I thought Lee kicked Madara into pieces in the previous chapter. How did he put himself back?
So So
I thought Lee kicked Madara into pieces in the previous chapter. How did he put himself back?
Its like a simple kunai. Sakura could use a kunai to kill the Raikage because the blade could easily cause a fatal injury if not parried, but he would recognize the danger and counter her attack. In this case however, Madara doesn't need to counter, as he has his Edo body that will reform without any problems, so Its possible that he simple didn't bother putting in the effort to parry.
While the speed of the recovery of Madara makes him difficult to take down, Hashirama was married to Mito and Minato was married to Kushina, so both of them should've learnt various sealing techniques. Its confirmed that Minato learned sealing jutsu from Kushina. Its safe to assume that Hashi learnt from Mito. So Madara will be going up against some intense seals, since the Uzumaki were quite revered for their sealing techniques. They also have two individuals who have quite a depth of knowledge on the Edo tensei jutsu (Oro and Tobirama, and 3 if you count Kabuto after he was absorbed).
Point is, sure its a tough fight, but should Naruto and company keep the juubi at bay, the Hokage Taka group will certainly break Madara's Edo and take him out.
this is certainly an intense battle at the moment it's a bit of a stalemate so the third power are needed to break the deadlock and bring a satisfying conclusion to this epic battle. I hope Minato has a cool power up for Naruto. Would it be corny if the previous hokage decide that Naruto would be a worthy seventh hokage? (yeah I still consider Danzou the sixth even though he barely survived a day as Hokage)
Just make one of the newly brought back Kages death god seal madara, problem solved lol, take Obito too while your at it. That just leaves a out of control Juubi left, eazy peazy.
I wonder if Madaras meteor attack would damage the juubi, idk seeing as it took the entire moon to seal it lol
A pie in the sky?
Another line of defense for Madara is his Susanoo. Susanoo almost seems alive and should it envelop someone, I don't think Kamui would be able to penetrate that barrier. Sure, it probably could whittle down the Susanoo shielding, but Susanoo can easily reform/regrow, thus eliminating any damage the kamui did to it.

Load Balancing for Glassfish V2 Deployments and BIG-IP Systems: Addendum
By bounds on Dec 07, 2009
I was recently at a customer who was having issues configuring BIG-IP to load balance to Glassfish (v2.1.1) cluster instances. They had been following Prashanth's blog directions on how to configure this setup. The load-balancing piece worked fine; However, BIG-IP would not recognize a Glassfish instance as running in the monitor. The monitor is extremely simple, it just does a GET and if it gets a valid response then Glassfish is running. The send string is typically set as:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
Glassfish showed no requests in the access logs. If we used a browser to request index.html it would return correctly. Oddly, we replaced Glassfish with Tomcat running on the same port. The monitor send string was unchanged. BIG-IP immediately recognized the instance as running. The next step was to watch the traffic. An easy way to do this was to use tcpmon. tcpmon is a simple utility that watches TCP traffic. With tcpmon in between the browser and Glassfish/Tomcat we were able to watch what was going on. Requests were coming in fine, but only tomcat would respond. Step three was to really bump up the logging level. We added this property to <domain.xml>:
This showed that a connection was being established to Glassfish (snip from the logs with IPs changed to protect the innocent)
[#|2009-11-20T11:09:25.515-0600|INFO|sun-appserver2.1|javax.enterprise.system.container.web|_ThreadID=15;_ThreadName=SelectorThread-7780;|Handling OP_ACCEPT on SocketChannel java.nio.channels.SocketChannel[connected local=/10.99.101.29:7780 remote=/184.108.40.206:50627]|#] [#|2009-11-20T11:09:25.518-0600|INFO|sun-appserver2.1|javax.enterprise.system.container.web|_ThreadID=15;_ThreadName=SelectorThread-7780;|Handling OP_READ on SocketChannel java.nio.channels.SocketChannel[connected local=/10.99.101.29:7780 remote=/18.104.22.168:50627]|#] [#|2009-11-20T11:09:25.529-0600|FINEST|sun-appserver2.1|javax.enterprise.system.container.web|_ThreadID=21;_ThreadName=httpSSLWorkerThread-7780-0;ClassName=com.sun.enterprise.web.connector.grizzly.DefaultReadTask;MethodName=finishConnection;_RequestID=f902a22c-7228-4c91-8ef4-6ddd686d044a;|finishConnection|#]
My next step was to simplify. Instead of requesting index.html from either a browser or BIG-IP, we switched to wget. The http headers are much less verbose for wget. Matching the BIG-IP send string to what wget sends still had the same effect. That is when I started thinking back to the golden days of telnet (OK, telnet is still around and you can do this with SSH as well). If you telnet to an http server port you can type in the GET command to request a page. The gotcha is that after you finish typing the command you have to hit two carriage returns. So, I changed the BIG-IP request string to:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\\n\\n
BIG-IP showed Glassfish as a running instance, confetti fell from the roof, and there was much rejoicing!

Our bread & butter. With subscription billing at the core of Chargify, we give you the ability to bill in flexible increments and collect payments with open-ended configuration. Yearly, monthly, weekly, or by custom intervals — you decide both the frequency and amount of your recurring plan charges.
Fine-tune subscription pricing through our add-ons. These subscription "components" can be used to turn optional features on and off, or to allocate quantities or units that are billed on a per-piece basis.
Every time a customer uses a consumable resource – like phone minutes or text messages – you can send us an API message. We diligently keep track of their usage and tally up the total at the next renewal, and charge appropriately.
We know that one size doesn't fit all. Your heavy users probably expect better pricing. As usage quantities change, we can intelligently adapt pricing according to your business rules. In addition to per-unit pricing, we also support tiered, volume, and stair-step pricing on all add-ons.
Most merchants want to bill their monthly subscribers based on when they signed up - if the subscription started on the 9th, it will renew on the 9th of the following month. Chargify does this by default, setting up a predictable cycle for your customers and spreading your cash flow over the month.
Watch your subscriber count skyrocket when you offer a trial period, either free or paid. Whether it's the same length as your recurring interval or different, Chargify handles it for you. Want a seven-day trial period followed by monthly billing? No problem.
Charge anything, anytime. You can choose to charge the subscriber's card on file for any amount – either immediately or during the next normal billing cycle.
When you're ready to start accepting paid subscribers, Chargify is ready too. Capture initial charges as soon as subscriptions start with predetermined setup fees.
Your Plans and Products can easily be sorted into Groups (also known as Families). By grouping your plans, you can control the upgrade and downgrade options available to your customers, and also create segments of customers for reporting or analytical purposes.
Chargify makes it simple to charge everyone on the 1st (or any day) of the month if your business requires it. You'll sometimes hear us refer to this as "Snap Billing", because we'll "snap" your subscriptions to a particular day of the month when enabled. We can even prorate partial months at the time of sign up.
There are no limits to the number of plans and products you can create in Chargify!
Accept credit cards from your customers easily and securely. We store payment details safely so that your customers can pay for anything using their favorite card.
For merchants using Braintree as their gateway, we support payments via PayPal. Your customers will have the convenience of using their PayPal account for recurring and one-time purchases on Chargify-hosted pages.
Chargify works just about everywhere. If you can get a merchant account where you do business, Chargify can connect to it and manage your subscription billing cash-flow.
For merchants using the Authorize.Net gateway, we allow your customers to pay for their recurring subscriptions through their bank account, using our ACH/eCheck payment method.
Some business is still done the old-fashioned way. If your customer mails a check to you, it's easy to record that payment in Chargify with the rest of your automated transactions.
We allow you to charge your customers in almost any currency you choose. And, using multiple Chargify "Sites" – a feature of our admin dashboard – you can charge in multiple currencies simultaneously.
Entice signups by offering discounts that are applied only at signup. With this kind of coupon, your recurring renewals are not discounted.
Our coupon code system allows you to define multiple unique codes – even thousands of them - for the same coupon or discount. This is perfect for Groupon-style promotions where each customer needs a unique redemption code.
You control how many times any given coupon code is redeemed – one time or one hundred times, it's up to you. The most common use-case is to distribute many codes for the same promotion, each limited to a single use.
Since recurring is the name of our game, you're not limited to simple one-time discounts. Discounts can be configured to apply to multiple billing cycles – either forever or for a certain number of billings. This is the kind of flexibility your sales and marketing team craves.
Whether you aim to give a percentage savings on the entire bill, or a fixed dollar-amount off, you have ultimate control over the amount of discounts applied. Fixed amount discounts can be used like "gift cards", and can even be configured to carry over excess discount amounts if you choose.
Chargify allows you to collect sales and use taxes based on your customer's location. You can define the regions and rates, or allow us to fetch rates automatically from the leading online tax source, Avalara (US Only).
Compliance with EU VAT Tax is a snap with Chargify. We also support VAT Tax opt-out, and store the buyers's VAT validation number for correct tax collection, every time.
Start accepting online signups immediately by using Chargify-hosted signup pages. Simply link your customer to the provided signup page, and we'll collect the sensitive payment details and complete the signup. You don't have to do any programming, nor do you have to worry about handling cardholder data. We take care of both.
Even though we host these pages, you retain full control over their look and feel. We support custom CSS stylesheets and Javascript code, giving you almost infinite flexibility and possibility in your design. Even without CSS and Javascript, you can customize with a click: upload a logo, display card brand badges, and add a bot-preventing CAPTCHA – all easy options.
Every Chargify-hosted public page gets its own unique URL. So, getting new customers is as easy as placing one of these links on your website so your customers can find it. Don't have a website? No problem! These links can be embedded anywhere: Facebook, Twitter, even text messages. Anywhere you can reach your customers becomes a channel for getting new recurring revenue.
Chargify Direct is a "Transparent Redirect" technology that allows you to host a signup form on your own website while also avoiding the PCI-compliance hassles associated with transmitting cardholder data. With Chargify Direct, the form posts directly to Chargify for processing, and we redirect back to your site with secure, API-based results of the transaction so you can take the customer to the next step of signup.
Take full control over the signup flow by using our server-to-server API for signups. Anything you can do using our hosted signup pages can also be done via our API, giving your seasoned developers the control they need.
Make your newest signups feel special by sending a personalized welcome email. Using our "Email Composer" you have full control over the design AND content of the emails. Design once in full HTML glory, then use easy replacement variables to make it personal.
Chargify makes it simple to charge the right amount at the right time. With support for many different kinds of automated and manual charges, it's easy to design a billing scenario for every customer. We easily support:
Dunning is the process of handling an overdue account to bring it current again. Chargify simplifies dunning management and helps you retain customers through carefully-timed emails. Simply set a custom retry schedule, and send the customer reminder emails when their card is expired or declined. Then, automatically cancel their subscription if you can't win them back.
Perform upgrades or downgrades through our admin dashboard (accessed by you or your customer service team), our API, or the self-service Billing Portal. Proration is an option for any change – most merchants choose to prorate on upgrade but not on downgrade.
Just like plan upgrades and downgrades, sometimes your customers need to change the number of licenses or widgets they are paying for on their account. These changes can easily be made, mid-cycle, by either you or the customer.
Issue refunds directly from within Chargify, without having to go crying to your payment gateway. And, when it makes sense, you can also issue service credits instead of actually giving money back.
Chargify's referral feature provides your customers with unique referral codes to incentivize new signups and reward referring customers. A well executed referral program has been proven to boost signups by as much as 25%, and Chargify's out of the box referral feature can help you achieve similar results. Learn More
Chargify's Billing Portal is a customizable, white-labeled website where your customers can control just about everything to do with their Chargify-billed subscription: changing plans, viewing statements, adjusting add-ons, changing credit cards, and canceling…
…all without you having to lift a programming finger. Learn more about Chargify's Billing Portal
You can choose to have Chargify email payment receipts or detailed statements to your customers with every purchase or renewal. The statements accurately break down into an easily digestible notice of all the periodic charges.
For those customers that can't (or won't) pay automatically by credit card, we help you issue recurring invoices with payment terms you choose. Quickly account for overdue invoices and re-send by email when necessary. When a check arrives, enter it against the invoice in two clicks.
Don't wait to get paid when a customer increases their allocation or changes plans mid-month. We offer flexible proration schemes on all usage-based and plan changes. You can choose to capture a prorated amount immediately or tack the prorated amount onto the next bill.
Send emails to your entire subscriber base, or just those subscribed to a specific plan, quickly and easily from within our admin dashboard.
If you need to cancel someone's account suddenly, there's a function that makes this incredibly easily. You'll enter a short note, and tell Chargify if their service should be cancelled immediately or if it should be cancelled when their current billing period ends.
See what's going on in your business, at a glance. Our dashboard will show you signups & cancellations for the last 30 days, customer count & monthly revenue for the last 12 months, signups & revenue for all of your products for both the current and the previous month.
Chargify provides a place for you to enter simple notes about each customer. Does the customer require white glove treatment? Are they touchy? You and your team will always know, when you keep it on file.
Every Chargify account allows you to create unlimited "Sites." Every Site has separate customers, products, settings, and reporting. Many merchants use multiple Sites to power their different businesses.
Track key performance metrics like Lifetime Value (LTV) and Customer Churn with our informative analytics. After all, knowing is half the battle.
Export your subscribers and transactions as CSV files that you can slice and dice any way you please.
Our permissions system allows you fine-grained control over what each user can see and do within your Chargify account.
Never be far from updates about your company performance. View your key performance metrics on our iPhone app.
Our RESTful API has been lauded by developers from across the world for its ease of use and modern semantics. Using the API, you can manage your entire subscriber base. In fact, our own Billing Portal uses the API exclusively, communicating with Chargify to power self-service for your clients.
We maintain a list of consultants familiar with the ins and outs of Chargify and its API, ready to help you with your next project.
We developed and currently maintain a Chargify API client library for the Ruby language. Dedicated users the world over have developed additional libraries for .Net, PHP, Python, Java, and more. View the full list.

Homecoming at Green River High started out on Monday with an alumni basketball game. Seventeen men arrived at the gym to play in the alumni game and their graduations dated from 1979-2008. The alumni cheerleaders were fewer in number, there were only seven of them.
Tuesday the girls traveled to Duchesne to play basketball and they had a disapointing night with the Eagles beating them 44-34.
On Friday the Pirates hosted the Monticello Buckaroos the Lady Pirates beat the Buckaroos 46-28. Outscoring them in every quarter 13-8, 13-6, 8-5, and 12-9. Brandi Webster led the Pirates with 15, Courtney Carter and Cady Mecham were both in double figures with 12 and 10. Lindsey Spadafora made the only 3-pointer on the game and had five, Sarah Swalberg and Crosby Hatt both added two to the scoreboard.
The Pirate boys team didn't fare quite as well, they fell just short 46-49 at the final buzzer. They kept it close in the first and third quarters and outscored the Bucks in the second, but is just wasn't enough to get the win. Quarter scores were: 10-11, 13-9 15-17, and 8-12. Brennan Bigelow made four 3-pointers for 12, Kayden Mecham added 11, making one 3-pointer. Tyson Johnson was also in double figures with 10.

Laser Institute of America releases new laser safety standard
The Laser Institute of America, Orlando, Fla., has unveiled the ANSI Z136.9 Safe Use of Lasers in Manufacturing Environments standard. The latest in the line of laser safety guidelines stemming from the parent ANSI Z136.1, the standard provides guidance for the safe use of lasers and laser systems that operate at wavelengths between 180 nm and 1 mm.
The standard includes policies and procedures to ensure laser safety in areas where lasers are used in manufacturing, both public and private industries, and product development and testing settings.
"The advent of really high-powered fiber lasers and the potential for femtosecond and picosecond lasers in actual manufacturing operations has increased the need for safety attention," said Tom Lieb, chair of the Z136.9 development subcommittee and president of LAI Intl. "Fiber lasers have enhanced the growth of an array of applications due to their relatively lower cost, plug-and-play capability, and low use of floor space," he commented.

Now that the dust has settled across Europe, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hail the star players of Heineken Cup, Round 6.
Now that the dust has settled across Europe, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Heineken Cup, Round 6.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
Team of Round 6
15 Stuart Hogg (Glasgow) – While there was Clement Poitrenaud performing strongly in the snow – before rather strangely being substituted – we went for a Warrior for our first pick. Hogg carried for 115 metres and eight tackles in victory over Northampton and fully deserves this jersey.
14 Chris Ashton (Saracens) – A brace of tries against Edinburgh will give England winger Ashton a timely confidence boost in the run-up to next month's Six Nations. His first score showed a clever bit of communication with Owen Farrell, latching onto the fly-half's cross-field kick well.
13 Sireli Naqelevuki (Exeter Chiefs) – The imposing centre was often Exeter's go-to man as the Fijian force constantly barged his way through the middle – gaining 57 metres in total for his team. And when he wasn't tearing up Leinster's defence in the backs, Naqelevuki was a menace in the forward exchanges too – talk about multi-tasking! A solid effort overall, considering he was up against Gordon D'Arcy and Brian O'Driscoll who also deserves praise for a scoring a try and setting up another.
12 James Downey (Munster) – He is someone Northampton have missed since making the move across to Ireland. Downey's directness was evident on Sunday as Munster got over the advantage line, which allowed the likes of hat-trick hero Simon Zebo space to cut loose. Downey sees off Paddy Wallace, who was solid in Ulster's historic win in France.
11 Simon Zebo (Munster) – Count 'em… 1,2,3! Munster needed to win with a four-try bonus point to keep themselves alive and man-of-the-match Zebo provided three of them. He continues to go from strength to strength, and has become an expert finisher. If you need further proof, take a look at his second try that wrapped up the bonus point…pure class!
10 Nick Evans (Harlequins) – Once again he was instrumental in a Quins win with a great place-kicking display considering the conditions. But where Evans really made an impact was with his outstanding positional play. He always seemed in the right place at the right time in the prolonged game of aerial ping-ping with the Biarritz kickers. Sarries veteran Charlie Hodgson deserves a shout out for scoring one try and creating another.
9 Benoit Paillaugue (Montpellier) – In an inspired performance against Toulon, Paillaugue controlled the game brilliantly along with Francois Trinh-Duc, marshalling his pack and putting in plenty of troubling kicks for the opposition. His goal-kicking was also excellent.
8 Louis Picamoles (Toulouse) – Is there a better number eight in Europe at the moment? We don't think so. That fateful non-try (where he crossed but was unsighted to the TMO) seemed inevitable as soon as Toulouse were awarded a 5 metre scrum, such is the power of the man. He showed super hands to get the ball through a gaggle of defenders too – pity all those bodies were in the way of the cameras. A mention too for Ireland skipper Jamie Heaslip, who did get the ball down over the line and had a strong day with ball in hand.
7 Sean O'Brien (Leinster) – Exeter's pack was bullied off the pitch in their own backyard, and it was largely thanks to this man and Cian Healy (who we'll discuss a little later). O'Brien was Leinster's leading tackler (10), and put his pilfering skills at the breakdown to good use – turning over several balls for the visitors. Equally dangerous with ball in hand, Ireland's star flank made plenty of hard yards for Leinster too. A shame it was all in vain for his side.
6 Julian Bonnaire (Clermont) – It was touch and go whether both Clermont flanks would make our team but in the end we sided with Bonnaire over Alexandre Lapandry. While he is an openside that wears six (the French style), we had to get him in with 20 tackles made.
5 Mamuka Gorgodze (Montpellier) – The Georgian talisman was in good form against Toulon, making more tackles than anyone else on his side and punishing defenders when he was on the charge. Right at the core of this impressive Montpellier team, the reception he received when returning to the field underlined his importance to his club.
4 Geoff Parling (Leicester) – With lots of kicking going on at Welford Road the line-outs were always going to be crucial and Parling did a great job, claiming seven for Tigers and pinching one off Toulouse. Just as importantly, he put in another big shift in the engine room making 11 hits, more than anyone else on the park with the exception of Thomas Waldrom.
3 Matt Stevens (Saracens) – For the second successive Monday, Stevens makes our team of the round. The retired international once again performed strongly for Sarries and was rewarded for his efforts with a try. He will form a fine balancing act with James Johnston.
2 AgustÃn Creevy (Montpellier) – No hooker impressed more in Round 6 than Creevy, with his ball-carrying epitomising his side's power up front. His lineout work was also accurate, with Montpellier winning 15 out of 18 throw-ins. Gets the nod over Saracens' Schalk Brits.
1 Cian Healy (Leinster) – Backing up his aggressive 40 minutes against the Scarlets, Healy was effectively used like an NFL running back against Exeter. His productive outing yielded 11 carries and 38 metres made, whilst scrums on Leinster's feed were up a 100 percent.


text: Even though I'm not a fan of the effort (or lack there of) that the animators put into Bleach, I think they're budgeting they're money. You can only produce top quality episodes for so long, before funds become an issue. I think they're just keeping it low quality for the regular episodes of plot development, smaller fights and such...and then when they reach a major fight, they put some more money in, and up the quality. The only good thing I can really pull out of it is that we appreciate the high quality episodes we get that much more when we get them, since they're so few and far between.

About 900 people heard Vice President Joe Biden show his support for military veterans and make a few final campaign pitches Saturday at Arvada West High School.
Vietnam veteran Steve Simmons, who called himself a proud American and proud President Barack Obama and Biden supporter, introduced the vice president.
"Barack Obama and Joe Biden will stand up for vets," Simmons said. "I gave a lot to my country, almost everything, and all I and my fellow veterans ask in return is a president that will stand up for us.
"President Obama and Vice President Biden have been there for me, so over the past six months I have been knocking on doors and making phone calls to be there for them," he said.
Biden took the stage as the crowd cheered.
"We're never going to do to veterans that fought for America what happened to Vietnam vets," Biden said. "There are 68,000 warriors like (Simmons) in Afghanistan right now, that's 1 percent of the population. We're so proud to have ended the war in Iraq, and we will end the war in Afghanistan."
Going to other topics, Biden promised millions of new manufacturing jobs, help to get three million working class teens into college to prepare for future careers and 100,000 new math and science teachers to help children prepare to compete in the global market.
He stressed the impact the next elected president will have in choosing Supreme Court justices.
"It far outlasts any administration; the president will have one to three appointees," Biden said. "Imagine a Romney Supreme Court. No one should make a mistake like that ... it's not your father's Republican party. They're not bad guys, just different."
Biden said he and Obama will continue to support a woman's right to choose and continue to support equal pay for equal work.
He said the Obama-Biden ticket is the better choice because Republican candidates Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan don't have confidence in the average American.
"We have complete confidence in the American people," Biden said. "We are determined to level the playing field ... there is one direction and one speed, and that is forward. It's never a good bet to bet against the American people."
Patty Kopperl, of Denver, an Obama-Biden supporter from Massachusetts where Romney served as her governor, said she was almost in tears by the end of Biden's speech.
"He's a wonderful speaker," Kopperl said. "He speaks from the heart. I'm glad he talked about veterans and the Supreme Court. We need to remember how important that issue is. It's not going to affect the next five years, but the next 20 years or longer."
Others who spoke in favor of Obama's re-election included District 7 Congressman Ed Perlmutter, former Secretary of Transportation Federico Peña and Sen. Michael Bennett.

Who doesn't want long and lovely lashes? Up your batting average with Gorgeous Cosmetics Angelique Lashes. These natural-looking lashes will enhance your eyes, adding a bit of length for a beautiful effect. These reusable lashes are perfect for everyday wear.
Essential Elements: Lashes can be reused for up to 10 uses.
For Best Effect: Curl lashes and coat with mascara. Apply a thin layer of lash glue along the band of the false lash. Leave for 10 seconds until the glue becomes tacky. Stand really close to your mirror, holding your false lashes (the opposite end of the glue) between your thumb and forefinger, tilt head up and place lashes down on top of your natural lashes. The false lashes need to sit in between the skin of your eyelid and where your natural lashes grow. Use your fingers to press your natural and false lashes together so you don't get a double lash. Finish with an eye liner to disguise where falsies have been applied.

Unhappily returning :-(
"I bought these with the hopes of having a closed toe nude pair of wedges for work...not so much! As other reviewers mentioned, these are SUPER high! The platform is very high and so is the actual wedge heel. If they were 1" shorter, I would be keeping them and buying multiple pairs! I'm very disappointed...my search for the perfect pair of neutral wedges continues...
