Under-relaxation is used in MpCCI to stabilize the coupled simulations. Both quantities — the relative wall force and the displacements of the coordinates — are under-relaxed with a value of 0.8. The under-relaxed displacement is then added to the old coordinates to get the new position of the nodes. Additionally, in Abaqus/Explicit, the applied load is ramped linearly over the time step.
To get a better understanding of the structural problem, a solid model consisting of C3D8 hexahedron elements was also built and simulated using Abaqus/Explicit (see Figure 4).
Simulation Results
The simulation results showed the necessity of a coupled simulation for this application. The simulation, including the fluid-structure interaction at the elastic wall, agrees significantly better with the experimental findings than the standalone CFD simulation.
For an easy comparison of simulation results and experimental data during the simulation, the pressure at three discrete points of the pump is monitored: one point located in the center of the upper chamber, one in the lower chamber, and the last point in the center of the compensation chamber. The pressure at these points is monitored during the simulations and can be compared for different pump parameters or simulation variations.
The pressure contours of the fluid on the moving geometry can also be visualized to get a general idea of the working pump and the quality of the simulation, but the slight differences between the standalone CFD solution and the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) solution cannot be perceived visually on these contour plots. The big negative pressure peaks that were observed for all simulations (CFD standalone and FSI) are probably due to cavitation occurring at the small passages between the different chambers. The oil reaches high velocities when flowing from a cylinder chamber to the compensation chamber. Highvelocity narrow passages and high pressure both point towards cavitation.
The negative pressure peaks are much less pronounced in the FSI solution. Furthermore, the pressure in the compensation chamber shows a different behavior in the two cases. The values during the "high-pressure phase" are higher for the FSI solution. Also, a qualitative difference can be observed when investigating how the pressure rises or falls in the compensation chamber.
The FSI simulations showed a very good agreement with the experiments that were conducted. The CFD model on its own is not capable of catching the pressure behavior — especially in the compensation chamber — in a satisfactory way. The elastic behavior of the wall cannot be integrated into a CFD model without coupling with a structural mechanics solver like Abaqus/Explicit.
Summary and Outlook
The FSI simulation for the simplified symmetric PWK pump model with two chambers produced results that coincide with experimental data in a very satisfactory way. Several configurations and settings for the simple pump model can now be checked with the help of numerical fluid-structure interaction simulation with the aim of finding an optimal configuration.
Simultaneously, the full model of the pump should be investigated with a FSI simulation. This model is quite complex — for seven chambers, the motion of the pistons and the motion of the bridges has to be defined — and therefore will only be simulated for relevant cases that were identified using the symmetric half models. Furthermore, the cavitation that supposedly occurs could be integrated into the CFD model in the future. This might reduce the negative pressure peaks further and lead to a more physical behavior of the fluid.
Another interesting aspect of the pump development is the leakage of hydraulic oil through small gaps. To capture such a phenomenon in a CFD simulation is a challenging task, but would clearly lead to more realistic simulations.

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez's attorneys, who filed a lawsuit Thursday against Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig, returned Saturday with more allegations, terming Selig's efforts to suspend Rodriguez a "crusade" and a "shameful endeavor.
"Commissioner Selig's and MLB's inexplicable personal animus toward Alex Rodriguez has brought them down to the level of protecting and relying primarily upon a witness under federal investigation for dealing performance enhancing drugs to minors,'' attorney Joe Tacopina said in a statement. "Every player in the league, every fan who spends money on MLB tickets and gear, and every team whose money is being spent on this witch hunt should be asking Selig to explain and justify his actions.''
Tacopina is referring to Tony Bosch, the former director of Biogenesis, who testified on behalf of MLB this week discussing his relationship with Rodriguez involving performance enhancing drugs. Bosch is being investigated by Florida authorities for providing performance-enhancing drugs to minors.
THE SUIT: A-Rod sues MLB
Tacopina is alleging that MLB paid Bosch $5 million for his testimony, while MLB's investigators performed gross misconduct in their investigation of Rodriguez.
"Every last allegation made in our suit pertaining to MLB's and Commissioner Selig's misconduct is supported by audio or video tapes, photographs, documents, witness affidavits, or otherwise indisputable evidence,'' Tacopina said. "And on the law, if this shameful endeavor by Commissioner Selig does not constitute tortious interference, then it must be that no one ever can count on obtaining relief from that tort, no matter how egregious the facts. Fortunately, that is not the state of the law in New York.
"We look forward to the opportunity to continue to press our defense against Selig's crusade to banish Alex later this month, and to pressing forward in our damages suit against he and his lieutenants."
Rodriguez's suit against Major League Baseball accuses the league of engaging in "tortious interference" in an effort to force him out of the game.
Rodriguez's lawyers claim that MLB is trying to make an example of Rodriguez "so as to gloss over Commissioner Selig's past inaction and tacit approval of the use of performance enhancing substances in baseball (not to mention his multiple acts of collusion), and in an attempt to secure his legacy as the 'savior' of America's pastime."
"This lawsuit is a clear violation of the confidentiality provisions of our drug program, and it is nothing more than a desperate attempt to circumvent the Collective Bargaining Agreement,'' MLB said in a statement.
"While we vehemently deny the allegations in the complaint, none of those allegations is relevant to the real issue: whether Mr. Rodriguez violated the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program by using and possessing numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years and whether he violated the Basic Agreement by attempting to cover-up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation."
Rodriguez and MLB completed their first week of testimony in the slugger's appeal of a 211-game suspension levied in August. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz is not expected to rule until at least next month, and the suit may impact whether the matter is set aside within the parameters of baseball's Joint Drug Agreement.

I have one question tho,the game seems amazing and worth giving a shot,but do you have any info on how the payment for it will be? free-2-play /sub/ buy once play forever? read a couple of articles and some sayd f2p and some sayd sub so i am really curious about that fact.

Anyway, TES should not be about PvP, another useless feature which drains Zenimax resources

Cool, you've seen it? Any chance I could get a link to view it as well?
I just hope that they have the good sense to add a lengthy time before you can log into a different realm.
Dark Age of Camelot was watered down to 6 minutes between realm changes. That's a split second on a warmap - or frustrating when you see a guild log their mids and then login their hibs (XREALMERS, etc).
Us vs Them vs Them = realm loyalty, and the closest thing we will ever get to any kind of RP experience since few folks RP these days - or if they do it's just plain sillyness (i.e., Moonguard Alliance in WoW).
I recall the good old daoc days when folks would really mean it when they said, "damned Albs!!!" But as it is today, it's more like, "sigh, I'll just log in my alb and join the BG..."
Sounds like the fantasy version of TSW to me. Which is ok in theory, considering that I enjoyed TSW's gameplay. However.
Give me one instance where an ES game hasn't been released with an unbearable amount of bugs (alot of which eventually had to be fixed by the mod community). The size and scope of their singleplayer rpg experience, being the only real reason for their continued success (and noticable lack of real competition in the same epic sized rpg arena). And let's not forget that just the presence of the mod tools being included with the games is responsable for a massive part of the games' popularity, and the longevity of the series.
I see this game being a huge financial success via preorders and launch day sales, and then falling flat on its face in a month due to game breaking bugs and exploits. Bethesda will have to fix all the bugs themselves, with no mod community to help this time, and honestly, I just don't have the faith in them to be able to do it.
All of that being said, I would really love to be wrong, and see this game succeed.
The technology exists to have skyrims combat system work in mmorpg enviroment, so why didn't they try? To take Mortal online as an example, they have similar combat (but not as good, witch is understandable considering they had 20 memebrs, it was their first game and they had limited budget, so then a experienced team like bethesda should be able to make a game with combat like skyrim in mmorpg enviroment.
Tab-targeteing or even a "more involved" system like in guild wars 2 feels so 90's, the developers need to INOVATE, not ride the sucses off WOW.
"phasing", "replay the 1-50 game three times", "leveling through the theme-park".
Wow... too many words I didn't want to read. Call me skeptic but nothing changes my mind this game is going backwards in the MMO genre and is going to blow. I hope I'm wrong.

Hey Dude,
No word yet. They're "exploring their options". Wait and see.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

This seems to be contradicted by what you said later about not being able to swing when you are not targetting someone.
Sounds like a soft-targeting mechanic.
PS: If you walk into town, do you -see- the quests?
i,e, do you have quest-markers over peoples heads, or can you interact and talk with everyone, and only some will have quests for you?
Because if you get ushered from npc to npc and find quests on the ground glowing, then thats incredibly un-TES like.
Your article presents information like the "Each alliance has its own 1-50 leveling experience." as a fact, and you embellish it with "completely different", even though that information isn't confirmed. This is bad writing, and bad journalism. It creates completely false expectations.
There is a difference between
"Each alliance has its own 1-50 leveling experience" and
"you'll be able to replay the 1-50 game three times in three completely different ways"
thats latter is your own conjecture.
Rein in your enthusiasm.
1.) TERA - Yes, it's like that. Currently, remnants of the E3 build keep you from swinging a melee unless you're aiming reticle is over the enemy. This is changing.
2.) Yes, I'm afraid you see them on your map, and NPCs that have anything to do with a quest have a glowing outline. I can concede that this is un-TES. But not a dealbreaker (for me).
3.) It IS confirmed, by the devs own words. I could add "If you really want to believe the developers", but it seemed unnecessary and kind of cynical. If what they said to us last Wednesday turns out not to be true, then we can get pissed.
As for reining in my enthusiasm. Sorry, it's not my style and I apologize if you don't enjoy it.
Enjoyment is my least concern if it comes to accurate information and their presentation.
It sounds promising and the social aspect of rounding up people based on preferences is a bit of a break through. The phasing, if it works sounds very interesting to.
My concerns from a personal perspective is the immersion. I like/love GW2 because I know what type of game its trying to be and I accept that. ESO from my perspective should be a deep RPG / old school game type feel. So I will be expecting more from the crafting, housing, exploration etc. If its another theme park type of ride, then I won't bother personally.
I do hope this does well . The problem is its coming into a market full of free to play games and buy to play games like Guild Wars 2 . Inevitably there will be more of these .
Also the genre continues to be dominated by WoW which has many fans that believe any game other than those created by Blizzard must be trolled mercilessly . I've not seen one single game since the release of WoW get a fair shot in forums anywhere on the net . Everythings called a WoW clone even Guild Wars 2 which has a totally different game mechanic and bairs no resemblance to WoW other than it is in a fantasy setting .
This does look good though . I've just got a years sub to Rift and and also enjoying GW2 so by the time I've run out of things to do in them this should be out . Look forward to it .
Re-activating a years old account to post this:
I am failing to see what is new about this game. It takes zero steps forward and takes many steps backwards. The fact that there are classes, linear questing, and no player housing shows that these developers have no clue what people liked about this franchise. I wish I could place bets on this game failing because I am 100% certain it is going to fail harder than SWTOR.
I have been aware of this game for a while now, but hadn't done much research on it. This preview changed that. After reading this preview, I had to spend the next hour researching this game because I had to confirm my impression that this game is going to be a complete failure. Unfortunately this further research only cemented my view of this game, and now I am very sad. I'm sad not only at the inevitable failure of this game, but also at what that means for the future of this franchise. It seems like there is so much potential for this franchise to make the transition to online play, but I predict that this game will fail so badly that nobody will dare attempt it again.
I understand there is hope for things to be fixed after the game launches but in this case, with so many of the round pegs crammed in to square holes, I don't think its realistic to expect that patches will fix it. The game is being built on a foundation of linear questing, classes, and no player housing. These kinds of things cannot be fixed with patches. Even if player housing is added post-launch, I predict it will be a token gesture at best. Player housing is a major corner stone of Elder Scrolls game play, meaning that the game needed to be built around it from the very beginning. Some junky instanced iteration of player housing tacked on in 2014 is not an acceptable iteration of a cornerstone of the franchise.
I'm so horribly disappointed. This is such a huge bummer, because I had hopes for an Elder Scrolls online for years before this title was even announced.
I understand why they have locked races to your faction, but I still wish it weren't so. From a design decision I would think it would make designing unique starting areas easier, and I suspect this is their reason. I also suspect that we will still see the inclusion of other races in these areas and within these factions, but just as NPC's.
Hey listen, I know this site is known for its sandbox fanbois and hating on anything that seems popular but can we please cut the crap with the hate before it turns others off. Contrary to what you might believe, the written word has alot of power both for good and for bad and there are alot of players who may come across as jaded, uninformed, and outright anti-"whatever hate your spewing", when at one time they were either on the fence or had no knowledge of the game. Not to mention this hate has the power to convey wrong messages and creates animosity amongst the readers.
Please if you dont like it, say your peace and move on, some of us actually liek the game and for every negative thread I see I have this uncanny knack to prve you wrong and that also isnt healthy. Let the fans decide how this game comes across. No one likes a critic!

Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
I like the exciting beginning,this is what all games shoudl have.
However after that ,EVERYTHING sounds like a single player game not a RPG.
it sounds like you are to follow linear quests and if you want to replay you follow a different set of linear quests.
This type of gaming weather it has phasing or in REAL terms triggered quests,makes no difference,you are still playing a lienar questing game.We have had hundreds of these,imo far too many,someone needs to do a bit a thinking with NEW creativity.
I am quite sure i am not the only one who understands what developers can bring us in terms of creative gaming,i am simply waiting to see it.
By no means am i giving up on this game,i will wait and give it a chance,but the design already sounds a lot like game design 101,nothing new here.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

The Brutally Honest Personality Test
Their result for The Brutally Honest Personality Test ...
Talked to another human being lately? I'm serious. You value knowledge above ALL else. You love new ideas, and become very excited over abstractions and theories. The fact that nobody else cares still hasn't become apparent to you...
Nerd's a great word to describe you, and I seriously couldn't care less about the different definitions of the word and why you're actually more of a geek than a nerd. Don't pretend you weren't thinking that. You want every single miniscule fact and theory to be presented correctly.
Critical? Sarcastic? Cynical? Pessimistic? Just a few words to describe you when you're at your very best. Picking up the dudes or dudettes isn't something you find easy, but don't worry too much about it. You can blame it on your personality type now.
On top of all this, you're shy. Nice one, wench. No wonder you're on okcupid. Now, quickly go and delete everything about "theoretical questions" from your profile page. As long as nobody tries to start a conversation with you, just MAYBE you'll now have a chance of picking up a date. But don't get your hopes up.
I am interested though. If a tree fell over in a forest and there was no one there to hear it, would it really make a sound?

This set of three videos illustrates how math is used in satellite data analysis. NASA climate scientist Claire Parkinson explains how the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice covers are measured from satellite data and how math is used to determine trends... (View More) in the data. In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly Arctic and Antarctic average sea ice extents for November 1978-December 2012. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets. Note: See Related & Supplemental Resources for the maps and data files (1978-2015) that will allow you to do the calculations shown in the video. These also include data for different regions of the Arctic and Antarctic, enabling learners to do additional calculations beyond those shown in the videos. (View Less)

Light Covers
Light Covers Can Save Your Expensive Lenses
The next time you are hand-washing your vehicular pride and joy (you DO hand-wash your car or truck, don't you?), take a really good look at the front end. We mean a really good look. Even if your ride is new, it only takes a matter of weeks before daily driving starts to take its toll. And the older your car is, the more you will see it: the effects of sand and other fine yet abrasive particles which have been thrown against the front. It's one thing for the paint to become pitted (and you should consider a car bra for protection). Of greater concern is the damage being done to your headlamps. Not only will the abrasive blast start to dull and pit the lenses, reducing light output - a pebble or small rock flung from a truck tire tread will crack that headlamp assembly and result in a multi-hundred dollar repair bill when all is said and done. Do you live in a winter climate where salt and sand are purposely spread on the road? Figure on twice the damage in half the time.

Photo by Lawrence Jackson, PD. Tonight President Obama will deliver the first State of the Union Address of his second term. As we learned from former presidential speechwriters, under the modern presidency, the objectives of the SOTU are to set the president up for what he is trying to achieve that year, to get a bounce in public approval, to inoculate the public when introducing controversial policies and to generate support for those policies within Congress. Yet, because the SOTU attempts to do so much, it rarely makes history, serving instead as a laundry list with few memorable moments or lines. Thus, the SOTU tends to contribute to the idea that presidents are remembered more for what they do than what they say. Still, the SOTU is valuable since it lays out a president's objectives and provides a basis by which we might measure his accomplishments. We combed through our archives and offer in this post what we think are the the memorable SOTU addresses in the modern presidency. In his SOTU address delivered on January 6, 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, sought to prepare the American public for involvement in World War II. The "Four Freedoms Speech" speech promised to expand freedoms beyond those guaranteed by the Constitution. Most memorable lines: In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world. In his first SOTU delivered on January 8, 1964, Lyndon Johnson declared an "unconditional war on poverty" and laid out the case for an ambitious package of domestic policies that would become part of the "Great Society." Most memorable lines: This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America. I urge this Congress and all Americans to join with me in that effort. It will not be a short or easy struggle, no single weapon or strategy will suffice, but we shall not rest until that war is won. The richest nation on earth can afford to win it. We cannot afford to lose it… Poverty is a national problem, requiring improved national organization and support. But this attack, to be effective, must also be organized at the state and the local level and must be supported and directed by state and local efforts. For the war against poverty will not be won here in Washington. It must be won in the field, in every private home, in every public office, from the courthouse to the White House. On January 30, 1961, John F. Kennedy delivered his first SOTU and discussed his many goals for the next four years, including economic growth in the United States and attentiveness to the rising Communist movements in China and Latin America. While Kennedy described the state of the world as one fraught with danger and uncertainty, he expressed great confidence in the commitment of American government, the still-young United Nations, and the notion of American freedom, which he believed would serve as an inspiration during the Cold War. Most memorable lines: For only with complete dedication by us all to the national interest can we bring our country through the troubled years that lie ahead. Our problems are critical. The tide is unfavorable. The news will be worse before it is better. And while hoping and working for the best, we should prepare ourselves now for the worst. We cannot escape our dangers--neither must we let them drive us into panic or narrow isolation. In many areas of the world where the balance of power already rests with our adversaries, the forces of freedom are sharply divided. In his SOTU delivered on January 26, 1982, Ronald Reagan called for a "New Federalism," advocating less federal spending and more state initiative to solve social and economic problems. The speech is noteworthy as a statement of philosophy of governance, countering decades of government expansion from the New Deal and Great Society. Most memorable lines: The record is clear, and I believe that history will remember this as an era of American renewal, remember this administration as an administration of change, and remember this Congress as a Congress of destiny… Together, we not only cut the increase in government spending nearly in half, we brought about the largest tax reductions and the most sweeping changes in our tax structure since the beginning of this century… Together, after 50 years of taking power away from the hands of the people in their States and local communities, we have started returning power and resources to them… Together, we have cut the growth of new Federal regulations nearly in half. Together, we have created an effective Federal strike force to combat waste and fraud in government… Together we've begun to mobilize the private sector, not to duplicate wasteful and discredited government programs, but to bring thousands of Americans into a volunteer effort to help solve many of America's social problems. Together we've begun to restore that margin of military safety that ensures peace… Together we have made a New Beginning, but we have only begun. After failing to achieve major healthcare reform, President Bill Clinton famously declared in his January 23, 1996 SOTU that the "era of big government is over." The speech also sought to lay out the themes of his reelection campaign that year, which would focus on education, gun restrictions, welfare reform, and the environment. Most memorable lines: We know big government does not have all the answers. We know there's not a program for every problem. We know, and we have worked to give the American people a smaller, less bureaucratic government in Washington. And we have to give the American people one that lives within its means. The era of big government is over. But we cannot go back to the time when our citizens were left to fend for themselves. In his first SOTU address following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, President George W. Bush sought to define the parameters of the War on Terror and proliferation, and began to lay out the case for deposing the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. In an evocative phrase, Bush famously sought to tie together the regimes in Iraq, Iran and North Korea as an "axis of evil," describing them as repressing freedom within their own societies, helping terrorism and seeking weapons of mass destruction. Most memorable lines: States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.

You can almost see my office from those pictures in Augusta, well, ALMOST. I'm acutally on the front side, south wing. You need to come back and reshoot. The scaffolding is all gone now that all the repointing has been done. The whole complex has undergone a nearly 100% restoration since 1999. By '04 both buildings were back up to 100% capacity and each "wing" of the State House exterior was cleaned and repointed. The "skylight" behind your bike looks down in the $4M "connector" that houses 4 Klir Beck wildlife dioramas that used to reside in the State House before reconstruction. I'll bring my camera back after lunch and see if I can get a shot or two to post.

Hell yeah.
Really not surprise about the revelation about the Toki's pops.
Seriously not surprised Heike helped them out with their communication. Super Saiyan Yuuki is back.
Apple, from the tree of good and evil, of course.
Fanservice... is it me, or was there much less at the beginning of this manga ?
So Rare-kinds are really a different species, perhaps even aliens, seeing as there is a power-user that can control life.
Wait one damn minute. When did Sakura find out that Shibuya was her dad? Did I skip a chapter or something? And I kind of figured Sakura would be the key to open pandora's box completely.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Anyway, why is Sakura a Rare kind, when she is a half Rare kind like Ogami ? Or is it that Rare Kind's blood overpowers every other Power beside the Hell Lineage ?
Poor Daddy Minister , "nothing can survive within the nullification energy...", right, probably beside the one that could overpower it easily .
Then again it might be that Chibigami's - hybrid arm - have ended up in the Pandora's Box and ended up absorbing/infusing with some energy in there, thus creating a new being ? I guess it would be probably called the Void King, or something like that.

And then Orochimaru pops out of nowhere, like always XD
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I like this chapter, and I know we need breaks in the action sometimes... but why now, and not after the Kabuto fight has had a chance to mature? Kishi must really want us to sympathize with Kabuto before we see things really heat up, but I've been bored ever since the Tobi fight. After the teasers with the Kages fighting Edo Madara (which, let's face it, isn't really much of a fight) and all the downtime filled with Sasuke/Itachi dialogue, I figured we were ready to get back into some real action... and just as things are about to start getting good in the Kabuto vs. Uchiha Bros fight, we get two weeks of detailed flashbacks from Kabuto's childhood.
After all this, Kabuto had better put up a damn good fight. This fight has been all about Kabuto and Itachi, and the whole damn point was to finally get back to SASUKE. Notice how we don't even make the weekly "Wonder when Sasuke will show his new EMS technique" posts anymore... Sasuke has been forgotten already.
Actually "The Maiden" might have a special jutsu that allows her to erase herself (mental memories) that's why she is such a good spy and why she didnt know Kabuto. This would explain why she has a moniker and why Danzou said she was the only one.
It's still possible Danzou used his eye on her to get her to agree earlier though.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I'm sorry, english isn't my native language, but the walking maiden means something like a woman that has been always single?
Orochimaru left the Village after Sandaime Found him experimenting on children, I assume that aptain Yamato was one of those kids, but here he is in root and as a Leaf Ninja, when Kabuto who is younger than Yamato, is a child. Either Kabuto is okder than I assume or the timeline is off somehow. All this must have happened just before the Uchiha massacre, since Danzou got Shisui's eye before it happened and before Shisui's death.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
so far the only thing nice about kabuto's flashback is that he sort of part of konoha at frist.
I love how kishi has depicted konoha in the series, A superpower that slowly ppl from within try and break it down like so many empires in the real world. Romans, british, anceint greece etc..
Otrher than cant believe how boring these chapters are, other than orocihmaru/danzo theres nothing to link kabuto's past with other big leaf rebels like tobi and madara. hes too young I guess for the eras to be related but it would have been nice. These feel like filler right now.
- We want to see Sasuke with full anger and hatred vs. Naruto, Rookie 9.. that's his moment for showing us his true EMS powers.
Itachi Uchiha, a spy just like Kabuto.. has to finish him out of the picture, not Sasuke. I know that you want Sasuke to be the one, but Itachi got rid off Orochimaru, so Kabuto has to be dealed with by his hands, IMO. The question we have to ask ourself is; how far is Sasuke fallen into the darkness? What will happen in these up-coming chapters, what will make him more FURIOUS and going ALL OUT against Naruto and Rookie 9?
We all know, that Sasuke will hurt some of his old friends (rookie 9), but still; even IF Sasuke showed us his EMS right now.. it wouldn't be at the same level of Naruto is right now. I'm starting to believe that Itachi will give him more power, when he has sealed or killed Kabuto.
1. Sasuke isn't even NEAR Naruto's speed right now; that means he has copied Raikage's speed to some degree, for even matching Naruto's speed @ this moment.
2. Sasuke's Susanoo wouldn't last 1 minute, if Naruto fires that big ass Bijuu-dama out of Kyuubi's mouth; that means that Sasuke needs a up-grade for his Susanoo.
3. We all know, that Sasuke is going to be linked with Gedou Mazou; his power for dealing with Naruto - Kyuubi Mode.. but for how long?
So far; we've seen him shoot Ama Shurikens and suround himself with Ama.. his Susanoo has to be the same as what Edo Madara has shown: being a " double faced Susanoo ", why? This way, he would have a close and long range Susanoo.
Sasuke's Susanoo is a long-range with his bow & arrow.. Itachi's susanoo is more close-range with Mirror and T- Sword. imagine him having double faced Susanoo vs. Naruto - Kyuubi Mode. Itachi Uchiha needs to give him something or him going away again in a sad way, will transform Sasuke to another level again.
** Btw guys; I've been spouting this from day one; Naruto and Sasuke will go co-op against Madara eventually, but how freakin AMAZING WOULD this be: we saw that Naruto saved Kakashi / guy and they were inside of Kyuubi's chakra, right? Imagine when Naruto works together with Sasuke and Sasuke is inside of Kyuubi's chakra like Kakashi / guy!! and then Sasuke brings out Susanoo when he's inside of Kyuubi chakra with Susanoo firing his speedass ARROW with Naruto making bijuu-dama! whaaaat... can't wait for seeing that shit! Hope they don't fuck it up, just like that Pain episode 167.. I can never forgot THAT NUMBER
... You're Dead 2 Me Now ...
Anyway, is it just me or do anyone else think snake sage is way to overpowered compared to frog sage
- Naruto in Sage Mode, would still beat the shit out of Kabuto.. and don't forget that Itachi and Sasuke CANT kill him, that's his joker in this fight.
If he had Snake Sage and not being the caster of Edo Tensei, Itachi would've killed him instantly.
... You're Dead 2 Me Now ...

Posted on 11/13/2003 3:09:10 PM PST by blam
Farmers genetically modified corn 4,000 years ago
Researchers have claimed that farmers in the US and Mexico changed corn genes through selective breeding more than 4,000 years ago.
The scientists say the modifications produced the large cobs and fat kernels that make corn one of humanity's most important foods.
In a study that compares the genes of corn cobs recovered in Mexico and the southwestern United States, researchers found that three key genetic variants were systematically enhanced, probably through selective cultivation, over thousands of years.
The technique was not as sophisticated as the methods used for modern genetically modified crops, but experts claim that the effect was the same: genetic traits were amplified or introduced to create plants with improved traits and greater yield.
"Civilisation has been built on genetically modified plants," said Nina Fedoroff of Pennsylvania State University.
The ancestral plant of corn, teosinte, was first domesticated some 6,000 to 9,000 years ago in the Balsas River Valley of southern Mexico, the researchers said in this Science magazine.
At first, teosinte was a grassy-like plant with many stems bearing small cobs with kernels sheathed in hard shells.
By cultivating plants with desirable characteristics, farmers caused teosinte to create an increasingly useful crop. The researchers said by 5,500 years ago the size of the kernels was larger. By 4,400 years ago, all of the gene variants found in modern corn were present in crops grown in Mexico.
The plant and its grain were so changed by the directed cultivation that it evolved into a form that could not grow in the wild and was dependent on farmers to survive from generation to generation, the study found.

Something that you may not have known is that the potato, from South America, introduced into Europe in the 1500's caused a population explosion. There are over 2,000 varities of potatoes, some are resistant to the potato fungus that struck in the 1800's and caused the Irish potato famine.
(The French to destroy the U.S. Wheat Belt?)
naw,.....the U.N. would not allow that......

Anybody remember who was President of the United States 4,000 years ago?
Isn't it amazing that all the worlds hot peppers originated in the Caribbean...Thai and Indian food without hot peppers?
The tomato is also a new world food also...and Marco Polo brought noodles back from China...what did the Italians eat before that?
My mom planted jalapenos and egg plant in the same row, every other plant, the egg plants came out hot...no kidding. (I didn't know that egg plants and peppers were related)
You forgot one.

Marco Polo also brought with him the Chinese cookery to Italy. Dumpling (ravioli) and noodles (spaghetti) are on the list of Chinese cuisine.
Speaking of potato varieties, do you know if there are any lower-carb/higher protein varieties of potato? The standard potato you get in the store (or in your french fries) is a total carb-bomb.
Is there anyone who didn't already know this?
I always find "new discoveries" like this so amusing. A lot of this stuff, we were taught back in grade school over 50 years ago.
That's the problem with schools, they don't teach anything any more. That's why things have to be discovered over again. Stupid!
Just off the top of my head...Brocclli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage and collards all came from a wild cabbage plant in England.
Both my mom and dad came from farming families, each year at harvest time, they would select seeds from the best looking of the harvest and those seeds would be the next years crop.
That's how the ancients did it, each year for hundreds (probably thousands) of years they just kept selecting seeds each year from the most desireable. From year to year, the change was almost undiscernable but, in the long run, changed the corn plant into what we know today.
Again, show me natural cross breeding of animal and plant. Nature has limits, which GE violates, sometimes to the detrement of mankind. 35 died when GE was used to "enhance" bacteria that produced tryptophane several years ago. The result was a brand new chemical structure that killed 35 and injured over a 1,000.

Lots of plants have been "domesticated" in recent times. I can think of the strawberry off the top of my head. It used to be the tiny wild berry that you can still find in fields but has been bred to be much larger and sweeter by man. See Strawberry history.
Ever read Cicero? Noodles were a mediterranian dish even then.
There are many Thai dishes that are not spicy.
Before the chili's became known to the Thai
they used a varity of pepper corns which are spicy too.
They are still used.
My wife's Thai restaurnat uses an awful lot of eggplant.
Should I tell the customers they don't like it? ;-)

A little tight
"This is a very high wedge, but once you put them on, they are extremely comfortable! The nude color is perfect and matches well with the heel- accurate online color. These shoes are so cute and different. For me, it runs slightly narrow in the toe area, I'm undecided on returning them because they are so darn cute!"

classy and colorful
"I got my teal pair a few weeks ago. I bought a half size up because of a couple of the reviews. This was a mistake because the shoes were a little big. Fortunately there are straps so I put in extra holes to accommodate my narrow feet. Anyway these shoes can be worn with different colors which makes them versatile. Both times I've worn them I've had great compliments. The heal is high but the shoes are extremely comfortable. I'm happy I chose this wedge."

Harrisburg school board considered bids by two firms to assist them in locating the best candidate to fill the vacant superintendent's slot during a special board meeting Wednesday.
Former superintendent Dennis Smith resigned effective Jan. 1 citing conflicts with members of the board. The spot has been filled temporarily by Karen Crank and Scott Dewar. Crank is the high school principal and Dewar is the East Side School principal. They are still holding those positions with a bump of $7,500 in salary.
The board heard a presentation from Thomas Leahy, Consultant for Illinois Association of School Boards who offered a $6,500 price for a search that would be completed in three to four months and would deliver six candidates for board approval.
David Elson of Educate, Train and Consult Corporation of Godfry made his presentation quoting a $5,100 price tag.
Both offered to save the board time and labor in making the search that in the past was most often done by the board.
The men assured the board that they would each provide well-researched candidates in a timely manner.
Tom DeNeal, board president, said after the presentations that the board would consider the information and make an announcement of its plans at the next regularly scheduled meeting 6 p.m. Jan. 21 at the Middle School.
A presentation was given by middle school vice principal Gabe Angelly concerning the eighth grade trip to Washington, D.C. He cited $499 as the price per student to travel by air to the capital, stay in a hotel and have meals and bus service provided.
He stated that this was a low price for such service and that back in the 1990s priced at $399. He said this was not a great increase.
Fifty of 150 eighth graders are currently signed up to go on this trip, said Angelly. Others may be added, but time is limited. The airlines require notification in advance in order to deliver the lower priced tickets he said.

|In response to Re: pedistal sink supply lines(water)
Solid risers like you describe fit onto the 1/2" threaded supplies of the lav faucet. The faucet should have come complete with 1/2" nuts. The lower end of the solid riser slips into the compression fitting of the water supply shutoff.
It is important that the "upper" nuts be tightened first and then tighten the "lower" compression nuts. (none of the fittings require thread sealant) The lower compression nut and sleeve can be lightly oiled. WD40
: I am in the process of installing a pedistal sink in my bathroom and would like to use chrome plated risers I purchased at a plubming supply store. I am installing an American Standard faucet. I have seen the flex hose connectors that have the steel braiding on the exterior but do not like the way they look. The risers or water connectors I purchased are crome or stainless steel coated copper and seem flexible enough but I do not know how to properly connect them to the faucet. The connectors I have are solid tubing with a flange on one end. The flange which is also metal,looks sort of like a toilett plunger. The intallation instuctions say to "connect the hot water supply lines the the approriate shanks using sealant, appropriate connectors, and coupling nuts." Since these supply lines have a metal flange with no rubber, can I count on this making a good seal with just compression alone? What type of coupling should i be using if this is not correct or what type of sealant should i use?

Well Fall is officially here! It is such a beautiful trip along the Salmon River on your way to the Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast. And you can add a fishing trip on the Salmon with Kookaburra Rafting, fishing for Steelhead the fishing gets better every day.]
Its time to start thinking about fall colors along the Salmon River on your way to stay at the Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast. Nights are cool and the weather is great, beautiful sunny days and cool nights, what more can you ask for.
We've been seeing Gray Jays, Blue Jays, Cedar Waxwings and many other birds eating the berries in the yard, its always salad bar at the Greyhouse.
We also have a Mule Deer with 3 fawns hanging around the apple trees, they are so cute. And you need to check out Goldbug Hot Springs.
Our temperatures here at the Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast are ideal for your comfort and enjoyment. True, it's been a bit stuffy, with temperatures in the low 90's, but compared to other areas, this is wonderful. For the next few days, we expect highs in the low 80's during the day, cooling down to the 50's at night. Excellent temps for your stay at the Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast. While you're here, ask us about a Salmon river float trip
Sacajawea Center great place to learn about local history.
Boy Scout Rock jumping in to cool off.
The Greyhouse Inn, which offers rooms in a 19th century farm house, also features very nice cabin rooms some distance from the main house. In fact, we are the place to stay in the Salmon, Idaho area. We are not in Salmon, our Inn is located about 11 miles south of Salmon on U.S.. highway 93. We are also not right on the Salmon river. We are located where the river bends to the East, swinging away from the Greyhouse by several hundred yards. But we still have the best location in the world, you've got to come and see for yourself.
This is the best time of the summer to book your room at the Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast and reserve a float trip on the Salmon River with Kookaburra Rafting. Our weather is cool right now and with intermittent rain shower activity the mountains remain green and beautiful. Do not let this wait, act now, call us at 1-800-348-8097.
Hello Bitterroot Valley friends and neighbors. Please remember the Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast is here for you! One of our greatest assets is our proximity to the Goldbug hot spring. As many of you already know, Goldbug is favored by all mostly for it's remote location and natural setting. If you are thinking of a good soak, bring your friends and family, and we'll start your day with a wholesome breakfast and send you on your way to Goldbug hot spring.
Spring has finally arrived at the Greyhouse Inn near Salmon, Idaho. The signs are everywhere around us. The service berry bushes are blooming as are the Nan King cherries and apricots. The birds are singing, and along 12 mile creek you can smell the delicious fragrance of the cottonwood trees. Spring is here! Come and enjoy!
Just wanted to update everyone on the goings on at the Greyhouse Inn. Dave and I put up a new jack fence between us and the cows. No more cows stampeding through the yard. And the fence looks awsome, can't wait for you all to see it. Cabin fever should be setting in and it is time for a little get away. Come and see us, we have 3 baby chickens running around with the big chickens and 21 more on the way as well as 4 baby ducks. We are excited about the new babys to add to our girls. I'll keep you all informed with new pictures of the babys when the arrive in May.
A proper Spring Break should include hiking to the local hot spring for a soak. Our suggestion is that you book two nights at the Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast, drive about ten miles south on US highway 93, turn off the highway a short distance and hike to the Goldbug hot spring. If you haven't been there yet, it's an all natural environment with plenty of hot water. One of the best health benefits derives from the hike up to the hot spring. It's not a long hike but the terrain is steep giving you an excellent cardiac workout. Call us and make your reservation: 1-800-348-8097.
Way up north in the land of ice and snow stands a cozy little cottage and beside the front door hangs a neat little sign Greyhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast, Dave and Sharon live there. They keep the grounds and rooms ready for all their guests who come from all over the world to experience all that Salmon Idaho has to offer.
We have 2 feet of snow on the ground at this time and we decided to go for a walk with Chase and the cats around the yard 47 degrees and the sun was shinning. Out of the north the wind picked up and the snow started flying! So much for Spring!
Well its time to start thinking about coming to Salmon for your Idaho Vacation, take a whitewater rafting trip and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us here. Also bring your camera loads of pictures to be taken. Call for your reservations.
Below are a couple of pictures taken yesterday, enjoy.
Little Boy Kitty helping.
It does look like a winter wonderland and we so needed the snow.
