Minato is a complete failure.
Is there anybody that doesn't think Naruto needs Mazo arm life support now???
Troll bait.

exactly my thoughts
Mazo's arm or the Sage's weapons.
Really Minato? You couldn't sense black zetsu coming to you? Damn it. Poor Minato, You couldn't save Kushina now naruto.
maybe he will die and come back as a titan....no wait...
Here we go again, more cliffhangers and boring dialogue. How the hell are those in the presence of Madara suppose to pose any threat? Garda failed, Minato has no kyuubi, Naruto's dying and Kakashi seems exhausted. But I'm sure Kish will pull some crap move.
Also, what happened to swirl Zetsu?
Madara really spit out the seals -_- foreshadowing his end! Gai and Lee using 8th gate seems reasonable but I'm sure they wouldn't die.
His reflexes are nerfed more and more every time he has a scene.
How are they gonna pull that off? Can Kakashi get it out? Obito is dead so he can't do it lol. How would they even know to use it either
So you mean to tell me that the person in front of sasuke is not there to help and the other half of nine tails has been taken!!! Plus madara is at the battlefiled how can they win..maybe they wont win
It's the plot ._. If minato had sensed it, the battle would have been settled by now u____u

Obito told them that it was what was keeping him alive. Kakashi will warp Naruto and Minato away, they will seal it in Naruto, but Kakashi will still be in trouble.

Team Guy comedy was waste of panel,,, I say chapter culd have been more interesting without it,,,, u_U
4/5,, Only coz Zetsu trolled again
Kishi just hyped him this chapter , you really think he is not doing anyting to save Naruto ? .........this chapter pretty much said he is lol .
Well, he is still epic.
So this was an epic fail, nonetheless, in all the senses of these words.

Probably. Zetsu been doing a whole lot of talking.
1 - He didnt tell us who's in front of sasuke -__-
2 - The flashback was pretty much useless -___-
I mean, she's the only one who saw the tools in action and she probably knows how to use them:
Could TenTen really defeat Madara? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I thought it was possible before. But I'm not sure how they're going to get the arm out when Kakashi has never been able to enter the dimension willingly, he's only been able to come out and he's pretty exhausted ATM. Perhaps this will be Obito's final act before his inevitable demise.

Ikr this is ridiculous
Epic fail, on him this time around.
But he's gonna to sacrifice himself to save Naruto somehow, its to foreshadowed now.

But he is gonna save him in the end tho ._.)

24. Public Administration
Charles W. Gossett, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, firstname.lastname@example.com
In large part, public administration is the study of how governments proceed to turn policies into action. Consistent with this year's theme, "Categories and the Politics of Global Inequalities," scholars of public administration have long made use of categorization to understand what governments do, how they do it, and why they do it: Do different types of policies require different implementation strategies? Which categories of clients or citizens benefit or lose from the choices that are made? Does it matter whether implementation is performed by political appointees or civil servants? And in recent years, the field has been encouraged to revisit the question of social equity as a criterion against which the actions of public administrators should be judged.
While paper and panel proposals on all aspects of public administration are welcome, we are particularly interested in panels that will address the theme of the conference. Papers and panel proposals on the administrative aspects of international and non-governmental organizations that specifically address remedying global inequalities are invited, as are papers that look at the use of categories in comparative national, state, or local contexts. The impact of globalization on public administration at the national, state, and local levels would also be welcome.

It looks like Blizzard wants to force people into a WoW addiction if they want the good gear. My wife and I spent a lot of time playing arenas only to give up because we just could not compete with the uber reflexes and setups of many of the teams. We were able to get some of the gear which was nice, but no shoulders or weapons. I personally tried to hand with a raiding guild, but could not sacrifice the time with my family so I got kicked out.
I guess if you want good epics you must spend 4 or 5 hours a night. This is going to get Blizzard on the bad end of some Washington lobbyists. You watch and see.

i keep getting not listning how do i fix this please?
checksum failed
Incorrect checksum here too.. Could it have something to do with having a Service Pack installed, i.e. differing versions of termsrv.dll
Will this work with Win7-32bit or Win7-64bit? I have Win7-64bit and I get error "Unknown Checksum.."
Win7 64bit Home Premium
Taking ownership of C:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll
Granting Administrators rights
Stopping Remote Desktop Services
Found C:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll
Error: Unknown Checksum… Exiting
Starting Remote Desktop Services
Pausing 5 seconds to give service time to start listening
Checking if Service is listening on port 3389
Service is not listening
Press any key to continue . . .
Did run the script on my win 7 64 bit home edition, it worked, I can connect, but what I want is to use sound card of rdp server.
Is it possible to achieve?
I Will have to visit again when my course load lets up – however I am taking your Feed so i could read your internet site offline. Cheers.
To everyone who keeps getting "Error: Unknown Checksum… Exiting" There is a way around it.
1. Right ckick on install.cmd and select edit.
2. Scroll down to the :CHECK lable or just search for it (ctrl-f).
3. Delete everything between :CHECK and :PATCH.
4. File->Save As… call the file whatever you want but make sure it ends in .cmd
5. Run the new file as an administrator as above and enjoy!
This method completley skips the cheksums all together. I can not garentee the sucess of this method and, of course, am not responsible if something goes wrong and your system dies.
F***cking smiliey faces!
That should say PATCH, with a : at the front.
Oh sorry just another fair warning, this patch stopped woring completley in Win7 Service pack 1.
Try this instead:
when i download the first step, install is missing install.cmd and i guess that is why i cant go further. what should i do?
It seems to work however, I cannot see the active remote screen but a new screen. It looks like my RDP is starting another session just like another user would log in. So, in a way it works because I can access the remote desktop but I cannot see the active screen that may be managed by remote user.I hope that this makes sense.
Thanks for your patch.
It works fine in my intranet but I can not connect from internet even though I opened up port on firewall. Any ideas?

In your nutritional information I find your value for sodium of "070" unbelievable because of the canned hominy and can of tomatoes - did you make an error in that value? I have not made the recipe yet, but intend to do so; in the meantime I give it 3 stars.
Pork-and-Hominy Stew
Docone Posted: 10/30/11
labisson Posted: 01/29/12
this is one of my favs, I make it at least every other month
tricia75 Posted: 11/01/12
My family loved this stew, even my 2 and 5 year old. We use pork loin not tenderloin and it is moist and very tasty.
MarcBrodsky Posted: 10/28/12
Just like the rating says, this is a good, solid recipe. I decided to cook it in a Dutch oven rather than the slow cooker (when I saw all the browned up flavor in the Dutch oven, I put the slow cooker away). After about three hours at 225 degrees, it was still a little thin. I took the pork out to shred and put it on the stovetop over a medium flame (just enough to simmer lightly). After shredding the pork, I turned up the heat and stirred constantly for about 10 min. I added the pork, corn (I love hominy, but my wife and daughter just won't eat it) and dried oregano (I'll definitely use fresh next time). The pot went back in the oven for about 25 minutes and came out just right. The pork was tender, juicy and delicious and the overall flavor was very good (everyone enjoyed it), but there is something missing (Dried mustard? Cumin? Worcester?). With some minor tinkering, this recipe has major potential. I will definitely be tinkering with it!
bfoxworthy Posted: 06/26/12
The pork was a bit dry and flavor was sort of bland. I would note that I used pork tenderloin as opposed to shoulder. I probably won't make this again- however I do plan to eat it all. I think there are better pork slow cooker recipes to be had...

Thinking of switching from your engineering course to business studies or from liberal arts to medicine? Unhappy with the current university or identified a better school for undergraduate education? Well then, a 'transfer option' might be worth considering for you. In the US college parlance, transfer relates to the move from one school to another within a university or a move from one university to another. A transfer option provides students with another opportunity to reassess their educational and career goals and thus select the optimal platform to study.
The reasons for transfer could be several and differ from person to person. However, some of the more common reasons include (a) seeking admission into a more selective or reputed university, (b) change of a chosen major or stream (c) change of location, ie, from east coast to west coast or from cold and harsh weather to more temperate weather, or (d) family considerations.
When is Transfer Available?
The transfer option is available to students who have begun their undergraduate coursework at a university, whether it is in the US, India or any other country. Students generally consider the transfer option in the freshman or sophomore years (ie, first year or second year), as most US universities require students to complete at least two years of study at the university issuing the degree.
The transfer admission procedure is generally different for intra-university transfers and inter-university transfers. Intra-university transfers are relatively simple and admissions are based on the student's academic performance to date at the university. On the other hand, the procedure for inter-university transfers is similar to that of a freshman. While SAT and TOEFL scores, and high school or junior college transcripts are required, more emphasis is placed on the student's academic record during his undergraduate tenure.
The application deadlines for transfer student generally differ from that for freshman students.
Students who have not done well academically in their high school or junior college or have not performed well in the standardised tests have another chance. As long as the student has maintained a good grade point average (GPA), his/ her application will be looked upon favorably for transfer. In addition, the transfer option can be used to reduce the total cost of education in the US. Given that the duration of undergraduate education is four years, the costs can add up quite significantly. A student can go to a relatively inexpensive university for the first two years and then transfer to the university that will provide a stronger stepping stone for long-term career prospects.
While the transfer option may sound appealing at the outset, the biggest drawback is that a student may not receive credit for all the coursework he/ she has completed at the current university. Thus, the student might take longer to complete the undergraduate degree were he/ she to go for a transfer. This is particularly true for students transferring to a US university from another country like India.
There is no uniform policy amongst universities with respect to credits awarded for courses completed in another institution. However, the general rule adopted by most universities is that as long as the coursework is from an accredited institution by US educational standards and the course taken is similar in nature to that offered by the new institution, the student should receive credit. Some institutions have a central department to evaluate transfer credits while other institutions require students to contact the relevant departments to obtain credit for the courses taken. Therefore, it is recommended that in case one is planning to exercise the transfer option, they should keep the syllabus in order to receive full credit for the courses taken.
While there exist other short-term qualitative drawbacks such as adjusting to a new environment, the advantages of the transfer option outweigh most drawbacks. It could not only potentially enhance a students' credentials but also help him/ her establish the optimal launching pad for a great career.

"It's just about being safe."
Thus spoke Deputy Corry Bassett of the Lincoln County, Wyoming Sheriff's Office as he struggled to justify handcuffing Robert Pierson during an August 11, 2011 traffic stop.
Pierson, a Marine combat veteran, had been riding his motorcycle near Alpine when another motorist called to complain about a biker passing a number of slow-moving motor homes. Pierson was not charged with a traffic violation or a criminal offense — but he was arrested and detained in handcuffs for 45 minutes because the sight of a Mundane carrying a firearm caused Bassett to irrigate his underwear.
"I know you have a gun," Bassett said a few seconds into the stop, which was recorded on Pierson's cell phone. "Are you a cop?"
When Pierson indicated that he was not part of the armed revenue-extracting caste, Bassett muttered: "OK, what I'm going to do is – put your hands behind your back right now."
As he handcuffed the compliant motorist, Bassett explained, "I don't like someone with a gun," while insisting, "You're not under arrest."
The second statement is an unalloyed lie: Whenever a police officer restrains someone, that person is under arrest. The first statement is a lie by omission: If Pierson had been a police officer, Bassett would not have complained about him carrying a gun. The category of "someone" thus applies only to Mundanes, whose very existence is seen as a threat to the unimaginably precious personages who wear state-issued costumes.

Awesome scooter. Sturdy, light, and doesn't get flat spots easily unlike MGPs. I currently have the Hurricane which is made completely out of steel. Whoever said that these are bad quality must have one of the aluminum scooters, like the storm. Rating: 8.5/10

Community Gardening Opportunity at the Armed Forces Retirement Home
As someone who sees the community garden plots of the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) on a daily basis, I find this opportunity exciting. At a recent Friends of the Soldiers' Home planning meeting, I learned that the garden area just inside the fence at the intersection of Park Place and Rock Creek Church Road once supported about 60 resident gardeners at the AFRH. Now, there are only a few.
Because of the greatly reduced use of the gardens, the AFRH has offered to partner with the surrounding community and allow volunteers an opportunity to have garden plots of their own in exchange to those also willing to assist AFRH resident gardeners with their plots.
Those with garden plots would go though background checks and become full AFRH volunteers. For more details and to initiate the process, interested parties need to contact Carolyn Haug, Volunteer Coordinator at the AFRH. She can be reached at 202-541-7627 or at carolyn.haug (at) afrh.gov.Armed Forces Retirement Home, Lawns and gardens

For producers with large herds, the dream of robotic attachers on rotary parlors is one step closer to reality.
DeLaval has introduced its prototype robotic rotary, a 24-stall herringbone configuration that can milk up to 800 cows 2X or 540 cows 3X. That capacity comes with a Cadillac version of the automatic milking rotary: the AMR.
"Dairy farmers have been asking for an automatic milking rotary for a long time. We developed the AMR with three key customer benefits in mind: profitability, farm management and flexibility," says Andrew Turner, DeLaval vice president of capital goods.
DeLaval AMR™-details on the world's first automatic milking rotary unveiled
Diagram of DeLaval's robotic rotary system
Since the AMR is still in development and must be tested commercially this year, the units are not yet for sale, nor have prices been determined. DeLaval officials will only say that the units will be sold at an economically attractive price. Commercial robotic rotaries should be available in 2012, Turner says.
The local labor supply will determine whether dairy producers choose robotic milking over conventional systems. "Not the price of labor but the quality of the work determines demand for robots," asserts Joakim Rosengren, president and CEO of DeLaval.
"Whether in Europe, Russia, Australia, South America or North America, if there are no good milkers available, robots will take over the job," he says.
In its current stage of development, there are two versions of the AMR, each with 24 stalls. The basic version has one robot for cleaning and prepping teats, one robot to attach the milker units and one robot for postmilking teat spraying. The higher-capacity version has two robots for prepping teats, two for attaching units and one for post-milking spraying.
With the basic version, one robot prepares all four teats while another robot attaches cups to all four teats. In the high-volume version, four robots work on four cows at the same time. Each robot prepares two teats and attaches cups to two teats. The rotary then moves forward, and the next robot preps and attaches the remaining teats. A fifth robot is used to disinfect all of the cow's teats after milking is completed.
The basic version has a capacity of 50 cows per hour. This forces a larger herd to milk in groups, rather than allowing the cows to come to the parlor voluntarily.
Milking in groups would allow the high-capacity parlor to milk up to 800 cows 2X. Allowing cows to come voluntarily to the high-capacity AMR would lower the number of cows milked 2X to 700.
The cows walk onto the carousel as onto a traditional rotary. Each cow is identified through electronic ID, but if she is coming voluntarily rather than in a group, she can only enter the stall after a certain time has passed since the previous milking.
When a cow enters the stall, the parlor stops at the first robot position, where individual teats are washed and dried. The platform then moves forward to the next robot, where the individual teat cups are attached. As milking is completed, the cups are automatically removed and the teats are sprayed with teat dip as the cows leave the parlor.
The AMR monitors milk yield, somatic cell count and milk color (blood) for each quarter of each cow. However, unlike the stationary voluntary milk systems where cows enter individual stalls, the current AMR versions do not separate milk of inferior quality. The dairy producer must therefore be very keen on the health of the cows and milk questionable or treated cows separately.

The drawback of project based learning
I'm grading all night - grades are due TODAY and I'm not done. Don't think they'll be storing at midnight. Bummer. I just can't take something that took them weeks and grade it in a minute - more like 5-20 depending on the project - and I give them rubrics back that compare to their own rubrics that they used to self assess themselves. We do these instead of finals, so they were due the last week of school just before we got out.
You can say I did it to myself, but really, project based learning is so much better than the traditional multiple choice "finals." Sad, however, that those who take the multiple choice route and may not teach as well (or are required to do it that way) are resting easy tonight while I work.
But good teaching is never easy and I dream and hope to be a good teacher.

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Alex Young tallied 18 points as the fourth- seeded UC Irvine Anteaters upset the top-seeded Long Beach State 49ers, 67-60, in the semifinals of the Big West Conference Tournament at the Honda Center.
Will Davis II added 14 points, nine rebounds and three blocks for UC Irvine (20-14), which will face Pacific for the championship. Chris McNealy chipped in 13 points while Daman Starring tallied seven points, seven assists and three steals.
Tony Freeland and Keala King scored 15 points each for LBSU (19-13), which failed to defend its crown. Mike Caffey contributed 14 points and nine boards while James Ennis went 4-of-9 from the floor to net 11 points.
Neither side could find their touch in the early going as UC Irvine shot 38.7 percent from the field in the first half while it limited the 49ers to just 36.7 percent efficiency from the floor. Despite going just 2-of-10 from beyond the arc, the Anteaters took a 29-28 lead into the intermission.
LBSU heated up to hit on 46.7 percent of its field goal attempts in the second half, but the Anteaters extended their lead and pulled off the upset by converting 10-of-11 at the free-throw line.
Despite the loss, LBSU enjoyed a 40-28 edge in the rebounding battle.

Aesop's Holiday Bird Call
This time of year, the term "holiday kit" gets thrown around with gusto. For easier gifting purposes, best-selling lipsticks, lip glosses, mascaras, smoky-eye palettes, et al. are shrunken down and dressed up with festive, typically limited-edition packaging—all of which is well and good; who doesn't love more beauty for your buck? If you're picky about your products like us, though, it's rare to find kits that are perfectly customized to your personal preferences, which is why we typically like to build our own beauty boxes—or put the job in the hands of a brand we trust, like Aesop. Next month, the Australian apothecary range will launch An Aesop Aviary, six different sets of well-curated skin and hair favorites inside individual cases each bearing a gorgeous illustration of a rare or endangered bird. "The significance of birds lies in what they symbolize: freedom from constraints of all kinds, including rigid ideas of beauty," the brand maintains, which means these aren't your average product pairings. While Quill, with its Pied Raven drawing, is a parsley-seed lover's dream, boasting the antioxidant-rich line's facial cleanser, toner, cleansing masque, and serum, and the Tahiti Sandpiper-fronted Flight contains a highly efficacious hand and body care assortment in the form of Aesop's Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser, Rind Concentrate Body Balm, and Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash, options like Soar feature boy bathroom essentials—its Coriander Seed Body Cleanser, Classic Shampoo, and Moroccan Neroli Post-Shave Lotion, specifically—encased by the teal-hued etching of the Hawaiian Kioea. Talk about a no-brainer for the hard-to-shop-for man in your life.
An Aesop Aviary, from $60, available beginning November 15 at www.aesop.com.

Starting a BIG project
We have a fair in my hometown every year and I learned how to use a spinning wheel there a few years ago. Since then, I've got a passion for spinning, especially alpaca fiber. I've never entered anything in a fair before, but have always admired the yarns and knitted things that people make. Thus, I brainstormed a new project. I plan on buying some alpaca fleece and chronicling the whole process of cleaning the fleece, picking it, carding it into roving, spinning and knitting it into a sweater. So far, I've got some already-processed brown alpaca fleece, an off-white fleece that I'm currently processing and a slate colored fleece in the mail. Wish me luck.

Among them were writers Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, and the flamboyant Canadian industrialist turned professional saboteur William Stephenson, known by the code name "Intrepid", upon whom Fleming would later base his fictional M16 agent James Bond. Richly detailed and carefully researched, Conant's narrative uses never-before-seen wartime letters, diaries and interviews to create a fascinating, lively account of deceit, double dealing and moral ambiguity - all in the name of victory.
©2008 Jennet Conant; (P)2008 HighBridge Company.
"A thoroughly engrossing story, one Conant tells exceptionally well." (Publishers Weekly)
"Reads like a classic spy novel....With this excellent history of personalities and politics during World War II, Conant adds successfully to her previous books that have made vivid the war's background players. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"Simon Prebble, fastidiously pukka in his accent, has a fine 'top-secret' voice, shaded with condescension and understatedly urgent. Coming from him, the expression 'rumor mill' sounds especially insidious, and the deeds he describes - 'eavesdropping and peering over people's shoulders,' forgery, political subversion and general backstabbing - seem wonderfully dastardly." (Washington Post Book World)
"Witty,entertaining, real spies"
This piece definitely gave me the most intimate and realistic feel for WWII espionage. Far from the Hollywood version, but a believable and honest vision of Britain's desparate efforts for American support in their fight against Hitler.
The narration is superb. One of the best I have heard since listening to "Portrait of a Lady". Simon Pebble is brilliant in conveying that wonderful caustic but satirical sense of humour that so British. A great listen.
"Fascinating, complicated"
As the child of a former OSS officer and CIA officer, I found this glimpse into British covert operations in the war-time US fascinating. There are so many threads to this story that it can be easy to lose track of who's who, however. I really enjoyed the portrait of Texas newspaper magnate, Charles Marsh, an intensely interesting character who should have his own biography. He plays a larger role in Dahl's life than many of the other names you will see in reviews (ex: Ian Fleming,Claire Booth Luce, etc.). The "what happened next" section is somewhat truncated, as it should be. I suspect that for Dahl and the others involved in the BSC, it was difficult to create a second act for their lives.
"Unique Aspect of the War at Home"
This is a concise telling of a rather unknown entity that operated in the US beginning in the early years of the war. Many little interesting tidbits of history. A little too much focus on Wallace, FDR's vice president and not enough on the daily workings of the unit. The author covers a lot of territory and you are left wanting more depth in some areas. Fun and easy listen and a new perspective on Britin, our "friend"
"Thoroughly Enjoyable!"
This book was engrossing, educational and entertaining. I learned so much about the relations between Britain and the US during WWII, the inner workings of the White House, and the fascinating persona of Roald Dahl. He was an intriguing, mulit-dimensional person who lived a storybook life as he was writing his own fiction. The references to Ian Flemming and LBJ were interesting as well.
Couldn't stop listening to this fascinating true-life tale of espionage by the British in the United States--politics, Hollywood, James Bondian goings on--amazing. I learned so much from this book, but it was non-stop thrills all the way. Bought the print version as well and will read it a second time. Reader, by the way, was perfect for the content.
"The Irregulars"
I usually prefer fiction but this fascinating history was so excellent that I couldn't stop listening. The story uses the life of Roald Dahl as a focus to explore British Intelligence in the U.S. leading up to the American entry in World War II. This well researched and well written story brings the period (30's, 40's and 50's)to life. I found this story informative, enjoyable and thought provoking. The reader added to my enjoyment, I'm glad I listened rather than reading.
The name is for my wife, the photo is for the old man.
"Fascinating stuff"
This is a remarkable book. The reading is "transparent", I didn't notice anything wrong at all. The book is fascinating, If you know WWII era history fairly well, you'll find all sort of people you perhaps didn't expect, for example Lyndon Johnson and Ian Flemming. I didn't even know how well I knew the works of Roald Dahl, in particular. I've listened to it a couple of times, and enjoyed it on the second listening.
My main complaint is that not enough of the darker "undercover" aspect of the history is revealed. Perhaps later more information will be revealed.
"Pretty good"
Very interesting story especially how these individuals became who they are where. Lagged for a bit but is recommended.
I learned a lot about about activities connected with WWII -- British spys in the Americas, Vice President Wallace, and Washington DC society. I had no idea that children's book writer Dahl had been a British spy in the US! It was definitely worth reading. But, the book was not linear and would jump back and forth. I prefer my non-fiction to be chronological.
"Interesting anecdotes, not enough story"
There's very little narrative about the British spy ring and their actual spying activities and lots of gossipy anecdotes about wartime Washington. It doesn't really deliver on the premise.

Flight 5 of Round Robin Two of the Louis Vuitton Cup was postponed for the day on Thursday in Valencia, the Race Committee send the fleet home.
Conditions were nearly impossible for racing, with a series of thunder cells rolling up from the south, bringing rain, hail, thunder and lightning to Valencia and the waters around Port America's Cup.
In between thunderstorms, a light gradient breeze from the south at near 8 knots appeared, but there was never enough time between storms to set a race course.
A double flight will be scheduled tomorrow, with Flight 5 followed by Flight 6.

There isn't even a pipe where i ride, i just bought these for warm days on the hill, days where my insulated gloves would hold water and make my hands cold. They are waterproof but they do not really keep your hands all that warm, but i wasn't expecting them to. You may want to order a size down from your normal glove size for better dexterity. All in all they are a great glove for mellow days.

So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. —Dead Poets Society

One production down, two to go!Our run of Bye Bye, Birdie at the Huron Playhouse opened the season with fantastic audiences and great reviews; the energy of the cast and crew definitely carried the crowd off their feet in love of Conrad Birdie! We played to a full house every night, and the enjoyment of the audience was tangible in their laughter and cheers at the antics of small-town, Sweet Apple citizens.
Finally! Updates from summer stock at the Huron Playhouse:
We are already approaching Week 4 here at Huron, and I haven't had any time to write updates! So, on my last free Saturday evening of the season, I will give you the story, morning glory.
The Huron company and staff are absolutely wonderful! They are so kind and caring, and they show true dedication to the art of theater. The surrounding community is also amazingly supportive and friendly, as I have seen in my short time here.
It's official! I just signed my contract with the Huron Playhouse, Ohio's oldest summer theater. I will be joining Huron as a company member and an assistant choreographer. I can't wait to begin rehearsals for the summer season and meet my fellow company members! From what I have heard, everyone seems to be encouraging, supportive, enthusiastic, and genuine. Sounds like a perfect combination for a successful summer!
The show schedule for this summer is as follows:
June 26-30: BYE BYE BIRDIE
July 3-7: THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY
July 10-14: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE
July 17-21: GREATER TUNA
July 24-28: CAROUSEL
The dancers of the YSU Dance Ensemble enjoyed a great "turn-out" at our annual concert last weekend! Invariably, the concert always falls on the weekend before finals week, so we don't usually get massive attendance from the student body. This year, however, the campus came out in full force to support our efforts, and we did our best to put on a fabulous show! Audience members expressed consistent positive reviews on the quality of the concert, and many were pleasantly surprised at the versatility of our thirty dancers.
Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar & Grille was a resounding success! Although opening weekend attendance got off to a slow start (being Easter weekend), we had standing-room only crowds for closing weekend. Word spread quickly across campus and throughout the community- this was a show you did not want to miss! It was so wonderful to see support from the faculty and the student body: The Student Government Association, the University Scholars, and the Student Nonprofit Leadership Organization came out in full force! Thanks, everyone!

Born February 7, 1867 Laura Elizabeth Ingalls began her life in the Big Woods of Pepin County, Wisconsin. Her pioneering journeys began a few years later when her father started his search for a farm and home in the west. This journey continued for the next ten years as the Ingallses moved often, faced hard luck, hard work, and shared many adventures which Laura recounted in her "Little House" books.

The Epistle Lesson for fourth Sunday in Lent, year C, is 2 Corinthians 5:16-21.
Using the image of God's new creation, Paul focuses on a central theme in his message: the ministry of reconciling us to God. This reality is something we all share in receiving and join in sharing.
Reflections and Invitations:
The Common English Bible translates verse 16 as "human standards." I prefer the more common phrase, "human point of view." Before the infusion of the Spirit of Christ in our lives we see only a part of life. So much truth remains unrecognized.
This reflects the reality that we want to fit what we see into what we already know. It is very hard to open our minds and hearts to truly see things in new and different ways. We want to understand and figure things out. Studies show that when we see something that doesn't fit our already existing set of ideas (or "standards" according to the CEB) we either ignore them or reinterpret them.
Paul speaks of looking at Jesus from this limited perspective. We hear the words of God and see the signs of God's presence and we really don't see or hear them as they are. We see him as another good teacher or maybe a true prophet, but nothing more. Or we see him as almost a holographic projection of the spirit of God but without the struggles and frailties of a human body. We see his words supporting our already existing lifestyle whether it is conservative or liberal, action oriented or contemplative.
The human point of view seeks to compartmentalize and define what we see.
Yet, the words and actions of Jesus defy easy classification.
Paul calls the path out of the blindness the New Creation. The grace and love of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit is always something new. God is always seeking to find ways to reconnect us to one another, to ourselves, to creation, and to God's own self.
When we get stuck in the process of trying to figure it all out, we draw lines and create separations and divisions.
In a similar fashion, when we define our goodness by also defining other people's sins we build gaps and chasms in the space between us.
God's grace fills in all those divisions, giving forgiveness freely, and showing us the way of Godness: the Essence of life present in each moment, in each space, and in every relationship.
Paul invites each one of us to live this freedom from what separates us and the limited view of life so we can enjoy all the wonders of what God gives us through Jesus.

went and picked up volume 8 of DOGS today
Okay so I got one of school friends into DOGS since I've been meaning to do it forever and its a good time what with volume 8 coming out in exactly a week. He really likes it too so I'm super happy!
But also during this process I'm going back and reading through it all and deAR LORD ALL THE EMOTIONS ARE FLOODING BACK THIS SERIES CONTINUES TO CAUSE ME PHYSICAL PAIN
I missed reading it, it's my favorite series and I keep it seperated from the rest of my manga because it's so special to me. Going back into it and catching up again is amazing but also a punch in the heart because Badou/Mimi OTP feels why this
It sucks the raws aren't translated as fast as they used to be, there hasn't been a translation update for two months (I have raws though, so I am caught up!) but I will continue to love it and make more DOGS fans uvu
My Favorite Mangas/Manwhas
I really miss RPing, especially as Badou. And I know there's few DOGS RP'ers so I'll branch out to any other fandoms c:
If anyone has an RP account and would like to RP with my Badou this is my Badou account: http://stray-gun-smoker.tumblr.com/
If I dont reply to any PMs contact me on this account that I'm posting with so I know to go to that account c:
Series: Dogs: Bullets & Carnage
Warnings: Small spoilers for volumes 4, 5, & 7
Characters: Badou & Mimi
She sat quietly on her couch, warm mug of coffee pressed to her freezing lips. Not so much to drink it at this moment, but to provide some general warmth to her skin. Her apartment complex was currently suffering some.. temperature issues. Kiri had offered her a room in her restaurants upstairs home but she had declined, saying she had some 'paperwork' at home.
But of course there was no paperwork. There was nothing at all. Just her and herself and her small mind backtracking her actions and wondering why she can't just say what she means. It's always been like this, she remembers. Even during her younger years. She always had to be brave for him. But if he knew the truth..
I'm having badou/mimi feels again nnonononono i cant do this i cant
i will be devastated if it doesn't become official canon because if you keep up with the story you KNOW Mimi is hiding her feels. Doug especially knows it but shes just so mean to Badou but she obviously cares for him deeply and i just
Below the cut.
My favorite mangas all in a row. Got #7 today, I sobbed everywhere.
(The one of the far left is a box set with the last two episodes of the OVA and the special edition of volume 0 /w a bonus comic.)
I think I'm going to post some head-canons and/or theories and just and bunch of stuff about the series tonight because I'm really in a DOGS mood

farpitzs means "all dressed up" in yiddish.
email me: firstname.lastname@example.com
follow me on twitter or instagram.
after an unfortunate reschedule due to the arrival of hurricane sandy, lucky shops finally arrived! i was honored and flattered and baffled to be invited by lucky to attend the vip night dressed solely in sponsored garb. (because, like, how often does that happen? i was like "heellllllllll yes.") if you aren't familiar with lucky shops, it's when a few dozen brands are curated by the magazine and host booths in a big open space, offering marked-down goods to bargain-hungry shoppers for three days. it's going down tonight and tomorrow. last night was a more private affair hosted by jennifer hudson. i was tempted to sing a little ditty called "and i am telling you," but held it back. also in attendance were some fabulously dressed internet friends including rachel and sara (both seen above looking headless and amazing), hitha, eileen, jonell, and rachel.
i cannot thank foley + corinna, ettika, sole society, happy socks, and chloe + isabel enough for stepping in to make sure that i didn't attend the event naked. and did you forget? you all picked my outfit! details to come.
note: yes, that is *the* anna corinna in the last picture. i love her.
last night, i had the pleasure of attending an intimate holiday dinner at jadis with fellow bloggers and the design duo dana foley and anna corinna of—yup, you guessed it—foley + corinna. the dinner wasn't about new product or what's coming up for their brand; rather, it was an opportunity to simply get to know them, which was a unique and fresh take on the typical fashion gathering. thus, this was certainly one of my favorite events in a long time simply because it allowed me to spend time with girls that i genuinely enjoy being around, drank dranks, and meet two extremely talented designers whose work i've admired for years. don't even tell me you wouldn't be psyched to eat with the creators of the 'mid city tote'—it was like meeting picasso, you guys.
note: almost everyone in the pic above is on their phone. hilarious.
i'm sure you've been waiting all day to see the foley + corinna fall 2012 collection in its entirety. like, what else do you have to do? work? what's that? anyway, i'll let the images above speak for themselves because the line is just that good. please make note of the classic shapes, wearability, and obvious vintage inspiration. there should be no doubt as to why f + c has become a cult brand with bags coveted the world over.
(i am definitely going to need a moment with that chocolate brown croc tote.)

No-Sweat Skin Savers
Written on December 9, 2010 at 9:39 am , by Fitness Magazine
At FITNESS, we know the importance of a good workout. While the sweat may work wonders on your body, it can wreak havoc on your face, resulting in unwanted blemishes. Here, a few tips to prevent workout woes:
- Avoid contact with equipment. It's impossible to steer clear of equipment when you're at the gym, but it is possible to avoid contact with it. Before sitting or laying down on any of the machines, lay out a clean towel to use as a barrier, protecting your skin against dirt and bacteria. Don't feel like carrying around a towel with you? Wear workout clothing that covers breakout-prone parts of your body, such as the back and shoulders.
- Tie your hair. When you're working out, your scalp produces oil more quickly than usual. If your hair falls onto your face during exercise, the likelihood of a breakout increases. Prevent blemishes by keeping hair off your face and back with elastic hair ties and headbands.
- Hands off! Touching your face is the number one way of transferring bacteria onto your skin. No matter how strenuous the workout, keep sweaty hands out of your skin!
- Clean your gym bag. Let's face it: We require quite a few on-the-go supplies after a long workout. Storing your gym bag in a locker (or putting it on the locker room floor) can allow dirt and bacteria to get in, as does touching your products before washing your hands. Clean the outside of your gym bag with an antibacterial wipe or spray every couple of uses, and store makeup in Ziploc bags so it doesn't come in contact with your sweaty gym necessities.
- Choose cotton. Nylon and polyester clothing hinder the skin's ability to breathe, clogging pores and causing body breakouts. Choose cotton as your go-to material; it allows skin to breathe even during your most grueling cardio class.

Favorite Find Friday: Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser
Written on November 12, 2010 at 9:10 am , by April Franzino
We went on a trip with our girlfriends last weekend, and the most-swiped item in our toiletry bag was Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser. The sugar and olive oil-based facial scrub smells delightfully citrusy and gets rid of dead cells thanks to citric acid in lemongrass and orange peel extracts. We wet our face, work a bit between our fingers and then massage into skin. After a rinse, our skin looks and feels like new—purified, vibrant, soft and refreshed, even after a red-eye flight and early-morning wakeup.
What beauty product do your friends swipe from your stash?

Pumpkin, Spice and Everything Nice
Written on October 6, 2010 at 6:37 am , by Fitness Magazine
With fall well under way, haunted hayrides and homemade apple pies aren't the only things to look forward to this season. Pumpkin-infused beauty products have made their way back into stores, and this time, they're taking over the beauty scene. Not only do pumpkins make for delicious autumn desserts and side-dishes, but they are also ideal for skincare. Pumpkins are rich in antioxidants, and also contain enzymes with exfoliating properties. And because they are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc, pumpkin-infused beauty products are a superb choice for those with sensitive skin.
I've compiled a list of the Fall 2010 pumpkin-infused beauty must-haves, which are available at Sephora, except where noted:
1) Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Gentle Exfoliating Treatment
2) Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Peel
3) Philosophy Pumpkin Spice Lip Shine
4) Zia Treatments Pumpkin Exfoliating Mask (found at Zia Natural Skincare)
Too many trips to the pumpkin patches? Don't throw out those leftover jack-o-lanterns! Try an easy at-home mask by combining 2 tbsp mashed pumpkins, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp honey, and 1/2 tsp milk, and applying to your face for 15 minutes. Will you try pumpkin-infused products this fall?

Running the Compliance Gauntlet
As someone who's worked for years as an advisor to hybrid representatives (those who are both Finra and investment advisor registered) I've seen a lot of confusion on operating as a fiduciary. I ran across an interesting blog by a law firm located in Atlanta titled "The Prudent Investment Advisor Rules" that offers some interesting insights in how an investment advisor can increase the value of their advice, while at the same time protect their practices against unnecessary liability.
I think the criteria mentioned in this entry make for a good starting point.
Registered reps and Fiduciary Capacity
Interesting post from advisors4advisors written by Linda Grey on acting as a fiduciary.
Not only do naturally creative people cheat more than uncreative people, subjects cajoled into thinking outside of the box become cheaters, too. This suggests that the creative process isn't just tied to dishonest behavior; it actually enables it—troubling news at a time when the corporate world treats innovation as an unimpeachable moral good. A series of studies at Duke and Harvard find that creativity and cheating go hand-in-hand. (via fastcompany)

vespertine-doe asked: Hey. I hope you don't mind answering this privately, but I was wondering if it would be inappropriate to get a tattoo of Medusa. I've only just recently learned about cultural appropriation, but even though I'm black and I've always really enjoyed Greek mythology, I don't want to do something shitty just for the sake of a tattoo. Thanks in advance and keep up the good, hilarious work.
I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a tattoo of Medusa; she's a badass, and plenty of people have a genuine interest in Greek Mythology! There's a big difference between really loving something and getting a tattoo because you're a millionth Cherokee and your name totally means wolf brains in Native American. Plus, I've seen some pretty stellar Medusa tattoos, and one more certainly wouldn't hurt.
EDIT: Didn't look closely enough; saw the blank Tumblr picture and totally thought the user was anon. Sorry!
reblogging this cause fnotattoos explained my views on the whole 'cultural appropriation in tattoos' debate better than I could.
Yes getting a huge wrist tattoo based on a pro wrestling stable that hasn't even been around for a year is a great idea already, let's just go ahead and put it upside down as well!
Though it is kind of fitting because one of the guys in the stable has an upside…
If this is how your wrist tattoo is, it is upside down. See every other post on this blog, especially the ones that are reblogs of actual tattoo artists explaining why.
Anonymous asked: So I would love to get a yawning fox on the inside of my forearm and am somewhat confused as to the orientation. Should the face be towards my wrist and tail towards my elbow, or the other way around?
When you hold your arms straight out in front of you, the image should be upside down to you.
annedub asked: At first I thought that the flag was backwards too, but I have been notified that if the flag is on your person, the field of stars is to be closest to your heart, so it's technically correct!
Ugh I dunno it's military (I assume) rules vs tattoo rules. I guess either way is technically ok, but it still just looks wrong to me.
