Why Leading a "Balanced" Life Can Derail Your Plans for Greatness
Apr 24, 2018
Idyllic Notions of Work-Life Balance For some reason, experts tell us we should have this thing called "work-life balance." At one time, I strived for balance, too, and then I realized it was a losing battle. It also bored me. Work-life balance is an idyllic notion and ends up creating feelings of inadequacies when we can't make it work in our own lives. Balance infers equal weight is given to all areas of our life – equal in amount, significance, and value. Here's the problem with that —

City Guides >
220 volts, 50Hz; European-style two-pin and round
three-pin plugs are used.
Hebrew and Arabic are the official languages of Israel.
Most of the population also speak English.
Tipping in Israel, according to the level of service, is
expected (unless a service charge is added to the bill).
Travellers in Israel should maintain a high level of vigilance
and keep up to date with developments. The risk of terrorist
attacks remains high and travellers to the region, including
Jerusalem, need to exercise caution particularly around locations
specifically targeted by attacks in the past such as bars,
nightclubs, markets and buses. Suicide bombers have targeted
crowded public areas resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries
over the years, and although foreigners have not been specific
targets, many have been caught up in the attacks. Check with local
embassies for the latest travel advisory notices. All travel to the
Gaza Strip and the West Bank should be avoided. There is also a
continuing threat of kidnap of foreign nationals in the Gaza Strip
and West Bank.
Israel is a largely religious society and religious customs
should be respected. Indecent behaviour is not tolerated and
offenders will be arrested and fined heavily or imprisoned. Care
should be taken not to photograph any military or police personnel
or installations, and visitors should be discreet about taking
photographs in Jewish Orthodox areas and of Jewish Orthodox people.
It is advisable to carry official identification at all times.
The majority of business in Israel is centred in Tel Aviv. Dress
tends to be less formal than in the USA and Europe, but business
people tend to dress in suits for important meetings or
presentations so formal attire is recommended. Women should dress
more conservatively, especially in strictly religious areas.
Business cards are usually exchanged, though with little formality
involved. Meetings often do not begin promptly and much time can be
given to socialising. Business hours are usually from 8.30am to
5pm, from Sunday to Thursday, and on Friday mornings. Sundays are
regarded as a normal business day.
The international access code for Israel is +972. The outgoing
code is 00 (not from public phones) followed by the relevant
country code (e.g. 0044 for the United Kingdom). There are other
outgoing codes depending on which network is used to dial out on.
City/area codes are in use, e.g. (0)2 for Jerusalem. Public phones
are card operated and are readily available, and instruction cards
state whether to dial 012, 013 or 014 for overseas. The local
mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements
with most international operators; otherwise mobile phones can
easily be rented. Internet cafes are available in the main towns
and tourist areas all over Israel.
Travellers to Israel do not have to pay duty on 250 cigarettes
or 250g of other tobacco products; 2 litres wine and 1 litre of
other types of alcoholic beverages; 250ml of eau de cologne or
perfume; and gifts to the value of US$150 for residents and US$125
for non-residents. Prohibited items include fresh meat and fresh
fruit (especially from South Africa).

In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it's imperative for California to have more definitive knowledge about the seismic hazards near the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. An additional fault in the area was only recently discovered, and more seismological information is needed about existing faults. Technology has improved tremendously since the nuclear plant began operating in 1985, and license renewal for its two reactors — a process that takes years — shouldn't go forward without this information.
But what if the research itself causes terrible environmental harm? That's what the staff of the California Coastal Commission says would happen if plant owner Pacific Gas & Electric Co. is allowed to proceed with its proposal to blast underwater air cannons every 15 seconds in Morro Bay, for about 12 days a year over four years, to produce three-dimensional images of geologic faults. PG&E needs the commission's permission to carry out the sonic imaging, but the staff is recommending against it.
Thousands of marine mammals, with their sensitivity to underwater sounds, would be affected in unknown ways by the disturbance, a staff report says. Of special concern are Morro Bay's 2,000 harbor porpoises, a distinct population that remains in that area and doesn't interbreed with other harbor porpoises. If they were driven from the bay by the cannons, their ability to survive would be uncertain. In addition, the blasts would kill millions of fish and other forms of sea life.

Jim Crane has purchased Camp Strake
Conroe officials won't confirm the buyer, but have said the development will be similar to Market Street in The Woodlands, and could include the new Astros Triple-A ballpark.
Conroe Mayor Webb Melder said previously:
Something big is about to happen over there.
The linked article:
As for the development including a ball park, Calhoun did not have confirmation but said he was aware of previous talks about the Houston Astros potentially locating a Triple-A team in Montgomery County, specifically the Camp Strake property. Calls to the Houston Astros and Crane's office at Crane Capital Advisors were not returned before press time.

Meanwhile word came out yesterday that the Astros and Blue Jays have almost finalized their move to share Spring Training facilities on Florida's East Coast, near Crane's home, in Palm Beach Gardens.

I'll say it again: I don't get why the AAA team has to be in the Houston suburbs. Doesn't it make more sense to be in a place like Austin or New Orleans, even Oklahoma City?
Also, I will be incredibly upset if Jim Crane buys the Zephyrs and moves them to this site or anywhere else.
Not that it matters what I think.

I would love it if the Astros moved a team to the Conroe area. It would be basically in my own backyard. The concept has supposedly worked for other teams. I cannot speak for everyone else but as for me...to be able to watch my local pro teams talent up close and personal would be awesome. It would connect the fans to the teams future talent before it arrives and draws a personal connections to the fans. Not to mention, it would be cut down on some travel costs for the Astros execs and players. Plus, players could get called up to an hour or two before games if needed. The Conroe, Woodlands area would support the heck out of the team. The area is a baseball factory. Plus a ton of money and sponsorship possibilities blanket the area. I can appreciate fans of the Zephyrs not wanting to lose their team. It would stink if it happened to me. If it ends up happening though I would be happy for me. Hopefully Zephyrs fans would get a new team. Go Astros!

About brenadine
I can not borrow your car just to go down to the 7 11 and back because it's old and you've parked it on a public street.

"creationism is impermissible in state schools"
and yet it still happens everyday in schools across the nation, while religious texts drive women's health issues in public debate and the public secular definition of marriage.
So, while we're not yet Pakistan - we are far from safe from imposed religious views. Don't get me wrong, religion plays apart in people's moral and ethical compass and shouldn't be banned from public discussions - but trust me, it's begning to feel a lot like 1692 around here.
Reason why the suit was dropped is likely because the statue is in the public domain...
"copy" was installed in 1994
Original scultpture was unveiled in 1913 in Denmark
Even if copyright was restored in URAA, they would be required to file a NIE, since the town was using it before the URAA agreement and the 1994 sculptor would have relied on the 1913 sculpture being in the public domain. The town would have a 12-month grace period from the NIE to remove or negotiate with copyright holder under URAA rules for derivative works.
At any rate, generally, for works created before 1978 the copyright term is only 95 years from publication if copyright is restored under URAA, so 1913+95=2008 so the thing has probably been in public domain in US for a year now...

Diane Pivirotto: Energy jobs key to the future
Connecticut has a unique opportunity to rekindle its momentum toward job growth and economic leadership in the Northeast.
In October, Gov. Dannel Malloy unveiled a new draft comprehensive energy strategy that promises to promote energy efficiency and facilitate access to clean-burning natural gas for 275,000 more Connecticut residents by 2020. The strategy suggests the initiatives are expected to create 10,000 jobs or more.
This is a wonderful opportunity for Connecticut. But in order to fully capitalize on it, we must have a ready work force with the skills and education we'll need to thrive as energy leaders.
There is no better time to consider an energy career. Work force development is a concern in any industry, but it's particularly pressing among energy companies.
In the coming years, large percentages of experienced workers -- including many here at UIL Holdings and its utilities -- are expected to retire. The weak economy has caused many workers to temporarily postpone retirement and career changes, but that only adds to the mounting crunch we expect in the near future.
How big is the challenge? The Center for Energy Workforce Development, a consortium of U.S. energy companies and associations, found in its 2011 survey that nearly 62 percent of employees in the energy industry have the potential to retire or leave for other reasons over the next decade. Moreover, our energy work force continues to age: The survey found that the average age of the energy work force has increased to 46.1, while the number of employees age 53 and above has increased by 5 percent.
Meanwhile, demand for certain energy job categories remained strong. For example, the number of engineers employed in the industry rose 3.6 percent between 2009 and 2011, the survey found.
The company where I work, UIL Holdings Corp., works to meet these challenges in partnership with organizations such as Connecticut Energy Workforce Development Consortium. We employ a variety of strategies, such as identifying specific shortage areas -- engineers and project managers, for example -- and developing best practices for attracting, training and retaining employees.
UIL and its subsidiaries, The United Illuminating Co., The Southern Connecticut Gas Co., Connecticut Natural Gas Corp. and Berkshire Gas Co., also work with partners in academia, government and industry to provide opportunities for future energy workers.
We offer internships, scholarships, mentoring programs and educational outreach efforts designed to attract and hold on to future energy employees and leaders. We're proud that our partner, INROADS, Inc., which provides internship opportunities to underserved youth in business and industry, chose The United Illuminating Co. for its 2012 Conversion Award for providing regular jobs to former interns placed at UI.
There's more work to be done, and it starts in the schools. If Connecticut is to thrive as an energy leader, we must make sure our children start with a solid grounding in math and science in the primary and secondary schools. We must continue to invest in our vocational and technical schools, too, and ensure that they are producing graduates with the skills and knowledge that are most in demand. Finally, we must ensure that our community colleges and publicly-funded universities have robust programs in high-demand fields such as engineering.
In closing, we at UIL encourage everyone to think of the jobs and opportunities the energy industry has the potential to create for tomorrow's line workers, pipe fitters, technicians and engineers. Whether you're a parent or a teacher, a state representative or just a civic-minded voter, you can play a role in steering today's youth toward tomorrow's energy future.

Diane Pivirotto is vice president for human resources, compliance and administration with UIL Holdings Corporation.

Supt. Dan Goldman has announced that he is appointing Erin Lolich as the interim chief academic officer of the Hood River County School District for the upcoming school year.
Lolich's appointment will be formally presented to the Hood River County School District Board of Directors on Aug. 14.
The district advertised for the position of chief academic officer back in May and again in July of this year after Penny Grotting resigned from the position (formerly director of curriculum) to take a position as assistant superintendent for the Columbia Gorge Educational Service District.
The district received more than 20 applications and after a committee made up of principals, confidential staff, certified staff and administrators interviewed candidates from the pool, Goldman decided that at this time the district would be best served appointing an interim chief academic officer for the upcoming school year and to resume recruitment activities during the year. Goldman called Lolich "a high caliber, proven educational leader."
Goldman and Lolich had worked together at Goldman's previous district, Tigard-Tualatin School District, where Lolich served as associate director of curriculum and instruction for the past three years.
She was responsible for leading a transition to the Common Core State Standards, the integration of $8 million of bond-funded innovative technologies into classroom instruction, leading curriculum adoptions in literacy, math and science, directing services to English language learners and economically disadvantaged students, and implementing excellent professional development for licensed and administrative personnel.
Prior to this work, Lolich was the project director for the Oregon Response to Intervention program from 2006-2010 where she trained more than 30 Oregon school districts (including the Hood River County School District) to scale up effective literacy instruction, data systems, collaborative teaming, research-based interventions and instructional leadership practices.
Lolich has served as a principal, literacy specialist and special education teacher in Tigard-Tualatin and Colorado. She holds a bachelor's degree in education from Gonzaga University and a master's degree in educational administration from Portland State University.

"I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you are cutting butter." -Count Basie
By: Linnea Crowther
5 years ago
Count Basie knew how to swing. From his early years learning piano from his mother to his teen years playing during parties and silent movies, through his decades on the road as the leader of the preeminent big bands, right up until his death April 26, 1984, Basie was a fantastic musician and innovator, always experimenting with ways to keep his big band music on the cutting edge.
Basie played with some of the greats over the years – Billie Holiday, Lester Young, Walter Page, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett – and his sound was always fresh and exciting. Au courant, too – as when he recorded "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit that Ball?" in 1949, the year when the famous No. 42 improved his game immensely and broke the color barrier in the All-Star Game.
Basie knew what his band's formula for greatness was. "I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you are cutting butter," Basie wrote in his autobiography. And, man, could Count Basie swing...
"Swingin' the Blues"
"All of Me"
And Basie's signature song, "One O'Clock Jump."

Tamara Sevcik is the public relations chairperson for Leavenworth Rotary Club 1621.
Tamara Sevcik is the public relations chairperson for Leavenworth Rotary Club 1621.
1. Can you tell us about the Leavenworth Rotary Club 1621's upcoming event, the 3rd annual "Stampin' Out Polio."
The 3rd Annual Motorcycle Ride will be on Saturday, Sept. 14.
The ride will kick off at 9 a.m. and registrations will be accepted from 9 a.m. until noon. Kick-off location is Worth Harley Davidson (off of Tiffany Springs (I-29 towards KC)). Additional details may be obtained from our Rotary Facebook page (Rotary Club of Leavenworth, Kansas) or by calling 913-240-7132.
2. Why did the club choose to focus on polio? Since it's not often in the news, do you think many people are unaware that it still exists?
Although not in the news, polio still exists in a few countries and the Rotary Organization as a whole has worked very hard to continue to eradicate polio once and for all. Our current status report shows that polio cases have declined rapidly since 1985, but the fight isn't over.
Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, and for as little as US$0.60, a child can be protected against the virus for life. If we don't finish the fight right now, more than 10 million children under the age of five could be paralyzed by polio in the next 40 years.
3. What other charitable activities do members of the Leavenworth Rotary Club 1621 take part in?
Each year Leavenworth Rotarians support many events. An on-going event (spring - fall), we clean up 20th Street Parkway and the 10th Avenue Park (near Warren Middle School).
Also a continuing effort, Meals-on-Wheels meal delivery in support of our local United Way and donation collection in support of our local Catholic Charities/Salvation Army food lockers. Of late, our local Rotary club has supported a recent Community Blood Drive in conjunction with our Rotaract group from University of Saint Mary.
This past February Rotary held its first annual Over-the-Counter Medication Drive in support of our local Saint Vincent Clinic.
In May, many members of Rotary supported the Half Trails Marathon serving at a Water Point. In June (and annually), we also played a big part in the success of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life where our Rotary team earned thousands of dollars of pledges in support of the fight against cancer.
In July we support the "Christmas in July" bell ringing effort in support of the local Salvation Army. We are also involved with our local schools, supporting Back Pack Buddies Project, we provide dictionaries to every third-grade student in all area schools and support the elementary schools vitamin program.
We also support other Rotarian events such as the Parade of Heroes hosted by the Village West Rotary Club.
Upcoming events that Rotary will support are Project Winterize, Haunted Havens (hosted by the City of Leavenworth), the annual Veterans' Day Pancake breakfast (where all veterans eat for free), the annual Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner hosted by the Organization for International Spouses and Sponsors and Bell Ringing in support of our local Salvation Army during the Christmas holidays.
In addition to events that we support, we provide scholarships to graduating seniors, grants to local non-profit organizations and others in need and myriad other community support on an as-needed basis. We also stay busy throughout the year with many programs in support of our youth such as Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, EARLYACT (grade school), INTERACT (middle school) and ROTARACT (college). Our local Rotarians stay very busy with practically an event every month.
4. How will funds be collected for the event and where will they go?
A business may sponsor the ride with a tax-deductible donation for $25 - $500 and riders are asked to make a donation of $20 when they register; passengers are asked to donate $10.
There will be trophies awarded to the top-three finishers; all riders receive a commemorative pin, a goodie bag and be eligible for door prizes.
Monies raised will primarily be used in the support of Rotary International's Eradication of Polio effort.
In addition, funds will be used to support smaller local community programs and projects focused on supporting youth development.
In addition, each year we also provide five $1,000 academic college scholarships to local area high school seniors, sponsor two deserving high school applicants to the June week-long Rotary Youth Leadership Academy at KU, and hold a two-day Leadership Conference for local area middle school students, purchase dictionaries for all of our third-grade elementary students, support the local elementary school vitamin program and offer EARLYACT to local area fourth-graders that focuses on fairness, ethical standards, and an ideal of service.
5. What should bikers do who are interested in taking part in the ride and how can non-bikers help out?
Bikers just need to show up at registration on Saturday, register and ride; it is supposed to be a beautiful day (sunny and 79 degree temperatures)! Non-riders may mail tax-deductible monetary donations to Rotary Club 1621 Foundation, PO Box 605, Leavenworth, KS 66048. All donations will be greatly appreciated and, to those of you who have already supported our quest to eradicate polio and support other community programs, many, many thanks!
Interested in joining in to support our efforts as a Rotarian, please contact our membership chair, Mark Gerges, at email@example.com.
Rotary members meet every Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. at the Riverfront Community Center.

|Running for cover in Beer Sheva today as long-range rockets were fired
into the city by Gaza's terrorists [Image Source]
Unstemmed rocket attacks have been conducted by one or another of the terrorist groups based in Hamas-controlled Gaza at all hours of the day and night. While it's tempting to look at the absence of deaths on the Israeli side, the reality is any one of these rockets and mortars can easily have exacted the heaviest of prices. It's our great fortune that this did not happen today.
Based on eye-witness reports we collected during the day (Sunday), here is a summary of the regions in which the Tzeva Adom missile warning system detected an incoming attack or (where Tzeva Adom did not operate for whatever reason) actual rocket-born explosions occurred:
08:50: Sha'ar Hanegev
12:55: S'dot Negev
13:00: Hof Ashkelon
14:00: Be'er Sheva. Israel National News reported that two explosions, possibly three, were heard in the city about 90 seconds after the siren sounded the alert for residents to head for the shelters. At least one, and possibly two, of the incoming missiles - believed to be long-range GRAD Katyushas - were intercepted and destroyed by the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system.
Times of Israel reports that more than 70 rockets in total have been fired into Israel since (and presumably including) Saturday night.
"On Sunday morning, four Israelis were wounded by shrapnel when Palestinian terrorists fired a barrage of rockets at the Sha'ar Hanegev region. Two people in their fifties were wounded when a rocket scored a direct hit on a car, while a third woman was hurt as a rocket fell near a school in a nearby town. Two residents of Sderot were treated for shock. All of the casualties were evacuated to hospitals in Beersheba and Ashkelon. Hamas's armed wing announced that it was actively participating in the fighting by firing mortar shells at IDF positions around the Gaza Strip... Television reports noted that recent cross-border fire from Gaza had included highly accurate Katyusha rockets, capable of doing far more damage than previous rocket fire."TOI summarizes the day's events with this fatalistic commentary under the title "The approach of an unwanted war in Gaza | Neither Israel nor Hamas nor Egypt seems to wish it, but as rocket fire intensifies again, a deeper conflict looms":
Israel doesn't want war. Hamas doesn't want war. Egypt doesn't want war. And yet this weekend's bloodshed on the Israel-Gaza border, along with the increase in rocket fire, has brought all sides to the brink...

Hill Street Blues Classic TV Show
Starting each episode with an early morning roll call, Hill Street Blues became the most original and critically acclaimed police drama of all time.
Hill Street Blues Fan Tributes15 Jim Ryan from Manchester England: I was hooked on Hill Street Blues from the first episode. It was at that time the best thing on television. Steven Bochco has produced some great shows but Hill Street Blues is still the best.
14 Julie Albright from San Fransisco, CA: Hill Street Blues was a good show. I remember Hill Street Blues when I was a girl. I wanted to be Fay Furillo. I have a copy of the "Hill Street Blues" theme song. I listened to TV theme songs when I was a little girl. One of my favorite actors is Michael Conrad. I also like "Hawaii Five-O". I like "Hawaii 5-0" and "Hill Street Blues".
13 Cauthon from Deering, NH: One of the few times I watched Hill Street Blues, somebody came into the Captain's office and picked up a container from the desk, shook it and heard it rattle, and asked "Hard candy?" The Captain replied, "No. Esterhaus", and the man put the container right back down. Later they scattered the ashes in the street. I always wondered whether those were really the ashes of the actor who played Esterhaus, since it would have been reasonable for his friends on the show to do that.
12 Four Dinners from Oldham, Lancashire: I actually used to leave the pub early on Friday nights to get home and watch it. Even stood up a date so as not to miss an episode. Got Series 1 and 2 on DVD and regularly watch an episode or two to chill out. (Harvey from Canada - I think you mean Mimi Kuzyk who played Detective Patsy Mayo?)
There's never been a show like it.
There's an interesting set of interviews on YouTube with Daniel Travanti who talks about his character of Frank Furillo.
Here's hoping series 3 to 7 come out one day on DVD.
Let's be careful out there....
or if you prefer....
Let's do it to them before they do it to us.
11 Adele from Scotland: Hill Street Blues is one of my Favourite Shows of the eighties. I have been watching the Re-runs on More 4 and enjoy the Nostalga. Great Show..............
10 Harvey from canada: I like the dark haired, smoking, sexy actress that was always suducing one of the officers.
Low raspy voice. She always wore low revealing black blouses.
I have been trying to get her picture and name.
Cannot locate through searches of your show.
I guess she was a guest.
9 judy from plymouth, uk: I started watching it again on More Four recently and I am as hooked on it now as I was back in the eighties. My favourite charachter is Larue (always in trouble) and my favourite moment was when he and Washington put the fake crocodile down the sewer. Absolute cracker!! Best cop show ever.
8 Ramona from Houston: Hill Street is a absolute prolog to NYPD Blue. Its sharp and edgy. It shows a great balance between the professional and private lives of the characters. Stephen Bochco is the best!!!
7 billy from phoenix: i like hill street blues because it teaches us about our way of life on the streetsstrets because thats the way things are in the world today rethst
6 Rodell Banks from california: I have never been so swept into a program. Only Miami Vice moved me to similiar loyalty. Bobby Hill and Renko getting shot in the very first shot literally and spiritually left me starving for answers. More than a passing knowledge of several of the stars only sunk the hook in deeper. Betty Thomas will always take my thoughts back to the old days of the Danny Thomas show even though she may not be related. Ed Marinaro brings back the days of watching the NFL. Mike Warren guest appearance on the White Shadow reminds me he actually played basketball in college, I believe it was UCLA. So many went on to other shows; greater parts and awards. Thank You so much!!!!
5 frank Imbilli from oceanside, CA: I loved this show. Last nite
on NCIS there was this actress
who was the girlfriend of
Jon Cypher on the show. Does
anyone know her name? She is
still a looker. Her name was
Ginger on NCIS. Can't find it
on the NCIS program description. Thanks, fbi
4 john sichenze from brooklyn: One of my favorite actresses is Veronica Hill.
John Sichenze
3 Andrew G from Merseyside: Hill Street Blues was a large part of my High School childhood. A few memories always stuck in my mind, the pouring of Phil Esterhaus ashes in the epicentre of the Hill, Howard Hunter's constant accidental destruction of the stations windows and Mick Belker bursting out of a wall in the final ever episode. It's such a pity that the show isn't on any more, there are a lot of later season episodes I haven't seen in a long time. The show was funny, intellectual and for it's time groundbreaking in the use of a large cast and ongoing storylines. Your kind, my kind, human kind.
2 Peter Martin from Bangor, Northern Irleland: HSB was very formative for me in my early teens. I wanted to be Frank Furrillo..definately could have chosen a worse role model. Brillantly scripted and tackling real social and ethical issues. Whilst the 80's may have been false in every other way at least HSB is something out of our childhood we can be proud of. Favourite moment - whenever JD finally goes to alcohol anon and meets Frank at the meeting.
1 giulio robertson from brighton: Hill Street Blues,its one of the few TV shows that hits a nerve in me, it takes you through the up"s and downs of everyday life on the hill,frank is allways so cool, and i love joyce davenport "who doesn't" , it also gives you the feel of the 80"s ' seems like it was only yesterday, its one of my top ten shows of this lifetime, & its well worth staying up until 4 am & im looking forward to saturday 22nd, hill st blues day, what a great show.

|Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3
| (ナルト-激闘忍者大戦! 3, Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3)
|Video game info
|Playable on
|Naruto: Clash of Ninja
|Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2
|Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4
|Release Date
|November 20, 2004
Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3 is the third instalment of the Gekitō Ninja Taisen series.
The game covers the events of the anime from the Konoha Crush to the Search for Tsunade. This instalment introduces the ability to change forms during combat. In addition, players can now use a team of three characters against an opponent. This game keeps the shop feature from Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2.
Also new are "Crisis Specials". Characters now receive an indicator for hitting 40% health, and in that mode can access certain new special attacks. For example, Naruto's Rasengan replaces his Naruto Uzumaki Combo neutral special upon hitting low health.
Yet another new feature for characters with alternate forms are transformations via their down specials, making previous characters become a single one. For example, Naruto in his crisis mode can now transform into his Demon Fox Form in battle, while Sasuke and Kakashi can turn on and off their Sharingan (though only turning it on has a chakra cost). The system also does away with the counter hit function in the first two games.
The content in this game would be reprised in America on the Wii in the form of Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution, only with alternate touches.
Playable Characters
- Naruto Uzumaki (Nine-Tails form)
- Sasuke Uchiha (Sharingan)
- Sakura Haruno
- Kakashi Hatake (Sharingan)
- Iruka Umino
- Rock Lee
- Neji Hyūga
- Might Guy
- Shikamaru Nara
- Ino Yamanaka
- Kiba Inuzuka
- Hinata Hyūga
- Gaara
- Kankurō
- Orochimaru
- Haku
- Zabuza Momochi
- Mizuki
- Akamaru
- Karasu
- Tenten
- Chōji Akimichi
- Shino Aburame
- Temari
- Jiraiya
- Tsunade
- Third Hokage
- Anko Mitarashi
- Itachi Uchiha
- As of this game in the series, Kakashi will have his health slowly drain when his Sharingan is active.
- Anko fights with an alternate stance system in this game series where she lies down on her back in a relaxed state, giving her access to alternate combo strings. Pressing the grab button during this will return her to normal stance.
- Hayate Gekkō's Japanese voice acts as the announcer. In the localised reprisal Clash of Ninja Revolution, his English voice follows suit by proxy.

Few galas can boast as many lights, cameras and action as the Houston Police Foundation gala.
Held last year at the Landry's private airplane hangar at Hobby Airport, the sixth annual soiree returned to its original location at the River Oaks mansion owned by Landry's CEO Tilman Fertitta and wife Paige. The lights started blocks away, as parked police cruisers flashed without abandon, and continued up the palatial home's driveway to the party's entrance. With so many of Houston's finest on the premises, it would've been hard for the gala's more than 650 attendees to feel anything less than well-protected.
The Fertittas' backyard was transformed for the occasion, with a sea of white tables (topped with single blue neon-lit stars) wrapping around the Vegas-style pool, and David Caceres Jazz Band performing live tunes. Food stations — think Mexican fare like fajitas in one area, grilled lobster in another — dotted the property, as did interactive demonstrations by various sects of the Houston Police. Each offered guests an opportunity to experience techniques, equipment and training utilized by the force — for example, partygoers could learn to operate a taser gun, take target practice with the SWAT team, clip a bomb wire and negotiate a laser entrapment course.
After guests took their seats, per the event's custom, the "show" began: a true-to-life scenario involving a mock robbery and shoot-out, during which HPD rescued "victims" and searched for the perps, demonstrating the use of equipment such as medical trauma kits and tactical vests that the Houston Police Foundation helped fund. Among the show's highlights: two police helicopters flying in to spotlight the on-the-run criminals. "Quite a dog a pony show," channel 13 broadcaster and emcee Dave Ward said before the program began.
Meanwhile, co-hosts Tilman Fertitta and Chief of Police Charles McClelland addressed the crowd, with McClelland explaining the importance of the foundation's funding: "The city gives us what we need — but there are some things that would be nice to have." The evening's honoree, Mayor Annise Parker, also stepped up to the podium, to thank supporters and to receive a crystal replica of an HPD handgun.
"Being at the hangar was a lot of fun," said Parker, "but being back at the house is outstanding."
Following the extravagant fireworks display finale, which capped the backyard bash with a bang — several bangs, actually — it was tough to disagree. The fundraiser raised more than $650,000, which will be used to provide equipment and training for Houston Police Department.
Spotted in the crowd: dinner chair Laura Ward; honorary chairs Lisa and Robert Miller; foundation executive director Charlene Floyd; Tina and Dave Strickland; Maggie and Don Henderson; Edna Meyer Nelson; Kolja and Roxanne Rockov; Wayne Smith and Denny Lyons; Joy and Vic Fertitta; Downtown District's Bob Eury; Kristina and Paul Somerville; Alice and Keith Mosing; Dancie Perugini Ware and Jim Ware; and Maria Bush.

Babies With Bath Water:
Habs Page Turning Often Hurts
Perhaps he's the first of many to sign come tomorrow, but his signing represents a little disappointment for the Habs organization.
Andrei, after all, was a player heavily invested in -- in both time and money. While he never quite cleared the all-important 30-goal hurdle, they had clearly found an NHL quality shooter with the ability to put up 20-25 markers a year when they selected him in the infamous 2003 draft.
But last season, with the team in the doldrums, that just wasn't enough. A sometimes delusional GM shipped him off for a wave goodbye to replace him with the "BIG" Rene Bourque. Now we read reports of how the team will probably be OK if Rene Bourque can just get back to his 27 goal form from Calgary. My goodness, the symmetry of the hypocrisy is charming here.
Andrei Kostitsyn by my eye has a far better chance at getting to Rene Bourque's mystical 27-goal form than the man in the recovery room. I don't feel I'm doing an injustice to the new guy after only watching him for 40 games -- he was often worse than his pathetic statistics said he was. Furthermore, we don't have to factor in the loss of Jarome Iginla into predictions for the former Hab, merely the loss of Mathieu Darche.
The Habs, of course, could have signed Andrei back -- especially after they heard that fitness king Bourque tore muscles doing abs (or something). But they did not.
And why not?
Well, perhaps the lockout is one reason, but that didn't stop them signing the second coming of Georges Laraque for four seasons. I think it's another case of the organization determined to turn a page. "we've tried Andrei" they say, "now we must move on."
This attitude in one form or another has hurt the team deeply over the years. Whether it be the variant where those who party must be banished (even in their prime) like Chelios, Corson, Ribeiro and others. The one where a word mis-spoken can never be taken back (ask Cammalleri, Roy). Or the version where you end up with Scott Gomez instead of Saku Koivu. You can call it throwing out the baby with the bath water
The management comes out of the worst positional finish in living memory determined to make a change, but is their stubborn determination getting in the way of good sense?
In reality this contract signing today means nothing for the Habs. They stare down the chasm of non-season knowing that they are a bad team, barely improved (if at all) and that no one signing from September leftovers would alter the course. Whether the season is lost to lawyers bickering or squandered leads remains to be seen. I just hope that when the seasons where winning is on the wind again that the new management team can think about retaining some of the useful babies in their sullied bath water.

New commenting system I see...not embedded any more?ReplyDelete
Kostitsyn is such an easy sign for a 20 something goal scorer who lays big hits and delivers nice assists. I don't know what type of ridiculous pro-scouting the team had going on, but any look at Bourque should have set off alarms: "red alert, Bourque is in all ways inferior to Kostitsyn...except he fights". Maybe the last caveat was reason enough to get him on the team. Who knows with those idiots that were in charge.
The old commenting system was going to be obsolete in two weeks, so doing some maintenance. Will see what we ned up with. Blogger for now...ReplyDelete
They also "tried" Michel Therrien, yet here we are. I personally would rather a second kick at AK.ReplyDelete

As i have said multiple times, love the Squid trade, Bourgue will be fine, Holland is good prospect, 2nd round pick dosent hurt neither and clering a sub-20 goal scoring $6million dollar boy is just sweet.
Kostitsyn, was only an underachiever to those who expected way too much and i was on fence about re-signing or not.
I see an improved team with numerous key players not rehabbing this fall (Gorges-Markov-Eller-Leblanc), not a contender for sure but improved (inknow i know cant do much worse than last year).
But i am happy with almost every move Bergevin has made, so am a bit more optimistic than yourself and future is farily bright.

Utah Legislature has outgrown old system of reviewing bills
March 16, 2013
Park City's representative to the Utah Legislature, Kraig Powell, is a brave man. He has said aloud (and in print) what many others know but refuse to admit: that during the last hectic days of the General Session, many bills are passed without adequate review.
Powell's statement is not news to members of the public who are accustomed to last-minute surprises emanating from Capitol Hill as the session closes, but coming from a legislator it is especially alarming.
Even veteran politicos become frustrated as bills get hung up in committees, are rewritten, passed back and forth between the House and Senate, and then are called up for votes without debate.
In a recent interview, Powell noted that he voted in favor of a bill before he realized the language had been changed. If he had been aware of that fact, he says, he would have changed his vote.
And Powell is not only a veteran at the legislature, he is also a lawyer with loads of experience in reading complicated legalese. Imagine the freshmen representatives or senators who spend most of the year practicing dentistry or tending a dairy ranches. They can't possibly make fully informed votes on every bill that comes barreling at them in the last week of the session.
Recommended Stories For You
Utah takes pride in having a part-time legislature made up of regular citizens who are, we hope, motivated by a sense of civic duty rather than becoming career politicians. That's admirable, but offers its own set of challenges, particularly when those regular folks are faced with making hundreds of complex decisions in a 45-day window. The result, too often, is that some of the laws they pass have unintended consequences that do more harm than good.
The rush to judgment also sidelines the public. Many Utahns follow the legislature because they have a passionate interest in a particular issue. Gun laws, public lands, education, gay rights, alcohol rules and land-use regulations were all under intense scrutiny during the most recent session. But late this week, it was almost impossible to follow the latest iterations of those proposed new laws.
Powell is right. The current process needs to be revamped. One solution might be to break the session into two parts – one for introducing bills and one for voting on them, with a reasonable study break in between that would allow legislators to poll their constituents and get a better understanding of the laws themselves.

About Antoine Renard
Antoine blatantly hits a raw nerve
"I often use catastrophic scenarios as a basis for my work."
Berlin-based French artist, Antoine Renard, is often drawn to inspirations underlined by destruction and paranoia. His most recent fascinationm, as part of this running theme, is the series of Tianjin blasts that shook the landscape in September 2015. Renard channels much of this raw energy into spatial and digital works, all of which convey intensity and raw energy. Whether it is wrapping raw meat around a fluorescent tube or skydiving chunks of pork, he is concerned by the relationship between space, body and images. Renard created a series of three digital prints for Absolut Art, as part of a study that looks at the scans of new born babies.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Friday, June 14, 2013
Lorraine Fox: "The attempt is what it's all about, the end result becomes meaningless."
In the Winter 1967 issue of Famous Artists magazine, Lorraine Fox, who had recently joined the Guiding Faculty of the Famous Artists School, was interviewed about her career as a professional illustrator. Here in Part 3 of the interview Fox talks about her relationship with husband and fellow illustrator, Bernie D'Andrea and living the life of an artist...
Famous Artists magazine: How do you cope with housekeeping and, at the same time, work so hard at painting and commercial illustration and teach as well?
Lorraine Fox: The work interferes a great deal with my home life and my social life. I haven't had a vacation in two years. I work all the time, even weekends.
I have very little time for closet cleaning. Gracie Allen once said that after she retired she would finally straighten her drawers and clean the closets. I feel that way. I have a cleaning woman once a week but the rest we do ourselves. I happen to have a unique husband. He helps a great deal. He's willing to to do more but I don't want him to do things like the dishes. He's a magnificent cook because he comes from Italian background. His father cooked and he learned how and he's very good.
But that bothers me. It takes too much of his time. When we both have deadlines and he's pressed and I'm pressed, we sometimes don't eat until eleven at night.
FA: Does it help, living with another artist? Do you feel freer, more productive?
Fox: At this point in my life I couldn't live with anybody except an artist or someone like my husband. I don't think anybody except another artist would tolerate me.
You get older and you decide, "My God, the time is closing in and if I'm ever going to do anything I'd better start. The small scratch I make is so meaningless, at least I can try to do more."
It gives me a reason for being an artist. It is a never-ending search.
I am far from being the kind of draftsman I would like to be. The struggle is what keeps you alive - the struggle is important, not the end result. The end result becomes meaningless.
The attempt is what it's all about. The hope that maybe it can become better.
* Many thanks to Matt Dicke for providing the scans of the Lorraine Fox interview pages from the Winter 1967 issue of Famous Artists magazine being presented this week. Thanks to Heritage Auctions for allowing me to use scans from their archives.

New work-in-progress titled "Rose"Posted by Tanya Wheeler Varga
Hey everyone, :)
I thought I'd post a work-in-progress here that I started.
I took a little free time today to paint a practice portrait trying out a new Photoshop brush that I created.
I'm happy with the way it's coming along so far though it still needs a lot of work. I may finish it later in the week.
Thanks for visiting :)

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
This article deals with understanding the phrase "meat offered to idols" in two of the letters that the Lord Jesus addressed to the seven churches. Dr. Charles A. Kennedy has set forth, in my opinion, the best explanation for the phrase "meat offered to idols." The phrase should be understood as a memorial meal for the dead that sometimes degenerates into an immoral affair. If this understanding is correct, the interpretation will help clarify the message of the letters to the churches at Pergamum and Thyatira...

Wabash, DePauw Renew TV Deal with HDNet
by Brent Harris
July 13, 2010
Wabash College and DePauw University have renewed a three-year contract with HDNet to broadcast the annual Monon Bell Classic football game.
HDNet has provided a live, national telecast of the annual rivalry between the two schools for the past four years (2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009) and five times over the past seven seasons (2003).
Wabash holds a one-game edge in overall series (54-53-9) after reclaiming the 350-pound Monon Bell with a 32-19 win in Greencastle, Indiana. DePauw holds a two-game advantage since the Bell became a part of the rivalry in 1932 (37-35-6).
The two schools will meet on November 13, 2010 in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The new contract also includes the games to be played in 2011 and 2012.
"Rivalries don't get any closer than this, especially after 116 games, and the Monon Bell is a truly special event," says Mark Cuban, president and co-founder of HDNet. "I'm thrilled that we're able to continue our partnership with DePauw and Wabash, and ensure continuity for our viewers and keep a great college football rivalry on the HDNet program schedule."
"I think any football player loves the opportunity to play in a game that is broadcast live throughout the nation," Wabash head football coach Erik Raeburn said. "Family and friends scattered throughout the country can watch the game live, and alumni who cannot get back to campus for the game can still enjoying being a part of the rivalry."
Alumni offices at both schools will work together in the upcoming months to put together telecast parties throughout the country. Fans and alumni gathered at 66 different broadcast party locations to view the 2009 game.
"All of us at Wabash are thrilled that we have in place another three-year
deal with HDNet, which will allow the entire nation to witness what those
of us from Wabash and DePauw have long known - that the Monon Bell Classic
is the finest rivalry game in all of sports," said Jim Amidon, director of public affairs and marketing at Wabash. "We're especially grateful to our HDNet partners, who have recognized the greatness of the rivalry and helped us celebrate it."
"I can't say enough about the quality of the work Darrell Ewalt (executive producer of sports for HDNet) and his team do year after year," adds Ken Owen '82, executive director of media relations at DePauw. "This is great news for the alumni who gather at telecast parties in more than 60 cities, the thousands of alumni who tune the game in at home and for the rivalry itself. Each November, HDNet exposes many new people across the nation to our two fine colleges and this great tradition."
HDNet is the first national television network broadcasting all of its programming in high definition. Launched on September 6, 2001 by co-founders Cuban and Philip Garvin, the HDNet networks are available in the U.S. and Canada on DIRECTV, DISH Network, Charter Communications, Comcast, Insight Communications, Mediacom Communications, NCTC Affiliated cable systems, Verizon Fios, Bell Express Vu, Star Choice, Shaw, and Cogeco.
