JACKSON – The House leadership's efforts to advance an omnibus education bill that includes charter schools was defeated Tuesday.
Nearly all of the chamber's Democrats were joined by nine Republicans to garner 60 votes against House Education Chair John Moore's motion to send the bill to conference where House and Senate leaders would try to hammer out a final agreement.
Three Democrats and 55 Republicans voted in favor of Moore's motion. House Speaker Philip Gunn said the vote did not change the dynamics since the leadership has until a Thursday deadline to try again to send the bill to conference or to pass it and send it to Gov. Phil Bryant for his signature.
Gunn said he would favor sending it to the governor, but conceded it is unlikely the leadership can garner the votes for that effort. Rep. Nick Bain, D-Corinth, said the legislation was blocked because of the charter school section.
"Nobody sees anything in this legislation but charter schools," Bain said, pointing out all of the proposals in the bill, including charter schools, already are in conference in other bills.
The legislation includes eventually allowing charter schools to be located in C, D and F districts without the approval of the local school boards. Charter schools receive public funding but do not have to follow many of the guidelines and governance of traditional public schools.
The legislation also would require students to read on grade level to advance past the third grade and would require students going into the schools of education to score 21 on the ACT and meet certain academic standards.
The vote demonstrated the difficulty leadership will have passing a charter school proposal as strong as much of the Legislature's Republican leadership wants.
Rep. Donnie Bell, R-Fulton, who voted not to send the bill to conference, said he had concerns about not giving C districts veto authority and with the 21 ACT requirement for students going into teaching.
The leadership did send to conference two other education bills Tuesday. They would:
• Require the Mississippi Adequate Education Program funding formula for local school districts to be recalculated every year instead of every four years.
• Put into law the definition of how long a student must stay at school each day to be considered in attendance, thus, eligible to be counted by the district for state Adequate Education funds.

WVU Parkersburg will be hosting a National Career Pathways Network (NCPN) Workshop on two important topics: Adult Career Pathways and Reinvigorating Business and Industry Advisory Committees in a Career Pathways System. The workshop presenter is Dr. Debbie Mills, Director of the National Career Pathways Network and Vice President of Partnerships of CORD.
Date: Thursday, April 17, 2014
Time: 9 am – 3 pm
Cost: $30 for MOVTP Consortium members, $50 for non-members
Registration: Please scroll down and complete the registration form on this page.
Payment will be accepted at the workshop site Thursday, April 17.
Workshop Information
- Introduction to Adult Career Pathways (ACP): This one-day workshop is designed to help community college administrators, faculty, and staff find solutions to problems that prevent many adults from obtaining the education that today's workplace demands. The workshop challenges a broad spectrum of community college personnel to work together in providing leadership for ACP systems. Many practical strategies and examples are shared. The session includes background information and statistics, active discussion, and group work in which participants begin to develop their own ACP plans.
- Reinvigorating Business/Industry Advisory Committees in a Career Pathways System: This workshop focuses on the need for effective partnerships between educational institutions and employers. The workplace knowledge and resources provided by committee members helps to ensure that career pathways programs reflect the needs and current conditions of the workplace and that program graduates are capable of performing in the occupations for which they have trained. This workshop prepares faculty members and administrators to select, work with, and make use of advisory committees in career pathways systems. Topics include: talking to the customer; the role of advisory committees; advisory committees and Perkins IV; joint secondary and postsecondary advisory committees; governance, policy, and structure; advisory council functions; planning a program of work; communication and meetings; beyond the meeting; using communication technologies; and sustainability and special considerations.

Former Shoe Salesman Arrested for Trying to Cut Off Ex-Girlfriend's Toe Two Months After Allegedly Biting Off Part of Same Ex-Girlfriend's Toe
That headline says it all, really. But in case you want to know more: In early February, Daniel Anaya, a former shoe salesman in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly bit part of his ex-girlfriend's toe to the bone. That wasn't the first time he'd bitten her toe, according to the ex; in November of 2012, she broke up with him after he bit her other big toe. The incident resulted the aforementioned charges (which were later dismissed after a witness failed to appear in court) and a restraining order from the ex-girlfriend against Anaya.
The restraining order and a move to Albuquerque weren't enough to deter Anaya, though. He reportedly showed up at his ex's new home, screaming, and forced his way inside, where he attacked her big toe again, first biting it and then attempting to sever it with a cigar cutter.
After a struggle, Anaya, according to the warrant, straddled his ex-girlfriend, removed her shoe and sock and "put her toe in his mouth." The warrant states he began biting her right big toe "then produced what [his ex-girlfriend] described as a silver circular or oval metal object that had a blade in the center."
The ex-girlfriend did fight back, however, eventually causing Anaya to flee.
She apparently was able to obtain a fork and began stabbing Anaya repeatedly in the back of his neck and his upper back with it.
"But she had no effect on Daniel," the warrant states. She dropped the fork and proceeded to "scratch or gouge his eyes."
Those wounds (which you can see in the mug shot above) were bad enough for Anaya to seek medical treatment at a hospital once he returned to Santa Fe, where he was arrested. He faces charges of kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated stalking and assault.
"It's a bizarre case," said Santa Fe police spokeswoman Celina Westervelt.

In my book I state emphatically that it is the environment that onsets mental distress and symptoms of mental illness, but it is totally unknown if there is a true genetic component as well. I believe firmly based on my research on trauma's affects on the brain and on children holistically and developmentally, that mental illness is a result of poor parent-child attachment, traumatic and distressing environments (home, school, community) and a product of our culture. I believe that the toxic foods people eat in industrialized cultures (refined sugar, gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, etc.) produced in a toxic, non-organic manner, plus the toxins in products and in our natural environment contribute to mental health symptoms. I do believe and stated in my book that people's PATTERNS of RESPONDING to chronic distress may be genetic. In our culture it is a financial goldmine for the psychiatry field and BigPharma to convince the public that they simply have a genetic disability and just need to pop a pill or three in order to function. That is a much more financially viable and socially acceptable solution than professionals coming to the realization that the culture as a whole is ill, that public school, day care, preschool, mainstream foods, lack of nature, mainstream parenting patterns and the way our society is constructed is causing mental illness in drastic, epidemic amounts of people. Remember, anyone who pushes the "genetic disorder and drug" theory of mental illness has money at stake. People like Dr. Peter Breggen and others who dispute this have everything to lose, yet speak the truth in spite of the risks.

NOT like standing on a cloud...
"Despite the name of the company indicating otherwise, these shoes do not feel remotely like you are standing on a cloud. I'm not sure why there were reviews on this shoe claiming it was comfortable. I was looking for a companion pair to my amazing Dr. Scholl's flats, so maybe I'm spoiled by their cushiony support, but this shoe had ZERO arch support or cushioning. Less cushioning than a cheap dollar store flip flop. It's a shame, because the look of the shoe itself is really cute."

Skip to comments.D'Souza vs. Ayers at Dartmouth (7:30 PM, Thu 1/30, tonight!)
Posted on 01/30/2014 3:50:18 PM PST by Seizethecarp
(Excerpt) Read more at live.dineshdsouza.com ...
Why had I never heard about this?!
Live thread, anyone?
Thanks for alerting!
D'Souza is out on $500,000 bail. I bet his lawyer told him not to do this public appearance!
I picked this event up from a BirtherReport article featuring audio of Howie Carr in Boston interviewing D'Souza, which is interesting.
"Dinesh D'Souza: Scandalous That Media
Did Not Investigate Obama Background"
Ping to a debate tonight at Dartmouth between Bill Ayers and Dinesh D'Souza!
I heard about it on Facebook.
I hope he's wearing body armor.
January 30, 2014
Dear Friends,
Tonight, LIVE from Dartmouth: 7:30 PM ET. I am debating Weather Underground founder Bill Ayers. You can watch the livestream free by clicking here.
The topic of the debate is "What's So Great About America?" You can be assured that it will be a debate full of unexpected twists since Ayers's view of American influence in the world is so vastly different from ours.
Tune in tonight and join the conversation during the debate by using #AyersDSouza on Twitter. Our streaming page will pull your Twitter comments and post them for all viewers to see.
Thanks for your support tonight,

How appropriate that Taxman by the Beatles is playing just before this debate starts.
Will it be a pansy debate with lots of rules like not allowed to bring up Ayers is a terr0rist pig who wants to destroy the nation except for his money?
Twist and Shout playing now..hopefully describing ayers behaviour
D'inesh: DON'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING OFFERED TO YOU!
Same here.
I wonder how long it will take until D'Souza gets physically attacked?
Moderator says the debate will be about the "nature" of America. He is a 1983 Dartmouth grad...same year Barry claimed to graduate from Columbia.
Appreciate those who keep up the commentary for those unable to listen
The audience will be asking questions. Ayers is walking out now.
How fitting they have hippie-chit music playing...ugh
Should we expect protests?
Anyone else getting excessive buffering?
How apt.
Ayers says Chicago is one of the greatest thing about America!
Ayers says Lake Michigan is under siege from climate change.
Leading w/ Ayers. (Black tee shirt under sports jacket)
"Not a debate, but a 'dialog;".
His most favorite thing about America: Chicago (surprised?).
"Lake Michigan, the vast endless sea now under siege from climate change"
Now the word associated with Chicago is "Obama." Here we go.
An unrepentant terrorist bomber who hates America debates a guy just glad to be IN America." "
LOL! I saw that.
For once, he's right.
But, he's probably thinking about Bush.
It's too broadband for me. Will have to watch later on YouTube.
Ayers: "Fire from below" is the real power behind progressive reforms and community activists shouldn't wait to see what the president will do.
"The reality there is also power in the neighborhood... and that's the power we have access to." In a democracy, we are the "collective authority."
The back of that tee shirt probably reads "Alinsky forever."
Could someone please get barf bag from the SOTUS the other night?
"Anyone else getting excessive buffering?"
Yes. I'm not sure I can keep watching if it keeps up.
No, I'm not getting excessive buffering...
Debate put on by the Libertarian and Conservative students. Maybe the Libertarian students will keep the door knockers and screamers out.
Ugh. Ayers just called the FBI a, "Criminal enterprise."
Off to a good start with that one!
I remember the Brinks holdup, in Nanuet, NY, back in 1981 something that literally hit close to home. Two cops and a Brinks guard were shot to death, by factions of the Weather Underground at the Nanuet Mall, the fact that no bystanders were injured was a miracle. To this day the cops and FBI agents involved in the case have good reason to believe Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dhorn had some at least indirect involvement in this. My dear mom was planning on going to that mall on that day, it was also a place where my we would all hang out. So yeah, in a small way, this is personal and frankly I find it hard to stomach any of the sh!t spewed by Ayers. Hoping Mr. D'Sousa wipes the floor with this POS.
10 seconds of buffering followed by 2 seconds of audio
Perhaps they were hoping for an infiltrator.
Yes, I can't watch it.
Now he is lauding his wife, Bernardine Dorhn, and some activist named Jane Admans (?) as what is great about America...
Now he is on to how people should be free to re-invent themselves (and their sexual practices) Ayers re-invented Barry's entire life narrative in Dreams!
I am hoping that Sheriff Arpaio's big reveal, supposedly in March, will link Barry to the Brinks robbery! Hey, I can hope.
28 min in and Ayer's is still on? I came in late, was he not first?
Well so far Ayers is not holding anything back...I knew he was a leftist but I have never heard him speak before.....
Was just thinking of the brinks holdup
If I were allowed one question it would be:
"Who was the black dude that helped with the Brinks robbery ?"
Wouldn't expect an answer but bet it would make a few people think a bit !
I'm falling asleep from all the "intellectual" BS Ayers is trying to run out the clock with.
They're doing opening statements. Ayers going first. 18 minutes each.

TUPELO – When a genealogist reaches the end of a paper trail while trying to track his or her ancestry, it is called hitting the wall.
But now that research doesn't need to stop. Dr. Henry Outlaw, retired Delta State University chemistry department chairman and genealogy hobbyist, said that is when DNA can become helpful.
There are many companies that test DNA and store it in databases for people interested in tracing their lineage.
"DNA testing became a tool for use in genealogy in about 2000," Outlaw told the North Mississippi Historical and Genealogical Society on Saturday morning at the Lee County Library. "There are many test types and many competing testing laboratories. The trick is knowing what each test means. If you take the wrong test, you'll get the wrong results."
Outlaw said his goal was to help the society understand the terminology of DNA testing so they could use the testing services in an informed way.
The DNA testing services send a swab the tester will use to scrape cells out of his or her mouth and then mail back. Once the service tests the swab, the company will send back results and store the tester's DNA, with permission.
Of the many companies available, Outlaw said he uses FamilyTreeDNA.com because of its larger database.
The companies can compare a person's DNA with what's in their databases and show relatives as well as distant ancestry.
The most popular test, Outlaw said, is a Y-DNA test that shows male relatives that share a common relative in the tester's paternal line.
The mtDNA test will show the female line.
Outlaw said the Y-DNA test is popular because Y DNA changes very little and with a paternal line it is easier to track surnames.
One thing Outlaw said DNA is great for is going back hundreds or thousands of years to see where in the world ancestors originate. He said this is done through comparing halogroups found in a SNP DNA test.

Belgium 1862 – 1926
Sailing boats and estuary
[Voiliers et estuaire] c. 1887
oil on canvas
canvas 50.0 (h) x 61.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase 1982
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
In this work van Rysselberghe employs the Pointillist technique to luminous effect. The eye is led from the foreground to the mid-ground, and across the expanse of ocean by the jutting landmass, to the horizon where sea and sky mingle. The upper-third of the canvas is dominated by sky—billowing clouds give way to a pale, lemon sunshine that glistens on the water below. In the foreground the ocean reaches right to the very edge of the canvas, emphasised by the deep shadow cast by the jetty. In the distance sailboats become specks on the horizon and a sense of the ocean's enormity is achieved.
Van Rysselberghe worked in many styles throughout his career, and in this work we see the synthesis of several. The inspiration for the composition seems to have come from Seurat, whose seascapes often draw the viewer in with a close-up view of land or a jetty at the side of the canvas, and then give way to an expanse of ocean and sky separated by a thin wedge of land.
Painted in the Pointillist manner which van Rysselberghe adopted after befriending Signac, the delicate, shimmering quality of light in Sailing boats and estuary is also reminiscent of James McNeill Whistler. The use of colour is far more naturalistic than in the work of Signac and other Neo-Impressionists, and reveals a tendency towards Realism. Indeed, describing the art of van Rysselberghe, Denis commented: '[his is] an art of probity and reflection, with neither hesitations nor maladroitness, a realistic art, but with all the seductions of reality'.1
Sailing boats and estuary illustrates an important moment in modern art: that at which artists found the resolve to depict nothingness. Contrary to the tradition of maritime painting, no boat dominates the scene, no action takes place. We are shown the ocean as flat, calm and unending. Here is stillness.

Schopp: Pass rush to judgment
by Mike Schopp
posted Dec 7 2011 11:23AM
My 2-year-old son pointed out to me today that we still have a pumpkin on our porch. Good thing he's around, I can be so lazy. Thanksgiving is over so Halloween is ancient history. Out with the pumpkin!
Of course, the Bills' last victory was longer ago than even that -- October 30 to be exact. I read yesterday how the Bills rank last in the NFL in sacks (17), which isn't amazing at all except for the fact that they had 10 sacks in one game! I wonder if peameal bacon falls within the boundaries of the NFL's substance-abuse program.
The sack stack isn't the only stat I like from the Washington game. London Fletcher, the Redskins middle linebacker and former Bill, had 19 tackles that day (plus an interception). Did you know that 19 tackles is one more than the Bills got this season from Kyle Williams and Shawne Merriman combined (nine each)?
Injuries surely played a role in the demise of the Bills' pass rush, although it's not like smart money was ever spent betting on the brittle Merriman to become the next Jim Marshall.
Aaron Maybin was headed toward footnote-status in this story except for the strange thing that happened on his way to the agate page. Maybin found his career. His six sacks for the Jets are more than a third of the Bills' team total and are the most of any player on the team directly ahead of the Bills in the standings.
The draft pick of Maybin in 2009, 11th overall, has already been penned as one of the worst picks in Bills history. But imagine if Maybin, still only 23, puts up 7-8 sacks for another decade or so. Why couldn't he? If he retires with 70 sacks he's not exactly a bust.
In that instance the Bills will be remembered for giving up on him so soon, not drafting him.
Who's to blame? No doubt the Bills had their reasons for cutting him. In limited opportunity, Maybin did next to nothing to arouse any enthusiasm about his becoming a sack artist.
The problem for me is that the opportunity was so limited.
Cue the chorus. In a dozen worthless years of mediocrity or worse, the Bills have not only won nothing - they've made no particular creative effort to level the playing field with the superior teams. It's almost like the Bills don't realize their inferiority.
For sure the Bills were unimpressed with Maybin's results, but his athletic talent is obvious to anyone. Make it work! Move him around in different formations. Build a scheme that suits him, or at least gives him a chance to succeed. Heck, throw him the ball and see what happens. What had they to lose?
The Bills have made so many stupid moves over the years that my mind is all jumbled of them. I don't so much blame them for signing Terrell Owens, but I do blame them for trotting him out there every week when the season had long been lost. Re-signing Gibran Hamdan whenever a quarterback got hurt? They'd seen him plenty and had to be certain that he wasn't NFL-caliber, so why not just try someone new? And there are dozens more of these.
But if Maybin has a big career, he'll be in a category all his own.
I accept that there is luck in the draft, and that predicting which college players will become good or great pros can be difficult. To a point, I sympathize with the Bills for their poor draft record.
But what can't happen is what happened with Maybin. You simply cannot draft a player 11th overall, severely limit his opportunities to impress and learn and grow, then cut him two years in and let a division rival take a freebie. The Bills have long been much more suited to letting young players play and learn; they've been terrible for what seems like forever. Yet the Jets, as championship-minded as they come, have made room for him.
Maybin was here, and with the right situation ready to become the Bills' best pass rusher since Bruce Smith. Yet it was the Bills themselves, never struggling to top their own incompetence, who let him skip to New York.
So here we are again. No young stud in sight to harass quarterbacks. The idea remains elusive.
Just like the Great Pumpkin.

Skip to comments.HABEMUS PAPAM!!! (Live Thread)
Posted on 03/13/2013 11:12:01 AM PDT by NYer
Having trouble typing .. my hands are shaking. It will take about 45 minutes before we see him. This is so exciting!
"LOVE the Swiss Guard. They even look good in rain gear. LOL!"
Really smashing effect!
Here we go!
They traded it away for a Cardinal to be named later. ;)
Today is the birth day of Pope Innocent XII (1615 - 1700)
Naw, Pope Epstein, in honor of Brian.
I guess it was all my years in marching band that I just love this stuff. All the different uniforms, etc. Really cool.
I'm betting on Pope Piel!
He just missed out last time. Maybe this is his year!
Almost reminds me of the beginning of the Army-Navy game.
Congrats to our Catholic FReepers!
"We dont know who the new pontiff is yet, but I'll bet you anything it won't be Pope Liebowitz."~ Joan Rivers
Dear Lord, guide our course.
Must admit, I prefer watching this on the BBC World Service than any of the US news networks.
No ... each one has unique qualities and gifts. I expect that whoever is chosen is a humble and sincerely prayerful individual. The weight, not only of the Catholic Church, but of the entire world, is on his shoulders. He prays for everyone and must also serve as a Head of State. We'll know shortly. Wow .. what a huge crowed .. 7:40 pm in Rome. The weather is cold and rainy but you would think the sun were shining looking at the joy on their faces. God bless our new pope!
Watching live online.
Special broadcast via Youtube (live streaming)
You know, there was once Pope Hilarius. Hilarious II?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Hilarius
Or Kramer being Kramer.
I hope not, but then I'm not even Catholic. Maybe an American pope could keep the jerk in the White House under control, though.
The bands are in place.
the music has stopped.
The Swiss Guard are brought to attention.
a flourish of horns is heard.
The crowd is singing as one......
Enlighten me please because I want to understand.
Why all the excitement about a new Pope?
Why all the excitement before a name is announced?
Can't wait to go see the Vatican this summer when we go to Europe.
You must be thinking of Peter Ustinov! Yeah, he made a pretty good Nero! Another one was Anthony Andrews; he played him in "AD" on t.v. in mid-80s. He was a little bit too thin, but he was a more sadistic Nero!
I love it when they spell out il Poppa Ohio State band style. Sends chills up my spine !
No going be Paul Ringo LOL!
Just heard that it is the first muzzie pope. Barack Hussein O'Bama from Ireland.
I was fortunate to go with my Mother years ago, it is amazing!
You will love it ~
Much clearer picture than EWTN. Thanks.
Are listening to Limbaugh's show today? A very interesting guy talking about the selection and who he thinks should not be choose.
I am fascinated by what the guy is saying.
LOL! I miss Pope Piel...
2 great callers in a row. did you hear the previous one?
Rush said this, just yesterday:
....I would say the Catholic Church is on its way to irrelevancy if it doesn't start distancing itself from the Democrat Party and the idea that liberalism equals charity. Because liberalism does not equal charity, and that's how the church got sucked into supporting Democrats. Not just the Catholic Church, but all religions got sucked in to supporting the Democrat Party and all these movements, all these social causes, because they began to equate government largesse with charity. And it isn't.
Excellent quality. Thanks!
Nescio tructa sum.
It would certainly be very interesting if the new Pope were Italian, and either named Peter or chose the name Peter.
Not likely, though.
Rush was hoping (earlier) it would be Cardinal Dolan, FWIW.
When I first heard the news of a new Pope, I posted a vanity thread going with the words WHITE SMOKE! Glad you posted this thread. :)
That must have been a special trip for her and you. How cool !!
I can only imagine the centuries of tradition oooozing from every brick and mortar there.
ping to 66
Hope the new pope is as great as John Paul II...
yes...liberalism is NOT charity...its enslavement....
The fellow from Texas - eeehhhhaaaa!!!
The guy was great. I sure hope he calls back on a regular basis.
I am glad Shemp Smith is there, reporting.
This man is 266th in an unbroken line of successors to St. Peter. Essentially, he is the "vicar of Christ" on earth. He is a spiritual father for all of us. His first title is Servant of the servants of God.
The word pope actually means "papa". The excitement is with everyone wondering which of the 115 cardinals was elected. A papal election is not like a secular one. It is just the reverse; none of the cardinals wants to take on this tremendous responsibility. The one elected is asked: "Do you accept"? Once he does, he gives up the service he gave in his previous post and now takes a new name.
Better than CSPAN, and still no constant chatter. Thanks.
Limbaugh is correct.
Who's organizing this thing, Live Nation? Delays like at their rock concerts!
He just said he probably should not have weighed in. ;-)

January 29, 2014
SPRINGFIELD – Exactly five years after taking office during an unprecedented triple crisis of government corruption, economic collapse and financial instability, Governor Pat Quinn today delivered his 2014 State of the State, laying out a five-year blueprint for jobs and economic growth in Illinois. The Governor's blueprint calls for creating more jobs, making early childhood education a top priority and building an economy that works for everyone -with specific measures to get the job done.
"We inherited a perfect storm and repairing the damage that had been done over decades would not happen overnight," Governor Quinn said. "Over the past five years, we have rebuilt one hard step at a time and our economic recovery is strengthening every day. We've been getting the job done and Illinois is making a comeback."
"By following the steps I have outlined today– creating more jobs, investing in our children from birth to five and helping more workers join the middle class - we can create a stronger economy than ever before and reform Illinois for the next generation," the Governor said.
Under Governor Quinn's leadership, Illinois enacted a strong new ethics code, campaign finance reform, and a new constitutional amendment to allow voters to recall a corrupt governor. When the Governor took office, Illinois had not properly invested in our infrastructure in 10 years. Within 10 weeks, the Governor and legislature partnered to enact the largest infrastructure program in Illinois history. In addition, Illinois achieved marriage equality and historic budget reforms, including cutting spending by more than one billion dollars, overhauling Medicaid and accomplishing necessary and comprehensive pension reform that Moody's said "may be the largest reform package implemented" by any state in the nation.
The Governor's blueprint builds on the foundation laid over the last five years by focusing on jobs, education and fairness.
At the height of the recession, unemployment was at 11.3 percent and is now at its lowest point in almost five years, but there's more work to do, including:
In the last five years, we've made major progress in education reform. Parents are empowered with school report cards, teacher evaluations have strong benchmarks and performance is a priority over tenure. But there's more work to do. The Governor's five-year blueprint for education starts where it matters most: in early childhood.
Today the Governor laid out an innovative Birth to Five Initiative that focuses on three keys to a healthy child:
A key component of the Governor's five-year blueprint is to build the middle class, strengthening the economy and ensuring all Illinois residents have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential.
Today the Governor laid out a series of proposals that focus on making our economy work for working families. These include:

For those of you that have never had it, chirashi sushi i a bowl of vinegared sushi rice topped with a bunch of colorful stuff. At most sushi restaurants this means covering the rice with slices of various raw fish, but that's not always how it's made.
Growing up my mom used to make a vegetarian version with simmered shitake mushrooms, carrots, egg, sugar peas and benishoga (red ginger) for any potluck or party we'd go to. It makes for a great party dish because it's something you eat at room temperature and the ticker-tape-confetti of toppings makes it look very festive.
My rendition is a bit more extravagant, capturing the essence of the sea. The ingredients aren't cheap, but it's still cheaper than going to a local sushi restaurant and it isn't nearly as hard to prepare as it looks. I made this in about an hour, but if you make some of the stuff ahead of time it can be assembled in even less time.
If you're squeamish about uni (or any of the other ingredients) you could obviously sub them out, but steamed uni is not nearly as off-putting as the raw kind they have at sushi restaurants. Cooking it gives it more structure making it more cheese like in texture (though not flavour) while retaining its sweet creaminess.
For shitake
For uni
For tamago
For sushi rice
Other toppings
- making the shitake
- Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan (including the 2 Tbs of reserved soaking liquid). If you're using fresh shitake mushrooms, just replace the soaking liquid with water. Boil until the mushrooms have absorbed most of the liquid and are a nice brown color about 5-10 minutes. Cool then squeeze out the excess liquid. You can make this up to a couple days in advance
- making the uni
- Add some water to a pot and insert a steamer rack, cover and boil. Lay the uni in a shallow bowl that will fit in your steamer then cover with mirin and a few pinches of salt. Once the steamer is hot, put the bowl in the steamer, cover and return to a boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat (without opening the lid) and allow it to continue steaming for 4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the steamer, cover and allow to cool. You can make this up to a day in advance
- making the tamago
- Beat all the ingredients for the tamago together until well combined. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat then use a paper towel to apply a thin layer of oil. Add the egg and using chopsticks, scramble. When the egg has mostly solidified, start scrambling vigorously to break up the curds. You want to cook this a little longer than you normally would for soft scrambled eggs, but you don't want them to be tough or chewy. Transfer to a bowl, cover and allow to cool. You can make these up to a day in advance.
- for the rice
- Cook the rice in a rice cooker using a little less water than you normally would. You don't want the rice to be tough, but it should be on the firm side as you will be adding more liquid to it after it is cooked.
- While the rice is cooking put the vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl and microwave for a minute and stir. If the sugar and salt isn't completely dissolved keep microwaving until it is.
- For the next step you may want to get a helper. You're going to be mixing the vinegar solution with the rice while fanning it to cool it off quickly. Unless you have an electric fan handy, I'd suggest having one person fan while the other one stirs.
- When the rice is done, dump it into a large flat bottomed bowl and spread it out. The serving platter I used was a bad choice, so if you don't have the traditional wooden sushi oke, trying using a large roasting pan or glass pyrex. The idea is that you want to maximize the surface area of rice so it cools quickly.
- Pour most of the vinegar mixture over the rice (you don't want to pour so much on that the rice gets mushy, but it should be wet and glistening). Start fanning and use a large flat spatula or rice spoon to gently stir the rice using circular spreading motions. You don't want to mash, cut, or otherwise break apart the grains of rice, but you also want to make sure the vinegar is evenly distributed while preventing the rice from sticking together too much. Keep stirring and fanning until the rice is at room temperature, the grains of rice should be intact and each grain should glisten.
- Once the rice is ready, put it in a serving platter and top with sesame seeds. Scatter a few tablespoons of tobiko, then sprinkle on the shitake mushrooms and some of the shiso. Crumble the tamago and uni on top. Finish with a few tablespoons of ikura and crab (optional) then top with the remaining shiso.
- You'll want to serve this as soon as possible. If you have leftovers, put them in the fridge and when you want to eat it, let it come to room temperature before eating. You won't want to eat it cold as the rice will be hard and you certainly don't want to heat it in a microwave.
If you're confused, here's a video that might help.

Boy, 17, charged with indecently touching 6-year-old girl
Sussex - After receiving court documents from a Sussex Sun reporter, Hamilton School District officials began working with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, to supervise and restrict a high school senior who had been charged with four felonies in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a child.
The Sun, like Germantown-Menomonee Falls NOW, is owned by Journal Communications.
The investigations were spurred when the alleged victim's mother - who lives in Washington County - contacted the Sun last week, saying "I want all those kids at that elementary school, on his street and at the high school to be safe."
Daniel Koepke, 17, faces four felony charges after allegedly sexually assaulting a 6-year-old relative over the summer. When they were contacted Nov. 5, district officials said they were not aware of the charges against Koepke or his conditional bond.
He was charged in Washington County Circuit Court on July 17. Charges include first-degree child sexual assault, exposing genitals or pubic area, causing a child to view/listen to sexual activity and incest.
The conditions of his release are clear. Koepke is not to have unsupervised contact with anyone younger than 16 (except his younger brother). However, Koepke lives on Majestic Heights Trail, right around the corner from Woodside Elementary School, and continued to attend Hamilton High School up until late last week - after school officials and area police were made aware of Koepke's charges and conditional release.
Hamilton officials more recently said that Koepke is no longer attending school in the district through a "cooperative agreement" reached with Koepke's family on Nov. 8. He has not been expelled or sus pended, according to the district.
Communication issues
Because the charges were filed under the jurisdiction of Washington County, neither the School District nor the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department knew about the case when it happened almost four months ago. Washington County District Attorney Mark Bensen said that he "had no reason to dispute that they were not made aware of the situation prior to Monday (Nov. 5)."
"It is a legitimate concern," said Lt. Torin Misko, director of police services for the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, who works at the Sussex substation and was also not familiar with the case before Nov. 5.
It still isn't clear how the lapse occurred.
Bensen said law-enforcement officers are "sometimes aware of the case and sometimes they're not" but he's "not sure" how they are made aware.
"It's their job," Bensen said.
Since seeing the official charges and requesting details about the bond's conditional release details, the school worked with Waukesha County officials to develop a course of action and "immediately put restrictions and individual supervision in place," according to Hamilton School Public Information Coordinator Denise Dorn Lindberg. Lindberg also said the School District is in constant communication with Waukesha County through their deputy liaison, regardless.
Three notices have been sent out to Hamilton students' parents: one from the School District for elementary schools, one from the School District to families with students at the high school and one from the Waukesha County Sheriff for the elementary schools. The fliers were sent to keep communication open between the district, the students' parents and law enforcement. Lindberg added that all Hamilton schools have secure and monitored entrances/exits. Playground supervisors and staff members have been directed to be "extra vigilant," Lindberg said.
"The bottom line is that we all have the same goal. The schools, the parents, the police - we all want to keep our children safe," she said.
The Waukesha County Sheriff's Department has also arranged for more patrol in those areas. If parents or members of the community have any questions or concerns, they are asked to contact the Sheriff's Department at (262) 548-7125.
"The Waukesha County Sheriff's Department is doing everything possible to keep our community safe," Misko said. More recently, he has also had conversations with Washington County District Attorney's Office regarding case updates and cross-county communication.
Bensen was not available for additional comments before press time.
Criminal charges
Koepke is being charged as an adult. If convicted of the four felonies, he could face more than 100 years in prison and fines up to $135,000.
According to the criminal complaint, Koepke was baby-sitting the victim and her siblings July 12 when he asked the young girl to undress and watch while he pulled down his pants and touched the child inappropriately. He then fondled himself, according to the complaint. Koepke allegedly told the victim not to tell her mother or she would be sent to the "naughty corner."
The complaint said that the child told her mom what happened because she "knew it was the right thing to tell" and "even if someone tells you to keep a secret, (my mommy) told me if they did something bad I need to tell." Her mother immediately told her family members and contacted the police.
The complaint says Koepke's story changed several times when questioned by police, and that he admitted to being untruthful and minimizing his actions. The complaint added that he stated that he knew what he did was wrong but he was "sexually aroused and was unable to control himself."
Koepke was released on a conditional bond, which stated that he is to have no contact with the victim or the victim's family, he's to stay at his main residence, that he is not to travel outside of the state (except for a planned trip with his family), and he is not to have any unsupervised contact with anyone younger than 16 except his younger brother.
Koepke's arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 15 in Washington County Circuit Court.

i just wanted to discuss what we each think about tobirama since we haven't gotten to the "meat" of who exactly he is/was. without the revelations we have a nice period to guess as well as contribute inductively to plausibilities.
tobirama certainly acts like a hot-head and usually gets that way when recalling memories of madara and other uchiha ordeals.
he seems to struggle with a nature / personality duality. i find that refreshing given that it's more complex than the usual "morally grey" character with a clear leaning. in this did he influence both sarutobi and danzo in distinctly different paths yet while he molded them so differently he was totally genuine in each attitude and ninja way.
he is an approximate see-saw of greater good and lesser evil types of choices and obviously some were to be tough calls, such as policy and relations with uchiha.
i would dare say that tobirama is more integral to madara and hashirama,s rivalry and battles.
but look at how he becomes consumed and 4th raikage level berserk! he is definately afraid of madara but it must have more to it. to have gone to the extent he did as hokage to manage the uchiha's then he must be partially "diseased" with a minor case of naruto universe's version of hatred and darkness while a will of fire burned inside. with that, there must have been a chain reaction of injustice that occurred between the 4 top brothers. whether it began with izuna's death or something else, tobirama almost certainly got his share of retaliated grief and inflicted pain. i think tobirama lost someone he loved before the hashirama + madara fight settled almost once and for all the their close quarter cycle of hatred.
izuna aside, im almost certain we will learn women were involved. who lived whom and when + who killed her and why. there were maybe two scandals, uchiha and senju fighting over mito's heart. another, tobirama took an uchiha wife and a romeo and Juliet type tragedy occured, explaining tobirama's understanding and bitterness
towards the uchiha way /curse of love.
to crazy this up, obiti could even be tobirama's grandson! when you begin to wonder about orochimaru's informal indictment of tobirama's policies then you can see how obito ultimately became a product of those policies by the indirect factors and conditions of the generation before him. it's poetic "infinite tsukiyomi" justice. also, both are space-time jutsu users. as an inherited trait, obitos sharingan may have been influenced by that ability as he awoke his first tomoe and later his mangekyo. spacetime jutsu ingredients genetically passed to obito and seeping into the "despair" chakra and heavily influencing the optic nerve. and, given the example of tobi= obito then why not throw good taste out the window and assume this name relation trick applies here! clear beef between the ramas and madara, madara would secretly keep tabs on tobirama's family and perhaps use them for his schemes ( shaped obito and nobody noticed, ala pein's false memories.

Comments: Excellent on a swinging head jig. Very potent scent, great action & smallmouth crush them. They are on the fragile side.
From: Travis: Eagle River, WI 2/28/16
Comments: definitely one of the best swimbaits there is period dropshot the tiny ones swim jig spinner/chaterbait trailer or soft plastic jerk bait this bait is deadly
From: Dave: Wilmington, IL 11/17/15
Comments: One of the best soft swimbait ever. The ultra soft tail, ribbed body, gives the lure the action and vibrations that bass simply can't resist. Outperforms many of the swimbait imhave in my tackle box. Blue gill for clear water and yellow back for muddy are killers.
From: Eros: Chicago, IL 9/17/15
Comments: After fishing numerous swim baits this year I was eager to try the Molix RA Shad. The bottom line is, there are better paddle tails out there. The Molix is un-scented, tough, color selection stinks and the body tapers to a tiny little tail. Bottom line: save your money and fish Keitech.
From: Martin: Elko, Nevada 9/8/15
Comments: this bait is incredible, slays when night fishing with all the vibration coming from the tail. I was out with 3 buddies and completely out fished them with this bait and by the end of the night they were begging to use. This bait is incredible, get it and you won't regret it

No Better Time for a First Entry Than the Last Day…
I started in November as the show's first-ever production intern. My time here has been brief but wonderful. You all should know that the people who create this show are every bit as bright, funny, insightful, inquisitive, and warm as you hope they are.
Two things brought me here: First, I am an unabashed super-fan of the program. Second, I am a student in my last year at Luther Seminary. My program there asks that I do an internship after two years of study, and I heard through a friend that SOF had one available — quelle chance! (Maybe three things brought me here, if you count dumb luck!)
I'm working on a Master's in Old Testament — not my intended course of study upon starting seminary, but it absolutely captured my imagination. And Krista's conversations with Elie Wiesel and Sharon Brous are among the things that have kept me energized, searching, and grounded during the past few years. I think we who feel at home in a religious tradition can make a bad habit of treating an insight from another as a threat instead of good theological medicine.
My time has been filled with both typical "intern" tasks and experiences that made me want to pinch myself. Sure, I did mail runs and my alphabetizing skills are now second-to-none, but I also got to do much of the initial research into our guests and those we're considering treating on the program (most recently, this meant that I got paid to think about Abraham Joshua Heschel — be still, my heart!), sit in on interviews and see, first hand, the dedication and talent that make this show what it is.
During my few months here, I saw three new shows produced from start to finish; Janna Levin, Robert Millet and this week's program with Ed Husain. Levin will hold a special place in my heart because she was the first interview I sat in on. Her energy is infectious — and everyone was electric after talking to her. She's especially exciting for me because she is a young professor — a brilliant scholar who still manages to be cool and fun. If/when I get my Ph.D., I hope to still be as in love with my subject matter as she is and to engage others as profoundly as she does.
I'm headed back to school for a few more months to rack up as many language classes as I can before starting the grueling process of applying for Ph.D. programs in Hebrew Bible. So much to do: finish my Master's thesis, learn another ancient language (Akkadian), another modern language (German), take the GRE… not to mention getting in to a program (fingers crossed!) and likely moving across the country.
So while finishing up here is bittersweet, I'm excited to go back to school and I'm looking forward to being a listener again — anticipating each week's program and the spiritual nourishment it brings.

The way I was taught my language.
Learning Classical Greek in my times was a process starting in 7th grade.
By that time a lot of preparatory work was already done in Biblical Greek.
Being regularly in church, and loving to be there as a kid, I was accustomed to hear during vespers and matins first, read afterwards, and memorize later the ν´ (51) the ρμγ´ (104) and the γ´ (3), λζ´ (38), ξβ´ (63), πζ´ (88), ρβ´ (103), ρμβ´ (143) psalms, as well as all psalms used in services. At the same time got accustomed to the prophetic readings from the Old Testament. Listening to the Liturgy of Chrysostom and memorizing its prayers due to the frequency of its occurrence helped tremendously. I witnessed many uneducated people to know by heart many psalms, some even the entire book of psalms. It was the practice, when one dies, the night of the death, to be with the body of the deceased and read the entire book of psalms. Many old people just recite them by heart as the book as moving around in the room, and each one was taking its part. One of the competitions we had as kids in summer bible camps was to learn the psalms by heart. At that time I memorized many errors as well, for example γιγνώσκω for γινώσκω in the ν´ (51) psalm, that I curried repeating the error until few years ago, when a colleague noticed them and asked me to focus my attention into my errors and correct them.
Also, by that time in 5th and 6th grade we covered the Modern Greek grammar. That means that for nouns and adjectives we new everything except dative, and for verbs we new everything except ἀπαρέμφατον and the group συζυγία of verbs in -μι. Of course there are some variation in the formulation of the χρόνους, but not in the logic of it. Approaching classical and biblical Greek from a Modern Greek point of view, and based on the continuity of the language, while you are comfortable in the official form of the language - καθαρεύουσα - gives one the great advantage I had.
Then, at middle school, we had a year of an artificial text, by Ζούκη http://www.free-ebooks.gr/gre/ebook/2300 that was written to accompany the grammar book of Τζαρτζάνου http://blogs.sch.gr/billbas/2010/08/10/αρχαία-ελληνική-γραμματική-αχιλλέως/ . It was four days one hour a week classical Greek, and three hours a week grammar. The 8th grade text was Xenophon's Anavasis and Herodote's histrory. Simple, easy, to build confidence and vocabulary. In the 9th grade we were introduced to rhetoric, Lysias and Isokratis and Thusidites, the melitian dialogue and Demosthene's speach. The Tzarzano's syntax came into the picture. We were taught syntax in the 9th and 10th grade. In the 10th grade the main text was Antigone, and theatrical work continued to the 11th grade. At that time, the courses in philoshopy and theology introduced parts of Aristotle and Church fathers, in a double text, original and modern Greek translation in the side. Finally, at the last two years, Homer was introduced. I have mentioned that I was in the science track of gymnasium, not the classical. But the smartest and most competitive were there, and as a result we werer better in languages than our counter parts of the non science focussed track.
Not all loved the language, and not all teachers were capable of teahing it in a way that we can appreciate what we were taught and learn. They were only few good teachers that knoledgeable and loving the subject. Many made us to hate the Greek language but few helped us to love it. I was fortunate to be in the last generation that Greek at least was taught. In the early eighies, conservatives and socialists introduced reforms that eliminated the official usage of the purified form, kathareuousa, which had datives and infinitives, forms and structures that allowed one to be familiar easier to the historical language. Classical Greek was taught in a parallel with Modern Greek, and modern Greek had literature from the middle centuries and after. Grammar and syntax were taught only in terms of the Classical greek after the 6th grade, and in the modern Greek one was explained the variations of the evolution.
All those textbooks we used then, now are reprinted and in circulation. Those of us who want our children to not loose contact and break from the historical language we are use them with our children, in Greece and abroad. The most important, these texts are free in the web, available to all, in an electronic format, in a document format and in a pdf format.
But the most important was not what was taught, but how was taught. The language had context, was never just grammatical and syntactical rules, as I observed been taught in the US when I was sitting in a classics program couple years ago. At that time, when I was doing my search on Grammar, I was amazed to see that Dionysious Thrax twenty two centuries before, presented the mode that I was taught Greek.
Γραμματική ἐστιν ἐμπειρία τῶν παρὰ ποιηταῖς τε καὶ συγγραφεύσιν ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολὺ λεγομένων. Μέρη δὲ αὐτῆς εἰσὶν ἕξ·
• πρῶτον ἀνάγνωσις ἐντριφῆς κατὰ προσῳδίαν,
• δεύτερον ἐξήγησις, μετὰ τοὺς ἐνυπάρχοντας ποιητικοὺς τρόπους,
• τρίτον γλωσσῶν τε καὶ ἱστοριῶν πρόχειρος ἀπόδοσις,
• τέταρτον ἐτυμολογίας εὕρεσις,
• πέμπτον ἀναλογίας ἐκλογισμός,
• ἔκτον κρίσις ποιημάτων, ὅ δὴ κάλλιστόν ἐστὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν τῇ τέχνῃ.
R.Robins, in his Byzantine Grammarians, page 44 gives the following translation.
Grammar is empirical knowledge [the greek texts has as a noun the experience, ἐμπειρία, been the object, and says nothing about knowledge γνώσις, and experience requires πείρα] of the general usage of poets and prose writers. It has six divisions [Μέρη is parts rather than divisions, and it is some discussion for that in Theodosious, parts are coming on their own αὐτούσια, while divisions from the one who divides]:
• first, expert [ἐντριφῆς – here the transmited typorgaphic text has a problem. It has to be either ἐντρυφής delightful or ἐντριβής, proved by rubbing, versed in, because of a lot of practice and experience – and I think both are important since only by been ἐντριβής one becomes ἐντρυφής] reading with due regard [according] to prosodic features;
• second, explanation of the literary expressions found in the texts;
• third, the provision of notes on particular words and on the subject matter;
• forth, the discovery [finding - εὕρεσις not ἀνακάλυψις] of etymologies;
• fifth, the working out of grammatical regularities [ἀναλογίας ἐκλογισμός -to explore the rational of the analogies in the text] ;
• sixth, the critical appreciation of literature [to judge whatever is written], which is the finest part of all that the science [there is nothing about ἐπιστήμη but the focus is on the art] embraces.
As Robins notes, one scholiast notes that what is involved is not so much the content of grammar but the requirements laid upon the teacher (p. 45).
It is noticeable that even classicists to the statue of Robins while dealing with Greek grammar prove that they know but not feel the language, as a result they provide translations that miss most the nuances of the language which are kept in the native speakers even if and when the knowledge is not there.
The above passage presents how we were taught and were examined and tested.
While in the classroom for instruction, first the text was read out loud to us by the professor, and we had to listen without seen it. Then it was read out loud to us again, and we had to follow it reading it with our eyes. Then, detailed explanation of the pragmatological, literal, grammatical and syntactical issues entailed in the text were presented to us. After that, we were assumed that we have knowledge of he text, and as a result we could be able to translate it, or provide the meaning of it in our own words. Having achieved that, we needed to know the etymology of the words. A separate text on etymology was available for our usage as an auxiliary text. We had to identify grammatically all the words of the text, and be comfortable with all their grammatical variation. Finally we had to pass a judgment on the text that was the most difficult of all. Also, as an auxiliary text we had the list of the irregular verves. Such texts were as a short one volume of 170 pages to an extensive three-volume sequence of about 300 pages per volume including examples.
Because not all of us were able to do all the above, we were getting help by using special books that were providing all the above in a ready-made fashion called μεταφράσεις. Good students never used them, I did, but now I search for them and cannot find them. Good philologists were punishing us severely if we were caught to have the forbidden book with us. But mediocre instructors used them as well.
Every day we were tested orally. That meant that three four students were standing in front of the class, having to read the text, translated into Modern Greek, answer random questions with respect to grammatical syntactical etymological and pragmatological matters of the text, and be graded. Also we need to know how to write it correctly when the test was read to us out loud - ὀρθογραφία.
After the first two years of middle school, in the last four years on high school, we were taking written exams in a double form. The first part was on the known text – that was easy because we were able to be prepared. It was a similar text to our oral testing in a written form from everything we covered during the term in class. The second part was a test from parts that were never taught; know as unknown text, ἄγνωστο κείμενο, and the best way to practice for that was to read more of the text on your own. Thus I remember reading variety of tragedies and many parts of the History by Thusidites. The test was coprized by writing the text as it was read out loud to you, ὀρθογραφία, and from the spelling that you had then in front of you, one had to do all the analysis. Difficulties arose when you have to hear words in sequence as: ἐφ' ᾧ ὁ παραλυτικὸς - τί οὗτος οὕτως λαλεῖ (Mark 2, 1-12 - NA27) τί οὗτος οὕτω λαλεῖ (WH, ANT1904). Besides of writing correctly, we had to write nice and clear, καλλιγραφία, that I missed today from my students.
Unfortunately, I was one of the last classes trained in Greek in that mode. Everything changed in 1981. I hope they will change their attitude. But I am comfortable with the education I got in my language, and I teach the same way I was taught.

: : I was just looking at these fixtures last night. I have been trying to find a manufactuer's web page or any other info on the web. Also saw them at the Home Depot store but not on their website.
: : Anyone have a website for Pegasus?
: I don't have a website for them, but according to Home Depot it is an "up-scale" faucet made for them. The address shown on the Pegasus carton is an Atlanta address and is Home Depot's home office. I want to buy
: I looked at Moen and Delta DON'T say that their cartridges are ceramic. I think it's Delta who says is that they have washerless valves. Their label reads that they have stainless steel washers (or was it valves?
: I wish I knew more about them. I compared discounted prices at a builder's heating and plumbing store for Kohler brushed chrome faucets against the Pegasus faucets: Six Kohler bathroom fixtures: $1,162. Six Pegasus
: I've tried Epinions.com and couldn't get any info on Pegasus there. There was negative comment posted on this site, but their opinion wasn't based on an experience with the product from what I could tell.
: Signed - Unhappy in McHenry
: If anyone else out there has any information, PLEEEASE post your experience. Who can blame me for wanting to save $410?
We just purchased a Pegasus bathroom faucet. We love it. Have had no problems whatsoever. It has a life time warranty and Home Depot is so good about returns. We are also going to purchase the matching wall hardware for towels and such. Just thought I would let you know. I too was looking for a website and have found none.

As of right now, the game is still in an alpha stage. I plan on adding sound to the game. There is an upgrade shop the player may open at any time and spend the credits they earn throughout the game. Currently there is no break between the waves, and I see no reason to add any, as it keeps the game tense and fast paced. The waves get increasingly difficult, though there is a long interval between waves 11 and 21 where little will change. The starting screen is bare bones minimum. Planning to move a large chunk of the code to functions to clean up the source. Leave any comments, praises/flames as you see fit. INSTRUCTIONS: Right arrow --> RIGHT Left arrow --> LEFT Space --> FIRE WEAPONS 's' key --> OPEN/CLOSE PLAYER SHOP mouse button--> SELECT UPGRADES IN PLAYER SHOP 'q' key --> CLOSE GAME

1st) Sandaime vs. Orochimaru (real Kusunagi)
2nd) Sasuke vs. lots of Shinobi (Sasuke's Kusunagi) **I thought this one happened before Oro vs. Naruto, can't remember page number where it is
3rd) Orochimaru vs. Naruto 4th tail (real Kusunagi)
4th) Sasuke vs. Naruto at Orochimaru's lair (Sasuke Kusunagi)
Im saying the 3rd & 4th happened in the same day in the same afternoon, re-read the manga and you'll see k?
So your telling me that Orochimaru would fight 4th tail Naruto and almost die then run back to his hide out while being followed by team Yamato, only to have team Yamato break in to Orochimaru's hide out maybe an hour or 2 later WHILE in the mean time Orochimaru rounded up a couple hundred shinobi and caused a big fight where Sasuke had to beat everyone come back to the hide out have time to take a nap AND re-hilt his sword (because heaven forbid Sasuke used a sword that had the same hilt as Orochimaru's) while team Yamato found Sai THEN be found by team Yamato and fight them too???
You have got to be the master of multi tasking if your saying this is possible o_O
Go re-read what I just wrote and im gonna go look for the page where Sasuke is sitting on the shinobi's he just beat up, if its before the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight then im sticking to my point, but if its after then depends on how long after and whether or not it was ment to be a flashback, cause when I read it I read it as a flashback.
Honestly you really think re-hilting a sword is that important that after almost dying Orochimaru would run back to his hide out just to change the sword hilt? Or even invent a jutsu to change a hilt? You said so yourself, "its so easy to change a hilt" so who would be stupid enough to invent a jutsu just for something like that....

All text content rests in text files, and pictures resides in the directory in which the site itself is located. The text used in the SWiSH also supports some HTML tags so that you can use limited markup there if you want all through the text files.
