Part Number: J1208MHA UPC: 662679565015 Weight: 0.07
•Satin finish provides corrosion resistance and a slip resistant grip. •6 point box end allows for large wrench to fastener contact area which helps prevent rounding of the fastener. •Anti-Slip Design (ASD) open end. -Patented locking grooves help prevent the wrench from slipping off the fastener when turning. -The arched surfaces are designed to spread the contact forces over a greater area. -Loads are kept off the corners of the fastener which helps prevent fastener rounding. •Metric sizes 9mm and smaller do not have ASD feature. •Box ends incorporate the TorquePlus™ system. •Proto® TorquePlus™ wrenches are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials. •The TorquePlus™ design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy wrench engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners. •The TorquePlus™ configuration employs a radius-corner design, shifting contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributing contact stresses over a large area of the box end, minimizing slippage. •The TorquePlus™ internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Volkswagen calls its Chattanooga plant a global model for energy conservation and efficient production. But executives remain tightlipped about whether the facility is in line to produce a new crossover SUV for the German automaker.
A decision about production of the new model could come as soon as the quarter beginning in July. Local and state officials hope the company decides to double down on the plant that currently employs about 2,500.
A delegation of local officials traveled to VW headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, this month to make the case for expanding the Chattanooga plant, which began making the Passat sedan in 2011.
Economic incentives are likely to play a large role in the decision, just as they did when Chattanooga beat other sites for the plant in 2008.

Looking for the perfect gift for your Valentine? Whether it's for a wife, mother, best friend, or neighbor, our gift guide will provide great ideas to help you find just what you're looking for.
1. Does she need to be pampered? Get her a gift certificate to a spa where she can choose from an array of health and beauty treatments. A facial, massage or pedicure are sure to please.
2. Is she into the latest gadgets? Look for a digital camera that would best suit her needs and pair it with a digital picture frame. Pre-load the frame with pictures of friends and family so that she has something to enjoy.
3. What woman doesn't love jewelry? Look for a necklace or a bracelet that you think she would like, that way you don't need to worry about her ring size or whether or not her ears are pierced. Think about getting her birthstone or something personalized like an engraving.
4. Could she use a getaway? Plan a weekend to a nearby resort, ski lodge, or scenic town. Take care of all of the travel arrangements beforehand so all your special lady has to do is show up.
5. Does she drink tea or coffee? Get her an antique tea set with an infuser and some loose tea so that she can brew it herself. If she's a coffee lady find some imported gourmet coffee as well as an electric grinder and French press or Cappuccino maker.
6. Does she like to cook? Sign her up for some cooking classes. Look for an offering that teaches preparations for her favorite cuisine. Pair this with a cooking book and some specialty ingredients to get her started.
7. How about a change from the gym? Locate the nearest yoga studio and ask about a gift certificate or a small package deal. Purchase a yoga mat and a cute yoga outfit.
8. Is she a working girl? How about a new briefcase, blackberry or fancy pen? She will definitely appreciate the accessory and think of you when she's at the office.
9. A night on the town? Buy tickets to a play or concert that you can attend together. Dress, make dinner reservations and enjoy the special night.
10. Does she like to read? Say it with words, and they don't even need to be your own. Pick out a novel or a book of poetry that are meaningful to you and write a brief inscription on the inside cover. That way she'll think of you and the special holiday every time she opens the book.
11. Need a last minute gift? You can't go wrong with an American Express gift card, that way she can buy whatever she wants. Make a date to go shopping with your lady.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
It's the opportunity that young baseball players dream of. Your team trailing in the bottom of the ninth inning, down to your last strike with the bases loaded and two outs.
Senior outfielder Mark Payton faced this situation and the daunting task of forging a comeback when he stepped up to the plate during with Texas trailing Baylor 4-2 in the teams' series opener on April 4.
Once he made contact with the ball, he knew he hit a double. He ended up hitting a three-run double, giving Texas a 5-4 win.
While the finish to the game was dramatic, Payton's heroics are no surprise. The senior has been a consistent asset to the Longhorn offense all season.
"We're getting better every day and that's something we said from day one," Payton said. "We want to come out here and get better every day and just put in everything you've got. That's all you can ask for. I'm really happy with how we're playing right now and we're going to keep moving forward. "
Selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 16th round of the 2013 MLB Draft, Payton decided to return to Texas for his senior year. Being a professional baseball player was his dream for a long time, so it wasn't easy turning down the opportunity.
But he returned to Texas because he knew there was work to be done. He wanted to help his team return to national contention.
"We [the seniors] wanted to come back and get this program back on the national level where it needs to be," Payton said. "Really we want to be the leaders of this team and teach these young guys the right way."
He is doing that in both his attitude and performance on the field.
Payton is currently leads the Big 12 in on-base percentage (.480) and is tied for the lead in triples (5). He ranks third in batting average (.361) and third in walks (28). He has reached base safely in 73 consecutive games dating back to last season, which is the longest active streak nationally.
Payton and senior pitcher Nathan Thornhill were both drafted last season. But both had a bad taste in their mouths from when the baseball team struggled in its previous two years.
Thornhill is enjoying watching Payton's success this season from the dugout.
"I just get to watch Mark be Mark," Thornhill said. "When I'm pitching, having a guy like that in centerfield and having a guy like that in the lineup, you know you're going to get some kind of a spark from him. The younger guys see that and they want to be like Mark."
His success on the field has provided a ripple effect for the offense. Over the last 13 games, Texas is averaging 5.8 runs per game and hitting .301 as a team with a .402 slugging percentage and .406 on-base percentage.
"He is the best baseball player I've seen in person," Thornhill said. "He doesn't swing at bad pitches. He's one of the smartest baseball players I've ever seen on the field. He can throw people out. He knows what to do on defense. He's a true captain and a leader."
Thornhill said Payton has improved drastically since they arrived on campus in 2010. Unlike many batters, Payton hasn't changed his swing so he has been consistent batting all four years. Thornhill said Payton's maturity and baseball intelligence has drastically improved since they began playing at Texas.
Head coach Augie Garrido agrees that Payton's baseball intelligence is outstanding.
"I believe in him and I believe that he'll make good choices," Garrido said. "He's got one of the best baseball IQs at the college level that I've been around and I've been around some really good ones. He's one of the best. He knows when to bunt, he knows when to take the pitch. He knows when to hit it."
Professional baseball waits for Payton at the end of this season. But he isn't allowing himself to think about that. Right now, he's focusing on Texas.
"We're winning ball games, we're winning conference series," Payton said. "It's going well so far. It's a good feeling. You'd rather go 0-for-4 and win the game than go 4-for-4 and lose the game. It feels really good right now."
Payton admired Cal Ripken Jr. and Derek Jeter growing up. As he got older, Payton was drawn to Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Both he and Payton stand at 5-foot-8.
"He's not the tallest guy, he's not the biggest guy," Payton said. "He's a gamer and he grinds every game. He's the hardest worker in the game, I believe. That's the guy you want to be on your team. You want to be that guy that everyone loves and be the first guy at the ballpark and the last one to leave. Everyone knows he's going to give everything he's got and that's what I want to do."
Neither Payton nor Pedroia are the biggest players on the field. But at bats like the one that Payton had against Baylor prove that, like Pedroia, Payton knows how to play big.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" flew into theaters on owls' wings 15 years ago this week, just over two months after 9/11.
The first film based on J.K. Rowling's wildly successful book series offered a modicum of escape amid a terrible period. Yet its story of good, evil and all in between, even played out largely through children, offered a reminder of the turmoil outside the theater.
The British author's new "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" movie series arrives Friday – not, thankfully, in the wake of more unfathomable terror. Still, "Beasts" dawns amid a new era of uncertainty and fear among many on both sides of the Atlantic.
Once again as Thanksgiving approaches we turn to Rowling, whose wizardry rests in transporting us to another world without letting us fully forget our own.
Unlike the "Potter" flicks, the new series isn't based primarily on books, giving us little knowledge going in. The bigger differences come in time and place: The story of Rowling's new hero, Newt Scamander, kicks off with his adventures in 1926 New York, just three years before the Great Depression triggered the darkest period of the previous century.
Depression-World War II-era tumult inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" books to which Rowling's writings are sometimes unfavorably compared. Her Hogwarts might not be as complex as Tolkien's Middle Earth. But she tackles the linked threats of fascism (Voldemort and his crew) and intolerance (the oppression of Dobby, the hate directed at "mudbloods") on her own terms.
Her stories – and her messages – are accessible and deliver an emotional wallop, thanks in great part to her young protagonists.
It seems we can expect similar themes to emerge through Scamander, who lives at a time when hate forces wizards into hiding. As Rowling recently told The New York Times: "I hope when people see the movie, they will understand that it grew out of things that are very important to me in the world at the moment."
The first "Potter" film made more money than any movie released in 2001, edging out "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." It also heralded years of Thanksgivings and summers of new installments, culminating in 2011's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part II," that year's highest grossing picture.
"Beasts" reportedly is the first of five films, promising years of magic to come at a time when we could a spell from the muggle life.

Spirit is contagious, at least that is what the teachers, students and staff at Trimble County Middle School would say. The week of Sept. 17-21 was named Spirit Week at TCMS. During this week there were scheduled themes for each day. Everyone was encouraged to participate. The cheerleaders came up with the themes and set different incentives for those who showed the most school spirit.

The Greenest Office in America
Adobe has turned its headquarters into a towering example of environmentalism - and is saving millions of dollars in the process.
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- An employee at Adobe Systems e-mailed Randy Knox III in April, wondering if the individual coffee creamers in company break rooms were more wasteful than one big container. For Knox, Adobe's director of real estate, facilities, and security, the tiny detail warranted immediate action. Adobe is now conducting research to determine which type of containers will produce the least waste.
"With the help of 5,500 employees, we manage to find these kinds of things," Knox says.
(See how the greenest office in America works.)
The coffee creamers are just one example of the massive enviro-friendly overhaul under way at Adobe (Charts). In June the $2 billion software maker became the first company to receive a platinum award from the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council under its current Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. (An Environmental Protection Agency building was rated platinum under the pilot program.)
That makes Adobe's San Jose headquarters the greenest corporate building on record in the United States. Even more impressive is that Adobe earned the honor by retrofitting its existing office towers (about 1 million square feet); most of the 151 buildings that have received the council's gold rating are new structures.
By installing everything from motion detectors to waterless urinals, Adobe has reduced its electricity use by 35 percent and its gas consumption by 41 percent since 2001, at the same time that its headcount has swelled 80 percent.
More important, Adobe is proving that building green isn't just good corporate citizenship; it's plain good business. To date, the company has invested about $1.1 million in 45 energy-efficiency projects, yielding nearly $1 million in annual savings, including about $350,000 in energy rebates.
"This isn't some pie-in-the-sky kind of thing the enviros are pushing," Knox says. "It really works."
Next: View the gallery to see examples of how Adobe saved green by going green.

Product Description 2010 42" Zariel Wakeskate:
From the creators of the original compression molded wakeskate - the heavy weight guardian of the water is coming in at over 14 lbs. Reed Hansen needed a stockier skate for the board control he was looking for on the water and leaving it. Ronix spent two seasons designing a compression molded bi-level wood skate with the buoyancy of your favorite wood deck, and the durability of that wakeboard you have had in the garage since 97. This bi-level shape creates a consistent, quicker swing weight than a traditional single level skate yet still has the stability for somebody just taking the drop

SANFORD — Overindulging has long been associated with celebrations and holidays, a tradition that includes risky drinking and a loosening of limits that people usually place on their own behavior and what they tolerate in children and teenagers. Not surprisingly, holiday weekends result in sharp increases in alcohol-impaired highway crashes, emergency department visits, and other alcohol-fueled incidents that are no cause for celebration.
Perhaps young people follow the lead of adults who are engaging in excessive drinking. Or maybe they merely take advantage of unsupervised, unstructured time away from school to experiment with alcohol and other things they may not yet recognize as posing serious threats to their well-being. Whatever the cause, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has found that minors are more likely to begin drinking in December, June, or July than during other months. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) consistently reminds us, "Teens are at far greater risk of death in an alcohol-related crash than the overall population, despite the fact they cannot legally purchase or publicly possess alcohol in any State."
This holiday season, the Safe and Healthy Sanford Coalition and the Drug Free Communities Task Force is encouraging people to take three simple steps to ensure their holiday celebrations don't end in tragedy.
■ Plan ahead; be sure to designate a sober driver before the party begins.
■ If you will be drinking, do not plan on driving. Even one drink too many increases the risk of a crash while driving a motor vehicle. If you are impaired, find another way home. Use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member.
■ Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel. If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement. Your actions may save someone's life, and inaction could cost a life.
"The holidays should be a time for celebration, not tragedy," said Connie Roux, the substance abuse prevention coordinator for Goodall Hospital. "Please help us make our roadways safe by never driving after drinking. Remember, Buzzed Driving is Drunken Driving, so never drink and drive."
If you would like to know more about the Drug Free Communities Task Force, please contact Roux at email@example.com or Megan Walsh at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BEVERLY, Mass. – Looking to build off of yesterday's momentum, the 22nd ranked Beacons (4-2) swept their final two opponents to close out the Endicott College Invitational with a perfect 4-0 record. On Saturday, the Beacons defeated Salve Regina College by the score of 3-1 and Middlebury College by the final of 3-0 at the Post Center.
Against Salve, the Beacons came out firing winning the first two sets by the scores of 25-13 and 25-10. However, midway through the third set, the Beacons hit a wall which allowed Salve to take over the scoreboard. Down but not out the UMass clawed their way back to make it 23-24. Unfortunately, Salve would hold off the late rally to pullout the 23-25 win.
That loss, would be the only one of the remainder of the afternoon as the Beacons ripped through Salve Regina in the fourth set to take a 25-16 victory.
Match two featured a rematch of the 2010 NCAA Division III New England Regional tournament between the Beacons and Middlebury, and just like last year the Beacons had the Panthers number, this time winning the match in three straight sets.
The closest Middlebury ever came to beating out the Beacons was in the first set. UMass Boston still managed to earn a five point (25-20) victory to take the early 1-0 lead. The last two sets were decided by much larger margins as the Beacons walked away with a 25-11 win in the second set and a 25-10 win in the third set.
Fueling the Beacons first win of the day was junior Shannon Thompson (Moorpark, CA) who finished the four set match with a .512 attack percentage and match-high 27 kills. Match two belonged to Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, CA), who was just dominant from every part of the court. The sophomore drove home a total of 15 kills on 27 attempts and did not have a single error marked against her. She also led the Beacons defense with a combined 16 digs.
Senior setter Cassy Hanneman (Denver, CO) was solid all afternoon as she totaled 84 assists respectively. In the opener, Hanneman just five assists short of tying her single match record of 55 that she at MIT in 2009.
Volleyball will open up Little East Conference play next Saturday at Eastern Connecticut State University. The Beacons will being their pursuit for a third straight conference title in Willimantic. Start time for that match is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The Congress shall have Power . . . To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; – Article I, Section 8
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. – Article II, Section 2
It's not a good feeling agreeing with Dennis Kucinich. Finding myself on the same side of an issue as Kucinich makes me seriously reconsider my opinion. But as they say, even a bind, deaf, paralyzed, rabies-afflicted squirrel finds a nut every now and again.
It's less distressing to disagree with Charles Krauthammer. He's usually spot on, but he tends to go off the rails when it comes to foreign policy. Not always, mind you, but in Krauthammer you can see the legitimate difference between neoconservatism and traditional conservatism. Last night he had this to say about the War Powers Act and President Obama's
war hostilities kinetic military action in Libya:
KRAUTHAMMER: I understand why Congress wants to retain prerogatives, as does the president. I'm not surprised that Durbin would act this way. I am surprised that so many Republicans are jumping on the war powers resolution. They will regret it. If you have a Republican in office, you have isolationists Democrats trying to restrain his exercise of his powers under constitution and the Republicans aren't going to like it.
I would not truck in war powers resolution. I have also think the administration's defense of what it is doing is extremely week and misguided. Obama's answer essentially is well, the resolution is out there. But it's not relevant because it isn't really a war, which is absurd.
BAIER: We're not in hostilities.
KRAUTHAMMER: Right. What he should say I, like my other predecessor, I do not recognize the legality of this act and its authority over the presidency. That's where he should make his stand.
BAIER: When he was Senator Obama he spoke the opposite.
KRAUTHAMMER: And as a president he is implicitly supporting the resolution saying it doesn't apply here. It implies if it were a real war, as he pretends it's not. I have to comply. No president ought to do that.
I agree with him with regards to Obama's duplicity. I also share his skepticism about the War Powers Act. But he's wrong about the rest. Continue Reading

STOCKTON - Three men sustained gunshot wounds to their legs in a span of about 90 minutes late Thursday night and early Friday morning in Stockton, including one man who accidentally shot himself, authorities said.
STOCKTON - Three men sustained gunshot wounds to their legs in a span of about 90 minutes late Thursday night and early Friday morning in Stockton, including one man who accidentally shot himself, authorities said.
A 46-year-old man told police he was walking near South Sutter and East First streets about 10:50 p.m. Thursday when another man accused him of kicking rocks on him. An argument ensued. The victim said he tripped and then heard a loud pop before realizing he had been shot in the leg. The gunman fled in an unknown direction. He was described as a Latino man 40 to 45 years old with black hair, a gray jacket and a gray beanie, police said.
Less than an hour later, in the 2000 block of East Church Street, officials said Julio Zuniga, 27, admitted to police that he accidentally shot himself in the leg. He was treated at a hospital for his injury and arrested on suspicion of negligent discharge of a firearm, authorities said.
At about 12:25 a.m. Friday, a couple was walking near Center Street and Harding Way when they heard a gunshot, police said. After realizing he had been shot, the man flagged down a passing motorist, who took him to a hospital for treatment.
There was no description of the gunman, authorities said.
STOCKTON - Police have arrested a third man suspected of carrying out a morning crime spree last week in Stockton, authorities said.
Community Response Team officers and members of the multiagency countywide gang task force helped detectives locate Ben Garcia, 30, about 10 p.m. Thursday near East Hammer and West lanes, police said. Garcia, a parolee at large, was arrested on suspicion of firearm possession, drug possession, robbery, carjacking, assault with a firearm and other crimes, authorities said.
Last week, authorities arrested Daniel Francis, 25, and Sean Lobosco, 32, on suspicion of numerous crimes, including robbery, carjacking, assault with a firearm, gun possession and drug possession. Police believe the three men were among those responsible for a home invasion robbery, a carjacking, a shooting and a drug heist that occurred Feb. 1 over a span of about 45 minutes.
Police said they are still searching for a woman, 25-year-old Jean Tanguileg, in connection with the same crimes.
RIPON - The Manteca Police Department on Friday identified Jason Stowers, a 32-year-old Manteca resident, as the man who was shot during a four-hour standoff with authorities Tuesday at Van Unen Miersma Propane Inc.
According to police, Stowers crashed a car into a propane tank, shot a person with a pellet gun made to resemble a semiautomatic handgun, pointed the weapon at police and was shot by officers after barricading himself in the cab of a tanker truck. He was treated for a non-life-threatening injury.
Stowers was arrested on suspicion of brandishing a replica firearm, carjacking, vandalism and resisting arrest, authorities said.
Police said they are waiting on toxicology results before determining whether Stowers was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
STOCKTON - Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones swore in Officer Kenneth Pavey on Friday.
Pavey, a June graduate of the Sacramento Police Academy, will be assigned to the Field Services Division.
Jones also welcomed new dispatcher Sarah Guerrero, who will start her training in the Communications Center.
Guerrero previously worked in University of the Pacific's Public Safety Center.

This past Saturday (Worse. Derby. Result. Ever.) I was drinking mint juleps and playing an unruly amount of Wiffle Ball (Tommy and I won 18-8) instead of tweeting. If Wiffle Ball were made available to others, perhaps Twitter wouldn't have been aflutter, but Twitter soared with over 264,000 tweets Saturday. This marks a 633 percent jump from Derby 137, when Animal Kingdom won with only 36,000 tweets.
According to Blue Fin Labs, the breakdown for Saturday's tweeting had four distinct spikes and one marked dip.
1. Mary J. Blige singing the National Anthem.
I didn't see this, but the tweeting popped up to about 1,000 tweets a minute. Not bad considering she succeeded in keeping her clothes on.
2. Singing of My Old Kentucky Home.
Now we're talking. The juice starts flowing. People who have never heard of this song try to follow along with the captions and cannot. For a great version of this song, visit this wonderful link.
All that pregnant energy from a day's worth of handicapping, mint julep imbibing, Porta-John hurdling, beautiful women-gazing, sundress admiring, surged with close to 3,000 tweets a minute.
Then nothing. Well, virtually nothing.
3. Steep drop in commentary as race goes off.
Union Rags gets pinched. Bodemeister explodes like a shook-up can o'Coke. Trinniberg questions his horsehood. Calvin Borel cuddles the fence like a Teddy Bear.
The analysis of the social media trending addressed the spike. "People often ask us, 'Does tweeting stop during major moments on TV?' The answer is that it really depends: what type of event is it, how long the 'moment' lasts, cultural significance of the event, etc. But for the 2 minute stretch when the Kentucky Derby race actually took place, the answer is clear: tweeting slowed significantly. And immediately after the race ended, tweeting activity immediately went through the roof."
Of course! Attention from iPhones, Droids, and laptops can be arrested for only so long. So much happens and so much happens quickly that you'd be a fool to be tweeting during any 10-12 furlong race. Most of us in the know were watching the fractions go up and our collective jaws dropped when Bodemeister opened up when he turned for home. If there was time to tweet it would've looked something like this:
"Bodemeister can't keep up this pace. #niceridemikesmith #tickedoffbaffert #kyderby"
"Baffert/Zayat had Pioneerof the Nile now THIS! #freak #kyderby"
We'd miss too much by tweeting during the event. Which leads us to:
4. I'll Have Another overtakes Bodemeister
7,000 tweets a minute after Doug O'Neil's horse stormed down the track to win by a length. Twitter blew up. Fans and reporters alike took 140 characters and made it work. This is a LOT of tweeting.
The sport worries about generating new fans. That can't be the case. The sport has very passionate fans already it can't afford to lose. Let them be the ones who bring in new fans. And as of this posting, this image has been tweeted 82 times. Social media, and especially twitter, may be where the future of horse racing lies.

An Illinois man has pleaded guilty to his part in the so-called "Celebgate" hack that ultimately leaked nude photos of celebrities including actress Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton.
Edward Majerczyk, of Chicago, admitted in court Tuesday that he targeted celebrities in an online scheme, downloading "sensitive images" and obtaining personal information on the victims.
He pleaded guilty to one felony count of unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information.
Majerczyk was accused in a phishing scheme that gave him illegal access to hundreds of Gmail and iCloud accounts, including at least 30 accounts that belong to celebrities, the Department of Justice had said.
According to authorities, from Nov. 23, 2013, through August 2014, Majerczyk sent emails to victims that appeared to be from security accounts of internet service providers, directing them to a website that would collect their usernames and passwords. Through the scheme, Majerczyk was able to access the victims' personal information, including sensitive and private photographs and videos, officials said.
The charge against Majerczyk stemmed from an investigation into the leaks of photographs of numerous female celebrities in September 2014 that became known as "Celebgate."
In the scandal, some of the private photos were leaked onto websites like 4chan.org and Reddit, with as many as 100 celebrities targeted.
Investigators, however, have not found evidence linking Majerczyk to the leaks.
His lawyer, Thomas Needham, also emphasized that point in court Tuesday, saying Majerczyk made no effort to sell or distribute the images he obtained.
"So essentially it was for his own personal satisfaction and enjoyment?" Judge Charles Kocoras said.
"Yes, your honor," Needham replied.
Kocoras accepted Majerczyk's guilty plea as part of a plea deal.
He faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison and is set to be sentenced on Jan. 10.
"Hacking of online accounts to steal personal information is not merely an intrusion of an individual's privacy but is a serious violation of federal law," United States Attorney Eileen M. Decker said in a statement. "Defendant's conduct was a profound intrusion into the privacy of his victims and created vulnerabilities at multiple online service providers."

President Barack Obama's one-word campaign slogan is "Forward." But as he prepares to accept his party's nomination for a second term, he's casting backward for help in moving ahead.
Speaking in a time spot usually reserved for the running mate, former President Bill Clinton was addressing the National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. Wednesday to put the president's name in nomination.
Democrats hoped his appearance would remind voters of Clinton's stewardship of a late-1990s economy that was growing and federal annual budgets briefly posted surpluses. It's intended as a contrast with last week's Republican convention in Tampa, Fla., where former GOP President George W. Bush, was barely mentioned.
After watching wife Michelle Obama's opening night speech from the White House with their two daughters on Tuesday, Obama was arriving in Charlotte Wednesday for the festivities.
Obama and Clinton have had a rocky past but are teaming up to present a unified message. Beyond helping Obama sell his economic proposals, Clinton can connect with independents and many working-class voters who haven't warmed to Obama.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden speak Thursday night. Convention planners say a rain threat is forcing the speeches indoors from a large open-roof stadium.
Mitt Romney remained in Vermont practicing for the upcoming fall presidential debates with sparring partner Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, playing the role of Obama. He left daily campaigning duties to running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and a Republican "truth squad" encamped in Charlotte to issue GOP counterpoint.
Ryan, stumping Wednesday in Adel, Iowa, called the U.S. "a country in decline," citing a national debt that this week topped $16 trillion.
Which brings us back to Clinton. The debt was $5.7 trillion when he left office in January 2001, increasing to $10.6 trillion under Bush and now hitting $16 trillion under Obama.

Caroline Manzo of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" said she always gets questions from her fans.
Certain questions would arise over and over again.
And those questions… and the resulting answers from the reality TV personality… have been pulled together for a book, "Let Me Tell You Something."
Manzo was set to be in Connecticut at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville on July 12 to sign copies of the book and have a meet and greet with fans.
Manzo, in a phone interview, said viewers would ask her about a variety of topics. They would ask how she was able to stay true to herself while being on a reality television show like "Real Housewives…" They also would ask about how to be a successful business woman, how to have a happy marriage, how to raise three successful, happy children, and so on.
Given all the questions she would get from fans, Manzo said some people said she should write an advice book to provide her fans with the answers they were looking for.
But Manzo said she felt kind of foolish writing an advice book. After all, she's not a doctor or a credentialed expert.
However, Manzo finally gave in to writing the book. But she opted to do it her way.
Rather than giving answers to the questions like a Dr. Phil or someone of similar ilk, she decided to provide anecdotes about how she personally approached situations that reflected her fan's question.
"This is how I did it," said Manzo of her approach, "if it works for you, cool."
So, within the book, she said she shares some "silly stories" to answer some questions. She also shares more serious tales about her marriage that reflect those questions. She even tackles tougher topics, going deep by sharing stories about her miscarriages.
Additionally, the book responds to other queries from fans. For instance, Manzo said there are a handful of recipes that were requested. Manzo also shares some behind-the scenes-information "Real Housewives of New Jersey" She let's viewers know what was really happening during some of the more unforgettable moments on the show.
"It's a very easy read," said Manzo, who described "Let Me Tell You Something" as an "airport/ beach" book. If you have three hours to set aside, she said, you can easily finish "Let Me Tell You Something."
Asked about the task of writing the book, Manzo said it was a "very enjoyable" process.
Manzo explained she is an avid reader, and typically will read a 500 page book in an evening. "That's my night, that's my passion," said Manzo.
But when the time came to work on the book, Manzo said she switched out her evenings of reading for evenings of writing.
Manzo and her writing partner Kevin Dickson would spend their evening Skype-ing to work on the book. She would write a passage and Dickson then would help clean it up.
The only challenge in pulling together the book was deciding what anecdotes to share, Manzo said.
"The stories were a lot of fun," said Manzo. "(Dickson) and I had a lot of laughs… I had a good time with it."
As for feedback about the book, Manzo said fans have been overwhelmingly positive with their praise. Many of them said they could relate to her stories. They also said told her they loved her sense of humor, which was something they didn't expect from watching the show.
Manzo is used to having her personal life made public because of "Real Housewives…" But she said the book was a different, better experience than the television series. "It's my voice." She felt great about sharing her stories to the public straight from her own mouth.
The signing event at Mohegan Sun where she gets to meet the public is not something new for Manzo. But it's an opportunity she relishes. "It's insane… (But) it's something I still enjoy."
However, Manzo said she still isn't used to the notoriety brought to her family by the show. "It's surreal."
Manzo shared a story about a trip she and her family took to Italy after the first season of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" wrapped up. She said the family figured they would slip into the scenery of Europe and go unnoticed.
Not so.
"My son were chased down the piazza (in Italy) by a bunch of college girls," said Manzo. She thought to herself, "What is this, the Jonas Brothers?"
One of the reasons why "Real Housewives of New Jersey" succeeds is "people can relate to us," said Manzo. "We're everybody," she said. Everyone seems to know someone like the characters on the show.
While on the topic of the show, which is in the middle of its latest season, Manzo was asked if there were any surprises on tap as the season moves forward.
"There's lot of them," said Manzo. "You haven't seen anything yet."

Food safety important on Thanksgiving
Food safety important on Thanksgiving
OMAHA, Neb. —
Experts say practicing good food safety is important to a successful Thanksgiving.
The Nebraska Regional Poison Center says taking proper precautions can help ensure that no one gets sick at your holiday gatherings.
It's important to use a meat thermometer to make sure the turkey and any other meat dishes reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. That ensures any bacteria is killed.
Don't leave perishable food out at room temperature for more than two hours.
Refrigerate any leftover turkey and use it within four days.
Make sure anyone helping in the kitchen washes their hands.
The Poison Center can answer other food safety questions at 1-800-222-1222.

If you want to find out the cheapest pressure cooker to buy, don't under any circumstances search on the internet.
Michele Catalano did that while her husband, in the same time frame, was Googling backpacks. Six men from a joint terrorism task force showed up at their house to see if they were terrorists. Apparently the problem was not caused by Prism.
The Suffolk County Police Department released a statement saying that Criminal Intelligence Detectives received a tip from a Bay Shore based computer company regarding suspicious computer searches conducted by a recently fired employee.
On that computer, the employee searched the terms "pressure cooker bombs" and "backpacks."
Some of the questions the cops asked Catalano were priceless. Classics like "Do you have any bombs." That would make any terrorist instantly say "yes." They asked him if he had a pressure cooker and were told that they had a rice cooker. The cops wanted to know if you could make a bomb with it.
"My husband said no, my wife uses it to make quinoa. What the hell is quinoa, they asked," Catalano told the press.

October 30, 2013
Dr. Susan E. Keith, a member of Angelo State University's kinesiology faculty since 1997, has been named dean of ASU's College of Graduate Studies, effective Jan. 1.
Dr. Nancy G. Allen, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, made the announcement after an internal search that identified and interviewed four candidates for the position.
In making the announcement, Allen said, "Dr. Keith has served in various capacities across campus, including significant service in the College of Graduate Studies as well as the campus at large since her original appointment to the faculty. Her familiarity with and her commitment to ASU will help continue the college's record growth."
The position opened up last fall when Dr. Brian J. May, who had a dual appointment as graduate dean and provost, was named ASU president. Dr. June H. Smith has served as interim dean for the past year.
Keith, a professor of kinesiology, joined the ASU faculty in 1997 as an assistant professor and was subsequently promoted to the rank of associate professor in 2004 and to the rank of professor in 2011. She has extensive experience teaching graduate courses.
During her 16-year ASU tenure, she has served as a member of the University Graduate Council, Graduate Advisory Committee in the Department of Agriculture, Physical Therapy Admissions Committee and Graduate Faculty Research Enhancement Program Grants Committee.
In addition to her involvement with graduate programs and initiatives, Keith has a record of extensive involvement in department and university-wide leadership and service, having chaired or served on 36 committees, including several presidential task forces.
Additionally, she was instrumental in the developing and implementing the M.Ed. in coaching, sport, recreation and fitness administration, a highly successful program in the Department of Kinesiology.
Keith holds a B.S. in office administration from Southwestern Oklahoma State University and a B.S. in physical education from the University of Central Oklahoma. She earned a M.S. in education from Baylor University with an emphasis in exercise physiology and a Ph.D. in health studies from Texas Woman's University.

Cecilia de Torres, Ltd. invites you to "Under the Influence," an exhibition curated by Susanna V. Temkin, PhD., on view through the summer.
Celebrating creative partnerships and artistic lineages, "Under the Influence" features works by gallery artists linked through familial, pedagogical, and personal connections. The exhibition explores the reciprocal influence and exchange sparked by artists working in relation to one another. Often these inspired dialogues cut across generational boundaries and medium specificities, revealing how lessons and ideas are transmitted, shared, and reshaped.
In showcasing works by related artists, "Under the Influence" simulates the conversations once shared among friends, partners, students, teachers, and family members. Though presented in groupings of two to three artists, these dialogues extend across the gallery space. Indeed, the gallery Cecilia de Torres, Ltd. has itself come to represent a place of connection(s) between artists who follow in the spirit of shared artistic traditions.
b. 1874 Montevideo, Uruguay - d. 1949 Montevideo, Uruguay
When Torres-García arrived in Montevideo on April 30, 1934 after forty-three years of absence, Torres-García told the press that he had returned to his native country of Uruguay in order to "develop a wide range of activities, to lecture, to teach courses, to achieve... on walls what I have already achieved on canvas,... to create in Montevideo a movement that will surpass the art of Paris." These lofty ambitions were achieved through the creation of his world famous workshop, the Taller Torres-García, where he taught his theory of Universal Constructivism to future generations of Latin American artists.
Before returning to Uruguay, Torres-García had arrived at the concept of Universal Constructivism after a long development during which his painting evolved from Mediterranean classicism through periods of Vibrationism, Cubism, and Fauvism. A truly global artist, Torres-García lived in Spain, New York, Italy, and Paris, where his theories and aesthetic style culminated into his characteristic incorporation of symbols located in a geometric grid based on the golden section.
The uniqueness of Torres' proposal consisted of his incorporation of essential elements of indigenous American art into the basic principles of European constructivism and geometric abstraction. Today, he is recognized as a canonical figure in both Latin American and modern art in general, with works in prestigious public and private collections worldwide.
An online catalogue raisonné, which includes comprehensive information about Torres-García's art, exhibition history, and literary references, as well as a chronology with documentary materials related to the artist's life and career, is available online at www.torresgarcia.com
b. 1960, New York City – lives in New York City
Trained as an architect with a degree from Princeton University, Gustavo Bonevardi's artistic practice ranges from the meticulous to the monumental. Working on a small scale, Bonevardi is known for his "letter drawings," graphite images in which a multitude of minute, yet precise letters of the alphabet tumble, spill, and stretch their way across the paper's surface, creating undulating patterns or precise forms which, when viewed from a distance, conceal their miniscule components.
Bonevardi draws on his architectural background when working on his large-scale urban projects. These include the memorial, Tribute in Light (conceived in 2001 and illuminated each year in New York City in commemoration of September 11th), and 10,000 Flower Maze (2011). This later work, a temporary project commissioned for Shenzhen's Citizen Plaza in China, was inspired by the European maze garden commissioned by Emperor Qialong in 1756. The work consisted of thousands of orange traffic safety cones arranged in patterns across the public space.
In 2015, his latest body of work was shown in a solo exhibition, Fictions, at Cecilia de Torres, Ltd. His large-scale drawing, Falling (2007-2009), was recently included in the first group exhibition ever to be held at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City, entitled Rendering the Unthinkable: Artists Respond to 9/11.
b. 1948, Montevideo, Uruguay - d. 2014, Greenport, New York
A unique talent in the world of ceramics, Buzio learned to create, form, and shape clay sculptures from the master ceramicist José Collell, based on ancient Amerindian practices. Buzio continued to work within this same method, cutting earthenware slabs into geometric shapes, and then combining these cylinders, cones, and hemispheres to form the body of her sculptures. Using special pigments which she mixed herself, the artist drew and painted directly onto her unfired works. Before firing, Buzio burnished her pieces; this step serves to fuse the paint into the clay and results in the unique luminosity and distinctive hues that characterize her artworks.
After moving to New York in the early 70s', Buzio's pictorial vocabulary shifted to reflect her new urban surroundings, inspiring her to create her New York Cityscapes, with their evocative rooflines, cast iron architecture, and water towers. Her last series of abstract geometric designs executed in bright primary colors, represented a new direction in her practice.
Buzio's ceramics are found in the Brooklyn Museum New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Smithsonian National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums; the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York; the Racine Art Museum, Wisconsin; the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, Kansas; the Honolulu Academy of Art, Hawaii; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the National Museum of History and the Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan. Buzio's work is also included in several other international museums and private collections.
Gego (Gertrud Louise Goldschmidt)
b. 1912, Hamburg, Germany - d. 1994, Caracas, Venezuela
Gego was a German-born Venezuelan artist and sculptor. She attended theTechnische Hochschule of Stuttgart,in 1932, where she studied under the popular masonry artist, Dr. Paul Bonatz. In 1938, she received a diploma in both Architecture and Engineering.
In 1935, once the Nazis seized Germany, Gego was forced into exile and moved to Venezuela at the age of seventeen. Through her partner, the artist Gerd Leufert, Gego was introduced to a number of artists practicing Kinetic Art, Constructivism, and Geometric Abstraction, as modernist art movements reached their peak in Venezuela.
It was not until the mid-1960s that Gego departed from her previous platform of Kinetic Art, and instead, informed her work by engaging with the line as a formal structure. For Gego, a line inhabits its own space, and as such, it is not merely a component of a larger work, instead, it is the work itself. Therefore, the artist did not use the line to represent an image, the line is the very image. The strength or purpose of the line was enhanced by her use of different materials, such as steel, wire, lead, nylon, and various metals.
Gego's idea of a series of artworks that would be titled "Drawings Without Paper" reflect her view of space. She considered space as its own form, as if her artwork was occupying the room itself. Since her pieces are made from nets and grid-like materials, negative space is everywhere, causing the negative as well as the positive space to be appreciated. But it is the shadows created by her works that reveal the integral connection between the sculpture and the room it occupies. Gego was thus allowed to play with the idea of the stable and unstable elements of art.
The artist's work as been shown all around the world in countless group exhibitions and numerous solo exhibitions, and her work is found in important public collections such as MoMA; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Museo Reina Sofia; the Tate Modern; and the Art Institute of Chicago.
b. 1965, Caracas, Venezuela – lives in Paris, France since 2008
The child of mathematicians, Elias Crespin grew up in Caracas, Venezuela. From an early age, he frequently visited the studio of his grandmother, the artist Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt), and her partner, the artist and designer Gerd Leufert, where the young Crespin was encouraged to experiment with different materials.
At the same time, the artist's technical inclinations led him to study Computer Science at Venezuela's Universidad Central in Caracas, where he delved into the fields of mathematics, graphics, and topographical formulas. After working for various software companies and then for his own consulting firm, he decided to dedicate his skills to art making.
Crespin currently lives and works in Paris, where he continues to develop and apply new technological methods towards his artistic production. Bridging the gap between technology and art, Crespin creates wire grid structures that are controlled by moving threads triggered by a computer program designed by the artist himself. In this way, his pieces appear to dance in the air as they adopt and morph into new forms and patterns.
Crespin's artworks are included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), TX; the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), Argentina; and El Museo del Barrio, NYC; as well as numerous other prestigious private collections.
b. 1924 in Milan, Italy – Lives in Montevideo, Uruguay
Fleeing from anti-Semitism on the eve of World War II, Linda Kohen immigrated with her family to Montevideo by way of Buenos Aires in 1939. Since then, the Italian-born artist has lived and worked in the Río de la Plata region, with an interlude in Brazil (1979-1985). From 1949 until the studio's demise in 1962, Kohen was a member of the Taller Torres-García, where she studied, created, and exhibited her art. After her work at the Taller, she arrived at her own uniquely personal style, creating intimate paintings that offer a glimpse into her private moments, feelings, and experiences. Kohen continues to develop her artistic practice from her home and studio in Montevideo.
b. 1914 Klaipėda, Lithuania - d. 1998 Caracas, Venezuela
Gerd Leufert studied at the Hanover School of Art, where Klee and Kandinsky had been notable earlier graduates. He also studied graphic design at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. After being conscripted and wounded during WWII, Leufert worked as a graphic designer for various German publishing houses.
Attracted by the economic affluence that the oil boom brought to Venezuela, in 1951, Leufert settled in Caracas, becoming a citizen in 1954. He moved to Tarma, a small town on the Venezuelan coast with the artist Gego, who became his lifelong companion. Their artistic collaborations included large scale public space projects integrating sculpture into architectural settings.
Leufert innovated graphic design in Venezuela, turning it into a dynamic medium using new typography and innovative layout design. From 1958 to 1967 he taught art and graphic design at various art schools in Caracas, and from 1968 to 1973 he served as curator of drawings and graphic design at the Museo de Bellas Artes, Caracas.
In 1989, Leufert was awarded the Venezuelan National Fine Arts Prize. Works by Leufert are included in such public and private collections as the Museum of Modern Art, NY; The Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection among others.
b. 1913 Tarrasa, Spain - d. 1992 Barcelona, Spain
The eldest son of Joaquín Torres-García, Augusto was an active participant in his father's artistic life. Growing up primarily in Italy and France, the young artist met many of the great figures of twentieth century art, including Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, and Joan Miró. During the 1930s, while living in Paris with his family, Augusto was the apprentice of the sculptor Julio González and studied drawing in Amedée Ozenfant's academy. Introduced to North African and American Indian art by the painter Jean Hélion, it was also in Paris that the artist developed his lifelong passion for tribal and primitive art.
After Torres-García brought his family to Uruguay in 1934, Augusto participated in all the activities of his father's teaching atelier, the Taller Torres-García. One of the Taller's most well known students, Augusto later went on become a teacher himself, instructing subsequent generations of artists. Throughout his life, Augusto traveled widely, including two years living in New York. From 1973 on, he divided his time between Barcelona and Montevideo.
The art of Augusto has been displayed internationally in both solo and group exhibitions, and his work is included in the collections of such institutions as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Santa Barbara Museum of Art; the Miró Foundation, Barcelona; and the Museo Torres-García, Montevideo.
b. 1924 Livorno, Italy - d. 1976 New York City
Of the many painters who studied with his father, the great Constructivist artist Joaquín Torres-García, Horacio Torres made the quantum leap into the Contemporary art world of abstract and expressionistic painters in New York's 1970s. That he did so with figurative canvases was a singular achievement. Taken under the wing of the critic Clement Greenberg, who understood that Horacio's work was really about painting and was thoroughly modern, Horacio explored the thunderous territory of Titian, Velasquez and late Goya with a unique background of skill and aesthetic education in a contemporary way. Thus the series of headless nudes and of figures with faces obscured, make clear his painterly intentions and concerns. His monumental canvases are wondrous exercises of painted imagination formed with the structure of the depicted figure, but they are not about nudes, they are about painting.
b. 1966 Montevideo, Uruguay – lives in Montevideo, Uruguay
At 18, Gustavo began to study with the painter Daymán Antúnez with whom he continued to work until 1987. Beginning with Antúnez, Serra was to work with the most important surviving artists that had studied with the great modernist painter, Joaquín Torres-García. In 1987, he met the painter Augusto Torres (Torres-García's eldest son) and for the next six years, Serra painted with Torres in his studio until Augusto's death in 1992. In 1988, Serra became the studio assistant to Francisco Matto, working closely with him until Matto's death in 1995. He also assisted the sculptor Gonzalo Fonseca in his studios both in New York and in Seravezza, Italy in 1994 and 1996. Serra has also studied and collaborated with Julio Alpuy in New York and in Montevideo since 1991. All of these artists were original members of the renowned Taller Torres-García in Montevideo.
Since 1987, Serra has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Uruguay and abroad, including the 1996 Still Life Show at Cecilia de Torres, Ltd. in New York and the 1998, Salón Municipal, Montevideo. In 1997, Serra had his first one-man show at Galería Moretti in Montevideo.
Serra was invited in 1999, by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Montevideo, (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Montevideo) to participate in the exhibition, Identities, Latin American and Caribbean artists, organized for the International Development Bank in Paris.
Since 1990, he has worked organizing exhibitions related to Joaquín Torres-García and the Taller in various museums, galleries and public institutions all around the world. He has also curated exhibitions for the Museo Torres-García and Galería Oscar Prato in Montevideo, and since 2012 is in the board of the Francisco Matto and Julio Alpuy Foundations.

Since the job forums have been pretty inactive for awhile, I thought I'd start a new topic in each devoted to things you'd like or wish that Square Enix would do with each job. They can be legitimate things you'd like to see, or they could be absurd, and, while they can be, they don't have to be any serious or groundbreaking changes you think each job needs, just something you think would improve them a bit in some form. Just try to keep the topic clean and drama free (emphasis on try). Just have some fun with this and let your ideas soar.
Well, with the impending Embrava tweak in the works, I think Scholar being the end-all/be-all for some events will be a thing of the past. It'll still be good, but not the powerhouse it was before. How about a unique Helix-like Cure spell (not like Regen) that is only affected by Healing Magic Skill that restores HP per tic to the individual based on how much the initial heal cured for. It'd have very low MP and a quick cast time, and would be able to heal the target for decent chunks of HP at a time. Either that or make the Augeo spells more beneficial, like full suppression of enmity gain during Minuo and near capped enmity during Augeo. It's rough with Scholar to choose something, cause really I want it to be balanced out with Rdm and other mages, not necessarily something super unique and special to it to where "OMG! SCH R0xx0rz!"

10 Artists Who Defined Chinese Contemporary Art
Artsy Editorial
Yang Fudong is a pioneering Chinese filmmaker best known for his "Seven Intellectuals in a Bamboo Forest" (2003-7), a series of silent, multi-part, black-and-white films that follow a cast of attractive Chinese youths through several surrealistic scenes. Drawing influence from his training as a painter and photographer, as well as the work of Jim Jarmusch, Yang's films are sequences of slow-moving, tableau-like dreamscapes, more evocative of moods and impressions than any clear narrative. As he says: "There is no result, no answer."

I'm having a very hard time deciding between BARF and Wellness, I know BARF is better but I'm still living at home and my mother would probably have a heart attack. She grew up with the notion that dogs eat kibble. How can I convince her that BARF is better, any sites that would help?
There's a "BARF sites" thread a few posts down
There are some good links in there.
There are some good links in there.
Good luck on conviencing your parents that BARF is better for the dog. I'm getting Kozmo BARF right now and he loves it. I'm living at my girl friends house (my parents won't let me have 2 dogs) and her parents thinks feeding raw food is wrong and stupid. They raised dogs at there earily age and fed there dogs cooked food. They said feeding raw food will make the dog more vicious. I told them it wouldn't and they didn't believe me. I wanted to tell them if Lions and Tiger eat cooked food versus raw food, will it make them less vicious? No right? If it's in them, it's in them. Other reasons like bateria, cold food, etc they disagreed on. They even think feeding dogs salty food is good for them and has no side effects.

what you guys said about the Gods intervention in the iliad is of course true, but then why don't you translate that over to naruto and insert madara? the comparison still stands. madara is the puppetmaster 'god' putting obito in these positions or turmoil and mind altering scenarios much like the gods did to the humans in the iliad
also, obito does want rin back in a dream world as he stated, but that's an oversimplification as well. he wants to end a world that is capable of creating this type of suffering. it's similar to nagato's ideal that he came to believe from the pain he experienced over his parents, dog and yahiko. its not simply that obito's crush died so he will now massacre everyone. he is just doing what he deems necessary to change the world into a place where pain is nonexistent. and yes, i agree that it's crazy and over the top, i am just saying there is more to it than just blind vengeance over a childhood crush

Secondly of course it's not about revenge and killing everyone, that's Sasuke's niche. Obito isn't revenge, he is absolute denial. Reality sucks so he will dream it off and murder anyone who stand in his way, it's not like their deaths and suffering matter because he will write it all off in his dream.
If you think that's insane contrary to Essenar who appear to think it's a normal reaction then we're not really in disagreement but while I have no problem with the idea of Tobi wanting to deny reality into oblivion (I think it actually fits quite well with the story) I find however the execution of the Obito/Rin part to be severely lacking if not completely dumb.

as for madara playing the "god" in this drama, we don't know that for sure. if madara had chosen obito and planned his demise then maybe. but so far kishi has only confirmed a few things, obito just "fell on madara's lap" and made use of him. obito went psycho because rin died.
besides, madara is hardly petty. he is proud, ambitious and a bit of a lunatic. the gods in the iliad were petty, vindictive and vain. the three goddesses just wanted to know which one of them is the most beautiful, so they asked an unsuspecting paris and offered him riches, power, wisdom and the love of the most beautiful woman in the world - helen. paris chose the latter because of his vanity and pride as a man. helen was no more than a trophy that paris and menelaus fought over, none of them ever loved helen. agamemnon joined the fray because he was a power-tripping, war-hungry warlord who had always set his sights on troy. menelaus merely gave him a reason to sack the city. the gods also joined the war and all hell broke loose. the gods didn't plan for this war, nobody did. like hunter said, it was fate and the driving force behind all that was vanity not love. there was hardly any love in that story save for what hunter also mentioned earlier, the love between achilles and patroclus. but achilles was already part of that war, he didn't start it either, patroclus' death merely fueled his rage and warring tendencies.

If Rin were even the slightly developed character maybe this could work. I think in total she had maybe ten dialogue bubbles throughout the entire series. Theres nothing negative about her (except the possible reason why Kakashi had to kill her, but thats still just a theory). Shes a shell of a character with the traits guys like in girls. Shes nice, caring, nurturing and doesnt talk that much.
Of course Obito would think he loved her, he hasnt got to know the real Rin; the Rin that likes to relax on the coach and fart having no fear that she will be judge by her supposed true love; the Rin that just didnt give a damn that day and does absolutely nothingwhich includes cooking, cleaning and giving a damn for others (this extends to supposed true love and leaving them to fend for themselves that day); the Rin that would snap at the drop of the hat because shes in one of her moods. No, all Obito knows is Rin the girl hes left on a pedestal so long that theres more than a thick layer of dust burden on her shoulders. So even if he got into his dream world, it wouldnt be the real Rin, just the Rin he thought he had loved. But that is what a crush is, is it not? Or is this more obsession territory?

Naruto himself fully acknowledged that he could have ended up consumed by hatred as Sasuke did very easily, had certain circumstances been different in their lives, as per his conversation with Sasuke after the Danzou battle.

Gaara was possessed, so setting him aside, the other two actually held up pretty well. Nagato witnessed the death of his parents and experienced war at a very young age but still pulled through until the Danzou incident and Naruto went through a lot of stuff before his ultimate fight against Pain. Obito just cracked at the first obstacle, and while it's something plausible, it definitely lacks the impact we've already seen in others.

Fallen Angel
Of course now, I'm in my late 20's, I'm a lot more mature and I know how stupid it was but does it change that it happened? Not at all. I get worried when I hear about kids having relationships because I know it's a lot of emotional weight for them to try to deal with: jealousy, intimacy, yearning, depression, confidence.
Obito was 13-16 years old and not only did he LOSE the girl he loved, his best friend stabbed her through the chest. This was after he tried to sacrifice his life for that same best friend and had his body permanently mutilated from it. And he also spent that time trapped in a cave with a zombie old man and a clone that want to take over the world. And YOU think it's a poorly executed plot? lol.
It's like you expect him to come out of that cave perfectly normal.
"OH well, my love died by my best friend's hand? Trapped in a cave with crazy old guy? Half of my body is made out of clone goop? Who cares, time to join Match.com and find a new girlfriend! Hey Kakashi! Did you hit it? PROPS BRO. Wanna go to Chipotle?"

I think this is the primary characterization bothering me as well.
So far we have the precedent with Kabuto and the likes of him being spies since an early age.
I think it's highly likely that the reason Rin's characterization has been minimal and her behavior running parallel to stereotypical manners is just that, her being a spy of some sort, pretending to be a friend yet gunning for betrayal.
If that was her real side, it puts Obito's real world perceptions in question, because all he ever really loved was an unrealistic cardboard cutout, and thus his designs on the world end up being ludicrous that much more as a direct result.

Why are people still expecting Tobito's motivation to be sane/rational?
He's a crazy man, the crazy man does crazy shit for crazy reasons because he's crazy.
Can we get over this issue already?

He's got an elaborate plan (even if he didn't come up with it) and he has a rational reason for doing it, he doesn't want to accept his friend's death. The point is, it's a hell of a weak reason. Sasuke watched his brother massacre his entire clan, Gaara had his father's assassin's on his back and a spiteful demon in his head to face, now THAT is some serious shit that gets you messed up.

Poll shows Granite Staters strongly favor 'assault weapons' ban, full background checksBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
January 24. 2013 2:24PM
HENNIKER -- As an "assault weapons" was unveiled on Capitol Hill Thursday, a new poll was released by New England College showing a large majority of Granite Staters favor a such a ban and universal background checks for gun purchases.
The poll, conducted Jan. 21 and 22 of 656 registered voters, asked two direct questions:
- Whether "assault weapons" should be banned, and
- "Do you support the idea of universal background checks for gun purchases?"
The poll showed 72 percent favored and 24 percent opposed an "assault weapons" ban and that 88 percent favored and 10 percent opposed "the idea of universal background checks."
According to the poll, men favored an "assault weapons" ban, 64 to 34 percent and women favored it, 80 to 16 percent.
The first question contained no specific explanation of an "assault weapon," according to NEC spokesman Scott Spradling.
"It is a broad poll question, but we are confident people know and understand the definition of an assault weapon," Spradling said.
"New Hampshire voters show surprisingly strong support for these gun control moves," NEC poll director Dr. Ben Tafoya said in a statement.

New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Reps. Annie Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter have expressed support for an "assault weapons" ban, while Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte opposes the Feinstein bill, a spokesman said Thursday.
