my favorite is sarutobi vs oro b/c it is so well animated in the anime
so far i say chiyo and sasori fight
Kick me high, hit me low, spit on me it's gonna take more than that to break my soul.
The battle I would like to see hasn't come as yet and when it does I will comment on it. For now, I liked the Naruto vs Sasuke Fight, (the first one). I like one-one fights. They show the Shinobi true skills without being helped.
im just going by the choices and i picked oro and 4tail cuz all the others didnt get my intrest
Naruto and Sasuke at the VOTE. Pure awesomeness. The ending was not shonen type. The powers were unleased to the fullest. The historical connection was just awesome. and most important thing..... Naruto's speech did not work!
Sakura and Chino definitely the best in my opinion. It was the first time we actually got to see sakura's true growth and that girl went balls out to get the job done. Using the explosive tag on herself to free herself, getting impaled with poison blades, it was a phenomenal, phenomenal battle!
Going by your list looks like your keeping pace with anime so as far as that goes Chiyo and Sakura vs Sasori is one of the most epic fights in the anime so far.
Before Sasori I thought all puppet masters where lame Konkuro's stlye still looks lame to me. Seeing what a real high level puppet master could do really changed my opionion of them.
Not to mention we finally get to see Sakura showcase her real skills. Her coolness during this fight made up for most of her lameness during the 1st series.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Chiyo/Sakura vs. Sasori is #1 for me.
It showed how much Sakura had progressed and how far she had come in general from the scared little girl before to now, plus it had 2 intelligent people fight 1 super intelligent guy rather than just rushing in Naruto style.
A pie in the sky?

The seasons of life
[Les saisons de la vie] 1892-95

Roussel painted according to the principles of Synthetism, using rhythmical flat planes of pure colour, with darker outlines. He also produced murals, lithographs and stained glass, but dated and exhibited few works, destroying many. The period and purpose of The seasons of life, found in the artist's studio at his death, is unclear. Four static, puppet-like figures are positioned against a theatre-like background. Using broad lines and patches of colour, the artist has articulated trees, rocks, hills and other landscape features. The autumnal palette, the careful interspersing of the female figures between the trees, the colour, draping and pattern of their robes, all contribute to the pleasing effect of this work. But somehow, something is missing.
Throughout literature and the visual arts the seasons are commonly portrayed as female figures at different stages of life. In Roussel's painting, the elderly female at left, with her hunched form and grey hair, may be winter but it is difficult to specify the other women as either autumn, spring or summer—unless the bare arms of the figure at right link her to warmer weather. The decorative quality and format of the work suggest a study for a mural, frieze, or panels for a domestic interior—like Vuillard's grand decoration, Public gardens 1894. Another work by Roussel, sometimes referred to as a second version of The seasons of life, shows very similar figures but all young, in a dark green valley, with less topographical detail. These works are also linked with a further pair of paintings—Meeting of the women 1892–931 and Conversation on the terrace 18932—in which the costumes are similar but the figures are placed in an architectural setting.
The figures are clothed in the long, loose, simple quasi-medieval gowns popular at this time—and also visible in Roussel's The terrace and Denis' decorative panels (works 105, 106 and 107). The artist and his contemporaries were familiar with Italian predella panels in the Louvre, especially those by the Trecento and Quattrocento artists Fra Angelico, Pietro Perugino and Filippino Lippi. There may also be a connection to Edward Burne-Jones and the English Pre-Raphaelites, as Roussel and Vuillard visited London and the National Gallery in 1892. For all its simplicity, Roussel's The seasons of life is an attractive, intriguing work.

Samuels inspires Windies win
Marlon Samuels clubbed a brutal half-century to help the West Indies gain a measure of revenge for their one-day international series loss to Bangladesh by winning the only Twenty20 International against their hosts by 18 runs.
- Related Content
Samuels smashed nine sixes, four of which came off the final five balls of his side's innings, in scoring an unbeaten 85 off just 43 balls as the West Indies ran up a mammoth 197 for four batting first in Dhaka.
Bangladesh battled hard in reply, with Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah both scoring unbeaten fifties, but they struggled to keep up with the required run rate and, despite having nine wickets still in hand, finished short on 179 for one.
Seeking to avenge their surprise 3-2 loss in the ODI series, the West Indies suffered an early blow after opting to bat first when they lost the big-hitting Chris Gayle for just six.
Gayle's opening partner Dwayne Smith followed soon after for 24 as the tourists slipped to 30 for two, but the ICC World Twenty20 champions hit back in savage fashion, led by Samuels.
Making the most of being dropped twice by wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim, Samuels shared in a rapid 66-run stand for the third wicket with Darren Bravo, who scored 41 off 28 deliveries and then, after Kieron Pollard had come and gone for a quickfire 15, put on a stunning 76-run stand in just 5.2 overs with Lendl Simmons.
Simmons contributed just 18 runs to that partnership as Samuels tore into the Bangladesh attack, striking three fours to go with his nine sixes and hitting Rubel Hossain for 28 off the last five balls of the innings.
That late onslaught ultimately proved the difference between the sides as Bangladesh failed to really threaten their target despite unbeaten knocks from opener Tamim Iqbal, who scored 88 off 61 balls, and Mahmudullah, who finished on 64 from 48 deliveries.

Stompin' Chris Pronger: the NHL sort of wakes up
Robin Brownlee
March 15 2008 03:04PM
First the NHL decided repeat offender Chris Pronger shouldn't be suspended at all for stomping Ryan Kesler of the Vancouver Canucks with his skate last Wednesday. Today, after further review, NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell issued an eight-game suspension that'll cost the Anaheim Ducks defenceman more than $600,000 in salary.
Not enough, considering Pronger has been suspended seven times before, including once for kicking an opponent—he received one game for taking his skate blade to Ville Nieminen of the Calgary Flames back on March 14, 2004.
Not nearly enough, considering Chris Simon got a 30-game suspension for stomping on the ankle of Jarkko Ruutu.
Double-standard? You think? The official NHL release is as follows:
"Anaheim Ducks defenseman Chris Pronger has been suspended for eight games, without pay, for acting carelessly and recklessly in an incident against the Vancouver Canucks in NHL Game #1062 on March 12. The incident occurred after Pronger became entangled with Canucks forward Ryan Kesler, who had fallen to the ice. 'In attempting to free himself, Pronger carelessly and recklessly brought his foot down,' said Colin Campbell, NHL Senior Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations. There was no injury to Kesler, and no penalty was assessed. Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Pronger is considered a repeat offender. He will forfeit $609,756.08 in salary. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. Pronger will be eligible to return Sunday, April 6, against the Phoenix Coyotes."
Just because the NHL went from doing nothing upon its first review to issuing a suspension of eight games after taking a second look at better video footage of the incident, the edict is little more than a slap on the wrist.
"In attempting to free himself..." Is that what it looked like to you?
And what about the 30 games Simon got? Like Pronger, Simon faced Campbell as a multiple offender. Like Pronger, he had seven previous suspensions when the Ruutu incident happened. Unlike Pronger, Simon didn't already have a kicking incident on his rap sheet. And, unlike Pronger, Simon isn't a marquee name.
Is there anything more cowardly and unacceptable than kicking or stomping an opponent with a skate blade? Apparently there is, at least when the guilty party is a marquee guy. —Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5pm on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer on Team 1260.
March 15 2008, 03:07PM
It's nice to see the NHL kind of come around... It's also a shame that it's not a more severe suspension, and that it took blogger and media pressure to make it happen.
March 15 2008, 05:23PM
The NHL didn't really have a choice after the outrage from the fans and media. I guess it's something. But it's like being given a glass of milk when all you wanted was a cold beer....totally not the same thing.
All sports leagues look to keep their marquee players in the game. Their prime directive is to make money, not keep the integrity of the game in tact.
Look at Ricky Williams in the NFL. That guy hangs with Cheech and Chong 10 months of the year and then still keeps being reinstated in the NFL. Its a joke
1011011: Good point. The difference is, Williams really isn't hurting anybody else by bonging with Chong. If he wants to piss away a career because he'd rather have a rocket in his face than be an athlete, it's a bit different.
Letting Pronger or any other marquee guy slide for an action that was part of a game, an event watched on TV, when the bar for stupidity like kicking has been set with a grunt like Simon, just doesn't wash. You're right, it's nothing new, but it's still sickening.
March 17 2008, 03:19PM
Maybe Pronger found out that Kesler is also carrying his illegitimate child and decided to 'take care' of it himself. Either that or he'll ask to be traded again and blame his wife for not liking the city. I'm just sayin'.

Royals prospect named Minor League Player of Year
Everybody says the tough season Kansas City Royals prospect Wil Myers experienced in 2011 will benefit him in the long run, and he wholeheartedly agrees.
That's easy to say now that Myers has enjoyed a monster 2012, re-establishing himself as one of baseball's top prospects and earning USA TODAY Sports' Minor League Player of the Year honors on the award's 25th anniversary.
The humbling 2011 season wasn't any fun when it was happening, though.
The sport Myers had played with such natural skill since he was a little kid in North Carolina suddenly had become difficult and not all that enjoyable. His confidence sagged, and Myers wondered whether he had hit his ceiling at Class AA.
He knows better now and along the way has learned a lesson that should serve him well when he takes the next logical step to the major leagues: Talent alone will only take you so far.
"It was the best thing that ever happened to him because it's always come easy for him," says his mother, Pam Myers, an accountant in Thomasville, N.C.
How the pick was decided
The USA TODAY Sports Minor League Player of the Year is selected through voting
on a pool of our finalists by USA TODAY Sports writers and editors and readers
at USATODAY.com. Each of our staffers votes counted for one point; the
winner of the online poll (Wil Myers) received two points.
The vote breakdown:
--OF Wil Myers, Kansas City Royals: 12
--SS Billy Hamilton, Cincinnati Reds: 1
--RHP Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Orioles: 0
--3B Mike Olt, Texas Rangers: 0
--OF Oscar Taveras, St. Louis Cardinals: 0
"He never had to really work out hard, so it just kind of reiterated that, 'Hey, this is as far as I can go on my natural ability. Now it's time to work to develop and try to stay ahead of everybody else.' "
That he did in 2012.
Making of a slugger
After tearing up the Class AA Texas League with a .343 batting average, 13 homers, 30 RBI and a 1.146 on-base-plus-slugging percentage in 35 games, Myers banged out another 24 home runs and drove in another 79 runs at Class AAA Omaha while batting .304 in 99 games.
Myers, who is 6-3 and 205 pounds, switched from right field to center this season. He adjusted his batting stance and became a bit more upright at the plate, generating more power and regaining his confidence. His combined 37 home runs ranked second in all the minors.
"I feel like every time I go to the plate I'm going to get a hit or hit the ball hard somewhere," says Myers, 21, whose team was headed for the Pacific Coast League playoffs. "I stood up in my stance, and that has given me more leverage on the ball. It really creates a lot better backspin."
That turned him from more of a doubles hitter — he hit 37 in his second pro season in 2010 —into a legitimate slugger.
Past winners

1989: Infielder Todd Zeile
1990: First baseman Tino Martinez

2011: First baseman Paul Goldschmidt
"He's got great bat speed. When he does square it up, it does some special things," says Brian Poldberg, his manager with the Class AA (Springdale) Northwest Arkansas Naturals, who have seen several distinguished prospects come through. "Between (Eric) Hosmer and (Mike) Moustakas, Wil's right in there with them two."
First baseman Hosmer and third baseman Moustakas are regarded as two of the Royals' cornerstones as they rebuild a franchise that has enjoyed one winning season in the last 17.
Myers figures to be another key piece, due to arrive as a September call-up or early next season, likely as an outfielder, although he has been playing some third base to enhance his versatility.
When he does make it, Myers surely will put to use his experience from last year with the Naturals, the first time he struggled for an extended stretch.
Myers was deemed by Baseball America as the second "best pure hitter" among high schoolers going into the 2009 draft, and he received a $2 million bonus as a third-round pick who would have been chosen higher if not for his salary demands. (He was ticketed for college at South Carolina.)
After batting .315 or better in each of his first two pro seasons, Myers got off to a solid start in 2011 before suffering a gash in his left knee when he slipped and hit a brick column running home in the rain in April.
The injury was stitched and stapled, but shortly after he returned from an eight-game absence the cut reopened during a slide and became infected.
"I remember after the game, I was changing and I could not walk to the bus," Myers says. "I said, 'Guys, there is something seriously wrong with my leg.' It was one of the worst pains I've ever had in my life. I honestly could not walk. I had to have a wheelchair to move. It was pretty frightening."
He required surgery to clean the wound and spent three days in a hospital, then missed about a month of action. When he returned to the lineup, his stroke did not come back with him.
Trying to be patient
As the 0-fers mounted in his first season at Class AA, the game became mentally draining, and frustration got the better of him. He no longer enjoyed going to the ballpark or taking batting practice.
"A lot of times last year I didn't even want to go hit," Myers says. "I knew I was going to get out. I knew something wasn't going to go right.
"I hit about .180 in July. It wasn't one of those funks where it just wasn't going my way. I didn't hit anything hard, struck out a lot. I felt like I grounded out to the shortstop 100 times in July. It was a tough month for me, and a hard year altogether, but I definitely learned a lot. I have had some struggles this year, and it has really helped me get out of it."
Myers finished with a .254 batting average, eight homers, 49 RBI and a .745 OPS in 99 games but built on a strong August with an encouraging performance (.360 average) in the Arizona Fall League.
Just as important, he boosted his training program in the offseason, working out in the morning and hitting at his old high school in the afternoon, determined not to go through a similar season again.
Poldberg says Myers was a different player this season, more open to coaching and more willing to work at his craft. His fielding also improved as he became more intent on shagging flies during batting practice, smoothing out a transition from catcher to the outfield that took place after the 2010 season.
"Last year was the first time he'd ever failed. He didn't really know how to go about dealing with it and working through it," Poldberg says. "His demeanor from last year to this year is a 360. He's on a good line right now to continue to get better and deal with some of the hardships.''
That's a big development in the eyes of Royals general manager Dayton Moore, who has seen similarly ballyhooed prospects Alex Gordon, Hosmer and Moustakas endure drastic peaks and valleys in the majors.
That's part of the reason the club is exercising patience in calling up Myers, who could use fine-tuning in his approach at the plate and a decrease in strikeouts (he had a combined 140 this season).
Moore also knows Myers will be greeted by enormous expectations upon his arrival in the big leagues. He got a reminder during the weekend before the All-Star Game in Kansas City, when the lines to get autographs from Myers were longer than for some Hall of Famers. The mere sight of the young outfielder elicited big ovations during the Futures Game.
"I don't know if there's a magic formula to (managing expectations)," Moore says. "You rely on the manager and the coaching staff and the players to help players transition and adapt to the major league level.
"Our fans in recent memory have witnessed what Alex Gordon went through. They've seen some of the ups and downs of Hosmer and Moustakas. They're terrific talents, and they're going to be great players, but there are enough examples here at the major league level currently that it's not an easy game."
Pam Myers is pretty certain her son has figured that out, even before hitting the big time.
She noticed the enhanced dedication last offseason, and she likes that, even after getting the big bonus three years ago, his main indulgence remains buying tennis shoes.
She also chuckles at his response when folks who don't know him well in Thomasville, a town of 21,000, asked him what he's up to. "I got a job out of high school," was typically his low-key response, not bothering to mention he was Baseball America's No. 10 overall prospect before the 2011 season.
"He was an immature 18-year-old when he left, and I can see how he's grown up over the last couple of years," she says. "For an 18-year-old who went out on the world with the money he had, I'm very proud of the choices he's made."
Next season, it will be up to the Royals to make choices.
Gordon is set in left field, but one of the two outfield spots could be up for grabs.
Lorenzo Cain has the inside track on the center-field job, but he's batting .243 in 53 games this season. Right fielder Jeff Francoeur, whom Myers followed as a teenage fan of the Atlanta Braves, has regressed markedly after a fine 2011 and could be offseason trade bait.
Myers feels most comfortable in center field, the same position often played by two of the game's bright young lights in the Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout and the Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper.
Myers played against them in the Arizona Fall League and would like nothing better than to follow in their footsteps, even though he's intent on creating his own identity.
"I don't want to compare myself to those guys because I feel like I'm a different player," Myers says. "I just want to play my game and not worry about anybody else. I feel like I would have success in the big leagues, too."

Last time we checked in on Mamadou Samb, he was fresh off a quality performance in the U-20 European Championships. The Senegalese born, Spanish naturalized big man didn't dominate by any means, but he played with energy and made an impact with his 6'10 frame, length, and mobility. Samb had a nice season alongside Xavi Rabaseda for Barcelona's second team, CB Cornella, in the LEB gold before flirting with the NBA draft. Deciding to return to Spain, Samb has added some weight and found some success in limited minutes in his first full season in the ACB, but remains a work in progress.
Based on our observations from October of last year, Samb's game hasn't changed too much, but the level of competition he's competing at has skyrocketed. Able to impose his size around the basket on the youth and LEB levels, Samb has faced new challenges since first suiting up with CB Granada. Averaging just 9 minutes per-game behind former Golden State Warrior Rob Kurz and Minnesota Timberwolves draft pick Paulo Prestes, Samb is fairly low on Granada's depth chart. He isn't more than a fifth option when he steps on the floor, meaning he gets very few chances to show what he can do in the post or in one-on-one situations in general. This would likely be true in more situations, since his lack of physical strength would make it difficult for him to establish position down low and his floor game is only in its infancy.
Regardless, Samb still flashes some of the same skills that made him productive in the LEB and on the junior level. He stays active on both ends, allowing him to earn some easy looks around the rim, which he finishes at a good rate. He also flashes the ability to knock down jump shots out to the three-point line, something it took his brother Chiekh much longer to develop during his NBA stint. Samb's consistency from that range remains erratic at best, and though he can put the ball on the floor for an occasional straight line drive, his floor game lacks polish and he still needs to continue working on his hands and developing his skill-level to become a more attractive prospect from a NBA perspective.
Defensively, Samb lacks the bulk to defend the paint, the lateral quickness to step out and defend the perimeter, leaves his feet too easily down low, and is clearly still polishing his fundamentals. It will take him some time to get used to making crisp rotations to cut off driving lanes, as he seems a step slow. Despite his limitations, his tremendous wingspan causes some problems for would-be finishers at the rim, and he plays with nice energy and scrappiness that leaves some room for optimism if he improves his strength and awareness.
Looking forward, Samb may not be a prime candidate to hear his name called in the NBA draft when he becomes automatically eligible this June, but he has size, length, and is still gaining experience. His brother has made some strides over the years, but Samb should look to Boniface N'Dong as an example of how to parlay a long, skinny frame into a highly successful career in European basketball.
Senegalese born, but naturalized as a Spaniard and the brother of former Detroit Piston and Denver Nugget Cheick Samb, Mamadou Samb is an athletic player with a tremendous wingspan. He shows average hands and passing ability but is reasonably quick and agile despite showing a thin frame. His lack of strength is currently one of the main things holding him back as an interior player on both ends of the floor.
Samb is not shy about doing the dirty work, which is a very nice sign. He did a good job going after loose balls and crashing the offensive glass, indeed finishing second in that category with 2.9 per game. He also sets good screens and emerged as one of the best shot-blockers in the tournament.
His defensive awareness is generally okay, especially in the low post. On the perimeter he still has to improve both his ability to guard the pick and roll and make better weak-side rotations to cut off driving lanes. He does do a nice job contesting shots around the rim, thanks to his excellent length. Hes working more and more on boxing out for defensive rebounds, but here hes also affected by his lack of strength. He still came up with 7 rebounds per game, which is pretty solid for the 25 minutes he averaged.
Offensively, he shows a very nice shooting stroke with range out to the 3-point line, even if his release is not terribly quick. Although he will occasionally hit a jumper off the dribble, hes most valuable in catch and shoot situations. Although hes not bashful about taking perimeter jumpers from the mid-range area, he only attempted nine 3-pointers over the whole championship. The 22% he shot from there isnt an exact indication of his potential here, as this appears to be a part of his game that he can continue to hone significantly over time, especially as his shot-selection improves.
Samb doesnt show much of a dribble-drive, and generally doesnt draw a great deal of fouls. However he reads game situations quite well to choose the appropriate moment to cut to the basket from the weak side. His right hand is more reliable than his left, but he shows basic ability to finish and handle the ball with both. In the low post he needs to continue to add polish and increase his repertoire of moves. Turnaround jumpers and a basic right jump hook are his main forte at the moment. He did a solid job running the court and finishing fast breaks as well.
Samb played a relatively consistent tournament, without really standing out in a notable way. Hes not a player who imposes himself on the offense right now, looking comfortable fitting in with his teammates. He shows nice potential as a face the basket big man, which will always earn him a paycheck in Europe at the very least. Hes made a lot of progress over the past two years, which is a very encouraging sign. Right now his rights are owned by Barcelona, where he shares time with the second division team they are affiliated with, Cornella.
An athletic power-forward with a great wing-span, we really didn't get to see much of anything from Mamadou Samb this week, who was forced to play small forward out of necessity. This was the first time Samb had ever been placed in this spot, and he struggled as a result.
During the practices, Samb struggled showing a high skill-level during the drills, but always made an impact once the team starting going up and down in the scrimmages. An athletic player who can run the floor, he showed very good rebounding instincts, a solid jumper, and good defensive ability. His rebounding and defense were both solid in the game, but he didn't receive the ball once in a spot where he was comfortable taking a shot.
Samb has developed quite nicely in Spain this season from everything we've heard, and his rights belong to FC Barcelona. The roster worked against his favor for him to show anything too impressive this week, and he will probably remain in Spain a couple more years before thinking of declaring for the draft. Maybe we'll see an appearance from him at EuroCamp, which could be a much better situation for him to showcase himself against NBA scouts.
There wasnt a great deal of definitive conclusions to be gleaned from watching them strictly in this setting, but it is pretty obvious that Mamadou Samb is someone that teams need to at least take a look at based on his physical tools and skill-level. Samb looks like a legit 6-10 with a very nice frame and wingspan, and in this particular workout shot the ball very well from beyond the arc. Usually you dont see players of his mold stepping out beyond the 3-point line like that, which is intriguing.
We had the chance this past week to take a glimpse of Mamadou Samb, one of the top prospects of the (so far) lousy 1989 international class. His rights belong to AXA F.C.Barcelona, and hes playing on the farm team Cornella, in LEB Plata, the Spanish third division.
Despite showing promise as always, Samb looks extremely raw. Hes being constantly outmuscled in a division that features plenty of veterans. Very skinny, Sambs physical development is taking time. His frame is not the worst around, and he seems to have already added some muscle from the last time we saw him, but theres a lot more work to be done.
It was very interesting to see him evolving in different situations, as Samb moved all over the court. Perimeter, high post, low post or transition. For a 6-10 kid, hes certainly very athletic, and particularly shows light feet, running the court like a deer. On the other hand, it wasnt pretty whenever he received the ball with his back to the basket, showing poor footwork and an ugly right-handed jumphook that didnt look reliable at all.
Samb delivered more intriguing stuff from the perimeter. He can shoot the ball with range out to the three-point line. His mechanics look decent, perhaps a bit slow, but anyway, he needs to gain consistency. Besides, he can put the ball on the floor showing nice ball-handling skills. He once attacked his match-up going right and performed a crossover between the legs to change directions, but unfortunately was called for travelling on the first step. Still the move looked great, showcasing excellent coordination and nice quickness. He was pretty active setting picks for his teammates, also rolling asking for the ball, but he was rarely rewarded with a pass.
Very foul prone, Samb suffers on defense due his physical shortcomings. He still cant keep up with any decent veteran low post players. Even worse, he was eventually caught off guard allowing slower opponents to take him off the dribble near the basket, probably because he was focusing on not being banged around. When it was time to clean the boards, even if his effectiveness is seriously hurt by his physical struggles fighting for position, Samb grabbed some very nice rebounds in traffic. He does seem to have good hands.
Barring dramatic progression, dont expect to see Samb in the draft or in top European competition for a few years. Right now, hes not even ready to play in LEB Oro (second division), and only averages 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17 minutes per game in LEB Plata. In a logical development of his situation, next year he should be establishing himself as a solid player in his current category, making the jump to LEB Oro for the 2009/10 season, and perhaps landing in the ACB in the 2010/11 campaign, right in time to be selected in the draft the year he becomes automatically eligible. However, you never know, as players rarely show a regular progressive evolution, particularly concerning their effectiveness on the basketball court, but instead stay pretty still or make big jumps depending on some key factors in their game. In Sambs case, the first (although not the only by any means) is likely his physical build.
Obviously we havent opened this chapter to specifically talk about these two guys. Its Mamadou Samb who is our real concern here. Hes a very long and athletic player with truly great potential, and he came back to LHospitalet after last years introductory performance. However, how Samb and Winterthur F.C.Barcelona are handling the development of that potential seems worrying, at least from what weve seen in the tournament. Just like last year, Samb keeps playing as a pure center, spending 90% of his time on the court asking for the ball in the low post, but we havent seen any improvement in this area. Hes still the same skinny guy who regularly gets outmuscled, and he did suffer to establish position and go to work with his back to the basket. He didnt seem too feel comfortable at all there, particularly when he put the ball on the floor to start a move, while he didnt show any significant footwork to feel intrigued about. All in all, he was pretty much a non-factor down low.
While the way that his team played might not have been the best to take advantage of all of his ability in this competition, Samb still managed to show off most of his skills over the weekend.
Already expected to be the most interesting NBA prospect of the ones participating in Pragues tournament due to his athleticism and ability to play on the perimeter, Samb looked dominant in the paint and was unstoppable with one-on-one defenses. Although his frame is thin and definitely needs to be improved to survive inside, Samb surprisingly already presents the physical attributes, lateral quickness and shooting abilities to succeed in this new position, as before he was more delicate and perimeter-oriented. Sambs perimeter skills were not needed that much, as his team was asking for him to defend the paint, as a strong big man and not play the way he used to. They wanted him to be as close to the paint as possible, so he could use his size and athleticism to come up with easy baskets, and most of the time Samb found it extremely easy to do so.
Playing center for some stretches, he could just grab the ball and finish, usually with a dunk, or shoot from mid-range with fine results. His footwork is much better than your average big man as his thin body is lanky, allowing him to slide and avoid opponents wisely. On some occasions, he tried to move to the perimeter in order to spread the defense, but his coach was looking for him to achieve easy baskets, so his was again back in the paint making it difficult for the opposing team. On defense, Samb was an extremely dominant presence, the only true defensive big man this weekend. His defensive timing was really good, achieving consecutive blocks on some occasions and being alert most of the time. His leaping ability is far better than average and he also showed that he can cover the paint alone. Help-defense also seemed fine thanks to his well appreciated footwork and his long hands, while he also came up with a couple of smart steals over the weekend. His rebounding mechanics were phenomenally good for a guy of his age, as once again, he didnt need much help of teammates. He was the best defensive rebounder in Prague and the one who could position himself better than anyone else.
Despite all the goods, Samb underachieved over the weekend. Not only did Barcelona use him at center for more than they probably should, he also looked passive for longer stretches than expected. Given his defensive tools and athletic superiority, one would expect dominant performances by him, but he seemed mentally down on some occasions. While he was often asking for the ball to become more creative than a post scorer, his teammates were either not passing or he was unable to take advantage of his abilities. At times he was non-existent on the court, even getting blocked by smaller opponents in the high post or even in the paint. Suffering a bit from Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hide syndrome, Samb needed consecutive baskets or blocks to boost his mentality and this seems that is the real case for him, since he moved from the perimeter to the post. When he attempted three-point shots he did it in a clumsy way and on consecutive possessions, not only making it easy for the opposing defenses to guard him, but also helping them to achieve easy baskets. This happened versus Zalgiris when he attempted three straight treys, with the third one being a desperate airball before he was ordered back to the paint. In order to succeed in the post, he has to prioritize the needs of this new role of his. It was obvious that he wanted people to see his skills, his nice passing ability, his three point mechanics, his creativity, but nobody saw all that without also seeing a moody and unstable athlete trying to prove things that his team wouldnt let him do. Samb is a power forward/center now and when he plays like one, he is very good. He has to first learn to create in the paint and then on the perimeter before he can step out to shoot on specific occasions, and only when following his teams system. His mental improvement will allow him to learn all that, because he doesnt lack the skills to succeed at either the power forward or the center position.
The next big thing from Spain (Samb is Senegalese, but he will soon receive a Spanish passport) is Mamadou Samb. Him, with his elder brother Cheik Samb (born in 1984 and whom youll read about at DraftExpress in the near future), were taken from Senegal by Arona, a club from the Canary Islands, and were both signed by FC Barcelona about a year ago.
Exaggeratedly compared with a young Kevin Garnett by some media (typical stuff from the Spanish sports media), the truth is that Mamadou shows impressive potential even if he failed to dominate in a tournament that severely lacked size.
Samb is an athletic big standing 6-10 with an excellent wingspan, who might not be done growing yet (his brother is 7-1 tall). Hes very skinny, physically raw, and was regularly out-muscled in the tournament. His frame is not the worst you will find in international basketball, but much better suited for the power forward position rather than the center spot, while his athleticism should allow him to play there. Indeed Samb is not only about physical or athletic attributes. His skill set, especially considering that hes a big, has been repeatedly praised (which is where the Garnett comparisons come from). However, according to some sources (our eventual Spanish collaborator Juan Antonio Hinojo among them), FC Barcelona is focused on playing him primarily in the paint over the last few months, and the kid every day shows less of a variety of skills. What weve seen here only reinforces that impression.
Of course, its very important for Samb to develop a reliable low post game to take advantage of his size and look for high-percentage shots. He still doesnt look comfortable posting up his defenders, not only because of his lack of strength, but also because of poor footwork. He does enjoy nice foot-speed and a soft touch to finish around the basket with semi-hook shots, though. Anyway, it would be a big mistake to limit his potential offensive versatility to strictly being a back-to-the-basket threat.
Samb still left some hints of his face-up game in the form of a few jumpers, showing three-point range and even some off-the-dribble ability, although with slightly unorthodox mechanics, or a slashing movement with nice quickness while putting the ball on the floor decently.
For a player so hyped in advance, his performance was certainly a bit disappointing. He easily amassed stats, but didnt dominate the way he was supposed to do, suffering the transition from cadets to junior category, where he faces relatively stronger rivals. Still the potential is there, making him one of the top 1989 prospects on the international scene.

Comments: This is such a great little worm. I have it in the watermelon with red flecks and it just straight up catches fish!!! I was on a private pond in alabama and must have pulled out 8 or so fish with in an hour! The next day i went out on a little john boat with a trolling motor on it. That day i caught 12 fish! My biggest fish that day was just over 4 pounds. It was almost every other cast i had a hit. Only reason i didn't catch more is because i ran out. So if you want a smaller size worm that is cheap and effective then you need to pick up a couple packs of these.
From: Chuck: Birmingham, AL 5/2/14
Comments: Used to buy these at wal mart. Very versatile. I'd suggest a few ways to rig em but you're a big boy/girl, use yer imagination.
From: Jay6: USA 4/20/14
Comments: I couldn't be happier with these baits I have caught numerous large mouth bass. The largest one that I have caught on them thus far is a 10 lb 1 oz a couple of weeks ago.
From: Danny: Wilburton, OK USA
Comments: This bait catches fish better than I could have ever imagined. Smallmouth and largemouth love them. It is a profile which is among the best imitations for crawfish around, yet it is seldom used by anglers. The perfect combo! Wacky, texas, jig trailer or my favorite - SHAKYHEAD!
From: Bird Dog: Northeast, USA
Comments: I love this bait. I use it WACKY style and with various weight jigs. Bass haven't seen this profile before so they devour it. It fooled a 9 lb. 3 oz. largemouth last week.
From: Kenneth: Aiken, SC
Comments: The guy who said "won't catch a thing" probably says that about everything he uses. Great lure when applied properly, to the right situation(spawn, mid summer finesse) Cut in half dip in chartruse dye and texas rig on light line little or no weight. Smallmouth killer!!! C-rig just like a centipede!!
From: BJ: Gallipolis, OH
Comments: Don't use these, they don't work- i promise, you won't catch a thing. jk. These things will out fish a senko at certain times. Sight fishing in the spring.
Comments: NEKO...NEKO...NEKO! Perfect for that rig.

Interesting theory, it actually makes good sense to some point. Maybe its just that simple, to use kyuubi's chakra to sustain attacks like the rasen-shuriken. iirc, tsunade said that naruto's cells that carry the chakra could be sliced/cut wen he uses it, so maybe w/kyuubi's chakra he will eliminate such risks.
Or it just be completely something else. I guess only time will tell. Good theory tho =]

Springfield officials are expanding a crime prevention program that uses military counter-insurgency tactics into the city's South End. They announced Monday a $1 million grant from the US Justice Department for the program.
The strategy developed by the state police is called Counter Criminal Continuum or C3 policing, which is based on the military's counter-insurgency programs.
Mayor Domenic Sarno says a partnership with State Police and the Hampden County Sheriff's Department will target the South End's Hollywood section, a distressed neighborhood that has been undergoing redevelopment but continues to be plagued by poverty, street crime and gang violence.
"People want in the neighborhoods, whether it's downtown or any of our 17 neighborhoods across the city of Springfield, quality of life. And number one, they want to be able to feel safe," Sarno says.
Police Commissioner William Fitchett says C3 policing has been used in the city's North End for the past three years. He says a combination of aggressive arrests and community relations, including job training and healthcare, has begun to show positive results.
"You can make a significant change if you concentrate your effort in a small area, then hope that it blossoms out into the rest of the community. And generally, it does."
Officials say Springfield is one of only 14 cities nationwide awarded the Edwin Byrne Memorial Grant – named after a New York City police officer killed on duty.

Virgin Australia Unveils First Phase Of Inflight Entertainment Plans15/12/2011
Virgin Australia group of airlines is collaborating with industry leader, Lufthansa Systems, to develop a state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system using Wi-Fi technology delivered to personal, hand-held devices on its aircraft.
Group Executive Product and Guest Services, Martin Daley, said the two companies had signed a letter of intent to produce and install the initial systems, known as BoardConnect, from mid-2012.
"This system, considered to be at the leading edge of inflight entertainment technology, provides guests with a wide range of products including video and audio streaming delivered on demand to personal entertainment devices or Wi-Fi enabled laptops.
"Our new entertainment system will provide guests with more options than ever before to tailor their inflight entertainment experience to their personal tastes along with the freedom to choose how and when they access inflight entertainment."
"This latest product release, combined with our new Business Class and Economy Class cabin environment, further enhances the inflight experience," he said.
Mr. Daley said the growing number of travellers carrying their own devices meant this new inflight entertainment system would allow Virgin Australia to remain at the forefront of technology.
Features will include:
- Ability to control and view content from personal entertainment devices (PEDs) and WiFi enabled laptops;
- Extensive range of movies, television and audio content;
- On demand controls to start, stop, rewind, fast forward and pause content;
- Selection of games for adults and children including arcade style games in future releases; and
- Service and Product information including destination / airport guides, travel offers and Velocity information in future releases.

Slip the bag on your hand and rub shortening on the inside of the pan. Repeat with more shortening until every nook and cranny is greased. Give the inside of the pan a good sprinkling with flour, shake excess from pan, and your baked cake will slip right out!

Sun Modular Data Center (Project Blackbox) visits the Pentagon and the US DoD (with photos)
By user12611852 on Apr 03, 2008
The Sun Modular Data Center (aka Project Blackbox) is on a nationwide tour. It spent part of last week in the Washington D. C area. It had stops in northwest DC, two days at the Pentagon and Sun's Annapolis Junction office (near Ft. Meade and the National Security Agency). This week it's traveling to Ft. Monmouth.
Check out the tour schedule to see if it's coming to a world-wide location near you. It also won an award at the Federal Office System Exhibition for Best in show (category: Other, I guess there was no specific category for large transportable data centers ;>)
They don't like you taking pictures of the Pentagon. Because I respect guards with large caliber weapons, these photos are taken with my back to the Pentagon south wall. The truck (with its operational data center, chiller and generator) were parked in the south parking lot within a couple hundred feet of the building. We had quite a few visitors over two days including a 3-star general. At least once we saw the SecDef drive by, and I heard on the news that the President was in the building that day being briefed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He didn't stop by to say "Hi," however.
We received some powerful feedback including comments such as, "I could have used about 30 of these at the beginning of the war and save a lot of money."
A small contingent of the Sun Federal Sales and Marketing team was there to provide tours and information (as well as collect any orders!) To date, Sun has shipped a number of Modular Data Centers including two to the Stanford Linear Accelerator and one near Moscow.
If you are interested in deploying data center capacity quickly, at a low cost and in an energy efficient manner, contact us at 703-204-4100. It's only 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and can accommodate 240 rack units of your favorite Sun or other vendor's equipment. It can be located nearly anywhere.
The spiky things in the background are the recently dedicated US Air Force memorial.

Grab your kilt and get ready for some bagpipes. The 50th annual Colorado Scottish Festival is just around the corner.
Slated for Aug. 10-11 in Highland Heritage Park in Highlands Ranch, this year's festivities will feature Highlands Games, haggis tasting, drum, dance and Bonny Knees competitions, games for the kids, live music, and of course, Nessie.
Expecting to draw between 10,000 and 12,000 people over the two-day celebration, festival director John Thornton said each year the Celtic party gets a "wee bit better."
"It's pretty darn exciting," he said. "This thing started as a family picnic with just a handful of people in a park up near Conifer, cooking some hot dogs and drinking some beer. It's morphed into a festival that attracts people from all over the world."
The festival outgrew its Conifer roots by the early 1980s, and made the move to the Colorado School of Mines' athletic complex. It wasn't long, Thornton said, before it outgrew the school grounds and in 1990, about the time he started running the show, the event moved to Highlands Ranch, where it's stayed put ever since.
"It's really a family event," Thornton said. "Unlike a lot of festivals that center around a lot of beer drinking and things like that, we try to cater to all ages. After all, the kids of today are the Scottish enthusiasts of tomorrow."
For those looking to cool off on a hot summer day with an adult beverage, no fretting is allowed, the dog-friendly festival will have adult beverages available on site. Celtic rock group Angus Mohr will also perform from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 10.
Promising more events than ever before packed into two days, Thornton said the festival is a great opportunity to learn more about one's own Celtic heritage, regardless of whether it is Scottish, Irish or British.
"People can come on down, have a taste of the ol' Scottish soul food, haggis, and if you are an adult you can have a wee bit of whiskey to wash it down with," he said.
For more information on the festival, including a complete schedule of events, visit www.scottishgames.org or call the festival hotline at 303-238-6524. The festival is from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 10 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 11 at 9651 S. Quebec Street in Highlands Ranch.
Single-day tickets, available on the site, range from $9 to $18 with multiple options available for seniors, kids, and adults who wish to spend an entire day on the grounds or just attend the Saturday concert. Children 6 and under receive free admission.
Volunteers are still being sought for the festival, and Thornton said for four hours of service, volunteers get in for free for the remainder of the day. If interested in volunteering, please call Thornton at 303-523-6469.

The Trail Grappler® MT blends some of the off-road performance of the Mud Grappler® with the on-road comfort of the Terra Grappler® to create a tire that is both aggressive and quiet.
The 3-ply sidewall with a high turn-up construction acts as an extra layer of reinforcement to increase puncture resistance. Advanced sound analysis equipment was used to systematically reduce the noises normally heard when driving on off-road tires. Nitto´s proprietary, automated manufacturing system produces extraordinarily uniform tires. This creates a smooth ride on paved roads. The balanced void ratio efficiently removes mud and dirt from the tread to provide continuous off-road traction.
These nitto M/T are great tires no question there and they look good too. But the ride is a little rougher then and All Terrain tire and diffinately more noise. The one down side is your fuel mileage is going to drop before I switched to the Nitto M/T I was getting 21 mpg around town in my Tacoma and after switching to the Nitto it dropped to 16 mpg. So if you don't plan on doing alot of mudding you might want to stick with and all terrain tire.

This is my second set. First set I rotated every oil change and monitored the pressures and was able to squeak 40K out of them. This set I haven't been as reliable on the rotation but check pressures every week. I'm at 22K and ready to buy another set of tires this week. I'm going to jump ship to another tire that seems to be getting good reviews and isn't as aggressive as these. I've always gone for the MT style because I duck, deer and elk hunt and wanted the aggressive tire for the off road situations. These have never let me down but going to a more mid range between MT and AT tire seems like a good idea since 90% of my driving is on road. One thing I always hated about these tires is how squirrelly they are when they are new. Driving on them the first 5K seems like they are way over inflated and the ass end of the truck is loosely goosey! Good in snow and pretty good in rain. Wish they came with a mileage warranty. My truck is a lifted 1 ton crew cab long bed Cummins. I rarely haul heavy loads but do pull a trailer from time to time. Mostly mountain roads out west for my daily drive.

I am on my second set of Nitto Trail Grapplers(Which I bought in Feburay 2016 and has less than 5,000.miles). I was pulling into my driveway which is lined with rocks about 12" x 12" in size. I clipped one and immediately my tire air pressure warning begin to flash. I got out and i saw a small tear in my sidewall. I couldn't believe it. I was going less than 5 mph and this amount of damage was done by clipping a rock. Now i know of a bunch of people buy these for off-roading and rock climbing. I got them for traction in the snow and seasonal off road for hunting. I am just glad it happened at a slow speed. Here is the response from Nitto: Unfortunately, Nitto tires do not have any warranty coverage for road hazards. Also, for reference if your tire strikes a road hazard at any speed, internal tire damage could result, which may lead to sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. Tire failure may even occur miles after the initial impact. Impact damage from such hazards may not be visible on the outside of the tire and it may be necessary to have the tire removed from the wheel for a complete inspection. Sincerely, Nitto Technical Department
Great customer service. If i make a product and sell it to consumers with a no warranty label, I would still back up my product in some cases. I know that I was a big proponent of Nitto tire but after this experience , I will never purchase another product from Nitto. Also will I never recommend Nitto products. Please pass along my experience to others on social media as well as in person. For those out there that still have a set on thier vehicles, watch out for rocks.

PYGGEL - 0.08-alpha4c
RB[0] (roebros)
PYGGEL (PYthon Graphical Game Engine and Libraries) is a 3d game development engine, written using Pygame/PyOpenGL.
PYGGEL has a large amount of features, geared towards making 3d game development as simple and quick as possible.
Features include:
FPS and third-person cameras,
2d and 3d (billboarded) image loading and rendering,
OBJ mesh loading,
Collision detection objects (Vector, Sphere, AABox),
Simple Geometry rendering objects,
Particle effects,
VertexArray and other speed optimizers,
and many more.
The engine is very young and alpha, but it is already possible to make simple games in it.
Included in this release is the game "Robocalypto", developed primarily by pymike, with help from me.
It is a FPS that is being developed lock-step with PYGGEL itself, as our main stress, feature and API tester.
To run, simply go into the Robocalypto directory in the pyggel install directory, and run "run_game.py" - it will automatically find pyggel one directory up...
Currently there is no documentation, as we are focusing on getting the engine to version 0.1 as soon as possible.
You can grab the source from the homepage, to keep up to date between releases as well.
Currently, I am currently the only core developer of PYGGEL itself, so, if anyone is interested in helping out with the project, please just leave a comment, or send an email to (roebros AT gmail DOT com).
You can take a look at the TODO page for the project here:
And a GoogleGroups discussion group here:
So if you are interested, just come on over :)
Fix for view.set_debug
Addition of control for near, far and angle of view for 3d
Fix for mesh loading when no material is present or if groups are used instead of objects
Made PIL an optional dependency (needed for animated gif support)
Added anisotropic filtering (when available) for textures
Bugfixes for Robocalypto to work correctly
Added hide_faces and/or show_inside constructor arguments for geometry
objects Fixed geometry alignment of quads and planes
Completely rewrote Sphere creation
Optimizations of some slower functions

Perhaps renaming the resources but maintaining the mechanics are not the way to go about this. I think developers need to expand on other avenues for resource economy in strategy games. This is the million dollar question for RTS's really. How do you innovate the resource economy aspect of your game while maintaining the fun, depth, and presentation of it all?
I have a million and 1 ideas like everyone else, but I don't have the energy right now to type it all out lol.
Many would like to see deeper crafting and harvesting in mmo's. In my experiance Vanugard is the only one, very deep !.....Yet the game is on it's last leg, with going F2P.
Future ?....Well, will have to see. With the crap developers are puting out, I'm not expecting much more than shallow mmo's much less a good crafting and harvesting sub game.....Blizzard and SOE are about our best bet to put out anything you would be looking for.
Blizzard = more fun type ( if you would call it that )
SOE = Deep ( I would count on them more )
What about Populous? It had a fairly different style of play that was focused more on teraforming the land rather than harvesting resources.
( I don't know much about the modern RTS games out there ... although I love watching simulations unfold, I find I just don't have the efficiency of clicking to play those sorts of games at anything beyond laid-back beginner levels )

In most RTS games I know these are just your base resource and from there on you refine it into other resources or items.
I love the visual presentation of The Settlers 7 Paths to a Kingdom, I liked Settlers Heritage of Kings more gameplay wise due to more freedom S7 felt rather linear compared to S6.

Kyleran has a point. While devs could give other names to things, it doesn't do much other than make it less intuitive. The new player knows the value and order of copper, iron, and steel; by changing that to Gormium, Detium and Romulandium the 'creativity' is offset by the obfuscation and extended learning curve.
Why should there be a canonical value and order of the metals? Why not just have different materials used for different things. Even today, copper has plenty of uses where iron and steel would be wildly inappropriate.
Oh wait, we're talking about an RTS, where the "real-time" component overwhelms the "strategy" component, leaving the game mostly about how well you can keep track of what is going on and click really fast without much in the way of strategy? That explains it.
