- People here don't seem to know but NCT's fashion is supposed to look youthfulㅋIt kinda has that American sporty feels to it with a vibe of European? Since "youth" fashion and "sporty" fashion were all over high fashion shows, it became trendy in our country around this year too. Some brands include Gosha rubchinskiy and Vetements and other colorful brands like Stussy and Supreme became even more popular in retail shops. One of their representative piece is the aviator jacket. NCT's stylist is Nam Kungcheol, he's known to have worked with high fashion industries and be knowledgeable with the "youth" look. Here's a Singles issue that Seventeen did which was styled similarly to NCT. In my opinion this is all about trends

Ketzer (German for 'heretic') spent two months in the studio during the summer of 2015, recording their third album, Starless. From sounds of raging fury, to the echoes of calm and cleansing waves, Starless is a record that will take you on a journey that is unexpected, yet familiar at the same time. Thematically, the band explores the idea of religion v. reality– is there a truth in between? Ketzer explains, 'Centuries ago, humankind looked up into the star-filled night skies, questioning the universe and their lives within it. In order to find answers, mythology was born. But religion and myths cannot connect to the world we live in today. They have blinded the night skies – hence, we have become 'starless'.'

From (http://www.takafulikhlas.com.my/corporateProfile/takafulModel.asp)
Islam does not object to insurance per se. Nevertheless, as conventional insurance involves the elements of Gharar (uncertainty), Maisir (gambling) and Riba (interest) in the insurance contract, it contravenes Shariah principles.
Which is why Takaful seeks to bridge the areas deemed objectionable by the Shariah for the benefit of society. This allows a Muslim to have an alternative form of protection against the risk of loss due to misfortunes.
In line with international and local developments in the practice of Islamic financial protection services, Takaful IKHLAS has adopted the Wakalah system and has modelled our operations accordingly. Wakalah is a form of representative relationship between Takaful IKHLAS and a participant (Principal/Customer).
Takaful IKHLAS employs the following contracts to govern our business:
• Tabarru' contract where the participant agrees to donate a pre-determined percentage of contribution to the fund to provide assistance to fellow participants.
• Al-Wakalah contract where the participant authorises Takaful IKHLAS to conduct the affairs of the Risk and Special Fund on his/her behalf.
Takaful IKHLAS Model allows the use of intermediaries as a medium to better serve the customers' needs, payment of
surpluses and profits, where applicable to participants and calculation of shared benefits on a monthly basis.

Every one of Laurel's works is like an idea made of clay. Many of the works are made of dozens – even hundreds – of pieces of extruded porcelain or stoneware, and look like three-dimensional line drawings. Other pieces use thousands of hand-formed objects to capture a moment in time in the natural world. Her exhibition will include a spectacular wall of more than 1,500 porcelain cherry blossoms.

Alabama closes case on BCS title game
AUBURN, Ala. – In the climactic Apollo Creed-Rocky Balboa fight scene in "Rocky," the fighters clung to each other after the bell in mutual admiration and exhaustion.
"Ain't gonna be no rematch," Creed mumbled.
"Don't want one," Rocky responded.
Yet they made "Rocky II," and they fought again.
And now football imitates cinema.
Alabama and LSU punched each other's lights out in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 5, and at the end of that 9-6 alley fight, neither battered side probably would have relished a rematch. But now they have one, Jan. 9 in the Superdome. The BCS national championship will be at stake.
It's not official yet, of course. There is the formality of a final weekend of football to be played – a set of anticlimactic games that will put the lie to the bowl cartel's assertion that every week is a playoff. When the least-impactful final full Saturday of games ever is over, the table will be set for the final frontier in SEC worldwide domination.
The league will win its sixth consecutive national title by default after wiring the title game with both entrants. If America already was fatigued by Dixie's football superiority complex, well, sorry. Open wide for a large spoonful of some more.
LSU can contest the SEC championship game against Georgia wearing oven mitts and high heels, and it won't prevent the Tigers from playing for the crystal football – even a loss to the Bulldogs should be survivable. That was assured when the No. 1 team in the land blew out No. 3 Arkansas on Friday in Baton Rouge.
[Related: College football's Week 13 winners and losers]
And thanks to its 42-14 clubbing of Auburn, Alabama can sit out next Saturday and feel secure of its place in the title game. None of the other one-loss teams out there – Oklahoma State, Stanford, Boise State, Virginia Tech – can match the Crimson Tide's resume. Nor can unbeaten Houston.
"I feel like we kind of showed the world we are national championship contenders," Alabama linebacker Dont'a Hightower said. "I want to play anybody, but I would much rather play LSU in the national championship game."
In one of those nonsensical twists that only the BCS can produce, the team that did not even win its division is more solid in its position in the title game than the team that beat it earlier this month. If for some reason Georgia ransacks LSU by 40 in the Georgia Dome, we can re-open the discussion. Until then, the debate is over.
Bama-LSU II. Bring it on.
[Recap: Alabama 42, Auburn 14]
"A rematch is what a lot of people want," Tide linebacker Courtney Upshaw said. "It's what we want."
It's what the Tide gets after three turbulent weeks in which everything broke their way. They needed help, and they got it.
On Nov. 12, unbeaten Stanford lost to Oregon and unbeaten Boise State lost to TCU. On Nov. 18, unbeaten Oklahoma State was shocked by Iowa State. The next day, Oklahoma and Oregon removed themselves from any championship argument by enduring their second losses of the season.
Alabama players had harbored hope of a second shot at LSU, and suddenly the path was clear.
"I never had one doubt," cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. "My son [5-year-old Deandre] even told me we'd get 'em back."
All Alabama needed to do was avenge a crushing loss from a year ago to its most bitter rival. As usual, Saban demanded tunnel vision from his team – he banned them from watching the Arkansas-LSU game – and he got it.
[Photos: No. 2 Alabama routs Auburn]
The Tide delivered another in a season-long series of dominant defensive performances, holding Auburn's offense scoreless. The Tigers' two touchdowns were scored by their defense and special teams, and they had just one first down in the third quarter.
Alabama also scored six defensively on an interception return by DeMarcus Milliner, which came two plays after Kirkpatrick and Auburn's towel-waving mascot of an assistant, Trooper Taylor, exchanged words.
Kirkpatrick tightly covered Auburn's Emory Blake on a deep incompletion in front of Auburn's bench. After the play, Taylor yapped at Kirkpatrick, who turned and motioned Taylor to come onto the field and back it up.
"He told me they're going to keep coming at me," Kirkpatrick related. "But I treat him as family – he recruited me for Auburn. We were just joking around."
[Forde: LSU leaves no doubt en route to SEC title game]
Alabama took control of the game with touchdowns on consecutive offensive plays in the first quarter – a 41-yard flea-flicker pass from quarterback A.J. McCarron to Kenny Bell, then – after a shanked Auburn punt – a 35-yard pass from McCarron to tight end Brad Smelley.
Alabama got a career-high, 203-yard Heisman Trophy statement game from junior tailback Trent Richardson. Richardson has the vote of 2009 Heisman winner and former teammate Mark Ingram – and after this game, he finally received the endorsement of his coach.
Saban would rather sing show tunes on the Oxygen network than spend time during the regular season talking about individual awards. It runs counter to everything he preaches to his players all year. But with all of Richardson's Heisman hay in the barn, he put in a plug for his guy postgame.
"To me," Saban said, "Trent Richardson is the best football player in the country."
And just in case any voters needed a push in Alabama's direction, he also put in a plug for his team.
"This team only lost one game in overtime to a very good team that is No. 1 right now," Saban said. "I think we have a great football team, a great bunch of young men who have done a wonderful job, and they have played some really dominant football on both sides of the ball."
Saban votes in the USA Today coaches' poll, which cravenly keeps all ballots secret until the last one, which will be cast next week. Saban was asked whether he would vote his team into the title game.
"Yeah," he said, twice. "Y'all are going to get to see my vote. So now you know what it is."
The final vote will be as suspenseful as waking up early to see whether the sun will rise in the east. LSU and Alabama took care of their business. There's gonna be a rematch.

Ali who has been spent the last two years working at SCE Event Group as our Client Care specialist and SCE-office-get-it-done-make-it-happen person... has been offered an awesome opportunity working for the National Lacrosse League in Denver, Colorado. You may say, wait, Ali? Lacrosse? - But what you may not know is our lil Ali was a Division 1 Lacrosse All American when she attended UMASS. Lacrosse has been a large part of her life before, during and after college, and this opportunity is perfect for her.

Steyer focused on turnout, not persuasion — Obama should have acted sooner on climate, Carter says — Court tosses gas power plant permit
With help from Erica Martinson
FOCUS ON TURNOUT, NOT PERSUASION — STEYER: Tom Steyer's NextGen Climate Action group is focused more on getting the right people to the polls than on persuading voters to care about climate and energy issues in the midterm elections, the billionaire said on a panel Tuesday at the American Renewable Energy Institute Summit in Aspen, Colorado. "This is more about showing up than persuasion," he said. Midterm elections traditionally draw a fraction of the turnout of a presidential election year, Steyer said.
Story Continued Below
"It's much more important about who goes to the polls" than changing people's minds on climate change, he said. He added that "a lot of the people who most support energy and climate politicians" also tend to be the first to drop from the voter rolls in midterm years. "We are focused not so much on TV ads, but on the things that will be old-fashioned, 18th- century politics, trying to get local people to talk to local voters and citizens and why it's important enough for them to get off the couch and go down to the polling place in the second Tuesday in November," Steyer said.
CARTER — OBAMA SHOULD HAVE ACTED SOONER ON CLIMATE CHANGE: Jimmy Carter says that President Barack Obama is "doing the best he can on climate change," but that he wishes the president had done more sooner. "I was a bit disappointed he took a wait and see approach during his first five or six years in office, but he's moving now," Carter said yesterday at the summit. On the other hand, Obama faces much more partisan opposition from Congress than the 39 th president did during his term in office, Carter added. "The country was not divided into red and blue states then. Money didn't completely control the campaigns for Congress and president," Carter said. "I believe almost anything President Obama advocates, Congress is going to oppose." Carter will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at the American Renewable Energy Institute event.

NINTH CIRCUIT TOSSES NATURAL GAS PLANT PERMIT: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday tossed out a "Prevention of Significant Deterioration" permit issued by EPA to a planned 600-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant in California. EPA did not issue a PSD permit within one year of Avenal Power Center's application, and then later tightened applicable air standards. EPA eventually granted the permit using the old standards and argued that it has narrow powers to grandfather in some PSD applications. However, in a lawsuit brought by environmental groups, a three-judge panel in San Francisco said Tuesday that the law is clear. "Congress has spoken, and at least without applicable grandfathering provisions in the relevant regulations, EPA must enforce the regulations in effect at the time each Permit is issued, as the Clean Air Act clearly requires." The judges sent the matter back to a lower court for further proceedings. The ruling: http://1.usa.gov/1oH6T1G
Green reaction: "We're delighted with this victory for the environment, public health and the Clean Air Act," said Vera Pardee, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. "This decision once again makes clear that the EPA cannot exempt polluters at whim."
IRAN SIDESTEPPING WESTERN SANCTIONS: The New York Times reports: "Iran is finding a way around Western sanctions to export increasing amounts of an ultralight oil to China and other Asian markets, expanding the value of its trade by potentially billions of dollars a year. … Administration officials said that they were aware of the increased sales and had periodically discussed them with Iran's trading partners, suggesting that such purchases were not in the spirit of sanctions agreements. But the sanctions, they said, remained effective, with oil exports still down substantially from two years ago." NYT: http://nyti.ms/1p3Hsfn
GEORGIA DEM TOUTS NUCLEAR EXPANSION IN CAMPAIGN AD: Georgia Democrat John Barrow is touting his support for the Vogtle nuclear plant expansion underway in his district in a new campaign ad. The two new reactors are the first to be built in the U.S. in three decades, and are scheduled to come online starting in 2016. "I'm listening to Georgia. Georgians want good jobs, and I helped expand Plant Vogtle, deepen the Port of Savannah and protect Fort Gordon," says Barrow, a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee. The five-term congressman is one of the most targeted lawmakers this fall, particularly as one of the few remaining Blue Dog Democrats. Despite being targeted as a vulnerable incumbent in 2012, Barrow won 53.7 percent of the vote. The spot: http://youtu.be/9pcHZ0Gx4K0

The 30-second spot, which features a young, hard-hat-wearing employee named Gabby walking among shiny red trucks, is set to air in both Spanish and English across the state, which has become a battleground for fights over oil and gas regulation." http://bit.ly/1lT6hpZ
MINE MUST STILL PAY PENALTY, EVEN THOUGH MSHA FILED PAPERS LATE — FMSHRC: A Kentucky coal mine can't get out of paying a civil penalty because the Mine Safety and Health Administration was late filing some court documents, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission ruled yesterday. MSHA issued a citation in 2010 to the Armstrong Coal Company's Parkway Mine, and the company and MSHA eventually agreed to a $25,000 penalty. The government failed to submit a timely settlement motion with an administrative law judge, and also never explained why it missed that and other deadlines — but the judge approved the settlement anyway. Armstrong argued that approval of the settlement was unfair since MSHA never explained why it missed the initial deadline, but the commission wasn't buying it. "Armstrong simply seeks to escape liability for the amount it had agreed to pay as part of the settlement agreement. The Judge appropriately exercised his discretion by approving a duly negotiated settlement that quickly and effectively disposed of this matter." Decision: http://politico.pro/1BcyjXr
UTILITY BEGINS WORK ON FIRST ALL-SOLAR MICROGRID: Green Mountain Power, an electric distributor in Vermont, says it has begun construction on what will be the first microgrid powered entirely by solar panels and batteries. The $10 million system, slated to be completed by mid-December, will have 7,700 solar panels atop an old brownfield and will generate up to two megawatts of power, enough to power 2,000 homes in direct sunlight or about 365 year-round, according to the utility. Another 4 megawatts of battery storage can provide power for an emergency shelter at the local high school. "With this project, Vermont remains on the cutting edge of the renewable energy front," Gov. Peter Shumlin said in a statement.
BRISTOL BAY NATIVES BACK BEGICH: The Bristol Bay Native Corporation, which has about 9,600 shareholders in the state, has endorsed Democratic Sen. Mark Begich for re-election, citing his work on Native issues — including his opposition to the proposed Pebble Mine. "Senator Begich has demonstrated his ability to work across party lines to effectively advocate for and advance issues important to the people of rural Alaska," BBNC Board Chairman Joseph Chythlook said in a statement.
ARCTIC REP HEADS TO ALASKA: Robert Papp, the State Department's new special representative to the Arctic, is in Alaska for the next week for meetings with local officials, industry leaders, environmentalists, native groups and others. The meetings will focus on climate change and economic and security issues, and are meant to help prepare for when the U.S. becomes the chair of the Arctic Council next year. Papp, who was appointed to the position in July, was previously commandant of the Coast Guard.

Islamabad, Apr 12(ANI): The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has conveyed to Pakistan that the IMF is not an economic arm of the United States and will not be influenced by Washington with regard to giving relief to the country.
Earlier, during the Pak-US strategic dialogue, Islamabad had asked U.S. authorities to influence the IMF for a waiver in the power tariff increase of six percent due from April 1 and the implementation of the VAT from July 1, 2010.
However, the Fund said that it wants 100 percent compliance from Pakistan on the issue.
"Following this attempt of Pakistan, the IMF conveyed to Pakistan that it is not the economic arm of the US and wants 100 percent implementation. Otherwise, it will take back its entire amount from Pakistan, as it did with Russia," The News quoted a close aide to the adviser to the Prime Minister on finance and revenue, as saying.
" So, implement the programme in letter and spirit," the aide added.
The IMF's Director for Middle East and Central Asia, Adnan Mazari, is currently visiting Pakistan to settle these issues before the approval of the fifth tranche of 1.2 billion dollars under the IMF's 11.3 billion dollar bailout package.
The Fund mission has extended its stay till Tuesday, as it wants clear-cut commitments from Pakistan over compliance of its covenants. (ANI)

The shots from this entry are from early to mid March and come from the "Tres Xemeneies", or Three Chimneys park, just off Parallel Avenue. This is a part of the "free walls" project, and a popular destination for Barcelona's active skater scene, as well as a favorite spot to get pictures for this blog. Most of these are gone, as the image turnover on this popular painting site increases as the weather gets better. I've tried to include the three chimneys in the photos for a bit of perspective.
Today's shots come from the free walls at Tres Xemeneies, near Avinguda Paral·lel, some random wanderings through the neighbouring Raval, and a new location (at least for me): the Jardins de Walter Benjamin, which are just near the Port, and mark the last frontier before the city gives way to Montjuic Park. As suggested in the title, the "gardens" themselves are nothing to marvel at, but the walls, which separate them from the playground of a local school, are the main attraction.
The Raval was full of tributes to famous faces, among them Debbie Harry, Kafka, Dennis Rodman, the late Prince, Jesus Christ (by artist sm172), and Football Club Barcelona's favourite tax-dodging wunderkind, Neymar Jr.
As my geo-tagging feature on my camera app has become a bit unpredictable with the latest android update, my locations aren't quite a precise as before. That said, a good wander round the Raval/Poble Sec area does a body good!

A three-year-old child from London is one of hundreds of young people in the capital who have been tipped as potential future radicals and extremists.
As reported by the Evening Standard, 1,069 people have been put in the government's anti-extremism 'Channel' process, the de-radicalisation programme at the heart of the Government's 'Prevent' strategy.
The three-year-old in the programme is from the borough of Tower Hamlets, and was a member of a family group that had been showing suspect behaviour.
Many of the government's counter-extremism measures typically relate to older children and adults – buy very young children can be referred if authorities are concerned about the effect of their families on them.

nikon 85mm 1.4 ais
what camera are you using?
I dont believe AIS lenses meter on a d80, so it would be 100% manual. If you are alright with that, go for it. A pre-AI 90mm/f2.5 Vivitar is still my favorite lens for my d40. It'll make you good at manual focusing and guessing exposure.
cool. Im still learning, and I know with a crop body, itll be more reach, but I think for now, that is what I want, a little distance from the subject.
is this particular lens a good buy?
post how it goes.
im curious about ais lenses, but the no metering and manual focus would be annoying for me.
It's a great lens, but i think the price is too high
heres a review
u can get the 85mm f/1.4 AF for around 900
you think the price is too high for you to spend? or in comparison to other lenses? this is the only one I could find. Im still on the fence on pulling the trigger, but I also found that this is about the going rate.

i think we'll all be satisfied if it turns out that his ankle wasn't sprained, but the sheer power from slamming his foot in the ground shattered the bone in his foot
but if the sprained ankle is why gai gets to defeat kisame, then that's livable
fanservice for me <3

Anyway this sprained ankle development is exactly why Kishi's 2nd rate at plot development. This was the perfect excuse for something to go wrong with the 'perfect' 9 tails chakra and naruto not have enough time to go into sage mode or figure out what went wrong. Then after or even during the fight Naruto could combine Kyubi and Sage to 'overcome' the weaknesses of both.
Instead we get a lame reason for naruto to sit out, and probably an even more lame reason for naruto to combine sage and kyubi mode later. Not to mention Bee gets his chakra drained after Kisame was surprised attacked and he already knew Kisame could do that+ it didn't even 1shot him before?!!
Real sad move Kishi, real sad. . .

Typical, Naruto gets a powerup only to be at an immediate disadvantage. I guess this is the author's way of making Kisame have a more fair fight though. I'm not surprised considering the moment Naruto got the 9 tails under control and had some Rikudo Sennin/Yondiame stuff in him, people were crying 'NERF!'.
And Killerbee knocked out after Samehada sucks out all this chakra? What kind of BS is that. What's the point of being the 2nd most powerful Jinchuriki if he can be made completely useless like that?
Yamato locked in the waterfall. I mean come on, he is a master of wood and I'm guessing earth techniques. Make a hole and get out or something!
Next week: Guy goes 8 gates, which doesn't finish off Kisame, but also puts him on certain death. Then Naruto finally able to walk, goes and farts on Kisame for the win.

Ah I just got a whole cool seperate Idea for naruto's new Kyubi mode!!
Since Sasuke has sharingan and he can SEE chakra and how people are going to do attacks, this new power Naruto has could be the contrast to that ability as the 6 Paths Sage's other son had some kind of 'special chakra' instead of technical prowess.
Where I'm going with this is here: 6 Paths 'Chakra' will give naruto similar powers to sharingan precognition and chakra detection, but thru a spidey sense like empathy with surrounding chakra. Kinda like jedi sensing the force.
IMO this would be way cooler and synergistic since naruto learns thru experience with his body and would be able to glean much more 'instictual' information which is easyer for him to process than 'technical' information which is sasuke's style.

Ok I have to admit and agree with people here saying this is a bastard move by kishi. It all seems so convenient and fake and unbelieving for 2, possibly 3 reasons.
1. Naruto twisted his ankle. For the first part it is kinda convenient that it happened in the first place just so he couldn't get involved. And also it seems like complete bullshit. Kishi is saying that narutos body was able to handle the strain of moving at the speed that he did and handle the force of the impact of his arm hitting kisame, and he was able to get his foot stuck in the wall with a simple stomp. But he twisted it so easily. Also Yamato could and should have simplely used a simple earth element technique to assist naruto. But nooooooo!
2. Bee was taken out to easily and quickly. Samehada absorbed bees chakra in a couple secs not to mention hachibis. It seems crazy that all of their chakra was used up assisting naruto. But I guess that is what happened even though no indication was given as to how much it took out of him.
Possible 3. The cave entrance collapsing, yes it's possible but that's not my point. What difference does it make if it is or not? Is it to prevent the others from helping Yamato and Naruto? I don't think that's necessary at all seeing how naruto could simply punch the wall to crumble the rock around his feet. Making a splint should only take a could secs for Yamato. Clearing a path through the collapsed should be quick enough for either naruto in his current form or Yamato who is a earth and wood user.
And I just thought of a 4. Narutos ankle not healing. Considering kyuubi always did heal naruto, he healed a hole in the cheat in seconds. And since kyuubi us merely a huge mass of chakra with malice and a will of it's own, so shouldn't naruto having control over kyuubis chakra give him the same healing abilities as before, at least they better. It would be shitty to think that it was kyuubis will that healed naruto and not the chakra itself. Especially since kyuubis chakra when separated from from kyuubis malice and will is so full of life energy that yamatos wood was reacting to it and growing branches and leaves. So why can't/isn't naruto healing. Does he have to learn this ability?

Pretty good spoiler. IDK y every1 seems upset about the whole ankle thing. It seems like it may be a crucial point in the plot development and all. How did naruto get healed before? was it the kyuubi consciously healing him instead of just the chakra doing it automatically? If so, then that may explain why something like a sprained ankle would keep him out of a fight, seeing as he pretty much just made an enemy out the kyuubi so I doubt he'll be helping with something unless its life threatening. Actually, now that kyuubi is powerless he mite be the one to help madara capture naruto so that he can get a chance to become one with his chakra again and later try to backstab madara somehow to get free.. mehh maybe. lol

Doesn't Naruto heal super fast because of the Kyuubi's chakra? So a sprained ankle should last about 30 seconds right? Looks like Kisame is finally going to die, sending a scroll to Madara just seals his fate.

And I agree about how quickly KB dropped and the whole possible waterfall cave in dilema, Yamato should be able to earth tech or wood tech a way through considering he did bust a hole in orochis hideout with wood back in the day. Its possible that the reason why KB was such a pushover was because he used too much chakra assisting Naruto. But i'm surprised that he used that much, but it makes sense because KB told naruto he couldnt help him out anymore that naruto would be on his own.
I dont see kyuubi turning a new leaf anytime soon. Naruto is in control of his movements while in rikkodu mode and he needs to stay still to constantly gather sage chakra. so it doesnt work.
Maybe when naruto figures out how to transform into kyuubi like KB does into Hachibi he might be able to do it because his body would probably be completely still, acting as a medium and using his mind to stay in control. But with this rikkodu mode he has i wonder if its possible. He doesnt wear the cloak like he used to and like how KB does. So who knows.

- try to jump in water from 1 meters, or try from 100 meters, in the latter case water will feel hard like a stone
- in Formula 1 races there are different kinds of defenses on the tracks that have to slow down the cars, here the initial speed is the same and the car stops in the end, however the huge difference is in the time elapsed
- airbags in cars, they slow down the body in a much softer way than safety belts, at high speeds even the safety belt can kill you
So the problem is not only the power of impact but also the very short time given for a huge deceleration. In sage mode Naruto never reached such high speeds, so it's pointless to compare those slow movements to this case.
BTW was it anywhere stated that this is not already a combination of sage and kyuubi mode? I mean the way Naruto looks now is unique, none of the other demon hosts looked this way, maybe this is because sage mode combined with kyuubi mode looks like this. One minor reason for suspecting this is because i think that maybe Kishimoto doesn't want naruto to have frog eyes any more, frog eyes might be cool but now cool enough for his upcoming battle against Sasuke.

How I spent my summer .... Back in June a friend gave me a 68cc motor that was mounted in a trashed out aluminum mountain bike frame. The old bike had been sitting out in the weather and was missing some parts. Since the price was right I decided to move the motor over into another frame and see if I could create a sort of unique military style look. The project was inspired by pictures of a Swiss reserve army unit which rode non motorized mountain bikes. There's some video of that unit moving silently through the woods at a pretty good speed. They all come to a stop, hit the deck and open fire. Since I'm an out of shape American I figured that my military bike needed a motor. I found an old style 1980 vintage mountain bike frame. I wanted a frame with round steel tubing and a horizontal top bar to give me lots of room for the engine. I removed the front derailler shift mechanism and kept the rear six speed unit. I installed a chain tensioner on the motor drive side and added a guard over the motor chain. I didn't think that the motorcycle style gas tank I got with the motor looked right on my project, so I bought a luggage rack mount tank from ThatsDax. I really couldn't find a commercial luggage rack that looked sturdy enough, so I got out the oxy-acetylene torch and fabricated a luggage rack/tank mount from 1/2" square tubing and 1/4" steel rod. I've got a couple of black nylon MOLLE style bags that I can attach to the rack sides to carry some cargo. I did the full fender treatment to keep with the military styling. I used oversize hardware with blue loctite and I'll check the fittings for tightness before and during every ride. The seat is an gel filled unit to accomodate my almost 60 year old butt. I pained the bike with Krylon olive drab from their camo paint line. I applied a clear gloss topcoat which gives a nice semi-gloss peacetime finish and contrasts nicely with the black seat, grips and cables. The bike and rider are both on the "portly" side and the package tops out at about 25mph on a long straight according to my Schwinn speedometer. I'm going to rig up some lighting and I'll post again with those details. Until then - be safe Dave Lewis the Old Guy in Norman OK

The Walking Dead's Sunday night return was filled with plenty of mystery, surprises and intrigue. Not only did the episode leave fans with more questions than answers, but they even saw a rare smile from Rick Grimes himself.
But Rick's out-of-character smile wasn't the only touching moment from the episode. Just before the credits rolled, a tribute to someone by the name of James Heltibridle was shown:

Who Is James Heltibridle?
Considering that name doesn't belong to member of #TheWalkingDead's cast, the tribute has generated an understandable amount of confusion amongst fans. Who is James Heltibridle, and what happened to him?
James Heltibridle was actually an assistant in the props department on The Walking Dead. Tragically, Heltibridle was killed in a car accident whilst driving home from the set of The Walking Dead in November 2016.
Heltibridle had previously worked as a production designer on a couple of films, including the beautifully dark short film Death and the Robot. He was a former student of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, who are accepting memorial donations for their Film Art Department in Heltibridle's name:
Touching Tributes
Those involved in the show have paid tribute to Heltibridle on social media. Amongst them is Michael Rooker, who played Daryl's brother Merle in earlier seasons. He shared the following photo of the artist:
Michael Jaegers, an actor who frequently plays a variety of walkers on The Walking Dead, described Heltibridle's death as "a real loss to TWD family". He also posted a status on his official Facebook page:
Given the spectacular special effects shown in the mid-season return of The Walking Dead season 7, it seems a fitting episode to pay tribute to the beloved artist. RIP James Heltibridle.

The town received 11 proposals in response to an RFP for town center concepts and an overlay zoning district.
A selection committee will review proposals submitted by four firms at a meeting beginning at 9 a.m. Aug. 21, at Longboat Key Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
Presenting firms are Cooper Carry, Hoyt Architects, Keith & Schnars PA and Tindale-Oliver & Associates Inc.
The meeting will be open to the public, however, the public will not be permitted to make comments or question committee members.
An Urban Land Institute (ULI) panel recommended the town build a town center in the Bay Isles Road area last October.
In November, the town hired Sarasota architect Gary Hoyt, who designed the new Longboat Key Publix, to make up two sets of town center renderings.
The town purchased a 2.8-acre parcel of land near Publix for $1.5 million in March to jumpstart the town center concept.

Microsoft kills off its Nokia Android phones
White House may drop BlackBerry after testing Samsung, LG - Android Smartphones as BlackBerry remains heavily behind Android and BlackBerry has yet to find a plan to get back on track.Microsoft is planning to scrap its Nokia X Android efforts and replace them with Windows Phone in the future.
Microsoft is planning to scrap its Nokia X Android efforts and replace them with Windows Phone in the future. The news comes as part of today's announcement that Microsoft is cutting 18,000 jobs in the next year. In an email to former Nokia staff, Microsoft devices chief Stephen Elop details the company's renewed focus on Windows Phone. "In addition to the portfolio already planned, we plan to deliver additional lower-cost Lumia devices by shifting select future Nokia X designs and products to Windows Phone devices," says Elop. "We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products."
While many were surprised by Nokia's decision to produce Android-based handsets, the Nokia X debuted earlier this year, and Microsoft recently announced its successor the X2 just last month. The shift means any future Nokia X handsets will run Windows Phone, resulting in the end of Microsoft's Android efforts. Alongside the changes, Microsoft also appears to be focusing its mobile future on where Windows Phone is successful. "We will determine each market approach based on local market dynamics, our ability to profitably deliver local variants, current Lumia momentum and the strategic importance of the market to Microsoft," says Elop. "We will be particularly focused on making the market for Windows Phone. In the near term, we plan to drive Windows Phone volume by targeting the more affordable smartphone segments, which are the fastest-growing segments of the market, with Lumia."
BlackBerry - RIM CEO Thorsten Heins admitted during the interview with TheTelegraph that BlackBerry took "the conscious decision not to go for Android" when discussing the future of the software that will power the next-generation of RIM hardware.
While other hardware manufacturers are YET to decide their strategy for Android.
Readers have also to consider that Apple, IBM and Microsoft are active alliances of the NSA too.

text: I would like to chime in with a great solution. Let's stop blaming inanimate objects for the wrongdoings committed by people. Let's hold people accountable for their criminal acts instead of blaming the gun or the knife. Let's teach our children about accountability instead of enabling dysfunctional behavior by labeling it with the latest psychobabble and throwing drugs at it. Let's teach them that there is a difference between right and wrong and that when they do wrong they will be held accountable. Let's put violent criminals in jail and keep them there instead of letting them out on technicalities or paroling them to make room for non violent offenders. A very dear friend of my family was murdered several years ago. She was raped, sodomized with a framing hammer, and then beaten to death with the same hammer. The name of the convicted murderer is Brian Lord. He is currently in prison and may be released early on a technicality or perhaps granted a new trial because he was allowed to take the stand in his first trial when he insisted on doing so. If he was released to your neighborhood, how long should your waiting period be before you can buy a gun? How much mandatory training should you be required to take before you can have a firearm to defend your family? I'm sure that, as a victim of violence, you understand that the role of the cops is to investigate crime that has already happened. By the time you call 911 and the cops get the dispatch and drive to your house it is usually too late for them to prevent a crime. Yes, there are idiots who own guns, and cars, and knives, and hammers. Another persepective is this: over 99% of all violent crime is committed by men. Would you agree that all the idiots be neutered? Maybe be jofus g has the right idea? Seriously, ctyazfan, it's not the guns that are the problem. We are raising our children to believe that they can, litteraly, get away with murder. The average kid today watches 5 hrs. of TV pr. day. What's the message? What's the message in the music? What's the message in the video games? Most of the pop culture I see reaffirms the message that you can get away with anything. In what area are kids taught that there are consequences for their actions? A little story: When I was a kid, about 10 years old, my Dad caught a me and few of my friends having a BB gun war. Dad sent the other kids home without their guns and then he told me to take my BB gun to the barn and he would be there in a few minutes. When Dad got to the barn he didn't say a word. He took my BB gun and layed it on a chopping block and handed me a splitting maul and told me to smash it. When I thought I was done he told me that I wasn't finished yet and he made me bash the thing for about 10 minutes. Then he told me to take it to my room and hang it on the wall until he told me I could take it down. Dad asked me, "do you know what you just did?" "uh huh", I replied, trying to hold back my tears. " No, I don't think you get it! You not only put those kids in danger but you put your whole family in danger because if you had hurt one of those little bastards their parents could have sued us until we were pennyless!" I guess some kids learn the hard way, some kids learn quick, and some kids never have a chance because no one wants the responsibility of teaching them anything. This is what it was like to grow up before paintball was a sport. Sorry for the ramble. JonB

Well it finally happened somewhere circa Saturday 2.30pm.
The Meltdown.
Weeks ago I'd agreed that we have a braai with a bunch of old friends on Saturday afternoon at our place (Curse that indoor braai which leaves no excuse for cancelling). Up to this point it had been a hectic weekend and we really got home only then for the first time.
I started tidying up frantically in time for the influx... the Band (oh, such naivete) said "why are you doing that now?" and that, friends, was his gravest error.
I replied "because I want it done now. There are people coming over and I am not happy with the way this place looks."
"But," he replies enduring along that tragic walk to oblivion, "why now? you've been ok with it til now. Why now?"
And then I manifested.
"I have not been ok with ANY of it til now. But I leave things and suck it up and suck it up some more until I reach a point where I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!"
Which is when he gently steered me to the privacy of our bedroom (because, OBVIOUSLY, we were not alone). Poor harry was furiously vacuuming up a storm by this stage. Shame. But it wasn't that. It was J's dishwasher. And tumble dryer. And Shelves. All in my bluddy dining room for the past month and a half. (There is already an entire bedroom which is packed floor to ceiling which his stuff) It was the bicycles and surf boards in the entrance hall. It was Harry's 3 racks of dodgy wet washing (including the "leppies" - leopard print jocks. He's an odd one) in our braai room. It was the lack of space - physical and emotional I guess.
Well I went to my room and cried. BLUDDY HORMONES. While I heard The poor Band rearranging the house in fast forward. Then he came to rub my inconsolable back. I told him that there's not another woman on the planet who could survive this. Pregnant or not. And he said he's so sorry. He also didn't think it would be like this and for so long and he knows it's tough on me.
That is really all I needed.
Men: a tip. All we women want is for our feelings to be validated. We want to know that you understand or are at least trying to. And then we want to be taken on a shopping spree. Which is how The Band and I (who both hate the mall) spent Sunday. Buying me clothes. Then watching a movie. Then going out for dinner. Just the two of us.

Glad you managed to vent - it always helps to get it out in the open and clear the air I find. And a little retail therapy never hurts either ;-)

It'so true, we just want men to realise when they go too far or puch their luck. Of course they never realise, and so we need to make a performance to get them to know.

Jason Sarouhan traveled to San Diego recently to speak on a panel for the National Association for College Admissions Counseling's (NACAC) 71st National Conference. He talked about five "types" of students to help illustrate who is choosing to take a gap year, and why:
The worker, with high test scores and a high grade-point average.
The meaning-seeker, generally with high test scores and a lower GPA.
The pragmatist, who wants to attend college with a clearer focus.
The struggler, whose high-school experience has been clouded by learning differences.
The floater, who isn't fully engaged with life and may be on the immature side.

Mini USB PC Fridge Beverage Cooler
When you are at the office, time is crucial. You don't have time to breathe, much less mosey on over to the fridge, grab a fresh beverage, and drink it, oh no.
Thankfully, others have noticed the errors of this flawed system, and invented the USB refrigerator. This computer-powered desktop fridge has enough room for your favorite drink, letting you keep it cool and crisp while you dive into mind-numbing work -- or keep a soda ice-cold while you drink another.
Our "cooler" cooler requires no installation; just plug it into your PC and keep cool with a temperature controlled plate. The USB cord is 4 feet long, in case you work an ungodly distance away from your computer and can't spend a second to roll your chair over a bit. But hey, that's why it's a time saver, baby!
Note: The USB Fridge may not be tall enough to handle all cans, so freakishly tall energy drink cans (you know who you are!) may not fit.

'The Play's the Thing' for Prep-School Drama!
The boys in the Prep School Drama club, involved in the Shakespeare Schools Festival, went to The Montgomery Theatre to attend a half day workshop.
This was an opportunity for the students from various schools around the city to share their 'work-in-progress' of the various Shakespeare plays they are preparing to perform in November. Our boys have been very busy rehearsing their roles in an adaptation of Hamlet and they were delighted by the opportunity to performing in front of an audience as well as experiencing the stage.
The boys were able to benefit from useful acting tips and techniques from professional actors and directors. They also enjoyed watching Greengate School perform a scene from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Later they were asked to critique the performance they saw and come up with some ideas to improve performances.
Finally there were some extremely loud vocal and physical exercises with a cool down to end the workshop! The boys returned to school invigorated and inspired.
All are welcome to come and enjoy our Hamlet production and tickets are available from the Montgomery Theatre for the performance on Tuesday 10 November.

Voodoo at the Mint (Live)
- Artist: Shane Fontayne
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 6/6/2006
|your cart is empty
Chances are you have heard Shane Fontayne playing or seen him perform live. As a guitar player, Shane has shared the stage and studio with an impressive list of rock music's elite, including Bruce Springsteen, Sting, U2, Paul Simon, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams and Rod Stewart. He has toured and recorded with Marc Cohn since 1998. In 2003, Shane was invited to accompany Bono, The Edge, Elvis Costello, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige, Patti LaBelle and B.B. King with Wynonna at the pre-Grammy Music Cares event in New York honoring Bono as "Person of the Year." 'Voodoo At The Mint' is a live recording - except for the last track, 'Heartland,' (a bonus track unavailable anywhere else). It was recorded at The Mint in Los Angeles, June 11, 2003. This show was a party to celebrate the release of Shane's first solo effort, 'What Nature Intended.' Earlier that day, KCRW, the influential Santa Monica radio station, broadcasted a live, in-studio performance of Shane's. Also, performing with Shane on 'Voodoo At The Mint' are: Chris Botti (trumpet), Jon Ossman (bass and guitar), Jennifer Condos (bass), Karen Teperberg (drums) and David McKelvey (harmonica). The closing song on 'What Nature Intended,' titled 'You'll Never Know,' states: 'And we are here tonight by way of everywhere we've been.' Shane adds, 'As wonderful as my career has been so far, it's purpose, ultimately, has been to lead me to this point in time and to prepare me for what amounts to a whole new career.' The parallel paths of musician/accompanist and singer/songwriter merged with the completion of 'What Nature Intended,' and continue with the live and luscious 'Voodoo At The Mint.' Blending lush, layered instrumentation, intricate melodies and thought provoking lyrics, 'What Nature Intended' has been referred to as an "album of songs that actually live, breath, and talk." [Nic Harcourt, host of KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic] Shane Fontayne was born and raised in the suburbs of London. During the 1960's, profoundly influenced by the British pop and R'n'B of the day, and most particularly The Beatles, Shane picked up his first guitar at the tender age of nine to emulate his heroes. The first song he ever wrote, at 12 years old, he pitched to Giorgio Gomelski [The Yardbirds' manager]. "My brother and I found ourselves backstage at the Marquee Club being introduced by Giorgio to Paul Samwell-Smith [The Yardbirds' bassist until mid-1966]. I brought my guitar, and I sat down and played them my song. Giorgio said he wanted to make a demo of it, so I spent the next three months hounding him on the phone," Shane recounts, chuckling at the bravado of his adolescent self. "I was invited back for a second visit, where I met Jeff Beck. He let me play his Telecaster. It was the first time I'd ever played one." You can hear Shane's Fender Telecaster, also his Fender Stratocaster, Gretsch Tennessean and Takamine nylon string acoustic on 'Voodoo At The Mint.'

Dr. Uzi Landau, Israel's Minister of National Infrastructure, warns that in the event of a unilateral United Nations declaration of a Palestinian state, he will call upon Israel to annex the Jordan Valley and large, Jewish populated blocs in the West Bank:"We'll have to take care of our interests," Landau told Inside Israel's Mordechai I. Twersky in a wide-ranging interview April 21. "We'll have to take protect ourselves. If such a thing happens, I'm going to suggest to my government to extend out sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and over the highly-populated blocs we have in Judea and Samaria, just to start with."

THOUGH allegedly under threat, the British curry house must remain as one of the country's best loved institutions.
And what fine places they are. The promise of hot curries and cold beers is usually enough to tempt me through the doors.
And if that's not enough, the exotic but equally familiar and comforting smell wafting across the pavement will definitely do the trick.
Millennium in Framwellgate Moor is one such fine institution, and given how busy it was on the Saturday night we visited, the good people of the area clearly agree.
Situated in Front Street, from the outside the Bangladeshi restaurant is nothing to write home about, looking more like a takeaway than a sit-down restaurant (though it does that too if you would rather munch your poppadoms while in your pyjamas).
On the inside it looks a little dated. With the decor of a slightly old fashioned hotel, it's certainly not as slick as many more modern establishments.
However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the same can be said of curries so I was far more interested in the menu than the wallpaper.
It's a tome of several pages, with a long list of many familiar favourites as well a good selection of interesting sounding chef's recommendations.
After some deliberation we went for a tandoori themed starter, with my dining companion choosing the mixed kebab (£4.95) while I went for the king prawn (£6.45).
Both were delicious. The sweet, spicy, smoky marinade was just what we were expecting and the meat tender. The chicken kebab in particular was quite spectacularly soft and juicy.
For our main courses we ordered a veritable feast. My choice was a Sri Lankan chicken curry (£7.80) . Described as hot like a Madras curry, but with a coconut flavour it ticked a lot of boxes for me.
Sitting on the list of fairly hot curries (on a scale of mild, medium and very hot) I was slightly concerned the spice might get the better of me.
I need not have feared. In fact, if I had been on the hunt for something verging on fiendish I think I would have been disappointed.
I do love a bit of spice. Dinner guests of mine have sometimes voiced a theory I may have deadened my taste buds with my frequent use of chilli as a seasoning. I'm not sure about that, but I wasn't feeling the heat with this dish.
In fact, our other dish - Chicken Tikka Nashid (£10.70) - marinated meat with special spice, red wine and mango, seemed much hotter.
Regardless, both were very tasty. The Sri Lankan had more of a savoury taste while the chicken tikka was much sweeter.
We shared a side dish of chana (or coconut pilao - £3.50) which was a super accompaniment and was plentiful enough so we did not regret not getting one each.
However, I point blank refuse to share my naan bread. I always consider the pillowy softness to be one of the high points of an Indian meal and quite frankly essential to mop up every last splash of sauce.
I have a bit of a sweet tooth and my favourite is peshwari, stuffed with delectable almonds and sultanas, (£2.80) which I chose on this occasion.
My partner also went for a peshwari option, but chose the thinner chapati bread (£1.60).
The only let down of the evening came at the end of the meal.
Normally at an Indian I wouldn't bother getting a dessert, but having been handed a menu, my eye was caught by the magical words "mango ice cream".
It's one of my favourites, evoking memories of licking cones of the stuff on hot evenings on holiday.
Alas, this did not live up to my expectations. It should have packed a fruity punch but instead was a bit of a muted wet rag.
Meanwhile, the crystallised texture only served to make the pud that little bit more disappointing. The pistachio version, though a very pretty shade of green, was similarly disappointing.
By this stage we were just about ready to roll home so we got our bill, which came to a total of £64.60 for three courses for two, including two beers.
Considering both the quality and quantity of food, we thought the meal was good value.
We were more than happy with the service, which was polite and efficient without being pushy. The food arrived fairly quickly, but we didn't feel like we were being rushed and we were able to replenish our drinks without waiting too long.

text: So I've been a reader of this website for quite sometime, and I finally broke down and made an account because I need some help from members like you on my next device. I am an anti-Apple person, so clearly I've been wanting an Android phone for some time now. Problem is, I'm AT&T. Really my only option for awhile was the Nexus One, but I don't think I have $500 in my budget to spend on a phone. Then I saw that the Captivate was soon to be on the market, and so far the reviews have been good. But I really need some tech opinions here. My only problem with the Captivate is the UI, which is one of the main reasons I've wanted the Nexus One. I've watched so many videos of the cyanogen mods and how that phone is just a beast. I'm wondering if it will be an option for this phone. Is there anyway to delete the UI to make this phone more into a Nexus One type machine, or am I stuck? Or does it even make a difference? Thanks in advance for the replies.

PROBLEM gamblers will be forced to hand over their jackpot wins to charities under tough new harm-minimisation laws being considered by the state government.
The laws would apply to gamblers who have completed a self-exclusion agreement with a club, hotel or casino.
Do you think this measure would work? Leave a comment below
The move follows discussions between ClubsNSW, counsellors and the state government, with the proposal to go to cabinet early next year.
Prize forfeiture was a key recommendation of the Productivity Commission in its 2010 report into gambling and was also supported by the federal Parliamentary Joint Select Committee on Gambling Reform.
Gamblers who cash out $2000 or more in winnings in NSW must do so via a cheque.
Under the changes, staff processing the cheque would first check if the person was on a self-exclusion program. If the gambler is on the list, the winner would be forced to hand over the money to a charity for gambling support programs.
The move is strategic for the clubs industry, which is desperate to avoid another costly bloodbath over pokies reforms such as the one it had with the federal government over the ill-fated mandatory pre-commitment scheme.
Clubs Australia executive director Anthony Ball said the idea came from discussions between clubs and gambling counsellors about what causes some problem gamblers to breach self-exclusion agreements: "We know sometimes a problem gambler will breach their self-exclusion agreement in a moment of weakness, especially in the first six months of the program.
"Problem gamblers overwhelmingly state the reason for this breach is the misguided belief that a big jackpot win is just around the corner.
"These changes would be a road block for problem gamblers breaching their self-exclusion agreements."
Hospitality and Racing Minister George Souris confirmed the government was examining the proposal: "The government welcomes innovative ideas from the industry and will give the proposal due consideration."
The clubs industry is rolling out online technology to venues across all states and territories, which will enable gamblers to self-exclude from up to 25 separate clubs.
ClubsNSW also wants to allow families to be able to legally exclude a relative with a gambling addiction.
According to the latest figures from the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority, the vast majority of gamblers on a self-exclusion list had breached the order.
Sydney psychiatrist and punter, Dr Clive Allcock welcomed the idea.
"Taking away the possibility of winning a prize is an excellent idea, because it's the core of what makes a gambler go back to a club," he said.
