Re: 289 techniques
mh, the i-form of a verb is similar to '... and' in English (as far as I know). Maybe 'Decepting and Beheading' would be better, but otherwise, the translation is good. What would be the standard? Seelentau 愛議 01:13, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
- oh, without Cloud Style in it. Sorry, I'm tired, it's 3 o'clock in the morning here^^ 裏霞斬り translates to Reverse Haze Beheading, but looking at other techniques with 霞 in it, you use mist, so it's Reverse Mist Beheading. Seelentau 愛議 02:11, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

Lightning Release Armour
It doesn't matter, He didn't combine the Body flicker with the lightning release armour, He just fully charged the Lightning release armour, Naruto isn't any faster. —This unsigned comment was made by Tzahi (talk • contribs) .
Re: Lightning release armour
As you can see here: Chapter 544 page 13 A said it was his fastest punch, Which basically means it doesn't has to be his top speed. Since against minato he also didn't combine the body flicker against him.He basically used it in order to avoid the amatereasu, Yet naruto isn't any faster. Tzahi (talk) 00:18, November 23, 2012 (UTC) A'ight since you do not answer i am reediting it back, Please do not edit it again cause we'll reach no where, Talk to me before so we can solve it. Tzahi (talk) 00:28, November 23, 2012 (UTC) Guess you're right, Though it looks fishy because i was quite sure you can't attack while using the body flicker Tzahi (talk) 11:10, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Sobre a Narutovicio
Olá Omnibender. Acho que você se lembra de mim, queria lhe dizer que o Samemaru que é um utilizador da Naruto Wikia, lhe mandou uma mensagem falando certas coisas impróprias e com uma falsidade um tanto alta. Queria lhe dizer que não estamos lhe envolvendo em nenhuma confusão, você não tem (nada) a ver com esse desentendimento do Eduardo Fontes com o João Krauss, que é o Lider da Naruto Wikia. O Samemaru, que foi o cara que te mandou aquela mensagem, dizendo que nós somos rivais deles, e queremos que eles se deem mal, e ficamos nos achando os maiorais, foi totalmente mentiroso. Ele falou isso por estar com inveja de você estar nos ajudando. Como queremos que você continue nos dando apoio e ajudando quando puder, peço para que você entre no chat da Narutovicio, para conversarmos melhor. A partir das 7 horas da noite pra frente, você terá mais chances de encontrar ADMs on por la. Desculpe por qualquer transtorno..

Re: Kisame and Itachi
I read over that part and haven't found it. He does praise Itachi's skills etc but doesn't say he's better than him. Maybe it was said on the infamous mistranslated.--Cerez365™(talk) 15:22, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for butting in, but are you guys referring to when Kisame admitted that Itachi will be able to against Jiraiya and he cannot? It was during Part I of the series, somewhere between they left the Leaf Village to go chase down Naruto. They were on a cliff, if I remember correctly.--NinjaSheik 18:35, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Kage hats
Given that the images of the Kage which are used are generally ones of them with the hat on already, I kinda see adding the image to the respective articles as redundant. However, I did think of another use for them, but I'm not sure if you're the right one to ask. Any way, do you know if it's possible to add the images beside the occupations, like the way we're do a nature transformation? Of course I think I'd have to ask Droid to remove the part that hangs down and such so they're smaller.--Cerez365™(talk) 22:37, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
Oh okay. Half way through I realised they could stay either way. The other part was just whimsical on my part.--Cerez365™(talk) 22:53, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Omni-senpai! :) Sorry to bother you, but I kinda need advice on something. You see, when I opened my inbox to my e-mail today, I got an e-mail titled "Beta Tester". It was message from the Wikia Community Council. This is what the content said:
I am writing to officially invite you to join the Wikia Community Council. We are adding a limited number of members, and we have identified you are a potential member because of all of your great contributions on Wikia.
The Community Council is your opportunity to give early stage feedback about new features. You'll earn a special group right that will give you access to the Community Council wiki where you'll participate in discussions directly with our product managers and staff to give feedback on our early ideas, screenshots and more.
We're inviting a very limited number of people, so please let us know if you'll be able to participate by replying to this email. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Happy Editing,
Sarah Manley
Director of Community Support"
I know that must be busy with other things, but I wanna get some advice on what I should do about this. I'm also gonna ask several others for their opinion on the matter, but as one of the my senpais who I respect greatly, I'd appreciate your advice on this subject.--NinjaSheik 21:53, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for replying, Omni-senpai. :) It is true that I have thought about the benefits I could bring to the Narutopedia if I do become a member of the Council. They are basically the "leading government" (or masters or something) for all of the wikias out there, so when they change something, it affects pretty much every wikia out there (unless they give you the option to use it or not). Like you, I'm not big on a lot of new changes, probably because I'm not big on change, either. I, for example, don't even like the new wiki skin and prefer to use the monobook skin. I will, however, learn to adapt to changes and be willing to go along with the changes.
For now, I think I'll think more about the offer. I already sent them an e-mail, asking a bunch of questions and stuff. Gotta know what I'm going to get myself into, right? :P I am interested to see what windows can be open for me and the Narutopedia by being part of the Council. Anyway, thanks again for replying, Omni-senpai. :)--NinjaSheik 23:30, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

Infobox problem
Hi Omni and how are you? I've noticed that in Dokku, Leo, Miina and Shiseru's profiles, there's a problem on their infoboxes about the age (the source). it seems to be coding problem. How could be fixed? Thanks —Shakhmoot (Talk) 10:36, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
- The age field can only accept numbers.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 10:48 UTC, Saturday, 8 December 2012
Not really. Obito's infobox has the Kakashi Gaiden note in his Part 1 age, and that works. Those references should still be listed somewhere, and it's weird, because when I look at the infobox in the Infobox namespace, the reference looks ok. The problem is when the infobox is transcluded into the article. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:08, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
- It works, but there's an error in the infobox when you put anything other than numbers in the Age field. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 15:22, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
- I am seeing an error on Obito's infobox as well (when it is used on its article).— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 15:49 UTC, Saturday, 8 December 2012
- But in Obito's infobox, despite there being the yellow triangle, you can actually read what the tag says. With the Chikara arc characters, the ref just became a random string. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:00, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Cracks Edo Tensei
Well Itachi did.. and Madara has and in some chapters has no... I don't think he does have them and it is a mistake that he has had them since he severed the contract to Kabuto... and Itachi and madara got free differently, I think Kabuto could regain control of Itachi with another mind controlling tag but not Madara. --22.214.171.124 (talk) 23:50, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Itachi Edits
The last edit was mine.
The details were redundant, and made the whole section awkward, grammatically incorrect, and long. Do we need to know he has peach skin and "onyx" eyes? Do we need to know how long his hair is? (Should we start including his long eyelashes too?)
Also, I removed intensifiers and adverbs for better writing. There is no need to say "extremely", "generally", "kind of not really", or anything of the sort because it's fluff. Either he is, or he is not. If the sentence is not objective enough without an intensifier, I say remove the sentence.

If you'd like, I could design icons for you and see how you like them. My work lacks polish, and since I don't know Japanese, someone would have to insert the symbols into the icons, but I'm willing to try. I'm not trying to replace ShounenSuki; I just want to help out.

I know I myself just up and disappeared but I had matters in real life to handle and just plain laziness but I'll slowly get busy on N-Wiki again. If only I continued trying to learn Japanese.

A quote by Jack London — an American author, journalist and political activist (1876-1916) — describes his idea of charity in these words, "A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog when you are just as hungry as the dog."
A quote by Jack London — an American author, journalist and political activist (1876-1916) — describes his idea of charity in these words, "A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog when you are just as hungry as the dog."
Sometimes I wonder if Mama knew of that quote even though she never learned to read or write. Mama and Papa valued education and saw to it that their children received at least a basic education. I believe I am the only one of their children to have completed high school. Several worked to get their GED and successfully completed the course.
They are every bit as proud of their accomplishment as I am of mine. One of my siblings even went to college after she married. She earned an Associate of Science through the College of Life Sciences and Technology from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux and is a retired food-service manager.
We all feel that had our parents not valued education, we would not have been as successful in life as we were. We are all grateful for our upbringing.
Returning to London's quote, we had very little as children. It was a struggle for our parents to send us to school, buy pencils and paper, and give us enough food to eat at lunchtime to hold us until we got home to a decent evening meal. She also sent us to school in clothes that were homemade; however, they were washed, starched, ironed and mended if necessary.
Hobos came to our door on a more or less regular basis, asking for a meal, or even just a bite to eat. Mama always had something for them to eat. It may have been biscuits, homemade bread, or a plate of beans and rice, potatoes or fresh vegetable, but those needy men were sure to get a meal from Mama if they stopped at our house.
We didn't have much, in fact, no one did during those days of the Great Depression, but we shared what we had, as most people did back then. We were on the receiving end of much of that "giving," so I'm sure Mama and Papa figured we could share a little too.
Their generosity trickled down to their children. Six of their daughters are the remaining members of the family, with the eldest daughter and both sons having died during the past few years. One sister cared for Mama for many years. Later, as Mama's life was coming to an end, the rest of us took turns looking after her. When Mama died in 1994, all her children were still living.
We, their daughters, were all lucky in the marriage department. We married men who were generous and shared even when it hurt to share. One daughter never married, but she is noted for her giving nature. Of the six who did marry, I am the only one whose husband is still alive. I am extremely grateful for that blessing and pray that I'll be blessed with his presence for a long time. He is still the generous man he always was.
From what I can gather by observing the other members of our family, it seems that Mama's lessons in sharing are trickling down to two more generations. Our children seem to bend over backward to try to help us, and our grandchildren do the same. My husband and I, and probably other members of our family, are already on the receiving end of generosity from the great-grandchildren. They share their hugs — and what a blessing that is.
The kind of charity London described is the ultimate in charitable generosity.

My dad always told me that "charity will never bust you" and
about a sign that he had placed in the window of the Ogden Huddle when he opened
in 1940 offering to feed the hungry for free.
In these challenging economic times, it made me feel very good
to come upon this news paper clip from the Herzl LIGHT. 1948, Herzl Junior
College (now Malcolm X in what is now the City Colleges of Chicago system) was
located just blocks from Eli's Ogden Huddle on Chicago's West side. A reporter
from the Herzl LIGHT, Richard C. Blank set out to test the sign to see if Eli's
would in fact feed him for free. As noted in the article below from the LIGHT,
Blank came into the Huddle as a "humble and low spirited person" seeking a free
meal. My uncle and Eli's brother, Nate Schulman, greeted him and immediately had
him served dinner.
The article continues that "playing the part of the 'good
Samaritan is an old story with the Schulman's." (Eli, Nate and Bertha). "Eli
started the business eight years ago..and uses the previously mentioned sign
because someone gave him a helping hand when he was hungry and without
The article lists "examples of the different people who have
shared the Schulman hospitality:"
1. An elderly man said he didn't have the money for a cup of
coffee. He got his coffee and a donut too. A few days later, he returned, and
not only cleared his debt, but paid twice as much.
2. A little old lady comes into the Huddle everyday and Nate
feeds her free because she doesn't make enough money to live on.
3. Some time ago, a mongrel dog was in front of the store
counter. It was so hungry so Nate fed it. The next day another pooch appeared
and he fed it too!
"When people come in for a free meal and ask what they can do to
earn it it, Nate says "Northing." He admires that kind of spirit but it would
force him to think up more jobs than the W.P.A. had in the leaf raking
That article was written 60 years ago this year. We are very
happy that our tradition of feeding the hungry continues with our commitment to
the Greater Chicago Food Depository at the Eli's Cheesecake Festival and the
upcoming Magnificent Mile Lights Festival as well as our Eli's Giving Back
Program, whereby our associates are invited and encouraged to personally deliver
Eli's Cheesecakes to a worthy organization of their choice.

Veronica Walsh asks if Irish current affairs media programs discriminate against women
So, we know there is a gender imbalance across Irish society. And it was brought home to us in screaming technicolour last week when Joan Burton was publicly humiliated and passed over for the cabinet finance brief that many believe was hers by right. Which got us all thinking and talking… though it's dying down as an issue now, and we'll go back to acceptance and same old same old. Before we do – I'd like to share a little exchange that Sara Burke had with Eamon Dunphy on Dunphy's Sunday morning current affairs show yesterday.
The panel that morning was made up of Eamon, Philip O'Connor, Alan Dukes, Emmet Oliver, and the lone woman Sara Burke. although I suppose we were lucky to have even her, as it is not unheard of for this show not to feature even one woman on the panel. I'll set the scene…. some way into the show the conversation turns to the pieces by Diarmaid Ferriter, Mick Clifford and Shane Ross in the Sunday newspapers – all suggesting that Burton was shafted. Eamon agrees and says it appears to be discriminatory – and Sara says she is 'incensed' at it etc – only Alan Dukes dismisses it as nonsense (quelle surprise! Oh what is it about him that makes me speak French?!). So, okay, grand… chat chat chat, blah blah blah…. THEN, after Eamon declares that "such discrimination weakens our democracy", Sara puts it up to him that he himself discriminates against women and only features occasional 'token women' on his show. Good woman yourself, Sara!
So, what did he say? Um. I'm not sure. Here's the exchange verbatim:
Sara Burke: "Eamon, the issue of gender equality isn't confined to Dáil Éireann, it's across society, it's in this studio…"
Eamon Dunphy: "Let me tell you Sara, I go… and have done as a journalist… to inordinate lengths in the teams that I construct as a radio… 'cause I'm the boss, I run the thing, I'm the editor of the program… in terms of getting guests, in terms of getting people and promoting women, eh, it is a problem when you go…"
Sara interrupts: "there's often weeks when there's no women on your panel and…"
Dunphy cuts her off: "There are weeks when, well, I'll tell you why…"
Sara cuts him off: "There's often just the token one, as I am today…"
Dunphy answers: "No, no you're not. I'll tell you why… that is… and I'll be unequivocal about it, the qualification for being in this radio studio on a Sunday morning with me is intelligence. And honesty, probity. I won't have spoofers, I won't have token people, and I won't have spinners in the studio. And in all the times. we've got 52 and a half percent more listeners than we had when we started because of that principal, and I think it should apply everywhere… no tokenism at all! We'll take an ad-break now, and we'll come back and talk some more…."
(to listen back go here – 31 minutes in….)
The programme returned from an ad break, and he read out a couple of texts then moved on to talk about something else, abandoning the discussion.
But I'd like us to look at it again. Do we agree with Sara? Why do we accept that this is just how it is? What do we think of Dunphy's reply? What's he on about? It's a pity he didn't expand on his "it is a problem when you go….". It's a shame he never addressed the main question of why he appears to discriminate against women on his panel, instead waffling into a defence of his show against the idea he'd allow tokenism, and then escaping to a break and a change of subject.
l searched for data on the panels for the last few months from the programme's twitter timeline at @thedunphyshow, and lay it out starkly (see list below). There was no woman last week. There was no woman on the double election special panels the week before. In the preceding weeks there was either no woman or one woman on a panel of four men.
So what do you think? Discrimination? Is it any better on other prime time current affairs shows on radio and TV? Is it time we said enough is enough, and demanded some kind of gender balance be applied in the media pundit world?
(Hey! You media producer people struggling to 'promote women' as Eamo put it, check out Margaret E. Ward's list of potential female contributors to Irish media right here🙂

Few things in life are as universally adored as ice cream, and in my experience, few desserts receive more raves than ice cream pie. It always amuses me that as soon as I bring out this simple, kid-oriented dessert for company, an enthusiastic cheer erupts from even the most reserved adult guests.
Ice cream pie is ideally suited to casual summer entertaining. It must be made at least a few hours ahead, so there's nothing to do at the last minute except pull it out of the freezer. And the method is truly as easy as one, two, three. One: Make a cookie crust. Two: Scoop or layer ice cream into the crust and drizzle on hot fudge. Three: Freeze until the ice cream firms up. You can change the ice cream flavors or gussy up the toppings to suit the moment, so this dessert can be as playful or sophisticated as you like.
As for whether to use store-bought ice cream or homemade, I leave that up to you. I like to use my time for the fun and creative part—making pies out of excellent store-bought ice cream. But if you have time to make your own ice cream, all the better. For the necessary equipment, consult the review of ice cream makers.
Make it your way
This recipe for Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Pie is a blueprint for many other fabulous ice cream pies. It's all about your favorite flavors and combinations, so after you try some of my ideas below, branch out on your own. Here's how.
Vary the crust. There's a world beyond chocolate wafer crusts. Try crushed sugar cones, graham crackers, chocolate graham crackers, biscotti, shortbread, amaretti, ginger snaps, or your own favorite.
Vary the garnish. The possibilities are endless. Try crushed candy bars, fresh strawberries, chocolate-dipped dried apricots or other dried fruit, crushed toffee or brittle, or cocoa nibs.
Add crunch between layers. For textural interest, consider sprinkling crushed cookies or candies, crystallized ginger, or chocolate chips between the layers of ice cream. I've found that good-quality fruit preserves also taste great sandwiched between ice cream.
More ice cream pie ideas
• Ginger ice cream pie. You'll love a simple ginger snap crust filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with scoops of ginger ice cream. Dust the top with chopped crystallized ginger.
• Refreshing sorbet pie. Fill an amaretti cookie or graham cracker crust with vanilla ice cream and top with scoops of sorbet. Mango, pineapple, and coconut are luscious with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes. Or try raspberry and strawberry sorbets topped with mixed berries.
• Peachy ice cream pie. Fill a graham cracker or ginger snap crust with peach ice cream, top with scoops of peach sorbet, sprinkle with toasted almonds, and serve with sliced ripe peaches.
• Banana split pie. Try chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream in a chocolate cookie crust. Serve with chocolate, strawberry, or caramel sauces and garnish with thinly sliced bananas.
• Mango ice cream pie. Use mango or vanilla ice cream as the base layer in a crushed shortbread cookie crust and top with scoops of mango sorbet. Serve with sliced fresh mangos and raspberry sauce.

LOS ANGELES – Heath Ledger's sociopathic reinvention of Batman bad guy the Joker in "The Dark Knight" has earned him the supporting-actor honor at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
His co-star Gary Oldman has accepted the prize on behalf of the late actor.
The win puts the late actor a step closer to becoming just the second performer to win a posthumous Academy Award.
Oscar buzz has been flying over Ledger's performance since before his death just over a year ago from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. With the SAG win and the Golden Globe, Ledger now looks like a virtual lock to receive the supporting-actor Oscar on Feb. 22.
Meryl Streep of the Roman Catholic drama "Doubt" and Sean Penn of the Harvey Milk film biography "Milk" won lead-acting honors and the prize for overall cast went to the rags-to-riches saga "Slumdog Millionaire"
"Can I just say there is no such thing as the best actress, there is no such thing as the greatest living actress," said Streep, the Academy Awards record-holder with 15 acting nominations, including one for "Doubt," in which she plays an old-school nun in a war of wills against a progressive priest.
"I am in a position where I have secret information, that I know this to be true," she said. "I am so in awe of the work of the women this year — nominated, not nominated — so proud of us girls. And everybody wins when we get parts like this."
Penn played gay-rights political pioneer Milk but said the film had a universal theme.
"As actors, we don't play gay, straight. We don't play any of these kinds (of roles). We play human beings, and this movie is something that all of us involved are so proud of," Penn said. "This is a story about equal rights for all human beings."
Kate Winslet won the supporting-actress prize for her role as a former concentration camp guard in "The Reader."
Winslet offered a tribute to the late Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack, both producers on "The Reader," and said 2008 was a fabulous year for films.
"It's really an honor to be included in what I think is such a remarkable year," Winslet said. "I really feel like everybody should be given a medal."
The role already earned Winslet the same prize at the Golden Globes, where she also won lead dramatic actress for "Revolutionary Road." But at the Oscars, Winslet has just one nomination, as lead actress for "The Reader."
As it did at the Golden Globes, "30 Rock" swept the TV comedy honors, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin taking the individual acting prizes and the show winning the ensemble cast award.
Fey, creator and star of the series set behind the scenes at a sketch-comedy show, lobbed a wisecrack at Hollywood producers, who have battled Hollywood trade guilds over actors, writers and others' share of potential profits from Web programming.
Joking that one day, her young daughter would be old enough to watch reruns of "30 Rock" on the Internet, Fey said, "She'll look up at me and say, `What do you mean, you don't get residuals for this?'"
Hugh Laurie, won his second straight SAG prize for best actor in a TV drama for the medical show "House," joked that he was disappointed one of his fellow nominees did not win.
"I actually had a hundred dollars on James Spader (of "Boston Legal")," Laurie said. "This is just not my night."
Sally Field earned the TV drama actress award for the family series "Brothers & Sisters," while the advertising saga "Mad Men" was named best drama show. Accepting alongside his cast mates, "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm had kind words for the show's "dozen of viewers."
Before the show, "The Dark Knight" won SAG's honor for best movie stunt ensemble on Sunday, while "Heroes" took the same prize for television.
The stunt honors were announced on the red carpet as stars were arriving for the awards, one of Hollywood's last big ceremonies on the road to the Feb. 22 Academy Awards, whose nominations have lined up to make the SAG honors a real prelude to the Oscars.
Just three days before the SAG Awards, the Oscar acting categories came out virtually in sync with the guild picks, with 18 out of 20 performers competing for the same prizes at both shows. The lead-acting categories feature the same people in the running at both shows.
Among other lead-acting nominees for SAG and the Oscars: Streep for "Doubt"; Anne Hathaway for "Rachel Getting Married"; Penn for "Milk"; Mickey Rourke for "The Wrestler"; and a Hollywood power couple, Brad Pitt for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and Angelina Jolie for "Changeling."
SAG supporting-actress nominee Taraji P. Henson, who's also nominated for an Oscar for her work in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," was among the first stars to arrive. Henson signed autographs for fans and posed for photos before talking to media on the red carpet.
"The fans are why I am who I am," Henson said. "If I don't show love to the fans, they won't show love to me."
The late Heath Ledger loomed large at last year's ceremony, his death coming just five days before the SAG Awards. Actors spoke reverently of him, and Daniel Day-Lewis dedicated his best-actor win for "There Will Be Blood" to Ledger.
This time, Ledger is viewed as a near lock to win the supporting-actor honor for his ferocious reinvention of Batman villain the Joker in "The Dark Knight."
Nominated for overall cast performance are four of the five best-picture Oscar contenders: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Frost/Nixon," "Milk" and "Slumdog Millionaire." The fifth SAG cast nomination went to "Doubt," while "The Reader" has the fifth Oscar best-picture spot.
While individual categories at SAG are a solid forecast for who might win at the Academy Awards, the overall-cast category has a spotty record at predicting the Oscars.
"No Country for Old Men" won at both SAG and the Oscars last year. But winners in those categories have lined up at both shows just six out of 13 years since SAG added the cast honor.
Airing live on TNT and TBS, the 15th annual SAG Awards planned a lifetime-achievement honor for James Earl Jones.

Hendrik Verstralen (d. 1571)
Hendrik Verstralen was an Anabaptist martyr, executed in 1571 in Rypermonde (Rupelmonde) in Flanders, Belgium. There is not much information about this martyr; even the three letters found in Offer des Heeren and following martyr books do not give many particulars. He found it difficult to leave his wife Janneken and again and again asks her to kiss his children for him. He expected the congregation to take care of his family after his death. He was imprisoned in the castle in irons shackles; Maeyken Deynoots was in prison at the same time. In prison he wrote three letters—two to his wife, the first of which was undated, the second dated Palm Sunday (2 March), 1571; one letter, dated Jorisdach 1571, i.e., 23 April, is written to the congregation. These letters, together with those of Maeyken Deynoots, entitled Twee schoone Brieven, were published in 1577 and in 1579, and perhaps as early as 1571 (see Bibliographie I, 465). The [[Amsterdam Mennonite Library (Bibliotheek en Archief van de Vereenigde Doopsgezinde Gemeente te Amsterdam)|Amsterdam Mennonite Library]] has a copy of the 1577 edition. The letters were also included in a 1578 edition of the Offer des Heeren. Hendrik was the author of three songs, of which only the first is found in the Offer des Heeren. It begins, "O Heere Godt van grooter machte" (O God, Lord of great might). The two other songs begin: "Genade ende Vrede van Godts bermharticheyt" (Grace and peace of God's mercy) and "O Heere van Hemel en aarde mee" (O Lord of heaven and earth). They are found in Twee schoone Brieven, in the Hoorns Liedt-boeck of 1630, and reprinted in Wackernagel, Lieder.

Yesterday was Vineman and it was a great time. I plan to write up a longer story, but here is the short:
12 hour 21 minute total time
2.4 mile swim-1hr 16min
transition 1- 9 min (hanging out is pretty cool)
112 mile bike- 5hr 41 min (I rode a 5hr century!)
transition 2- 4 min
26.2 mile run- 5hr 11min
It was a fun, beautiful course and really well supported. And I don't know where I pulled that marathon out of! It was hilly and very hot, but still one of the best marathons I have run (not necessarily by time, but how I felt).
Am sore, but not miserable.

Congressional leaders are currently negotiating a new budget framework to avoid the fiscal cliff (i.e, the across-the-board cuts scheduled to occur on January 2 combined with the expiration of a number of tax breaks scheduled to expire later this month).
At issue are efforts to avoid an across-the-board cut that is scheduled to occur as a result of Congress' past failure to reduce the deficit in line with targets set up in a deficit reduction deal passed more than a year ago. Another issue that is complicating the matter is that a number of previously passed tax cuts are scheduled to expire at the end of the month. This means that everyone's taxes will rise if Congress takes no action.
The Senate passed a bill earlier this year that would extend the tax cuts for all but the wealthiest in this country – those individuals who earn over $200,000 and families who earn over $250,000. Estimates are that 98 percent of Americans earn under those thresholds and would not be affected.
It is unclear what will happen. Will there be a new budget deal or framework under which a budget bill/deficit reduction bill is developed? Or, will the country go over the fiscal cliff – an across-the-board budget cut will occur and everyone's taxes will rise?
The budget framework under negotiation is important because it will provide a roadmap for Congressional priorities over the next year and over the next decade. Senator Mikulski (D-MD) is circulating a children's budget letter for other Senators to sign, which she intends to send to the Congressional leadership. The Mikulski children's budget letter urges the negotiators to put children first – as part of the underlying framework, not merely an after-thought once the framework has been decided. As Senator Mikulski says, "It is time to both protect and invest in those who are the most vulnerable in our country – not leave them to chance."
According to data from 2011:
- One in five children – 16 million – in the United States live in poverty, including one in four children under age 5. Half of children under age 6 in the U.S. live in low-income families.
- More than 8.5 million children in the U.S. lived in food insecure households.
- Children are not getting the early learning they need to succeed in school. Only 29 percent of eligible 3-5 year old children in the U.S. are enrolled in Head Start. Just 4.5 percent of eligible children are enrolled in Early Head Start. Only one in six eligible children receive a child care subsidy, but the quality of care many of those children are in (as well as the care children not receiving a subsidy are in) is relatively poor.
- Half of U.S. 4th grade students eligible for free or reduced price lunch fail to read at grade level.
- 40 percent of U.S. families with a substantiated child abuse report received no services in 2010.
- More than 1,500 children in the U.S. died due to abuse and neglect (47.7 percent were children under the age of one).
- Fifteen years after the creation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, 10 percent of children in the U.S. still do not have health insurance.
We think Senator Mikulski is right. In any budget framework that is agreed to children ought to come first. Children are the future of our country. To see a copy of Senator Mikulski's children's budget letter that is circulating in the Senate, click here.
It's time for Congress to make children a priority. Please contact your Senators today and urge them to sign on to Senator Mikulski's children's budget letter. The deadline is Wednesday, December 12, C.O.B. The bottom line? No bad budget deal for kids! The final budgetary framework will be a reflection of our nation's priorities – join Senator Mikulski in urging budget negotiators to put children first!

In Ireland, formal education is compulsory from age six to age 15, (Primary and early Secondary Level) and considered a fundamental right under the constitution. This education is designed to provide a good rounded knowledge of our world, and provide a good base from which we can make more personal choices about our learning.
After the State exams at around age fifteen (Junior Cert), we have a greater chance to direct our own learning. For the final 2-3 years of Secondary school, we have to choose subjects from a number of options on offer in accordance with our interests, our aspirations and our level of commitment to the workload that the course will require. These choices can influence our personal direction in life � and ultimately, our career path.
As we move on from Secondary school, the number of choices and opportunities expands dramatically. For those who continue their education, they may pursue courses in Third level or Further education programmes. With the exception of some private colleges, these courses are provided free to students under funding from the Department of Education and Science.
Over sixty percent of our second level students continue to Third level education. Students compete for course places through our CAO (Central Applications Office) system � entry being determined by a formula based on supply and demand alongside the expected minimum entry requirements.
Graduates of third level courses frequently (and increasingly) continue their education to Masters or Doctorate levels, providing employers with high quality candidates for our modern economy.
Our government is committed to encourage as many as people as possible to educate themselves to the highest level � as having a highly educated workforce is essential for our nation to compete economically with the rest of the developed world.
Education never stops. As humans, learning is part of what we are. There is always some question, some curiosity, something we would like to understand better � whether it is something about the world of science, business, sport or whatever. Whether we follow our curiosity informally through conversation or books, or more formally by undertaking a course, learning goes on.
Lifelong learning is a term used to capture a range of courses that tap into our desire to take a more formal approach to understanding a subject we are interested in. This could be anything from pursuing a hobby (aerobics, creative writing etc.) to courses that lead directly towards career advancement (ECDL, Accountancy etc.).
Thousands of courses are available to people of all ages and interests throughout Ireland. These courses typically run from 6 weeks to two years and are privately run, and therefore incur fees. As the name suggests, these courses are characterised by attendance from people at all ages, and all educational levels. Many of these courses provide no certification � they are simply for enjoyment, and this is reflected in the friendly and enjoyable atmosphere in which they are delivered.
Each year thousands of school leavers and adults undertake PLC courses (Post Leaving Cert) � part of the Further Education system funded by the State. These are (normally one-year) courses for school leavers and adults that are run throughout Ireland, mostly by local VEC�s (Vocational Education Committees). These courses cover a wide range of topics and are designed to prepare students for particular jobs, or as an alternative pathway into the Third Level system.
People in all levels of employment can be challenged by the speed at which our economy progresses, and as a result need to continuously educate themselves within their area of expertise. There are hundreds of professional development courses run to facilitate this need, most are short courses aimed at increasing knowledge or skills in a specific area.
Not everyone has had, or taken, the opportunity to receive a formal education. Adults who now want to develop their basic skills (e.g. literacy, writing) can avail of specialised training run in VEC colleges around the country. These courses are free and can be tailored to the individual needs of participants.
Aside from the more formal and career specific knowledge gained through third level education, there are a range of training opportunities designed specifically for people who want employment in sectors such as construction, tourism, farming etc. These courses include trade and craft apprenticeships, and specific training for careers related to fisheries, food, hospitality, tourism, farming, forestry or crafts. Many of theses training opportunities are also available to students who want to leave school at the end of Junior cycle.
The State provides a number of courses and programmes designed to assist unemployed people increase their skills, and hence be in a better position to find new employment. These programmes are run by a number of agencies and serve people of different ages and circumstances. FAS, the Training and Employment Authority, also provide courses for current workers in certain industry sectors that have been marked for attention by FAS.
Despite the wide variety of study options and courses available in Ireland, significant numbers of people leave home every year to take up courses abroad. The UK is the most popular but opportunities exist in all corners of the world. Some 20,000 Irish students are enrolled in foreign universities annually, mainly in the UK, and to a lesser extent, the USA and Australia.
For most people, much of their education and training is focused on their career. At the successful end of a challenging course, we expect an award that is valuable and recognised by our potential employers. In todays global economy, we also can expect that our award is recognised throughout the world. The National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) provides a way to compare qualifications, and to ensure that they are quality assured and recognised at home and abroad.
Education is funded by the state up to the end of Senior cycle and on into most Further educations and Third level courses. In many cases, however, registration fees apply which are not covered by the state. In the case of Third level entry these are expected to be in the region of 900 - 1,600 for those entering in 2009.
Post Graduate courses (Fourth level) and most Adult education courses are not free. For information on grants and other forms of assistance, go to www.studentfinance.ie

Jude hosted a "game day" yesterday, and lots of people showed up. I think at peak we had sixteen people in our house. From about 8:00 until midnight, we played Werewolf, a variant of Mafia. They were all interesting, dynamic, well-balanced game s. Here are the role lineups for these games:
- 2 Werewolves, 2 Villagers, Bodyguard, Witch, Seer, Romantic
- 2 Werewolves, 2 Villagers, Bodyguard, Witch, Seer, Romantic, Werehamster
- 3 Werewolves, 3 Villagers, Bodyguard, Witch, Seer, Romantic, Hunter
An explanation of our definitions of these roles will be given at the end of this post.
The last game we had was the best game of Werewolf I have ever played (the lineup was the third one here). I was given the Werewolf role, along with Jude and Travis. In the previous game, I had mentioned that when we were analyzing the game a while ago, we determined that if the seer sees a werewolf in the first round of the game, the seer should immediately speak up and say who it was (technically, that only applied to games with two werewolves, though). So Jude cunningly spoke up right as the game started and fingered Paul as a werewolf. Some discussion ensued about how to verify whether Jude was actually the seer, but nobody was contesting him, so many people trusted him. People still wanted some verification. We lynched paul on the first day.
That night, we werewolves chose Jude, one of our own, to be eaten. The witch finds out who is chosen to be eaten by the werewolves each night, so we figured that she would see Jude as the target and therefore not suspect him (it makes sense for the werewolves to eat the seer, no?). We knew he wouldn't be eaten, because the bodyguard would be protecting him, and the witch would probably save him, too (so the witch used up her save on the first night!).
Day broke, and both Gabbie and Cami were dead. I was confused, and thought that our game master had screwed up. It was a wonderful turn of events, because when two people die in a night, nobody can be sure whether the Witch killed somebody extra or the wolves ate the romantic. We wolves (after coming to our senses) deduced that only one thing could have happened: Jude was saved by the witch (or bodyguard) and the witch targeted Gabbie or Cami, one of which was the romantic. I was already forming my plan: if I was put on trial, I would be the romantic, because the real romantic was dead and could not contest. Of course my lover would be Travis, who would support me. (As it turns out, my plan was flawed because the witch also knew what had happened the first night)
Jude said that he had seen the witch, but he didn't want to reveal who the witch was. Putting myself in a skeptical villager's shoes (as I did many times that game), I called bullshit on Jude. We were looking for verification, and he said something which provided no information at all. The others didn't seem to care, though, nobody was on board with my theory. This is a good sign.
After a little argument, we did the first round of voting, and Hagan and I were up on trial. I could leverage my skepticism of Jude during this: I claimed that since no information was known about me yet, should I survive, Jude should identify me the next night. Therefore it is absolutely imperative that I not give away my role, so that Jude can be securely verified.
During the unusually long discussion period after we were nominated, Daniel claimed that he was the witch, and Jude confirmed, "yep, he was the one I saw". Out of the blue, Sophia said "that's not true, because I'm the witch", and Daniel said, "that's true, I was bluffing!". Oh, shit! Jude's been found out! Hagan came out while he was on trial and "claimed" to be the seer. The only information he had was that Cami was a villager and Gabbie was the romantic. Completely irrelavent, uninteresting, unverifiable information. This did not help his credibility. I don't see how people could have trusted Jude after the witch event, so I'm guessing that people assumed the real seer was already dead. Jessa mentioned that she was the Hunter, and if she died, she would kill Daniel (probably for lying about being the witch). Hagan was put to death.
That night, we werewolves (after a long period of silent arguing) selected Jessa. I hadn't remembered her comment, but in retrospect that was absolutely the right move. She was true to her word and selected Daniel to take with her. And the werewolves, all three intact, win after the second night!
The game took at least an hour. Many of our Werewolf games are not that interesting because people play straightforwardly: people simply choose when to reveal the true information that they know. Werewolves try to avoid being put on trial or executed, by claiming they are a villager or something. This game was totally different: people were claiming to be things that they weren't—important things, not just nondescript villagers. When Jude pretended to be the seer, he had to come up with some information that he had found out. Basically, people were gutsy, and that made for an incredibly deep, twisty game. So there's a lesson: be gutsy and tricksy in Werewolf games, it makes the game as a whole better.
Here are the roles we used:
- Werewolves: must unanimously decide each night who to eat, which may be one of the werewolves. If the selected person is unselected, he dies that night.
- Bodyguard: chooses one person each night to protect. If that person is selected by the werewolves, then they don't die. The bodyguard is allowed to protect himself.
- Witch: is told each night who is about to be eaten by the werewolves (regardless of whether they are under bodyguard protection). Once during the game, the witch may choose to save this person, in which case they do not die. Once during the game the witch may choose to kill someone, and that person dies, even if under protection by the bodyguard.
- Seer: each night chooses one person, and the role of that person is revealed to him. The seer also acts on the night before the first day, and is the only role who does so.
- Romantic: on the night before the first day, chooses another player, and those two players become "romantically entangled". They may never vote for each other during the nominations, and if one dies, then the other does, too.
- Werehamster: is a third faction, in a sense. The werehamster counts as a villager in most respects, but if the werehamster survives until the end of the game (either by the werewolves coming to equal numbers with the villagers (including the hamster), or by all werewolves being eliminated), then the werehamster wins instead. The werehamster cannot be eaten by werewolves (their selection simply has no effect), and if the seer ever chooses to look at the werehamster, then the werehamster immediately dies. The werehamster can be hanged, and can be killed by the witch and the hunter.
- Hunter: when the hunter dies (regardless of how: lynching, werewolf, witch), he must select another player to take to the grave with him. We did this in a sortof half-information way: If the hunter dies during the day, he selects someone else in broad daylight and they both die, so everybody knows who he is. If the hunter dies at night, then the gamemaster adds a new phase that night: "hunter, select someone to kill". Two people will die that night, but nobody is sure which is the hunter and which was his target.
We never reveal the role of dead players, never allow dead players to speak, and never reveal how someone was killed (i.e. whether it was by witch or werewolf (or in the hamster's case, seer)).
