Entrusted Feelings!! (託された想い!!, Takusareta Omoi!!) is volume 31 of the Naruto manga.
Chapter 272
- "Granny Chiyo vs. Sasori…!!" (チヨバアVSサソリ…!!, Chiyo-Baa Bāsasu Sasori…!!)
Sakura grabs Sasori before he can reach Chiyo and pulls him towards her. She punches him and he falls apart but, being a puppet, he is able to put himself back together. Seeing that he will not be easy to defeat, Chiyo takes a puppet's arm to replace the one she lost and brings out the Chikamatsu Collection. Sasori is impressed by her ability to control one puppet with each of her fingers, but demonstrates how his puppet body allows him to control one hundred puppets. Disappointed that the battle has dragged on for so long, Sasori prepares to finish Chiyo and Sakura.
Chapter 273
- "The Last Battle!!" (ラストバトル!!, Rasuto Batoru!!)
While Chiyo's ten puppets are individually stronger than Sasori's one hundred, they are overpowered in a contest of numbers. Sakura protects Chiyo from any puppets that get too close. Knowing this can't go on forever, Sakura attacks Sasori directly, hitting him with a chakra-suppressing seal. Though the battle seems won, Sasori's body no longer able to move or control puppets, another Sasori appears behind Chiyo. He tries to kill Chiyo but Sakura uses herself as a shield.
Chapter 274
- "An Unfulfilled Dream" (叶わぬ夢, Kanawanu Yume)
Despite having been struck by a poisonous blade, Sakura manages to hold on to the sword to prevent Sasori from escaping. She tells Chiyo to take the last antidote, Chiyo having been struck earlier, but Chiyo ignores her and injects her with the antidote. Chiyo collapses and Sasori, disconnecting from the sword, moves to finish her. Chiyo uses the Mother and Father puppets to stab him through his core, the only part of his humanity he kept when turning himself into a puppet so that he could still use chakra. Chiyo begins healing Sakura but Sasori observes that the wound is too severe. Chiyo responds that she is not healing Sakura but transferring her life to Sakura with a technique she created to give life to Sasori's Mother and Father puppets, something he will no longer need.
Chapter 275
- "Reward…!!" (褒美…!!, Hōbi…!!)
Because she is using a life-transferring technique, since Sakura was not dead, Chiyo does not die by reviving her. Sasori is disappointed that he has not been able to kill anyone and laments that he is now dying because he could not completely convert himself into a puppet. As his life wanes, he does something "pointless": as a reward to Sakura for surviving, he tells her of a spy within Orochimaru's ranks that he was scheduled to meet in ten days' time at the Tenchi Bridge. He dies in the embrace of his Mother and Father puppets and Chiyo speculates about Sasori not being able to avoid her last attack. She collapses, still poisoned, but refuses Sakura's offers to take her back to Sunagakure, claiming to still have something to do. Meanwhile, Naruto and Kakashi are still following Deidara. After preparing his Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi tells Naruto to start.
Chapter 276
- "The New Sharingan!!" (新しい写輪眼!!, Atarashii Sharingan!!)
Despite Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan, Naruto offers to finish off Deidara if Kakashi cannot. Kakashi agrees if that becomes necessary. He uses Kamui to try and send Deidara to another dimension, but his aim keeps missing and he is only manages to severe Deidara's arm. This at least creates an opportunity for Naruto to destroy the bird Deidara is flying on. Naruto retrieves Gaara's body and Deidara tries to flee on foot, but is attacked by another Naruto.
Chapter 277
- "The Ultimate Art!! " (究極の芸術!!, Kyūkyoku no Geijutsu!!)
Naruto and his shadow clones surround and pummel Deidara, only to discover that they are attacking a Clay Clone. Frustrated, Naruto begins to develop a chakra cloak, which Kakashi suppresses with a seal given to him by Jiraiya in case this happened. Chiyo and Sakura join up with them, revealing to Deidara that Sasori has been defeated. Upset, Deidara tries to sneak away but is stopped by Team Guy, they having finally defeated their exact counterparts. Cornered, Deidara consumes some clay and starts to blow up.
Chapter 278
- "Gaara's Death" (我愛羅の死, Gaara no Shi)
While Team 7 and Team Guy try to run. Kakashi, knowing they cannot get out of the blast radius in time, uses Kamui on Deidara to send the explosion to another dimension. Kakashi, exhausted from overusing his Mangekyō Sharingan, collapses afterwards. The two teams relocate to a field where Sakura tries to revive Gaara, but he has already died so there is nothing she can do. Naruto begins to cry and lashes out at Chiyo for sealing Shukaku within Gaara in the first place, therefore causing out his death after sentencing him to a life of loneliness. Knowing he is right, Chiyo begins to use her life-transference technique on Gaara.
Chapter 279
- "A Miraculous Power…!!" (不思議な力…!!, Fushigina Chikara…!!)
Chiyo lacks the chakra to complete her One's Own Life Reincarnation as she would die for nothing. Eager to help Gaara and ignorant of what it means for Chiyo, Naruto offers to help her bring him back. Glad to see that Naruto, a Konoha ninja, is so willing to help Gaara, a Suna ninja, Chiyo accepts. As the transfer nears completion she encourages Naruto to continue forming the bonds of friendship with rival villages her own generation discouraged. She also tells Sakura not to risk her life for an old woman again in the future. Gaara wakes up and finds himself surrounded by all of the Sunagakure ninja that went to look for him.
Chapter 280
- "Entrusted Feelings!!" (託された想い!!, Takusareta Omoi!!)
The Sunagakure ninja celebrate Gaara's revival. Temari and Kankurō thank Naruto for saving their brother, but he tells them they should thank Chiyo instead; when she "wakes up". They then correct him explaining that Chiyo gave her life to resurrect Gaara. Naruto reflects on her final words and realises that Chiyo, like the Third Hokage, sacrificed herself to protect the next generation. Everyone present has a moment of silence for her. Elsewhere, Deidara, having escaped Kakashi and the others, goes looking for his severed arm with his Akatsuki ring. Zetsu and Tobi also search for Sasori's ring, which the latter takes so that he can join the Akatsuki. Tobi then starts to play with the ring, before it accidentally slips through his hand.
Author's Note
|Recently I carelessly plucked a wart off of my upper arm. Gouging it out left that part of my skin damaged with a depression in it. The whole thing left me with a different kind of depression.

{mosimage} I, Richard Rivers Jr., am running for the select board term of two years. I was born and raised in Waitsfield and was brought up on a farm on Waitsfield Common. I attended Waitsfield Elementary and graduated from Harwood Union High School.
My wife and I lived in Waterbury for five years, started a family and moved back to Waitsfield to build a home in the Riverview development where we still are located. We raised four kids who attended Waitsfield School and graduated from Harwood Union High School.
I have a building and remodeling company, Rivers Building & Consulting Inc., for the previous 30 years building custom homes and renovations. Our clients have been in The Valley and surrounding towns. We are an honest and hardworking company and I expect to bring these ethics to the board.
My community service has been limited to coaching and president of youth sports, which included Little League for 15 years. I was also youth and high school coach at Harwood for 16 years. I was involved with the Couples Club for a number of years.
I have been interested in getting involved in town government over the last few years and decided it was time to venture out. I am not running on any fixed agenda. I'm interested in property rights and expansion of growth and jobs in the town and area. I believe we as a town are at several crossroads and I would like to be involved in representing the townspeople of Waitsfield.
The only request I would ask is get out and vote and make a difference.

Neil Kinnock
Neil Gordon Kinnock, Baron Kinnock, PC (born March 28, 1942) is a British politician. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1970 to 1995, and was Leader of the Opposition and Labour Party leader from 1983 to 1992, when he resigned after the 1992 general election defeat. He subsequently served as a UK Commissioner of the European Commission from 1995 until 2004.
- The army of brokers, jobbers and other quaintly named parasites.
- On the City of London, Labour Monthly (December 1974).
- Devolutionary reform will not provide a factory, a machine or jobs, build a school, train a doctor or put a pound on pensions.
- South Wales Echo (November 1, 1975).
- Never mistake the enthusiasm of the minority for the support of the majority.
- Harriet Harman, "A Woman's Work" (Penguin Books, 2017).
- The House of Lords must go - not be reformed, not be replaced, not be reborn in some nominated life-after-death patronage paradise, just closed down, abolished, finished.
- Tribune (November 19, 1976).
- In my right hon. Friend's reply to the right hon. Lady the Leader of the Opposition, was he not rather unsympathetic, especially now that she appears to be the last pro-Marketeer in Britain? Is not this disturbance manifested by her use of the word "abrasiveness"? For the right hon. Lady to protest a dislike of abrasiveness is rather like Count Dracula professing a distaste for blood. Will my right hon. Friend give an undertaking to increase his abrasiveness until he rubs out altogether the common agricultural policy?
- Speech in the House of Commons (15 March 1979).
- We must not look for some kind of Messiah.

- Explaining to the Bedwellty Constituency Labour Party why he would not vote for Tony Benn in the election for deputy leader (June 19, 1981).
- By emphatically pressing the view that it is only possible to support radical Labour policies by supporting Tony Benn, Tony's associates have turned the contest into a gamble with policies, [yet any] disagreement with those claims has been slandered as 'opportunism', 'careerism' and evidence of every kind of departure from socialist conviction and purpose. That is the truly dangerous product of these months of contest.
- "Personality, Policies and Democratic Socialism", Tribune, 18 September 1981.
- Heckler: At least Mrs Thatcher has got guts.
Neil Kinnock: It's a pity that other people had to leave theirs on the ground at Goose Green to prove it.
- Daily Telegraph 7 June, 1983.
- On TVS television's programme "The South decides" during the 1983 general election campaign. Kinnock was forced to write letters to the families of the war dead to apologise.
If Margaret Thatcher is re-elected as prime minister on Thursday, I warn you. I warn you that you will have pain – when healing and relief depend upon payment. I warn you that you will have ignorance – when talents are untended and wits are wasted, when learning is a privilege and not a right. I warn you that you will have poverty – when pensions slip and benefits are whittled away by a government that won't pay in an economy that can't pay. I warn you that you will be cold – when fuel charges are used as a tax system that the rich don't notice and the poor can't afford.
I warn you that you must not expect work – when many cannot spend, more will not be able to earn. When they don't earn, they don't spend. When they don't spend, work dies. I warn you not to go into the streets alone after dark or into the streets in large crowds of protest in the light. I warn you that you will be quiet – when the curfew of fear and the gibbet of unemployment make you obedient. I warn you that you will have defence of a sort – with a risk and at a price that passes all understanding. I warn you that you will be home-bound – when fares and transport bills kill leisure and lock you up. I warn you that you will borrow less – when credit, loans, mortgages and easy payments are refused to people on your melting income.
If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday, I warn you not to be ordinary. I warn you not to be young. I warn you not to fall ill. And I warn you not to grow old.

- If anyone wants to know why we must conduct ourselves [with commonsense and realism], just remember at all times, with all temptations, how you, each and every one of you sitting in this hall, each and every Labour worker watching this conference, each and every Labour voter, yes, and some others as well, remember how you felt on that dreadful morning of the tenth of June. Just remember how you felt then, and think to yourselves: 'June the ninth, 1983, never ever again will we experience that.'
- Speech to the Labour Party Conference after winning the 1983 leadership election (October 2, 1983), reported in Labour Party Annual Conference Report 1983, p. 30.
- We support the efforts to keep the pits open until exhausted.

- I'll tell you what happens with impossible promises. You start with far fetched resolutions. They are then pickled into a rigid dogma, a code, and you go through the years sticking to that, out-dated, misplaced, irrelevant to the real needs, and you end in the grotesque chaos of a Labour council—a Labour council—hiring taxis to scuttle round a city handing out redundancy notices to its own workers. I'm telling you - and you'll listen - you can't play politics with people's jobs and with people's services. The people will not abide posturing.
- Speech to the Labour Party Conference in Bournemouth (1 October 1985).
- We believe there should be reforms in the EEC which would benefit all the members. If these were not achieved, our policy is to preserve the ultimate option of withdrawing Britain. That option would not, this time, need a referendum, as it did before.
- On Labour policy regarding the EEC (8 January 1986)
- I'm a father. And no matter how much I try to convince myself towards the course of 'enlightenment' I know damn well that, put to the test, I'm what people would call a reactionary. I know it. I try and rationalize it but it's no good. I come to the same conclusion all the time. My children stand a chance of being hurt in the forseeable future by what's called permissiveness.
- Interview with Everywoman magazine (28 August 1986), quoted in The Times (4 September 1986), p. 16
- Those who have the immense dishonesty to fight with a ballot box in one hand and a rifle in the other have no place in democratic politics.
- On the Provisional IRA; speech in the House of Commons (23 October 1986), reported in Hansard, 6th series, vol. 102, col. 1287.
- That sort of fundamentalism which treats possession of private property not as a desirable economic and personal asset but as a condition of liberty is a form of primitive religion.
- Speech to National Housing and Town Planning Conference, Bournemouth (28 October 1986).
Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?
Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn't get what we had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand.
- Speech at the Welsh Labour Party conference, Llandudno (15 May 1987)
- This speech was extensively quoted in a Labour Party election broadcast during the 1987 general election. It was also famously used without attribution by U.S. Senator Joe Biden, although Biden had used and properly attributed the speech many times before.
- Speech at the Welsh Labour Party conference, Llandudno (15 May 1987)
- David Frost: If you haven't got nuclear weapons, the choice in that situation would be to subject your forces to an unfair battle.
Neil Kinnock: Yes, what you're suggesting is that the alternatives are between the gesture, the threat, or the use of nuclear weapons, and surrender. In these circumstances the choice is posed, and this is a classical choice, between exterminating everything you stand for and the flower of your youth, or using all the resources you have to make any occupation totally untenable.
- Television interview with David Frost on TV-AM (24 May 1987); reported in David Butler and Dennis Kavanagh, "The British General Election of 1987" (Macmillan, 1987), p. 103.
- What has happened is that there are people who, for reasons best known to themselves, have voted for maintaining division in our country.

text: Theda Baratheon #1 Posted September 21, 2017 A continuation of the last thread which reached 400+ posts here. To continue on the theme of Claire and Frank being unhappy in their marriage. Yes. they were. But I suppose you have to think of the good things that would stop them from separating as well. Name, Brianna. Frank can't have children and he already dearly loves Brianna and is firmly her father. Why would he leave Claire when he has Brianna? It's the late 40s, early 50s and not 2017. Also, Frank knows that Claire is ON HER OWN. Yes, she's a self sufficient and intelligent woman, fiercely so. But she's also lost, no longer comfortable in this ''time'' and has no friends and family and a young child to raise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And those remains from Ellesmere Island — the most northerly spot to ever yield camel bones — are also raising important questions about the future of the warming Arctic.
About three-and-a-half-million years ago, Strathcona Fiord on the island's west-central coast would have looked a lot more like a northern forest than an Arctic landscape, said paleobiologist Natalia Rybczynski of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
"Larch-dominated, lots of wetlands, peat," said Rybczynski, lead author of a study published Tuesday in Nature Communications. Nearby fossil sites have yielded evidence of ancient bears, horses, deer, badgers and frogs. The average yearly temperature would have been about 0 C.
"If you were standing in it and watching the camel, it would have the feel of a boreal-type forest."
The only thing missing, really, were moose. The camel "is taking that moose role, the really huge herbivore," Rybczynski said.
The Arctic camel was fully 30 per cent larger than modern camels, she said. Her best guess is it was one-humped.
Although native camels are now only found in Africa and Asia, scientists have long believed the species actually developed in North America and later died out. Camel remains have been previously found in the Yukon.
What makes Rybczynski's find special is not only how far north it was found, but its state of preservation.
The 30 fragments found amidst the sand and pebbles of the tundra were mummified, not fossilized. So despite their age, the pieces preserved tiny fragments of collagen within them, a common type of protein found in bones.
Analyzing that protein not only proved the fragments were from camels, but from a type of camel that is much more closely related to the modern version than the Yukon camel. Out of the dozens of camel species that once roamed North America, the type Rybczynski found was one of the most likely to have crossed the Bering land bridge and colonized the deserts.
"This is the one that's tied to the ancestry of modern camels."
Her research is also important for what it suggests about the Arctic climate.
Back when this camel was browsing leaves and shoots, the entire global climate averaged about two or three degrees warmer than it is now. That's about as much a difference as scientists say the Earth can undergo today without catastrophic changes.
"This is a super-important time analogue," Rybczynski said. "This is a period of time that's being referred to as a historical analogue for future warming."
Climate models suggest that if the entire globe averages a two-degree increase, the Arctic will experience a much greater increase of seven to 10 degrees.
But what Rybczynski and her colleagues found, in this and previously published research, is that the amplification of warming in the Arctic was even larger than that. She suggests the Arctic was in fact between 14 and 22 degrees warmer than it is today.
"This is where the fossil record becomes an interesting tool for us," she said. "We can ground-truth these models.
"If we can understand why we were getting this crazy warming at high latitudes in the past, maybe we can be more confident in our models and forecasting."
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said Rybczynski was a paleobotanist.

Monday the Syrian regime announced that presidential elections will be held June 3. The State Department dismissed the news. "The fact that you would even think you can hold free and fair elections in the middle of a civil war," said a State Department spokesman, "is absurd."
It is surely the case that the reelection of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad will not be free and fair. The last time Syrians went to the polls in 2007, Assad won with 97.62 percent of the vote, a slight increase over his 97.29 tally in 2000. And this was all before Assad started shooting at unarmed protestors in March 2011. Now some 160,000 corpses later, it's unlikely many Syrians will risk making their opposition to Assad known by voting against him. So yes, as the State Department notes, presidential elections in Syria, and especially now in the middle of a civil war, are absurd. The question then is, why is the Obama administration campaigning on behalf of Assad?
Assad will almost surely run uncontested as he did the last two times out, but Syria's political future will not be decided at the ballot box. It will be determined on the field of battle where the two options are Assad and the opposition. While the White House has repeatedly claimed that Assad has lost his legitimacy to govern Syria, it has also made its displeasure with the opposition clear since the beginning of the uprising. Indeed, the administration has reasoned that it is because the opposition is fractious and fragmented that it merits neither the White House's full political support, nor sufficient military assistance to topple the regime.
The big problem, says the White House, is that the opposition lacks a comprehensive and inclusive political program. "Obviously, a democratic transition is more than removing the Assad regime," former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said in 2011. "It means setting Syria on the path of the rule of law and protecting the universal rights of all citizens regardless of sect or ethnicity or gender." The new government, Clinton said at the time, must be "'measured, deliberate and utterly devoid of revenge."
The administration's public statements regarding a post-Assad Syria showed that it misunderstood not only the nature of sectarian conflict, but also the thrust of Assad's particular project. It was Assad after all who had established the rules of the bloody game of revenge that the White House warned his victims not to play. The regime's campaign of sectarian cleansing is meant to ensure that the Sunni community's inevitable desire to call in blood debts would compel the Alawites and other minority communities to align themselves with the regime. As Tony Badran, fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, wrote in 2012, the "pattern of deliberate sectarian killings [is] the product of cold deliberation by Assad. The Syrian dictator is seeking to irredeemably tie the fate of the Alawites to his own."
The administration's insistence that a post-Assad dispensation show special care to minorities, many of whom have fought alongside Assad, openly backed him, or profited from his depredations, is evidence of a ghoulish indifference to the regime's victims, the vast majority of whom have been Sunnis. Furthermore, it echoes and substantiates Assad's strategic messaging campaign that he, unlike the Sunni majority opposition, protects Syria's minority communities.
Administration officials argue that until the opposition can make similar assurances regarding "protection for Christian and other religious minorities" Assad is likely to stay in power. As the former ambassador to Syria Robert Ford said last month, the opposition "has been very unsuccessful at explaining an agenda that would not threaten the communities that are the pillars of support for the regime." In other words, unless the Sunnis promise not to make war against the minorities who are killing them, they won't win over the minorities, and they sure aren't going to win American support.
Another of the administration's former Syria hands rightly described this as "blaming the victim." Frederic Hof, now a fellow at the Atlantic Council, challenges Ford's contention, arguing that "opposition leaders have spoken publicly and eloquently about their vision of a Syria where citizenship will trump all other forms of political identification." In laying the blame primarily on the opposition, Hof writes, Ford exculpates the White House for "even partial responsibility for a policy catastrophe and humanitarian abomination." Ford, Hof explains, is not just articulating his own point of view, but the White House's, too. Even though Ford has left the administration, writes Hof, "he is not yet free to speak his mind. He is still on the government payroll and is therefore required to adhere to official policy and related talking points when speaking publicly."
Ford repeated the same White House talking points last week in a panel at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, where he once again scolded the opposition (starting here at around 42.30) for its failure to reach out to the communities that support Assad, and explain that they have a vision that doesn't include massacres or retaliation.
It is peculiar that since the beginning of the Syrian rebellion, the country's minority communities have virtually taken on the status of an endangered species. From this perspective, the minorities are caught between a hammer and an anvil, the Assad regime and the opposition, and it is only logical that as bad as Assad might be, he's preferable to a gang of bloodthirsty Sunnis bent on revenge. The reality is that while some of the minorities really do just want to keep their heads down and hope for the best, many others have actively aligned themselves with Assad and his allies. Indeed, as this sign proclaiming "Assad or we burn the country" shows, it is many of the minorities who give proof they have no interest in an inclusive Syria—a country under the "rule of law and protecting the universal rights of all citizens regardless of sect or ethnicity or gender"—but are rather determined to vanquish their Sunni neighbors.
The fact that the White House has made a fetish of protecting minorities, even as many of these rare wondrous birds have assisted in the slaughter of men, women, and children, shows that its Syria policy is not only incoherent but morally grotesque.
In spite of all the fancy words about freedom and equality the Americans like to toss around, Assad believes, at bottom they're just as sectarian as Middle Easterners—they care only about their own tribe. What the Americans mean when they say "minorities" is Christians, whose lives they value above all, even if their hands are dripping with the blood of innocents. What the Americans really think, Assad tells himself, is that the rest of the lot, the Sunnis, are expendable.
And this is the gory campaign for which Assad has enlisted the Obama White House's continued political support—the administration prefers Assad to the opposition because even if he's spent the last three years putting Sunnis through a meat-grinder, well, at least he says he protects minorities.

We signed Jose Mijares to a minor league deal with an invitation to attend Spring Training. We also signed Grady Sizemore to a one-year deal plus a considerable amount of incentives. Things are shaping up.
The B's lost to the Blackhawks, 2-3, in a shootout, and beat the Kings, 3-2, and Flyers, 6-1. As far as the Pats are concerned, we're done. The season is officially over. We will not be advancing to the Super Bowl. The Broncos, however, are another matter, since they beat us, 26-16. We couldn't run the ball, and the defense was porous. It just felt like something was off. I mean, granted, we were just really lucky this year; I guess the whole idea of a team fighting an uphill battle at every turn was a common theme in Boston. Anyway, we were fortunate to have come this far, and it's a real testament to the team to have accomplished that. We've won a lot of critical games this year, many of them close ones. And then it just ended. So we're out of the Super Bowl. It's awful, and it hurts. But we can still be proud.

Simone Martini of Milan, Italy, was recently named the 2017 recipient of the ADI-Home Instead Family Carer of the Year Award. He is being recognized for the meaningful and positive impact he has made on the lives of those diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other dementias and their families with his AL(z)–CINEMA initiative, the first film-event to raise social awareness ever made in Italy.
The ADI-Home Instead Family Carer of the Year Award recognizes the work of unpaid family carers who help improve the quality of life for the people they care for and the greater community. This is the fourth consecutive year Home Instead Senior Care, the world's leading provider of in-home care services for seniors, has sponsored the Award with ADI.
"Simone's ingenuity in raising awareness of this critical issue through such a publicly accessible medium is deserving of international recognition," said Jeff Huber, president and CEO of Home Instead, Inc. "We are proud to join ADI in honoring him for his impressive work and success. It is through initiatives such as these that we can help families across the globe erase the stigma associated with the disease and educate a greater cross-section of the community about its unpredictable nature."
For the last six years Simone Martini has provided care for his aging parents, Giuseppe, 78, and Anna Maria, 77. In late 2011, Anna Maria was diagnosed with an early-moderate form of dementia, causing Simone to come face-to-face with a disease that would slowly take his mother away from him. Though this diagnosis was and remains difficult, he continues to find ways to make the most of the time they have together.
Four years in to his caring journey, Simone learned of training sessions for carers offered by the Federazione Alzheimer Italia, an organization designed to improve understanding of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. After attending a course, he joined their efforts to combat the stigma of the disease and raise awareness for its impact on families. Here he was inspired and created the concept of AL(z)–CINEMA, or "the wrong movie." The concept: show Italian moviegoers a few minutes of a different film than they paid to see, before switching over to the correct one, providing a momentary peek into the confusion the more than one million Italians who live with the disease experience every day. The program has been a great success, with more than 150,000 moviegoers in 400 theaters experiencing AL(z)–CINEMA to date.
"The work that I'm able to do for Alzheimer's (disease and dementia) is an indirect, but concrete way for me to help my mother," said Martini. "This award serves as a tremendous reminder of how far we have come and how far we have yet to go."
Martini was presented the award at the 32nd International Conference on ADI in Kyoto, April 26-29. The conference brought together the world's leading researchers, healthcare professionals and experts from more than 100 countries to create an improved quality of life for people with dementia and their families on a global scale."The reason Mr. Martini deserved this Award very much is that he not only cared for his parents but used his experience as well to the benefit of the Alzheimer community in his country, Italy," said Marc Wortmann, executive director of ADI. "In him we honour the millions of caregivers around the world who do an incredible job day after day caring for their loved ones."For more information on ADI, visit

Hello All,
Yesterday the fuel gauge on my K1200S ('05 bike, 06 instrument cluster) stopped indicating the fuel level. The 'low fuel' warning light came on, but the gauge showed zero fuel. Restarting did not solve the problem.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Is this a problem with the sending unit in the tank? If so, is it a DIY item?

The Hunt in Reno, Nevada
Walking through the Reno-Tahoe airport, big-lighted signs entice you to go big-game hunting and other signs tell you that the likes of David Spade will be performing at one of the big casinos. Now, if instead of a bighorn sheep, you could go after David Spade….
I'm in Reno to give a talk at the cattlemen's convention. There is no cow hunting being offered, unless you count searching for the biggest steak in "the biggest little city in the world." Of course, beef is on the menu at every meal during this gathering, so what I really want to find is a place to smoke a cigar in peace. I call my "advisers" at a certain magazine and Web site in New York City and am guided to Fumare, a tobacco shop owned by Dion Giolito, rock drummer and the creator of Illusione, whose cg:4 is No. 7 among Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 cigars of 2007.
I had not met Giolito before this trip. His store is in one of the many interchangeable strip malls you see in the western United States. But Giolito's shop is special. First, Giolito has a great supply not only of Illusiones, but probably one of the biggest offerings of Tatuaje cigars outside of Beverly Hills. The rest of the selection in Fumare's humidor, which Giolito built himself, is superb. Every price range is represented and, more importantly, every taste is easily satisfied by something in the room.
Figuring that I've got to get to my hotel and actually write my speech, I picked out an Illusione that I had not tried before, the 68, a four-inch, 44-ring gauge, short smoke also known as the "Bombones." I started talking with Giolito and, when he got called away by customers, I joined the small group of regulars in the store's back room. I ended up spending two hours at the shop. The cigar, which I figured would last about 30 minutes, took me nearly an hour to smoke. It was one of the most enjoyable little cigars I've ever had. And it packs a very smooth punch.
I left Fumare with a number of recommendations for where to go to dinner and where to smoke after dinner not only within walking distance of my hotel, but within the hotel complex where I was staying. I had a room at the Silver Legacy, a perfectly nice hotel downtown. The Legacy, as locals know it, is connected to the Circus Circus and El Dorado hotels. You don't have to go outside (it's 30 degrees during my visit) to get from one to the other. Excellent. Two of the three recommended cigar-friendly destinations are in the El Dorado. The third, the Polo Lounge, is in another of those strip malls a few minutes' cab ride away.
I figured I'd get out of the hotel and check out the Polo Lounge. I called first just to confirm that it was indeed receptive to my enjoying another of the Top 25 cigars on the list, the San Cristobal Monumento (No. 12). The guy who answered the phone said that, indeed, I could smoke a cigar at the Polo Lounge, as long as none of the "players" objected. The bar has video gambling machines and if any of the suckers—er, patrons—didn't like the smoke, I would have to put out my cigar. The lesson here: with all the changing laws and sensitivities, call ahead.
I did the same in checking out the Roxy Bistro and Brew Brothers at the El Dorado, even though both were a short walk from my room. Both allowed smoking, but Brew Brothers only after it stopped serving food at 10 p.m. I headed for the bar at the Roxy.
This was not my usual perch for a happy hour cigar. The Roxy is both a restaurant and, in a separate room, a piano bar. You're free to smoke at the bar or in the piano lounge just upstairs. There, you'll hear a chanteuse more than capably handling standards and an occasional Norah Jones song and even Jobim in the original Portuguese. The pianist is very good. The martini list is too big. The ashtrays are too small.
Still, the Roxy is a relaxed lounge in which to sit and enjoy a smoke and catch up with some of the best beef producers in the world. We blast through happy hour and decide not to have steak for dinner. We make our way to La Strada, a very worthy Italian restaurant in the El Dorado, and persuade the bartender to put on the Duke-North Carolina basketball game. I have a too-large plate of fettuccine Bolognese, still somewhat in the beef family, and a glass of Aglianico, a very generous pour.
After dinner, it's still too early to hit Brew Brothers and sit down with the Coronado by La Flor Double Corona (Cigar Aficionado's best free-world cigar of 2006, technically second behind a Cuban) I have in my pocket, so I take a walk around the casino, where smoking is permitted. Reno attracts a different player, it seems, than Vegas. There are a lot of military guys. There are also a lot of guys who look as if they're just killing time until they get up the next morning to go hunt some of those bighorn sheep, but I discover that the season ended at least a couple of months earlier. Maybe they are going after David Spade.
Alejandro Benes is a partner in a group of restaurants in Southern California that sold 1.8 million pounds of beef in 2007. They cooked it first.

As you should be aware by now, DiS doesn't just praise and slag off bands, we also pluck the pick of the demo pile and the cream of the live circuit and offer them record deals in the same kinda way Rough Trade and Fierce Panda do.
The Kaiser Chiefs hail from Leeds and sound a bit like the bastard children of Blur, Devo, Pulp, The Clash and Dexy's. They often get compared to Franz Ferdinand and just last week the NME compared them to Madness. And it's the fresh blend of these elements of so many classic british pop bands that got us thumping the heavens with excitement and offering to put out their debut single 'Oh my God' on April 26th via Drowned in Sound Recordings. The catalogue number is DiS0003 and it's distributed by Vital. Oh and the b-sides are 'Born To Be A Dancer' and 'Caroline, Yes'.

Manual (Github)
This section is taken from the documents from Qtile.[3]
USE flags and keyword changes may have to be made for the packages taken from portage.
libxcb can be emerged from portage.
# emerge libxcb
xpyb can be emerge from portage. Make sure that you are emerging xpyb-1.3.1
# emerge xpyb
cairo can be emerged from portage.
Have USE flags set to

# emerge pygtk
# git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/py2cairo # cd py2cairo # ./autogen.sh --enable-xcb # ./configure --prefix=/path/to/virtualenv # make # sudo make install
As an alternative to virtualenv, you can
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
But the virtualenv is the recommended option in installation.
# git clone git://github.com/qtile/qtile # cd qtile # sudo python setup.py install --record files_uninstall.txt
Copy either a config from the examples directory in the cloned qtile (including a default config), a config you have found elsewhere, or create your own config.
# cp /path/to/cloned-qtile/examples/config/cortesi-config.py ~/.config/qtile/config.py # cp /path/to/cloned-qtile/examples/config/dgroups.py ~/.config/qtile/config.py # cp /path/to/cloned-qtile/examples/config/roger-config.py ~/.config/qtile/config.py # cp /path/to/cloned-qtile/examples/config/tailhook-config.py ~/.config/qtile/config.py
My config is config.py
The config I have based mine off of is dmpayton's config.py
Testing Qtile Installation
You can test your installation of Qtile while within another WM instance using Xephyr.
# Xephyr :1 -screen 800x600 -a -v -noreset # DISPLAY=:1 # /path/to/qtile/qtile
or using built in code:[4]
# echo "exec qtile" > .start_qtile ; xinit .start_qtile -- :1
For further information, see the Documentation section.
Qtile uses dmenu as the application launcher.
# emerge dmenu
You can run dmenu from a keybind in the config.py.
An example of preparing Qtile to start with a startup-session script for autostarting apps. My ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/zsh xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources xcompmgr & if [[ $1 == "i3" ]]; then exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session i3 -V -d all > ~/.i3/i3log-$(date +'%F-%k-%M-%S') 2>&1 elif [[ $1 == "razor" ]]; then exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startrazor elif [[ $1 == "awesome" ]]; then exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch awesome elif [[ $1 == "qtile" ]]; then exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch ~/.qtile-session else echo "Choose a window manager" fi

X and RandR
NOTE: RandR and Xinerama do not play together. Use one or the other.
I use an AMD HD 6870 with 3 monitors (2 DVI and 1 with an AMD validated Mini DisplayPort™ to DVI dongle).
Install xrandr:
# emerge x11-apps/xrandr
and if you want a GUI with xrandr:
# emerge x11-misc/arandr
If you do not have X configured yet, follow the link on the Gentoo Wiki
My xorg.conf.d folder for example: 30-screen.conf
Since the names of the monitors are already known in xrandr, I just use those names in my 30-screen.conf configuration. It doesn't matter what you use in your X configuration however.
Once you have X configured however you like, start qtile with either:
# startx
or, in a case similar to mine,
# xinit qtile
Starting with CDM
Another good tool for starting qtile is CDM (short for Console Display Manager). To make it work, just merge cdm
# emerge -avt cdm
and add it to autostart with
# cp /usr/share/cdm/zzz-cdm-profile.sh /etc/profile.d/zzz-cdm-profile.sh
Now add to /etc/X11/cdm/cdmrc the following lines:
binlist=( "/usr/bin/xinit ${HOME}/.start_qtile --:0" "/bin/bash --login" "/bin/zsh" ) namelist=(qtile "Console bash" "Console zsh") flaglist=(C C C) consolekit=no
and check that ${HOME}/.start_qtile contains just the following
exec qtile

Simon, this is awesome, thanks for creating it and sharing.
Does anyone know how I could disable scrolling on a card ONLY when the signature is being drawn?
In my case, I need to scroll down to see the signature field, but if scrolling is enabled, the card scrolls around while I try to draw the signature.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Making the Best Rods on Earth: Heritage Only Goes So Far
St. Croix fishing rod and you'll quickly realize it's something special. Lightweight and balanced, perfectly aligned and beautifully finished, these rods just feel right in the hands. From the second you lay the grip across your palm and feel the insignificant weight balance across your fingertips - before you even cast them - they seem full of potential and uniquely crafted to provide advantages on the water.
Then you cast them. You see the accuracy; feel the lure transmit feedback to your hand throughout the retrieve; experience the intense immediacy of the strike; sense the smooth delivery of power during the hookset and the satisfying state of control throughout the fight. That's when the advantages of a St. Croix rod become real.
But what is it that actually sets St. Croix rods apart from the competition? Some might point out the company has been handcrafting fishing rods in Park Falls, Wisconsin, USA for 72 years. Others may identify with ownership by the same family for the past 43 years. Long-time St. Croix anglers would undoubtedly also bring up the company's passion for taking care of its customers. Most, however, would simply tell you it's the rods themselves, noting their consistently great performance, super sensitivity, exceptional action, power and durability.
According to Brunner, St. Croix's rod-building process begins with a commitment to seek out and use the most advanced materials on the planet to bring out the best qualities in every distinct model. It's here that St. Croix flexes its engineering muscle by operating the most advanced R&D department in the industry. "Investing in emerging composite materials and innovating the latest manufacturing processes, we have created many of the industry's biggest performance breakthroughs and continue to explore new ways to make fishing better," Brunner says. "Lighter, stronger and more responsive rods all begin with these advancements."
Consider the carbon that serves as the primary building block for their rod blanks. St. Croix currently has six from which to choose, and all are exclusive to the St. Croix label. The company's SC carbon materials (SC stands for St. Croix), levels II through VI, each feature an increasing modulus (stiffness of the graphite fibers) and variable strain rate (how far carbon fibers stretch before failing), allowing St. Croix to fine-tune each rod to fully match exacting design specifications and pricing considerations.
St. Croix's SCII Premium carbon material features mid-modulus graphite fiber with a higher strain rate than fibers commonly used by other rod manufacturers. An outstanding choice for anglers who appreciate high performance without the high cost, you'll find these materials in the Triumph, Premier, Bass X, Eyecon, Panfish and Trout series, as well as some Mojo series rods.Mojo Bass, Mojo Musky, Avid, and Avid X rod series. Legend Surf, Legend Trek and Legend Tournament Series Bass, Walleye, Musky and Inshore rods.
In addition to St. Croix's carbon blank materials, the company also employs super-premium 100% linear S-glass in rods that require moderate actions or forgiving tips, such as those used in crankbait or trolling applications. This material is stronger and lighter than ordinary E-glass, and delivers the full benefits of linear fiberglass such as strength and forgiveness, plus elevated feedback, increased strength, action, reduced weight and heightened manufacturing quality as compared to other glass rods. This material is exemplified in Legend Glass, one of St. Croix's most popular and innovative rod series, as well as Mojo Bass Glass, and blended with SCII carbon in Eyecon Trolling and Mojo Musky Trolling rods.
Choosing materials with focus and using only the best is a great start, but St. Croix then refines them further using proprietary technologies developed through its suppliers, design team and manufacturing experts over the years. These technological breakthroughs increase performance and quantifiable factors like sensitivity, durability and strength across the company's entire lineup.
The cutting-edge technologies employed at St. Croix are mostly know by their abbreviations, but each spent years in research and development before coming to fruition. Among the most important are IPC®, ART, FRS, and TET.
Developed exclusively by St. Croix, Integrated Poly Curve® (IPC®) tooling is used to eliminate all transitional points in the rod blank, resulting in smoother actions, increased strength and greater sensitivity in a rod that bends from tip to butt with a parabolic curve.
St. Croix's FRS (Fortified Resin System) combines a fortified super resin with new computer-operated curing ovens that provide improved temperature and time management through all stages of the critical curing cycle. FRS prevents micro-buckling by keeping the carbon fibers in proper alignment. Blanks manufactured using this advanced manufacturing protocol consistently test 33% stronger than those built with standard resins and curing methods.
Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) is a process perfected by St. Croix that begins with precision-cut, curved blank patterns made possible by a state-of-the-art computerized pattern cutting machine. When combined with IPC-mandrels, these unique patterns create blanks with better actions and improved sensitivity. This pattern design and cutting technology is a dramatic departure from traditional straight-line patterns cut by hand.
St. Croix's key to producing the ultimate fishing rod lies in combining its proprietary materials with its exclusive technologies. For example, teaming high-modulus high-strain SCIII carbon with IPC® technology creates a rod with exceptional strength, smooth power and increased sensitivity, such as those exceptional performers in the popular Avid Surf, Avid, Avid X and Mojo Bass series. Comparably, using SCIV in combination with IPC, ART and FRS elevates Legend Tournament series rods to a level of performance on par with their name.
Simply put, St. Croix sets itself apart from the competition with an R&D Department and manufacturing facilities that are the most advanced in the business. But in the end, everything still must be put together exactly right. For that, St. Croix relies on the prowess and dedication of its skilled and passionate manufacturing team… and a lot of lasers.
As you can see by now, there's some serious science that goes into building the ideal fishing rod - at least those wearing the St. Croix name. Still, for all the great materials, components, manufacturing breakthroughs and technological wizardry, in the end nothing works unless the entire team is on board.
"We work hard to educate, inform and give our employees everything they need to succeed on a daily basis," Brunner reports. "We're all incredibly proud of the work we do, here, the superior product we turn out, and the way we go about our jobs every day. It's the spirit and dedication of the entire St. Croix crew that, in the end, really separates our rods from all the others. It takes great materials, cutting edge technology and dedicated, happy people to make the Best Rods on Earth® for our passionate anglers, and we wouldn't have it any other way." And that's what truly sets St. Croix apart.

Apart from bringing us laws, wars, peace, hanging chads, lobbies, sex scandals, First Ladies and Rough Riders, there have been presidents and Founding Fathers who have brought us all kinds of gadgets and inventions. Jump to see the best tech that the fearless leaders of the free world had to offer us.
Thomas Jefferson, the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence, also brought us the automatic door, swivel chair and designed the first ever macaroni machine. Ben Franklin, while never president, is definitely the geeks' choice for the man who never was but should have been—I mean, faced with he or Al Gore, who would you vote for?—was even more prolific. Blame him for bifocals, lightning rods, glass harmonicas and the odometer, that little counter that racks up your car's mileage, although Franklin's version was designed for carriages.
Finally, we have President Lincoln, the only US President to have obtained a patent, for a device to lift boats over schoals, after a couple of incidents when traveling by boat, first in 1831, and then in 1848, while traveling home from Congress. The patent application reads: "Be it known that I, Abraham Lincoln, of Springfield, in the county of Sangamon, in the state of Illinois, have invented a new and improved manner of combining adjustable buoyant air chambers with a steam boat or other vessel for the purpose of enabling their draught of water to be readily lessened to enable them to pass over bars, or through shallow water, without discharging their cargoes." Babraham's design never saw the light of day, however. [Wikipedia]

I tried an experiment in blogging last week: I posted a recipe for Sweet Pea Hummus from the new book "Meatless" from Martha Stewart Living and asked if anyone who made it would share their feedback.
The response was . . . mostly silence. I'm guessing we're all still caught in the winding-down mode after the holidays. Still, my friend and colleague Hilary Trenda did make it for friends over the weekend and shared her notes: Originally, the thawed peas and the mixture of tahini, cilantro and lemon juice seemed thin. But when she refrigerated it, it thickened back up to a dip consistency.
The men at her gathering turned up their noses at it -- too green. But the women liked it. And if you're looking for something for a healthful snack or to tuck into your lunch bag to replace the 3 p.m. junk machine run, it's tasty and it could come in handy. The editors of "Meatless" point out that a cup of peas has more protein than a large egg.
Sweet Pea Hummus
I adapted the recipe to use frozen peas, which are more available and usually fresher tasting than fresh peas.
1 cup frozen green peas, rinsed to thaw
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (leaves and stems)
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Whole grain crackers, for serving
RINSE the peas to thaw and drain well. Pulse in a food processor with the cilantro, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and cumin until smooth, 30 to 40 seconds. Season to taste with salt and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with whole grain crackers.
Makes 1 1/4 cups.

The recipe looked "questionable" to me. Something I would like to taste first before I made. I do love peas. Do you have any good recipes for them? I just steam them. Other than steamed, maybe English mushy peas, I don't know what to do with them.

Thanks, Mr. P. This would certainly have more flavor than mushy peas. There are all kinds of uses for frozen peas. For starters: Make pea soup (it's wonderful as a cold soup in summer), toss them with pasta, thaw them and add them to a salad, or saute them with a little olive oil and garlic.

Thanks! Peas are my favorite veggie. Its kinda hard to find a dish where the peas are the star of the dish. Pea soup, Indian paneer and peas.

A Perfect Day in Malibu: Waterfall Hike, Malibu Seafood, and Gelato
The beach isn't the only reason to brave PCH traffic and head to Malibu. On a recent weekend, I hiked a 4.2 mile trail to Escondido Falls, feasted on fresh seafood overlooking the ocean, and finished off with some of the best gelato in town.
The hike to the lower falls is fairly easy and shady, good for a family hike. Once there, you can play in the water or take the trail to the right to the upper falls. It's a short hike from there, but much steeper. At some point you will have to climb an incline using some ropes, taking turns between the people going up and down. Take your time. Also, you will most likely get a bit muddy, but it's all worth it. You'll be rewarded with a beautiful three-tiered waterfall.

text: Alec Baldwin to quit acting in a few years 2:30 PM PST 11/30/2009 by Corinne Heller, Reuters , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Says he doesn't 'have any interest in acting anymore' Alec Baldwin says he has lost interest in acting and considers his film career a failure. "I don't have any interest in acting anymore," Baldwin, 51, told Men's Journal in an interview for its December issue. Baldwin, best-known for his Emmy-award winning role in the NBC comedy "30 Rock" and the man chosen to co-host the 2010 Oscar ceremony, added: "Movies are a part of my past. It's been 30 years. I'm not young, but I have time to do something else." Baldwin began a television acting career in the 1980s and has filmed scores of movies, including the 1988 cult classic "Beetlejuice." He was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the 2003 film "The Cooler" and stars in the upcoming movie "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep and his Oscar co-host Steve Martin. Men's Journal quoted Baldwin as saying it was "pretty much it for him" after "30 Rock," "in a couple of years or so." He told Playboy Magazine this year he was "done" with his career in 2012 and would retire at "30 Rock's" wrap party. "I consider my entire movie career a complete failure," he told Men's Journal. "The goal of movie-making is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that." Baldwin said the 1990 action film "The Hunt for Red October," in which he starred and which made more than $200 million worldwide, was successful because it was based on a popular Tom Clancy novel. "And now, the movies I've been in, I never give them a moment's thought. Every movie I've ever been in, I just avoid," he said. Baldwin has expressed interest in politics in the past but did not say in the interview what he intended to do should he quit acting. Baldwin's interview with Men's Journal hits newsstands Friday.

Barking Crab (Boston, MA)
Barking Crab is a tourist spot but it's also an institution in Boston's Fort Point. It's a casual seafood spot - in a tent with a view of the water and the city of Boston. With that New England clam shack-like setting and the faux grass in a heated tent, Barking Crab is a meeting place that feels like summer all year long.
Obviously, I had to try the crab at Barking Crab. They offer three types and I chose the one I haven't had before: Bairdi crab ($31)

Review by Nexus 6:
"2016 sees the great musical come back of Thomas Werner aka Dynamik Bass System and it seems that nothing can stop him! In the prolongation of his "Computer Brain - Silicon Vein" digital release on Robotmachine Records in January, the German artist returns with two blistering tracks. The shiny opener "Teleprompter" brings you back in the glory days of Electro Funk. Serving up an irresistible Electro cut leaded by pounding TR-808 beats, genius melodies, warm synth arpeggios, and heading chorus singing "Teleprompter" while a unique vocoder will instantly put you in a circle! This is authentic electro funk from the future. Closing the 12", soulful "UR My Destiny" signs another milestone of a funky track. Based upon a slower tempo, the jam progressively unveils its amazing lyrics written by Sady K and vocoderized by Dynamik Bass System whereas funky guitars fuse into saxophone mind-bending sequences. No doubt you will not resist to the call of the dance floor after this! When it comes to create ultra futuristic or classic funk electro, Dynamik Bass System proves once again he has always been consistent in his dedication to the craft. An artist you can count on! Available in digital download (Robotmachine Records) and vinyl format (Dominance Electricity)."
