2012 TOP STORIES: As always, the region saw its share of news events throughout the year.
The largest issue by far was fire, but just as big and related to fire, was the ongoing drought. With the parched landscape, farmers and ranchers continue to try to adapt. With so little moisture, when the Weber Fire started, there was simply no way to control it once the winds took hold.
The drought will continue to be a major story for this region in 2013.
A Dolores man was murdered and the Hollywood Bar burned down in August, and a contentious race for district attorney saw a newcomer taking the office. Larry Don Suckla won a spot on the county commission board after running as an unaffiliated candidate. And after years of working to get a new high school built, the Montezuma-County School District Re-1 won a BEST grant and the voters overwhelmingly approved a bond.
Here are the recaps of Top 10 stories of 2012 from the Cortez Journal.
1. Weber Fire
In a summer that saw much of tinder-dry Colorado go up in smoke, Montezuma County was not immune from the ravages of wildfire. The skies over the eastern portion of the county held an eerie glow in late June as fire erupted in Weber Canyon, threatening both public and private land near Mancos.
The fire sparked late in the afternoon on June 22 and ripped through the canyon, consuming 10,133 acres and one outbuilding over the course of two tension-filled weeks. Smoke was thick in the Montezuma County sky as area residents watched the fire grow.
The fire spread quickly, driven by hot temperatures, unrelenting winds and dry fuels. Burning near heavily populated areas, the Weber fire prompted mandatory evacuation of 140 homes, while 390 others were given a pre-evacuation notices. Management and suppression efforts by local fire officials as well as a federal Type 2 Incident Management Team succeeded in protecting all homes in the area with no injuries or loss of life. Cost of fighting the local blaze is estimated at $3.2 million.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the fire resulted in a federal charge of delinquency brought against a juvenile male. The United States Attorney's Office has stated the case is still under investigation and declined to release any more information regarding the suspect or the charges.
Nearly six months after the first sparks flew in Weber Canyon, the fire still burns on some areas of private land, according to Shannon Borders, public affairs specialist with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The small host spots, mostly burning coal piles, pose no danger and have been allowed to smolder the past few months due to their location on steep terrain and the lack of serious risk.
The fire season was far from over when the Weber Fire was contained in early July.
A few days after the Weber Fire started, a lightning strike caused a small blaze just south of Cortez. Resources were pulled from Weber to battle the Escarpment Fire and it was contained fairly quickly.
Then in late October, with the usual fire season long gone, the Roatcap Fire raged out of control. The human-caused fire scorched more than 400 acres and led to the evacuation of a number of homes between Cortez and Dolores.
Roger Stratton, 53, of Dolores has been charged in that blaze.
2. Drought
Montezuma County farmers and ranchers faced a perfect storm of dry conditions in 2012 as a lack of rain and low snowpack led to fears over the state of agriculture in the county and the reality of life in a drought.
Local agriculture producers found themselves in a precarious position in late June, waiting for the monsoonal rains which normally fall in July and August and facing desperately dry conditions on the ground. From Jan. 1 through the end of June, the Cortez area received just 2.59 inches of total precipitation, not quite 48 percent of average. Conditions in the northern part of the county and in Dolores County were even bleaker, with Dove Creek receiving less than 35 percent of average moisture through the first half of the year.
"Everybody knows it is extremely dry," said Dolores County CSU Extension Office Agent Kim Dillivan. "Seeds need some moisture to germinate and there just isn't much moisture out there."
Moisture rates picked up a bit in late summer and early fall, bringing precipitation for the year to 55 percent of normal through Dec. 14. After the county's first real winter storm, Dec. 14-16, county precipitation levels stood at 59 percent of normal.
Low snowpack and instream flows have left a mark on local reservoirs, with both McPhee and Narraguinnep reservoirs recording low numbers. As of Dec. 17, McPhee's active capacity stood at 41,005 acre feet, nearly 100,000 acre feet lower than the same time in 2011.
However, water managers say a good winter could get the area back on track with moisture.
"If we don't see some major storms, we are going to have to plan for a tight water year," said Mike Preston, manager of the Dolores Water Conservancy District. "It could go either way. It is too early to panic, but we will be prepared."
3. 3B bond passes
The necessity for a new Montezuma-Cortez High School building is what voters decided on Nov. 6, but the process to convince voters to vote yes on a tax increase was far from an easy one. After applying for a Building Excellent Schools Today grant to pay for more than half of the cost of the new school, Superintendent Alex Carter and school board member Jack Schuenemeyer flew to Denver in late June to give a quick presentation on why the new high school was so important. Once the BEST board approved the $22.7 million grant on June 28, it was then up to voters in the school district. The grant was contingent on the school district coming up with $21.25 million, and that would require residents to vote for a tax increase. A 3B bond committee was formed and was chaired by Becky Brunk and Orly Lucero to get the word out on the need for a new high school. Numerous meetings were held and tours of the high school were given to undecided voters to show them the condition of the current building.
An intense political campaign was launched with media advertising and hundreds of signs urging people to vote for 3B. All total the bond committee raised more than $22,000 for the successful campaign. The high school is expected to be a 162,500 square-foot building that will be on a 35-acre parcel south of Walmart off Sligo and Seventh streets. Voters easily approved the tax increases by a vote of 5,106 voting for and 3,070 voting against the 20-year bond. According to school district officials and the 3B bond committee, a new school is needed because the current school has security and safety issues, lack of adequate heating/cooling infrastructure, lack of space and lack of modern technology. Athletic facilities are included in the new high school plan and will be located to the new building which will also have energy-savings attributes due to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifications. The start date for the construction of the new high school will be in 2014 and is expected to be completed and ready for the 2015-2016 school year. The current high school will be demolished, and the lot will be sold with the proceeds going back to the school district.
4. Furse wins DA seat
Nineteen votes in the June Republican primary decided who would be the next district attorney for the 22nd Judicial District.
Challenger Will Furse, a local defense attorney, received 1,942 votes to the 1,923 that incumbent Russell Wasley received.
Furse was unopposed in the November general election, so the top vote getter in the Republican primary won the seat.
Due to the razor-thin margin of the Republican primary, uncounted ballots needed to be tabulated before a winner could be announced. After those votes were counted more than a week later, Furse's winning margin had increased from nine to 18 votes.
The race between the two candidates was often contentious with Wasley pointing to Furse's inexperience and Furse mentioning the incumbent's track record, including being ordered by a judge to take classes on discovery issues after failing to turn over evidence to the defense in a high-profile case.
Furse was accused by his opposition of changing his party affiliation to Republican from Democrat to have a better chance of winning the election.
Wasley also had to file petitions with the secretary of state to allow his name to be placed on the ballot. He needed 869 valid signatures and collected 1,358.
Furse had been a surprise victor at the local Republican assembly in February. His landslide victory gave him the top spot on the primary ballot. Wasley was forced to petition his way onto the primary ballot following the assembly.
Furse will take over as the DA for the 22nd Judicial District on Jan. 8.
5. Luther Hampson murder case
Luther Hampson is accused of killing of 27-year-old Jonathan Hayes of Dolores, who was found dead Jan. 14 in the hills near Dolores.
Hampson, 27, is charged with first-degree murder, and four sentence-enhancing counts of crime of violence and being a habitual criminal. He is currently awaiting trial.
According to a complaint filed by the 22nd Judicial District Attorney's Office, Hayes was killed Jan. 6.
Hampson's trial is scheduled to begin April 1 with a pre-trial meeting set for March 18..
At Hampson's preliminary hearing in late May, Montezuma County Sheriff's Detective Tyson Cox said evidence and witness statements indicated Hampson and Hayes had a verbal argument some time around Dec. 31. On Jan. 6, the two men were dropped off on County Road T after Hampson said they should go for a walk.
Hayes was found dead by hikers on Jan. 14 near where the men had been dropped off. He appeared to have sustained multiple blunt blows to the face and a wound to the neck.
At the preliminary hearing prosecutors argued that Hampson was angry at Hayes. Hampson's attorney Justin Bogan argued the prosecution had failed to meet their burden of proof, and asked the first-degree murder charge be dropped.
At first, Hampson said he suffered an injury to his hand from falling down. Cox said Hampson later changed his story and said he sustained the injury when he was attacked by an unknown assailant and assumed Hayes had escaped. A relative of Hayes told investigators that Hampson carried a straight-edged razor in his back pocket.
The handle of such a razor was found approximately 150 yards from the body, but the blade was never recovered, Cox said.
Hampson has a history of theft, methamphetamine possession, possession of burglary tools, parole violation and careless driving, but no violent crimes.
6. Hollywood BAR BURNS DOWN
Just the words left longtime residents stunned and saddened - "The Hollywood Bar burned down!"
The historic Dolores bar and eatery, which was a town mainstay for more than 110 years, along with an adjoining art studio were destroyed in a fire on August 1-2.
Investigators immediately said the fire was the result of arson. The investigation is still ongoing and few leads have come to light since the destructive blaze.
The fire started after 11 p.m. shortly after the Hollywood closed for the night. By morning, a large crowd had gathered to watch the mop-up operation, sharing stories and memories of the old gathering place that impacted so many lives in the area.
As many as 50 firefighters from the area resounded to the blaze. The Dolores Fire Department even strung fire hoses together running them all the way to the Dolores River to pull water from.
In March, the Hollywood Bar was named the Dolores Business of the Year. The bar's owner purchased the establishment about two years ago and a number of changes had been made.
The owner has said they plan to rebuild.
The Fusion Studio, owned by Beth Hensen, was also destroyed.
Ironically, Dolores was hosting a firefighting convention that weekend with more than 15 fire agencies from Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado taking part. None of the visiting agencies assisted in fighting the blaze.
7. Re-1 Changes
From new leadership to an old schedule, 2012 brought numerous changes to Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1.
The year started with a bang when a newly seated school board requested the resignation of then-Superintendent Stacy Houser during an executive session on Jan. 10. The mid-year leadership change came with no warning from the board and resulted in weeks of legal negotiations between the district and Houser, who began his tenure with the district in 2005.
Two weeks after the surprise decision, the district named former Telluride superintendent Mary Rubadeau as the district's interim-superintendent. Rubadeau, a former consultant with Re-1, came out of retirement to accept the position, and stated her primary goal was to establish a system to welcome a permanent superintendent.
Using criteria created by focus groups composed of staff and community members to select the best possible candidates for the job, the Re-1 school board named Alex Carter the new head of the district in April. Carter, a former high school principal in Telluride, had worked under Rubadeau during her tenure in the mountain town, and said he looked forward to implementing some of Rubadeau's strategies in Cortez.
More changes: Before selecting a new superintendent, however, the school board instituted another large change, voting in March to return the district to a five-day school week. The 4-3 vote angered many in the community who had grown accustomed to the Monday-Thursday school schedule implemented in 2009. School board members who voted for the change argued a need for increased student-teacher contact time and noted a lack of monetary savings on the four-day week schedule and the Colorado Department of Education's oversight of the district, currently in year three of a five-year improvement plan.
"If in two or three years we lose accreditation, then everyone in this community will be affected," said board member Jack Schuenemeyer. "The problem is a flawed system that doesn't enable teachers to do their best. I've spent 50 years of my life as a student or a teacher, and 10 hours a day does not lead to quality education."
Students went back to school in August on a modified five-day schedule, with early releases on Wednesdays scheduled for staff development.
8. Dylan Kuhn sentenced
Dylan Kuhn, a 19-year-old Dolores man was sentenced to 90 days in jail for killing his infant daughter, which created a lot of interest around here and around the nation.
Kuhn had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in September in the death of his 6-month-old daughter in November of 2011.
Kuhn was accused of slamming his daughter on a bed, which caused head injuries that resulted in the girl's death.
The 90-day sentence prompted talk show host Nancy Grace to film a segment on the case in which she criticized the judge for what she believed was a too lenient sentence.
In the show Grace repeated numerous times that she was calling out the judge before flashing a picture of him on the screen. The case got off to a rocky start when the district attorney's office failed to turn over discovery evidence to the defense team.
Much of the prosecution's case in September's sentencing hearing focused on a November 2011 video taped interview between Kuhn and Montezuma County Sheriff Detective Jason Spruell.
Kuhn had faced up to four years in prison under the plea agreement, and District Attorney Russell Wasley urged. District Court Judge Douglas Walker to give Kuhn the maximum prison sentence allowed.
Under the plea agreement the charge of child abuse was dropped, which also eliminated a mandatory prison sentence.
According to court documents, police said Kuhn admitted to slamming his infant daughter down on a bed in the early hours of Nov. 1 after a night of partying on Halloween.
The alleged admission came after a medical doctor ruled that the death appeared to be caused by the infant being slammed against a soft, but unyielding surface.
Kuhn initially told investigators that his daughter had accidentally fallen off a couch.
Walker also sentenced Kuhn to four years probation, mental health and substance evaluation and treatment, a parenting class, and not to be allowed to be alone with children under the age of 10. 9.
9. County Commissioner race
Larry Don Suckla had a plan. And it worked to perfection.
The Cortez native and Suckla Auctions co-owner decided to petition his way onto the District 2 Montezuma County Commissioner ballot as an unaffiliated candidate.
Dewayne Findley was an easy winner over Casey McClellan in June's Republican primary for the District 2 seat, but then had to face Suckla and Greg Kemp, who also petitioned his way onto the ballot as an unaffiliated candidate, in the November election.
The general election was a run-away victory for Suckla, who defeated Findley by nearly 700 votes. Kemp was a distant third but still gained more than 1,600 votes.
Keenan Ertel, whose family has owned and operated Ertel Funeral Home for more than 90 years in Cortez, defeated Bud Garner and Pat DeGagne-Rule in the District 3 Republican primary. Ertel ran unopposed in the general election.
Suckla and Ertel will take office on Jan. 8, replacing Larrie Rule and Gerald Koppenhafer, who were both term limited.
In other election news, Cortez native, Scott Tipton earned a second term in Congress with an easy win over Democrat Sal Pace. Even through Montezuma County voted against the measure, Colorado passed a law legalizing the use and possession of small amounts of marijuana. Colorado and Washington are the only states where the drug is now legal.
With the redrawn district lines, Montezuma and Dolores counties will now have Republican Don Coram out of Montrose representing House District 58.
10. Ute Settlement money
Back in April, the Ute Mountain Ute tribe was part of an enormous financial settlement from the federal government.
The settlement included 41 tribes from around the nation and totaled $1 billion. The Ute Mountain Ute tribe was awarded $43 million.
The lawsuit alleged that the Department of the Interior and the Department of the Treasury had mismanaged monetary assists and natural resources held in trust by the U.S. The settlement resolved claims dating back more than 100 years.
Following the announcement that the settlement money would be awarded to the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, a battle over how much the tribe would distribute to each of its 2,100 members broke out.
Originally, tribe members were to receive $2,000 for each adult and $1,000 to children.
Following a wave of frustration and resentment from tribe members over the amount, which they deemed too low, the Ute Mountain Ute council agreed to up the distribution total.
Each tribe member received $12,500 following an agreement between tribe members and the tribe's council.
The incident even led to a failed recall effort of one of the council members.
When the money was distributed in July, armored trucks delivered the cash and tribe members lined up outside to get their money.
The settlement money led to a large economic boom for many Cortez business, including the car dealerships, which reported a huge jump in sales following the distribution of money.
One dealership reported selling 17 vehicles in one day.

|A woman and child sit in their makeshift home and sell food along the principal road in Anibong, a community in Tacloban, Philippines, Feb. 4. According to the Philippine government, more that 6,000 people died as a result of Typhoon Haiyan in November. (CNS photo/Tyler Orsburn)
TACLOBAN, Philippines (CNS) -- Shirley Boco wants anyone who will listen to know that the 1,297 people she represents deserve more attention than they are getting as the recovery from November's Typhoon Haiyan begins to gain momentum.
Boco, 33, is captain of the barangay, or local community, in the poverty-stricken Anibong section of Tacloban. She advocates for a larger cash-for-work program so that more community members can clear debris left by the storm. She wants more shelter kits to be distributed to families living in makeshift housing, or no housing at all, in the poverty-stricken community in the western part of Tacloban. Food packs from nongovernmental organizations could include things other than rice and sardines, she believes.
And Boco worries about what will happen to the fragile homes that have sprouted on the shore since the storm: Many probably will be destroyed again as efforts continue to refloat at least one of the seven large ocean vessels washed farther ashore at the peak of Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda.
People salvaged material to rebuild their homes where they had lived prior to the storm because they had no other option, said Boco, the mother of two sons, ages 12 and 15. People are building temporary housing thinking they may be forced to move again because the government is prohibiting the construction of permanent housing within 125 feet of the shoreline.
"Our people came into our area just to have partial shelter right now because the government has not offered a permanent relocation. Right now, we have to go back to where Yolanda landed," Boco explained.
At the height of the storm, thousands of Anibong's residents fled to higher ground by climbing a nearby hill and riding out the storm. People clung to trees for hours until the water subsided. But the danger they faced did not deter them from wanting to stay in Anibong.
As captain of the barangay, Boco aired her concerns to Catholic Relief Services representatives visiting Anibong Feb. 4.
Boco credited the U.S. bishops' overseas relief and development agency for its programs in the barangay since the storm, but she also asked for additional emphasis on hiring people for debris removal.
Although Boco feels city officials had treated the community fairly, she said the services offered have fallen far short of meeting the immense need.
That makes Boco's regular treks into town that much more important so she can keep the needs of her constituents in front of city officials.
"I go the city hall to follow up on the benefits for the people in our areas. Right now we are always waiting for their command," she explained.
Returning home, Boco sometimes has good news and other times not.
"I say to them we have to stand on our own feet, find some job if ever we can find," she said. "I worry about all the persons who don't have a job. We have to get income for survival, to meet our daily needs."
Many of the men in Anibong are fishermen who lost boats in the storm. Some supplies were delivered, enabling some fishermen to repair their boats, Boco said, but for most, there are no boats left to repair.
Some families who have not rebuilt homes have taken up residence on a few of the cargo ships that were tossed ashore. On one ship, residents painted the message in capital letters: "We need foods, rice and water."

Typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever are serious infectious illnesses. They occur most often in developing countries where sanitation is poor.
Typhoid fever is caused by eating foods or drinking beverages contaminated with specific bacteria. Contamination can be present in:
- Food or drinks handled by someone who is sick with typhoid fever
- Food or drinks handled by someone who has no symptoms, but carries the bacteria
- Water or food contaminated by sewage
- Unpasteurized dairy products
- Unrefrigerated poultry products
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of typhoid fever include:
- Not drinking boiled or bottled water
- Eating raw shellfish
- Eating fruits and vegetables that are raw or have been washed with contaminated water
- Living in, or recent travel, to a country with poor sanitation
- Decreased stomach acid, usually from taking acid reducing medications
Symptoms may include:
- Fever often over a long period of time
- Chills
- Severe headaches
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Rose-colored spots on the body
- Lightheadedness
- Muscle pains
- Swelling of the neck glands, liver, or spleen
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Typhoid fever is usually diagnosed with a blood culture.
Typhoid fever is treated with antibiotics.
Typhoid fever spreads easily until it is treated. In a small number of cases, people may become typhoid carriers even after the illness has passed. People who are chronic carriers can shed the contagious bacteria in their stool or urine. This condition can be treated with antibiotics or, in unusual cases, surgery to remove the gallbladder.
Your doctor may also recommend medication to help reduce the fever. In general, rest and drink plenty of fluids.
There are 2 main ways to prevent typhoid fever:
Careful food monitoring in areas where typhoid fever is prevalent:
- Drink only bottled water or water that has been boiled for at least one minute. This includes ice.
- Eat foods while they are still hot. Ensure that they are thoroughly cooked.
- Avoid any raw fruits and vegetables that cannot be peeled.
- Avoid raw shellfish.
- Avoid unpasteurized dairy products.
- Vaccination is recommended if you are planning to visit a country where typhoid fever is prevalent. Be aware that the vaccine is not always effective. Careful food monitoring is still important.

red lights and failure to stop leads to untold numbers of traffic
accidents around the world. Sitting at a red light with cars idling
also burns fuel that really isn't needed.IBM has filed
a patent
application that outlines a system that would turn the
motors of a car off at a traffic light to conserve fuel. Few will
take issue with green technology that conserves fuel, saves them
money, and reduces pollution. However, there is a dark side to the
patent application that privacy advocates will not like.The
system IBM is proposing has to have access to the engine of the
vehicles at the light to stop the engine. With access to the engine,
the traffic lights can not only stop the engine of a driver's car,
but it can also determine the duration that the engine is stopped and
then when the light is over it can start the motors of the cars up in
sequential order so the first cars at the light get to go first. The
system would use GPS data to know where vehicles were located at the
light.The patent application reads:
fuel consumption is a major component of global energy consumption.
With increasing vehicle usage, there may be more traffic and longer
wait times at traffic signals (e.g., at a traffic intersection or a
railway crossing). Fuel may be wasted when drivers keep their
vehicles running while waiting for the traffic signal to turn "green"
or waiting for a train to pass at a railway crossing. Most drivers
may not switch off their engines in these situations. Drivers who do
switch off their engines may do so inefficiently. For example, a
driver may switch off the engine, only to start it up a short time
later. In such cases, more fuel may be consumed in restarting the
engine. Some traffic signals may have clocks that indicate remaining
durations before the signals change. However, drivers in vehicles
waiting at the back of the queue may not be able to view the clock.
are other aspects of this technology that the patent application
doesn't spell out. For instance, this system would make it impossible
for a driver to run a red light. There could also be safety issues to
a system such as this. For instance, what if a driver had a medical
emergency and the light turned off the car making it impossible to
reach a hospital. The system would require software and hardware be
installed on vehicles at an unknown cost.

Just when you thought that Intel was
through with their product branding, the company adds another to its
repertoire. First there was Centrino which took the notebook industry
by storm. Then Intel launched its Viiv platform for entertainment PCs.
Now Intel is stamping the vPro brand on next generation business PCs.
PCs with the vPro branding will feature
a 64-bit Core processor, Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) and
Intel Virtualization Technology (VT). Intel's AMT technology will be
incorporated into the processor, wile VT will be integrated into the
accompanying chipset. Intel hopes that the combined technologies will
provide a stable and secure platform with unmatched manageability.
Offering businesses avenues to reduce
PC support costs, Intel AMT helps manage, inventory, diagnose and
repair PCs even when systems are turned off or have crashed operating
systems or hard drives. The second generation of Intel AMT offers the
ability to isolate infected PCs before they impact the network and
alert IT when threats are removed.
Further strengthening PC security,
Intel VT allows for separate independent hardware-based environments
inside a single PC so IT managers can create a dedicated,
tamper-resistant service environment – or partition – where
particular tasks or activities can run independently, invisible to
and isolated from PC users.
Intel already has backing from many of
the top names in the industry including Adobe, Cisco, Computer
Associates, Hitachi, Kaspersky Lab, Lenovo, Microsoft, Novell and
Symantec. While Intel's Centrino marketing campaign has been an
overwhelming success in the notebook space, most of us are still
waiting to see what the real benefits are of Intel's Viiv

Blake Lively in bday bee attack
Blake Lively has revealed how her birthday was almost ruined - when she was attacked by bees the day before her big day.
The Gossip Girl star - who is married to Ryan Gosling - celebrated turning 27 on Monday August 25 - but revealed on her lifestyle blog Preserve how she was left in agony when a swarm of bees stung her all over her body in the middle of a photoshoot.
Blake wrote: "This felt terrible. Does your butt quite suddenly (and painfully) deflate when you turn 27? Because mine hurt like hell...
"Then my neck, back, legs and forehead. And oh my hands! They were shrivelling. It felt like I was being shot by dozens of tiny invisible darts. I felt like the Wicked Witch, melting, melting, burning, melting."
She went on: "I don't know enough about insects to say if they were wasps, honeybees or Mother Nature's miniature flying tasers. What I DO know, is that just moments before we were in the midst of a gorgeous fall fashion shoot. Now, I was a Monty Python sketch; running at top speed in no particular direction, whipping my arms and hands around like I'd just discovered they were growing out of my shoulders without my previous knowledge. There was a terrible sound piercing the air too... I was later informed this sound had emanated from my very own mouth.
"I was shaken. I was swollen. I had to stop what I was doing to recuperate and/or shrink."
The fashionista revealed how she tried to calm herself down after the trauma by decorating a vanilla cake to celebrate her birthday.
She revealed: "It wasn't until I covered the counters in coordinating candy sprinkles that I stopped to acknowledge: my butt will deflate more and more, my hands will shrivel and permanently prune, but I will never, ever grow up.
"It took a swarm of bees to remind me that a b-day is nothing but a number."

Today Google finally aired its long awaited
Operating System. The operating system was detailed at a
press conference starting at 1 p.m. EST, and the open source code was
posted online just
before the start of the presentation. The new operating system
brings a dramatically different look and perspective to the market
and just may give Microsoft and OS X some tough competition by
reinventing a tired old wheel -- the operating system -- offering the
first laptop/desktop OS built around the browser and web
A Google engineer set
the mood for the presentation announcing in the introduction,
"Chrome is the foundation of everything we're doing
According to Google, its Chrome browser has
garnered 40 million users who use it as their primary browser.
Google is already beating Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 browser by
30 percent in Javascript speed tests, according to the company (we
confirm this claim in our browser benchmark series, parts 1,
and 4).
That success, in part, inspired Google to make the jump to the OS
market. With the Chrome browser coming to Linux and OS X
platforms, Google thought -- why not make a full Linux distribution
built around the Chrome browser and web applications?
Chrome OS is indeed built entirely around the company's browser.
For that reason, it naturally uses HTML
5 to provide it with rich graphical content and other advanced
programming content. HTML 5 is used for graphics, video/audio
playback, threading, threads, notifications, real-time communication,
and storage -- all critical factors to enabling games and
productivity application.
The company is very enthused
about both the netbook and tablet movements, as they have spawned
cheap, full-featured internet devices, perfect for Google's web-app
based model. Google says its OS is built for netbooks and
tablets and is based on three principles -- "speed",
"simplicity", and "security".
many Linux distributions use some form of multiple desktops, Google's
OS instead uses multiple Windows -- each a Chrome browser,
essentially. Each browser can have multiple web applications
open simultaneously as tabs -- similar to PC-side applications in a
standard operating system model. Ironically, the company's
competitors, in this respect, may fuel the upcoming OS's success by
their decision to release web apps -- one example of this is
Microsoft, which recently released a web
application version of Office. Describes Google,
"Turns out, Microsoft Office launched a killer app for Chrome
The browser window allows you to find files stored
locally on your machine just like Windows Explorer or other file
dialog windows. When you click to open them, though, rather
than loading a stored application, it launches a web one. Media
from attached devices such as Droid
phones, pops up in a new tab and is displayed/played.
intriguing decision by Google is to only offer solid state drive
netbooks in its upcoming Chrome OS models, soon to be released by its
partners. Google says its goal is to make the computer feel
like a TV -- with an "instant-on" aesthetic.
far as security, woes of OS X and Windows will not be problems on
Google OS, according to the company. It says that under its web
application model no app is trusted, so the potential for system
compromise is dramatically reduced. It should be interesting to
see if that holds true in practice. While that seems unlikely,
even if Google can simply reduce the rate of attacks/vulnerabilities,
it may be on to something, though. The Chrome browser's track
record thus far has been sterling, so its hard not to buy into
Google's rhetoric for the time being.
Under the new OS, data
is stored as read-only and is only able to be accessed by a small
list of trusted apps which are signed and verified. Each app is
run in its own sandbox. And user data is synced and backed up
on Google's cloud (which may be an unsettling thought to some).
Despite the privacy concerns, this means if you lose your netbook,
you won't lose your data -- which is certainly a welcome development
for anyone who has ever lost a laptop.
Google will launch
Chrome OS netbooks in the holiday season 2010; tablets and laptops
running Chrome OS will launch at a later date. Chrome's demo at
the presentation was running on an Eee PC, so that seems one likely
target. As mentioned, the upcoming hardware will feature SSDs
and it will use 802.11n wireless cards, for now. For now
developers can download test builds and work with them. Android
apps should run on the OS, to the delight of the mobile OS's
burgeoning developer community. The OS lacks a Silverlight
plugin option currently. It can be run in virtual
Overall, if there's one thing made clear by the
launch to developers and Google's presentation, it's that Google is
looking to drastically rethink the consumer operating system.
Google drives this point home, stating, "We are trying to offer
a choice for users. The model of computing we're trying to advance
is fundamentally different."

Hi everyone,
Here is my mix of my predictions with some other predictions I found in OPEN sites like this one :
I just took the parts with Obito and Kakashi from this site and a fragment from that scenes belongs to a member of the base ahhimane. Other than that, the rest is my own prediction and this is not confirmed nor a Spoiler.
I hope you enjoy it because I invested a lot of time and love to bring this to you. :ghehe:
Note: Some of you might have found this thread before... and yes, it was me,,, it's the same thread... Only that mods wanted me to list (clearly) the sources.
The last Ganble.
The last gamble…
(First scene- Naruto's battlefield)
Madara tries to capture Kurama using Hashirama's ultimate Wood Dragon.
Kurama is seen struggling to get rid of the Wood Dragon as it overpowers the tailed beast.
Madara: This is my right… You belong to me! Kyubi!
Naruto: Shut up! His name is Kurama and his not yours… He has freedom now and he… he has always been here for me. I will never let you capture Kurama, Bastard!!
Kurama in thoughts: Naruto… you…
Kurama: NARUTO!!
Naruto: I get it! Do it Now!!!
Kurama: GRRRAOHHHHHH!!
Kurama opens his mouth and starts gathering the chakra to form a Bijudama.
Madara: I know your power better than this brat… Do you think I would let you do that, Kyubi? … Ha, I thought you too knew my real power better than anyone. – Wood Dragon, OVERWHELMING SUPPRESSION!!-
Kurama: GARSHHHHHHH!!!
Kurama's bijudama is stopped by the Wood Dragon as it takes Kurama to the ground and fairly immobilizes the tailed beast.
…. (Kurama talking to Naruto in thoughts) I can't hold any longer… Naruto!!!
(Second scene- back to the Kages and Tsunade)
Katsuyu: Tsunade-sama, please don't ask me to forget about your current situation. We can save them, I promise … but I need to take immediate care of you or else you might…
Tsunade: Katsuyu… You… you've been a loyal friend. All over these years… ugh (Tsunade spits blood) –
Katsuyu: Look what that monster did to you!… Tsunade-sama, why didn't you summon me to fight him?? … If you die, then I… I would have failed. I was prepared to protect you to the cost of my own life! Tsunade-sama!!
Tsunade: K… Katsuyu…Ever since the Sage Snail assigned you to be my very companion … (cough) you've been not only my summoning… but a very close friend… When I saw you for the first time I… I knew you would never let me down…
Katsuyu: But you didn't trust me… you didn't ask for my protection even when you knew you would never be able to defeat that man by yourself… I feel…
Tsunade (interrupts Katsuyu) : Because I know the power that man, Uchiha Madara, embraces is that I didn't summon you. I would never sacrifice a dearest friend's life … What is done… is gone… (cough).. and I don't regret my decision, not for a second.
Katsuyu: Tsunade-sama…
Tsunade: Katsuyu… There's not much time left for me to be able to perform this jutsu… ugh! (spits blood)…now … do as I say.
Katsuyu: But Tsunade-sama I refuse to…
Tsunade: Katsuyu, you have no choice… this is my last command to you… this is my last bet.
(Scene with Kakashi and Obito)
Kakashi: Madara Brainwashed you did he??
Obito: He's the one that saved my life, After you got my other eye you really did not came back for my corpse at least.
Kakashi: .....
Obito: So how does the do-it-all ninja before speechless huh??
(Scene Shows Obito Making handseals)
Obito: Wood Release "Piercing Strike"
Kakashi: (Sharinggan Activates) it will not work obviously since its a kekkai genkai.
(Scene shows Kakashi is pierced)
Gai: Kakashi!!
(Scene shows Kakashi pierced is just a lightning bunshin)
Obito: Still the tricks... but it sure eat a lot of chakra did it not??
Kakashi: (heavily breathing) for sure my chakra for that bunshin is huge. But he can also use Mokuton and makes him an Uchiha with Senju powers…
(Scene back to Katsuyu, Tsunade and the Kages)
Katsuyu is seeing spreading four clones to bring the Kages to her master, while Tsunade struggles to stay awake.
Katsuyu: I did it as fast as I could, Tsunade-sama. They are all here...
Tsunade: ugh… I can't… take this any longer. Katsuyu, I will transfer all my chakra to you once I release the Saise… (cough). Make sure you transfer all that chakra to their bodies… That should do.
Katsuyu: but…
Tsunade: What is it … Katsuyu?
Katsuyu: I'm not sure if Tsuchikage-sama is going to make it through this… his life force is passing away. Also, the Saisei regrows organs or missing limbs by regenerating cells. It actually accelerates this normal process of the human body … and there's a limit of how many cells can be regenerated in a lifetime, which means it shortens the life span of the person in which the Saisei is performed… therefore, I don't think he's got much life ahead.
Tsunade: I'm aware of that… but he's the only one who has fought Madara in the past. His experience is vital for this war… Naruto might need him. I'll try my best… A medical ninja would never quit as long as the patient still breathes … I made that rule.
Tsunade: Katsuyu… get ready!
Katsuyu: Ready! Tsunade-sama!
Tsunade: Nimpo: Sozou Saisei !
Tsunade's forehead seal spreads through her face and then vanishes while Tsunade starts the chakra transfer technique.
(Scene back to Kakashi and Obito)
Obito: I just want to kill you for killing Rin..
Kakashi: It's just a mistake; The reason why I killed Rin is because Rin was about to....
Obito: Stop!! I don't want to hear it… it's full of lies!! (Kamui Activates)
Obito : Kakashi, you don't deserve to have my Sharingan, because you failed in the purpose which I entrusted to you while giving my eye!!
Kakashi : ?!!!
Obito: I wanted you to protect her… I will never forgive you!!!
(a white skinned fist emerges from the dust to punch on Kakashi's face)
(Kakashi kneels down to dodge the punch and makes hand signs and slams his hand on the ground)
Obito : (approaching further) still using copied jutsus?!!
Kakashi : Water Style : Water Shockwave Needle jutsu
(Underground water around the destroyed battlefield gets collected and bursts out in front of Kakashi in the form of high speed needles drilling through the dust particles)
(Obito still approaching Kakashi slips through the water attack and Kakashi)
(Obito stops at the back turns around and lands a kick on Kakashi's back throwing him into his own active jutsu)
Kakashi : Arghh!!!
(The water needles cut Kakashi's chest parallel and some cuts on his arms and legs)
(Blood spills out as he's thrown away through the dust)
Obito : (His MS changes back to three tomoe) What happened Kakashi? Are you done for?
Kakashi : (Holding the cut on his chest with his right hand and coughs out blood)(His mask turns red around his mouth) Obito!!
Obito : ?!!!
Kakashi : No matte..... No matter how much you injure me..... I won't die before listening to your reason!!
Obito : Is that so? Then we will talk in the new world…
(Scene back to Madara and Naruto)
Madara: That was easy… I'm disappointed.
Naruto: AGHHH!! Don't underestimate me! A lot of people have put their trust in me! I can't fail here!!
(Scene back to Tsunade, Katsuyu and the Kages)
The kages are seen all alive. A, Gaara and Mei are seen standing around Tsunade while Oonoki is still weak, trying to get up with the aid of Katsuyu's clone.
A: Tsunade… you…
Mei: I thought I was dead! … Hokage-sama, you … you did this?
Tsunade can barely manage to speak. Katsuyu remains close to her.
Katsuyu: Tsunade-sama used her finest medical kinjutsu to save your lives at any cost… she decided to save your lives over hers…
Gaara: Hokage…
Oonoki finally manages to stand.
Oonoki: Such determination… this is the real power of the Slug Princess… I'm speechless.
A: Slug… Is there any way to save her?
Katsuyu: …
A: I see… Tsunade… my old friend. I will never forget what you've done… I'm in eternal gratitude with you. If at least there was something I could do for you… old friend. You've saved my life twice…
Tsunade: ugh… There's one last thing I need from you all.
Katsuyu: Tsunade-sama… don't try to speak… it will…
Tsunade: (cough) ugh… Raikage, Mizukage, Kazekage, Tsuchikage… Naruto needs you. I won't be able to do anything else from this point… that's why I wanted to make sure that with my last jutsu, I would protect not only Naruto… but the ninja world. You are the remaining kages… you mean strength, leadership… people need you… (cough) He can't defeat Madara by himself…
Tsunade drops a tear
Tsunade: He's strong… but he's still a kid. He will never grow up to my eyes… Go with Naruto. Protect him with your own lives… because…
Gaara: !?
Mizukage: !?
A: Because he's your last gamble… I get it… Tsunade.
Ooniki: Hm… Then there's no time to waste… your sacrifice won't be in vain, Tsunade-hime.
A: Right! … Katsuyu,take good care of her.
Katsuyu: she's the Slug Princess after all… my place is with her … until her last breath.
Oonoki: Let's go now!
The Kages leave the scene.
Tsunade in thought: All these years… followed by my fears, unable to protect the ones I loved. Never won a bet but that time when I bet Jiraiya would die… my best friend. A life full of failures… Unable to stop the catastrophic attack of Pain to the village… I might have been hard to understand… am I dying already? … Sakura, you need to become stronger, you need to surpass your master… and I know you can do it… Shizune, you were my best student, I remember when I promised to take care of you after Dan's death, and you were so little… and Naruto, you made me believe in you. Somehow, I'm sure you are the boy of the prophecy, the savior of this world. The time has come for you to protect the village and the world. After all… I've always been The Legendary Sucker…
Madara: Hm… you are so full of yourself… aren't you?... I'm impressed by the fact that you, a brat from Konoha, were able to manage the hatred inside the Kyubi…. Yet, as a jinchuriki, you pale in comparison to Mito. You might control this weakened Kyubi, or share your will with its… But you would never be able to suppress the whole beast power as she did for such a long time. She sealed the Kyubi herself to help Hashirama… such a splendid life force, bounded to the wrong man…
Naruto: Shut up!! I don't care about what you say! I will defeat you no matter what! You mean nothing to me!
Madara: I see… I guess I'll take what is mine now…
Madara is seen making hand seals.
Suddenly, a jutsu releases the Kyubi from the Wood Dragon…
Ooniki: Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu!!!
Naruto: !!??
All the Kages appear in the scene ready to help Naruto defeat Madara.
Madara!?... you?? I thought I took care of you before…
Naruto: Wait!!!... Where's Granny??!!
Onoki: Tsunade-hime used her kinjutsu to save our lives but she is…
Naruto: No….. Why Granny?? …. Granny was the last family I've got left…. NOOOOOO!!!! You will pay for this Madara!!! I will never forgive you!!
Naruto rages with tears in his eyes.
Madara: Hm… seems like that old hag keeps giving me troubles even after dead… I never thought she could dodge death in some many ways and so many times… However, I already proved you are all useless against my power.
A: Don't be so sure!!! This time won't be the same!!! This time I carry the last gamble of an old friend!!
Mei: Time to send you back to your grave…
(Scene back to Tsunade)
Everything is white. An intense light illuminates the emptiness …
Tsunade: So… this is it?? Am I finally dead??
A familiar voice speaks to her…
???: just rest… He will pay dearly. I've been waiting for this moment to happen…
Tsunade: who is that… are you…. ?
???: Tsunade, I approve of you and you have made me proud…
Tsunade: ?!
???: Just rest… I will finish what I started all those years ago.

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
Employment Retention and Advancement Project, 2000-2007 [United States] (ICPSR 33181)
Principal Investigator(s): Hamilton, Gayle, MDRC
The Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) project was designed to fill the gap in knowledge about employment retention and advancement strategies that might be effective. The goal of ERA was to identify and rigorously test a diverse set of innovative models designed to promote employment stability and wage or earnings progression among current or former welfare recipients or other low-income groups. As part of ERA, over a dozen different program models have been evaluated over the past 10 years using random assignment research designs. These models embodied states' and localities' choices of program goals, target populations, and program features, and the programs were largely paid for through existing funding streams. The programs were thus "real-world" interventions initiated by practitioners and not programs set up and funded solely for research purposes. The diversity of the models presents an opportunity to explore the effectiveness of a variety of strategies implemented for different populations in order to identify what might work. This collection includes seven datasets, four classified as Core/Final Report Sites and three from Harder to Employ Sites. Almost all of the ERA programs targeted current or former recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the cash welfare program that mainly serves single mothers and their children. The programs differed, however, in terms of when services were first provided and to whom. The Harder to Employ Sites files focus on the three ERA models that served harder to employ populations; (1) Tier 2 program in Minnesota: unemployed welfare-to-work participants who were in welfare-to-work services for a year or longer and hadn't been employed in the previous three months were given welfare-to-work services aimed at addressing barriers to employment which took into account their employment limitations. The Tier 2 program focused on assessing barriers to employment and addressing those barriers through referrals to appropriate services and close monitoring and follow-up. (2) New York City PRIDE: welfare recipients who were deemed "employable with limitations" were required to take part in welfare-to-work activities -- which emphasized unpaid work experience, education, and job placement assistance -- however, the program took into account their employment limitations when placing them in activities. The PRIDE program began with an in-depth assessment of participants' work and education history and their medical conditions. (3) New York City Substance Abuse Case Management (SACM): public assistance applicants and recipients who screened positive for signs of substance abuse were given a mandatory appointment to assess the level of substance abuse treatment needed. Depending on the outcome of the assessment, clients were referred to treatment, employment services, or a combination of both. Noncompliance at any stage resulted in sanctions and loss of public assistance benefits. Information was collected on respondents' employment status, job training, pay rate and benefits, occupation sector, health care, childcare, transportation, and a variety of job related topics. Demographic variables included household income, housing arrangements, number of people living in household, and respondent health status.

Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Gillis provides update on injured Alex Edler, Jason Garrison; nixes Roberto Luongo-Leafs trade rumour
Canucks general manager Mike Gillis made his weekly appearance Thursday on the club's flagship radio station TEAM 1040 and said injured defenceman Alex Edler (back) is "doing well" while Jason Garrison (groin) does not have a sports hernia.
Edler and Garrison both became subjects of curiosity last week when fellow Canuck Kevin Bieksa mentioned they were "unhealthy" and wouldn't be playing in his charity game. Gillis later revealed Edler and Garrison were being treated for issues that arose prior to the month-old work stoppage. That meant the two were not locked out and would be paid and treated by the team until deemed fit to play.
Edler was reassessed this week, according to Gillis.
"It went went," said the GM. "Alex is doing well. He's been put through some really hard workouts over this past week and he's progressed really nicely so we're hopeful that we won't have an issue moving forward.
"With Jason, we've ruled out the possibility he has a sports hernia. But it's kind of like he feels like he's at 80 or 85 per cent all the time and getting that extra 10-15 per cent has been challenging for him a little bit. There have been some strides made and he is feeling better. It's a difficult injury to diagnose and handle and we'll see how he does over the next week or so and then make some decisions."
Gillis also rejected a suggestion by Sportsnet insider John Shannon that he is close to a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs for out-going netminder Roberto Luongo.
"The definition of 'close' is something that is different for everybody," Gillis explained. "I'm not sure why John would say that because that's certainly not the case. Everyone is entitled to speculate on whatever they'd like to speculate on. We've moved very slowly on any discussions with Roberto. We'll trade him when we get what we want to get for him or we won't trade him. Either way is fine with me.
"If we can do something that is going to help us and moves our team forward in different areas, we're certainly going to consider it. But that hasn't occurred yet so I'm not quite sure why that would be said."

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example.
LaunchControl is a fully-featured launchd(8) frontend allowing you to manage and debug system and user services on your Mac. It provides everything you need to load, unload, start, create, edit, remove, or troubleshoot launch services. It supports all documented features of launchd, reports potential problems before a job is even started, and makes sure you always create valid configurations. It supports user LaunchAgents and Global and System LaunchAgents/Daemons. It shows all services and their status at a glance, and misconfigured services are highlighted. You can enable or disable services, and find them with a job filter. Not just a plist editor, it provides a dedicated interface for every configuration key with an adaptive interface that displays only information relevant for the selected job.
xllmnrd is an IPv6 LLMNR responder daemon (primarily for GNU/Linux operating systems). It allows Microsoft Windows clients to get the IPv6 address of a server on the same local network without any DNS configuration and effectively complements IPv4-only NetBIOS name resolution provided by Samba.
ulatencyd is a scriptable daemon which constantly optimizes the Linux kernel for best user experience. The default configuration tries reduce the latency for a typical desktop system and protects the system from malicious processes and groups. With a different configuration, all other types of systems can be adjusted as well.
downtimed is a program that monitors operating system downtime, uptime, shutdowns, and crashes and records such events. At OS startup it logs information about previous downtime. It then periodically updates a time stamp file on the disk, which is used to determine the approximate time when the system was last up and running. During a graceful system shutdown, it records a time stamp in another file. The downtimes(1) command line tool can be used to inspect records of past downtime.
PerlDaemon is a minimal Unix daemon framework. It can be programmed in Perl to perform any task. It supports automatic daemonizing, logging and logrotate support, clean shutdown, and PID files (including a check on startup). It's easy to configure and easy to extend by customizing the daemonloop subroutine.
SwarmTv is a command line broad-catching program that downloads selected torrents/NZB's from an RSS or Twitter feed and puts them in a directory for your torrent program to download. The torrents to download are selected using filters that look at the name, size, and episode/season of the torrent. A mechanism is in place to prevent double downloads. Swarmtv can even send an email when a new episode is found.
A simple image viewer for Java.
A groupware suite with a calendar, mail, todo, notes, and many more modules.

It is all about the hands. Jacob clenching his hands to control morphing. Bella holding Jacob lightly and unsure.ReplyDelete
I love how Edward looks torn. Jacob looks protective and fierce. And Bella looks just confused.
LOOOVE IT! The makeup is AMAZING!! Swoon. I will say though, does Jacob's forearm look really, really big? Popeye big? Just sayin. Can't wait for NM!ReplyDelete
Their faces and body language are perfect.....and they look like their characters - not the 'actors'. and i'm soooo glad jacob isn't in a stupid wig.ReplyDelete
why is jacob's hair short?ReplyDelete

Um, Taylor's bicep IS really big, lol.ReplyDelete
Have you seen him lately? Dude's HUGE.
I wasn't sure how I felt about this poster at first - - I thought there were a LOT of fan made posters that were better, but you know what JuJu? Your comments made me appreciate this poster more - - thank you for sharing.
- AnonymousMay 19, 2009 at 2:41 PM
i would prefer it if bella was reaching for edward. she does that in the book through her "visions"ReplyDelete
AD: I think his hair is short because he's already a wolf. That's why his hands are clenched to control his temper and keep from morphing.ReplyDelete
I love it so. I want to stare at it all day. I agree with Kristen. They are totally in character. Bella looks so beautiful, for once she looks like someone that half the boys in town would be mooning over. And seriously...how could Jacob NOT be in the picture? Especially when his forearm looks so brown and yummy.ReplyDelete
Holy.Crap!!!!!!!! That is so fantastic. Bella looks a little femme fatale here in my opinion. Rob-----there are no words for how hot he is. Even Taylor (whom I don't find attractive) is smokin' in this poster. I'm so glad they found a way to make Kristen swoon-worthy for a change.ReplyDelete
I really don't think there is any way that Rob could be any hotter.
On a side note: Not a fan of Rob's Dad Blazer

İn twilight's rob looked scary this one is better than that. I think bella should reach for edward to. Jacob looks so hot omeReplyDelete
Very very hot-all three of them. It's not what people were expecting, but I think it's really well done. I'm sure there will be more to come.ReplyDelete
I dont like it... not sure what I expected...ReplyDelete
it's different than i expected, but seems...right. having jacob in there makes me angry though, like i was when i was reading the book. ha.ReplyDelete
jacobs hair look's like he's trying to imitate edwards. . .with the little bump thingReplyDelete
I love it!ReplyDelete
I love it!ReplyDelete
and I also agree with Juju, that is the first thing I realised when I looked at the poster.
It's absolutely perfect! I love it so much!ReplyDelete
Bella looks like she wants to tear past Jake to get to Edward, Jakes holding her back in protection and Edward looks so torn it breaks my heart! OH! Does anyone have a fast forward button to November?
- want2BinforksMay 19, 2009 at 7:41 PM
Funny that I didn't even notice the "dad blazer" until someone pointed it out. Just too dazzled by his face and that jawline. I like tha the doesn't look so blueishly pale as he did in the move. Yes, I know he is a vamp but he just didn't look right in the last movie. Glad his face wasn't photoshopped to death like the Twilight poster--it didn't even look like R.Pattz. I laugh when I look at the Twi poster/book cover b/c to me it looks like Jason Priestly from the original 90210!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I love how Edward and Jacob look so ticked.ReplyDelete
yes and may i add this makes an AWESOME screen saver!!!!!!!! lolReplyDelete
ok, it shows THE jaw, but I am very sad I don't really like it.ReplyDelete
There are some fan made posters out there much better than this one, and they didn't have the actors posing for them.
Is not them... is the whole poster... I am sad :(
(or maybe I was expecting too much, I better expect not a great movie)
- AnonymousMay 19, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Do you think it will be more posters?ReplyDelete
I don't like Bella's make up... there's too much. She looks like Kristen Stewart, but Bella Swan. Other than that, interesting poster.ReplyDelete
i loooooooooooove this poster!ReplyDelete
its so hot!
i didnt think it would be so gooooood!
i loooooooove it!
i wish it was in my newspaper
its in other ones
guess minnesota isnt important
Yes, I have to agree with Non. I think everyone just looks a bit strange in this poster. Because I know how good looking everyone is in regular photos, I have to say that this poster does not do any of them justice. Sorry.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 19, 2009 at 9:57 PM
overly photoshopped, bad choice of poses, and edward is wearing eyeshadow and mascara.ReplyDelete
the sad thing is it's better than i expected.
Jujo,u r very observant!!!!! ur comment really made me looooooove the posterReplyDelete

I like the way that Jacob and Edward have their backs to eachother but I don't understand why Bella is looking at the camera "or us". She should be looking at Edward from Jacob's arms and her face should be looking distraught.ReplyDelete
Her face is also less natural then before. Edward could have had a little more emotion in his face as well and a little less make up on. Jacob looks good. I think this poster is a little too Hollywood and lacks emotion.
that's what i thought at first but when i pictured it , it seemed that Bella and Edward wanna be together and Jackob is the reason why they can't which is soo not true.ReplyDelete
but have you noticed that she looked at the camera in the twilight poster too ?
- AnonymousMay 20, 2009 at 11:08 AM
Ya, I guess your right. Maybe it would seem like Jacob is holding her back from Edward. Hmm, I guess I didn't think of it like that before.ReplyDelete
Altough, I still think Edward has way too much make up on. I liked Bella more natural also.
I am aware that Bella was looking at the camera in the first poster, I just feel that New Moon is so much more gut wrenching then Twilight. Maybe more emotion in Bella's face would depict New Moon better. Thanks for the response Midnight sun...
Maybe Bella is looking into the camera on the posters because both of the stories are from her point of view. It's her story that the viewers are relating to.ReplyDelete
I agree, Bella has waaaay too much makeup on. She is supposed to be a laid-back, natural beauty. And I think she should be looking at Edward. Jacob cuts his hair in the book, right? That's why it's short. Edward's shirt is hideous. He dressed soooo good in Twilight. What happened? I also liked his hair better in Twilight. It looks like a fan-made poster. The background is pretty in this poster, but yeah there are better fan-made ones.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 21, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Edward looks like a drag queen with all that makeup on his face and why dose Bella look more Revlon then natural? The change in her face should not happen until BD. I think she should be looking at Edward too. She never stops loving Edward even when she becomes close to Jacob.ReplyDelete
Bella looking at Edward would make sense being that in the movie she will "see" him in her visions.

Has Rob lost weight?ReplyDelete

Vantria FCU to Merge into Apple FCU in Early May
The financially troubled $72 million Vantria Federal Credit Union in Springfield, Va., will merge with the $1.7 billion Apple Federal Credit Union in Fairfax, Va., by early May.
"Vantria has been adversely affected by the decline in the real estate market, loan defaults and bankruptcies, as well as the increased burden of an evolving regulatory environment," said Patricia Malatesta, Vantria CEO/president.
Since 2008, Vantria has lost $5.7 million, according to NCUA financial performance reports. The credit union's net worth is 3.8%. Vantria's membership has also declined from 9,440 in December 2008 to 7,842 in December 2012.
Apple FCU said it will provide jobs for Vantria's 13 employees and keep its sole branch open.
"Apple will benefit from a larger member base and a slightly broader branch network, resulting in greater convenience for members of both credit unions," said Larry Kelly, CEO/president of Apple FCU.

shipper (n.): a person who wants two characters to get together and/or shows support for two characters already together.
Books, movies, television–there's no limit to the type of entertainment shippers devote themselves to. Some wanted Ross and Rachel to date, other shippers waited for Harry and Hermione to pair up and of course others still were pining for Chuck and Blair to make it official.
Tomorrow we'll finally reveal which pre-nominees made the People's Choice Awards ballot for Favorite On-Screen Chemistry, but before that, it's worth knowing what truly defines a shipper. What makes him/her so passionate about two characters?
First it starts with a dedication to the series. Shippers are so intimately acquainted with a show's character set that they feel as though they have a right to play matchmaker. They know who meshes well together and who should remain friends. These are the people who always knew Rachel and Ross were a much better pairing than, say, Ross and Julie, or worse, Rachel and Paolo on Friends.
But shippers also have to stay upbeat even after the deed has been done. Often the build-up is the best part of being a shipper. Anxiously waiting for a couple to kiss or at least realize their friendship has become something more is what these shippers watch for. Once that moment has arrived, a true shipper keeps their eyes on a prize. After all, two characters can always have a falling out. ("We were on a break!")
Do you consider yourself a shipper? Which pop culture couple turned you into a shipper? And which couple have you fought the hardest for? Tune in tomorrow to find out which TV couples picked up nominations for Favorite On-Screen Chemistry!

is the T-1000 of corporations - no matter how many pieces you break it into, it
always comes back together." -- Stephen Colbert on the 2007 rebranding of
Cingular as AT&T, Inc. (T)
purchase of Deutsche Telekom AG's (ETR:DTE) T-Mobile USA would
have granted it an almost complete monopoly on GSM phones in the U.S., where 3G
technologies like GSM still dominate the majority of customer plans.
Furthermore, the deal would have made AT&T the
nation's largest carrier -- with Verizon Communications, Inc.
(VZ) the pair would own 80
percent of U.S. cell phone contracts.
But alas the U.S. Department of
Justice decided that AT&T's process to resurrect itself was anticompetitive and violated U.S.
federal antitrust laws, and thus filed suit to block the deal. That suit
will effectively kill the
deal, according to most.
I. AT&T Meets With DOJ
Or will it?
AT&T is reportedly engaging in a round of last minute negotiations with the
U.S. Department of Justice to try to cut a deal to save the acquisition.
Wayne State University law professor Stephen Calkins says such a
deal could be attractive to the DOJ, stating in a Reuters interview, "It is always scary
to go off to litigation. I suppose there's a chance that the government could
get cold feet."
The company expressed willingness to divest up to 10 percent of T-Mobile's
airwaves and customers in order to escape the perception it was building a
monopoly. A source close to the deal told Reuters,
"AT&T is pretty determined that they can find a solution, and they are
pretty confident."
II. DOJ Doesn't See Eye-to-Eye with AT&T
But the DOJ apparently wants the company to divest at least 25 percent of
T-Mobile -- something AT&T doesn't want to do. Bob Doyle, a former antitrust
enforcer now in private practice, says finding an appropriate buyer would be a
daunting difficulty even if AT&T consented to the provision. He
states, "Verizon's a no go. Sprint [Nextel Corp. (S)] may be a no go also."
As the DOJ filed its 22-page lawsuit Wednesday, sources close to AT&T say
the company is growing frustrated. They remark, "That was part of
the frustration in that AT&T expected that they would have had much more
meaningful discussions and figure out where everyone was, and whether they
could close the gap."
Another source said that while AT&T wants to work out a deal, the
discrepancy in the divestiture figures is slowing negotiations. They
state, "I don't know if and when a new meeting is scheduled, given
yesterday's news."
III. AT&T Arms Itself for a Legal War
AT&T does have some things working in its favor.
While the DOJ did successfully block an attempt by Verizon
Communications, Inc. (VZ) subsidiary MCI, Inc. to
purchase Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) (at the time Sprint) in the 1999 Clinton-era
and EchoStar Communications Corp's (SATS) deal to buy Hughes Electronic Corp's DirecTV
in the 2001 Bush-era, it has lost other antitrust fights.
Under the Bush administration, Oracle Corp. (ORCL) beat the U.S. DOJ in court in 2004 to acquire
Peoplesoft, Inc. And also under the Bush administration's watch the DOJ
floundered in a bid to stop SunGard Data System Inc. from buying Comdisco
T-Mobile and AT&T also have some high-profile legal talent at their
disposal. At AT&T's side is Richard Rosen of Arnold & Porter
LLP, a former communications sector head of the DOJ's antitrust division.
Mr. Rosen oversaw Cingular's purchase of AT&T Wireless and later
purchases of Dobson Communications, Centennial Communications, and
wireless properties divested by Verizon and Alltel.
In T-Mobile's corner is George Cary of Cleary Gottlieb Steen &
Hamilton LLP, who successfully defeated the DOJ in allowing Staples, Inc. (SPLS) and Office Depot, Inc. (ODP) to merge. States
one antitrust veteran, "He's one of the best. He's exceptional. George
Cary is the Lou Gehrig of antitrust."
Also working in AT&T's favor is U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal
Huvelle, the presiding judge in the case, has a reputation for speedy rulings.
The trial could occur within two months, according to sources. And
while Judge Huvelle has previously admonished the pair for providing lacking
information to support their claims, they will soon get enough chance to try to
improve their fortunes.

Larisa Konovchenko: Connecting the World through English and Tourism
December 2, 2011
As a student at Far Eastern State Transport University studying Social and Cultural Services and Tourism, I always knew that I needed to know English as my second language. Working in tourism, one not only communicates with Russian customers but also with people from around the world. Plus, you never know which part of the world you will be in and which culture you will meet. To learn every language is impossible, so we have a common global language – English.
For me, studying in a native speaker country is the best way to learn. I heard about a lot of schools in the USA that teach English for foreign students, but I chose the Monterey Institute of International Studies because my professors recommended it to me.
For a long time I debated whether to go or not to go. The fear and the suspense held me back. But, on June 15, 2011 I found myself onboard a plane and looking forward to whatever was awaiting me.
Luckily, wonderful Monterey was awaiting me. It reminded me of my hometown because of the beautiful nature and ocean. This was a time of great emotions for me.
The MIIS campus became dear to me after just a few days. I met awesome friends from all over the world. Thanks to them I learned a lot about different cultures and traditions. A team of professional teachers helped me to improve my reading and writing skills and overcome my oral communication challenges. Since I left the program, I've realized that it was a huge step up in my life. My worldview has changed. I've become more resolute.
In October, I worked at an international forum as a travel manager in Khabarosk. And, of course, my English helped me there. After that I got a job in a travel agency. So, now I study and work at the same time. I'm not going to stop here, because the world is huge, and somewhere my future tourists wait for me. And, when I get there, English will connect me with them.

How in the heck did Obito survive this?

Maybe Naruto held back...(which doesn't make any sense)
Maybe obito warped at the last second and absorbed some of the impact and flew back
