Friday, 03 June 2011 00:00
For the second time in as many years, the voters of Westbury failed to approve the proposed school budget as presented on the first go around. The budget vote on Tuesday, May 17 had 642 individuals voting yes for the budget while 683 voted no. There may be various reasons for this; cynicism, oversight, or perhaps just plain indifference, since both the proposed budget and the contingency budget were just about the same, a 4.19 percentage increase over the 2010 - 2011 budget.
Westbury shares this unwelcome distinction of "failed budget" with three other school districts in Nassau County: Locust Valley, Oyster Bay and Seaford. Westbury, however, leads the pack in terms of percentage increase over these districts, whose respective increases are 2.90, 3.94 and 2.92. One might argue that this is neither here nor there since school districts' needs vary and budgets are structured accordingly, but considering that earlier this year, Gov. Cuomo signaled his intention to prioritize the capping of local property tax growth at 2 percent or less, low budget increase could be interpreted as a practice run for when property tax cap takes effect in the 2012-13 school year. In fact, almost all Nassau County school districts with passed budget, showed increases ranging from .98-3.98 percent. The districts with passed budgets that crossed this threshold are Elmont, with 4.71 percent; Mineola, with 5.11 percent and Plainedge with 4.21 percent.
It is not clear whether or not the school board intends to rework the numbers and put the budget back up for a revote on super Tuesday, June 21, or if the choice will be to remain on contingency (austerity) budget. If it chooses to remain on austerity budget, it would not be the first time that our district would be in this position. The district had four consecutive years of austerity budgets ('93-'94 thru '96 -'97) again in '00-'01 and the last time in '03-04. Some people argue that by voting down the budget it sends a clear message to the administration that the public is tired of the yearly increase in their tax bill, and that waste and inefficiencies are largely to be blamed. But it is important to bear in mind that there are consequences to being in an austerity mode in that there are some things that the district may not engage, offer or participate in while operating on an austerity budget, including extra curricular activities, some sports activities and summer school; but perhaps the most important factor is that it affects the district's bond rating. When the budget is voted downrating agencies interpret this negatively, which likely results in down grading of the bond rating, which in turn result in a higher interest rate for any future barrowings.
The next school board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the library of Westbury High School. The public will have a chance to question the school board as to where do we go from here.

Wednesday's Mini-Report, 11.26.14
Immigration outrage remains quite limited
Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn warns there could be not only a political firestorm but acts of civil disobedience and even violence in reaction to President Obama's executive order on immigration Thursday."The country's going to go nuts, because they're going to see it as a move outside the authority of the president, and it's going to be a very serious situation," Coburn said on Capital Download. "You're going to see -- hopefully not -- but you could see instances of anarchy. ... You could see violence."
The great national 'Franksgiving' uproar
What may have seemed like a wonkish, technocratic, good-government policy clashed with what turned out to be deeply-ingrained feelings among many Americans about when Thanksgiving should be celebrated. The Associated Press story announcing the move said Roosevelt "was shattering another precedent," and quoted a town official of Plymouth, Massachusetts saying the traditional date was "sacred." [...]Republicans pounced, and used the move to portray Roosevelt as a power-mad tyrant. In an early example of Godwin's Law, FDR's recent presidential opponent Alf Landon said Roosevelt sprung his decision on "an unprepared country with the omnipotence of a Hitler." Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire suggested that while Roosevelt was at it, he should abolish winter.
Obama admin eyes major new pollution limits
The sweeping regulation, which would aim at smog from power plants and factories across the country, particularly in the Midwest, would be the latest in a series of Environmental Protection Agency controls on air pollution that wafts from smokestacks and tailpipes. Such regulations, released under the authority of the Clean Air Act, have become a hallmark of President Obama's administration.Environmentalists and public health advocates have praised the E.P.A. rules as a powerful environmental legacy. Republicans, manufacturers and the fossil fuel industry have sharply criticized them as an example of costly government overreach.
Justice Ginsburg undergoes heart surgery
Ginsburg, 81, had a stent placed in her right coronary artery at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. She was resting comfortably and was expected to be discharged within 48 hours, the court said.The blockage was discovered after she felt discomfort on Tuesday night, the court said. For the past few years, Ginsburg has been working out with a personal trainer at the Supreme Court gym, and a court official said she was there when she felt the discomfort.

The O2, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1
Atlantic recording artist Bruno Mars has unveiled details of his hugely anticipated world tour.
Mars scores 10th consecutive top 10 single on the billboard "hot 100";
"when i was your man" joins "locked out of heaven" in the top 10, breaking records in billboard's chart history;
The announcement of "The Moonshine Jungle World Tour" comes just as "When I Was Your Man" – the latest single from Mars' just-released sophomore album, "Unorthodox Jukebox" – has exploded into the top 10 on Billboard's "Hot 100" where it joins the album's blockbuster first single, "Locked Out Of Heaven," which recently spent six consecutive weeks atop the "Hot 100" chart. The immediate success of "When I Was Your Man" – which additionally earned honors as the week's top "Streaming Gainer" and "Airplay Gainer" – marks the Grammy®-winner's 10th consecutive single to hit the top 10, continuing his already-established status as the male artist with the longest streak of top 10 hits as a performer since his debut. Furthermore, the single's chart ascension places Mars in the history books as the first male artist to simultaneously place two titles in the top 10 since his own "Grenade" and "Just The Way You Are" doubled up on the chart in December 2010/January 2011.
The official companion video for "When I Was Your Man" – directed by Mars and his frequent collaborator, Cameron Duddy ("Locked Out Of Heaven," "The Lazy Song") – is also looking like an instant smash. "When I Was Your Man" first shot to the top 10 on the iTunes "Top Singles" chart within 48 hours of its official release last year.
Bruno Mars is undoubtedly among contemporary pop's most gifted and compelling artists. And with global sales currently certified at 40x-platinum and over 50 million singles sold worldwide, the 14-time Grammy Award nominee has fully proven himself as a true superstar.
Released in October 2010, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" was greeted with both popular success and critical acclaim from all corners of the globe. "The year's finest pop debut," raved Rolling Stone. "Near-flawless…(the album) delivers pleasure without pretension." Fueled by a remarkable string of hit singles, including the multi-platinum #1 smashes, "Just The Way You Are" and "Grenade," the album instantly confirmed Mars as a major force in modern pop music.
Mars soon racked up a remarkable record of prestigious international awards and nominations, with victories including a "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" Grammy Award (for "Just The Way You Are"), an American Music Award for "Pop or Rock Music/Favorite Male Artist," a 2012 Brit Award (for "International Male Solo Artist"), two Teen Choice Awards, a 2012 People's Choice Award (for "Favorite Male Artist"), a Soul Train Music Award, two MTV Europe Music Awards, two MTV Music Awards Japan, a BT Digital Music Award, an ECHO Award, and multiple 2011 Billboard Awards including "Top Male Hot 100 Artist of the Year."
As if that weren't enough, Mars received a truly stunning assortment of 2011 and 2012 honors from ASCAP, including the ASCAP Pop Award for "Song of the Year" (for "Just The Way You Are"). In 2011, he was named to the prestigious Time 100, confirming the superstar as one of the most influential people in the world.

NSA accused of new crimes ... against slideware
The NSA's much-discussed PRISM initiative has attracted criticism galore from political activists, but now it has come up against serious opposition: a ticked-off designer offended by the poor quality of the NSA's slideware. The designer in question is Emiland De Cubber, a slideware professional who has declared the NSA "can do …
Can we please move on to a post-metro design aesthetic? Pretty please? You don't have to steamroller every single graphic that exists on a computer. What's next? Intellivision's resurgence as the ultimate in "Simple" interfaces and design principles?
Mine's the one with a flat controller containing a number pad and large silver circle in one pocket and a cartridge for discus in the other.
Re: Yech
Not if Apple's iOS7 is any indicator...
Re: Yech
I for one like the flattened minimalist style, through that doesn't take away the fact that this guy is a self publishing prat. Still it worked for him didn't it.
Good to see someone with their priorities in order
Figues, NSA commits the biggest constitutional violation since a particulalry dodgy kebab I had a month or so back, and all this guy can think of is 'how do I use this to get my name out there' ..
Re: Good to see someone with their priorities in order
Seriously, The biggest attack ever against the US Constitution is exposed, and all that dingletwat can find to be upset about is "Their presentation is sooo tacky?"
@Captain DaFt Re: Good to see someone with their priorities in order
Upvoted for dingletwat .
Are you trying to force us to choose between agreeing with the NSA or with a powerpoint consultant!?
Well here's my way out of that trap:
I for one am glad that the NSA slides show no understanding of graphic design, for two important reasons:
1. It means that they probably didn't waste money on some self-important "slideware professional," and
2. At least we can take solace in the fact that those who've been spying on us have had their eyes raped by that hideous slide, and hopefully a few hundred more like it. It's not much, but it's a start.
Re: GRRRRRRRR
Actually, it probably DOES mean that they wasted money on a slideware professional.
Actually, his design is rubbish. I (like I suspect many people) tend to read top to bottom, so saw it as Google being first - the beautiful but very subtle delicate colour of the years along the bottom axis totally faded into the background. It's a really, really ineffective design, unlike the original, which may look nasty (and be describing something very, very nasty) but at least the meaning is obvious.
Re: FAIL!
But, but, you're missing the point.
It's far more import ant for everything to look not only good, but indistinguishable, than it is to actually convey anything at all.
Re: FAIL!
Whats more, at a quick glance, it looks like Google is most at fault. The truth only comes out when you read it properly, which a lot of people wont do! (So its not technically incorrect)
All in all, seems like towing the party line for the current administration.
(Note, I use the joke icon, but i'm not actually certain i am joking at this point)
Re: FAIL!
yup I agree.
Timeline is clear to understand.
Names of companies are easier to understand than logo's like the speech bubble... also if you don't recognise a name you can note it down and google it, if you don't recognise a logo you're screwed.. what are you supposed to do? sketch it scan it and ask google image search? Let me know how that turns out for you...
The only thing he has achieved is to invert the tones, dark background with brighter forground is sometimes easier on the eyes than the white background...
But, I wouldn't pay him a penny for that.
Re: FAIL!
I have to agree with the OP, I did understand the chart, but from a design perspective it is meh as it is open to be misunderstood. It really isn't intuitive.
Re: FAIL!
Has he not heard of anti-aliasing either?
Re: FAIL!
I (like I suspect many people) tend to read top to bottom, so saw it as Google being first - the beautiful but very subtle delicate colour of the years along the bottom axis totally faded into the background. It's a really, really ineffective design
Agreed. And this particular problem could be trivially fixed simply by top-justifying the columns of icons on that slide, so that the list of "providers" for each year starts at the same distance from the top of the slide. That still wouldn't be as clear as the original, but it wouldn't be as misleading as the proposed replacement.
A slide designer he might be, but I have to wonder if he's familiar with any of the actual research (eg eye-tracking studies and visual-comprehension studies), or the relevant theory in any area other than aesthetics (eg visual rhetoric, technical communication).
Of course, no one design is appropriate for all presentations. Audience and occasion should determine slide content and appearance, not some general aesthetic.
When I give technical presentations on our software to customers, my slides are very straightforward: a few short bullet points, a small section of a screenshot, a short code fragment. And they all use the style (font, background, layout, organization) mandated by Marketing at the time. When I present at academic conferences, on the other hand, my audience is rhetoric scholars - hyperliterate subject-matter experts who habitually analyze everything and are there for the theoretical concepts, not specific facts. So my slides are hermeneutic and don't replicate material from the talk itself. There are no bullet points. Some slides are just a few words or a phrase in black text on a white background; some are a long text passage with a few words highlighted; some are collages of text and images. They're part of a performance, to make things a bit more entertaining and less dry for the folks sitting through 75 minutes (3-4 speakers plus Q&A) of arcane discussion.
The corporate slides, which work well for their purpose, would be tiresome in the academic setting; the academic slides would be a disaster at a software user conference.
Re: Death BY Powerpoint
> They also drew a prism wrong.
To me it looks oddly like the Zune icon!
Re: Death BY Powerpoint
But they couldn't actually use a Prism as that prior art is held by Pink Floyd
Re: Death BY Powerpoint
I looked in vain in your post for the bit where you explained how Open Source would have mitigated the
"conflict between engineering data and management judgments, and a NASA management structure that permitted internal flight safety problems to bypass key Shuttle managers"
But I did not find it. Did you hit the Submit key by accident half-way through typing your post.
Re: Death BY Powerpoint
But they couldn't actually use a Prism as that prior art is held by Pink Floyd
I think Madeleine L'Engle would have a much better claim against them for the illustration they ended up with. Hurts my eyes just to look at it!
What will be interesting is finding out how the slides were taken. There are mechanisms in place to stop and track this sort of data from being exported, after all.
Re: Death BY Powerpoint
Good points about NASA - they buried the risks....usually with an empty casket. :-( Idiots.
Re: Death BY Powerpoint
"There has to be a push now towards open source systems and open systems that can defend (including by means of crypto) against spying that goes on by proprietary closed source code, e.g. Skype."
Eadon, go away. There are plenty of Register topics on the NSA snooping story, and the merits/use of encryption.
This article is about a powerpoint presentation. Keep your open source rants to a thread with at least some relevance.
Damn, I've been using Unix for 25 years, and an open source os and desktop for about 20, but your inane rabblings are enough to drive anyone into the arms of microsoft.
Seriously, the sheeple need to get some perspective. "The NSA may be watching my browsing!" Shriek, scream, run around like headless chickens. Bet they all sign up for Google's Waze, WILLINGLY letting a private and unaccountable third party follow their every move through the GPS in their phone, something the NSA can only dream of.
Re: FFS.
They also use Viber, WhatsApp, iMessage, Siri (and Android equivalents), Google maps and EVERYONE is providing data to Google via its backdoors called Google statistics and Google fonts (try to find a Wordpress template without it).
The main advantage of volume tracking for those with a clue is that the S/N ratio is rubbish. All you need to do is make your traffic look like the noise, a sort of CDMA approach to information cloaking. Not that I have anything interesting, but it pisses me off that someone decides for me that my privacy isn't really important. Well, screw that.
A "slideware professional" is a THING?
everyone's one to have their 5 miliseconds of fame
even an SSDE (Senior Slide Designer Executive)
When the revolution comes
the PowerPoint consultants will be first up against the wall.
There will be no revolution and PowerPointistas everywhere will sleep safe in their beds
The NSA will see to that.
Your comment has been stored and may be used against you at a later date.
Secrecy and aesthetics
Let's assume I have drunk far too many vodka martinis to be able to use PowerPoint efficiently. [I'm not sure, but the number might be 'none'.] I might then have somebody prepare some slides for me to explain how/when/why I lost the DB5, the exploding pen and so on.
And such information is, like, secret, as in SECRET Intelligence Service. [Unlike NSA, "Not Secret Anymore".]
Which office PowerPoint-wallah do I choose? Somebody who will try to show the world his work because he thinks it's beautiful, or someone who will try to hide his work because there's no denying it's ugly?
Re: Secrecy and aesthetics
Let's assume I have drunk far too many vodka martinis to be able to use PowerPoint efficiently
Having drunk vodka martinis is the only way to use Powerpoint effectively. And there's no such thing as too many when it comes to vodka martinis.
I eagerly await
The inevitable adoption by graphic designers everywhere of the delightfully retro GeoCities Chic.
Re: I eagerly await
" The inevitable adoption by graphic designers everywhere of the delightfully retro GeoCities Chic "
Spend half an hour cruising through Tumblr's blogs. There's a scary number of'em popping up that look (And Sound!) like Geocities at its worst.
So far, the only thing I haven't seen is "under construction" gif!
Art! Art! (Cue the Great Gonzo)
I looked at the NSA slide, and knew what it was talking about. I looked at the redesigned slide, and had to think. This is not an improvement.
Re: Art! Art! (Cue the Great Gonzo)
Agreed. Although the NSA slide looked like a college Freshmans first attempt it did convey the information effectively. The new design is not intuitive.
There's a lot of people (myself included) that prefer a simple no/low aesthetic presentation because you don't want the audience too focused on the slides. People suck at learning when there is too much coming at them and I would rather them focus in what I'm saying with the slides there just to remind them of key points.
He should keep his day job.
Nobody needs another fucking lowlow-contrast "designer".
Re: Useless
It's certainly going to eat up the toner if it gets printed out.
As amateurish as the NSA slides are.....
I rather prefer them to the Powerpoint consultant's version. Obviously one of those technically proficient types who assumes that because he knows what Apple's/FB's/Etc. logos are, then everyone knows.
Also that gray slide background makes the slides look even more Orwellian,
PowerPoint 101
Every tiny one square cm image must be full resolution, at least 24MB each.
Do not under any circumstances scale the images' resolution down. Do not compress the images.
It's critical that the audience actually see the images being slowly drawn on the screen.
Having a 200GB ppt file also helps with file security, and indirectly helps to ensure full employment within the agency.

Russia complains about military competition
Aug 07, 2007
From wire reports
MOSCOW - The Erna Retk military competition that began in Estonia Aug 7 is another attempt to rewrite history, the chairman of the Russian State Duma external affairs committee has claimed, promising to raise the question with the Council of Europe.
"In contrast to the Soviet-era Zarnitsa war games, which had an undefined enemy, the allies and enemies in the Estonian exercise are obvious," Konstantin Kosachyov told Russian news agency Interfax.
There is no excuse for such war games, the Russian lawmaker said. "This is another attempt to depict the Estonians who fought for Hitler as freedom fighters," he said.
About 70,000 Estonians who joined the Waffen SS during the German occupation of Estonia and fought against the Soviet Union were not fighting for the independence of Estonia, he declared: "This is a historic fact, a shameful page of Estonian history, and modern nationalists are trying to whitewash it at any cost."
In his words, this aspiration "is even more improper since Estonia has joined the European Union and NATO and thus pledged its allegiance to European values, which include the complete rejection of Nazism."
The president of the Erna Society, Meelis Ratsep, earlier told BNS that although the Russian Foreign Ministry has previously not attacked the competition, now in its 14th year, not a single year has passed without certain Russian publications giving it a distorted interpretation.
This year's Erna Retk started with a line-up at the St George's Night Park in Tallinn. 28 teams are competing, including 10 teams from foreign countries including Portugal, the Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany and the United States.
The first Erna Retk took place in the summer of 1993 when a group of history enthusiasts traversed the North Estonian wilderness along the route taken by the legendary Erna group.
The Erna group was a reconnaissance unit of Estonian participants in the Finnish Winter War who landed at Salmistu in the rear of the Red Army in the summer of 1941. Later the group joined hostilities in occupied Estonia.
On July 31, 1941 Erna fighters engaged in a fierce battle with Red Army soldiers that made it possible for thousands of civilians hiding in the Kautla woods to escape.

The Giving Tree, Skink, and the Lifted Lorax
Published: July 29, 2011
There's this part of the
The Giving Tree
that always makes me cry. It's at the end, when the child is an old man, and all the tree can offer him is a place to rest. That final image of a tree stump has done more for making my generation environmentally aware than any other kids book I know, unless it's the lifted Lorax, speaking for the disappearing Truffula trees.
We all have a short list of books that shaped us. For me, it's
The Giving Tree
The Velveteen Rabbit
The Lorax
Wuthering Heights
Cross Creek
and pretty much everything Carl Hiaasen's ever written.
I know, Hiaasen doesn't seem to fit with Bronte and Thoreau, and yet there he is, insisting we pay attention to how we're letting politicians muck up Florida. Turns out he serves me well as I watch local government make a perfect mess out of paradise. My favorite character from his novels, Skink, is a former Florida governor who violently avenges anyone who tries to hurt his state. Skink fights for the Everglades, the panther, and the trees. He'll kill a person before he'll kill a tree, especially if that person was about to kill a tree. He's just about perfect.
At Gulfport's city council meeting last week, two of our council members – the two I would ordinarily call the "greenest" – said "OK by me" to moving an oak tree to make room for a new sign in Clymer Park.
As much as I would like to do so, I'm not about to debate with councilmembers Sam Henderson and Jennifer Salmon why this is a blazingly stupid idea or why an arborist who makes money by moving trees will say whatever his client wants him to say. They can go buy their own copies of
The Giving Tree
. But instead of cutting down the tree, let's think about using Clymer Park's natural assets to the city's advantage.
I'm not a fan of Clymer Park. First we have the debacle in city hall with the sign in Clymer Park, next we want to rip out a perfectly good oak tree because it blocks the view of the sign, and all the while, we aren't really using the park as a park at all. It's more of a green area that sucks money from the city budget. Cut the grass, edge the grass, chemically manipulate the grass. Any Florida gardener will tell you that grass is the least economically sound decision you can make for your landscape. In fact, if we're talking about removing a living green thing from Clymer Park, let's start there.
What if, instead of a big strip of grass that the city has to mow on a regular basis, the city turned Clymer Park's weedy strip of grass into a lush subtropical landscape? What if Gulfport opted to honor the Clymer family name with a mini-botanical garden?
Picture it with me for a minute: fan palms and sturdy oaks lining either side of the park, ringed by spurts of fragrant white jasmine climbing the trunks of the oaks. Alongside the trees pink bouganvillea explode into color alongside clusters of purple crepe myrtles.
Clymer Gardens wouldn't just have trees and flowers. It could have a bike path and a live tree (just like towns used to have) for the city's Christmas decorations. People could walk along meandering, shaded pathways, pausing to sketch on a bench. Instead of the money pit with little aesthetic value you see today, you'd see a park – a real one, with all kinds of local flora and fauna – that invited people to stop and check it out. Painting classes could meet there, as could yoga classes and councilwoman Salmon's organic landscaping classes. The city, with the help of volunteers, could plant a second community garden here. The city could even plant edible landscaping and create habitat for birds and other wildlife. On Halloween, picture a haunted walk through the park, which would be free for residents but cost for nonresidents, so instead of dumping money into the park (after, of course, the initial expense of buying and planting the greenery), the city could make money on it.
I guess I'm picturing a park that everyone could use – and would want to. Sound a little idealistic? Perhaps. But I have a financial motivation, too: while the city pays to mow and maintain the grass that stretches from Gulfport Boulevard to the Catherine Hickman theatre, what I'm describing doesn't need mowing, fertilizing or irrigation. Even the groundcovers could survive on rainfall.
While we're all living my verdant fantasy, let's go to the beach. At last week's cleanup, the city manager said that if the city didn't rake the beach every day, the greenery would overtake the sand. While I love a day at the beach, let's think about that for a minute: what if we removed the grass and added in buff colored sand dunes sprouting saffron and malachite sea oats, purple railroad vines and yellow beach sunflowers? Add in a few more pine trees and we've created two things: a spectacular view from across the street and a return to how the waterfront may have looked before we trashed it. Maybe the city could even find the money for a beach walk through the trees.
Of course, it won't happen. Gulfport city hall has this odd attachment to grass: it's care is budgeted every year, even when we have to cut other programs and raise taxes. But think about what we could do if we capitalized on all the sunshine, warm temperatures, and rain. Think of what we could do if we took advantage of living in paradise instead of destroying it.
But no, I'm not going to debate with the city council the merits of moving a tree that probably would live another couple of centuries.
I figure we've got some real live Skinks out there somewhere, and maybe a few Loraxes. I'll let them have that argument. After all, someone's got to speak for the trees.

Cathy, you have hit the nail on the head once again. I was right with you and your fantasy park. It is such a shame on the City government to continue to pour money into a park that no one uses. why isn't it being used? Because it is USER UN-FRIENDLY. oh what fun it would be to sit in the middle of the "footbal field" part of Clymer Park. Glance out amongst the barren landscape of perfectly spaced palm trees(that give no shred of shade)and a few other trees that have NO bench to sit upon. what is up with that?what exactly does that say to you?they DON"T want our citizens to use it...why? could it be the residents that live along Beach Blvd? I heard they didn't want anything going on at Clymer Park. for a while we were having events at the park...now what happened?
If the city would consider turning Clymer Park into a showcase of ingenuity from our talented landscapers and artists in Gulfport than I am sure that the park would turn into a park to be proud of...full of citizens actually enjoying the fruits of their tax dollars.it could be the people's creation. volunteers could adopt parts of the park to maintain. it could be a jewel in the crown of Gulfport...a community project. it could act as a catalyst to mend the splintered relationships of community organizations and have them empower each group with working together for the welfare of Gulfport.The Clymer Park has a great potential to become the cure that would magnetize the energy of our community into a positive action.

The Third Shinobi World War (第三次忍界大戦, Daisanji Ninkai Taisen) is the third of the four shinobi wars that involved the majority of the shinobi villages. It takes place more than ten years prior to the beginning of the series and has been rarely shown in the series outside the Kakashi Gaiden. Because of a decline in national power, the reign of the Five Great Countries was crumbling. Along their borders, skirmishes with smaller nations broke out all the time. The prolonged war gradually spread its fires far and wide, until at last it developed into the Third Shinobi World War. This war turned into an unprecedented war of attrition, tormenting all nations with a shortage of war potential. Not even excluding a great power like Konoha, very young children, some of whom were barely out of the Academy were thrown unto the battlefield, eventually losing their short lives during the war.[1]
War Edit
Konohagakure and Iwagakure fought across Kusagakure after the latter had infiltrated it in order to lay siege to the border of the Land of Fire. It was not until the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge that the war began turning in Konoha's favour. Iwagakure was also known to have been fighting Kumogakure with various skirmishes between the two villages.[2] Sunagakure also participated in the war. Kumogakure was also seemingly a part of this war, with at least Konohagakure clashing with shinobi from this village.[3] These two villages finally made peace after the Hyūga Affair. Kirigakure also partook in the war against Konohagakure and made Rin Nohara into the jinchūriki of the Three-Tails.[4] Rin then chose to die by Kakashi's hands, rather than being used as a tool to destroy her own village.[5][6] The shinobi were adamant in retrieving Rin's body and not allowing it to fall into enemy hands at all costs.[7] They were however stopped by a grief-fuelled Obito Uchiha who unbeknownst to his teammates had actually survived the landslide that had supposedly killed him with Obito mercilessly slaughtering all the shinobi in sight. Some time after this, Madara Uchiha would pass away, but not before passing his plans onto Obito to fulfil until the time of his resurrection.[8] In the anime, both Third Tsuchikage and Third Hokage had grown weary of sacrificing more lives to ongoing stalemate and finalised a peace treaty over the objection of war hawks in their respective villages. Furthermore, Hiruzen decided to step down as Hokage while letting Minato rule in his steed instead of listening to Danzō and promoting Orochimaru.[9]
Effects Edit
Minato Namikaze became a hero during the war and gained fame as Konoha's Yellow Flash (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō) and was promoted to the rank of Kage at the end of the war. Kakashi Hatake, who was promoted to jōnin and gained his Sharingan from Obito Uchiha during the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, also gained fame as Copy Ninja Kakashi (コピー忍者のカカシ, Kopī Ninja no Kakashi). Itachi Uchiha was traumatised by the violence of the war and grew to seek peace at any cost because of it; The rest of his life would be greatly affected by this experience. Sasori earned fame as Sasori of the Red Sand (赤砂のサソリ, Akasuna no Sasori), due to his ingenious puppets dying the sand red with his enemies' blood. At some point however, Sasori left the village after secretly turning the Third Kazekage into one of his human puppets, leading to the appointment of the Fourth Kazekage after a long but futile search for the Third by Sunagakure.[9] The Battle of Kikyō Pass, where Kabuto Yakushi was said to have been found orphaned (although this was later revealed to be a cover), took place in this war.
In Amegakure, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, and many other shinobi formed a group that eventually fought the rule of Hanzō. Initially, they were merely preaching peace for Amegakure. They were supported and even invited to negotiate peace by Hanzō himself. In the anime, they unknowingly disrupted Danzō's attempt to disrupt a ceasefire between Konohagakure and Iwagakure. After Danzō used his men's corpses to frame Akatsuki of murdering his village's shinobi, Hanzō came to fear that they were power hungry and would usurp his power. He betrayed them and called in the assistance of Danzō and his Root ANBU while holding Konan hostage. The confrontation between the two sides led to Yahiko committing suicide, choosing to do so for the sake of Nagato. Left devastated, Nagato responded by summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path which slaughtered all of the Amegakure and Root shinobi who had been instructed to kill Nagato. Nagato also attempted to kill Hanzō who fled. This incident failed to suppress the group and led to a civil war with Nagato becoming the new leader of Akatsuki. The resulting civil war split Amegakure and ultimately resulted in the complete and utter annihilation of Hanzō's faction with Hanzō eventually dying at the hands of Pain/Yahiko.
Trivia Edit
- It was claimed in Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire that during this war, the missing-nin Hiruko was actively working to finish his Chimera Technique and have tracked Kakashi in order to brand him with his Puppet Curse. He claimed that, eventually, the Third Hokage ordered his assassination to be carried out by his former friends, the Sannin.
- It was claimed in Naruto Shippūden 4: The Lost Tower that Rōran was destroyed during this war.
- In the Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a peace treaty with the Tsuchigumo clan sometime during the war.

I broke up with him and now I am trying to heal.
Hurt me with the truth, but never comfort me with a lie.
I too believe that people can change, but only if they really want it. My boyfriend still won't go IC but after a great therapy session for me today, I came over after and told him the only way I'd consider staying with him is if he did CC with me. He reluctantly agreed saying he doesn't want to break up so he will do it. And I finally got it out of him that he is scared and he thinks it's just going to be the counselor telling him it's all his fault and he does everything wrong. I explained to him a bit about therapy and told him it will not be with my current therapist. So I think he feels better now. I'm glad he is going to go. Now I just have to see if he puts in the work and tries.
He also bought the book the 5 languages of love today. So I think that's good.
I definitely don't want a bandaid. I don't believe in quick fixes. I know in my heart that the only way my relationship can survive is through hard work and long term commitment to working us. Like you said
that is dependent consistency of action and demonstration of initiative in fixing the problems.
I definitely agree with that. I hope my boyfriend steps up, but I will leave him if he doesn't. I am giving myself time to figure everything out though. I won't rush any of my decisions. I am still trying to figure everything out. I know I'll get there one day though. Thanks for your response! As you know I always think you have really great responses. :) I appreciate and value your outlook/advice.

Killswitch Engage
Sometimes, a much-loved and highly successful band needs to shake things up a bit to keep things fresh and interesting for their fans and for themselves, all the while retaining the signature sonic hallmarks that have defined their sound.
For their upcoming sixth album, Massachusetts metal pioneers Killswitch Engage reunited with original singer Jesse Leach, whose vocals and lyrics on 2002's land
mark Alive or Just Breathing are fan-favorite qualities and part of what helped put KsE on the map as one of the most important bands of the '00s metal revival. Poll KsE fans and ask which album they like best and Alive or Just Breathing is usually right at the top of the list.
Call it coming full circle, returning to their roots or coming home again. Whatever the case and no matter what you choose to label it, Leach's return to the fold is welcomed and anticipated by all involved, from the band members themselves to the fans. Leach is a fitting piece of the KsE puzzle. KsE enjoyed a decade of success with Leach's replacement Howard Jones, who has moved on amicably.
"This change is very exciting," the band said upon announcing Leach's triumphant return. "We know you're going to love it. This is truly a new era in KsE history and it is ready to shred your face off. So, please help us in welcoming Jesse back into the KsE family; he is a rare and great talent, a fact that older KsE fans have known for years. Here is to a killer new record and a bright future. The five of us cannot wait to write this record and play shows together and bring that feeling to our fans. It's been far too long."
KsE burst onto the scene with the genre-defining Alive or Just Breathing, notching a Grammy nomination in 2005 for the title track from 2004's gold-certified The End of Heartache and following up that landmark album with the Gold-selling As Daylight Dies and an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live along with gracing the covers of countless metal and rock magazines around the world.
Through the '00s, KsE adopted a versatile, non-stop touring schedule. The band's road history includes two treks on Ozzfest, stints on Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos, as they have that rare ability to straddle the line between the metal and alternative scenes by touring with Slayer and Mastodon as easily as My Chemical Romance and Underoath
The band's DVD Set This World Ablaze also enjoyed Gold-selling status, proving that KsE have the metallic Midas touch.
However, KsE have never coasted on the wave of prior successes, which saw them become one of the premier, most successful bands to emerge from the so-called New Wave of American metal. With Leach back at the vocal helm and behind the mic and a renewed sense of what they want to accomplish, what once was is brand new again and 2012 (and beyond) looks to be another exciting year (and decade) for Killswitch Engage.
Miss May I
A year after breaking out into the scene, Miss May I have returned with their sophomore effort "Monument". Delving deeper into the source of anguish that fueled "Apologies Are For the Weak" (selling well over 25,000 records in 1 year), Miss May I present an even more eclectic side to the organized chaos they have earned a reputation for. Borrowing from a wider range of genres, the new album touches upon parts of thrash merged with melody and metalcore goodness. The intensity on Monument is unmatched by any metal release this year and all that emotion will be unhinged live this summer on the "Back To Your Roots Tour" as the band direct supports for The Devil Wears Prada on their full US tour doing sold out days in most major markets. Watch as these young guns become the next big thing in metal.
Darkest Hour
Darkest Hour is an American Melodic Death Metal band from Washington, D.C., formed in 1995. Though failing to break early in their career, the band has received acclaim for their three latest albums, Undoing Ruin, Deliver Us, and The Eternal Return. Deliver Us debuted at number 110 on the Billboard album charts, with sales of 6,600 and their most recent effort The Eternal Return garnered them an even higher position in the Billboard album charts at number 104.
The Word Alive
Over the past couple of years, The Word Alive has gained a global reputation for pushing the boundaries within their genre. But with new sophomore full-length 'Life Cycles', the Arizona quintet is set to join an elite club of heavy music luminaries ushering in the next evolution of melodic metal.
Exploring themes of both personal and musical development, the album marks the moment when The Word A
live took destiny firmly by the reins, determined to eclipse their past accomplishments. The follow-up to acclaimed album 'Deceiver', the group enlisted red-hot metal producer Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men), reaching a new level of musical complexity and composition. Continuing their worldwide attack, the band kicked off the campaign for 'Life Cycles' with a U .S. tour with Attack Attack!, before they tear across Europe, and into a full summer on The All Stars Tour. With a new album packed as solid as their tour schedule, The Word Alive are ready to storm into a bright future.
Affiance is a 5 piece band from Cleveland, Ohio.

Great constriction, and clear so there is minimal visual impact. Super easy to set up even though mine was missing instructions. I wish there was more pipe lengths and suggestions for levels to put them at rather than trimming the existing ones, but a quick youtube search helps along with trial and error. Just make sure the return is high enough or you will get it to overflow on startup. After the setup, I was impressed how quickly if started to work. It was only a few days before it was pulling some really nasty gunk. Adjustments are wonderfully simple. One you have it dialed in there are little to no micro bubbles in the display, minor bubble spray, and a small piece of foam in the return pipe chamber further limits them. Quite quiet, just the minimal fizzing noise. I doubt I would be happier with ant other skimmer in the category. Great Product By Harry on 7/18/2014 Harry would recommend this product to a friend I am new to reefing and BRS was very helpful in my choice. I have a 36 gallon bow front and it starting pulling gunk out within a couple of hours. It was packaged well an very easy to set up, however as previous people posted, I did have to cut down the intake tube. Very happy with this well built skimmer and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality skimmer. works perfectly! very happy. By derty kurty on 6/17/2014 derty kurty would recommend this product to a friend New to reefing and skimmers. i finally decidrd on this, after hours of research. It was easy to set up. I didnt find the instructions hard to understand at all like the reviews said. It didnt say where to set the collection cup but i just kept an eye on it for a while. I keep the bottom of the collection tube right at the top edge of the little overflow hole. Its doing its job very well, i dump half cups of yellow, stinky crap daily. Oh, shipping was fast as well, 3 days to missouri. Thanks brs. Does what you need it to By Jennifer on 6/3/2014 Jennifer would recommend this product to a friend I do not have the set up or room on my main display tank to have a sump. so a HOB skimmer was pretty much my only option. this thing does deliver it pulls plenty out though I do set mine to run pretty wet. I found some good vids on Youtube that helped me set it up. the intake plumbing is a bit too low to actually skim the surface, so you might want to cut it down to size before you set it up. great buy BH1000 By SM6 on 4/14/2014 SM6 would recommend this product to a friend The BH1000 is currently on my 36 gallon bowfront and the gunk it pulls out of the water is amazing. My water became clear and made my tank look crisp. The skimmer works well and the collection cup easy easy to clean. The only downsides to this skimmer would be micro bubbles getting into the tank. However, with some adjusting of the bubble guard sponges they give you, you can eliminate this problem for the most part. You can also cause the skimmer to overflow if you pack too many sponges by the outlet pipe, so just keep an eye on that when tweaking. The instructions are helpful and it is easy to set up. Looks very clean and aesthetic. I am very pleased with this purchase. Amazingly super fast shipping. Definitely don't mind doing business here! Great product! By zacuarium on 4/2/2014 zacuarium would recommend this product to a friend First protein skimmer. Everything I wanted in a skimmer. Easy to use and really does the job. Instructions are lacking, but everything else is great! Worth every penny By Newbee on 3/25/2014 Newbee would recommend this product to a friend Great skimmer vary quit and all around great skimmer the instructions are horrible but if u pull up reef octopus bh 100o on youtube there are plenty of videos to help you out easy set up Worth the money By VeganForLife on 3/22/2014 VeganForLife would recommend this product to a friend My old octo protein skimmer crapped out on me and after chats/emails to you folks, I ordered this. It even arrived ahead of schedule. Easy to put together, having had one similar; although you maybe ought to do a video about that? W/in 2 hours it was pulling skim-mate out of my tank. Of course I had to christen it in by not having the connection to the pump totally tight, and it started leaking there, but that seems to be how things work sometimes. :) I highly recommend this. I have a 72 gal. bowfront reef tank. I also highly recommend Bulk Reef Supply. You all have convinced me you only sell top quality products. Anything I've gotten from you has been excellent. Thanks! Great skimmer By Scott on 3/21/2014 Scott would recommend this product to a friend Bought this skimmer for my 55 mixed. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. Great product and packaged very well as usual from BRS. I needed a HOB skimmer due to not running a sump. After reading other reviews and comparing other products, my decision to buy this one was made. Very glad I did. Best Skimmer Period By dvs on 3/14/2014 dvs would recommend this product to a friend My first skimmer I purchased was a junky budget skimmer thinking I could save some money, I ended up breaking the skimmer. I took that as a sign to get something of quality mainly because everyone emphasizing to me NOT to skimp on the protein skimmer. I took the advice of everyone and purchased this bad boy, the quality, functionality, and performance is unparallelled to anything I could have hope for. Took out half a cup full of dark nasty gunk within a few hours of setting up. Definitely recommend this product to anyone in the market for a high quality protein skimmer. Great By art926 on 3/12/2014 art926 would recommend this product to a friend Works great! The pump is really good, very high quality. Really pulls out gunk By AR on 3/4/2014 AR would recommend this product to a friend I bought this for a 55 gallon I set up recently. It was pulling out dark brown nasty stuff within 2 hours. Instructions on set-up leave a bit to be desired but its 90 percent put together in the box.

Participating (a little bit) after all
All right, so, I've managed to work out how to participate without a) unboxing and setting up my computer just for the compo, in the middle of a move, or b) leaving little software dev turds all over someone else's computer, the solution being, use entirely portable (as in USB-stick portable) software for development. In this case, allinoneruby.exe, notepad++, mercurial (the command-line part only), pidgin (for irc), and whatever graphics software is already on this computer (such as MS paint, probably). This is made even more delightfully awkward by the fact that I normally do my work on a Mac desktop, and now I'm on a PC laptop. Should be awesome.
I should also add, in addition to my previously announced use of Ruby and Gosu, I may make use of chipmunk for physics, and I may steal some code out of an earlier project of mine, Operation Lambda. I anticipate using application-level code like menus, user preferences and resource management, not any gameplay code.
All that being said, this is still a busy weekend; nothing like 48 hours will be spent on this project.
Will try to enter…
I was hoping to be able to participate in LD16, and I'll still try to get something in. Since I'm in the middle of a move, though, it'll probably be something fairly small. That might be a good thing in any case, though, since my LD15 entry was too ambitious by far and suffered badly for it.
In any case, if I am able to participate, tools will be the same as in LD15; ruby, gosu, pixen, mercurial, and (hopefully) sfxr.
At the moment my computer is in a box, however, so prospects are somewhat dim; I don't plan to set up a development environment on my girlfriend's laptop (where I'm typing this), that would be rude.

Force India duo yearning for podium result
15 March 2013 – Force India drivers Paul di Resta and Adrian Sutil have set their sights on podium finishes in 2013, with the pair yet to stand on the rostrum. Although both men have been close on previous occasions, a fourth place result for Sutil at Monza in 2009 and the same for di Resta in Singapore last year, the top three has eluded them.
"It's not a secret that that would probably be the biggest target I've got this year, to get on the podium," said di Resta. "After that, we will set goals of what we think is realistic but I expect to be racing the likes of Sauber and Williams. The likes of Mercedes, who we were racing at the end of last year, they have moved up a step by the looks of it, but never say never."
Sutil, who returns to the sport after 12 months out, echoed di Resta's words and says although he has a certain amount of catching up to do, the team must aim high.
"There is still a lot I need to understand, especially in terms of the tyres, but we're in a good place already," explained Sutil. "It's difficult to set a goal for this weekend, but my target for the season is to improve on my 2011 performance and aim for some podiums. So we need to start the year well, aim high and take our chances."
