The Renaissance saw an abundance of images of saints, some chosen for their personal resonance as patron or name saint of an individual donor or church. Many, however, were simply popular and commonly celebrated throughout the Renaissance—such as Saint Jerome.
Four paintings of Saint Jerome appear in Renaissance, proving his popularity throughout 15th and 16th century Europe. The earliest is by Pseudo Pier Francesco Fiorentino. Saint Jerome and a Franciscan c.1455–60 shows Jerome wrapped in red robes with a Franciscan monk and two lions. This and Zanetto Bugatto's Saint Jerome removing a thorn from the lion's paw 1461–63 show variations of the legend where either Jerome or a monk instructed by him removed a thorn from a lion's paw. Both paintings are set in a rocky, mountainous landscape with Jerome dressed in a cardinal's habit. The landscape is indicative of the time Jerome spent as a hermit. The Golden Legend, a popular collection of saints' tales, refers to Jerome as one of Pope Damasus' cardinals, while a variation refers to him as a 'special secretary'.
In any case the red robes are a common identifier of Saint Jerome in art.
Giorgio Schiavone
'Saint Jerome' c.1458–60
Accademia Carrara, Bergamo
Legacy of Guglielmo Lochis 1866
Giorgio Schiavone's painting is one of pair—the other is of Saint Alexis. Both are shown holding their attributes in Classical niches with Italianate landscapes behind. Jerome holds the accoutrements of a writer and scholar: a book, quills, ink and a glasses case. He is famed for his Latin transition of the Bible and is the patron saint of scholars, students, librarians, booksellers, and translators.
On the 3 February we held our members Renaissance curators dinner. The evening started with an introduction of the exhibition by co-ordinating curator Christine Dixon, followed by an exclusive viewing of the works. Members were then treated to a three course dinner in Gandel Hall created by executive chef James Kidman from his new cookbook Renaissance table. We would especially like to thank the ANU school of music for the wonderful entertainment during the evening.
If you haven't yet had a chance to experience this wonderful exhibition at a special members event, we have our Afternoon Aperitifs and Antipasto event taking place on March 18.

What is going on in the Childrens Gallery?
A fantastical fountain. Subverted street-signs. An invisible bird. Three red balls tossed into a blue sky. A tower of toys. A lost cloud. A somersaulting schoolgirl.
People are smiling.
Play celebrates artists who look at the world with a smile - an exhibition for the young and the young-at-heart.
Good artists seek the truth of things. Everything they experience is a possible starting place. Henri Matisse observed that it takes great courage to look at things as they really are, as though seeing them for the first time. We are born with this clarity, but over time learned conventions obscure our 'innocent eye'. Children create things out of nothing: turning empty boxes into castles and clouds into dragons. They are curious and inventive. At heart, they are just like artists.

On February 24 the Gallery unveiled a major international acquisition; a stunning large scale work titled Oceania, the sea by Henri Matisse. The work was purchased with funds generously provided by National Gallery of Australia Council Member
Mr Timothy Fairfax AM.
The Gallery has sought to acquire Matisse's Oceania, the sea for some time. The magnificent four metre canvas and silk screen work will now form a pair to the Gallery's Oceania, the sky acquired in 1990.
Oceania, the sea is in excellent condition. The work is signed and dedicated to the artist's son, Pierre, and was acquired from the Matisse family. It is a key work of modern art, a masterpiece of Matisse's late career.
Henri Matisse's Oceania, the seais now hanging in the International galleries on level 1.
For those in Brisbane Oceania, the sky is currently on display at Queensland Art Gallery as part of the exhibition Matisse: Drawing Life until 4 March.

Not following whats sasuke got do with the fox recognising or not recognising who tobi is from just looking at his sharingan? Speaking of the sasuke and the fox meeting the fox commented on sasuke's chakra not the sharingan in particular. So he may have done the same with tobi sensed his chakra or something.
To answer the questions about the hair and masks...
I believe we see Tobi wearing different masks because he had been involved in more than 1 serious shinobi battle whereby a mask would have been damaged or lost. The 4th Mizukage comes to mind, where that fits the timeline with the switching of masks I am not sure but it stands that in a serious battle a strong shinobi would need to unmask Tobi depending on which reasons are known for fighting. So, each new mask would be a significant indication of a new Tobi era; post awesome fight or achievement.
His hair changes length not only for any possible reason associated with changing masks but also, and mainly, that this incarnation of Madara simply ages. Perpetuating youth or life in the manners of Orochimaru or Tsunade do not suit his style nor his aims; not to mention he has his own method which suits both. The more plant like "zetsuness" that claims Madara, the more likely he is to keep his long lockes =p If we were to see that Tobi is now 80% or more a zetsu like state then he probably looks like Zetsu with a short head of hair. Heck, I bet Tobi lost his original head in a shinobi battle, probably one where he lost a cool mask too.
@psukkar: even sasuke demonstrated how much control his sharingan had over the fox when team 7 first were reunited, so i would rule it out
If you're implying that because Sasuke suppressed the Foxes chakra, that that means someone other than Madara could also control the Fox, then you may be misconstruing what happened.
Sasuke surpressed the chakra that was leaking out of Naruto's seal when Naruto became emotionally unstable by seeing Sasuke. This is not the same as controlling the fox himself free of the seal.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
edit: Whoops, I just realized that Madara was short haired when fighting Yondaime, scratch most of this post. The mystery sickness of Itachi was probably still a factor in ending Madara's life. Maybe he died in a ninja battle or from succumbing to disease but not until after Nagato was born. Nagato is how old? A little older than Yondaime, correct? My understanding of the timeline needs some work to better reconstruct events.
edit2: Oh gosh, I just realized that Madara had long hair when recounting Itachi noticing him for the first time. Itachi totally could have killed Madara. There are some inconsistencies I cannot yet account for. The fluctuating hair is a real wrench in the works because who was who and when were they who?!?!

The only link we have between Senju and Uchiha are the sons of the Sage of Six Paths. Far as we know, the enmity between the 2 groups hadn't allowed for interaction before Konoha's founding. And after the founding, Madara is the one least likely to have propagated with the Uzumaki or Senju Clans.
What if Madara abducted Nagato during the destruction of the whirlpool country while Nagato was a baby.
He had no memories of being orphaned or his village being destroyed, and lives his younger years through a genjutsu believing he has parents. By using leaf shinobi to murder his "fake" parents, not only did Madara help unlock Nagato's rinnegan, but he planted a seed of hatred for the leaf within Nagato.
****all speculation, if you intend to bash the theory, please don't respond, as i didnt really think about this before posting this, so i don't intend to defend it****

Compare great Cadillac Gearbox Repairs prices in Morpeth with Who Can Fix My Car.
The price includes window, tyre, and brakes fix. I'd say that the price is reasonable. The mechanic was very patient and gave me options of parts. Everything works very well since the fix except the rear tyres. Perhaps it's time to return to a tyre specialist.
Very friendly very efficient will use again
Great family feel to this excellent garage. I'll be back. Thanks
Excellent service, picked the car up from my house, diagnosed the problem and solved it within days.
Car sorted nice family business. No worries
Just had a great experience with Woodhorn Motors, Quick and efficient, honest pricing and friendly service, would highly recommend. We will certainly be back.
Top work carried out no hidden costs, trustworthy defo always use this garage from now on
Great service had the cambelt and aux belt done. Customer service and mechanical side excellent. Will be getting quotes for any future work. Thanks guys
I would 100% recommend Woodhorn Motors. I was a little bit apprehensive being a young female taking my car to be serviced for the first time, but everyone was friendly and helpful, and really put me at ease. When I picked the car up, I was informed about an issue they had found while carrying out the service and told how much it would cost to fix/how long it would take if I was to book it in at a later date. I will absolutely be going back to Woodhorn Motors after such a positive experience.
Dropped car off on the morning was explained what work would be done .They later rang to say it was ready before the time .Had no problems with this Garage would probably use them again
Very efficient booking process and work carried promptly whilst I waited. Very pleased with the work carried out and with the price I paid.

Is anybody else worried that with the withdrawal of Tanith and Ben from Worlds, US dance could lose one of its spots? I expect Meryl and Charlie be on the podium but will Samuelson and Bates and/or Navarro and Bommentre finish high enough to keep the third spot?
I don't think it'll be a problem. S/B placed 11th at the Olympics, and at least 3 teams ahead of them won't be at Worlds. I think the US is in good shape to get 3 spots in dance next year.
I can see the US only having two spots in each division after these worlds - how embarrassing will that be?
It will be quite a tribute to US men if our top two are missing and we still get the 3 spots. Which I think will happen.
He's still going; I meant Evan & Johnny as the missing top two.
I would think the combination of Jeremy and Adam should be quite enough to qualify the US for 3 spots. The depth in mens is admirable.

Not a Lot of Change
Pat Steinberg
August 16 2011 05:25PM
When looking at the Calgary Flames roster as it appears right now, you'll notice one thing that isn't the most common in today's NHL: a group of forwards that is virtually unchanged from the year prior. There will be slight changes from the coming training camp as opposed to one year ago, as Daymond Langkow will be present and Ales Kotalik will not. For the most part, however, it's the same group, something that has it's pros and cons. The Flames are leaning far heavier to the former as opposed to the latter.
When things were at their best for the Calgary Flames, the line combinations looked like this:
Alex Tanguay-Brendan Morrison-Jarome Iginla
Curtis Glencross-Olli Jokinen-David Moss
Niklas Hagman-Mikael Backlund-Rene Bourque
Tom Kostopoulos-Matt Stajan-Tim Jackman
So, the loss of Kotalik isn't really all that significant, as he barely played on the big club last year while Langkow coming back was easy to fit in with injuries to Moss and Morrison at the end of the season. That said, all 12 of those forwards are back for the coming year, along with Langkow, on a team that missed the playoffs last season.
The Flames are certainly excited for the lack of large change during the summer, as the belief is it gives them a great chance to have continuity right off the hop, hopefully to avoid the early season swoon the team suffered last year. It's one of the topics I've focused on during a number of off season interviews to this point.
"I think it's great," said forward David Moss when I talked to him last week. "When you can come into camp and you know the guys, and for the most part you know the guys you're playing with, you know they're tendencies, you played together...for more than a couple years and I think that's great. There's no adjustment period and you should be able to go out and play and get the ball rolling right away."
It's a good concept. Calgary had such issues getting out of their own way to start last season and it played a large part in why they were sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference for parts of November and December. In theory, having a group of guys familiar with each other could eliminate some of those growing pains and put the team in a good spot to start the season.
There's also a desire to keep the group together. A group that went on a pretty remarkable run through January and February.
"I think it's really important," GM Jay Feaster told me on Saturday. "It's a tough thing to articulate, the kind of change that we saw in the room and the way this team came together and the way they really bought into the things that Brent (Sutter) wants to do in terms of system and style of play and I think it's going to be great."
I can see the positive side of keeping this group together. However, there's also a concerning side of it, when looking at next season by itself. Let's remember, the Flames missed the playoffs last year, and did so with names like Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay, Curtis Glencross and David Moss having impressive statistical years. They also did it while Rene Bourque and Matt Stajan, among others, were generally terrible.
Seeing Bourque, Stajan, Hagman and other have bounce back seasons is not something I'm worried about. In fact, I think it'll happen on most, if not all, fronts. What worries me more is knowing Iginla scored 43 goals last year and the team missed the playoffs, while Morrison and Tanguay both ahd huge rebound years themselves. Those contributions, especially from that trio, will have to be similar to what they were last year, as we don't anticipate that line being used in a "best on best" role.
That job of working against top line players on the other team will likely fall to guys like Glencross, Moss, and perhaps Langkow, and they likely will all do a solid job, the same way they have prior in their career. However, being put in that role consistently also lessens their offensive contributions. It's pretty simple: if you're tasked with shutting down the best of the best on the other side, sometimes your own offensive numbers are going to suffer. We saw that in effect two seasons ago with the offensive numbers of Langkow.
So while some important players will be taking on very important roles, there's a chance the Iginla line will be placed in more favourable spots to put up offensive numbers. But that means they're going to have to do it. And it's not like I'm saying they won't. Another full season with another full training camp for the Tanguay-Iginla duo could very possibly result in another strong offensive season, and it would surprise no one if that came to pass. It was Iginla's best offensive season in the last three years, and he turned 34 on Canada Day. Not being surprised seeing Jarome surpass 40 is one thing; expecting it, or relying on it, to happen is another thing.
For his part, Feaster believes another season with the same Head Coach is the way to go for this group of forwards. "To a man, the guys, I believe understand Brent," he said. "They saw, in my mind, Brent being himself and coaching the way he believes in that second half and to have that same group come back, I think it's awesome."
For me, bringing back a largely unchanged team after a second straight non-playoff year is a risk. I will admit it has the potential to yield some nice results too, but it depends on a number of things coming to pass, and as we know there are no guarantees. However, as I've said many times, I look at the Flames as more than just the coming season. If this group doesn't have overwhelming success this year, it doesn't affect the long term direction of the club.
It's not the way ownership or management will ever look at it, but I look at it this way: The long term future, starting with next summer, is what's really important to the Calgary Flames. Some nice success this year, and maybe a postseason birth, is just icing on the cake.
August 16 2011, 07:22PM
They saw, in my mind, Brent being himself and coaching the way he believes in that second half
Translation: he was free from interference from his older brother.
This fact is one of the true reasons to be optimistic about next season. Sutter stepped on a bunch of landmines his first couple seasons here and there's mounting evidence they were thrown in his path by Darryl.
August 16 2011, 07:40PM
I've been pleasantly surprised by some the moves that Feaster has made for the Heat. The organizations depth has improved, but in your view can the team count on call ups to play regular minutes, if they have to?
August 16 2011, 07:42PM
Forward?...not unless Paul Byron takes a step forward. Bouma and Nemisz et al are all replacement level or worse right now (read; 4th liners at best).
I think there are a number of reasons for optimism.
As Kent points out the removed interference from Big Sutter is a strong reason for optimism.
I think Stajan and Hagman will rebound to some degree. Though I don't see either being major factors on the roster.
I think Bouwmeester may improve as well. He was buried as Regher's partner. Hopefully Sutter will take a more balanced approach with his D.
The return of Langkow may be a big deal if he is a semblance of his prior self. Hopefully his return will prompt a resurgence of Bourque's two-way game.
Jokinen had a rebound season. This season he may not be counted on to do the heavy lifting which could improve his game even further.
All signs point to Backlund having a break out season. I am also not certain Giordano has peaked. He will be scary if he reaches another level.
Some people are looking for Baertschi to pull a Jeff Skinner this season. I really doubt it. But there is room for him to beat out Hagman. A few other rookies may make the team, though none of them are primed to be impact players.
I know some are concerned about Iginla and Tanguay losing some of their production. I am not.
Iggy has been a consistent 85+ point producer for half a decade. Last season was not the exception. The season prior was. He may not be a power against power option any longer but given his fitness level I don't see any reason he can't reproduce last seasons numbers.
Tanguay has had a rockier path over the past couple of seasons. But if Iggy is clicking he probably will as well. He also seems to have a different attitude then his last go around. Last season PKing was a welcomed challenge, the previous go it was poor utilization.
If Brent can focus the Flames top line on offense right from the start Tanguay and Iggy could actually exceed last season offensively. Last season he burned the first month by deploying the top line in a P2P role with Jokinen at the helm.
Players like Morrison and Jackman may fall off. But oh well. Morrison was a replacement player. Jackman is a support player and his 23-points aren't critical.
To me the big question is on the d-core and on goal tending.
Hannan helps alleviate some of the concerns about our D. But the proof will be in the pudding as Feaster says.
Goal tending may dictate the success or failure of this team. I have no idea which Kipper will show up. If its 09/10 Kipper we will be in great shape.
I still think this roster lacks the talent to go up against the big dogs in the league. We saw the club near its best the last half of the season and they struggled to get wins against the top teams. However, if they see certain players reach a new level and if Kipper rebounds they could be a decent threat.
Great article Pat. I agree that the idea of little change at forward (and in general) is possibly good, maybe bad. Continuity helps and the point of picking up early-season wins versus teams still learning each other stands. Then again, the same team essentially missed the playoffs last year but perhaps injury was a factor (late season Moss and Morrison). Again, I also wonder and doubt if some of the underperformers can pick things up while the stars keeping on being great. I agree with SinCity1976 too in that we cannot expect every line to score more if say the OMG line is matched against other teams stud-lines. I believe players on the top 2 lines and 4th line will be OK. So I suggest the 6 key players to watch are Langkow (can he be a two-way performer as in past), Kipper (can he get back to a top-10 in NHL goalie at least), Hannan (can he play the hard minutes), Bouwmeester (can he improve on offense and play more boldly), and Butler (can he be an all-around consistent D-man), and Staj-Hagman-ovich - can he just be a bit better at least.
All these positive waves man, we cant lose:):)
I'm not concerned at all with bringing back the same forward group. The flames offensive stats last year were fine-to-very-good, and certainly not the reason they missed the playoffs. The ups and downs of individuals should be more or less a wash... Iggy might drop 10 goals, but Hagman and Stajan could easily go up 5 each. Even on defence, Hannan + Butler is roughly equivalent to Regher + Pardy in my mind. Maybe a little better. Maybe a little worse. Depends on Butler's progression.
To me, the two big determinants Of whether they make the playoffs or not is goaltending and Langkow. I'm hoping to see Karlson take a step forward and be able to play 15-20 games, and I'm hoping the lighter load helps Kipper add a .1 to that awful save percentage from last year. I also hope Langkow comes back as a great 2nd line, heavy lifting center he was before. But I also figure if he doesn't, worst case he can replace Kotalik's offense just by sneezing in the general direction of the ice. I think if either of those factors work out, the flames will be in a 6-8 spot next April. If neither works out they'll be in a 9-12. If both work out, they may even push for a 4-5 spot and be a team no one really wants to play next spring.
On the whole, I'm very satisified, and pleasantly surprised, with Feaster's handiwork this off season. With the contractual obligations he inherited, not even (insert Demi-God's name here) could have fixed this franchise this summer. But their second half last year bought him time to re-sell the same roster as having a hope-in-hell of making the playoffs, and he did that without screwing up the franchise for next season. Tanguay and Glencross won't hurt you with those cap hits, and Morrison, Hannan, Babchuck, et al are short term deals that allow you to go a different direction next year if needed. Everyone seems content with the draft picks. And we can't forget that with Langkow back, the flames would be $5M over the cap right now if not for the regher trade. I think everyone would agree that keeping regher and Kotalik but letting tanguay and Glencross walk would have left the flames in obvious bottom feeder territory this season.
Great article.
It's amazing to think that Darryl was that big of a detriment to the club, especially after being heralded for such a long time as the guy who changed it all around. I hope that's the case and the Flames do something because according to this - http://www.calgaryherald.com/Feaster+sees+Flames+playoff+contender/5258605/story.html#ixzz1VEMpOOd4
there won't be any change in the party line of 'win now' anytime soon. This'll be the litmus test, I guess.
My worries remain their record against top tier clubs, advancing age, complacency with fat, new contracts and leadership.
I think it's become more and more obvious that Iginla wanted Regehr out of the room because he was challenging his position as alpha.
August 17 2011, 07:17AM
ON your last point, When I was talking to Skrudland at the draft he made this comment to me re: the Regehr trade: "now who will stand up to Iggy?"
I don't know the dynamic in the room, but I thought that was interesting.
ON your last point, When I was talking to Skrudland at the draft he made this comment to me re: the Regehr trade: "now who will stand up to Iggy?"
I don't know the dynamic in the room, but I thought that was interesting.
As much as Reg will always be dear to my heart, I could sense that he was kind of a grouch. And a vocal one too. I once heard him defend his position on how some people may not like what he has to say at times but he'll come out and say it anyway. That said, with Gio emerging as the soulful leader on the back end, it was wise to have a change in post. Lets hope Butler & Byron give us more than we've bargained for.
Based on various comments over the years it's something I've always surmised, so I find your commetn quite interesting.
I've always thought that too much was done to make this team Iggy's and that the loss of a lot of the guys from the 2004 team was devastating.
Plus, from a philosophical point of view, having the team belong to one guy is not something I buy into. To me, you can never have too many leaders - the 1989 club, for example, had how many future captains?
The 2004 team was arguably Darryl Sutter's team, not Iggy's. There have been multiple reports of how the players looked to Darryl as their real leader. They call Jim Playfair, JP-22 indicating he didn't have their respect. Therefore, IMO, it wasn't until Sutter stopped coaching that it really became Iggy's team.
Sorry, JP-22?
Based on media interviews & on-ice observations, I would say Regehr carried some Sutter in him... which wasn't a bad thing when it came to contributing on the ice, but you got the sense there were two ways of thinking: Iginla's and Regehr's.
Regehr seems to be a kick-in-the-pants, details type, while Iginla appears to approach the game as a "Don't think too much, just go out and play." You could argue either approach is more/less effective, but it was interesting to see these differences at work. Especially after a loss, when Iggy would say something to the effect of "we're playing tight, we need to relax" and Regehr would call out certain positions (without naming names) and demand more focus and compete. Again, not a right vs wrong argument, just a different approach.
One very small snapshot of this: When I was in MTL at the Flames/Habs game, Kiprusoff had just left the net for a break, and Karlsson didn't see that the net was his, so he continued to stretch for a second or two. Typically, the players would shoot on the empty net until the next goaltender steps in. I was in view of Regehr to see him completely lose it on Karlsson. First off, I was frightened because angry Regehr at ice-level is terrifying. Secondly, I couldn't help but think how different Iggy would have handled the situation. Part of it is being a competitive person, I understand that, but flipping out at the back-up goaltender before a game? Oddly enough, Kipper was pulled after MTL made it 4-0, and Karlsson weathered the storm for a Flames comeback, as they tied the game at 4 and forced overtime.
I also can't help but think there's a reason Regehr was selected as the odd man out. Obviously, he had more value than most players on the team, but I'm sure there were other options available.
As for the void left by Regehr: he's a very solid, reliable player, but I would argue the offseason additions somewhat cancel out the loss of his contributions. Couldn't two potential top-4 D men (Hannan, Butler) fill that void? I'm a big Regehr fan, but let's not forget: the Flames' D wasn't exactly lights-out last season anyway. Change on the back-end could even mean an upgrade, for all we know at this point.
August 17 2011, 09:59AM
For what it's worth, Skrudland said the Panthers pursued Regehr in part because of the quality of person/dressing room presence he was.
Reggie strikes me as a guy who will become a coach one day. He almost always talked sense in his interviews.
The Flames dressing room leadership is an interesting question. From what you hear Iggy is the quiet show by example type, two of the more vocal guys Phaneuf and Regehr are gone, so isn't it time for some of the other guys (Bourque, Gio...) to step up?
August 17 2011, 03:25PM
As far as I can tell, leadership in a room really rests on a hierarchy that is determined by seniority, playing time, resume, pay check, etc.
August 17 2011, 09:44PM
iglina = obama
regehr = eisenhower

Translation: he was free from interference from his older brother.
I would like to see the "mounting evidence" of this. Without first hand accounts of this behaviour, these comments come across as cheap accusations from outsiders. Almost personal jabs at Darryl Sutter's character. Perhaps some media members and bloggers are jointly withholding their "off-the-record" type info and stories from players and coaches, assistants, scouts that support these assertions. I don't know.
On the outside, Darryl seemed to be honest and loyal to his team. I am sure he was passionate and gave people his opinion, whether good or bad. But players and co-workers seemed to respect him and appeared to be disappointed that he had to go. He made some bad trades near the end and he was not good with media. I'm not saying he should still be GM. I just think these comments about his character are a little "below the belt" when there is a lack of evidence in public.

Hey section 205, I agree a lot is speculation and circumstantial. But & maybe someone or Kent can back me on this, but I believe it was sometime in February when they were on that incredible run & they interviewed Brent & he was asked if he had talked to Darryl since he resigned & the reply was no he hadnt. Now read what you want but that wasnt the first time word of the lack of communication between the brothers had circulated. Do you not find it a little odd that all the asst coaches were purged(except 1) & Brent hired replacements. That tells me he was not allowed to hire his own people when he came in & the only reason for a new coach to do that was that a controlling GM wouldnt let him. If it looks like a duck & sounds like a duck, it usually is a duck.

The difference in pattern adds a little more credibility to the idea that the Elder Son's eyes may have been closer to that of the EMS than the Rinnegan. The pattern of the Elder Son's eyes also remind me of Tobi's swirl mask. I am still suspicious that their are two aspects of the Mangekyou sharingan, as we have seen, Kakashi and Tobi both have eye powers that seem to manipulate space. Powers that seem quite different from the ones that Itachi, Sasuke, and Madara have shown. We still don't know enough to confirm why different Mangekyou seem to have different abilities but some are the same. Perhaps this is due to the impurity of the bloodline. Perhaps the Elder Son had all of the Mangekyou abilities that would be another possible explanation for why Tobi needs Sasuke. Perhaps Madara's EMS was incomplete, Sasuke still has a chance to awaken the true Eyes of the Elder brother which are also needed to create the true Rinnegan.
We know that Madara was attempting to recreate the bloodline of the Sage of Six Path's within himself but we also know that he failed for some reason. Sasuke seems to be key in his plan of recreating that power but so far we haven't really seen any indication that Sasuke possesses something that Madara lacked. So perhaps it is that Madara made a mistake and tried to complete the Rinnegan without all of the necessary parts, as a result his Rinnegan was incomplete and so he attempted to evolve it further by giving it to another descendant of the line to develop it further. This could explain why the Rinnegan was given to Nagato. Now the eyes have absorbed Nagato's bloodline and been developed more but they still only represent one half of the who, which would explain why Nagato's rinnegan didn't possess any powers that the sharingan has. Madara himself is able to use Susanoo with his Rinnegan because he was an Uchiha who had already mastered the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Tobi is now using Sasuke to completely master the Elder Brother's powers. Tobi has since obtained and mastered some of the powers that Madara himself did not have at the time of his death. The time/space abilities. As I said in a previous post, I think the fact that we still haven't been told how Kakashi obtained his Mangekyou Sharingan is very significant. I think there are other conditions to awakening a different set of Mangekyou powers. It is possible that Tobi understands the process of combining these powers but he needs Sasuke (the last pure blooded living Uchiha) to recreate the true power of the Elder Brother's eyes, then by combining those Eyes with the Rinnegan he already possesses, he will create the true Rinnegan, the one that only the Original Sage of Six Path's possessed.
What I believe Tobi and Madara fail to understand though is that obtaining the power of the Sage Through scientific manipulation will not grant them the power of nature that is truly needed to control those powers the way the Original Sage was able to because he did it by mastering natural energy. As a result I think that when Tobi/Madara becomes the Jinnchuuriki of the Juubi he will lose control and the Juubi will break free. Naruto, who will have mastered the Sage Arts by that point and learned to balance Bijuu chakra with Natural energy will be the only one capable of being the Juubi's Jinchuuriki.

Skip to comments.Dems vow passage of background check bill (Start calling!!!!)
Posted on 11/15/2013 3:30:13 PM PST by Red in Blue PA
Far from dead, legislation expanding background checks before gun sales still has a chance of passing this Congress, Democratic leaders in the House and Senate said Wednesday.
While the background check issue has been dormant on Capitol Hill since the Senate shot down such a proposal earlier in the year, Democrats argue that enough pressure on House GOP leaders would return the topic to prominence and force a floor vote before next year's mid-term elections.
"So we're going to pass this law," he added. "We are going to finish the job and pass background checks and then move on and do other things we have to do to get guns off the streets and stop gun violence."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) echoed that message, pressing GOP leaders to take up the background check bill and arguing that a majority of House lawmakers would support it if they did. House passage, Pelosi continued, would then increase the odds of the bill clearing the Senate.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
A clear violation of the Second Amendment. Americans need to grab these out of control public servants and remind them about how the cow ate the cabbage. The Bill of Rights belongs to US, not them. They are not gods. They are PUBLIC SERVANTS. WE pay them!
What is Nancy talking about? She can just get Dear Leader to order the gun law he believes necessary. Legislatures are so cumbersome and unnecessary anymore.
That's perfect.
" ... the right to bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED..."
(aren't these people sworn to uphold our constitution, when they take office!?)
Not this sh!t again....
Why isn't the GOP fighting back with a national reciprocity bill, now that every state (that isn't run by blue ) allows concealed carry?
They just wait while Dems to keep throwing `gun control' bills against the wall until something sticks ....
Good and jam it down our throats like Obamacare. We need to hold the Congress for a generation or two.
Which categories of firearm purchases are not presently subject to background checks? A private transaction between two consenting adults is the only one that comes readily to my mind? Of course, gun sales between denizens of any age in a big city gang warfare/druggie zone would not be affected.
Obamacare is doing SO WELL, that they have a TON of political capital to spend -- not to mention, INCREDIBLE momentum.
They are clearly smoking crack. Seriously, not a euphamism, they are actually smoking real crack.
Obama veto pen mightier than the gun lobby?
And this is where we nail them with the following:
The President, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid all promised if you liked your health care you could keep it. If you like your doctor you can keep'em. None of that will change.
The President lied. The Speaker lied. The Majority Leader lied.
Now they're saying if you like your guns, you can keep'em.
And they want us to "trust" them.
I don't think so.
This should be repeated with any legislation these clowns put forth for the next three years.

The dems are really flailing now, trying to change the subject from one very unpopular Obamacare to another that is nearly as unpopular — gun control. We have to be vigilant, but barring another massive kindergarten shooting, I don't think this will go anywhere.
Just when ammo was once again starting to hit store shelves......
Background checks would not have prevented Newton or any of the high profile shootings since Obastard has been in office.
Make that "Newtown."
If these political hacks want to stop so-called "gun violence," or at least put a major dent in it, all they need to do is lock up all the violent black, Mexican, etc. gang members in the big cities.
We all know the real goal is to dis-arm white conservatives.
Psssst, hey democrats if you like your plan you can keep it. So please now proceed to gun control and seal the fate of those Senators in Red States.
"Background checks would not have prevented Newton or any of the high profile shootings since Obastard has been in office."
Newtown was caused by an incredibly stupid woman that paid for her stupidity with her life. Its a shame others had to pay for her stupidity too.
As you say, no background check would have prevented it.
I saw a video yesterday of blacks in NJ playing a "game" they call Knockout. They target someone walking down the street (all were white that I saw) whether it's male or female and see if they can hit them hard enough to knock them out. All for what they call fun.
Fellow readers,
Red Dog believes highly in compromise and finding common ground.
Lets stop turning a blind eye to our country's invasion and ensure "undocumented immigrants" don't avoid immigration background checks.
Conservatives would get to stop the invasion and leftist could investigate people...what's not to like?
Sleep well, R.D.
Put this on a billboard across from the White Hut...right in his face, and without a favorite slight of hand of his...the middle finger.
Just go away.
Leave our rights ALONE.
How about background checks on people running or elected to Congress and the White House?
That would leave the Democrats as a third party and No Bama, Jarrett, Axelrod anywhere near the White House.
If you want to see how bad it is, get a copy of Trevor Loudon's news book, "The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the US Congress", 2013, www.pacificfreedomfoundation.
Then you will cry!
Let me guess, if they get caught some sympathetic judge will give them a couple days in jail and release them. Not a year in prison like they should get.
Aw, I thought it was background checks for Obamacare Navigators.
OMG, I love it.
Pelosi is nuts.

|In response to Re: Lavatory basin drain leak
: I installed a new lavatory pop-up drain in our bathroom sink and it leaks around the area that contacts the vitreous china bowl as well as around the threads on the tail-piece. I installed plumbers putty generously under the chrome besel ring (the part visible looking down into the bowl)and applied plumbers grease on the rubber washer that tightens from below in order to facilitate a good fit.
: When I fill the basin and open the pop-up plunger, the water runs freely and I can not see any leaks. However, if I return in five minutes, I can see traces of water around the rubber washer, the flange nut and on the flange nut threads.
: I have tightened the flange nut as tightly as I feel is prudent because I do not want to crack the china bowl.
: I am about ready to remove and reinstall after gooping everything with silicon sealer as a last resort. I would appreciate anyone having had a similar problem sharing their "fix" with me. Silicon sealer seems like a sledge-hammer approach to a problem that requires finesse.

Researchers witness promising cancer treatment results in the lab as they head toward clinical trials and patent
Natural HPV/Cervical Cancer Treatment May Hold Key to a Cure
Research alliance between Staten Island University Hospital and CUNY College of Staten Island seeks patent for food-based therapies that target and kill tumor cells
STATEN ISLAND, NY – A revolutionary step toward curing cervical cancer is being forged by medical researchers on Staten Island.
A collaboration between Staten Island University Hospital, (SIUH) which is part of the North Shore – LIJ Health System, and a team of scientists at The City University of New York College of Staten Island (CUNY) has resulted in laboratory evidence of a breakthrough treatment that has the potential to open the door for a new wave of studies.
The partnership, known as Biomedical Laboratories for Integrative Cancer Research (BLICaR), is studying the capability of non-toxic food components to successfully target and kill tumor cells. Under study is curcumin, a spice component of the herb turmeric.
Food as Pharmacy
In the laboratory, strategic chemical linking of curcumin to cancer cell-targeted antibodies has been found to dramatically enhance the spice's ability to kill melanomas, the most serious form of skin cancer, as well as glioblastoma cells, which form from supportive tissue of the brain and spinal cord.
The BLICaR research team is studying novel approaches to deliver curcumin to cancer cells in the cervix, breast, skin and brain.
Unlike commonly used toxic chemotherapies, curcumin holds the promise of being relatively safe for normal cells, and therefore may yield a safe treatment strategy without side effects.
"When we began the process about two years ago, we already were aware that curcumin has potent anticancer and antiviral properties," said Dr. Probal Banerjee, a CSI professor in the department of chemistry and lead scientist in the BLICaR group. "In the past, however, it has been difficult to harness the benefits of curcumin as a treatment because of its tendency to quickly degrade when administered into the body."
Collaborative Research, Common Cause
The solution to overcoming curcumin's poor systemic bioavailability for cancer treatments was found during preclinical trials by Dr. Banerjee and the core team of BLICaR researchers: Anita Szerszen, DO, director of Geriatric Research (SIUH), Mario Castellanos, MD, clinical director of research in the SIUH Department of Medicine, Jimmie Fata, Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of Biology (CSI), an expert in breast cancer research, and Pria Ranjan Debata, Ph.D., post-doctoral fellow and lead executor of the experimental aspects of the project.
Killing on Contact in the Lab
The BLICaR project tested the possibility of developing a curcumin-based therapy for cervical cancer, which is caused by certain strains of Human Papillomvirus, (HPV). This effort resulted in the development of Vacurin, a curcumin-based vaginal cream, which effectively eradicates HPV (+) cancer cells and does not affect non-cancerous tissue. The team has published these results in the journal Gynecologic Oncology in 2012 and applied for a patent for their recent breakthroughs in 2012.
"Our preclinical data supports this novel approach for the treatment of cervical HPV infection," Dr. Banerjee said. "The next step is to bring what we have accomplished in the lab to the patient."
The BLICaR team hopes to accomplish this within a year, said Dr. Castellanos of SIUH. He presented their innovative treatment at the prestigious 28th International Papillomavirus Conference and Scientific Meeting in November 2012 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
From Lab to Patient
Curcumin-based vaginal cream may not be successful in treating HPV-induced cervical cancers, which have already spread to the uterus and ovaries. However, the team's preclinical research has also led to a natural formulation that can be injected and may offer greater efficacy for more advanced tumors. According to Banerjee, the team's laboratory experiments have shown a dramatic response in advanced stage cancers. Currently, the team is examining such innovative methods and novel formulations to effectively treat patients with HPV infections and all stages of cervical cancer.
Dr. Castellanos is in the forefront of this promising therapy in the clinical setting at Staten Island University Hospital. "So that we can begin a phase-one clinical trial, we need approval from the FDA," Dr. Castellanos said. "The largest hurdle we are facing right now is the funding that is needed to get there."
"The College of Staten Island is committed to community-based collaborative research projects that bring leading experts in their fields together to solve some of today's most challenging issues with innovative approaches to finding solutions, commented Dr. William J. Fritz, interim president of CSI. "Together with SIUH, we are proud to be at the forefront of this promising curative and preventative approach."
"Staten Island University Hospital has a long and proud history of innovation in healthcare, and now, as part of the North Shore – LIJ Health System with its pre-eminent Feinstein Cancer Institute and our partnership with CSI researchers, we have the potential to achieve even more," said Anthony C. Ferreri, SIUH president and CEO.
Local Research, Global Impact
Despite advances and preventative measures, such as PAP tests and vaccines, many women are continuing to develop cervical cancer worldwide.
--About 12, 000 women in the United States develop cervical cancer each year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
--In the U.S., most women are routinely examined for signs of HPV and, if needed, are treated prior to the development of cancer.
--In other countries, PAP smears are not common. This leads to a higher incidence of cervical cancer.
--Every year, more than 270,000 women die from cervical cancer, with more than 85 percent of these deaths in low and middle income countries, according to the World Health Organization.
As research continues on Staten Island, the BLICaR group focuses on the capability of natural food components to target and kill tumor cells without the damage to surrounding tissue associated with today's treatments. Women in the U.S. and globally hopefully will soon see the day when HPV and cervical cancers are much less a threat.

Before I had the Southern Girl Gang, I had the JUGs. No, not jugs – the JUGs. Just Us Girls.
Who are these girls? They are some of the most wonderful women on the planet and right now they are making me laugh out loud because they are burning up Facebook with comments and plans for this weekend.
We will be getting together again with the girls we grew up with. Some of us have been friends since before first grade while others have only really connected within the last few years. Thank you Facebook and your amazing superpowers.
The last time we were together was this past Summer. We floated in the lake all day, cooked at night, played board games and picked our teams by who had a uterus and who didn't, and drank a little. Okay, a lot.
And we called boys. Boys we went to junior high and high school with. Let me ask you something. What would you do if your phone rang in the middle of the night and it was a group of
drunk giggling 45 year old women asking if your husband was home? Actually, we spoke to his daughter. She said he was sleeping and couldn't wake him up. I think she said he had to get up early for something (work maybe?) but said she would leave a note telling him some girls from school called. Can you just imagine the look on his face when he saw that? We (I say we – it was really only one of the girls who did all the calling but none of us stopped her) also called a few others boys but they were single so that was totally okay, right?
I have to say if you asked me graduation night in May 1983 if we would still be hanging out together 28 years later, in my heart I would have hoped so but didn't think it was realistic.
Sometimes it's good to be wrong.
Toodles y'all!

A recent report on smoke alarms on NBC's "Dateline" has triggered further debate about which type of alarm works best: photoelectric or ionization. If you're familiar with Consumer Reports' smoke alarm tests, you know that the answer is ... neither. We recommend both technologies to ensure maximum protection from fire. (Click here to go to Consumer Reports' smoke alarm tests.)
Here's why.
Our tests of a dozen smoke alarms from BRK Electronics, First Alert and Kidde found clear strengths among the two technologies. Smoke alarms that use ionization technology were great at detecting a fast, flaming fire such as burning paper, but poor at detecting a smoldering fire, as in a couch or mattress. The opposite was true of photoelectric smoke alarms. That's why you need both types of alarm in your home. Or consider a dual sensor model, which embeds the two technologies in a single alarm.
[Related from Yahoo! Homes: Space heaters cause 19,000 house fires a year]
There should be at least one set on each level of your home, including the basement and attic. Be sure to place a detector in every bedroom and outside each sleeping area. Interconnected models, called out in our smoke alarm tests, will all sound simultaneously when any one is triggered. That way you'll be warned of a fire in the basement when you're asleep upstairs. To avoid false alarms, don't mount ionization or dual smoke alarms in the kitchen, where burnt toast might set them off, or near sources of steam such as a bathroom, laundry room or sauna.
Watch this 60-second video for more advice on choosing and using smoke alarms. And don't forget about adding a carbon monoxide alarm, especially important as more and more people use generators during storm events. For more tips, read our CO and smoke alarm buying guide. And you can find the "Dateline" smoke-alarm report on NBC News' website (the report begins about 1 minute and 54 seconds into the video).

I've installed a new acrylic whirlpool tub with all new plumbing. Everything works great except I have a have a problem with a leaking drain where it connects through the tub. It's only a small drip but I can't seem to stop it. I've taken the drain out, replaced the putty taped the threads and reinstalled it, but still have the drip. The leak is toward the front of the tub. What am I doing wrong? And what can I do? Would a thicker rubber washer help?

What you are looking at is the remainder of Brian Duffy's (1933 - 2010) impressive works. One morning in 1979 Duffy, then one of the most famous fashion photographers in the world, decides to give up photography and starts burning many of his negatives. Why? In the BBC documentary The Man Who Shot The Sixties he says he feels photographers Irving Penn and Richard Avedon "fucked photography for us". He explains: "You're a bit annoyed when someone does something and you go, 'Shit! I was just about to do that!'" According to Duffy photography was dead by 1972. "Every picture after 72, I have seen pre-72. Nothing new." Luckily Duffy was stopped before he burnt all of it and thanks to that we now have this beautiful publication featuring over 160 iconic images from the 50's, 60's and 70's, including iconic shots of the likes of Michael Caine, Brigitte Bardot, Sidney Poitier, John Lennon, David Bowie to name just a few. We can't help wonder what this book would have looked like if only...

With the ever-growing epidemic of childhood obesity, schools are looking for new ways to get children active and healthy.
On April 25-26, 250 educators from 12 states were at the Arvada Center for the inaugural Excellence in Schools Summit hosted by the Active Schools Association Program, Red Hawk Elementary School in Erie and St. Vrain School District.
"There's an increase in childhood obesity and a decline in traditional PE and recess in many schools," said Director of ASAP Nate Whitman. "We want to reverse that trend."
ASAP hosted an Innovation Competition for schools to see what they were doing to get students active, and more than 500 different teams entered their plans, including Red Hawk Elementary, which was announced as a national winner.
Red Hawk incorporates 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity throughout the day before students' hardest subjects in addition to recess and PE classes.
Activities include following small workout videos in the classroom and doing the "Red Hawk Walk," which is walking nine laps around the school to total one mile.
"Kids that are fit move more, do better in school, are more ready to learn, are more awake and alert, have a better attention span and have fewer disciplinary problems," Whitman said.
In addition to daily physical activity, every Friday is "All School Movement," where all grades, teachers, staff and even parents come together for physical activity, such as dancing to popular songs.
"It's probably the best thing ever," said Kayan Hartrave, a third-grader at Red Hawk. "You get moving and get motivated. It's very fun and it helps me focus."
Red Hawk students were at the Summit to demonstrate some of the exercises they do, and they even got attendees in on the fun.
ASAP and its parent nonprofit, ChildObesity180, has partnered with First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! Active Schools initiative to hopefully obtain the goal of having 50,000 schools across the nation in the next five years have some sort of health and wellness program in place outside of PE and recess, Whitman said.
The Summit and Red Hawk demonstration left an influence on many of the educators present, which included teachers and principals from the metro area, across the state and attendees from other states.
"Red Hawk is a dream school with what they're doing," said Kay Calhoun, an elementary school PE teacher from Illinois who attended the conference. "The goal is to use fitness programs similar to this and get the message throughout the metro area."
Each school is different though, Whitman said, and each school will have to figure out what fitness program works best for them.
"The model that works at Red Hawk might not be right for Harlem, but even if it's just three to five minute increments of exercise, it will make a difference," Whitman said. "Elementary children need about an hour of physical activity every day. It might be difficult to set aside an hour for it, but you can do smaller increments."

The Emergency Meal Kit Will Come To Your Rescue!
To help keep your weight loss efforts on track, consider creating an Emergency Meal Kit. Having a healthy meal or snack on hand -- whether traveling, at the office, or even at home -- can keep you on track when junk food or excessive hunger might otherwise derail your efforts.
Here are some suggestions for a kit that can be stored in your desk or car:
Water: Keeping water within reach wherever you go Drinking water will keep you hydrated, your stomach feeling full and flushes fats out of your system as well as increasing your metabolism. Instead of soft drinks or powdered drink mixes that are loaded with chemicals and sugar, I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder. Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored and break the routine even more by adding a little unsweetened cranberry juice. Click here to order stevia powder.
Protein Bars: To be used only in emergencies, and be careful to read the labels. Many "nutritional" bars are nothing more than candy bars in deceptive packaging. Even the best tend to be calorie-dense; stay away from the ones with high sugar or fat content.
Dehydrated Vegetables: They keep for a long time, they're tasty, and they're high in fiber so they fill you up. This is a better option than dried fruits that have a lot sugar.
Nuts: Make sure they're raw or dry-roasted, unsalted, and without added sugar. Eating just a small amount, the protein will help sustain you until your next meal.
Fresh Fruit, Vegetables, Low-Fat Yogurt, and Other Perishables: Store them in a thermal lunch bag when a refrigerator is not available.
The first step to staying on track with weight loss is planning. Stock up, assemble a few foods into an Emergency Meal Kit, and you'll be ready anytime an emergency meal is needed.
Thank all
of you for your patronage. Have an excellent day.
Note: It is the top of the berry season right now in the Northwest... Blueberries, Blackberries, Marion berries. My sisters were in town (Portland) last weekend and my sister Cheryl insisted on going berry picking. I reluctantly joined them and we came back with about 6 lbs. of the most amazing Blackberries and Blueberries I have ever tasted. There is nothing like fresh berries picked off the vine. My sister proceeded to make SUGAR FREE Blueberry and Blackberry Jam... which was nothing short of extraordinary. I will be posting the recipes next issue.
I had quite a few berries left over so I decided to take a stab at a recipe sent to me by Barbara Phillips. This is an easy to make and amazingly tasty low carb, low sugar Fruit Cobbler. I used Blueberries but I am sure you can use any seasonal fruit. Thanks for the great recipe Barbara!
Note from Barbara: "The original recipe came from Southern Cuisine using sugar, 1/3 cup in the batter and 1/2 cup in the fruit. We are working at eliminating sugar and the Steviva Brand Stevia Powder and Steviva Brand Stevia Blend work wonderful in place of the sugar." " I have been using this method all summer and we love our sugar free cobblers."

Centinela Valley area residents are invited to attend free concerts on Sundays during the month of June in Grevillea Art Park, across Manchester Blvd. from City Hall and adjacent to Inglewood High School. The concerts on June 7, 14, 21 and 28 will begin at 3:00 pm and continue through 5:00 pm.
June 7 - Estaire Godinez and her Brazilian jazz guitar, followed at 4 p.m. by Ms. Liza G. Fly, a Country songwriter and vocalist.
June 14 -Delian Music Student Ensemble and Charles (Chazzy) Green, a teacher and well known and very entertaining local jazz saxophonist.
Fathers' Day (June 21) – R&B artist Jimmy Roland followed by the funky beats of Ms. Fae DC and Friends.
June 28 - Dennis DeLoach (known locally as dePoet for his spoken word/vocal talent) and to conclude the program – Jazz Impressions – a quartet of El Camino College's best jazz students.
Concertgoers are encouraged to bring their own blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets to enjoy Sunday afternoon in the park. For those who rather have someone else prepare their food, vendors will be in the park with food and soft drinks.
If you've not yet visited the newly restored "History of Transportation" mural, the concerts are a great way to combine history, culture and fun. Rededicated in August 2007, the 60-panel mural, which is nearly the length of a football field, was designed by artist Helen Lundeberg for the U.S. government's Federal Arts Project under the WPA (Works Project Administration) and installed in what was then Centinela Park in 1940.
Nearly obliterated by graffiti and tagging, the mural was boarded up and finally removed for restoration before being reassembled in the new art park. Restoration took four years and more than one million dollars. Spearheaded by the citizen's Historic Site Preservation Committee and the City's Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Service, restoration of the mural was funded primariliy by grants.
The rare petrachrome (tiny stone mosaic) mural is the largest of its kind in the world The Los Angeles Conservancy selected the Inglewood Mural as one of the projects to be presented with an award for outstanding achievement in the field of historic preservation.
The Sunday spring concerts are a great opportunity to enjoy viewing the world famous artwork and listen to some great music. Just show up any Sunday in June at 3:00 pm or for additional information, call Pam Renowden at 310.412.8750.

George Strait reveals final leg of farewell trek
Country superstar George Strait has released the itinerary for what he says will be the last tour dates of his career, putting an end to the 15-month "The Cowboy Rides Away" farewell tour next May.
The King of Country spent the first half of 2013 trekking across the U.S. on the first leg of the final outing, and he will return to the road early next year for the final leg. Strait will begin Jan. 9 in Bossier City, LA, and visit 26 major markets from coast to coast before wrapping up in late May in Dallas. That specific date will be announced soon.
Strait, who announced his retirement last September, will feature a variety of opening acts for the last leg of the tour. These include Martina McBride, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Ronnie Dunn, Vince Gill, Miranda Lambert, Merle Haggard and Lee Ann Womack. Tickets for the final outing go on sale to the general public beginning Sept. 27.
"The first leg of the tour earlier this year was very fun, but also very emotional," Strait said in a press release. "Every city and venue holds such great memories. I'm really looking forward to seeing our fans out on the road in 2014."
Strait most recently unveiled "Here for a Good Time," his 39th studio album, in Sept. 2011. The effort, which was recorded at Shrimpboat Sound Studio in Key West, FL, peaked at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and at the top of the magazine's Country Albums chart.
The Grammy winner has sold more than 68 million albums since his 1981 studio debut, "Straight Country" and holds the record for most No. 1 hit singles in any genre with 59 singles.
