too powerful to remain balanced.
Technique limits beyond Genin were removed as it is unlikely any character will use all of their techniques in a single battle.
No character may have A or S rank techniques that do not fall under one of their character's specialties. The only exception are Kage/S-rank/Sennin level characters, who may have 2 A-ranked techniques in a non specialty.
Element Rules
All shinobi are allowed one element, which is the one they have a natural affinity for.
In order for a Genin to have an element, they must have a ninjutsu specialty (please read the specialty guidelines for more details, read all of it not just the ninjutus part or you'll be pretty confused). Additional elements are also granted as a result of that specialty.
Here's a handy chart.
Genin, (No Ninjutsu Specialty) - no Element
Genin (Ninjutsu Specialty) - 1 Element.
Chuunin (Carrying over Ninjutsu specialty from Genin) - 2 Elements
Chuunin (adding ninjutsu specialty at Chuunin) - 2 Elements
Chuunin (no Ninjutsu specialty at Genin, no Ninjutsu specialty at Chuunin) - 1 Element.
Jounin (Carrying over Ninjutsu specialty from Genin/Chuunin) - 3 Elements
Jounin (adding ninjutsu specialty at Jounin, did not have at Chuunin or Genin) - 2 Elements
Jounin (no Ninjutsu specialty) - 1 Element
Additional elements are not granted for obtaining a Kage/S-rank/Sennin rank up.
If that was confusing, here's a flow chart: http://imgur.com/5rUC2.png
If this is still confusing, read the adorable story in the spoiler tag.
If the above was confusing, let this group of Academy youngsters show you how it's done!
Kana - Kana afraid of scary elements when she was young, so she didn't take a ninjutsu specialty at all throughout her shinobi career. However, when she got to Jounin, she decided it was okay, and mastered her one innate element.
Kari - Kari, like Kana, did not like elements, so she never took on a ninjutsu specialty. However, she decided at Chuunin that maybe having one wouldn't hurt, so she added her 1 innate element at Chuunin. She kept her 1 at Jounin, since she didn't add on the specialty.
Taro - Taro liked to burn things, so at Genin he picked ninjutsu specialty so he could learn to use fire. Since he had his ninjutsu specialty for the rest of his career, he gained an element at Chuunin and then a third at Jounin. He still likes to burn things.
Aki - Aki didn't like elements when he was a Genin, so he went with a Taijutsu specialty. However, after getting burned one too many times in fights with Taro, he decided he needed to learn, so he learned his Ninjutsu specialty at Chuunin. He studied both his innate element, as well as an extra element. When he got to Jounin, he mastered his third element.
Han - Han never quite knew what he wanted. He thought he could be a master swordsman, so he chose a Kenjutsu specialty at Genin, but then wanted to be a healer so picked Medical Arts at Chuunin. Now with a weird skill set, Han chose Ninjutsu specialty at Jounin, gaining 2 elements to cover his weaknesses.
If this is still confusing, PM Tsu and he'll sort you out.
Kana - Kana afraid of scary elements when she was young, so she didn't take a ninjutsu specialty at all throughout her shinobi career. However, when she got to Jounin, she decided it was okay, and mastered her one innate element.

If this is still confusing, PM Tsu and he'll sort you out.
Once elements are chosen, they are not allowed to be changed.
If a character receives up to three elements, they are allowed to choose an Advanced Element if they choose that specialty (again, see below for more details.) The Advanced Element is chosen by mixing the two basic elements together. It does not matter in which order the elements were gained, either combination can be created (ex. Magma is made by combining Fire and Earth. It no longer matters if you chose Fire or Earth first, you can always pick Magma)
Once an Advanced Element is chosen, it cannot be flipped (ie. if you chose Magma for Fire and Earth, you can't latter switch it to be Glass).
If a Jounin does not choose the Advanced Element specialty, they will be allowed a third Basic element.
Some clans hold an Advanced Element as part of their bloodline abilities. In those cases, the Advanced Element is opened to the character at Genin, and the two component elements will be available for use at Chuunin and Jounin respectively when the character is granted additional elements as normal.
Summon Rules
These summon rules supersede all previous ones. Currently approved summons need not follow these rules unles subjected to a Power Level Adjustment Hearing (P.L.A.H.)
Non-Summoner Specialty
If your character does not have a summoning specialty, these are the rules that apply.
- Characters are allowed one summon contract. You may not receive another, even if one is sought out IC. This one contract may be signed IC from an existing contract or may be added to the character either as a clan summon or simply as you wish to create it.
-This one contract may use any animal/creature, regardless if one exists for that animal/creature in another contract.
-This one contract may include up to 2 elements. There has been a reduction in order to maintain balance.
-The cost for summoning is equivalent to the rank of the creature summoned (ie. A-ranked creature requires A-ranked chakra), not the cost of using the Kuchiyose technique (which is significantly lower).
-Each summon has a limit in the number of techniques they hold. For reach rank, they are allowed one jutsu of their equivalent rank (ie. an A-ranked summon may have one A-ranked technique):
E Rank - 0
D Rank - 2
C Rank - 3
B Rank - 4
A Rank - 5
S Rank - 6
Summoner Specialty
Summoners have different conditions, see the specialty section below for more details (please read all of it.) The important thing to note however is that summoners do not have their own element, regardless of other specialties chosen.
-Summoners are allowed a "mixed contract" (explained below.)
-This contract is allowed 4 elements (1 of which can be an advanced element combination), due to the trade off of elemental power.
-Summons have the same jutsu limit.
E Rank - 0
D Rank - 2
C Rank - 3
B Rank - 4
A Rank - 5
S Rank - 6
Genjutsu Addendum
Just a quick rule update. Genjutsu now require a "trigger" in their descriptions. Meaning one cannot simply cast the genjutsu on the target; they have to look at, feel, smell, or hear something to initiate it. PM a mod for help if you need it.
The best genjutsu is subtle. The more ridiculous and all-encompassing you make it, the more justifiable breaking out of it is. If you make it clever and small, no one will ever see it. If you can figure that out, you'll master Genjutsu in no time.
Forbidden Types of Techniques
The follow techniques or types of techniques are not allowed unless Admin consent is given (and that's probably gonna be pretty rare.)
Teleportation Type Techniques - A character cannot move throughout the field at will, regardless of explanation. This includes "Reverse summoning." These will not be allowed.
"Flash Step"/DBZ-speed Techniques - Any technique that grants the user such speed that it appears as if they are teleporting, in a sense instantaneous movement. These will not be allowed.
Rasengan/Chidori - Are not learnable or teachable. Variations or similar techniques may be created.
Rinnegan - This ability is locked.
Sharingan - This ability is locked to the few Uchiha left. If there comes a time when Uchiha are revoked, this ability will be locked. Sharingan may not be "stolen" "borrowed" "gifted" or "transfered" in any way without Admin approval.
Eye Transfers - The eye transfer is an extremely rare circumstance and as such receiving one from any clan, canon or otherwise is prohibited without Admin approval.
Custom Creations that are "similar" to locked abilities - These will not be allowed.
Senjutsu - While not strictly forbidden, they will not be allowed during "official" battles, such as wars or bijuu hunts. Tournaments and exams may also restrict its use. It is also locked to higher ranked characters and will not be given out lightly.
Genjutsu Immunity - While there might be abilities that improve resistance, there will no longer be any situation in which a target is completely immune to genjutsu.
Infinite, or near-infinite, chakra - Too imbalanced, regardless of the drawbacks.
Izanagi-type Genjutsu - Too strong to bend reality to that degree.
The 8 Gates - Locked to canon characters or characters who presently have them. Cannot be taught to new characters. Characters with the gates may be barred from using them in official battles.
Chakra Blasts - Too dangerous with our element configurations, plus this isn't DBZ. Close range chakra attacks are fine.
The objective of the moderators is a simple one: make sure things are fair.
Yeah, the rules seem a little daunting at first, but once you have them mastered you'll see that there's a lot of flexibility still. The moderator makes sure your idea doesn't crush over too many other people's ideas.
In the interest of keeping things fair, and keeping the site interesting, we've developed a bit of a system to get rid of the swarms of cookie-cutter shinobi on the site and make things a little more interesting. We're taking our previously unused/unimportant specialty system and making it way more important.
Again these aren't rules, so there's only a few hard-and-fast changes that result from the specialty system. The rest is just what the mods will be taking into consideration when they are looking at your character.
Please read all of this very carefully.
When you make your character, you pick a specialty.
Logically, if your character is a Genin and studies a particular field, by the time they are Jounin this is the field they would be the most well-versed in. Simple reason: time. If you've been reading books on Genjutsu since you were 11, you'll be very well versed in the subject by the time you're 27.
What this means is that the earlier specialties are going to be the one your character is the strongest in. As you add one per rank, these will be slightly weaker, since they are secondary disciplines.
What does that mean for approval? A few things.
Complexity and Power of techniques will be logically limited. If you start as a Genin with Taijutsu, then pick up Fuuinjutsu at Chuunin, then Genjutsu at Jounin, it doesn't make sense for your character to be able to create Tsukiyomi-type illusions. The character doesn't have the experience needed to make that kind of technique. However, if you want a complex taijutsu style, you have all the reasons in the world to have it.
Similarly, if you want a very powerful ninjutsu, then you're more likely to have it approved if you've had ninjutsu for a while.
This doesn't mean you can't create techniques outside of the specialty disciplines. You can. You just can't make the strongest ones.
Physical and Mental Conditioning is also affected. If you've studied Genjutsu a long time, you'll be naturally more resistant and more able to get out of it. If you've studied Taijutsu, your body is strong and can take a beating from just about anything. These conditioning modifiers have been used by many players before, but now this gives us a solid scale to utilize. This can also affect combat situations.
Characters start with one specialty and add them with each increasing rank, with a maximum of four specialties.
Some characters will start out with multiples if their clan configuration requires it. For example, a Hyuuga using the Jyuuken will start out with both Taijutsu and Chakra Control. The sacrifice for this is they will not be able to choose their second specialty when they reach Chuunin.
Please note that the list of Specialties is now different. You may have to adjust your character's specialties because of this. You may do so.
Breakdown of Specialties
Remember that these are guidelines and the bonuses/drawbacks can be altered with work from a mod.
Ninjutsu - The art of manipulating chakra in order to change reality. Genin are now required to use the Ninjutsu specialty if they wish to use an element at Genin. The reason for this is to improve specialization as well as the amount of time required in studying elements requires dedication to ninjutsu. Specializing in ninjutsu allows for more powerful and more complex ninjutsu, as well as the ability to understand and predict other ninjutsu being utilized against you. In general, a ninjutsu user will also have a more thoroughly trained chakra supply, particularly if this specialty is taken on at lower levels.
Genjutsu - The art of illusion. Genjutsu specialization allows the creation of more powerful illusions and resistance to illusions as well as identifying triggers and even possible reflection of techniques. Genjutsu users will have a sharper mind than most. World-changing, mind-imprisoning techniques akin to Tsukiyomi will only be allowed by long-term Genjutsu users.
Genjutsu reflection is a B+ Rank ability. Take note of that.
Taijutsu - The art of physical combat. Taijutsu specialization allows for invention of styles, increased strength, and chakra-enhanced Gai/Lee-style taijutsu attacks. Only Taijutsu specialists will be allowed to use their chakra elements in taijutsu moves. Increases overall strength and/or speed of the character and makes them resistant to physical damage (even that by ninjutsu users, assuming the attack is blunt). Taijutsu users are also better at predicting physical attacks and have an increased chance of dodging against them.
Summoning - This is very different from its previous form. A summoning specialist is good at communing with odd creatures and has the ability to create a summoning contract. These are to be "mixed" contracts, where in the summoner's personal contract can contain animals/creatures of any kind, as many as they want (within other jutsu limits). Their mixed contract will have 4 elements assigned to it, though the elements chosen may be applied to any of the creatures on the list (ex. Fire Dog, Fire Cat, Fire Cow). As an exchange, summoners themselves will not have their own element. A summoner's strength is their summons.
Kenjutsu/Weaponry - Previously different specialties, now merged into one. A Kenjutsu/Weaponry expert understands how weapons are used and how the body can wield them, allowing them to create and defend against complicated attacks. This specialty allows for higher ranked weapons as well as elemental inspired moves involving the ninja's weapon of choice. Physical conditioning is also improved, but more importantly the ability to dodge and block (as absorbing a blow in a sword fight isn't usually an option). Weapon experts can also create scrolls capable of unleashing devastating attacks. Kenjutsu/Weapon experts tend to be tactical.
Fuuinjutsu - The art of sealing. Fuuinjutsu specialization allows for more powerful and complex seals, the ability to quick apply seals, and increased understanding of them, allowing for removal and adjustment, as well as duplication. Characters without this specialization may not apply such seals to themselves or other characters. Not having a Fuuinjutsu specialty earlier may limit your acess to more powerful and complex creations. Fuuinjutsu users can be very cerebral and intelligent.
Medical Arts - The art of healing. Medical ninjutsu are limited to Chuunin and above, however the most powerful medical techniques can only be unlocked by those who have held the Medical Art specialty since the beginning. This makes the Genin years very hard since there is no element to fall back on and only physical healing to help their comrades. Still, the most determined and skilled medical-nin will find ways around these problems to become great life-bringers. Medics tend to be caring.
Puppetry - The art of using combat puppets. Puppetry specialization unlocks the Chakra String technique and allows them to create puppets in the equipment section. Higher ranked puppets are reserved for those who have held the puppetry specialization for longer periods of time. This also allows for prediction of other puppet weaponry and actions. Puppeteers tend to be very strategic.
Chakra Control - Now locked at Chuunin, increases control over chakra. This lessens cost of chakra-based techniques, and allows for the potential of creating close-range chakra attacks. Also allows for control of chakra within the body to improve certain body functions. "Sensor" type shinobi (those who can sense the presence of other chakra signatures like Karin) are also chakra control specialists. Chakra Control specialists tend to have higher stamina and a greater grasp on the controlling aspects of their jutsu.
Advanced Element, Non-Bloodline - Locked to Jounin. If a character has two elements when they reach Jounin, they may choose to use this specialty instead of another to activate the choice of Advanced Elements. This prevents every character from having them, and creates different specialization amongst Jounin. Jounin who choose not to use the AE specialty can have 3 basic elements, or wait until they reach S-rank to select it and have their advanced element. This does not need to be used if your character has a KG that allows for an advanced element. You in essence, get that one for free. Advanced Element users have extreme control over their elemental abilities and will have an easier time creating more powerful techniques.

Chocolate, With a Side of Hog
Notes from the lunch-time feed bag, which is more like a grab bag:
Over-priced and over-rated NOKA Chocolates of Plano announced today that it's getting a primo spot in Harrods' Food Halls -- otherwise known, says here, as "one of the most luxurious and indulgent gastronomic experiences known to man." I've always been a Mary of Puddin Hill man myself, ever since I was a little boy ...
Thanks to today's Chicago Tribune, I now know that "pigs have been spotted in urban parks in Dallas and San Antonio, startling joggers." (Really?) The story also directs your attention to this Web site, where you will find detailed photos of a pig's "heart lung cavity." Says "explicit," but you know you wanna peek ...
Speaking of troughs, says here that former TXU bossman John Wilder's new business venture, JSW Interests, has rented out space in the Crescent for his "new private equity venture focused on the energy sector." Course, rent don't mean much to man who just got himself $280 million. --Robert Wilonsky

This denim jacket is my go-to for spring and summer. It's light, stylish, and perfect for cooler days or nights. I love styling it with pants, dresses, skirts-- anything and everything. Although I do avoid the whole Just & Brittney denim-on-denim look. Way to 2001 for me.

Someone Uploaded PHP WebShell On Facebook : Facebook Hacked
Since the secondary passage found in the Facebook's corporate server, not on its primary server, Facebook client records are not influenced by this episode. Despite the fact that the organization would have never thought about the indirect access if a white hat programmer had never recognized the secondary passage script while chasing for vulnerabilities. Security specialist Orange Tsai of Taiwanese security seller DEVCORE coincidentally ran over a secondary passage script on one of Facebook's corporate servers while discovering bugs to procure money reward from Facebook. Tsai filtered Facebook's IP address space that drove him to the files.fb.com area that was facilitating a powerless rendition of the Secure File Transfer application (FTA) made by Accellion and was utilized by Facebook representatives for record sharing and joint effort. Tsai broke down the helpless FTA and found seven security imperfections as he clarified in his blog entry:
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) defects,
- Remote code execution defects,
- Local benefit acceleration issues.
The analyst then utilized the vulnerabilities he found as a part of the Accellion Secure FTA and accessed Facebook's server. After effectively accomplishing his objective, Tsai began examining logs data accessible on the Facebook's server for setting up his bug report, and that is precisely when he detected a PHP-based secondary passage, famously known as a PHP Web shell, that had conceivably been introduced on the server by a pernicious programmer. Tsai then reported the greater part of his discoveries to the Facebook security group, which compensated him with $10,000 (€8,850) for his endeavors and began its own criminology examination that was finished for the current month, permitting the scientist to unveil the vulnerabilities mindfully.
It is impossible to hack any component of fb because of having world best cyber team in fb data centers

Al's Habrich Trail is one of the most stunning hikes the Sea to Sky gondola has to offer. The views of the Howe Sound are unreal all the way up, as well as the occasional waterfall during the summer months.
We arrived at the Sea to Sky Gondola in the early morning and rode up to the top in the gondola to where the trailhead was. Once at the top there was a gift shop and a suspension bridge with a wooden viewing platform. The trail goes to the left of the complex down an old logging road. It is well marked and easy to follow. Once on the trail it is fairly smooth sailing to the top. There are many open areas with views of the valley along the way up. At one point along the trail there is a short rock face you must climb, however it is very easy and there is also a rope to help you up and down attached to a tree there. Once you arrive at the top there are views of the whole valley, and you are able to see Whistler and several other major mountains in the area.
Overall this was a fantastic hike and I highly suggest it.

The latest addition to the Tomorrow's Harvest portfolio is a website for therapist Anne Hopkinson, based here in Northampton MA. Anne is building a private practice, and this website was an upgrade from a older, single-page site to meet the needs of her growing business. When planning the website, we developed four goals for the user experience. We wanted visitors to:
- Understand what type of services are available
- Easily schedule a consultation
- Find location information, and details about health insurance coverage
- Have a calm, comforting experience, since finding and making contact with a therapist can be a stressful, daunting process.
Behind the scenes, for Anne's purposes, we also had some technical goals in mind. We know that scheduling new clients is time consuming, often involving phone tag and emails back-and-forth, so we wanted to make scheduling as efficient as possible. We came up with a great solution for that – more details below. We also knew that most clients would be local, so optimizing the website for local search listings was important.
Appointment Scheduling
I suggested that we integrate the online scheduling service offered by Calendly into the website, to give visitors an easy way to book an initial consultation in a couple of clicks. I've only heard good things about Calendly, and know many professionals that can attest to the hours saved by this service. Calendly integrates with a Google Calendar account, and offers visitors an easy way to view a professional's availability and book their own appointment online. After setting up a Calendly account and connecting it to Anne's Google Calendar, we embedded the scheduling tool right on the homepage of the website. The first booking came through just hours after launching the website!
Calendly is free if you only have one "event type." Various paid plans are available if you want to give visitors the choice of different appointment lengths or purposes. Highly recommended!
While this quick and easy scheduling with Calendly doesn't remove the need to follow up with the client, it reduces the amount of effort it takes for a visitor to take that first step of scheduling an appointment. This is a significant advantage for a therapist. As Anne said when writing the copy for the Contact page, it can be daunting to reach out to a new therapist for the first time, so any tool that makes this easier is good for the client and for her business.
On the technical side, both Anne and the new client receive an automatic email (which can be customized) confirming the appointment, and the time period is automatically blocked off in Anne's Google Calendar.

Buckley London isn't a brand I was too familiar with but once I saw their beautiful range of jewellery, I was smitten. Whilst I am partial to a statement necklace, I much prefer minimal, but eye catching jewellery so many the new Spring/Summer collection pieces from the UK brand was right up my street!
The brand has been established since 1989 with an aim to create jewellery that is the best quality it can be at a competitive price. You may have seen the Sparkle Poppy on Kate Middleton, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and others, it is designed by Buckley London in partnership with The British Legion.
Firstly, I love the packaging, it's simple but sleek and the hook on the box is a nice touch. I'm not sure why but I feel like it really adds to the packaging really nicely.
I think my favourite piece is the Rose Gold Interchangeable Earrings* (£45) – I'm very much a stud girl but these are so eye-catching and different. They are cubic zirconia studs with an additional piece that hugs the earlobe, giving an edgy but still sophisticated look. The set comes with 2 pairs of studs, one with a rose gold ball and the other with a sparkling crescent. I have had so many compliments on these earrings because they're so different to regular studs. I think they make my earlobes look really pretty and I've found myself wearing my hair behind my ears just to show them off.
Being the generous girl I am, I have a cheeky discount code for all my readers. If you pop 'SUGARFIXX20' in at the checkout you'll get 20% off your order.
Have you tried anything from Buckley London?
Love, Kate xo

Ronaldo 'wants to leave' Real Madrid
Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is "upset" after being accused of tax fraud and wants to leave, a source close to the player told the BBC. Spanish prosecutors have accused Ronaldo, 32, of defrauding the authorities of millions of euros in tax, which he has denied. "He feels he's honest, has good character and did everything OK," added the source. His Real contract has a 1bn euro (£874.88m) release clause. Will Ronaldo really leave? If so,…Read More

The city's Commercial Revolving Loan Program made its first interest-free loan to Full Moon Bar-B-Que. The loans are available to businesses
that were destroyed or heavily damaged on April 27, 2011, and to new businesses willing
to build in the tornado-recovery zone.
TUSCALOOSA | A loan program designed to lure businesses to build in the city's tornado-recovery zone started slow start late last year, but on Wednesday, it hit a milestone of sorts.
The city's Commercial Revolving Loan Program made its first interest-free loan to Full Moon Bar-B-Que.
The $200,000 loan has a three-year term for full repayment.
But having enough money for more such loans is not a problem. The Commercial Revolving Loan Program received $2.5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in September for rebuilding after the tornado.
The city also recently received a $500,000 grant from the state for additional business rebuilding loans, said Mayor Walt Maddox. There is money available, he said.
"We are having a lot of inquiries," Maddox said. "It is helping us in our (business) recruiting efforts."
The loans are available to businesses like Full Moon, which was destroyed by the April 27, 2011, tornado, as well as businesses that sustained heavy tornado damage and new businesses willing to build in the tornado-recovery zone. The loans cover expenses and improvements not paid for by insurance or other programs.
"I believe in the next 18 to 24 months, it will be even more utilized," Maddox said of the loan program.
The loans could help lure new businesses to the city if they build in the tornado-recovery zone.
"(The loans) are available for everyone from Kohl's (department stores) to convenience stores," Maddox said.
Four other businesses have received City Council approval for loans and are expected to get a check from the program soon, said Savannah Howell, the city's community development program manager.
Those businesses are: Hoo's Q, a barbecue restaurant; Gilda's Salon and Day Spa; Wright's Restaurant; and Jack Marshall Foods, a corporate office for a KFC restaurant franchise.
Brian Ahmed, owner of the Full Moon franchise in Tuscaloosa, said the loan money he received Wednesday will help his business and the community.
Before the tornado, Full Moon was a free-standing restaurant in the Wood Square Shopping Center. The shopping center, near 15th Street and McFarland Boulevard was destroyed by the storm.
Ahmed bought land across the street and built a 30 percent larger Full Moon restaurant, which opened July 30, 2012, about two months before the revolving loan fund started.
The interest-free loan will be used to refinance debt incurred in rebuilding, he said.
"This loan takes some of the pressure off," Ahmed said after Maddox gave him with a check. "We'll have more money for advertising, more money to invest in the community, more for fundraising, hiring and improvements that all business must make in the future."

We use could as the past of can.
- I was trying to get in touch with her, but I couldn't get through the lines.

May vs. Might
We use both mayand might to express possible actions or happenings in the future. But we use only might when the situation is not real.
- Jorge may not come tonight because he isn't feeling well.
- She might be the one I have been looking for.
- If I knew how to sing, I might join the choir. (not real)
Can vs. May
Both can and mayare used to ask for or grant permission. The only difference between these two is that one is more polite than the other. Can is often used in informal texts while may is in formal texts.
- Can you spare me a piece of bread?
- The letters were given to those it may concern.

"Your Cheating Heart…"
OK. You're likely wondering:
- Why that title?
- Is this a tribute post to Hank, Sr?
- Is kengon crazy?В (yes, but not in a clinical sense)
After sitting for a while with my post on "Operating Principles for Guitarists", I started thinking about what I'd left off. Well, turns out I thought of something. Gee, a real shocker, eh?
Here is the next entry for your consideration:
You cannot cheat your way to greatness.
Ouch!! Did I say that out loud? Yup. I did. Why?
We've all heard of the musical prodigy who was born with an instrument in their hands and was writing full orchestral scores by the time they were two. OK, so I (kind of) exaggerated there, but it's not off by a whole lot. The fact remains that certain people are born with a set of gifts for music. I am not one of them and it's likely you're not either. It's not that we're bad people, it's just that this kind of gift is not that common. As a result, speaking for myself anyway, I've had to work hard for everything I've got. I've earned it.
I remember when I was in school at GIT, I recall saying to myself — "I can't remember all this!"
You know:
- I was right. I had to cover too many subjects, with too much data to effectively remember. Memorization doesn't occur in an instant. At the time, I really did think that it was all about how much I knew… especially because I didn't think I knew that much!
- I was also wrong. I also used that as a justification for for not doing what it took to get to the next place in my playing. I was so focused on learning and finding a way to get great quick (call it what it is, eh?), that I think I missed a number of important opportunities and lessons that were right there for me.
In short, I was trying to cheat my way to greatness. I only had so much time left and I needed to really get to where I wanted to be. I knew that if I just learned enough theory, I'd be able to pick up The Real Book, select any tune and shred over it. Gee. Was I ever wrong. That attitude didn't make any allowances for what it takes to integrate the knowledge and experience one gains from such an intense experience and have that show up in your playing. Needless to say, it takes time, persistence and patience. None of which I had in abundance.
In my developmental discipline, we talk about cheating as trying to get an outcome without doing what it takes to really earn it. As I continue to develop myself, both as a person and as a musician, I've begun to realize that in order for me to really progress, I need to sign on for doing what it takes to get to where I want to be. There are certain (predictable) spaces a musician (especially a guitarist) must go through, certain things that must be practiced and memorized until they're automatic and a certain level of knowledge to really progress.
Trying to avoid them, figure out shortcuts/workarounds or listing the reasons (justifying) why they don't apply to you doesn't work. Trying to become a great player without doing what it takes is cheating. The sooner we identify it for what it is, the quicker we can get to work on what it really takes to get to where we want to be.
Then again, maybe cheating will work this time. After all, it has worked before. That's why it's so alluring. Maybe (just this one time) I can have my pudding without eating my meat (apologies to Pink Floyd). Hmmmm…
So, where do you stand? What do you think?

Great subject that I have discussed in connection to the word, Talent which I struggle with. Too often people say "Oh that's easy for you your Talented". The truth is I have had to work hard and practice endless hours to play as good as I do. I'm no master but I can get around pretty well and to have it all scooped under the rug by saying I'm talented has always been an issue with me. Believe me I don't loose any sleep over this just thought I mention it. What do you think?
kengon - August 14, 2009
I think your comment is on the money. Thanks for jumping in!
Just like I said in my post, most of us are not born with some pre-disposition to being a musical prodigy — it's something that we intentionally develop over time.
A few points worth noting:
1. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of places to go to start to understand how to intentionally develop (either as a musician or as a person) over time. At least for music, formal schooling is generally about as good as it gets, but it's no guarantee, as the focus is on teaching/learning, not development.
2. Talent is a very loaded word. Your example of how "talent" was used is a prime example of why I dislike it. Most of the time, it's used as a cheap assessment that gets used to either beat someone (ourselves?) up or get off the hook for doing what it really takes to get good (just like you have). I'd prefer to think of it as aptitude, it seems to me to be a bit less loaded.
3. I think there's a very fine line between appreciating the gifts that one has been given (some expressed in aptitude) and getting wrapped up in how "talented" we are or aren't. The more we focus on the former, the less we have to pay attention to the latter.
FooteMAN - August 19, 2009
Bingo, isnt there a saying that goes something like hard work and tenacity generates luck. One could replace the word luck with talent.
kengon - August 19, 2009
Duly noted and another great comment. As a matter of fact, as I was re-reading it the other night, I had the exact same though. There are likely a number of words we could substitute for talent that are equally compromised. Even ability can be co-opted without much effort.

Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Chevre & Roasted Red Pepper
Recipe by Just Call Me Martha
This is absolutely awesome! When you cut into it - WOW - A wonderful suprise of chevre, mixed with herbs, red pepper and spinach. The chicken is coated and lightly browned before going in the oven, which helps to seal in the juices. There is quite a bit of stuffing, so if your breasts aren't large (did I say that?), you may want to consider 8 smaller ones. The recipe originally came from a local restaurant I believe. Remember, the amounts are based on fresh herbs.
Top Review by PetsRus
Yum, what a lovely combination! But it was hard work, I had a bit of trouble to get the pocket big enough and I went through the breast the first time I attempted to make the pocket. I had spare chicken breasts and the ones that I messed up can be used for another dish. Besides the great tasting stuffing we also liked the sauce which had a soft citrus flavor. I served the chicken with oven baked potato wedges and a cucumber salad. Thanks Martha!

My pick for featured Etsy shop Is bannerflowerfarm today. I had purchased a new coat a couple of weeks ago. The coat was a dark chocolate brown. This coat was a Columbia so I didn't need a fancy hat just an everyday hat. So as I was perusing the Etsy web site I came across this very hat. This Is the hat I purchased. It goes with my new coat perfectly. Gives It that little splash of color that It needed. This hat Is very well made, It fits great, looks stylish and the price was only $10.00
They have several different color combinations In stock. This Is a new shop on Etsy. I was their second sale. The item shipped fast, great communication between buyer and seller and I would definitely purchase from this shop again, In fact I have my eye on another. Hope you enjoy the featured Etsy shop.

What to do on holiday in the Lake District
The Lake District is a playground of relaxation, fun, adventure, great food, superb hospitality, unique culture, fresh air and mesmerising scenery.
Here are the top 5 things to do when visiting the award-winning Lake District National Park.
1.) Bag a Wainwright
Holiday cottages in the Lake District provide the ideal walking base to bag yourself a coveted Wainwright peak, as many of the most popular walks can be accessed right from your doorstep. Of course, you'll need to make sure you choose accommodation close to a local Lakeland pub to sample the famous Lake District hospitality, fine ales, Cumberland sausage or Herdwick Lamb. This will be well deserved after climbing the 950m ascent of Helvellyn – a popular fell that featured in the first of Alfred Wainwright's famous hand-printed books, 'A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells'. Wainwright was of course a fan of a good post walk pint!
2.) Shop 'til you Drop
The Lake District is one of the UK's premier shopping destinations for all things outdoor, from specialist climbing crampons to the latest North Face hoodie. If you're after some new walking boots, make sure you wear them in before taking to the fells. Even a gentle lakeside stroll in brand new boots can leave you reaching for the plasters.
Head to Keswick or Ambleside for the widest selection of outdoor gear. Bowness-on-Windermere is all about 'boutique shopping', whilst Cartmel, home to some great Cumbrian culinary producers as well as Michelin star restaurant L'Enclume, is a foodie mecca.
3.) Try the native tipple
As the Uk's most popular walking destination, a refreshing pint in a great local pub nicely rewards a rambling accomplishment. There are over 20 great breweries in the Lake District, more than any other region in the UK.
The biggest and perhaps best known nationally is Jennings, Cockermouth. Coniston Brewery's Bluebird Bitter, named after the ill-fated crash of speed record breaker Donald Campbell in his Bluebird boat, is a popular one.
Hops adorn the ceiling of fine dining restaurant and pub, the Drunken Duck, where it's not just the ducks getting in on the beer action, their great range of ales, brewed onsite, are often named after four-legged pets, the likes of Tag Lag and Cat Nap.
If a brewery tour appeals, head to multi award-winning Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley, for a perfect beer experience. Relax over a 'long lunch' in their Beer Hall, sampling 'the perfect pint' whilst enjoying tapas designed to complement the ales and perhaps relax to some live music, what perfection.
4.) Visit a literary shrine
Enjoy the landscape and the homes that inspired some of the greatest creative minds in the world, from the creator of Postman Pat and Swallows and Amazons to painter William Turner, William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.
Step inside the study and take in the wonder of Grasmere, where some of the greatest poetry was written and inspired – Wordsworth's Rydal Mount and Dove Cottage.
Art lovers can indulge passions in a truly unique collection, from Pre Raphaelites and the Arts and Crafts Movement to the founding of the Welfare State, at John Ruskin's home, Brantwood.
No literary shrine is more captivating than that of Beatrix Potter's home, Hill Top farm, preserved just as she had lived, where you can see how the 34 acre working farm and surrounding landscape inspired so many of her lovable farmyard characters, like Jemima Puddleduck, Tom Kitten and Jeremy Fisher.
5.) Watch a local event
There's long been a rich creative life in the Lakes. Today, the region remains a hive of creative activity with an array of unique festivals and events across the calendar.
Whatever your accommodation, from Lake District holiday cottages to wild camping, tying your holiday up with a local event is certainly worth doing, especially when they are set in some of the best venues in the world, from a classical concert in a cave, a gig amidst the fells to poetry reading to the rhythm of water lapping on a lake.
Some particularly famous ones include Appleby Horse Fair, Cumberland Show, Lake District Summer Music Festival, Words on the Water, Kendal Mountain Festival and Kendal Calling, Cumberland wrestling and fell running at Grasmere Sports and the popular Cartmel Races.
If you have, in the words of Wordsworth, "an eye to perceive and a heart to enjoy," you'll find plenty to capture your heart and imaginations in the magical Lakes.
