I enjoy the sentiment here that people are born looking a certain way, and that the particular certain way doesn't define who a person is, so natural appearances aren't messed with too badly (other than from certain socio-economics groups like our aging Spanish ladies). That goes for things we Americans methodically correct as a rite of passage, for example crooked teeth. Lots of crooked teeth here with no closed lipped smiles to hide what Americans would call imperfections. Even if you wish that guy with the tobacco stained, gappy set of chompers would adopt such a smile.
Body Acceptance
Body acceptance of others is the norm, and to an extent one's own body. I don't mean that there are fat acceptance groups or hyper vigilance to be politically correct about fat people (or anything else for that matter). What I mean is, if someone is fat, they may be referred to as fat, but it isn't with disgust or contempt or scorn. It's just a defining characteristic they have and it's an easy reference. No one watches them eat and whispers Does he really need the extra slice of jamon on his bocadillo?? It isn't anyone's business but his own, and no one treats it otherwise.
That being said, the standard body size is far smaller than that of a typical US citizen. I mean in height and weight and everything else. For women, the median dress size here is about a US 4, which means there are also a lot of naturally thin women who are much smaller, like a size 00-2. These are women who do not think twice about what they are eating. They drink beer, they eat a chocolate croissant for mid-morning breakfast, they drink regular coke and they eat dinner well past 10pm and it usually includes something fried. But they also may skip a meals because they get too busy or perhaps just forget to eat. So while there is a level of body acceptance, there aren't a lot of fat people here.
Daily Diet
There are a lot of differences in daily diet that I think may contribute to a naturally smaller size. The Spanish do not ever ingest high fructose corn syrup, they don't eat much dairy other than a bit of soft cheese or very infrequently some grated hard cheese, they never eat butter in or on anything (olive oil is used instead), they eat fish daily, red meat and pork and chicken almost daily. I'd go on, but the hype about the "Mediterranean Diet" has already come and gone so you know the components.
Now, I don't know if any of this has anything to do with their natural set point in body weight, because on the other hand, they also put oil on everything and eat crème brûlée and patatas braves: fried potatoes usually served with some mayonnaise-y type sauce which sounds gross but isn't bad (in fact the whole concept of Mayonnaise came from the island Menorca, here in Catalunya so it isn't a strange adoption like that of the Dutch who do put straight mayonnaise on fries, which you already knew because you saw Pulp Fiction).
And while the entire male world runs or cycles daily well into their 70s, the women generally aren't very sporty. Spanish women may or may not go to the gym, but if they do, it isn't with the fervor that the dieting (or the eating disordered) put into it. As far as I can tell, they go to socialize or to have something to do during the two hour lunch break everyone has. And they walk or ride bicycles or take public transportation, which involves a lot more walking than you think.
Despite the diet and exercise differences, I think a lot of it is in our genes. We of Anglo-Saxon decent (most of middle American and all of Northern Europe) are not just much taller than our Mediterranean brothers, but bigger breasted, assed, bellied and with substantially more back fat as well. Just give us an extra slice or two of pizza a week for a couple months, and we expand 3 pant sizes, while Alberto just has more energy during the day. We must have had some cold winters to naturally select that kind of fat storing efficiency. If we want to keep ourselves in check now that we are no longer hunting and gathering and storing extra fat blankets for lean winters, we have to be vigilant. We could adopt the "Mediterranean Diet", but considering what happens when you spend a week in Italy, I don't think that is going to work for us. (That's a joke, but regardless, I'm not willing to commit to such an experiment.)
Gender Differences
Interestingly, I hear Spanish men discussing their diets all the time. As in "I'm going on a diet" and "I need to get some more exercise because my abs are no longer so defined you can scrub your clothes on them". In the US, a layer of fat on a man goes unnoticed by him and is easily described (inaccurately) as muscle by others by using the adjective big, as in "that's a big dude", as in "that's a strong dude" instead of "that's a chunky dude". Men here are inscrutable about a handful of gut and will work hard to rid themselves of it.
Leanness is king. Which means that yes, the smaller and less muscled look for men (what hipsters in the US affectionately refer to as European, or Gay?) is completely acceptable. Instead of fearing a scrawny body and striving for the kind of overinflated biceps that every US high school boy spends hours sweating in his garage while listening to Rush trying to achieve, skinniness is A-OK. In fact it's an asset: you're a skinny kid? Get on a bicycle! Cycling here is so popular that a fit but really skinny guy is universally envied for his climbing skills, potential or actual,while bicycling in the mountains. Because cycling is the way out. It's the equivalent to our poor kid turned basketball star/rags to riches story. (just read up on Alberto Contador, 2x Tour de France winner. Yes, he is Spanish. Warning, translated site is not fantastic but you get the gist of it.)
Note: The pro cycling world is perhaps an unfair example, as any fly on the wall will tell you that the preoccupation with eating and not eating rivals that of any group of unnaturally slim models: Food restrictions, diet pills, off season binges and of course the deliberate avoidance of speaking of any and all strange eating patterns marks the cycling world in general.
So the average Spanish guy isn't going to weigh his food and abstain from alcohol (ever!), though he may take it easy on the pasta and skip the dessert if his gut is starting to protrude over his belt a whole 10 millimeters. And he is going to admire rather than make fun of the physique of the tiny dudes on bicycles, even if he never wants to be that size himself.
If you are now envious of the Mediterranean natural size zero women and lean men with washboard abs, both of whom who eat bread dipped in olive oil everyday with their beer, let me help you feel better: They look older. That type of thinness over age 30 ages you a lot. And god help them if they smoke. (Or smoke while tanning, which I see a lot of women here doing. Trust me, they look 45 by age 35. So wear sunscreen and don't smoke, for the love of Pete.)
And if you visit, or even come here to live, don't worry about having a bowl of those olives and a glass of wine or two. These local delights are delicious treats like nowhere else on earth. And if you start feeling guilty, remember that there's nothing like a little extra padding to make naturally age-thinned faces and necks look younger.
And no one is going to judge you for a couple of extra pounds either way.

We moved homes the other week.
Change of residence ranks high on the Life Events Stress List. It's between "Troubles with boss" and "Changing to a new school".
For an additional challenge the move was planned for the week we returned from a long trip to Canada with a week in the Dominican Republic at the end of it. We were jet-lagged and weary even with our sun tans.
The week before we left for this long trip we were shooting a television show for three days. It was fun but tiring and I didn't do much in the way of prep work for the move before we headed off island.
Yes, we set ourselves up for a stressful and tense move with our jet-lag, no preparation and a very short window for getting out of our old home, leaving it in good condition with all the linens washed and the walls free from toddler marks, and getting into our new place.
Despite the odds, it was the easiest move I've made so far. Note: I said easy. Not enjoyable.
Have less stuff. Really.
I packed up most of our stuff in an afternoon and then my husband and I finished packing and moved it all in one evening. Okay, the only furniture we own is a train table. That is a big one.
But, as someone with a lot of moves under my belt, I've found it's rarely the furniture that does you in. It's all the stuff in the closets and cabinets and kitchen drawers. It's boxing all of it and moving all of it and then unpacking it.
In my athlete days I moved crossed country twice a year. My teammates and I lived out of a few duffel bags and some boxes of dollar store kitchen ware, drying racks for our spandex wardrobes and CDs (dating myself here). It was never the big stuff, the suitcases of lycra that did us in with the packing. It was the small things. It was the one off cheap bundt cake pan we bought and made one bundt cake with. It was the scores of CDs that we hadn't listened to or the flimsy closet organizer we bought to get our clothes in order but never used.
It's those little trinkets, not the bookshelf and the things you use everyday, that will have you wanting to curb your stuff during a move.
So get rid of it.
Get help.
With our laundry situation there was no way I could get all the linens – sheets, duvet covers, towels – washed and dried in 48 hours.
So I outsourced them. The laundry service did a bang up job and it took an item off my plate.
We also hired a sitter for the evening so Chris and I could make quick work of moving. The other cost, and this was a splurge in my jet-lagged stated, was a cleaner for our old place. They got the place spic and span in two hours and for a reasonable price. One of the benefits to living in an 800 sq ft apartment.
If you don't have the funds to outsource a few things during your move ask family and friends to lend a hand. Find someone to watch the kids for an afternoon or friends over for a packing party and have some nice food and beverage on hand.
Less stuff = not needing professional movers = saving $.
Even with our outsourcing this move didn't cost us anything close to the price of hiring professional movers or even what hiring a moving van + feeding friends beer and pizza would have cost. Our expenses for the move were: babysitter, linens, cleaner and fuel for the car our friends loaned us. In fact, the fuel was by far the most expensive piece of our move at £50 ($75) for half a tank of gas (for a sedan – I know, crazy prices over here).
In 2009 we made a very costly move when we sold our 598 sq ft condo and purchased an 1100 sq ft one. I was 8 months pregnant and my husband was away for stage one of the move. I packed up most of our apartment myself and we hired movers to come in and take everything to storage. Our new home was being renovated so for three weeks we rented a furnished condo. When our new home was ready the movers took everything out of storage, put it in a moving van, and brought it to our new place.
That move cost us thousands of dollars and was one of the most stressful times of my life. Every other day I went to the pharmacy to check my blood pressure fearing that I was developing pre-eclampsia. I was so on edge with the move, the logistics of it, the endless packing and the cash we seemed to be hemorrhaging from it, that I was worried my blood pressure was sky high.
Moving is never easy.
Even with less stuff and some help, I still found myself tired and grumpy by the last hour of the move. At 10pm I felt like leaving the last few things at our old place and getting them in the morning. All I wanted was my bed and sleep. Chris helped me shake it off and we took our last load of stuff, Chris's guitar and the clothes hanging in our wardrobe, to our new home. It was well worth it to push on and wake up the next morning in our new place with the move done.
And unpacking? Pretty painless. One morning of work had most of our stuff in closets and we were ready to resume living a normal life (read: no takeout). This weekend I finally put away the last couple of boxes and our new place feels like home.
Anyone else have lessons from moving house?

About Mary—"Humble and great, more than a creature," was the way Dante defined her. She possessed none of the requisites of human greatness. Her sole value lies in the fact that she was chosen by God to play a role of superior importance to any human exaltation whatsoever (who has the power to raise a woman to the dignity of Mother of God?) and she always corresponded fully with intelligence and freedom, to the will of her Lord.
About us—Each on of us has also been thought of by God from all eternity and must accomplish that salvific role, for ourselves and for others, which God assigns to us and makes known to us through the various circumstances of our lives, as well as through the "talents" (material goods and personal gifts) which we have received from the Lord. Our greatness will depend on how we correspond and how we stand before the eyes of God
…Father Gabriele Amorth.

49ers make playoffs after beating Falcons 34-24
SAN FRANCISCO — On a night they cheered "The Catch" and all the San Francisco greats of old, the current 49ers looked ready to move that success right into the future at a flashy new stadium.
SAN FRANCISCO — On a night they cheered "The Catch" and all the San Francisco greats of old, the current 49ers looked ready to move that success right into the future at a flashy new stadium.
In one emphatic finish, NaVorro Bowman, Colin Kaepernick and the Niners sealed their postseason berth in a ceremonious regular-season farewell for Candlestick Park.
Bowman returned an interception 89 yards for a touchdown with 1:10 remaining, and the 49ers clinched a playoff spot with a wild 34-24 victory against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night in the likely final game at The Stick.
"That's been the best thing I've ever seen happen in a football game," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Might've been close to 'The Catch.'"
Tramaine Brock broke up a pass intended for Harry Douglas and Bowman got his hands on the ball and took off. He was joined in the end zone by his teammates for a jubilant dog pile.
"I always say a lot of plays are made when you run to the ball," Bowman said. "That's all I was doing was just running to the ball, trying to make a tackle, and it popped up and I was able to make a play for my team."
Matt Ryan threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Roddy White with 8:42 remaining and a 2-yard score to Tony Gonzalez with 2:09 left as the Falcons (4-11) made things interesting until the end.
Atlanta's Jason Snelling recovered the ensuing onside kick as the Falcons got the ball back and were driving for a potential go-ahead score when San Francisco (11-4) capitalized with one of its biggest takeaways yet.
"When we got the onside kick at the end, we had a great opportunity to win but it wasn't meant to be," Ryan said. "Sometimes the ball bounces in the other direction. That's been the case for us."
Kaepernick ran for a 4-yard touchdown and threw a 10-yard TD pass to Anquan Boldin, and Frank Gore scored on a 1-yard touchdown run as the 49ers used a big second half to clinch a third straight playoff season and fifth consecutive victory. They put up 169 yards in the third quarter after managing just 113 in the first half as the sellout crowd fell momentarily quiet.
San Francisco still has a slim chance at winning a third consecutive NFC West crown and earning a first-round bye if St. Louis wins at Seattle and the 49ers beat Arizona on the road. They can win the NFC's top seed with the same scenario, plus a Carolina loss at Atlanta.
During an evening of fanfare and famous faces for Candlestick's ceremonious farewell, Kaepernick took charge as his team made good on Harbaugh's mantra for the week: "We don't want to be the guys who screw up the final game in Candlestick."
"Best birthday present I've ever gotten, second only to being born," quipped Harbaugh on his 50th birthday. "That was awesome."
Boldin had a 10-yard touchdown catch that tied it at 10 with 12:03 left in the third, and Kaepernick ran for a score early in the fourth.
This rematch of the NFC championship game featuring teams headed in opposite directions was another thriller. The 49ers won 28-24 last January in Atlanta to return to the Super Bowl for the first time in 18 years.
Boldin caught six passes for 72 yards and went over 1,000 yards receiving for the sixth time in his career and first since 2009.
With the future of the 49ers on display, there were plenty of glimpses to the past — and five Super Bowl titles.
"There's a lot of history in this stadium," Bowman said. "For this to be the last game, we cannot leave it with an L. So I'm glad we got the W."

Review of IMMORTAL from MJSUNIFC (Spoiler Alert)
September 18, 2011, 08:05:59 AM »
Hello fam, I just returned from Canada (Montreal) last night. What an incredible 2 days the whole experience was!
First let's start at the beginning. MJSUNIFC was invited to attend a very special dress rehearsal for less than 20 people to Montreal, Canada where Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour is preparing to launch in October.
There is so much to tell, so much excitement that I don't know what to tell you first because it was an incredible experience.
There is everything going on with this show! They have Neverland mixed in the show with the gates and statues coming to life!
My absolute favorite was Human Nature which was incredibly done and for all of us there, it made us cry. So touching and wonderful. So much visually going on that's it's hard to put into words. You just have to see it! My second favorite original creation number they did was "Is It Scary?' Loved every second of it! A creature crawls out of the book (like the ones Michael had open at Neverland), while you hear Michael's voice singing so clearly and crisp, (the sound was excellent!) there's his words of the song up on the screen. There's a mime! WOW so exciting I can hardly put into words what I felt and what I saw!
They Don't Care About Us....one word AWESOME!!!!
The costumes are fabulous, so much going on visually you don't know where to look first.
They have Michael as a child in a hot air balloon that floats across the audience, they have the Giving Tree as a main part of the whole production. The tree comes down and the dancers dance on it doing Thriller!
I know I will probably forget to mention something cause my thoughts are going a mile a minute just remembering the whole experience!
They played songs that only hard core fans would know. They had dancers inside 2 big loafers shoes LOL it was too cool!
They had bubbles playing jokes, They had a big glove with a dancer inside moving it making peace signs, etc.!
They have a girl that just turned 19 that's the guitar player that stepped in where Orianthi use to be and she is freaking awesome!
While I'm mentioning music THE BAND AND THE MUSIC IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AWESOME! Everything is so clear. you can hear every sound of Michael's voice, every instrument, everything!
They didn't leave anything out of Michael's heart and concerns for the world. Everything is in this show!
I can't wait for the world to see just a piece of what I saw because they WILL be blown away.
You hear Michael talking clearly throughout the show. So much is going on that I can't wait to see it again after it officially launches.
They were able to include a lot of his songs, so it's a dream for us Michael fans, and the new people that see this will become fans. This will definitely be their best Cirque show!
There is so much more I saw but It's hard to put it all into words. If I think of something else I will add it to this post.
Right after we saw the show we got to Meet Greg Phillaganes, Zaldy, Kevin Antunes and more.
The next day we were invited over to the Cirque camp. This place is truly incredible and completely inspiring! After taking a tour there I completely understand why Michael loved this company so much! They are the most loving and caring group of people I have met! They way they work there whole operation is like one gigantic family. Everybody there is viewed just as important as the next. They see everyone as equals even on an executive level. Every last show that Cirque produces around the world starts in this building. Every aspect of the show and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING! From the costumes to the shoes, to the training, to the process of creating an idea, and testing it out.
They teach each performer how to put on their on make-up for their character . They have teachers for performers who have children, and for their younger performers that are in the show. They have translators for the performers that came from other countries. They have a dorm for all those performers that are there training to be one of there shows. If you are a kitchen worker there and happen to be talented in drawing or whatever they allow you to showcase your talent to them to provide you with a possible advancement opportunity. They have programs to help troubled youths to turn their life around. The care about the environment.
The connection with them and Michael is so very easy to see and therefore it makes perfect sense and makes the perfect match. Again I can't express in words how much I enjoyed everything and how much I learned but I am so thankful for the MJ Estate and Cirque for letting me be a part of it all! They cared about what myself and others thought and took time out just to do that…Listen.
Changes and additions are being made to MJ The Immortal because of the opinions we expressed. How awesome is that!
After doing this tour I came away with a deeper understanding, a high level of respect, and completely inspired by the whole experience.
I look forward to December when the MJ The Immortal comes to Vegas, and especially the Fan Fest!
I have some photos to share with you guys but none of MJ the Immortal show as cameras and cell phones were prohibited. I do have some group photos and such.

"Which brings me to a mini-law that has goverened my life for many years. In Sanskrit these mini-laws known as sutras , short , pithy sentences that embody the essence of a universal law. Here is how this one was presented to me:
"Step by step, at every step, there is that which is conducive to each step", but you could also translate it as"
Whatever you need is right here." This applies not only to the energy necessary to complete a job, but also, often, to the wherewithal to do it.
So much of our time is taken up in worrying about how we are going to cope with things that have not happened yet and may indeed never happen. At every moment things shift, so even if you could work out the 'right' action to take at some point in the future, the situation would have changed in many ways by the time that moment arrived. The only thing we need to concern ourselves with is the present moment." – 'Nothing Left Over, a Plain and Simple Life' by Toinette Lippe
There's probably only a handful of days each year that gift me with an empty calendar. When I wake I'm aware of the broad canvas of time untouched by lists or plans and I feel myself slow down inside. All I need do is let the day spin itself out as it wants to. Fully engaged with the present, I eat when I'm hungry, take a nap if I'm tired, socialize or just stare into space and enjoy my own company. The "Next Thing" always presents, perfectly, on it's own schedule.
But what about the rest of the time?
With a business to run, a home and family and friends to attend to, I rely on lists, clocks and calendars to keep me on track. But somehow, over time, my perspective on those timetables has shifted. It probably has something to do with yoga, with learning to keep the focus in the present whether I'm "on the mat" or "off".
No matter what the pace or mood of the day, I try to just "Do the Next Thing". Wouldn't that make a great bumper sticker?
When the list is long and complicated, I "Do the Next Thing". If the slate of the day is wondrously clear, I "Do the Next Thing." Things don't seem so daunting when taken one at a time. I choose to invest my energy doing what's in front of me rather than in worrying about what lies ahead. If you have a tendency to procrastinate then you can attest to the truth of the quote: "Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." – William James.
There's elements of the yamas in this philsophy too. Taking on only one thing at a time can reduce the stress of pushing beyond one's limits, and becomes a way to practice ahimsa (non-violence) toward the self. We can incorporate satya (truthfulness) by setting realistic goals for what we can accomplish in a day. Who says time-management isn't a yogic concept?
There's also been times in my life when being able to "Do the Next Thing" was the only thing I could do to get through the day. In those times when life came apart in frightening, sad or painful ways there was always "The Next Thing" to move me forward. I would do what was necessary to unstick from the misery of the moment. I could do normal things, until I actually felt normal again.
Sometimes too, the best laid plans…..ah, you know the rest. At the closing of those days it's a good idea to take these words to heart:

APEX: The Story of the Hypercar, is now available on iTunes, and I'm thrilled to have been a part of the making of the film, and to be in the film itself. Everyone's in it. Christian von Koenigsegg, Horacio Pagani, Chris Harris, Mike Spinelli, Travis Okulski, and a cast of thousands. OK, not quite.
What's it about? Take a guess. Here's the official synopsis and trailer: Continue reading

I've always been an avid flight sim fan. Over the last few years I haven't really spent any time flying on the sim. I recently installed a few different flight sims and have spent some time flying again. Here is a video of my current setup
Behemoth: Overview and Sample Prints
This is an overview of the Behemoth 3d printer that I designed and built. It has a 330x360x400mm build envelope. I also show a sample of a number of objects that I have printed on it. This video turned out a little longer than I intended.
Rostock Max finally getting results
I picked up a Rostock Max 3d printer a few weeks back. I wanted one to gain experience with a bowden hot end setup and a delta arm configuration. The build was pretty straight forward for me as I have built many 3d printers and even designed my own. I found the stock power supply did not provide enough power for me to heat the bed and maintain a constant temp on the hot end. I replaced it with a quality Corsair 600W supply that has a single 12V rail. Other than this and the fans I added the rest of the RMax is stock. If I had to pick one thing about the build that I did not like it would be the fitting of the arms to the aluminum u-joints. This required a lot of sanding, scraping and countless refits to get them to move with minimal friction.
My first prints turned out a lot worse than I was hoping for. However I was expecting more tuning than usual as I had read that Bowdens and delta's required it to make decent prints. I was starting with PLA instead of ABS so it was even harder to tune the bowden setup. I needed to add a fan to cool the peek part of the hotend to stop the PLA from oozing up and causing a jam. I spent a lot of time on PLA prints and tuning but could just not get a result I was happy with. I decided to switch to ABS as it was supposed to be easier with the Rmax and its Bowden setup. Well I spent an equally frustrating amount of time trying to tweak the settings and not getting acceptable results. I was basing my tuning on the nozzle size of 0.5mm. In order to be sure I confirmed with John at SeeMeCNC that mine was indeed shipped with a 0.5mm nozzle.
Well it turns out my 0.5mm nozzle was not actually a 0.5mm nozzle. It was most likely a 0.7mm or larger. I figured out the nozzle wasn't 0.5mm by extruding slowly into open air and waiting for it too cool then measuring the diameter. I was between 0.9 and 1mm in diameter. Normally a 0.5mm nozzle would measure about 0.6mm or so.
0.7mm nozzle on the left and 0.??? on the right
I was unable to print infill without making a mushy mess. (rmax on right with 0.5mm nozzle settings and Behemoth on right with proper infill extrusion width)
The mush was caused because I was using 0.5mm nozzle settings for extrusion and infill width in KISS. If you try and print infill with a width less than the nozzle diameter it won't work. It makes sense why if you think about it. How can you possibly extrude infill at a diameter less than the nozzle diameter keeping in mind that infill typically bridges itself in open air. Mine would just fall apart as the flow calculation was wrong.
Once I dialed in the correct extrusion width into KISS the results were amazing. Infill was perfectly connected and layered. No more mushy mess!
I'd really like to be printing with a 0.5mm nozzle but I'll have to wait until SeeMeCNC sends a replacement. For now I put on the 0.35mm nozzle. In this video you can see me printing the golvend tornado. I sliced it with KISS slicer at 0.25mm layer height. Printing at 20mm/s with feedrate at 150% and temp set to 230.
More pics using PLA
Behemoth prints King Tut approved Hollow Calibration Pyramid
I sliced this with Skeinforge 50 at 0.35mm layers and printed with silver pla at 175C on the Behemoth. I set cool to 10 second layer minimum and used the two fans as picture on high. I am very happy with the way this turned out.
3D Printed Planetary Gear Bearing
I found this on thingiverse the other day. I wanted to see how it would print on the Behemoth. The only way it can be made is on a 3d printer. It can't be assembled or dissambled (at least without breaking it). It printed great and it was very easy to break the gears free and start rotating it. I ran it in a drill a little bit and it loosened up very nicely. I'm not sure how long they will last but I intend to use them in the smaller 1 pound spools.
You can see the results here
Behemoth 330 x 360mm print bed
I picked up a piece of 41cm x 35cm x 3mm float glass at the local glass shop. It weighs in at a hefty 1029grams. I'm printing a 300x300mm square picture frame just as a test of the large surface area. The glass does sag a bit in the center but that can be easily remedied with some supports underneath. So far it doesn't seem to effect the print.
I think I'll work on a system to make these print beds easier to interchange. I'd like to be able to put the smaller bed back on there when I need heat on the bed.
Behemoth prints 300mm tall PLA rocket section
This is the second PLA rocket I am building. The first one flew well and is ready for another flight. See it here. The bottom section of this rocket is 300mm tall. I will print a 300mm tube and a 70mm nose cone for a total height of 670mm.
The layer alignment on this section is the best I have ever seen on any of the printers I have built. I was worried about issues surfacing as I printed at higher and higher elevations. So far I have not had any. This one was printed at 0.35mm layer height and took about 2 hours to print.
I measured the Z height again and I can print 390mm high.
A challenge for the Behemoth
This spiral lightbulb is always a challenge to print. It requires good retraction. As the print gets taller the spirals get pushed around by the print head. This makes the layer alignment difficult and as a result the surface finish suffers. That said this is the best one I have printed to date on any of my printers. The Behemoth is my 4th 3d printer.
I printed this one at 0.2mm layer height sliced with slic3r. Fill was 0.15 with solid infill threshold area set to 0. I also enabled cooling with min layer time of 15 seconds and min print speed of 10mm/s. I printed using silver 1.75mm PLA from Ultimachine at 198C. I used my floor fan on low to cool as it printed.
May the force Behemoth you
Printed Yoda on the Behemoth @ 0.2mm layer height with 15% infill. Look at the overhang on those ears!
Behemoth 3d Printing
I have the Behemoth printing! I printed out the slic3r version of the tornado posted by Sound on thingiverse. I thought this would be a good test for the printer. This isn't your typical first print. No calibration cubes here. Just right to business. It turned out very well. Layer alignment was excellent. I was a little worried that I might have issues with large objects This is the biggest object I have ever printed. I'm relieved now and can spend time cleaning up the wiring and install the end stops for x and y.
Print specs:
– http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33344
– 210mm tall
– 0.31mm layer height
– Active cooling from a floor fan on low
– 2 perimeters
– 3 solid layers on bottom, 0 layers on top
– 0% infill density
– build envelope (350mm+ on X, 350mm+ on Y, and 400mm+ on Z)
– 0.35mm steep head nozzle with makergear hot end.

Hillary Clinton on Thursday narrowed down the "determinative" reasons for her 2016 presidential loss to two factors: FBI Director James Comey and WikiLeaks.
During an appearance at the eighth annual Women in the World Summit in New York City, Clinton said her team and supporters have been spending time "trying to piece it all together" — referring to why she lost to President Trump.
She noted that there were "lots of contributing factors" and said her campaign and she herself "certainly could have done better."
"Certainly misogyny played a role," Clinton noted. "That just has to be admitted."
But, she narrowed it down to two incidents, which notably were outside of her control, that struck the killing blow to her campaign.
"I think it is fair to say that the outside intervention, the combination of the Comey letter on Oct. 28th, WikiLeaks which played a much bigger role than I think many people understand yet, had the determinative effect," Clinton said.
.@HillaryClinton on what moved the election towards Trump in the end — she points to Comey letter & Wikileaks/Russia pic.twitter.com/F9mFyz6P4K— Steve Kopack (@SteveKopack) April 6, 2017
It's unclear what Clinton meant when she said people don't yet understand the full scope of WikiLeaks' impact when it released stolen documents from Democratic officials including her campaign chairman John Podesta, but Clinton did seem to hint that more will be brought to light when the book she is writing gets published.
The other incident Clinton referred to was Comey's decision to reopen an investigation into Clinton's emails, just days before the Nov. 8 election. The case was again closed on Nov. 6, but critics lamented that there was irreparable damage done to the Democratic candidate's image and swayed some people who cast early votes.
Clinton also took aim at Russia for its interference in the election. Earlier in the program she said it was her preference that an independent, nonpartisan perform the probe.

Yahoo has announced that it will be shutting down the AltaVista on July 8, 2013. AltaVista was launched in 1995 and it had a whopping 16 million documents, which made it the fastest search engine of the time capable of responding within a fraction of a second. It was founded by Louis Monier.
On a personal note; AltaVista was the first search engine I started using long before Google was launched. And there was a time when we used to optimize websites for AltaVista as ranking on this particular search engine mattered a lot to clients. The major contribution of Louis Monier will be remembered always.Adieu AltaVista!,

Denver (Kitco News) – A professor and foreign-policy expert told the Denver Gold Forum Tuesday that precious metals can continue to thrive even without the demise of the U.S. dollar or the loss of its status as the world's reserve currency.
"We actually have a situation where both seem to be able to coexist rather well," said Walter Mead, a professor of foreign affairs and humanities at Bard College in New York.
Mead is also editor-at-large of The American Interest magazine, which focuses on the U.S. and its role in the world, and writes the "Via Meadia" blog. He was a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations from 1997 to 2010, serving as the Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow for U.S. foreign policy from 2003 until his departure.
Mead delivered an address titled "Challenging the U.S. Dollar as Reserve Currency" during the midday luncheon at the Gold Forum.
The greenback is perceived to be under threat due to a number of factors, including bad government policies, the impact of the Federal Reserve's program of quantitative easing, budget deficits, projections on the cost of future health care and more.
"But at this point, I am now old enough to have lived a very long life of hearing predictions of the dollar's ultimate demise or imminent demise," Mead said.
He recounted that as a lad, he remembers President John Kennedy once saying he was more afraid of what the U.S. balance-of-payments deficit of the 1960s would mean to American power than he was the former Soviet Union. He also cited a number of events over the years that triggered worries about the dollar, including the end of the Bretton Woods system, "stagflation" during the early 1980s, malaise in the U.S. after the Vietnam War, fears that a rising Japanese economy would usurp the dollar, and worries about the twin trade and budget deficits under former President Ronald Reagan.
"All of this was taken by many people over that entire generational length of time as signaling the imminent demise of the dollar as a store of value as a global reserve currency. Somehow, it never quite happened," Mead said. "The dollar did decline against many assets, including precious metals and many other currencies. Yet at the same time, the dollar continued to play a key role in world commerce."
As a result, Mead continued, he is now one of the "grizzled old skeptics who rolls their eyes at predictions of imminent doom because I've seen them come and I've seen them go."
Mead commented that some feel the dollar has to be in sharp decline for a bull market in precious metals.
"I don't think that's true," he said. "Since the 1950s, we've actually seen a secular rise in both the price of precious metals and in the role of the dollar as a useful currency in global financial markets. It is not either/or. We do not have a zero-sum situation where gold or silver prices require a crisis in conventional or fiat currencies. We also don't have a situation in which dollar strengthening automatically means a long-term bear market for gold."
The reason, he continued, is demand for a growing range of asset classes – including precious metals – as the world transitions from a subsistence agrarian society 150 years ago to a mostly urban one now.
"Hundreds of millions of people have emerged into a middle-class existence where they themselves are becoming savers and investors as opposed to simply trying to preserve enough seed grain to produce the next year's crop," he said.
They need financial instruments to keep capital from one year to the next, as well as saving for retirement.
"As that happens, you get a larger need for financial instruments of all kinds," he said. He later added, "We have seen the unprecedented growth of something that is radically new – a global fiat money system. But we are also seeing a substantial rise in the appetite of the world to buy and own precious metals."
During an interview with Kitco News, Mead cited the increased buying of precious metals in nations such as China and India, in particular, as people move out of poverty.

Guys, settle down. The Top 50 list is rarely a good indication for how popular a flash is when it's a new submission like this one. Just wait for all the idiots like you to see that this is higher than Animator vs. Animation 2/Bitey of Brakenwood/whatever else, howl in sorrow because that simply CAN'T happen, and give it a 0 just out of spite. Asshats. Relax that tight anal sphincter and rate the animation based on the animation, not based on where it is in the Top 50 of all time list.
There's a lot of Weird Al music videos on NG, but this one was very well done; it's not easy to choreograph the music with the animation so everything matches up, and you did that very well with this. I liked the little touches like the missing scene thing and the intermission.
I've actually never heard this Weird Al song before so xD that was cool. Is it new or just really old?
At any rate. Nice job with this, and congratulations and good luck with your marriage. =)
Does This Make Me Wanna Give It a Good Review?
Originally when I saw the title of the flash (You Make Me) I thought "Oh lord... a flash cartoon that's going to desperatly try to make us cry at something they thought was romantic". But after hearing that it was a song by Weird Al, my pre-mature view changed completly.
It's always refreshing to watch something on Newgrounds that isn't emo humor (Saying the word cookies over and over again really isn't funny) and, t'be honest, this flash is as refreshing as they come. It's just so cheery. If you wake up only to find that your dog has eaten the work you just spent all night on, then you miss the bus only and it's also raining and you forgot your coat, but then suddenly a car speeds by, splashing your best suit with puddle water and when you finally make it to work it turns out today's infact a holiday... then... I dunno... someone steps on your favourite hat. Well if you've faced a day like that, do yourself a favour. Watch this flash. It will cheer you up.
The graphics are nice, if slightly basic... but it's saved by the extremly stylish way that the author has not only choreographed everything in the flash to go along with the music, but the main character's also singing along to the song, which just shows an extreme ammount of dedication has gone into this!
To sum up, I well reccommend you watch this. It's happier then a fat kid in a candy store and also much more fun.
9/10 - 5/5
Weird Al?
There seem to be many Newgrounds members who are Weird Al fans...Anyway, I don't really care about the music selection, but how did this entry get to #1? It seems that there are many new entries that skyrocket into the top 50, and then quickly get voted off, but this didn't deserve first place (or even top 50) initially. What's so special about this entry? The visuals are mediocre, the sequence of events is just a verbatim visual representation of the lyrics, and nothing was novel. Do people seriously believe that this person created a flash that is better (quality and creativity-wise), than the rest of the top 50 entries?
Wow, so this entry stars his wife and himself...great. Who cares? It's not like it was groundbreaking. Is that the secret to getting a good score (personally relevant, but cliche and emotionally shallow)? I'm not saying that this was a bad flash at all. I've never made a flash, nor do I think I could make one as high quality as this one, but this entry did not deserve its current standing.
and this makes me happy! i can tell you put emotion into this, which makes it worthy of number one in the portal.
the only thing you could improve is the missing scene, and maybe that intermission, though it does work well.
very entertaining, very pleasant, and very awesome.
Keep up the good work
That was great. I really don't know what else to say. I loved it and it is definitely going on my favorites list. Thanks for making my day.

Col Mommar Gaddafi Scam
The Nigerian email scams keep evolving. Here is an example of one of the newer strains:
Good Day,
First let me introduce myself. My name is Madhu Hakeem. I am the attorney for the son of Libyan leader Col Mommar Gaddafi. I am sure you must have heard about the revolution sweeping my country. as you can see on the following links:
This has prompted me to leave the country to another African country which I will disclose to you in due time. Now to the reason of my writing to you. As a trusted aid and personal lawyer to the son of the Libyan leader Col Mommar Gaddafi.
We have secured the total of US$59,000,000(FIFTY NINE MILLION UNITED DOLLARS ONLY) from access crude oil account, this fund was pulled out on the heat of this crises rocking Libya. said fund was deposited with a security company in a location, (not Libya) which I will let you know in due cause.
Now it seems the regime of Col Gaddafi is coming to an end and no one knows what will happen next. Now I have received instruction from my client Saif Al Islam Gaddafi before his death the second son of Col.Gaddafi to look for a partner to secure the money from Security Company. This will enable him have something to fall on, if the inevitable happens. We are ready to let you have 30% of the total sum, while I will have 10% and 60 % will be kept by you for my client or even help in investing for him pending when things stabilize.
I have all the papers to help us in getting the fund from the security company. Please if you are interested in this transaction, urgently respond so that I can brief you in details. But if you are not interested, please treat the email as it never comes to you.
This is confidential and must not be discussed by the third party or unauthorized person(s) looking forward to hearing from you.

Here's a little-known fact, depending of course, on your knowledge of The Internet: Sebastien Loeb started out in life as a gymnast. That's right, before the 38-year old Frenchman found going sideways at high speed an acceptable career path, he was already a local gymnastics champion.
Kind of explains the picture above, then. Here he is, full-flight, at last weekend's Rally of Finland, where he chalked up yet another win with team mate Daniel Elena. And it's a historic event too, as it marks the 500th FIA World Rally Championship event.
Says Seb: "We pushed a lot, sometimes driving close to the limit. To drive like that, you need to have a car you can have total faith in." Yeah that, and gentlemen vegetables dipped in adamantium. Just look at the air he gets above.
The win pushes Citroen's WRC team further ahead in the manufacturer's standings, and of course, means Sebastien is that bit closer to securing another WRC crown to his record eight consecutive wins in the WRC. Eight. In a row.
To make you feel even more pathetic about your driving prowess, consider this – he even competed at Le Mans in 2006 in an LMP1 Pescarolo. And came second.

The Republic of Cyprus, a Eurasian island country has been one of the most popular tourist destinations of all times. President Demetris Christofias has been undertaking large projects to enrich island's position as a maritime tourist spot and also create new jobs. On 7th September he laid the foundation for Limassol marina, a €350 million project that will redefine the coastal city's landscape.
The Limassol Marina Project is in line with the President's effort to modernize and rebuild the infrastructure in Limassol. Realizing that the global rouris environment is facing cut throat competition, their government has placed execution of tourist infrastructure projects and enrichment products on a high priority list.
Other projects that will help boost the tourism industry includes construction of the new Larnaca and Paphos airports, construction of marinas in Larnaca, Paphos and Ayia Napa, as well as golf courses and conference centres. Limassol Marina is known to be a waterfront development combining luxury residence where some 160 of which will have their own private moorings. It is situated at a short distance from the city's old harbor and expected to be ready by 2014.

I tend to agree. But dropping this is breaking CSS2.1 compatibility[1] and I don't have data to know if we are able to do so.

A task force making the rounds in South Carolina to discuss domestic court reform heard an earful in Aiken County last week.
The focus of the 40 or so people who showed up at the forum was on the state's guardian programs to benefit children.
There were some complaints about the handling of child abuse cases where a guardian is appointed to advise the presiding judge on facts and nuances. These guardians are volunteers, but they are trained in what they do and their work can be seen and evaluated in court.
That's not true of guardian ad litems, about whom most of the complaints were centered. These are the people named to act in the best interests of children in divorce, child custody and child support cases.
Even though guardian ad litems get paid for their work, they don't have to undergo any training and, according to the parents and grandparents at the Aiken forum, it shows.
All too often their decision-making is slipshod and wrongheaded - going directly against the best interests of the child.
The complainants are calling for legislation to guide and govern the state's guardian ad litems and legal oversight to hold them accountable for their decisions. That's not much to ask. Indeed, it's incongruous this hasn't been done already.
Guardian ad litems could use some training, too. They should be in it for more than just the money.

And what,you gonna define and make laws regarding bleach physics?
...Actually I would be so on board for helping with that. SO ON BOARD.
And not just oar. DIAMOND Oar.
*puts damn trophy on damn trophy shelf*
And what,you gonna define and make laws regarding bleach physics?
...Actually I would be so on board for helping with that. SO ON BOARD.
The things I've changed are:
The zanpakutou spirit; the release command; the release description is slightly different; using my abilities have an affect on the blades; bankai name is the same as shikai; and some rewording of my bankai effects. If anything is still unclear or should be changed, tell me so I can fix it:
Zanpaktou Name; Kagirinai-Kuuhaku (Eternal Void)
Type; Space-time
Zanpakutou spirit; A wise panda with a robotic right arm, a beard, a necklace made of skulls, a walking cane, and a double-sided monocle (one side magnifies, and the other side shrinks). Kagirinai-Kuuhaku talks entirely in proverbs.
Release Command; Eien no kutsuu o chinmoku sa se nasai! (Silence the eternal pain!)
Shikai Details; After calling the release command, peoples' visions of my zanpakutou become blurry. When their vision clears up, people can see 2 scythes instead of one: Ebony and Ivory. The handles are about as long as my arm and the curved blades are about as long as my forearm. Ivory is pure white with Ebony being as black as charcoal.
With Ebony, I can control space:
When I cut an object, I can cause it to shrink or expand. However, the opposite happens to Ebony's blade. If I make a person shrink, then Ebony increases in size, and vice versa (this allows me to use a shorter or longer blade, for close-range combat). Ebony does not cause the mass of an object to change, however. The size of the object returns to normal when I reseal my zanpakutou.
Ivory has the ability to control time:
When I cut an object, I can cause time to flow faster or slower for it. However, when I make time flow faster, Ivory's blade becomes longer, and when time flows slower, Ivory's blade becomes shorter (if I make time flow twice as fast, then Ivory gets twice as big, if the flows half as fast, Ivory becomes half the size). I cannot cause time to stop, however. Time flows normally for an object, when I reseal my zanpakutou - but any aging is not reversed.
When an object is cut by both Ebony and Ivory, I can control mass. If I increase an objects size, and make time flows more slowly, then the mass increases. If I decrease the object's size, and cause time to flow faster, then their mass decreases.
Bankai Name; Kagirinai-Kuuhaku (Eternal Void)
Bankai Description; Ebony and Ivory completely change shape: they turn into armour that cover my arms and hands, one arm being black and the other being white (Ebony and Ivory). They meet at my back, and a pair of large wings sprout from my back; the arm that is covered in black armour has a white wing, and the arm that is covered in white armour has a black wing (sometimes my right arm is covered by Ebony, sometimes my left arm is, it depends on which way I am holding it when I go into Bankai).
Bankai Abilities;
My powers extend to whatever I touch, and not just what I cut, though everything that was under my control while I was in Shikai, I can still control while in Bankai.
Ebony now also allows me to turn the air into very small items, like daggers (larger and more complicated objects, like a sword or a gun will take much longer). This works by converting the elements in the air into other elements, through fusion and fission. In theory, I can do this to any material, excluding zanpakutou and living creatures.
Ivory also allows me to stop and reverse time. Depending on the size of the area, how quickly time is reversed for it, and how long I do it for, it can take either a lot or a little bit of reiatsu.
Other notes;
When I refer to an "object", it is usually quite limited. If I were to cut someone's shirt, then it would only affect their shirt. If I cut their finger, however, then it would be considered as their entire body, excluding their clothes or weapon. A zanpakutou must have some kind of visual damage for it to be affected; an actual scratch or chip would work (Kagirinai-Kuuhaku is very sharp). A light tap would not be counted.
Also, the greater I vary an object from normal, the more Reiatsu is required. I normally would do smaller changes, and use Kidou for actual attacks. Sometimes, though, I know that I am forced to immediately make a big change and finish a fight early.
When I go from sealed to shikai, Ebony and Ivory appear in random hands (but there will always be one blade in each hand). I can swap them around during the fight, but when I go bankai, they remain like that until I go back to shikai/sealed. From sealed straight to bankai, Ebony and Ivory appear for a split second (again, in random hands), and then they become the armour.
Finally, if someone touches my Zanpakutou before I release it, then they are immune to the effects of Kagirinai-Kuuhaku for 24 hours in their time.
Luppi, on the 3rd of November, 2008.
Though I wouldn't know how to go about doing that.Presumably, we'd start with our laws, and then edit them to fit the bleach universe.

The only thing I can point out is that Dauc's abilities are not meant for team combat. Yes, he works well with Kida, but in a large group his abilties are just as liable to hurt his allies as his enemies. If you were aiming to keep your whole team alive, he's not a good choice. That's part of the reason why I picked you over him for my team. Also, yeah, Zam does have a dangerous ability, but he's well-rounded. Being well-rounded is usually a bad thing in team combat unlessOriginally Posted by ILP
A) Your entire team is well-rounded (not happening).
or B) The person has an extremely powerful (not necessarily dangerous, but powerful) ability.
Better to have a certain number of specialists that focus on each area, and then let each member watch the other's back rather than let the combat devolve into a melee.
...also, I'm more of a Weavile than a Lucario. More speed than power, and is only powerful at close range. Lucario's Special Attack is actually higher than its Attack by 5 Stat Points. Weavile... well, let's just say that there's a good reason that SpecsVile an Nasty Plot Weavile are gimmicks xD
My immediate reaction would be to off Dauc with Blue and myself (me doing the initial move, Blue as the actual killer), thus cutting down not only the biggest threat to our health (though he's just as dangerous to his own team, I don't want to just let him run amok), since I'm the fastest and Blue's release is incredibly quick, not to mention that she can immediately get a kill-shot in if her opponent is unable to dodge without leaving themself open to another opponent. Then Blue would go after Cell, keeping him off-balance and not giving him a clear shot by constantly using her shadow jumping (Cell can't hit what he can't aim at). I'd then go after Zam with my Bankai (not taking any chances with that haxy Shikai of his). MC would get to go after Rotrum (god knows those two need a good fight to work out their issues). ILP would be going after Kida (he's beaten her before, though you would be on watch to see if he needed any help), and Golde would duel with Kusari. You'd be hanging back to deal out damage, give long range support, and heal us as needed. This also gives you a better defensive position than jumping into the thick of things. It seems like a melee, but we'd actually be working in tandem with one another as well.Originally Posted by Arc

Point out some of the many failures of Bleach Physics
Spoiler:- answers:
Air resistence apparently throws up huge clouds of dust when characters try to stop skidding backwards while well over fifty feet in the air. (Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, final battle)
A sword that is 13 km long and moving at a speed of 171,500 meters per second apparently doesn't carry enough force to snap a Nodachi like a twig if both are Bankai. (Ichigo vs Gin)
A sword that is 13 km long and moving at a speed of 171,500 meters per second apparently only stabs through your shoulder instead of splattering bits of you across a five mile radius when it hits you. (Ichigo vs. Gin)
A full-power, full-body charge can apparently be stopped by grabbing your opponent's hand when they try to punch you. (Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, final battle)
The centrifugal force of a spinning roundhouse kick to the chest apparently knocks you back in a completely straight line instead of a curve. (Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, second battle)
You can apparently dodge almost perfectly in near-supersonic flight just by nudging in a direction with your shoulder. (Ichigo vs. Grimjow, final battle)

The I'm pretty sure Ichigo charging at Aizen, only to be stopped by a single finger pretty badly breaks the law of conservation of momentum.
...That's all I can think of atm XD. I don't pay enough attention to "THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!" in anime unless it's dialogue, most of the time.
not like anyone will read it anyway...
Spoiler:- Updated Zan:
And I forgot about the monocle, thanks. If you look at it from one side, it magnifies, and from the other side, it shrinks.
...Yeah, that's pretty much it. Unless someone wants to come up with a mindraping explanation for me?

I really like the quality of the artwork in this episode.
Did anyone else notice that it seemed better?
I don't know quite how to explain it, but the plot for this arc seems better developed than others.
Although, the current arc in the manga is pretty good too.
The preview just made me laugh really hard!

@topic: I'm pretty sure spiritual energy breaks the bounds of physics
anime: man that purple haired homosexual is ugly
Spoiler:- Anime:
I agree with Zam that this episode did seem to have pretty awesome artwork compared to normal. The scenes where Ichigo was in the cleaner looked particularly awesome.
And Ichigo's mystery savior is revealed. It was himself.
Again, agreeing with Zam, thiz arc was incredibly well planned out. Each small event or item is important later on. It also seems to be giving Kon more of a prominent role that he's only seen in Karakura Superhero/Karakuraizer fillers and Fade To Black.
By this point, I believe I have Kageroza's endgame figured out. I'll just wait and see if I'm right.
Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book sounded like the plot of a one shot that I would write.
However it's not better than the one with Hisagi's pr0n.
Holding a nodachi horizantally with one hand can seemingly stop the punch of a giant man. (Ichigo vs Yammy; first encounter)
While standing in a completely relaxed position, an Arrancar so powerful it had to be split into two entities, shows no recoil at all. (Stark vs Kyoraku)
All I can think ouf that Eon hasn't already said.

Yeah, yeah it does XD Deity indeed
Oh wee. So now, ergh, Kageroza and Nozomi are becoming one? o.o
And. We didn't know what happened to the original Captains in Soul Society. >.> Last time they were shown was during that fight, in which they got horribly owned in the end. Aaaaand after that, nothing.
Purple haired homosexual... which one? o.o
Apparently someone wants to taste Golde's diamond oar. Ah well.
Aaaaah so that's who it was. I've forgotten about that scene a long time ago. XD Cool.

Favorite Bleach Character thread in the anime section called it shihakusho. So I googled it again, and everything that popped up was Bleach related.
Well met, friend! This is my signature.
Point out some of the many failures of Bleach Physics
Those are the types of failures I'm actually least concerned about.
But let me start with Ichigo's bankai allowing him to be the fastest being in Soul Society. Being bested in speed only by every single enemy he's fought after Byakuya.
This essentially means his bankai is useless.
Coincidentally, it matches his personality to a T.
...was that a physics failure? I can't tell anymore with so many other failures popping up everywhere.

, correct? In that case, you can't really argue "our zanpakutou should have different forms in Shikai and Bankai" because, well, it's Ichigo.
Ichigo, and Tensa Zangetsu
Going straight from sealed to bankai, for a few seconds, the two blades are formed, and then they go to my arm-our. So it's random, like that.

2 = 1
Spoiler:- Revamp:
Zanpaktou Name: Iroriryuu (Furnace Dragon)
Type: Fire/Heat/Kido
Release Command: Gisei Ranshi (Immolate) (Lit: Sacrifice by Burning to Death)
Sword Description: The sword is a katana with a flame shaped guard. It also has a red line over the hilt and in the middle of the sword vertically.
Spirit (Shikai): Iroriryuu is a large serpentine dragon with fiery wings and tail. His scales are as red as fire, and his eyes are golden. He is very large around 80 kilometres long. Valiant and bold, heroic with a persevering spirit, he stands by my side. His presence always has an air of nobility and divinity. Energetic and optimistic, he overcomes all obstacles in his path. Intelligent and ambitious, he guides others with passion and wisdom. He is very decisive about things, however.
Spirit (Bankai): Mokushi Iroriryuu is much more human looking than his shikai form, yet not as much as his humanoid form. Standing at 8'9 feet (271.2 cm) his body is lean yet muscular. His red dragon skin is mostly covered by armor, leaving only the skin around his eyes, arms and tail to be seen. The armor he wears is what the Shikai and Bankai armor is based on.
Humanoid: In Human Form, he is dark skinned with golden eyes; his hair is black with red tips and is around 7 feet tall. He wears a Gi with a bluish black sash; he carries his sword on his left side. His arms and legs are still draconian, but his body and head are human.
Inner World: It's a Canyon, with a river flowing through its centre. At the peak of every pillar in the Canyon, is a statue of a person in my life. The river normally has a clear colour, but becomes blood read when a strong inner turmoil or tragic event happens. The sky is cloud normally, it rains when I feel relieved or stressed. It becomes a raging storm if I'm angry.
[Battle Data]
Shikai Information: My sword and body get engulfed in flames, enough just to cover my body, when the flames die down, my Shikai is revealed. Light weight armor along with either a cannon for long range attacks or a sword for mid to close range combat. The cannon covers my left arm, while the sword is a claymore.
In Shikai, I can attack with fire from my canon or manipulate fire with my claymores. The fire is fuelled by my own reiatsu and spiritual energy, which means I can make fire out of thin air as long as oxygen and heat are available.
The Claymore absorbs heat at the rate of every swipe or hit. It also can become super-heated during combat from absorbing enough heat and become able to slash through almost anything with resistance, due to melting whatever it touches, before it ever makes contact.
My armor also regulates my body heat so that anything extra will go into my claymore. This also prevents me from becoming over heated and protects me from Fire based attacks and partially from lightning based attacks. (I'll still be electrocuted if I'm not careful.) Which is why I use Heat Lance in conjunction with this, to protect myself.
Furea-Tsugeki (Flare Seeker)
A hundred tiny fireballs are shot at the foe, locking on to their body temperature. They will follow them until impact; but can be avoided by changing body temperature.
Kasai Hei (Fire Wall)
Flames form a protective barrier against attacks.
Rakki-Ondan (Lucky Warmth)
By using my own spiritual energy and power, I can boost my allies overall strength. It comes with the side effect of everyone effected feeling warm and tingly inside.
Kagayaku Shoukyaku (Shining Incineration)
I blast my foe with a large dragon-shaped fire attack.
Atsusa Mori (Heat Lance)
Superheats the air around me until it forms a miniature twister to deflect away moderately strengthen elemental or projectile attacks.
Name: Mokushi Iroriryuu (Apocalypse Furnace Dragon)
Type: Fire/Kido/Heat
When using Bankai, My entire body is engulfed in flames, after my transition from Shikai to Bankai is complete, I'll reveal myself by moving my fiery wings.
In my Bankai form, my outfit is completely changed, wearing armor that covers my torso and limbs, I now have giant wings that become in flamed in combat. The wings absorb heat and spiritual energy faster than my sword.
[Battle Data (Bankai)]
Bankai Information: My Claymore is now sharper and I can now fight with no fear of getting burned by flames at all, or by heat based attacks. (I can freeze water or evaporate it, but can't control it or absorb it.)
Techniques (Bankai)
Kasai Hougeki (Fire Bombardment)
Balls of fire, about the size of my head, shoot out of my Flame wings, exploding on contact.
Su-pa-Shinsei Bakufuu Yakedo (Supernova Blast Burn)
All the heat and spiritual energy around me is collected and released in a devastating explosion, with enough range to cover a mile.
Kaijin Hanone (Complete Destruction Fang)
I channel my flames directly into my blade and keep them focused in the blade. It increases the cutting power of my sword.
This makes it so incredibly hot that it immediately cauterizes the wound it inflicts (unless it's so wide that it can't effectively cauterize it), which leaves an instant, permanent scar.
Metsubou Tsume(Ruin Claw)
I can raise the temperature of objects (or people) by holding them and channeling my power through the grip. If they can't break free of my grip in five seconds, they'll become horrifically burned and scarred for life. After ten seconds, they'll be burned to death.
Kuru Kaen (Dark Flame)
If I ever end up in a mental state that I come full circle and can't possibly be fueled by raging emotions anymore, this attack becomes usable. All my emotions are channeled into my Zanpaktou, leaving me only stoic.
Rational, calm and infallible, emotionless and driven only by resolving whatever caused me to use this move in the first place.
My armor, Body suit and flames turn pitch black, my eyes become red with black irises, all my attacks are maxed out and my speed and power are greatly increased.
Jin, you are made of win.

Spoiler:- MANGA!:
This chapter was AWESOME!
I like the splash page. Seeing Rukia in colour again is always nice.
Ah, that kick. Kubo's gone back to his usual writing style again. But I'm glad. That "YOU WERE CRYING LIKE A SISSY!!!!" line really kind of hit it home, though.
Aha, don't interrupt Rukia XD
I think Renji looks the same.
Byakuya has a different style Haori (his got destroyed, right?) and his hair is slightly different (that hairpiece isn't there) and he doesn't have the scarf.
Hitsugaya grew an inch! Oh, no, wait, he's standing on a ledge... His hair is more similar to when he was a kid, I think.
Kenpachi no longer has those massive spikes XD.
Ikkaku... Just looks a bit more muscular. But his right arm looks kind of weird.
Looks like Ikkaku and Renji didn't become captains, then :/
Okay, so we have 3 captains and 3 lieutenants (Ikkaku is definitely Lieutenant-level) giving Ichigo some of his reiatsu. Surely his body must have some kind of explosion with all the reiatsu suddenly going into him.
Kubo loves the word "despair". Ulquiorra used it all the time "Look, Kurosaki. This is true despair." and Rukia used it 3 times here...
What is it with Ichigo gaining new powers, and always suddenly becoming a badass? A few seconds ago he was crying, and now he's like "...are you an idiot?"
Alright, it looks like Ginjou will die from that. But will Tsukishima also be hit and killed? I guess it depends on whether Kubo wants to give him any lines. Also - if Ginjou and Tsukishima die - this will be the first time that Ichigo has killed someone, right? Hollows don't count because technically they're "purified" (and I think all the ones that he's done are brainless). And of the Arrancars, Dordoni was killed by an Exequias, Grimmjow was chopped down by Nnoitra, Ulquiorra faded into ash, and... those are the only ones that he fought. I think.
Butyeah. It looks like now that the fighting has started, either Kubo will go with the "kill Ginjou and Tsukishima quickly and move on", or "give them a proper ending" (the later of which could drag on for a few more chapters). From there... Probably some humour with Kenpachi wanting to slash down Ichigo to test out his new powers. But then, I don't know.
And obviously, the 3 Captains, 3 Lieutenants, and 2 ex-captains won't join in on the fight at all.
Click HERE to be rickrolled... c'mon, you know you want to.
Spoiler:- I HAVE DEFIED ALL MATHS AND LOGIC!:

Spoiler:- Manga:
Who thinks that Rukia has been an overdramatic motivational speaker so far?
More character redesign...Ummm...did anything chance about Ikkaku?
Ichigo is still using Getsuga Tenshou. Maybe Kubo will mix it up by making up a reason for Ichigo to use the others' reiatsu into new attacks. Doubtful.
IN other news, Ichigo is now past his old level of power tremendously without doing anything.
Deathberry 2. Okay then.

Hitsugaya has a scarf...or cloak.
Ikkaku hasn't changed much.
Ichigo gets to be badass again...so the manga implies. Anyway, the sooner those two losers dies, the better.
Also, Rukia smacking Ichigo around a bit, is what we all wanted to do several times during this Arc.

I didn't expect Ikkaku to, he likes fighting along side Kenpachi too much.
He's just that kind of person...
He got the pep talk from Rukia, so he's ok now.
As ILP mentioned before, there's something odd on his right arm.
Me too...I was hoping he'd becom captain of Squad 5

Spoiler:- F*CKIN' MANGA YEAH:
Oh. My God. Was I the only one that started laughing in exultation when it showed all of the people that gave reiatsu to Ichigo?
Kenpachi seems to have gone with a new hairstyle, I like it. Let's hope he's actually started learning his zanpakutou's name though. x)
Byakuya upped his noble look even more, with what looks like a customized captain's haori. -.- Oh well, he pulls it off.
And that practice swing was stronger than his previous Getsuga Tenshou? Oh God, I hope that he was talking about his Fullbring Getsuga and not the previous Shinigami one, otherwise it'll be way too overpowered.
And why on Earth is Rukia the one that can always inspire us all? Everybody else in the series is almost complete crap at it. xD
Ich koche Spaghetti

Oh yes, that battle was made of lol.
Yumichika gave him a "beautiful" death.
Oh dear, KOn is now my favorite Side character. Poor little guy...
Anyway, Nazomi is kidnapped and now Ichigo is powerless...again.
Strange to see when your powerless in Shinigami form, your clothes just turn white... {Next Episode}
Yup, a rapid number of posts in quick session after the Manga comes out.
Spoiler:- MANGA!!!!!!:
This chapter is damn awesome!
I had a feeling that Urahara made the sword specifically for the reiatsu transfer.
But I didn't expect Renji & co to contribute their powers too. The only thing I didn't get was why Toshiro was there. The other 4 had some interaction with Ichigo, most through their battles with him. But I don't remember Toshiro & Ichigo being close enough to talk.
Renji looks the same.
Byakuya's new haori reminds me of Kensei's subordinate haoris from the Pendulum arc.
Kenpachi and Toshiro looks like they stopped using hair gel.
And Ikkaku looks the same, but his right arms does look different. Maybe he gain more muscle?

Well met, friend! This is my signature.
Do you mean something like using attacks similar to those of Ikkaku/Byakuya/Renji/Hitsugaya/Kenpachi/Rukia? Or am I misunderstanding? Because it's be almost impossible for him to do any of the moves that the others have, except maybe some of Rukia and Hitsugaya's ice attacks, I think.
I don't think he's past his old level (depending on what exactly that is). He's just gone back to being "powerful".
Yeah, that's a shame. I was expecting him to become Captain, though it looks like one and a half years isn't enough time...
Oh yeah, definitely.
Yeah, I suppose you're right there.
He might have started trying, but I doubt that he has.
It's almost definitely Urahara who did it.From what we saw of Urahara and Isshin (and the glowing sword), it seems likely that he made it specifically for the power transfer - I wouldn't be surprised if Isshin knew that even if Ichigo learnt the FGT, Urahara would be able to get Ichigo his powers back.
Hitsugaya comes down to the Real World very often. Him and Ichigo know each other (close enough for Ichigo to call him Toushirou), which is why he probably joined in.
Despite that, I wouldn't mind if Kubo decided to write more on the Arrancars...
I think pretty much all of the makeovers look quite nice.
Edit: Golde and I now have the same number of posts in both clubs: 832.

Click HERE to be rickrolled... c'mon, you know you want to.
Spoiler:- I HAVE DEFIED ALL MATHS AND LOGIC!:
2 = 1
You should of proof read the post, Rex. I knew he made the blade. But after looking at it a couple of times, I came to the conclusion that the blade was a creation of Urahara for that specific reason.With Isshin's mysterious ways, I wouldn't put anything past him.
Oh, I did not know that. Toushiro is that much cooler to me now.

Fine, you both didn't read my post last page. *goes to emo corner*
And MC. XD
Good luck trying to get people to read that when the manga is outI'll read it after I posted all the things I wanted to say about the manga.
Anyway. My thoughts. XD
"I will use this power to protect my friends" Typical Ichigo, as always. >.>
Glad to see the comic relief with Rukia and Ichigo XD
And Urahara knew about Tsukishima. I wonder how.
"He can change your past, but not your future." Awesome quote :3
A sword Urahara prepared for Ichigo... Meaning it's not Isshin's after all.
OH MY GOD. New appearances! Hitsugaya looks cooler.
No pun intendedILPy is right, he looks like his younger version. And Byakuya has a new haori? Though I was kinda expecting Renji to be wearing a haori as well. And that small blob behind Kenpachi better not be Yachiru >.>
Though I wonder, did they do this with Soul Society's permission? I mean, it being against the law and all. Though yeah, since how they might consider Ichigo as Soul Society's savior and all.
Aaaaaand, payback time. Yay.
Another Bleach Physics failure? Apparently a swing from a sword could cause high enough air pressure to hurt people. XD Though yeah, similar as the one we had before, apparently when two swords clash, the resulting force is enough to break apart a mountain.
Ginjou, to quote Eon: "You idiots are bunched up."
