Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado State Office Volunteer Coordinator and Recreation Planner Jack Placchi has been selected as the BLM recipient of a 2012 Take Pride in America Federal Land Manager Award. Placchi is one of five winners in that category recognized at an awards ceremony on October 11, 2012, at the U.S. Department of the Interior's South Interior Building in Washington, D.C. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Rhea Suh thanked the honorees for sharing conservationist Aldo Leopold's belief that "environmental progress ultimately resides in the actions taken by each and every one of us."
Take Pride in America is a national partnership program aimed at increasing volunteer service on America's public lands. Its annual awards recognize both specific volunteer projects in a variety of categories as well as exemplary volunteer and resource program managers.
Placchi was honored for his exceptional management and active commitment to community stewardship through the promotion of volunteerism, youth participation, and partnership development. In conjunction with his duties as an outdoor recreation planner, he has worked to build support for public lands volunteer, youth, partnership, and veteran engagement initiatives across the state. His efforts in partnership development have resulted in a sustainable stream of outside funding and in-kind services for BLM projects. As the BLM-Colorado State Volunteer Coordinator since 2004, Placchi has coordinated efforts among the BLM's field offices and government and private organizations, such as Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado. He has also worked as a strong proponent to bridge gaps among user groups in order to engage all people in stewardship of the public lands. In fiscal year 2011 alone, BLM-Colorado's volunteer program generated over 225,000 hours of volunteer service, worth nearly $5 million.
As one Colorado volunteer organization executive recently wrote, "Jack's soft-spoken style and humility understate the enormous impact he has had on so many individuals, organizations, and agencies across the state of Colorado. Jack is one of a kind."

In the summer of 2013, Elephant Butte Reservoir dwindled to its lowest level in forty years. By late July, despite the arrival of monsoon rains, the reservoir was still virtually empty.
Numbers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimated the total water in storage to be 65,057 acre-feet (0.08 cubic kilometers) on July 24, 2013, about 3 percent of the reservoir's capacity of 2.2 million acre-feet (2.7 cubic kilometers). The last time water levels were that low was 1972, after droughts in the 1950s and 1960s depleted Elephant Butte. On the other hand, the reservoir was filled nearly to capacity for most of the period between 1985 and 2000.
Located in southern New Mexico and fed by the Rio Grande, Elephant Butte is New Mexico's largest reservoir. Created in 1915 with the construction of the Elephant Butte Dam, the reservoir provides water for about 90,000 acres (364 square kilometers) of farmland and nearly half the population of El Paso, Texas.
Drought severely strained the system in 2013. Spring runoff from snowpack in the mountains was well below average, and anemic rains throughout the beginning of the year left 80 percent of New Mexico grappling with either "extreme" or "exceptional" drought (the two most severe categories). The arrival of rains from the southwestern monsoon in early July offered a burst of moisture. But the impact on water storage at Elephant Butte was minimal, according to the Albuquerque Journal.
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard Landsat 8 acquired the bottom image of the parched reservoir on July 8, 2013, when it was filled to about 3 percent of capacity. The top image shows the reservoir on June 2, 1994, when it was at about 89 percent of capacity.
With such limited water supplies in 2013, farmers have faced the shortest irrigation season on record, receiving just three acre-inches (308 cubic meters) instead of three acre-feet (3,700 cubic meters) of water. To meet the demand, El Paso water authorities have had to drill new wells that tap underground aquifers. The city has also increased desalinization efforts and called for voluntary water conservation measures.

Ok so this is a poll to state whose side are you on(whose your favorite essentialy but the sakura bit's supposed to be a joke). Naruto? Sasuke? Sakura!? Mr.HappyPants?
Kill Naruto and Rename it Sasuke
Kill Naruto and Sasuke and rename it Sakura(I ate teh paint chips as a kid)
Naruto ftw
Kill 'em all (Why do I read this again?)
Ok so this is a poll to state whose side are you on(whose your favorite essentialy but the sakura bit's supposed to be a joke). Naruto? Sasuke? Sakura!? Mr.HappyPants?
My pants are on break right now.
Why do I like Naruto?
I like the character because while he may not be the strongest or the smartest or the best he chooses to rise above his darkness which has been substantial, and he is willing to put everything he has on the line for his friends because he'd rather never become hokage and have them with him than achieve his dreams with even one of them sacrificed.
i don think neither of them will die =P
rename it itachi! =D
they should call it jinchuuriki :kakashi
Made By Hagane, the Ice NomadNAruto's next Rasengan powerup(where he uses his new Fuuton RS while in Fox Xage mode) will accidentally make a tear in dimensions and suck Aizen and everyone else into Narutoverse, which will result in Madara and Aizen fusing, and Naruto will borrow Ichigo's enormous Zanpakuto and charge it with Wind Chakra and cut Madaraizen(if you steal this term I will hunt you down and disembowel you) in half, and then the world explodes from the awesomeness of the scene.
I always thought it shouldn't have been named after a character. That way no one has plot armor.
I think it should called "Shinobi!"
Anyways, I voted for "Kill 'em all (Why do I read this again?)" 'cuase it's funny.

Yiiframework.jpg generation
Posted 02 January 2011 - 04:27 PM
I found a file named Yiiframework.jpg having around 14 MB (biggest JPEG I've ever seen in my entire life! :]) on my hardrive, downloaded over three weeks ago therefore I don't remember from where and for what purpose I've downloaded it (I have CAutoMemoryErase behaviour turned on, which deletes entries older than two weeks from my brain-db! :]). It seems to be a complete diagram of Yii Framework structure and I must personally admit that it looks beautiful. Can someone out of Dev Team tell me, what tool was used to draw/generate it? Or maybe someone else on this forum can advice on some handy, free tool for drawing nice looking diagrams / algorithm?

How did you manage to create such a large JPEG file? :] Fourteen megabytes - the biggest in my entire life, as I mentioned. I saved it down to my HDD, opened in IrfanView and saved again under the same name. Even with 100% quality (never used in JPEGs) I got around 10 MB, that is four less (40% down). With 77% quality I got down to around 7 MB, half the original size.
I've seen bigger files, when talking about dimensions (around 10k pixels times 7k pixels in NASA weather maps and stars maps) and they were much smaller (a few MB) even if they were containing photos or complex graphics. This is very simple, vector graphics and shouldn't occupy that vast amount. Even for an updates version, which is far bigger in dimensions, when saved in PNG, it has only 3,7 MB.
But, again - I'm asking completely off-topic and just to feed my curiosity! ;]

VIDEO REPORT: Nissan Invests $500,000 in Canton Schools, Future Workforce
CANTON, Mississippi – Nissan is donating $500,000 to public elementary schools in Canton, Miss. The funding is intended to help children who are not keeping pace with their curriculum.
"If we can catch those students before they move to the next grade level and bring them up to speed, then their chances of success increases tremendously," said Lakesha Doyle, a third-grade teacher at Canton Elementary school.
This grant from Nissan will specifically go toward elementary school students who are behind in their classes. Thanks to this money, two new academic interventionists will give targeted support to these students.
"That's exactly what our children need. They need that small group setting, the one-on-one that sometimes will be provided to them to catch them up and even accelerate them and get them ahead," said Dwight J. Luckett Sr., superintendent of Canton Public Schools.
Nissan opened a plant in Canton 10 years ago in 2003. Since then, the company has donated nearly $1.2 million to the school district.
"Helping Canton schools succeed is especially important to us because first the district serves our local community; and, many of the students we hope are going to be amongst our future employees," said Dan Bednarzyk, vice president, Nissan Canton Manufacturing.
Currently there are about 5,000 people working at Nissan's Canton plant. The annual payroll there adds up to more than $200 million. And the company plans to keep growing.
Canton workers will soon start building the new Nissan Sentra sedan. And assembly of Nissan's next-generation Murano will move from Japan to Canton in 2014.

House Speaker John Boehner is scrambling to revise his budget plan after the CBO found that it would only cut spending by $850 billion, not the $1.2 trillion promised.
Downsizing Blog
Thoughts on the Boehner Plan
These are the times that try budget analysts' souls—especially budget analysts who'd like to see Washington dramatically cut spending. The debate over lifting the debt ceiling has produced a number of proposals from Capitol Hill—none of them have been worth celebrating. We can now add House Speaker John Boehner's latest proposal to the pile.
Senate Hearing on Debt
I testified to the Senate Finance Committee today regarding federal spending and debt.
Here are some of the points I made:
The Ratchet Effect, Agriculture Edition
Between the lines of a front-page Wall Street Journal article about farm subsidies [$] is an instructive example of the ratchet effect:
Debt Debate: What Government Is
If it is true that a failure to increase the debt limit on August 2nd has the potential to bring about economic Armageddon, shouldn't we be asking ourselves if it's a good idea to allow the political class in Washington to continue collectively play God with our lives? After all, these people are fallible human beings.
Spending Cuts and National Security
An op-ed by Peter Singer and Michael O'Hanlon in today's Politico questions the impact of spending cuts on the military. "Substantial defense budget cuts are possible, make no mistake," the Brookings' scholars concede, "But they could mean loss of capability, and some may increase security risks."
'Gang of Six' Plan is Lousy
My colleague Dan Mitchell discussed the good, the bad, and the ugly in the deficit reduction plan released by the bipartisan group of senators known as the "Gang of Six." As Dan noted, the plan is more of an outline and a complete assessment isn't possible until more details emerge. However, the fact that President Obama immediately embraced the plan ought to tell proponents of limited government all they need to know.
Gang of Six and Senator Coburn
The "Gang of Six" senators has released an outline of budget reforms that would supposedly reduce deficits by $3.7 trillion over 10 years. Revenues would rise by at least $1 trillion, while spending would be theoretically trimmed by various procedural mechanisms. The plan promises to "strengthen the safety net," "maintain investments," and "maintain the basic structure" of Medicare and Medicaid, which doesn't sound very reform-minded to me.
Two Trillion Isn't Enough
Washington is the only town where the circus never leaves. Elephants, donkeys, clowns and a ringmaster residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — our nation's capital has it all. And what a show they're putting on for the American people over raising the debt ceiling for the umpteenth time in recent years.
Cato Video on 'Cut, Cap, and Balance'
Cato Institute scholars Chris Edwards and Dan Mitchell evaluate the plan offered by Republicans for lowering federal spending using a so-called "Cut, Cap and Balance" proposal that would make small cuts to federal spending in the short run, cap federal spending, and balance the federal budget using a tax-limited balanced budget amendment to the Constitution:

Crashes snarl rush-hour traffic
September 17, 2013
Two separate rear-end collisions caused only minor injuries, but snarled rush-hour traffic Thursday morning in Grass Valley. The first involved three vehicles on northbound Highway 49 right before the Brunswick Road offramp, said California Highway Patrol Officer Greg Tassone.
That accident occurred at about 8 a.m., and sparked another rear-end collision as traffic started slowing down, Tassone said.
One person was transported with minor injuries in the first accident, and no injuries were reported in the second fender-bender, Tassone said.
The multi-vehicle collisions snarled traffic for about an hour.

Welcome to Union County College and to information concerning the Board of Trustees and Board of Governors who are responsible for the governance of this wonderful institution.
Union County College is the oldest continuously operating 2-year college in New Jersey and throughout its history it has been truly committed to the mission of providing accessible and affordable education to those who seek it. Our credit and non-credit enrollments have reached record peaks, reflecting the public's regard for the lofty goals that Union has attained and for which it will continue to reach.
It has been over 30 years since I first joined Union County College as a member of its governing boards. At that time, it was a newly reengineered institution of higher learning created by the merger of Union College and the Union County Vocational Technical Institutes. Since that time, the College has continually climbed higher and higher.
My colleagues and I experience great pride in serving on the governing bodies of Union County College. I commend the entire college community for their achievements and invite our web visitors to learn more about the College and take advantage of the many resources it has to offer.

By SYLVIA NELSONEmery County Historical Society Media Representative
Members of the Utah Rock Art Research Association (URARA) gathered in Ferron at Gilly's to begin a day of exploring the Ferron Box and surrounding areas early on Sept. 25. URARA members were from Colorado, Nevada and Utah.
Many had enjoyed the night at Gilly's cabins or camping at Millsite and other campgrounds close by. Joining them were "hosts of the day," the Museum of the San Rafael officers and guests, and also officers and board members of the Emery County Historical Society.
Since many in the group were familiar with not only the rock art found in these locations, but also the history of early settlers and livestock owners, the car pooling to and from the site proved to be a very interesting and informative time.
The beautiful fall day enabled all to enjoy the first long trek into the Lower Box. Many used binoculars to locate rock art across the creek. Many took photos of the rock art and also the historic names etched by cowboys and sheep owners of 80-100 years ago. The pictographs and petroglyphs range in age from thousands of years ago to about 500 years ago.
After a brief lunch break, most of the group climbed down into the box over boulders and rough terrain to get a closer view of all the canyon has to offer.
The next trek was along footprint petroglyphs covering a large surface of black patina rock formation.
The tour guide leader, Nancy Mason of Gold Hill, Colo., who knows Utah Rock Art areas well, continued the tour to two other locations of interest in the area.
At the museum, Dixon Peacock, Chairman of the Museum Board of Directors, conducted tours and pointed out the many new exhibits to the group until time for the welcome dinner which was catered by Food Ranch.
Jan Petersen, Museum Director, opened the evening meeting welcoming URARA, many guests and also the members of the Emery County Historical Society. Bert Oman, society president conducted the meeting and introduced Shaun Tomsich who played the guitar and sang familiar songs that he had chosen for this group, "Don't Fence Me In" and "Happy Trails To You." Then Shaun introduced his friend Rod Moore who writes and performs original music. Rod played the piano and sang "Whispers in the Wind" then strummed his guitar as he sang "Dutch Flat Road."
URARA President Layne Miller of Price was the guest speaker. He expertly and enthusiastically gave a detailed lecture and slide presentation of Utah Rock Art along with the rules and regulations that the organization adheres to and asks people to practice when viewing rock art. The slides were stunning, some were taken from photos by Troy Scotter, and the information was understandable and very educational. He stated that among the Native Americans that lived in Utah leaving rock art were the Paleo-Indians, Anasazi, Fremont, Ute, Piute, Shoshone, and Navajo.
ECHS Secretary Joyce Staley recorded that Miller had asked "What is Rock Art?" And then explained, "It is not a written language. Pictographs are painted with mineral and vegetable pigments, and sometimes even used blood, human or animal as a base. And most of these paints have lasted over hundreds of years. Petroglyphs are the pecked into the rock type of drawing."
Members of URARA , the Petersens, and other guests did a Sunday trek to more rock art, some close and some quite inaccessible. URARA expressed their enjoyment about staying in and seeing not only the rock art, but some of the wonderful sites Emery County has to offer. They expressed their appreciation to Jan Petersen and the staff of the Museum of the San Rafael for making them so welcome, their days here so pleasant and intend to hold their meetings here again.
The evening concluded with visiting and refreshments, swapping rock art stories and planning more treks.

Anti russian sentiment since the Ukraine "repatriation/aggression"?
But I do like the "putin it to Putin" alliteration. : D
I think it's because we hate the Russians again. It's kind of comforting to fall back on some well-defined enemies. Helps keeps things simple. I'm old enough to remember doing bomb drills in school (I'm still not sure what getting under our desks would do to ward off a nuclear attack).ReplyCancel
Miranda sure Likes spreading those legs for millionairesReplyCancel
Well, there you go Fru, it wasn't supposed to ward them off.
That flimsy wood shrapnel maker you hid under was supposed to protect you from the Radiation!
and the concussive force of the explosion…
@Steampunk – thanks for the clarification! I've been underestimating the protective powers of a student desk all these years :-)!
I just had a major Debbie Downer thought – I don't know what's worse; scaring kids with the Soviet Boogyman, or the Intruder/Active Shooter drills we run in schools these days. If a kid has ever been exposed to television news, s/he knows that school shootings actually happen. Us Cold War babies never had to deal with the knowledge that a bomb had actually been dropped on America, ya know?ReplyCancel
Does this make her a Putain of Putin's?ReplyCancel
@Frufra Excellent thoughts. My thoughts are that at least with an active shooter, you know have a chance of survival. The nuclear bomb thing was something you couldn't prevent or run from. It would just happen without warning and there was nothing you could do about it except dive behind your desk and pray while you watched your skin burn off.ReplyCancel
@Topper – thanks. My students also know that their teachers would be FIERCE in the face of a shooter – Momma Bear is fully prepared to kick some ass on that day. If you come into my room, prepare to get smashed on the head with a chair, sucker. I also have no problem throwing a table through the window and getting my babies outta there.ReplyCancel

Agree Zoe, she boned Bieber you can't get much lower.
AuntLiddy because true communism never existed in Russia and certainly does not now. People in the Communist party and athletes and artists were special and government officials were more than happy to grab the assets of Russia and a Russia mafia existed then. With the fall of communism in Russia, the Russian mafia became even more powerful, the race to grab resources made billionaires out of hundreds thousands of Russians who were already in with the "right" crowd and knew the right palms to grease etc. Putin is just another one of them, a thug and a crook.ReplyCancel
It is just like Forbes magazine wrote an article called the Millionaire Mullahs. The Mullahs that really run Iran have just stolen national assets to enrich themselves. One of the key Mullahs has a mansion and his kids all drive BMWs to school. Meanwhile since the Iranian revolution the economy of Iran continues to decline even with oil as one of their main exports. It is one of the reasons the crazy dude got elected out. I think if I were an Iranian, young and unemployed, I'd be thinking stopped playing with nukes and fix this economy stupid. Let's face it tourism can't be doing well.ReplyCancel
Who do you think it is, @M.R.H. IV?ReplyCancel
@Frufra I love how fierce and protective you are of the kids in your class 🙂
Miranda all the way she is determined to get that moneyReplyCancel
Ruskies like "Model portapoties" too.ReplyCancel
We know that Miranda Kerr has billionaires fighting over her and that she seems to be a fairly toxic woman. I am not sure why dating a Russian Billionaire would ruin anybodies career. Unless he was married or a known tyrant. Naomi Campbell would be another guessReplyCancel
Kerr's sold her ass to Justin Beiber, Leo DiCaprio and two scumbag Australian billionaires (as a start on the list), a Russian one won't make much difference to her reputation.
Might be Campbell whoring herself out to Putin but I thought Putin was still going through all those bimbos who carried the name of the country signs in the Sochi Olympics.ReplyCancel
there is some kind of madness in Miranda's eyes, like she isnt totally sane to meReplyCancel
Frufra – you in Oklahoma City? Which cities are the ones talking about letting the teachers arm themselves? Seems like Okla. would be on that list.ReplyCancel

From Acts 2
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
… All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine."
But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 'In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh …
Ephesians 1:13-14
In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the praise of his glory.
The Day of Pentecost story in Acts 2:1-13 describes God giving the gift of the Holy Spirit to empower witnesses to the resurrection, that is, new life in Jesus Christ.
The day, a new version of an even more ancient Jewish festival, has been characterized in Christian worship for 2,000 years in ways too numerous to cite.
On the original day, as the scriptural narrative describes, sounds from heaven, cosmic language, the rush of a mighty ruach (wind, spirit, breath) invaded the house in which the apostles gathered, and appeared to them as burning fire. Tongues of fire touched them, moving among them and gripping them.
The Holy Spirit is unseen, like the wind, which is why the Old Testament calls it ruach YHWH, "the wind, or breath, of God" (cf. John 3:8). The Spirit is the "unseenness of God" working among us, and merely discussing such an unseen divine phenomenon makes some people uncomfortable.
However, the longer tradition of the festival day includes visions of hope and newness in all the relationships and actions of human life. A conversion or transformation is the way some people describe it.
Change, whether gradual or fast and dramatic, disquiets people satisfied with the status quo. Religion is no exception to the rule and norm.
Some people see Pentecost as a day of liberation from self-absorption and selfishness, a change that allows God to work in new ways with all people capable of trust and belief.
Serving others, neighbors, friends and enemies, is the new way in the Christian stream, and Pentecost is "new creation" for that in some descriptive sources.
The book of Acts tells the story of Pentecost's new creation.
With the gift of the Spirit, all things are possible.
The Day of Pentecost, rather than being set apart, is intended as the unifier, with acts and plans for reconciling all people in the fellowship and embrace of Christ.
Holy Spirit, as the Christian tradition understands it, makes all things possible, even though, as the narrative in Acts 2 describes, some greeted that first day with sneers and skepticism, just like some people in 2013.

"I'm gonna drop a double cup on your tennis balls!"
7/10. I think this is one of your better tags but the proportions just look off to me :/ and the borders weigh it down a little IMO.
oh also, I just noticed, the render cuts off on the left :<
6.5/10 - Im not sure about wheter the proportions of the render are OK this time but Im more let down by the color scheme and BG. Colours are just dull and boring and thus the BG as well. Blending could have been done better as well. Its not easy to pick a suitable border but in all cases a 1px solid black is never gonna ruin anything. In this case however colour of the border just outlines the dull colour scheme :/

9.5/10 Absolutely love your set man. love the colors, love the unique style, just awesome. only one problem I see tho, the text Max, that text is in the wrong spot, it should've been written onto the scroll on Naruto's back, if you know what I mean.

Joe Cantrell, owner of the Gansett Island Ferry Company, has been in love with Janey McCarthy for as long as he can remember. At the same time, Janey has been dating or engaged to doctor-in-training David Lawrence. When things go horribly wrong between David and Janey, she calls her "fifth brother" Joe, one of the few people in her close circle who lives on the mainland. Janey decides a few days with Joe is just what she needs before she goes home to the island to face her parents and family with the news of her broken engagement.
It was bad enough for Joe loving Janey from afar, but having her in his house is pure torture. Will he take advantage of this opportunity to show her what they could have together? And what will Joe's best friend and Janey's protective older brother Mac have to say about it?

"Love this series."
This book is a welcome addition to the Gansett Island series and Joe and Jenny every bit as engaging as characters introduced in the previous books. I particularly enjoyed the fact that while this listen focuses on Joe and Jenny it also includes the ongoing story of other characters in the series. Unfortunately the narration is just as bad as in the previous books.
"Must be a Secret - Narrated in a Whisper"
Way too long for the story, I did not think this book would ever end,.
No. I have not rated many books below 3 stars.
There was not enough distinction in voice between the characters and the whispered voice was annoying.
Series lover
"Too much sex"
I don't think I would try another book from these authors. The story was nice, although predictable, but the sex scenes were way too detailed and unnecessary.
I like romance books but without all the detailed sex and a little bit of an unexpected story line.
I would cut the detailed sex scenes.
"Horrible Narrator!"
I almost had to stop listening more than once. Holly Fielding is the worst narrator and though Jo and Janie's story was sweet, getting past Fielding's breathy, awful delivery was really hard to do, which was a shame.
"Sweet and hot!"
Another great love story! Starts out steamy and ends that way, too! Love all the characters and that they appear in multiple books in the series. Great consistency by the author. Can't wait to listen to book 3! Gave 4 stars because the narrator sometimes stumbles on her words. 5 stars for the story!
"Great Love Story"
Second time listening - still puts a smile on my face. Janie & Joe are adorable together. And the McCarthy family is amazing!
"Sweet love story"
Such a cute love story. Boy loves girl almost all her life. Girl grows up falls for someone else. Devastated over breakup. Boy, now man, gets his chance. Sweet!
"Nice Little Love Story"
I decided to get this audiobook after finishing Maid for Love. Although each of these books can be read/listened to as stand-alone books, Fool for Love focuses on characters that I became attached to in Maid for Love. Additionally, the central characters' story in Maid for Love continues in Fool for Love. I decided ahead to only invest in these first two books of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed both audiobooks, especially Maid for love.
Say something about yourself!
"The ups and does of Joe and Janey"
I love a love story and a series that allows you to get to know a number of the characters.
The challenges and events the main characters dealt with and updates on other characters.
Lacks emotion and she does not differentiate the characters. She simply reads aloud. A disaster might be happening but you wouldn't know from the narrators voice.
I wouldn't rename.
It is the story spun by Marie Force that brings me back to the series. I do wish she would choose a different narrator.

Disappointment - No Zipper
"I was dismayed when I realized that this gorgeous pair of boots didn't include a zipper. The boot is pretty fitted along the length of the calf, so while it's easy enough to slip into, it requires a bit of work to squeeze out of.Well designed, reasonably comfortable, and very chic, but I had to take it back because it was beyond impractical to struggle with my own shoes, or ask someone else for help every time I needed to take them off."

love them
"I live in florida so my need for boots is quite low, but I love these! It took some getting used to when trying to get them on, but socks helped. After an hour or so, they do start to hurt. Someone below said it felt like walking on a block of wood, which is perfectly accurate :\ I think some insoles would help a lot as there is NO cushion on these. they are really cute and easy to walk in, but spending a lot of time in there hurts more than most heels I have!"

okay to get by...
"I love the overall look of this boot, but if you look closely, it looks cheap compared to true leather footwear. it's comfortable, but if you are looking for something to last for a while an withstand wear and weather, you may not want to venture this way."

Comments about this product:
The task is overwhelming and the video captures the TRUE nature of attempting something never tried before. From the open scene to the last photo of a new species and life, the video takes you on the journey from concept to completion one step at a time. The video, explains in details, how the creation of a new life was accomplished over several years of hard work.
I believe a few additional graphics and a final graphic summary would cement this video together as an award winning, ground breaking documentary. I have already presented this video to middle school students in grades 6 and 7. They found the material interesting and somewhat easy to follow. The students had a ton of questions at the end of the video. I suggest a teacher guide be developed, based on the film in order assist teachers in answering questions. I suggest that teachers who watch and create labs and lessons share them on line to assist students in following the complex steps taken to create the new life form.

well i think the only way that sasuke is getting out of that explotion alive is if someone saves him, it can be from "snake" or konoha's shinobis, but maybe the one who saves him is kakashi or sai the only ones that haven't appear since they left, well anyway all team's have to get to the place of the explotion so there's going to be a great fight.
deidara for sure dies but i think sasuke probably will get save by like jugo or some shit because jugo is in the forest talking to birds remember. he is probably nearby and maybe saw the giant deidara bunshin that exploded with C4 chakra in it.
All I can say is...I hope one of them dies in the next chapter. =b
I use sarcasm because I'm not close enough to strangle you.
Sasuke's not dead nor is Tobi. Deidra is dead I think either Sasuke and Tobi are going to fight or someone else is going to jump in. Or They are going to update on Naruto.
Yeah, jugo could save him or one of his team mates.
I think Deidara will die, Sasuke will be saved and i think Tobi will somehow escape too (because Tobi is a good boy)
kakashi arrives saves sasuke and tobi saves himself only for his mask to falls off
would be a funny twist

Well....It's Tuesday and the Manga will be out tomorrow. Last chance to prognosticate on Chapter 590 happenings.
Here is my guess:
Itachi made a promise to Sasuke that This Time, he'll keep his word to Sasuke, and tell him certain things, but he wants them to deal with Kabuto first. Well Kabuto's Edo Tensei has been undone and it's time for Itachi to fulfill his promise.
When Itachi said "I can still make it", He is without a doubt talking about fulfilling his promise to tell Sasuke what he wants to know, the only question is HOW?
In this manga, we have seen at least 2 examples of people being able to pass on information to others even after they themselves were deceased. Yondaime and Kushina were able to assist Naruto from beyond the grave this way. Yondaime had put their chakras inside Naruto's seal and the chakras took form of Mental energy, this allowed Naruto to speak with Yondaime/Kushina, and to ask them questions, so it wasn't just like a simple tape recording.
I believe that Itachi is going to do something similar with Sasuke. In this case, it should be even easier for him to do since Sasuke already has Itachi's Eyes, and Itachi's Chakra with the eyes, inside him. I expect that the poke Itachi is attempting is just a transfer of Mental energy from himself to Sasuke.
Of course it's not going to proceed too smoothly. Itachi is finished with trying to influence Sasuke's path, and the Fight between Sasuke and Naruto will go on. We'll just have to sit, read, and wait patiently to find out exactly how Kishimoto Sensei weaves his wonderful tale from here on out.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I messed up the merge.
Sorry. :(
I was hoping that Itachi could use a brief Genjutsu to tell Sasuke whatever he wants. I mean, if his Tsukuyomi allows someone to experience 3 days, and his Izanami allows someone to experience the same lecture dozens of times... any Genjutsu of Itachi's could allow Sasuke to receive a fair amount of information in seconds.
The forehead poke could simply transfer mental energy like last time, though. If a poke could program Sasuke's eyes to awaken Itachi's Mangekyou and use an Amaterasu, then certainly it can transfer basic mental energy (similar to all the telepathic fist-bumping we're seeing Naruto's story arcs).
I wouldn't mind if it was just a regular poke at this point, though... Sasuke seems to have found his resolve, and Itachi doesn't care to change him. I think maybe all Itachi wanted to tell Sasuke was what he already has: that one person cannot be perfect, and one must have faith in others. Also, it is wrong to live in an illusion or run away from reality by hiding behind power/jutsu. Itachi used his and Kabuto's failures as life lessons for Sasuke.

Oh how Imma love being here on July 4th (a Friday no less) commenting all day on January reveals. Beer BBQ fireworks reveals and readers pics from 11a–11p. Be there Aloha!ReplyCancel
Rolo – as far as I can see, Entys list started gathering dust the day after 'he' printed it. And the ratings started changing pretty much the day that 'the list' was printed.
But I don't know. Maybe there's people here who refer to it religiously, and have it as their screen saver?
@Tricia Shaw- that's a wonderful avi…btw.ReplyCancel
Sooooo, I was thinking. ..since July 1 is Canada Day, maybe Enty could do all the Canucklehead reveals? I know, I know, that's a lot of Beiber and Bryan Adams, but it would get them out of the way, right? Enty? What say you?!ReplyCancel
I can't handle anymore Bieber reveals 🙁ReplyCancel
We aldready had this blind last week
Its Mark walberrg while filming transformerReplyCancel
Well that was the popular guess lolReplyCancel
Thanks @rolo:))ReplyCancel
Violet its 12 hours of me Kristin TTM and whoever else making snarky comments and getting drunk. Its a must see event. The RDJ troll (Hmmmm) showed up last time and was hitting on cute girls from England.ReplyCancel
Changing guess to Channing, nice sandy, and QuickDraw McGraw with it to boot!ReplyCancel
I don't even trip on the ratings purely because I can't guess half the time unless they're easy easy. I rely on the smart people here to suss them out.
As far as the reveals just happy to have them. Anyway it's the commenters that make this place fun and entertaining.ReplyCancel
Ok great Violet Ill set aside some hot dogs and burgers and macaroni salad for you and many beers 🙂ReplyCancel
thanks @Violet..i don't feel sooo lame with my guesses now never looking at the oft-mentioned List! i'm still wrong mosta the time but now I can be wrong confidently! 😉ReplyCancel
First of all not all STD's can be controlled, think The Herp, daily meds and no guarantee that it can't be passed on. We have yet to "cure " a virus in someone who already has it. Our best hope is a vaccine to protect the healthy and that research is slow.
New antibiotics are needed and the science is not catching up with the drug resistant strains of STD's coming from all over the world.
So who knows what someone can pick-up when traveling and when you think of all the Star F–kers just waiting for their chance the possibilities are endless.
What did I miss? I'm super loaded ya'll. How can I sustain my buzz until True Blood time?
ay ay ay

Who the hell thinks all STDs can be controlled or cured? HIV kills. HPV kills.ReplyCancel
As someone who speaks to women and men about breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer not all strands of HPV kill. Infact, the majority of the the strands do not. It's a major misconception.
No one wants to speak on it because it starts getting into vaccinations and pharmaceutical companies and well we know where that goes…ReplyCancel

Connect with 20/20:
Besides the revolutionary improvements in sharpness and utility delivered by free-form lens technology in the last few years, we're also fortunate to be poised at the dawn of an era where eyewear solutions, tailored to the exact needs of an individual wearer, will become the norm instead of the exception. Let's take a look at some of the recent developments in both lens designs and coatings optimized for the digital device user:
Enhanced Single Vision Solutions
There is now a substantial evidence of how the excessive near demands made by the use of digital devices can reduce the frequency and amplitude of eye saccades, which has been correlated to decreased reading speed, comprehension and memory. The first wave of single vision lens products designed to address some of these demands feature modest plus dioptric power, in the range of 0.25D to as much as 0.80D. By providing accommodative support to help offset the demands made on our eyes by both closer fixation distances and longer durations of sustained use, these designs might be more properly placed in a new class of lens which promises anti-fatigue, improved relaxation or optimal eye synching benefits. In fact, that's just what the current offerings are called.
Essilor Anti-Fatigue: Among the first type of these lenses on the market, they feature an additional 0.60D of accommodative support. To further reduce annoying lens glare, Anti-Fatigue lenses come standard with premium Crizal anti-reflective coatings. Available in select material substrates.
Shamir Relax: Featuring 0.50D of accommodative relaxing support, Relax lenses also feature all the benefits of improved clarity possible through the sophistication of free-form lens surfaces. Available in all material substrates.
Hoya Sync: Featuring full width application of vertical aspheric lens design, Sync is available in two accommodative support levels: 0.53D - Sync 5 for youngsters, students and young adults, and 0.88D - Sync 8 for those individuals assessed to require greater support. Available in select material substrates along with atoric free-form optimization.
Tailored Progressive Solutions
Most ECPs are already aware of the present lens designs for occupational/computer use. Beyond these, some practitioners have had success customizing progressive corridor length to help computer users avoid eyestrain and uncomfortable head, shoulder and neck strain. Today, lens manufacturers are recognizing that free-form technology can allow even more tailored solutions:
Shamir In Touch: A progressive lens design which offers a tailored progressive corridor optimized for users of digital devices. Featuring a corridor gradient that rises in power 25 percent faster, In Touch delivers optimal intermediate power where users of digital devices need it most. This also provides more comfortable viewing by reducing the angle of eye depression by as much as five degrees. Available in all material substrates.
Zeiss Individual 2I and 2N: As noted, Zeiss engineers have crafted two additional Individual progressive designs, optimized for either intermediate (I) or near use (N). Available in select material substrates.
Digital Devices and Blue Light
With the increasing use of ever brighter fluorescent, LED and OLED lighting technologies, our eyes contend with increasing indoor levels of blue spectrum wavelengths. Not only proven to be more difficult for the eye to focus, blue light levels emitted from the latest digital displays also increase scatter and eye fatigue by reducing optimal contrast. Current offerings in top-tier, anti-reflective coatings have been engineered with this in mind, and it is not difficult to notice the characteristic blue reflex color of some premium offerings like Zeiss Purecoat and Essilor Crizal Sapphire UV. Special mention should be made for a new offering from Nikon, called SeeCoat Blue, which features a 10 percent overall reduction in the blue energy spectrum from 400 to 450 nm, compared to a standard, green-reflex AR.
Zeiss Gunnar Optics
Unique in the arsenal of vision products designed for the challenges of the new media, Gunnar Optics eyewear is primarily being marketed to people who are extensively using computers and digital devices on a daily basis—whether or not they have a prescription. Gunnar Optics combines several new technologies to help users with their digital devices:
Lenses featuring fractal technology: Close-fitting lenses deliver a wide, optically undistorted view, free of frame-border distractions. Combined with a wraparound profile, the close fit of Gunnar Optics helps to reduce tear evaporation. Fractal technology also provides modest amplitude of accommodative support.
Blue-filtering Amber Tint: Reduces unwanted visual scatter from excessive display and other environmental light sources.
Anti-glare Coatings: Eliminates distracting lens reflections, maximizing contrast.

We often get the question, "How do I find my family history in your holdings?" If you're lucky, someone has already compiled parts of your family history and published it. The best way to find published family histories held at the Newberry is to start with the online catalog.
In the "Search For" field, enter [surname] family. For example, enter smith family. (Note the catalog is not case sensitive.) Using the word family after the surname will help narrow the results to genealogies. Then select "Subject" from the selections in the "Search By" field. Click on the "Search" button.
A list of subject headings will be displayed. The number of items cataloged with each subject heading is shown to the left. If "Smith Family" is listed, click on that entry and a list of the library's holdings will be displayed. Click on the individual title to get the full bibliographic record.
Sometimes there are a variety of spellings for a name. In this case a "see also" notation may be displayed in the left-hand column of your initial search results. Be sure to check this out to avoid missing relevant materials.
Other ways to locate information on your family will be discussed in future posts.

Munster flank CJ Stander bagged a brace of tries to help his team to a comprehensive 31-3 Pro12 win over Glasgow on Saturday.
Munster flank CJ Stander bagged a brace of tries to help his team to a comprehensive 31-3 Pro12 win over Glasgow on Saturday.
Three tries in the first half laid the foundations for a bonus-point victory against a lacklustre Warriors outfit.
Munster headed into the match in good form, though they'd ended a run of victories with defeat at home to Scarlets a week earlier, while Glasgow were looking to bounce back from a 0-6 home reverse against Leinster.
Glasgow struck first on the night, though any early hope instilled by Duncan Weir's fourth-minute penalty was quickly dispelled by the hosts' emphatic response.
Less than five minutes later, Munster hit the front when CJ Stander pounced for his first try for the club, converted by Ronan O'Gara, and the score was followed up a quarter of an hour later by a second converted try for the hosts.
Tommy O'Donnell was the man to get over the line, breaking through the defensive line to score following good work from James Coughlan.
O'Gara again added the extras, and he was on target twice more before half-time, adding a penalty on 37 minutes, before converting Stander's second try of the evening on the stroke of half-time after the South African had shown great pace to score.
At 21-3, Glasgow had a mountain to climb in the second half if they were to salvage something from the game, while Munster appeared content to sit on their lead.
As time ticked away, it became apparent that there'd be no way back for the visitors, though Munster were able to underline their superiority with a penalty try in the final ten minutes of the match, converted by O'Gara.
The scorers:
For Munster:
Tries: Stander 2, O'Donnel, penalty try
Cons: O'Gara 4
Pen: O'Gara
For Glasgow:
Pen: Weir
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Doug Howlett (c), 13 Keith Earls, 12 James Downey, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Duncan Williams, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 CJ Stander, 5 Donnacha Ryan, 4 Donnacha O'Callaghan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 David Kilcoyne.
Replacements 16 Damian Varley 17 Wian Du Preez, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Paddy Butler, 21 Peter Stringer, 22 Ian Keatley, 23 Casey Laulala.
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Peter Horne, 11 DTH Van Der Merwe, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Henry Prygos, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 John Barclay, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Al Kellock, 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Mike Cusack, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Pat MacArthur, 17 Moray Low, 18 Gordon Reid, 19 Josh Strauss, 20 James Eddie, 21 Niko Matawalu, 22 Scott Wight, 23 Byron McGuigan.
