When you read the thread title I can imagine you are having serious doubts.
But don't worry, those doubts of yours, I'll shatter them.
This spoils things that will be shown later in the manga so if you don't want to be spoiled, read this anyway because this is win.
Let me start with giving you some facts from the manga.
Kyuubi attacks Konoha.
Don't believe it, it's all made up.
A lot of ninja died alright, but this made up nine tailed Kyuubi did not do it.
In fact Konoha was at war for some reason.
No details can be given on this war because it was all covered up with this so called "Kyuubi incident" and all information has been erased, but you can take my word on it because it is the Truth.
For some reason they didn't want anyone in the future to know about what happened, so they just made use of the legend of the tailed beasts, which is just folklore.
The Jinchuuriki.
People who host one of these so called Bijuu are called Jinchuuriki.
What do we know of these individuals?
1. They show physical differences (at times).
2. Special powers/abillities, but no bloodline limit.
3. The well known Jinchuuriki were disliked by the villagers.
So we can say they are different from 'normal' shinobi
The way Jinchuuriki are treated in the Narutoverse is actually based on history.
In the Middle Ages people believed in demonic possession.
People who were suspected of being possessed by demons were hated/locked up/killed.
Yes, nothing Kishi does is original.
In the manga:Originally Posted by Wikipedia
Demonic possession, in supernatural belief systems, is a form of spiritual possession whereby certain malevolent extra-dimensional entities, demons, gain control over a mortal person's body, which is then used for an evil or destructive purpose.
Naruto: As soon as he goes 4 tails Kyuubi takes over bit by bit of Naruto, and goes on a wild rampage attacking friend and foe.
Gaara: As soon as he sleeps Shukaku takes over, and directly decides to kill Gamabunta/Naruto when he sees him.
These Jinchuuriki who are said to have demons inside of them are just born with a mental illness similar to Dissociative Identity Disorder.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissoci...ntity_Disorder (In case you don't know what dissociative identity disorder is)
This form of dissociative identity disorder comes with the possession of extraordinary powers, and is apparently extremely rare.
These exorcisms were performed by priests or shamans which was ofcourse, much like the Gaible, total fake nonsense.Originally Posted by Wikipedia
Unlike in channelling or other benign forms of possession, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism.
This is where AL (Pein), Akatsuki's shaman comes into play.
Akatsuki's scheme
AL uses Fuuin Jutsu: Genryu Kyuu Fuujin to 'seal' the demons inside a statue.
Ofcourse there are no demons so what AL does is pure nonsense.
"Fuuin Jutsu: Genryu Kyuu Fuujin" translates to "Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals".
Yes that's right, the name of this jutsu doesn't lie, it's an Illusionary jutsu, as in "not real".
You can say this is some kind of Genjutsu almost similar to Itachi's Tsukiyomi.
It makes the Akatsuki members see nine dragon heads pour from the statue's mouth.
Then it screws up the victim's mind like Tsukiyomi, but unlike Tsukiyomi it takes 3 actual days in the real world and is way more intense which causes the victim to die from the mind torture.
Now that Pain's face has been shown I really thought he looked like a torture specialist in a way.(Look at nagato)
(Also note that the Rain nin in the chuunin exams used genjutsu)
At this point you will think something like "Why would Akatsuki search for something that doesn't exist?"
I'll tell you the Truth.
They make everyone including the unaware Akatsuki members believe they are hunting Bijuu.
They use the legend of the tailed beasts to capture the mentally sick Jinchuuriki, and even a mutated crab.
But this is actually a diversion to hide the real objective (Insert one of the many "Tobi=Obito=Madara=Ramen bar owner=Naruto's Father=Pakkun=Yondaime's special kunai=Chouji's bag of potato chips who wants to take over the world by collecting 3 sharingan users" theories here).

"Concerns Arbitration for certain non-teaching school staff."
NJEA supports S-2163 (Lesniak, Cunningham). This bill would extend due process rights in disciplinary matters to certain non-teaching employees who do not currently have them.
Under current law, only secretaries and some school custodians and attendance officers, in addition to teachers, are afforded statutory due process rights. Other school employees such as teacher assistants, bus drivers, security guards, and cafeteria aides, do not enjoy the same basic statutory protections of due process. This bill would ensure all school employees have a basic right to due process.
Furthermore, this bill will protect employees from termination without just cause. Even if an employee has contract language requiring due process, school district employers have unilaterally skirted the due process agreed to by not renewing support professionals' contracts. In doing so, these school districts have argued that a non-renewal is somehow not a termination, and, therefore, not subject to arbitration under a locally negotiated grievance procedure ending in binding arbitration.
If this legislation is enacted, all school employees, regardless of title, will have a basic right to due process and binding arbitration, a right that their certificated colleagues and nearly all other public employees in the State of New Jersey already enjoy.
S-2163 merely brings equity and fairness to the handling of school employee disciplinary matters. What is fair and just for certain public school employees should be fair and just for all public school employees.

Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin says he is not expecting a large turnout for Tuesday's US Senate Primary. Fewer than 750,000 of the state's 4 million registered voters are expected to go to the polls. Secretary Galvin says a reliable indicator of turnout is absentee ballot requests, which he says were running 20% behind the last US Senate primary in December, 2009. While primaries historically bring out fewer voters than general elections, he says this primary's get-out-the-vote effort was further hampered by the Boston Marathon bombings.
"The atrocity of April 15th certainly was a distraction and a pre-occupation for most people and remains so. Therefore they're not terribly interested in party politics when you have stakes of life and death going on as they were and are."
A low turnout would favor Ed Markey over Stephen Lynch in the Democratic primary, according to Tim Vercelotti, director of Western New England University's Polling Institute, which conducted its most recent voter survey around the time of the bombings. He says the outcome of the Republican primary anyone's guess. And because the poll's number of likely voters was small, Vercelotti says the survey's margin of error was quite high — plus or minus 9 percentage points.
"We reported our results with the caution that this is a huge margin of error; don't draw iron-clad conclusions from this. It didn't stop people from drawing iron-clad conclusions (laughing), saying "Oh look, Gabriel Gomez has a six point lead". Well, he might or he might actually be trailing, we can't say."
Polls are open Tuesday from 7 am to 8 pm. In addition to the Senate primary, 86 communities across the state are holding municipal elections tomorrow as well

A patient originally from Puerto Rico but now living in Texas attended PHA's 8th International PH Conference in Houston and noticed that there was no support group or organization for residents of Puerto Rico. Although Evelyn Crespo lives in Texas, she travels frequently to Puerto Rico and contacted PHA almost immediately after Conference to determine what steps she should take to organize a group there.
Since that time, two groups have formed for Puerto Rico. One is headed by patient leader Mineliz Colon and her doctor, Dr. Héctor Stella-Estevez. This group — known as the Caparra Wellness Center PAH Support Group — has already held two meetings for patients in the area. A second group for patients is led by Evelyn along with patient Luz Batista-Santiago, Luz's caregiver and husband Ricardo, and their PH-treating doctor, Dr. Alvaro Aranda, from the region's Auxilio Mutuo Hospital. Thanks to the people fueling this new pulmonary hypertension community, Puerto Rico now has its first PH Center for the comprehensive treatment of patients, scheduled to open in January 2010.Not only does the Puerto Rican PH community work together to organize patient meetings, but it is already raising awareness, advocating for PH inclusion in Puerto Rico's healthcare insurance, and securing official government proclamations declaring November as PH Awareness Month. One of the largest efforts during Awareness Month was a rally and exhibit at the Plaza Las Americas, the biggest shopping center in the Caribbean. For 12 hours on October 31 and six hours on November 1, the support group led by Evelyn, Ricardo and others set up a booth to draw attention to the disease for the approximately 60,000 people who walk through the Plaza daily. Ricardo and Luz prepared special shirts, brochures and banners to draw even more attention in this high traffic shopping area. This group also uses Facebook to organize its patients, and as we go to press, this online group boasts 161 members with postings and photos listed frequently. Group co-leader Luz won the global competition for the PHA United Kingdom's "Blue Lips of PH," which has generated attention for her story and the growing movement of patients in Puerto Rico.PHA boasts a network of more than 216 support groups, but we still need to expand into areas that don't have groups and in areas where patients must travel a distance to find other patients. What does it take to go from Evelyn's observation that "there are no groups here" to this now vibrant and growing network?

Notes from spring training
For all the talk about the Yankees' pitching, their catching also is a concern.
Scouts are growing increasingly critical of Russell Martin's defense, and based on manager Joe Girardi's comments to reporters Friday, journeyman Gus Molina seems likely to win the backup job.
Martin, one scout says, "has gotten worse each week — he's not catching well and he's not throwing well." Two other scouts were less harsh in their assessment of Martin, but one said, "He hasn't really excited anyone at all."
Such is the case offensively as well.
Spring-training statistics are essentially worthless, but Martin — coming off two straight seasons of a sub-.700 OPS — is batting only .211/.326/.289.
Here's the scary part: Martin, coming off surgery on his right knee, figures to carry a heavy workload in the early part of the season.OPENING DAY COUNTDOWN Get the scoop on your favorite teams
and their rivals as the season approaches.
The Yankees are off the day after Opening Day, then play nine straight days. They then get another day off before playing six straight.
• Rays right-hander James Shields appears ready for a bounce-back season, and the team is excited about the potential of its left-handed relievers, Jake McGee and Cesar Ramos.
The Red Sox's predominantly left-handed lineup will make it critical for AL East opponents to counter with quality left-handed pitching. J.P. Howell will give the Rays a third left-handed reliever if he makes a successful return from a shoulder injury.
• The Braves are more likely to trade right-hander Rodrigo Lopez than righty Kenshin Kawakami before Opening Day.
Lopez, who has a 3.86 ERA in 18 2/3 innings, is drawing interest from other clubs, but the Braves need not rush into a move.
While Yankees righties Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon can ask to be released if they are not on the Opening Day roster, Lopez does not have an out until June.
• The Reds do not sound overly concerned about Johnny Cueto, who has inflammation in his shoulder, or Homer Bailey, who has an impingement. Both pitchers will start the season on the DL, but it's possible that both could pitch if the team was in a pennant race, one club official says.
Still, the Reds' enviable rotation depth is rapidly diminishing. Righty Bronson Arroyo, dealing with a lingering cough, is awaiting the results of blood tests; he told reporters that doctors want to rule out Valley Fever, the condition that sidelined Conor Jackson for much of 2009.
Righties Mike Leake and Sam LeCure will replace Cueto and Bailey, respectively. Leake has allowed 34 baserunners in 151/3 innings this spring.
• Righty Mat Latos, the Padres' Opening Day starter, was scratched from his start Saturday due to an inflamed bursa sac in his throwing shoulder.
The Padres will have a better feel for his condition Saturday morning, once they determine whether he can play catch.
• Luis Castillo ended his 0-for-8 start by going 1-for-2 with two walks Friday, but prior to that game a scout expressed skepticism that Castillo would make the Phillies, saying the veteran's bat looked slow.
The Phillies plan to keep infielder Michael Martinez, their Rule 5 pick from the Nationals. Squeezing Martinez onto the roster will be much less of a problem if Wilson Valdez is the Opening Day second baseman.
• A scout says of Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek: "He's throwing better than I've seen him throw in the last couple of years."
The same scout says Jarrod Saltalamacchia is "throwing OK, but is not the greatest receiver."
• The reigning ACC Player of the Week is Georgia Tech freshman center fielder Kyle Wren, the son of Braves general manager Frank Wren.
Kyle, 5-foot-9 and 158 pounds, leads the ACC with a .477 batting average, 41 hits and 27 runs.
Just think: If Kyle chooses Scott Boras as his agent, Frank could become the first GM in history who is unable to sign his own son.
• Finally, with right-hander Braden Looper retiring, the battle for the final spot on the Cubs' pitching staff is down to right-handers Carlos Silva, Marcos Mateo and Casey Coleman.
Silva, guaranteed $11.5 million, would seem unlikely to be released; the Cubs probably would want to give him one more chance in the bullpen at that salary.
Then again, club officials have said they would open with the best team. A decision is expected by the end of the weekend, if not sooner.

WE'RE HEARING...recent settlements between lenders and regulators over alleged foreclosure abuses and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's new servicing rules may do little to lift the cloud of litigation risk hanging over lenders.
Patrick McManemin, a Dallas-based partner with the law firm of Patton Boggs, said the CFPB's new servicing rule could create more problems than it solves. Requirements related to foreclosure practices could prove especially difficult to manage when lenders are dealing with a large volume of loan defaults.
"I think there is going to be a lot of room for potential litigation exposure as circumstances and events require some of the new rules to be interpreted," McManemin told me. "We are going to have a period of time when courts are going to be required to interpret some of these rules, and that's going to be difficult."
He said there appears to be no "safe harbor" for violations that result from good faith mistakes rather than intentional violations of the CFPB rules. Among the rules that could prove tricky as servicers manage large foreclosure volumes: a requirement that they must consider an application for a modification if it arrives at least 37 days before a scheduled foreclosure sale. Restrictions on "dual tracking" of loan modification efforts and foreclosure procedures may also expose servicers to litigation risk.
The CFPB's new servicing rules also give investors a say in foreclosure decision making. That's a new wrinkle for servicers to manage, McManemin said.
"All of a sudden investors have some rights and a seat at table in terms of foreclosures. This adds a potential step in the process required of servicers."
The requirement that servicers give troubled borrowers "direct, easy, ongoing" access to servicing employees may be a stumbling block.
Moreover, the rule explicitly gives borrowers the right to sue their servicer in certain loss mitigation disputes.
Less worrisome today, McManemin believes, is the threat of more investor suits against lenders alleging misrepresentations in the sale of mortgage pools. That's because in many cases, the statute of limitations for making such claims relating to loan pools sold at the height of the mortgage crisis is coming to a close. However, many such cases remain in the pipeline, he said.
McManemin said the recent $8.5 billion settlement between ten large servicers and regulators regarding alleged foreclosure abuses does not shield servicers from further litigation. Servicers had hoped for a deal that would grant a broad release from claims and put foreclosure litigation behind them.
"The limited nature of the release in the settlement does not eliminate all of the existing litigation risk," he said.
Michael Steinlage, a partner with the law firm of Larson King in St. Paul, Minn., agreed that recent settlements between servicers and regulators may do little to alleviate the litigation risk for servicers.
"From past experience in this area in particular, even the best laid plans seem to never quite meet the expectations of the various people who were involved in pushing them."
Steinlage, who practices primarily in Minnesota, said loan modifications are increasingly a focus of litigation involving mortgage servicers. In Minnesota, servicers are seeing a rise in allegations that loan modifications were promised but never completed. He says servicers often have strong grounds to defend themselves against these charges.
"Ultimately, a loan modification is a modification of an existing contract, and there has to be a signed document. Absent that, most courts don't find an enforceable modification," he told me.
Servicers are also under fire for pursuing foreclosure actions simultaneously while efforts to reach a modification are underway, he said. Again, he said credit agreements relating to postponement of foreclosure usually need to be in writing to be accepted by the courts.
MERS-related lawsuits are comparatively rare in Minnesota, he said, because the state has a "fairly unique" statute that specifically authorizes MERS as the nominee with a right to take foreclosure action. Nonetheless, most lenders are foreclosing in their own names to avoid disputes related to MERS' standing as nominee for the lender.
Steinlage says that investor lawsuits, mostly related to origination activity but sometimes involving companies that also service loans, may increase because certain elements of those cases have survived motions to dismiss. Larson King has represented investors in some of those cases. Steinlage said some investors are now doing due diligence to see if they can pursue recovery of money lost from the purchase of bad mortgages. If they decide to proceed, those investors could seek to consolidate their claims into existing litigation, he said.
The recent $8.5 billion settlement between servicers and regulators reflected frustration with the slow pace of modifications, he said. One issue driving the settlement was the high cost of reviewing thousands of foreclosure files to see if modifications should have been offered.
Despite the billions of dollars that servicers have agreed to pay to settle claims related to foreclosure practices, a simple web search about recent enforcement actions finds that there are still plenty of people who think lenders are getting off easy. As long as there is significant public skepticism about banks' foreclosure practices, litigation risk is likely to remain elevated.

Yup, same here bud. Been waiting for a bit.
Same thing if I try to log into the GW2 website. Still no email.
no idea if this helps
Edit: Actually i found the issue, these verification emails unlike all previous emails from ArenaNet were filtered as junk by my Windows Live email server so they werent even seen by my installed email client.
waiting and waiting this sucks especially when you got down time to play.
I hgave same issue and sent in a complaint with no response so GW2 is failing in customer support area if ask me.
Same issue here. Couldn't log into support to get help either. Had to create a new support login and submit help request. No response from them yet... of course. : (
I also checked my junk/spam folder. There are no emails there either...
so basically another fail problem, on a holiday weekend at that.
for such a great game, I cannot believe all these problems they are having. Didnt they state they were ready for the mass influx of players? And that launch would not be hindered much?
Edit: I can't even log into my gw2 account page. And they still do not have the option to change the login email address. I signed off GW2 to reset my computer and have not been able to log back on to the game for 3 hours.

The federal government shutdown is potentially threatening the United States Biochar Initiative's four-day conference starting this weekend at UMass Amherst.
Conference director, Karen Ribeiro, says twelve people scheduled to speak are employees of the United States Department of Agriculture who are on furlough because of the shutdown. Their research focuses on biochar, an organic soil enhancer.
"It's unfortunate because this research is really cutting edge and could help propel the industry. We'll definitely have a loss there by not having the research presented," Ribeiro says.
Ribeiro says she's trying to find a different way, such as video conference, to present the panelists' research.
Congressman Jim McGovern is scheduled to give the keynote address on Sunday. McGovern's office says that as long as there are no votes in the House that day, he plans to be there.

Karen Dunbar: Glasgow Comedy Festival
Show type: Misc live shows
Following her sell-out national tour, Scotland's queen of comedy brings her live show to the Theatre Royal. Twice nominated for best actress at the Rose d'Or television festival, Karen Dunbar first burst onto the Scottish screen in 1999 in the hit comedy sketch show Chewin' the Fat and then upped the ante with her own show, surprisingly named... The Karen Dunbar Show. The TV diva spinning yarns, creating characters and sending up songs in the live arena is not to be missed
Original Review:
Karen Dunbar certainly knows the value of nostalgia in building a rapport with her audience. Like countless other comedians she taps into shared memories – often on the subject of the stupid things your parents used to say, or the embarrassing faux pas of her own youth – as the basis of her cosily familiar comedy.
Peter Kay is the comic who has trodden the same ground most lucratively in recent years, and Dunbar looks as if she's taken a leaf out of his book – even going as far as including a segment on cheesy 'guilty pleasure' songs that would do the Bolton stand-up proud. And yes, Amarillo does make a brief appearance – although she prefers such school disco classis as Come On Eileen or Waterloo, complete with awkward dance moves.
The problem is that her territory is such a familiar comic landscape, that she can't help standing on other stand-ups' toes. How many more comedians, for instance, will describe the 'syllable beatings' they used to get as a child, receiving a wallop on every sound?
Yet in other anecdotes she does make these reminiscences her own, successfully combining personal tales with experiences we all shared, without seeming like she's retreading old ground. A prime example is her vivid memory of the terror her teenage self felt when sneaking back home past curfew. These recollections seem fresher than much of the rest, and all therefore the more engaging for it. That she's an innately likeable and relentlessly dynamic performer certainly helps, too.
But time and again she's let down by mundane writing. She's just come back from Australia, she frequently tells us, from which you can immediately guess precisely what areas she's going to cover: yes, it's hot and her Scottish skin can't cope, and, wouldn't you know it, some words have different meanings over there. She almost avoided doing the blindingly obvious 'thongs' mention – but, in the end, couldn't quite help herself. After all, this is a show that has a gag about vibrators in the first five minutes, and ends on a formulaic Shirley Bassey lyric-switch parody, in which Goldfinger become Old Singer, so the big box of comedy clichés is certainly well plundered.
When she does try to avoid the obvious, the results are mixed. Many observational sections lack focus as she describes in detail, for example, the Cadbury's drumming gorilla advert, without quite justifying it with witty comment or devastating payoff; and a list of things she dislikes proves similarly tepid
Yet she is capable of more. There's a nicely surreal tale about the drug-induced rescue of a turnip, a deft characterisation of her old biology teacher and an entertainingly irrational rant against the range of greeting cards called Moonpig.
These are, however, isolated incidents in 90 minutes that are too inconsistent in quality and style. There's not a routine in here that you could call quintessential Karen Dunbar, rather a hodgepodge of comedy techniques and approaches that almost any other comic could use. It seems that she'll try anything in an attempt to offer something to please everyone – but its cost is that she cannot have a distinctive voice.
You can't say it doesn't work, however. Glasgow's 1,500 -seater Theatre Royal is filled with so many fans of her work on BBC Scotland's Chewin The Fat as her self-titled show that there is always someone to squeal with delight at every line.
But despite the decent reception, she's really playing too safe, with material too nebulous and too generic, to burst above mediocrity for all but the briefest, most tantalising routines.

2002 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Comte de Vogue
This is the flagship wine of the iconic Burgundy producer, Comte de Vogue. The combination of vineyard, vintage, domaine and sheer rarity make this one of the most exciting on the market.
The Musigny of Vogue is always one of the top handful of wines made in Burgundy, yet production is small. Only around 900 cases in a typical year making this a difficult wine to source even on release; cases from a 5 star vintage as good as 2002 are practically unheard of.
In terms of style Vogue's Musigny is simply magnificent; supreme power wrapped in layers of velvet. When mature the quality is almost beyond words and from a vintage of the stature of 2002 they are a step up again.

The extraordinary 2002 Musigny Vieilles Vignes will most likely not have as much cellaring potential as the great 1949, 1959, or 1990, yet qualitatively is in the same league as those jewels from the past. It sports a profound nose of red cherries, spices, candied raspberries, and hints of oak. This noble, concentrated, refined wine reveals loads of flowers intermingled with red as well as black fruits in its complex personality. Unlike the bold, chewy, hyper-concentrated 1990, this is a feminine wine, a work of art with exquisite tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. Wine Advocate.June, 2004
Comte de Vogue: The Importance
"Domaine Comte Georges is the source of many legendary libations," writes Robert Parker, celebrating what has been an immovable landmark in the village of Chambolle-Musigny since the cellar was built in 1450. The same de Vogüé family owns the domaine to this day and have placed it comfortably at the top table of Burgundy's great estates.
Experienced critics note this domaine's history of great wines, but also note recent improvements in quality. "While I am duly mindful of the many legendary wines this domaine has produced (see the database for all vintages reviewed dating to 1919), the 2005 could very well join the list of the all-time greats," writes Allen Meadows. Meanwhile Neal Martin awarded higher scores to the 2012s than any previous vintage from the domaine. Of the 2008's John Gilman writes that: "the 2008s here may well be more on a par with the 1966s, 1964s and 1962s, as they share with those earlier vintages a striking transparency of soil, haunting perfumes and breathtakingly pure fruit tones." One thing is certain: the quality at this historic address is better than ever.
Comte de Vogue: The Insight
Described as "the boss" by winemaker François Millet, the Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes is the top wine produced from the enormous seven-hectare parcel situated dead in the centre of Burgundy's largest uninterrupted plot of Grand Cru vineyards. This plot used to be its own distinct Grand Cru vineyard bearing the name Les Petits Musigny, effectively a Monopole of de Vogüé. The same wine is often referred to simply as "Musigny," since younger vines are not deemed good enough for Grand Cru status and rigorously declassified to Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, which here plays the role of a second wine.
Very different in style, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is one of the most cultish vineyards in Burgundy. Roumier, Mugnier and Dujac are de Vogüé's neighbours here, producing some of the Burgundy's most sought-after Pinot Noir-based wines. De Vogüé holds a very sizeable 2.7 hectares on reddish soils in the southeast sector of the Grand Cru, with the oldest vines dating back to 1945. The wines have been called "magnificent" by Antonio Galloni and "a reference standard wine of stunning elegance" by Allen Meadows.
Meanwhile, the Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Amoureuses is, for Clive Coates, "along with Gevrey-Chambertin's Clos Saint-Jacques, the prime Premier Cru candidate for promotion to Grand Cru." Neil Martin comments on the 2012: "This is certainly Grand Cru quality and what d'ya know - under blind conditions I gave this exactly the same mark as their Musigny Vieilles Vignes!"
De Vogüé also produces a white wine from Chardonnay plantings in the traditionally red Grand Cru of Musigny. This is the only Côte de Nuits AOC that can produce both red and white Grand Cru wines, and de Vogüé is the only producer with the necessary plantings to make a Musigny Blanc Grand Cru. However, since 1993 all the white wine has been bottled as Bourgogne Blanc, again because the vines are deemed too young to produce a wine of Grand Cru status, though it is still the most expensive Bourgogne Blanc, typically one and a half times the price of Coche-Dury's.
All of de Vogüé's wines stand out for their intense and muscular style in their youth, often attracting very long drinking windows from critics.
Comte de Vogue: The Background
Sources differ on the exact medieval origins of the estate, but the de Vogüé family traces its roots back over a thousand years and is one of France's oldest noble families, and probably the only one to retain ancestral holdings in Burgundy. Today Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is owned by Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette, granddaughters of the late Comte Georges de Vogüé (1898-1987), after whom the modern incarnation of the domaine is named.
The wines have been made by François Millet since his arrival in 1986, during this time according to Robert Parker, he has "scarcely spared expenses devoting meticulous attention to virtually every possible detail of viticulture, vinification, and élevage," often explaining his decisions, such as his obsession with minimum vine age, with anthropomorphic metaphors: "It's a question of complexity," he tells Decanter, "the Chambolle Premier Cru is like Musigny in short trousers." Changes at this old-fashioned estate are slow, but the results speak for themselves.

I can't think of any really exciting stories from high school -- I do remember once I went to the Q-Fest that radio station KUKQ put on, and my glasses got knocked off and smashed in the mosh pit at Front 242, and I didn't tell my parents about it for 6 months because I was afraid they would be mad at me. (They weren't really that mad when I finally told them)
From college: I got several interviews with bands I like through ASU's radio station, so that was cool. I got to interview Trent Reznor, Sarah McLachlan, and Chapterhouse. I really didn't know what the fuck I was doing so the interviews were all embarrassingly awful.
Favorite Coachella set: I think I'm gonna go with Portishead because set and setting, bands before and after, sound quality, temperature, drugs, EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect that night, and I will never forget it. I saw Radiohead and Daft Punk too, but we were dehydrated at Radiohead (fucking HOT that day), and we couldn't see at Daft Punk (I had no idea there was a pyramid).

Canucks Lose Thrilling Game They Shouldn't Have Lost: Recap and Chance Data
Dimitri Filipovic
March 06 2013 01:02AM
"You stole those two points for your team, Antti."
Here's the question if you're a Canucks fan: would you rather see your team play a thrilling game in which they dominate, only to have them eventually lose, or would you prefer to see them squeek out a forgettable yawner and take home the two points?
For me, personally, it's the former; every single day of the week, and twice on this particular night. Especially when you're talking about a regular season game in March, shortened season or no shortened season.
The Vancouver Canucks wound up losing to the San Jose Sharks in a shootout on Tuesday night, yet it's nearly impossible to fault the process that they put forth. They should have won this game, and if they continue to play like this, more often than not they will.
Read on Past the Jump for the Scoring Chance Data, and Analysis.
That was fun, wasn't it? The two teams came out guns a'blazing, combining for 8 scoring chances in as many minutes to start the game. As you'll notice if you scroll down to the bottom, the Canucks did in fact wind up out-chancing their opposition. But given the way they played, you would have figured that it would be by a wider margin. They out-shot them 38-30, and dominated in the puck possession game for large chunks of it. The result wasn't necessarily there, but that'll happen every once in a while. Playing the way that they did is a recipe for success if they can maintain it going forward.
I am loving what the Canucks currently have working up front. Obviously you know what you'll get from the Sedins, but the Higgins-Raymond-Hansen line was once again a force. They generated 6 scoring chances, and buried the goal that wound up getting the Canucks a point on this night.
The combination of Zack Kassian and David Booth were not to be outdone, generating a few quality chances of their own. Booth was flying out there, and Kassian did a good job of getting him the puck. Now I'd just like to see what they'd be able to do with a legitimate center between them, like perhaps, a Ryan Kesler. I'm as big a Max Lapierre supporter as there is out there, but he's out of his depth right now.
The biggest concern coming out has to be the team's power play, which failed to get anything resembling dangerous action going on 4 of their 5 opportunities. And they gave up a shorthanded goal to Adam Burish of all people in the 2nd, to boot.
But at the end of the day almost none of that mattered as their man advantage late in the 3rd was a thing of beauty. They kept the Sharks hemmed in for the full two minutes, displayed tremendous puck movement, and peppered Antti Niemi with quality chances. I'm still not quite sure how they didn't score, frankly. You've got to give it up to Niemi; he was clearly the 1st star, and was up to the task all night long.
Let's finish off with a few rapid fire notes before we get to the chance totals:
-Dale Weise and Tom Sestito generated a 2-on-1, on which they failed to register a shot on net. Let's just say no one will be mistaking them for the Sedins any time soon.
-Fans of the team are irrational about Alex Edler as is, but he nearly played an integral part in injuring both Henrik Sedin (with a slapshot from the point) and Chris Tanev (with a sloppy turnover which forced Tanev to block a shot that appeared to sting him).
-Speaking of the team's defense, Jason Garrison and Dan Hamhuis were once again sparkling. Am I crazy or are the Garrison doubters getting less and less vocal? Now if he could just find his way back onto that top power play unit..
-Keith Ballard left the game with what was termed a "lower body injury". I'm no doctor, but I think this will make it even tougher for him to sneak out of Alain Vigneault's doghouse.
-But wait..
Scoring Chance Data
A reminder for those of you new to reading our site: a scoring chance is counted any time a team directs a shot cleanly on-net from within home-plate. Shots on goal and misses are counted, but blocked shots are not (unless the player who blocks the shot is "acting like a goaltender"). Generally speaking, we are more generous with the boundaries of home-plate if there is dangerous puck movement immediately preceding the scoring chance, or if the scoring chance is screened.
Here's the total scoring chance data:
|1st Period
|2nd Period
|3rd Period
|Sharks (EV)
|4 (3)
|2 (0)

|3 (3)
|13 (10)
|Canucks (EV)

Great recap.
I always wait to read these before I jump onto the "Get rid of Edler", "Trade Luongo", or "Fire AV" bandwagon. lol. Tonight I'm of the "why can't this team score goals" bandwagon.
Small sample size, but this team is sitting 16th league wide with most goals per game. The high octane Calgary Flames, New York Islanders and 'trap it up' St. Louis Blues have scored more. Yes, you are seeing what I'm seeing. I get that Keslers injured but every other NHL team, short of Chicago, have serious injuries. Alex Burrows, David Booth and perhaps a Raymond need to figure it out.
Burrows on a 19 goals pace, David Booth hasn't score a goal in nearly a calendar year. It's well, pathetic. If AV pressboxes anyone, it needs to be them. I hope Dreger was right when he said Booths being used as trade bait. Maybe not he'll get a sense of what those poor bears fet like (couldn't help myself :) )
color me pink - much bigger issues than Raymond and burrows' play
Booth, bieksa and Kessler out, recent goalie play, kassian and d pairings
@Color me pink
@Color me pink I don't know if Burrows is the problem.
Yes, he is "only" on a 19 game pace (pro-rated for an 82 game season). But while he is off the pace for a usual year, a top line winger being 10 goals down over the course of a season shouldn't derail a team.
The secondary scoring hasn't been bad either. Higgins, Hansen, Raymond and Kassian are on pace for 20-22 goals as well. Kassian of course has been cold for a month, but the other three are scoring pretty consistently recently.
If we had five forwards score 20+ goals who don't have Kesler or Sedin on the back of their jersey, I'd think we'd consider that a good season usually, right?
The problems as I see it are:
A) Kesler - injuries of course B) Booth - like you said, he isn't scoring. Driving play, but I don't know if we need the four million dollar version of Tanev up front, at least not once the cap lowers in the summer. C) Power Play. This is the big one IMHO. The secondary scorers are doing their job, even with Burrows being off his usual pace. But the powerplay is killing the Canucks. We should be scoring an extra goal per game almost if it went back to the PP % from last season.
I've never really liked teams using 4 forwards on the PP - especially when you have someone like Jason Garrison you can throw out there. Why risk giving up a SH goal when you can run out a good two-way d-man with a big shot?
I look at the power play and I just don't get it. Sometimes they seem to be completely off, other times they look to be doing everything right and it just doesn't matter.
The puck doesn't go in no matter what they do.
I know some of it's just luck, and running into hot goaltending, but unless they get some results there's no way to tell what's working and what isn't because nothing's working.
Yes, I'm frustrated watching the power play (though I think the Nucks would make a killing if they could decline penalties they draw to offset penalties against them).
@Color me pink
Chicago lost their #1 goalie and 2nd line C for a good part of the season... those are pretty serious guys to lose...
March 06 2013, 01:55PM
Burrows is shooting 6% this season, while his career avg with the Sedins is about 16.5%. He also played a third of the year as a centre on the 2nd line. His goals are bound to come.
Booth has played 7 games after a lockout, a groin injury and the flu mixed in. His centres thus far have been a rusty Kesler with a broken foot and Lapierre.
This site has always spoken about process over results, so, can we please keep these things in prespective when critiquing their scoring amounts?

Each week, we'll post answers from staff members about various aspects of opera, whether it's their favourite aria, an opera house they'd like to visit, or an open-ended question about what they would do if they could conduct, create, etc., an opera.
We welcome comments with your own take on the question, either on the blog or via social media.
What started as a retweet from the Royal Opera House on World Book Day last week has become this week's blog content question. Considering Tchaikovsky wrote Eugene Onegin after a dinner party where they discussed suitable subjects for opera, we think this is an awesome question as we prepare for the final opera of the 2012/13 season.
If you could stage an opera based on a book, what would you choose? Do you foresee any challenges?
On social media, we had two people reply that they would like to turn Pride and Prejudice into an opera, as well as mentions of Virginia Woolf's Orlando, John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, Memoirs of a Geisha and The Great Gatsby. For Orlando, it was pointed out that either a counter tenor or two artists for one role would have to be cast — we saw similarities that it could be like The Tales of Hoffmann, where both are done (either one artist is cast for the three women or three artists are cast for each of the women that Hoffmann falls in love with). The comment about Memoirs of a Geisha was also fantastic: "The only challenge (would be) that a lot of the dialogue is her private thoughts and observations, but that's what a good aria is for!" One of the chorus members also commented that she could probably write an opera based on the coffee-shop conversations that she was currently overhearing.
And finally, we won't lie: our first thought when someone suggested The Great Gatsby was that if it were an opera, it would be a great outreach project to get high schools involved with our education programs.
Our technical director, Clayton Rodney, also suggested that How the Grinch Stole Christmas would be a great opera because "it's practically an opera already! So much drama and so over the top — plus building the costumes and scenery would be way too much fun!"

Paidcontent is reporting that TV games maker Two Way Media says it has done a "development and funding deal" from the Ingenious Media investment and advisory firm to fund a foray in to social TV games production.
James Turner, chief executive of Two Way Media, said:
"Focused project funding and development arrangements are critical to the development of top-level, exciting games and helping to drive the market overall."
Two Way has introduced cable, satellite and IPTV platforms game mechanics for the likes of X Factor, Play Your Cards Right and Britain's Got Talent. But it's expected the deal will push Two Way to push hard into building interactive games via new platforms such as YouView, emerging set top boxes and Smart TV from CES manufacturers.
Two Way and ingenious say their deal "focuses on Two Way's social gaming and connected TV projects" and they will "share in the considerable commercial potential" Ingenious already acquired Two Way back in 2007, so it's not clear what this new deal is but it's likely a capitalisation of Two Way in order to seek out this new opportunity.

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

El Niño's Alter Ego
"Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it." —Mark Twain
El Niño has revolutionized conversations about the weather. No longer banal small talk, the weather has become the subject of high drama and preternatural powers. Everyone is talking about El Niño, and each story seems more odd and disastrous than the next:
This nefarious atmospheric scourge will no doubt be made to take the blame for stock market plunges, cellulite, and poor SAT scores. It is just a matter of time before criminal courts are presented with the "El Niño Defense."
Equal Time for La Niña
The obsession with El Niño has overshadowed its lesser known counterpart, La Niña, which is very capable of wreaking havoc of its own. La Niña creates nearly opposite conditions from El Niño: instead of warm temperatures in the Pacific, the water turns unusually cold and the atmospheric pressure anomalies are the reverse of El Niño. Where El Niño might create a hot and dry spell, La Niña is likely to cause a cool and wet climate. There has been only one significant La Niña in the past 20 years (1988) compared to a slew of hellish El Niños1, a fact that has been no help in boosting La Niña's low profile. Although El Niño was named more than a century ago in 18952, the existence of La Niña was only acknowledged in the past few years. It has also been saddled with such uninspiring names as "anti-El Niño," and "El Viejo" (old man), but now "La Niña" is definitely the preferred term. Since a La Niña episode often follows El Niño, it is sure to get more press next year once we feel its cold blast and watch its aberrant manipulation of nature.
Consult the Information Please Almanac for further information on "What's Wrong with Our Weather", Weather Extremes, or the Weather in general.
1. El Niño and La Niña years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association:
2. El Niño translates as "the little boy" in Spanish, meaning the Christ Child, and it received its name from Peruvian and Ecuadorian fishermen who detected a warm ocean current around Christmas that caused torrential rains and major disruptions in fishing. Scientists usually refer to it as ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation). The "SO" refers to the oscillation of air pressure in the South Pacific. La Niña means "the little girl."

Big93,You should read the manual of the GPS device: http://www.ohararp.com/files/EB-85A_UserManual.pdfIt has no temp sensor, no gyro and no pressure sensor. You need to get separate items. The GPS can give you information about where it is. The Arduino is fast enough to handle the GPS information, but doing all these things (ie. Kalman filter, etc...) requires probably a lot more memory (program space)
ok....but since it can handle only gps, i can make a gps only controlled helicopter, considering i dont put anything else in the plane ( maybe except for an altimiter, so it doesent try to fly on the ground ).does that sound right?and maybe i can just send the coordinates to a lcd just to see where i am...

On Feb. 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television broadcast stations stop broadcasting in analog format and broadcast only in digital format. Here's what these requirements will mean for you and your television viewing.
Emery County will be turning off all of their analog television translators on or before the Feb.17, 2009 dead line. This includes Channel 26, which is analog and will go off the air Jan. 1, 2009.
If you watch television on an antenna then you will need to have a newer television with a digital receiver or a set top box connected to your television. Emery County has had these new channels in place and running for almost two years now so there is no reason that people have to wait until the Feb. 17, 2009 deadline.
Emery County has installed digital TV translators so that all county townships have digital TV signals available using a good outside UHF antenna.
The federal government has a coupon program in place to help with the cost of upgrading your equipment which consists of two $45 coupons per household you can find more information at this web site https://www.dtv2009.gov/.
The Emery County website offers this information for the switch: What will you need to receive the new over the air digital television signals in your home?
v1: You will need a reasonably good UHF television antenna and feed line (COAX), if you have a splitter inline to feed more then one television you may need a good low noise UHF pre-amp or distribution amp.
The UHF flat panel antenna's sold by ACE Hardware and others work very well for over the air digital TV.
Position the antenna's orientation so it faces our transmitting sites, for the Northwest part of Emery County you want to point at Horn Mountain west of Orangeville.
One thing to remember while you are testing your antenna, if you have a reasonable good picture on your TV now with the regular old Analog channels using your antenna you will have a perfect picture with the digital television signals.
2: You will have to have a digital television receiver labeled as (ATSC) built in or stand alone set top box.
Most larger screen TV's on the market today have the ATSC (digital receiver) built in. If your looking to buy a new television be sure to look for the ATSC or digital receiver listed on the box or display.
If you buy a TV that says "HDTV monitor" then it most likely does not have a digital receiver built in.
Be sure to ask your sales person to make sure it has the digital television receiver built in.
For the televisions that do not have a "ATSC" digital tuner built in then there is a set top box that plugs into your existing TV just like a DVD player does.
The set top boxes are a bit expensive still at $189 at Wal-Mart, Circuit City, and others. If you buy a new TV with a digital tuner built in it only raises the price of the set about $40 dollars.

By PAUL L YOUNGSt. George
In a speech taken from William Shakspeare's, "Julius Caesar" I have remodeled it to fit the typical actions taken by the radical extreme enviromentalist's against Utah's silent citizenry.
Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fevered pitch and blood boils citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, they will offer up all their rights gladly so. How do I know? For that is what I have done. And I am Caesar.
Beware of the radical extreme enviromentalist leader who bangs the drums of the enviromental war in order to whip us common every day citizenry into a pro-enviroment fervor. For enviromentalism is indeed a double-edge sword. It emboldens the blood with extreme enviromentalism, just as it narrows the mind of the common citizenry. Meaning you and me, and when the drums of the enviromentalist war have reached a fever pitch and blood boils with hate, our mind becomes closed with their distorted reasoning. The radical enviroment leader will have no need in seizing the "rights" of the anti-enviromental concerned citizenry, yours and mine.
Rather the citizenry, you and me infused with the fear and blind sided by enviromental intimidation, and being coerced will offer up our rights unto the enviromentalist leader and gladly so.
How do I know this? By your repeated silent, non-involvement, let some one else do it attitude.
For this is how I planned my strategy. I am one of Utah's Active Radical Enviromental Leaders.
Martin Luther King clarified the above when he wrote, "History, will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition is not the strident clamor of the bad people (meaning the radical enviromentalists) but rather, the appalling silence of the good people." Meaning you and me.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Emery will host two region foes this week in volleyball as the real season is now upon us. North Sanpete will come to town on Tuesday night and Juan Diego will be in Castle Dale Thursday night to start the region season.
In the last two preseason matches, Emery defeated Duchesne in Castle Dale on Tuesday and then traveled to Roosevelt to take on the Union Cougars on Thursday and won there in five games.
Against Duchesne, Emery won 25-15, 22-25, 25-19 and 28-26. At Union, Emery won 24-26, 25-20, 22-25, 25-15 and 15-12.
Several players stood out in their efforts, especially against Union according to Coach Melissa Esplin. "Jalee Jensen passed really, really well this week and Chelsea Skinner served well and set the ball well. It is nice to have Frankie Komar back after she hurt her hand and she is serving and setting really good. Meagan Pearson has a very good all-around game and helps keep the team motivated. It seems now that the team is hitting the ball well, especially Abbie Kay, Sierra Bridgewater and Madison Jensen."
Against Duchesne, Emery looked really good in the first game but then towards the end of the second game, they sort of stopped doing everything that had been going right for them. Melissa talked about that, "When you get a team that is not as good as you, you sometimes play down to their level. We shook it off and came back and played strong to close them out."
Emery is now ready for the region wars to begin.
