Just curious...how many still send these?
I send them out. I like the tradition, it feels quaint and lovely.
Yes, I created and ordered cards from Shutterfly that are folded.
I wrote a personal greeting and message on each one that I sent. I love getting cards, so I make sure to send them.
I hand make them (about 40 every year), add a picture of the kids, write a personal message in the majority and pray for each family, and address them (I so need to get address labels). My cards are made, and pictured but not written out yet. I enjoy thinking about each family member or friend and just having that time to be grateful for what they've added to my life in the past year.
I write 350 at work, so if your family, hell no.
Lol I'd love to see the difference between card #1 and card #350!!
I can see you on like the fifth vodka shot, cursing the holidays, etc.!
Quoting sherry132:
I write 350 at work, so if your family, hell no.

And Now for Something Completely Different!
Genre: Humor/Parody/Romance/Friendship
Pairings: Sakura/Everyone, other minor pairings
Rating: T to M
Summary: Series of pointless, random, fluffy, plot-less, and humorous one-shots focused on Haruno Sakura. OOC-ness ahead!
Warning: Cursing, sexual hints & humor, character poking, OOC characters, not very canon, and lot of mindless humor.
Dedicated: To the lovers and fans of Haruno Sakura and all of those who really just want a nice, good laugh!
Story One: Sakura's stay at the Akatsuki.
An Akatsuki's Sleepover
"How the hell did this happen?" Sakura asked to no one in particular as she sat on her bed in the well-furnished room. It really was a nice room. Lovely even. There was a large bed, bookshelves filled with medical books, even a bunch of stuffed toys in a corner.
It was like this room was primed with all the details for her.
It creeped Sakura out.
"Friggen old lady. Stupid puppet." She grumbled, glaring daggers at the door.
Her situation was not a normal one that was for sure. Hell, she never expected something like this to happen. Sure she was the apprentice of the current Hokage. And yes, she was the student of the infamous Hatake Kakashi. And, ok, sure her best friend (and possible love interest) was Uzumaki Naruto.
But still didn't mean she should've been kidnapped by the Akatsuki! It just wasn't fair!
The pinkette girl grumbled, getting very upset by the passing seconds.
As she was fighting against Sasori one of his limbs grazed upon her skin filling her with venom that led her to be paralyzed in a matter of seconds, if she wasn't Haruno Sakura she might've been killed instead of limp.
That wouldn't have been so bad. She had a comrade at the moment. All she needed was a few seconds of help and she would've been right as rain.
Too bad she never got that friggen help.
Chiyou-Baa-sama had left her behind with laughter and a peace sign, chortling something about great-grandchildren. Whatever that meant.
The point was, the old hag had betrayed her. She had been in communication with her grandson and had planned for this to happen from the start.
To think that Sakura liked the old hag.
She thought she would be killed. There was no way she could counter-act the venom with the Akatsuki member approaching. If he fell and cracked his pretty little skull, maybe. But not when he was hurrying to her side, more venom at the ready.
But instead of killing her, he picked her up once he was sure she would remain limp (and not rip his teeth from his gums) and left.
Sakura had been in a panic. He took her to the secret base and she had found herself surrounded by members of the dreaded Akatsuki. With half-lidded eyes she watched as they talked to each other. Everything had been incoherent thanks to the drugs so she was unable to make out their plan, sadly.
But she gathered that they were arguing over something. Heck, Kisame even had the gall to slap the blond, Deidara if her memory was functioning right, over the head.
Finally they seemed to agree on something and she was found in the arms of none other than Uchiha Itachi.
Oh, Sakura had wanted to scream. She wanted to snarl, bite, and punch. This was the man that caused Sasuke to go all bastard on all of them! When she was able to move without feeling high the man's ponytail was going to be his noose!
He had brought her to the room she was currently in and with act of tenderness she didn't know an Uchiha had tucked her in and brushed a strand of hair from her face before leaving.
A few hours later, present time, Sakura was now wide-awake, fully capable of moving, and waiting for someone to come in and explain what is happening.
Too say she was pissed was beyond an understatement. Her ego was bruised, her trust shattered, and she was starving. The first person to walk inside the room was going to receive absolute hell. Banshee-level hell.
The coral-pink-haired girl stiffened when she heard and felt movement from the other side of the door. She remained calm, ready to pounce and kill the man who walked in the door.
With a creak the door slowly opened and a pale blue hand with black-nail polish flicked a switch, leaving her momentarily blind by the light. Looking up she was ready to begin cursing at Itachi's partner when her jaw dropped.
There was Kisame with a big grin and a blush on his face, an apron around his body, a tray of food in one hand, and an Akatsuki style cloak (though it appeared more feminine) in the other.
"Hello Sakura-chan! I hope you slept well!" He chirped.
"Urm…Yes, thank-you?" She squawked back, not one for being rude when she was being spoken to so politely. His grin went wider as he handed her the tray, looking down she was in awe too see the amazing breakfast selection before her. "Um…Thanks." Looking up she noticed he was fidgeting. "Did you make this?"
"Oh!" He looked around bashfully. "Yes I did."
"It looks marvelous." She took a bite, her charka all set to counter-act any poisons. She was pleasantly surprised when it not only did not have poison it was very good. "And it taste as good as it looks. Thank you er…" Well he was calling her Sakura-chan so her guess was that she could call him his name with a Kun. "Kisame-kun?"
His face went from its normal blue to a bright red as he began to sputter, "O-oh, i-it's not that good! Um…Here!" He shoved the item of clothing under her nose. "I made this just for you!"
Here was a deadly shinobi part of the most deadly-shinobi-group and he was acting like a schoolboy with a crush. Not fully understanding what was going on she grasped the cloak and looked up at him.
Was this another ruse? Was he trying to get her guard down so he could kill her without looking?
Kisame fidgeted again and did something she thought no man would do; he cried out and ran from her room and into the hall, looking much like a certain white-eyed female she knew. "Um…uuuh…wait…what?"
Shizune gasped as her sensei told her the news; Haruno Sakura is now the prisoner of the Akatsuki.
"Wh-what?! How did this happen? Have we received any news from the group yet? Are they using her as bait or ransom to get Naruto-kun? Dear Kami-sama! What if they're raping her?" The black-haired woman's sorrows were cut off when her blond teacher gave off a sob.
Holding on to her hand-made Sakura-plushie, her desk surrounded by pictures of the pink-haired girl, the Hokage cried. "MY BABY!" She wailed as she hugged the doll tighter to her chest. "MY PRECIOUS BABY!"
"Er…Tsuande-sama?" The younger woman asked stepping away slightly from the woman. It was known that during the training Tsunade gave Sakura the two had grown very close, like mother and daughter, and the blond was more than over-protective over the small teenager. "Sh-should we form a group to go and get her back?"
"I WANT MY BABY BACK!" Somewhere in the background the Chili's theme song began.
"That's a yes." Shizune sighed as she began to make the arrangements for a group to bring back Konoha's Cherry Blossom.
Grasping the handle of her door, Sakura wanted to hit herself on the head. It was unlocked; it had been the entire time, meaning she has been sitting on her ass, staring at the door waiting for someone to come in, and it had been unlock the whole time.
"Stupid Haruno." She grunted. Taking a moment of preparation, she inhaled and exhaled. She needed to be ready for anything she would be facing outside this door.
Growling she pushed the door opened and looked around the hall-way blinking at all the many doors that she saw.
"Damn it. I had hoped this would be easy." She muttered angrily as she looked back and forth down the hallway, not knowing which direction she should take.
Her plotting was cut off when arms wrapped around her waist, "Saku-chan!"
Squealing she elbowed the intruder in the stomach and spun around and landed in a fighting position only to stop and blink at the sight before her. A feminine looking blond-male, whose hairstyle was quite similar to her rival and friend's, was gasping but grinning like an idiot as he hunched over clutching his stomach.
"Nice shot Saku-chan! Yeah!"
"Err…? Thank you?" He looked familiar; she believed he was the one that Naruto and Kakashi-Sensei went after. 'Oh yeah, that's right. He stole Gaara-san and the two went after them—Deidara or something.' Scratching the back of her head she gave him a nervous grin, "Um…what's your name?"
His grin grew wider, "I'm Deidara! Please to meet'cha Saku-chan!" He chirped.
'What. The. Hell?' Sakura thought, twitching.
The Akatsuki was well known as being cold, cruel, calculating, and merciless. But so far the ones she has met have been like little boys.
Kisame was shy and Deidara is a mischievous kid that looked like he wanted to blow something up.
"Why am I here exactly?" She mentally cursed, that certainly did not sound threatening. "I mean—What the hell am I doing here you bastard?" She growled out, now that sounded better. Much more menacing.
But instead of having the male grovel at her feat in fear at her strength and amazing ways of the ninja, he laughed. The type of laugh Kakashi use to do whenever she tried to perform a task but failed. The 'aw-you're-to-cute-to-yell-at' type of laugh that made her sick. She made sure her sensei understood that she was not just a pretty face.
And she was about to do the same to this jerk.
"Stop laughing at me!" Sakura screamed as she punched the ground, shattering it beneath their feet. Her chakra hadn't been sealed. That was nice to know.
The blond flipped back with a squeak.
"S-sorry Sakura-chan! I really am, yeah!" To her confusion, amazement, and horror, his eyes began to tear up. "I r-really a-am! Don-don't hate me, un!" He then began to sob as he fell to his knees. Every so often she could hear a whimper of "yeah" and "sorry".
Sakura, being the easily moved and kind person she is, had guilt instantly sweep over her. She truly had a very tender heart that really never did her any good.
"O-oh, um…it's ok. I guess I was being too sensitive…" Of course she wasn't! She was still far too naturally inclined to apologize for something that wasn't her fault! "It's ok Deidara—er—kun? I don't hate you?"
It came off more of a question than a statement, but the blond didn't seem to know this as his visible eye brightened as he tackled her to the ground.
"OOOOH! THANK YOU SAKU-CHAN!" He sang out as he nuzzled himself against the side of her face. "You're so kind and forgiving! Have my babies!" And his mouth descended on her what almost appeared to go in slow motion.
"HUH?!" She squeaked as she froze up.
However just as when his mouth was about to brush against hers an artificial hand grabbed his hair and tossed him over a shoulder. "WHAAAA!" The clay-maker cried out as he connected to the wall, face-first.
Sakura blinked when she found herself scooped up in another pair of artificial arms. Looking up she came across two cold brown eyes and a messy mop of red-hair.
"YOU! YOU PUPPET-ASS-BASTARD!" She screamed and punched him square in the face.
"WHAAAAAT!?" The normal soft-spoken and withdrawn Hinata screamed at the top of her lungs as the rest of the chunins gasped out and looked on in horror. "SAKURA-CHAN HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED!" She then spun on her heels and punched Naruto, but grabbed his collar to prevent him from flying off. She then gave Kakashi an uppercut to the jaw but grabbed the mask and pulled him down to her eye level. "AND YOU TWO MORONS JUST ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN?!"
The two males were knocked out at the moment and were unable to answer the unstable Hyuuga-female, which lead to her anger to grow. "ANSWER ME YOU DAMN IDIOTS!"
"WHAAAA! I WANT MY CHERRY BLOSSOM BACK!" Tsunade cried out, clearly unaware at what was happening seeing as she was too consumed with her anguish. "MY BABY! MY ADORABLE LITTLE BABY!"
"Tsunade-sama," Hyuuga Neji began as he stepped foreword looking as calm as ever, though inside he was pissed off as hell. 'MY SAKURA-CHAN IS SUROUNDED BY MEN! SHE SHOULD BE SUROUNDED BY ME!' At the moment he didn't really care if that made sense or not, right now he was about to kick major ass, starting with the two people who should've been protecting her on the mission. "We will get Sakura-san back."
TenTen and Lee were moping in a corner. Gloom was the only term that could be used to describe them. They were cultivating mushrooms in a corner, rain clouds dumping water on them.
"We left her alone. We left Sakura-chan alone." The brunette moaned, tears pouring down her face.
"My Sakura-san…." Was all that Lee produced.
"CHAAAAA!" Ino screamed. "MY BEST FRIEND IS OUT THERE AND ALL WE ARE DOING IS TALKING! SCREW THAT!" She then punched her open-palm. "Let's get it on! I'm ready to kick ass and take no prisoners!"
Her two male teammates nodded in agreement.
"We're ready to do what it takes to get Sakura-san back." Shikamaru stated as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. "We're not about to let those in the Akatsuki get away with taking her." In case none of you knew, the Nara genius had a rather large crush on the pink-haired beauty.
Chouji gave a nod as well, "Sakura-san will be rescued!"
"THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOUR BEST FRIEND!" The raging Hinata screamed at Ino. She threw the two males against the wall with super-human strength that only appeared when she was angry—and in this case she was about to maul something and now her sight has moved to Ino. "LAST TIME I CHECKED BITCH, SHE WAS MINE!"
The blond snarled and looked over at the Hyuuga Heiress. "Your best friend? I don't think so you stupid white-eyed-freak!" Ino placed her hands on her hips as her blue eyes flared. "Sakura is MINE!"
"SAKURA BELONGS TO ME!" Hinata screeched as she then tackled the blond, her battle cry echoing in the room.
TenTen, who normally would've joined the battle, continued to sob in the corner of the office. The brunette was now rocking back and forth, racked with guilt. "My precious Sakura-chan—I left her alone with that old woman…OMIGAWD! WHAT IF SHE WAS MOLESTED!" She screamed out as she stood up.
Everyone in the room paled and looked at each other before fire burned in their eyes. Looking over at the Hokage they cried out, "We'll take the mission!"
"You ass! It's all your fault! And your grandma's fault! And your fault!" Sakura screeched as she tried to escape from his hold.
"You said it was my fault twice." He stated with amusement, his gold eyes shinning with mirth and another emotion Sakura wasn't too aware of.
"Well—it's doubly your fault! Hah! Take that! And what are you smirking at? Do you know how weak you are making me look? I'm—once again—the stupid damsel in distress! JERK! I HATE BEING WEAK!" She complained as she continued her best to escape his strong grasp on her. "Let me go!"
"I think not."
Sakura felt her eyebrow twitch and a vein in her head throb. She was dealing with another 'I-am-emo-and-hot-and-total-bad-ass-so-fear-me-and-my-cold-sexy-ways-of-doom' type of person.
As if Gaara, Neji, and Sasuke wasn't enough.
"Drop dead you puppet." She huffed out as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Well technically I'm already dead."
Sakura stopped and blinked only to then curse. "You know what I meant! Why did you kidnap me anyway?"
Walking towards the room she was in before he chuckled, "Well there are many reasons why I was sent to kidnap you." That made Sakura blink. "Yes my mission was to obtain you."
"But what about the Jinchuurikis you mean? Well of course we are still aiming for them—but we were to first obtain the One-Tail. With our recourses we discovered that you and the Nine-Tails would be coming which made everything all the easier." He said.
"Hatake Kakashi and the Godaime Tsunade are your teachers, Uzumaki Naruto the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Sasuke, Sabuko no Gaara the One-Tail and the Kazekage, Hyuuga Neji, Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru, Aburme Shino, and Sabuko no Kankuro all are after your heart and body. You are, of course, the prime target as a hostage."
Now that made Sakura blink in confusion, "Huh?" She knew about being the student of powerful shinobi, and that her and Naruto were BFFs, but…what? What the hell was he talking about with the rest of them?
He shook his head, "You are way too innocent." He purred out. "You are unable to see that you are the most sought out female."
"Dwah?" She squeaked out still obviously not getting it, her eyebrow twitching. "What do you mean I am the most sought out female? I would've known it I was!...What do you mean be sought out female?"
Sasori chuckled again, "Just what I said—many males want you."
Her sea-foam-eyes blinked. "Ok, want me how?"
Sasori sighed. For someone so intelligent she sure was dense. He thought she was a medical-nin, yet she didn't seem to understand the concept of sex and desire of men.
"Don't worry—I'll teach you everything."
"Damn-it!" Hinata cursed as she looked around her surroundings. "SAKURA-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU!?" She screamed out.
"Don't answer to the Hinata-bitch! Answer me! Your best friend—YAMANAKA INO! DON'T WORRY SAKURA! I'LL SAVE YOU!" The blond cried out as she shoved the girl with long purple-hair out of the way.
"THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU'LL SAVE HER?!" The Hyuuga Heiress screeched as she grabbed Ino's long hair.
Behind them, most everyone else was having similar arguments.
"She's going to be Hyuuga Sakura!" Neji hissed.
"No, she's going to be Uzumaki Sakura!" Naruto snapped back.
"Nara Sakura is better." Shikamaru stated, the leader of the mission.
"PAH!" Kiba spat out. "She's going to be an Inuzuka!"
"I happen to think Aburame Sakura fits her quite well." Shino stated bluntly.
Leaning against her boyfriend's shoulder TenTen continued to cry, "My Sakura-chan!" Lee was going right along with her.
"Um—" Kakashi began. "We should probably go to Suna first and tell them what is happening. They need to know that they have a traitor in the midst and that Sakura has been captured by Sasori."
"NO!" They all screamed.
Kakashi blinked his visible eye. "Why not?"
"Temari." Hinata, Ino, and TenTen hissed out.
"Gaara and Kankuro." The males, minus Chouji and Lee, growled out.
"Oh…well our mission is it retrieve Sakura-chan and we need all the help we can get. So we are going to Suna."
"Oh Naruto! You are so much better than Sasuke-teme!" Sakura purred out as she kissed along the blonde's lips and whiskers. "I don't know why I went after that lame bastard when I could've had you all along!"
"It is ok, my precious blossom. Now we are together and that is all that matters." Naruto purred right back as he kissed her up along her neck.
"Oh Naruto! TAKE ME NOW!"
Sasuke sat up screaming, clutching his stuffed Sakura doll to his chest, black eyes wide. 'That was horrible!' He wailed internally as he hugged the doll closer. "My precious Sakura—You wouldn't leave me for that dobe!"
He shuddered again, trying to get the images out of his mind. It was nightmarish. Sakura, no longer in love with him? That was the most disturbing thing he could ever think of. And with the dobe of all people!
"Wait a minute, my Sakura-senses are…are…are…TINGLING! SAKURAAAA!" He screeched as she jumped out of his bed, which was covered with dolls of Sakura, a pillow shaped like Sakura, and his comforter that had pictures of Sakura.
In simple terms his whole room was a shrine to his ex-teammate.
He quickly stripped himself of his pajamas, also having imprints of Sakura, and placed on his Sound uniform. "Sakura is in danger! Those bastards! I knew I should've brought her with me! We could've already been making babies!"
He zoomed out of his room, knocking over Kabuto and burning the clothes off Orochimaru.
"Was that Sasuke-kun?" An Orochimaru clad in puppy-dog briefs asked.
"I believe his so-called, "Sakura senses" were "tingling". Meaning she is being hit on more than likely. The same thing happens to you when Tsunade-sama is being hit on."
"Ah yes. Poor Tsunade-chan always being hit on by that pervert instead of by me—that and she thinks I'm gay and a pedophile."
The silver-haired man twitched, "Can you really blame her?"
"WHAT!?" Temari cried out. "My Sakura-chan has been kidnapped? You!" She pointed to the girls. "How could you let this happen to my future sister in law!? THAT GIRL BELONGED TO ME!"
TenTen looked at her rival square in the eye, "Sakura is MINE! And she will be with Neji—that way she's like my sister-in-law!"
Hinata nodded her head, her thoughts along the same line, "Or with Kiba-kun or Shino-kun—but if she is married to my cousin then I will live with her! HA!" She pointed at the brunette who frowned.
Neji could be seen smirking triumphantly at the boys who were growling and their eyes twitching.
"Feh! She's going to be with Shikamaru and then she will be part of Team 10." Ino huffed out haughtily as she flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder. "Besides she is my best friend and was my best friend first!"
"Yeah, but she broke it off because you were a suffocating bitch!" Temari screeched out. "She prefers me anyway and she should—right Chouji?" She flirted to the pleasantly plump and pleasantly tall man.
Ino snarled "Don't drag my Chouji into this!"
The girl with blueberry-purple hair twitched, "You mean my Chouji—don't you?"
"Now I know how Sakura-san feels." The male being argued about groaned as he rubbed the back of his neck in an awkward fashion. "Listen, right now we shouldn't be arguing about who owns who—Sakura-san has been captured by the Akatsuki who are ruthless and merciless and not to mention it is because of an elderly woman in you village that this has happened."
Gaara nodded, as he continued glaring at the male population. "I will have someone obtain her right away and begin the interrogation." He then moved to his desk and took off his cloak, placing on his gourd. "I will assist you in your mission."
Kankuro stepped foreword, "And so will I."
"HELL NO!" The males, besides Kakashi, Lee, and Chouji, yelled.
"I will too." The eldest sand-sibling stated, making the girl's screech with distaste.
"No." Gaara ordered.
"What?" Temari gasped out, ignoring the smug looks from the females.
"You and the rest of the females will stay here and help the interrogation. You all seem to let your emotions for Sakura-san blind you—you argue more than you work." To say he was being a bit hypocritical would be an understatement. "Besides I need someone to keep things in order while I am gone. And since I do not trust you all too actually get along and do work I am placing Ackimichi-san here as well."
Three girls' eyes sparkled and turned sharply as they looked at the sweating male with a very creepy grin.
"B-But shouldn't someone like—er—Lee or Kakashi stay? They can help the girl's out more so than I can."
Gaara closed his eyes and nodded, "Good idea—these girls are maniacs, you need all the help you can get. Rock-san and Hatake-san, you two will also remain here; the rest of us will go obtain Sakura-san." 'And make her my WIFE! HAHAHAHA!'
"Yeah baby! You get your girl!" Shukaku cheered on. "The girl belongs to us! Let's see that stupid fox get her now!"
'Please, Naruto is a pathetic chump—no where near as sexy or as bad-ass as me.' Gaara stated with a smirk, forgetting that Naruto had defeated him some time ago.
'Why do I have the feeling that Gaara and that stupid squirrel of his are making fun of me?' Naruto asked as his eyebrow twitched.
"Because they most likely are." Kyuubi hissed. "That Shukaku—he was never able to get over that I am so much more powerful and so much better looking then him." He huffed.
'We both are better looking than those bastards! Sakura-chan will be MINE!'
Kakashi cleared his throat, "Are you sure that is a wise decision Kazekage-sama? All of you are very…Sakura-obsessed as well. You all have a tendency of fighting over her."
Shikamaru looked at the older male, "We understand the importance of this mission Kakashi-sensei—we all can and will put our differences aside and rescue Sakura-san. We would not let our…battle endanger her. But the Kazekage is right. We need some to remain here to interrogate and keep the village in order."
The other males nodded as they tried not to glare at each other in rivalry.
'Damn-it, my precious Sakura is going to be molested.' Kakashi thought as his shoulders slumped.
"SAKURAAAAAAAA!" Sasuke cried out as he jumped over the wall of Konoha and burst into the room of the Hokage, who was still moping. "You! The old hag with the rack! Where the hell is Sakura? And—are those new pictures of her?" He asked as he reached over to take a picture and see how she has changed.
He had no chance.
The Hokage grabbed his hand and flipped him over her shoulder, pinning him to her desk, a knee on his windpipe. "Don't touch my shrine of Sakura! You traitor!" She then began to bitch slap him. "You caused my Sakura so much pain! I should kill you where you stand! In fact—I think I will!"
Sasuke growled and with a POOF disappeared from her grasp, reappearing behind her, he grabbed one of her arms and twisted it behind her back and used his free arm to wrap around her throat. "I do not have time for this—where is Sakura!?"
Tsunade stopped struggling and everything that happened came back to her and she began to bawl. "MY BABY! MY BABY WAS TAKEN BY THE AKATSUKI!"
Sasuke stopped short, "The Akatsuki—the one my stupid big-brother is apart of?" His eyes went wide. "MY SAKURA!" And with that jumped out the window and ran faster than he ever has before towards the secret location of the Akatsuki.
But if it was so secret how the hell did he and the rest of the gang know where it was? Let's just blame it on laziness partaken by the author of this particular episode.
"So um-" Sakura began nervously as she was placed on her bed with Sasori sitting next to her. "What exactly are you going to show me?" She asked as she rubbed the back of her neck in a familiar fashion as Chouji had done.
She squeaked when she was shoved gently on her bed—Sasori encasing her body with his. "Uh-uh…Sasori wh-what are you doing?"
"Just showing you what it means to be wanted." He purred out.
"Oh—shit." She cursed when he began to kiss her up along the neck.
The redhead was about to lean down and kiss the girl on the lips when a dark aura and charka filled the room. Sasori snarled before he looked over his shoulder and saw Uchiha Itachi, his sharingan glowing with rage and his lips pulled back tightly.
"Sasori-san, what do you think you are doing?" He asked his voice stone cold.
"Just teaching our guest a few things." He mocked back. "I would appreciate it if you leave so I can continue the lesson."
The elder Uchiha frowned, "I will not leave—if you would please get off our guest, she seems a bit uncomfortable." The two glared at each other, while Sakura remained underneath Sasori watching the two. "Leader wants to speak with her."
The redhead growled, but picked himself off her small body and allowed her to get off the bed. Itachi stepped aside opening the door for the pink-hair girl, Sakura flushed at his action and brushed past him, failing to see the normal aloof and control Itachi stick his tongue out at the puppet master with a smug grin and she also failed to see Sasori began to throw a tantrum at his loss.
"This is bullshit—and stop glaring at me you stupid squirrel!" Naruto barked as he pointed an accusing finger at the redhead. "My Sakura-chan is in danger! And we said we weren't going to fight if it will place her in danger!"
"Stop calling him a squirrel you stupid dick." Gaara snarled out, a vein throbbing in his head. "Just because I have-"
"Raccoon—squirrel—a rat—a disease-carrying-feces-sputtering-rodent?" Neji asked sarcasm in his voice as he glared at the Kazekage. "Have your choice—either way that's what's inside of you."
The male twitched and his sand began to swirl threateningly and his green eyes seem to glow with rage. 'I'M NOT A RODENT!' The inner demon roared.
"Stop calling him a rodent." Gaara hissed out as he clenched and unclenched his fist trying to calm his fury. "You stupid fate-obsessed-bastard."
Neji growled, "Don't insult fate—it will come back and bite you in the ass, it always does."
Gaara smirked, "For you that is."
Shikamaru sighed and intervened the fight that was starting up, "That is enough you two. We have a mission and if we fail Sakura-san could be harmed." It was obvious he didn't want to say killed when it concerns the Haruno girl. "We must not allow this stupid spat we all are having to endanger her." He shoved his hands in his pocket. "Besides if she is harmed in anyway the girls and Tsuande-sama will beat the living manhood out of us."
The other males shuddered in fear—they all have faced a female's wrath and it was a very frightful experience. They all had nightmares for weeks; Shino didn't even sleep after he accidentally pissed Hinata off during her time of the month.
Besides, no one hurt Sakura!
The Haruno girl sneezed. 'Whoa, that came out of no where.' She thought as she followed Itachi through the maze of the hideout, taking time to memorize the path. If able she would try and take out the leader later. 'OH, HELL YEAH! I'M GOING TO TAKE DOWN THE AKATSUKI ALL BY MYSELF! WHOSE YOUR BITCH?!'
"Please keep up; he does not like those who are late." The older Uchiha stated.
Her head snapped up, her green eyes narrowed, "I do not take orders—especially from traitors who kidnapped me!"
"If you didn't give your trust to anything that walks by, you wouldn't be in this position." Itachi calmly retorted back.
"Ouch—that was below the belt." Sakura snapped sarcastically. "And how was I supposed to know that old fart was still in communications with her so-called-grandson and this organization? She was a highly respected kunoichi in Suna!" She crossed her arms over her chest. "I feel bad enough as it is—I really liked and trusted that hag."
He raised an eyebrow, "Feeling betrayed?"
The small girl snorted, "Yeah and not the first time either—with your ass of a brother. Really why did you have to go and kill your entire family? You screwed up your brother pretty damn good. It's all, "I'm an avenger!"—"I'm better than you cause I'm an avenger!"—or "Sakura you are annoying cause I'm an avenger!" Ugh!" She shook her head. "He has serious OCD."
The tall male smirked at her, "Does my foolish little brother speak like that?"
She shrugged, "He might as well—he has called me annoying and said to Naruto that he was better than him. HAH! Naruto just held back during the fight so he wouldn't kill the bastard…WHOSE THE ANNOYING WEAK-ASS NOW BITCH!?"
Sasuke, who was running through the trees, cried out in absolute agony and clutched his heart before falling down to the ground. On the ground his eyes were wide, he was panting, and it appeared like he was close to tears.
"S-Sakura just insulted me…NOOOOOOOOO! LIFE ISN'T WORTH LIVING! WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYY?!"
The elder Uchiha smirked at her insane-ways. "You are quite an interesting character, Sakura-san."
She stopped her plotting of Sasuke's demise at this. Looking up her eyes wide and her cheeks red she did the only thing she could, stutter out gratitude. "U-u-uh…th-thank y-y-you." She had a right to be like this—it wasn't everyday the all-so-sexy-bad-ass Itachi complimented someone.
And he was so polite! The complete opposite of his good-for-nothing brother!
And is it kinda weird and out-of-character that these two normal enemies are having a civil—almost flirty—conversation? No? That's what I thought too!
"This is where the leader is waiting for you—he will be explaining things to you and about your stay with us." Itachi stated as he opened the door, like a gentleman, and gently ushered the small girl inside.
Once in, the girl gulped at the darkness surrounding her. "U-uhm…Hello?"
All of a sudden a figure blanketed in shadow appeared—his grey eyes glimmering dangerously at her. "Hello, Sakura."
Sakura let out a loud wail, not expecting him to appear like a ghost, and reeled her fist back and punched him straight on the nose. "DIE EVIL GHOSTIE OF DEATH!"
"Oooh—the—pain…" He groaned out.
Sakura blinked before she let out a sheepish laugh, "Heheh…sorry!"
"It's this way."
"No—it's this way."
"Damn it—I think I would know where my precious Sakura-chan would be…it's this way!"
"Dobe, that's a cliff!"
"Shut-up white-eyes-bastard!"
"The hide-out is this way! Akamaru and I can smell Sakura's beautiful scent!"
"You are wrong Inuzuka—my insects are informing me that the Akatsuki is position in the direction of north-west, not south-east."
"This is too troublesome—it's this way."
"Pah! Says you! I think it's this way!"
"Why would an organization like the Akatsuki locate their layer there? No you moron it would be this way."
To put it quite mildly the large group of males is a bit lost at the moment and cannot quite decide which way to go. Poor—poor morons…And poor—poor Sakura! What fate awaits her now?
Next Chapter!: Part two of Sakura's stay with the notorious assassin group the Akatsuki!

The men in black | April 5, commentary
Public shouldn't be forced to buy
For the past week there have been many columns, Maureen Dowd's included, that are using name-calling when describing our current Supreme Court, all because they disagree with the anticipated ruling on health care.
The writers seem to misunderstand why Obamacare should be ruled unconstitutional. They often mention that the Commerce Clause gives the government the duty to regulate interstate commerce. But what they fail to realize is the Commerce Clause is meant to regulate the selling of an item, not the purchase of an item, which is what Obamacare is asking the court to approve.
When you sell an item, no one is telling you to sell an item. But the president, with his health care plan, wants to force everyone to buy something that many people may not choose to buy at some time in their life.
Chris Landrum, Brandon
Do your homework
Justice Antonin Scalia is quoted in Maureen Dowd's column as saying: "You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages?"
Yes, Justice Scalia. That is exactly what we want you to do and what you are being paid to do. How else can a Supreme Court justice make an informed decision? Get reading!

Reform vs. empty rhetoric | April 6, editorial
Illegal is the problem
This editorial's mention of Mitt Romney's "anti-immigration rhetoric" simply ignores the truth. I challenge the Times to cite a single instance when Romney said that he is "anti-immigration." He has said many times that he is against illegal immigration.
Romney believes, as a majority of Americans do, that illegal aliens should get in line behind the many thousands of people from all over the world who have applied for legal entry into our country.
As for the Dream Act, it should be called what in fact it is: an attempt to subvert our immigration laws by rewarding those who broke the law by entering our country illegally.

Water taxi
Transportation options
During a recent trip to New Orleans, I was amazed at the transportation options that the Crescent City residents have. Not only is there the world-famous streetcar line, there are human-powered pedicabs all around downtown and even a free water taxi on the Mississippi.
From what I have read in the Times, Tampa Bay is finally taking municipal water taxi service on our magnificent bay seriously. It's about time.
If we are ever going to achieve the global tourist status of cities like New Orleans, we need to create aesthetic and fun ways to get visitors and locals around. The first place to start is a water taxi from St. Petersburg to Tampa, along with an authentic streetcar from the Pier to our world-famous beaches. Sorry, buses disguised as trolleys just don't cut it, and neither do large buses crossing our beautiful bay on congested bridges.
D.E. Brown, St. Petersburg
Gun deaths
Matter of life and death
Here are the most recent available data on the number of deaths by firearms, by country:
1. South Africa, 31,918; 2. Colombia, 21,898; 3. Thailand, 20,032; 4. United States, 9,369; 5. Philippines, 7,708.
Canada ranks 14th with 144 deaths. As a Canadian, I'm proud that our country has the lowest rate per capita of deaths by firearms.
We constantly refer to people who are "enablers" for the evils or crimes of others. The United States may very well be in that category. Surely the Constitution must reflect our current values and realities.

No spoiling their fun | April 5
Helping military veterans
Last week I watched a group of World War II veterans boarding a flight to Washington, D.C., with the help of Honor Flight of West Central Florida. For the last year and a half this organization has been helping some of the 230,000 Tampa Bay area World War II veterans travel to the new World War II monument in the nation's capital.
The organization plans a trip when it gets enough donations to cover the cost. These veterans fought for our very freedoms and made America what it is today. Show these brave men and women our appreciation for what they have done for us and thank them for their service. They are heroes.

Bay bridge could add toll | April 5
Raise gas tax instead
Adding tolls on the Howard Frankland Bridge to raise revenue due to falling income from gasoline taxes is, quite frankly, the worst idea I have heard in a long time. I understand and support the need for the Department of Transportation to maintain and improve the road system, and that requires money. But tolls are the dumbest way to raise money.
What will putting a toll on one bridge across the bay do? Yes, it will raise revenue. But it will cause people to move to the toll-free bridges, shifting the congestion. It will create or enlarge a state or county bureaucracy to collect the tolls. It will cost money up-front to build a toll collection system. It causes massive headaches for car rental companies, who have to figure out who was driving what car when tolls are collected via cameras, as they do in South Florida. And it increases gasoline consumption, as people drive indirect routes to avoid tolls.
So what's better? Simply raise the tax on gasoline. This requires neither additional state employees nor additional work for retailers or car rental companies. More expensive gas encourages people to both drive less and to drive more efficient cars, both of which are good for the economy and pollution.

Heeding the words of Jesus | April 1, Bill Maxwell column
A welcome reminder
I would like to congratulate Bill Maxwell for his very refreshing article. I can't help but think that Christ would certainly be for universal health care (he was a healer). It seems we live in a society where people go to church to get saved and then try to run over each other in the parking lot on the way out.

In the military, you can find examples everywhere of the importance of speed in battle. Whether it's an anti-tank SABOT round leaving the main gun of an M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank at nearly a mile a second, or the F-22 Raptor, which easily exceeds the speed of sound on its missions for the U.S. Air Force, these tools give American service-members the speed needed for unquestionable dominance in combat.
I experienced this first-hand as I led first my 16 soldier tank platoon in Kuwait, and then a 30 soldier mortar infantry platoon in Iraq. In modern warfare, speed and accuracy on the battlefield are everything.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must embrace this concept as it takes on a different but equally important mission -- the cleaning up of its energy supply and deployment of renewables into its energy portfolio, operationally and here at home. The Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has done a great job explaining why the military is doing this. But how, exactly, the military will do this remains unclear. To actually get this done, they will need to undertake and innovate around a new type of speed, one that we in the private sector understand as "project velocity."
Project velocity defines the speed at which you can push, pull, or coerce a large scale project through contracting, design, negotiations, procurement and the various other hurdles that underpin any large scale opportunity. When dealing with the federal government, one might think more of swimming in molasses rather than a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, but procurement and operation managers must find a way to move and work quickly when pursuing, evaluating and deploying clean technologies. The Army is falling well behind its mandates and goals to be at 25 percent renewables for its electricity needs by 2025. This year it will be lucky if it hits three percent, when it should be tracking at more than twice that.
So how can the military speed up the process of fitting out its millions of acres of land with renewable energy generation, while not impacting its mission to train and prepare for the world's next fight?
As a solar developer with experience in federal markets such as the military, I can say there are a few key factors at a granular level that can help projects move quickly and effectively. Although technology is easily the least of the challenges facing the DoD in this mission, as much of the technology has already been proven, it seems to consume the media storm surrounding clean energy. The truth is that traditional solar photovoltaics have proven their reliability through decades of successful field data. But certainly PV will not fit the whole bill. Given the scope of what is needed, a broad range of technologies will be likely implemented, chosen based on each site's available resources and needs.
Instead of focusing on technology, the military should focus on the following key hurdles to project completion:
- Site procurement -- Anyone who has worked in the federal space for long understands the challenges facing a developer when building on federal land. Each branch of the service has a different legal opinion on the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Real Estate law, and at a granular level, each installation seems to interpret it on their own as well. In order to overcome the plethora of programs that result from such complexity, from UESCs to ESPCs to EULs to everything else, at a high level we require more standardization. In its current state, the process isn't straightforward enough to entice the level of commitment from the private sector that is needed.
- Decision makers -- The military is among the most respected institutions in our nation, and produces some of the most capable and inspiring leaders in our country. And in this mission as well, we are beginning to see real leaders emerge at the highest levels, and even at some bases. But this must become more systematic -- each service (or indeed the DoD itself) needs to clarify the roles of the utility providers, real estate property managers, energy managers, and base commanders in this process, provide them with standard tools that have been proven to work at other bases, and empower them to act.
- Financing -- The Army estimates that it will require over7B dollars of private capital to finance its mandated goal of 2.1 Million MWh of annual renewable electricity generation, and this is where the biggest challenges of all arise. In order to do this effectively, the military must embrace, on a large scale, the financial innovations that have enabled broad deployment in the commercial and residential sectors. Primarily, I mean use of the privately financed Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). There are boundaries to be negotiated upon, and the final value of each deal will be different, but the structure itself is sound, and allows for significant up-front savings on the part of the government. Not only does the developer pay for the system costs up front, but the private sector experts also maintain the operational risk of the systems throughout the life of the contract, which is no small value in itself.
On a more macro level, the military is certainly taking a much needed step by setting up a task force to create and implement a plan. This is the impetus behind its newly launched Energy Initiatives Task Force. Though announced months ago, the effectiveness and ultimate success of this task force remains to be seen. Is it nimble and quick enough to get the job done?
This enormous undertaking will make for a huge market, but also a huge challenge, that will require creativity, scale, and focus not seen since WWII.
I have no doubt that our industry can rise to the occasion -- the question is: who will show up from the DoD? The high-speed, mission driven infantryman, or the molasses lap swimmer in the basement of the Pentagon? As the EITF's outreach director Jon Powers likes to say, 'we've got the land and the demand", but my question is -- Do they have the speed?

text: Political risk still high in Turkey: Fitch Monday, August 11, 2014 Economy, Fitch says the outright victory of Turkey´s Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Sunday's vote, does little to ameliorate the political risk to Turkey's sovereign credit profile ANKARA - The outright victory of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan as president in Sunday's vote does little to ameliorate the political risk to Turkey's sovereign credit profile, Fitch Ratings said in a statement Monday.Erdogan was elected Sunday after securing 51.96 percent of the vote in the first round of Turkey's first popular presidential election, according to unofficial counts. Without giving the exact numbers, the Supreme Election Board confirmed late Sunday that Erdogan had won outright, making a scheduled August 24 run-off election unnecessary.The victory consolidates Erdogan's hold on power after a 12-year tenure as prime minister. Erdogan will succeed Abdullah Gul to the presidency on August 28. He will be Turkey's head of state for the next 5 years."The outcome avoids a second ballot and confirms Erdogan's personal standing with a large part of the electorate. But political risk will weigh on Turkey's ratings through its potential effects to discourage capital inflows and reduce policy predictability," the global credit rating agency said in a statement on its website.Fitch said that after Erdogan's victory, political continuity does not eliminate political and social unrest. "Turkey has been remarkably resilient to recent external shocks and banks and corporates continue to enjoy high roll-over rates, but we expect political risk to remain a credit weakness that could lead to a negative rating action if it adversely affects government effectiveness and policy predictability," it said.Fitch warned that Erdogan's "pressure" on the Turkish Central Bank to cut interest rates further could "undermine" the bank's tenuous credibility following sharp rate hikes in January, adding, "A rapid unwinding of these hikes would make Turkey more vulnerable to a sudden change in investor sentiment towards emerging markets."Erdogan and other government officials have criticized the central bank for maintaining high interest rates, which are possibly limiting economic growth."Turkey is no longer a country that gets directives of certain people to set its economic policies," Erdogan said. "A Turkey that breaks its chains disturbs some domestic and international power elites." Fitch also said that macroeconomic outcomes in 2014 have been broadly positive for Turkey's credit profile with the lira stabilising and international reserves rebounding. Export growth has been strong, the current account deficit has corrected and credit growth has slowed, in both cases more quickly than expected," Fitch added.Turkey's exports increased by 7.3 percent to $80 billion in the first half of 2014 while imports were at $105 billion in the first five months of the year, according to TurkStat, the country's statistics authority.

Story highlights
- Hillary Clinton has made the song "Fight Song" a regular feature of her campaign rallies
- Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy cheekily declared his support for the song
(CNN)The 2016 election has been defined by debates on important issues of the day -- the economy, health care, foreign policy, immigration -- but perhaps no debate has been fiercer than this one:
Is "Fight Song" -- Hillary Clinton's campaign theme song -- great? Or horrible?
Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy became the highest-profile voice to take a stand when he tweeted Tuesday, "I like Fight Song ALOT. @HillaryClinton should keep it. But I also listened to the first @NickLachey solo album on repeat. So there's that."
Murphy was answering a question that roiled the campaign coverage world on Tuesday, following the publication of a story on Yahoo! News titled, "Hillary Clinton's 'Fight Song' is driving some people nuts."
The hit by songwriter Rachel Platten has become an inescapable feature of Clinton's campaign rallies, regularly pumped through loud speakers at each stop. An a cappella version of the song, featuring cameos by celebrities and singers, was even premiered at the Democratic National Convention.
Murphy proceeded to triple down on his "Fight Song" take, responding to a reporter who praised his citation of Lachey's solo album "What's Left of Me" as proof of his music cred, or the lack thereof.
"@ChrisMurphyCT What's Left of Me was a revelation tbh," wrote Leigh Munsil, a political editor at The Blaze.
Murphy joked back, "Everyone knows this but is just too scared to admit it. Thank you for your courage, Leigh."
And Murphy appeared to slip in a dig at the Republican presidential nominee, borrowing one of Donald Trump's favorite phrases to respond to a Twitter critic who corrected his grammar.
"The worst part of this tweet is that he misspelled 'a lot' ," wrote Emily Cahn, a writer at Mic.com
"Many people are saying that alot is one word," Murphy cracked back.

Re: Review: Skylanders Giants (Wii)
I have been a fan of the game since it came out last year. My daughter and I play it all the time. We even got my wife into playing with us. One thing that irritates me though are the comments made by people without a clue on the game. If you plan to buy everything under the sun for the game it can get costly but if you use some restraint on your choices you'll be fine. For example, the first game was 60 bucks and came with 3 figures...that's 3 elements covered. Then, if you must complete the game just get 5 more different characters. At that time, it would only cost you 40 bucks...total of $100. We all know people who spent more on farmville-like games monthly. Then for Giants you only need the giant with the game and you're done. So please...can we call it quits with the complaints on the cost to play Skylanders? Oh yeah, so what bout the in-game ads? Do you buy everything you see advertised on TV?

There is an ACPI spec (or two) for watchdog hardware, but AFAIK they are not widely implemented. LAPIC-counter-triggered NMI is going to be a lot easier to come by.

"Storm Isaac Threatens Caribbean, U.S. Republican Convention" [1]
"Tropical Storm Isaac swirled over the Caribbean on Wednesday and was forecast to become a hurricane as it moved on a track that would put it off the coast of Florida on Monday, the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Tampa."
"Isaac was already dumping heavy rains on the Leeward Islands on Wednesday afternoon and hurricane watches were in effect for many places, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.
Isaac could also potentially threaten U.S. energy interests in the Gulf of Mexico, weather experts said. It was centered about 75 miles east-northeast of Dominica early on Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said."

Frank TV was never jam-packed with clever British-style comedy, but it used to be a show good for a few quality laughs due to Frank Caliendo's spot-on impressions.
As the number of episodes has increased the impressions were not nearly as good as his classics such as George Bush and John Madden. Not only that but the jokes are really lame for the most part as the scenes seem like they'd get cut from a MADtv script.
The show has just lost its magic and without baseball season bringing in viewers I can't believe too many people will watch it and enjoy it.

SEATTLE (Jul. 13)
Aroused at reports of discrimination against Jewish students at the University of Washington, the national executive offices of B'nai B'rith today launched an investigation into recent University incidents. Dr. I. M. Rubinow, executive secretary of the B'nai B'rith, called the investigation, which will be made through the Seattle lodge of the B'nai B'rith order.
How the Jewish Daily Bulletin, carrying the report of the recent Shevuoth incident at the University, caused launching of the probe into anti-Jewish-practices was revealed in Dr. Rubinow's telegram here.
In his message to President Leo Meltzer of the Seattle B'nai Brith lodge, Dr. Rubinow declared that he had noticed an account in the Jewish Daily Bulletin of five Jewish University students taking "incompletes" in their work because they chose to go to the synagogue instead of taking final examinations on Shevuoth.
The Shevuoth incident came on the heels of a University ruling that, beginning in October, Jewish law students at the University will be compelled to attend classes on Saturday. The law school rule provoked nation-wide comment in Jewish circles.
As the first step in the B'nai B'rith investigation, Mr. Meltzer sought an audience with President M. Lyle Spencer of the University and after delay, heard Dr. Spencer's explanation of the rulings.
University authorities contend that Jewish students must make their choice between going to school on Saturday in the law school or observing the Jewish Sabbath and not attending law school. In the Shevuoth incident, the same argument was put forth.
Dr. Rubinow's telegram indicated that attention of the B'nai B'rith has been brought to the situation at the University and that immedite action will be forthcoming to effect any remedies possible and to forestall any further discrimination against Jewish students, Mr. Meltzer declared.

Milan, and as a Ghibelline was the valued leader of that party in
Such was Dante's so-called Ghibelline programme -- less Ghibelline than intensely and magnificently Italian.
In a city which had been officially Guelph in the past, any minority opposed to the government of the day, or obnoxious to the party in power, would be branded as "Ghibelline".
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 7: Gregory XII-Infallability
In late medieval Italy, gambling on games of chess, dice, and cards offered diversion for soldiers during frequent and lengthy sieges in the wars between the Guelf and Ghibelline.
Architecture and Memory: The Renaissance Studioli of Federico da Montefeltro
Over time, the political differences between Guelph and Ghibelline became so blurred that, when Guelph partisans would see the light and flip sides, their personal enemies on the Ghibelline side would respond by joining the opposing team.
As the Quattrocento rolled on, the Guelph-Ghibelline game of "no, mine is bigger" resulted in a cluster of picturesque but essentially useless towers in San Gimignano, along with a fair number of city fires ignited by boiling oil.
Yet out of all the details of rivalry between Guelf and Ghibelline, between French and German, between Angevin and Byzantine, there emerges an image as crystalline as a painting by Van Eyck.
The Guelph faction always prevailed in Italy over the Ghibelline.
It is added that the emperor Henry VIII. did nothing for him, Ghibelline as he was, and that he repaired to Frederick of Aragon, king of Sicily, and returned as poor as he went.
Dante was a white and a Ghibelline; he was driven away among the first and his house razed to the ground.

Zack (Manchester)
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 14 Dec 2010
WOS Rating:
Greg Hersov's production explores the life of Zack Munning - a man who loves the simple things in life and taking it easy. His harridan of a mother (Polly Hemmingway) and his go-getter brother Paul (Pearce Quigley) order him around and constantly criticise him. This starts off light hearted, but soon you realise that they do not care about Zack's future, unless it involves financial gain.
It may seem a real risk casting stand up comedian, radio presenter and one time Phoenix Nights star - Justin Moorhouse in the title role but it really pays off, as this talented performer brings real heart and soul to the role, making even the most slapstick filled scene feel incredibly poignant. His projection is sometimes slightly off and some of his lines are missed as a result, but he really imbues Zack with so much more than is on the page.
Bighouse's witty one liners only work in experienced hands and Hemmingway rises to the challenge as she is delightful as Zack's overbearing and money grabbing ma, Quigley is deliciously dour and James Quinn and Samantha Power are both totally believeable as a scheming father and daughter also willing to dupe our loveable lump. Kelly Price plays cousin Virginia and is very authoritative and her chemistry with Moorhouse is a joy to behold. Lastly Michelle Tate steals many scenes as the 'tell-it-like-it-is' maid, Sally.
Laurie Bennett's gorgeous set design presents the Munning household as one of wannabe social climbers, yet at the same time, a relaxing hideaway for Brighouse's hero. Richard Owen's lovely lighting adds to the deceit of this desperate family.
Hersov directs this play beautifully with a light touch and a sense of purpose. So much so, that by the end you may find yourself shedding a tear - yet smiling from ear to ear. As heartwarming as mulled wine and mince pies, Zack is an absolute must-see and I want to go again.

Could you please tell me the literal (comedy?) and figurative meaning of "extravaganza" in the following excerpt of the chapter eight of The Great Gatsby?
It was this night that he told me the strange story of his youth with Dan Cody—told it to me because "Jay Gatsby" had broken up like glass against Tom's hard malice and the long secret extravaganza was played out. I think that he would have acknowledged anything, now, without reserve, but he wanted to talk about Daisy.

As the word suggests, an "extravaganza" is an extravagant display which relies heavily on lavish and spectacular effects, especially in costuming and decorations. An extravaganze is not necessarily a comedy, although some extravaganzas can be comedies or include comedy. It is hard to imagine an extravaganza without beautiful girls in unusual costumes, without loud music, plenty of glitz and razzle-dazzle. The word always seems to suggest phoniness because extravaganzas place so much emphasis on dazzling with noise and color and are so lacking in sincerity or meaning.
The narrator is saying flatly that Gatsby had been putting on an extravaganza at his big mansion and that he himself was the principal performer in that extravaganza. All of it was meant to attract and impress Daisy. Tom Buchanan had destroyed the spectacle by finding out and exposing the truth about Gatsby, which was that he was a gangster, a hoodlum, an imposter and an interloper. The whole story of The Great Gatsby was built on the conflict of two men over one woman, and Tom Buchanan had won. The prize herself was not intrinsically valuable; Daisy was just a trophy.
I don't know why Fitzgerald called Gatsby's extravaganza a "secret," but, of course, it was full of secrecy, including the source of Gatsby's wealth, his associates, his purpose for throwing extravagant parties, and his extravagant dreams about Daisy.

Builder CSS: Adding Additional Classes
In Builder (and in many other themes) by default the body class of a single post page does not contain the categories under which the post has been categorized.
If you would like to apply a specific background to all single post pages that belong to say, "Recipes" category then by using the following code "recipes" will be one of the classes that gets applied to body class. Therefore we can target any element on a single post page belonging to "Recipes" category by prepending the CSS selector with "body.recipes".
Add the following before closing PHP tag in child theme's functions.php:
// add category nicenames in body class function category_id_class($classes) { global $post; foreach((get_the_category($post->ID)) as $category) $classes[] = $category->category_nicename; return $classes; } add_filter('body_class', 'category_id_class');

CGIAR's Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security posted a blog entry discussing the benefits and challenges of using ODK for research.
From CGIAR's Blog Post:
What are the benefits from working with online data tools?
"This has so many benefits over using paper forms. All the validation checks we would have done at the 'data entry' phase are now conducted at the point of collection. We can even do some extra consistency checks back in the office while the enumerators are still in the field," Dave continues.
"This really helped us to run the entire project more efficiently. In the first site, I noticed that two forms had been submitted for the same household – with different GPS coordinates. After a quick skype conversation, the enumerator returned to the village the next day to redo that household."
"With paper forms, we would have spotted the error weeks or months later – far too late to resolve it. These types of issue are inevitable in a project of this scale. By using the Open Data Kit, we were able to resolve many of them during data collection. This will make analysing and archiving the data much easier," says Dave.

Yes, I know about JIT, its nothing new - but Swing is still slow, still lacking snappiness and still overly complex to create applications with.
It sounds like kaiwai needs to upgrade his 486!
I have had no problems running swing on any recent hardware. It you are finding it slow then you either have an old machine without much RAM, an old JDK, or very inefficient display drivers.
If you "know" about JIT why do you still keep talking about "interpreted GUI"?
Try assigning some widgets to a form, double clicking, assigning code and compiling - you can't do that with Java; thats how bloody painful Java is in its current form. Little or none have been to make Java a RAD tool, its still overly complex and slow.
We've had that feature in Netbeans since version 5.0 (over a year ago). Perhaps if you weren't so obsessed with Eclipse...

You meet someone – and everything is great – they are wonderful – treat you amazing – you are so compatible – but…
You are not attracted to them – the "Chemistry" is just not there. Give it time, if everything else is so great – the chemistry can come – the physical is only part of a relationship – and the physical on the person is usually the first thing to change.
How many woman put on weight with each child – and can never seem to get it off, how many men as they get older stop working out – and get the "beer belly" – or never have worked out.
Look at the person for who and what they are – yes you have to be attracted to someone – but the attraction can grow – everything else – is what is really needed in the relationship to make it work for years to come.

Nope, still nothing
Nope, still nothing
Just curious...is your Desktop Manager recognizing any of your other devices (e.g. your BB, not your friend's?). If not, you may have to delete the DM software from your PC (via control panel >add/remove programs) and then reinstall a fresh version of Desktop Manager.
If your DM is currently recognizing the device's PIN, but requesting a password, it would appear a password has indeed managed to get onto the device.
Are you sure you have "unbricked" the device in question?
Sorry, beyond this, I can't think of what else you could do.
Using DM 5 should not be an issue.
How far are you into the process when you get this message? Is the OS loaded, but it's stalling at the point of application restore?
I would try two things:
- Uninstall DM and the OS from your PC, reinstall them, and try again.
- If that fails, use BBSAK to wipe the device and then try running Loader.exe again
...don't want to sneek in, but what you also could try, if what toytooii is suggesting does not help is to take the battery out of your berry, then connect it to the PC and then boot the berry - maybe this helps to get it connected?
Also, not sure if this is even relevant however I called Ryan at lunch to let him know that I have taken his BB out of commission and mentioned that I rebooted it prior to trying to upgrade as I noticed it was really sluggish. He said that he has been noticing a couple of issues lately, most notably he plugged his bb in to charge in the night before last and when he woke up the battery was drained and the low battery light was flashing.

Could most certainly be a battery issue! Do you have another battery you can use??? Give it a try if possible!
PS - what OS are you intending to load on his Storm1? .419???
Please be aware that if he routinely uses Speed Dial, it does not function properly from the Dial Pad. This is a bug I personally encountered and has been reported by numerous others. It forced me back to .328.
Hopefully, a fresh battery (doesn't your Storm2 have the same battery you can try?) will get you through this issue.
Last edited by toytooii; 01-18-2010 at 02:34 PM.
I actually don't have the battery in right now. Just have it connected via usb to my pc. I could definitely pop my battery in however I'm pretty sure the phone is complete f@#$ed now as it has been unable to load any software or applications....mfg:mfg:mfg:mfg:
I will give it a try tho........
also, another question...if there is a password why have I not been given an option at any point in this crap storm to enter it?
ok, put my battery in and it booted up. have a white screen that says
Load Software: 507 with a symbol of some kind over it. I will try to reload with my battery in now and see what happens..............
wish my luck!!!!!!!!!!!

Working Remotely
With any electronic device, the look and feel of the remote control is key, and NEC's hits the spot, and it offers direct control of the most oft-used functions. Two rows of smallish buttons along the top are dedicated to one-touch input selection with slightly larger numerical keys below. After that is a large round arrow wheel straddled in four corners by menu controls. These are for access to deeper, lesser used functions through the on-screen display. The OSD is organized logically by tabs, making features extremely easy to find. Sections include those for picture, audio, picture-in-picture, tile mode and health. Just about every aspect of the display can be controlled or customized, including fan speed, border color, screen saver, input labels, and the size and location of the picture-in-picture. Even the OSD itself is editable, including its location, transparency and the number of seconds it stays on the screen. All of these settings are accessible via remote, RS-232 or Ethernet.

Ina Garten's Italian Wedding Soup
This soup is chock-full of meatballs and pasta and vegetables- adapted from Ina Garten's Back to Basics Cookbook: Italian Wedding Soup
There are some days when it's so chilly outside that you feel like you might not make it from the car to your front door without obtaining a bit of frostbite. These are the days that soup feels entirely perfect and comforting for dinner. But can soup be considered a main dish? My husband doesn't think so. When soup is placed in front of him for his evening meal, he looks at me, smiles and says, "What's for dinner?" My loving response is, "Sweetheart… some soups are meant to be main dishes. This is one of them." And it is!
Prep for this soup first involves making the meatballs. Mix the (turkey & sausage) meatball ingredients and spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet.
Baking the meatballs in the oven makes this entire process so much simpler than trying to saute 40 meatballs in a skillet. They're done cooking after about 30 minutes.
While the meatballs are cooking, you can prep the soup…chopped onion, carrot, and celery with chicken broth and wine. Pasta and fresh dill are added in toward the end.
Your cooked meatballs are then slipped in. It's set to simmer for a bit before adding in fresh spinach, giving it a taste and adding in any needed salt and pepper.
Now, if this soup isn't a meal in itself… I don't know what is.
Warm, comforting, colorful, healthy and delicious. Serve it to your family knowing that it will fill their tummies and warm their souls in the chilly days of winter. And fyi, my husband is a good guy… a great guy. He just never had homemade soup growing up, and he is actually very happy about having this one for dinner!
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Italian Wedding Soup
- 3/4 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 pound turkey sausage, casings removed
- 2/3 cup fresh white bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 medium cloves)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup minced yellow onion
- 1 cup diced carrots (about 3 medium)
- 1 cup diced celery (about 2 large stalks)
- 10 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup small pasta (I used mini bow-tie pasta)
- 1/4 cup minced fresh dill
- 8 ounces fresh baby spinach- trimmed, washed & patted dry
- extra Parmesan cheese, for serving
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare meatballs: Place ground meats, bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, Parmesan, milk, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl and combine gently with a fork. With a teaspoon, drop 1-inch meatballs onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper (you'll make somewhere around 40 meatballs). Bake for 30 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned. Set aside.
- Prepare soup: Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large stock pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery and saute until softened, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil. Add pasta to the simmering broth and cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes, until the pasta is tender. Add the fresh dill and then the meatballs to the soup and simmer for 1 minute. Taste for salt and pepper. Stir in spinach and cook for 1 minute, until spinach is just wilted. Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle each serving with extra grated Parmesan cheese.

First of all – this soup looks very yummy! Secondly, I am feeling especially like not going outside today because it is -10 degrees here this morning!
Grumpy says the same thing about soups and he never is happy if I try to feed him any kind of sandwich for dinner. He says he eats sandwiches for lunch and wants nothing to do with them for dinner!
I've never made Italian Wedding Soup but it does look perfectly comforting for a cold day!
Never made it. Looks lovely.
I made soup this weekend and it was so yummy! That's one thing I do love about winter! LOL
Have a great week!
I've made this before and LOVED it! The only thing I didn't like was the romano cheese. I'll use parm next time!
Every time I see a recipe for this soup, I make a mental note to try it, but for some reason I never have. I'm putting this on my list of recipes to try immediately. It looks wonderful!
My goodness, this looks delicious. I love that the meatballs are made with ground turkey, making it a healthier option. I'm in such a soup kind of mood lately. This recipe is a keeper.
I'm glad I saw this before I finished my menu planning for the week. This looks delicious! I love that the meatballs are made with turkey and turkey sausage and are baked instead of fried. I'm making this soup this week!
Your photos are awesome, as usual! 🙂
Lori, this Italian wedding soup looks delicious. Love Ina Gartens style of cookig – pure & simple.
I've been wanting to make Italian Wedding soup as I never have. I love Ina's recipes, so this will be the perfect fit. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful photos!!
Seeing your description and fab photos, I think I want this for breakfast! It truly does look like a hearty meal. This will be made ASAP before the Phoenix cold weather goes away!
I just woke up and you are making me HUNGRY! Thanks! =)
It's been really cold here and I am house bound due to an injury, so soup (this one in particular) sounds marvelous. =)
So glad you made it and liked it, Lori. I saw her do it…but it looked like such a chore! You make it look simple!
Mmm, that looks really good. My roommate would be all over that soup. I should make him some.
Just made this… tastes great! Didn't find 8oz of spinach to be enough… thanks!
Dear Ina,
I am a soup person. I cook anything for my family from Chinese shark fin soup (premium soup usually served in wedding banquet) to wonton, Korean tofu soup, Thai tom yum, Vietnamese pho… I am planning to make this Italian wedding soup the first time for my office Thanksgiving potluck this Monday. I like your recipe the best, and the picture is worth a thousand words!!! Thank you so much, I am adding this delicious recipe to my soup list. and it will definitely be on my family Thanksgiving dinner as well!
Have a fabulous Sunday,
Best Regards,
Tiffany P.
I made this for a work function and this was all anyone talked about. I changed it up a little bit by using ground chicken and hot italian chicken sausage patties. Also I added about 2-3 more garlic cloves to the meatballs and used seasoned bread crumbs and a parmesan and romano cheese mix. I omitted the wine and dill as well. It was amazing and I am now getting requests to make it for other functions. ENJOY
Oh and I also used acini di pepe noodles instead. They are the little round balls. LOL
this certainly is a meal. So much goodness going on there. Love it
Good stuff, I skipped the step of baking the meatballs and just dumped them in the soup raw and let the juices cook into the broth.
I grew up eating Italian wedding soup at family celebrations and as a first course on holidays (my mom was Sicilian). With all due respect to Ina, I shuddered at the inclusion of dill (really?) and, please, the soup is much better if you use escarole over spinach, although spinach will do in a pinch.
I first made this recipe a year ago and it is now a staple that my husband and I make. It is just the perfect soup for a cold night. The hardest part of this soup is not eating all the meatballs before you put them in the soup! Thanks for sharing this!
I made this today. It's reallllly good. But the only problem is that it's too much stuff and not enough broth! Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't know whether to add another cup chicken broth and a no white wine, or a little bit of both.
I made this soup this weekend and I loved it! One thing I wish there was more broth, but ill just add some more stock next time.
I'm pinning this. It looks so good especially right now that it's freezing outside. Soup is perfect.
I made this tonight, and used ground chicken instead of turkey. I think next time I will use beef/veal/pork. I guess I'm not fond of poultry meatballs, but the dish turned out really good. Like others mentioned, it could've had more broth, but like I said, it was very tasty, and filling.
Ina doesn't have a clue as to how to make an authentic "Italian Wedding Soup"! First of all, the tiny meatballs are traditionally made with ground veal, not turkey! She should stick with her own (pretentious) "French Cuisine", and not attempt to make dishes which are authentically Italian….since she doesn't know how to make them. She suggested that you should add oil into your pasta water when cooking it….in order to keep the pasta from sticking together!! NO Italian cook would ever do that, since the oil will keep the sauce from sticking to the pasta. That woman is a total joke, and very 'pretentious! Also, what's up with all of those 'gays' on her cooking shows in the Hamptons, and doesn't she ever change her clothes? The only 'normal' person on her show is her husband, Jeffery.
This soup is amazing and perfect on a frigid Midwest day! I made for the first time a couple of months ago, and my husband loved it so much he me to make it again. I love the turkey meatballs as well.
The only thing I will do differently is add more spinach and yes, it does need a bit more broth. No biggie. The dill is a wonderful flavor, too!
I know this is a little late to comment, but I have to tell you. I made this soup for my family a couple years ago now and everyone instantly loved it! This is our favorite soup to make, and I've even used the meatballs in different recipes. In fact I just made it tonight to take to a party tomorrow. I always have to double the recipe so there's plenty to go around. I made this to serve as the soup course at my parent's 30th anniversary party to great reviews! It really is addicting!

Mumbai, Feb. 10 -- Just two films old, Arjun Kapoor is already considered among Bollywood's top young talents. Here, he discusses his equation with co-star Ranveer Singh, their alleged tiff over actor Anushka Sharma and how his cousin, actor Sonam Kapoor (who happened to walk in half-way through this interview), is his possessive, mother-like sibling.
'It's not just about one person. I've now let my guard down because I'm getting respect from the audience, the media and the fraternity in general. But yes, Ranveer has had an impact on me as a person, in a good way. He's a positive guy. Whatever the media disliked about him a few years ago is exactly what they like about him now. If we had a problem, we wouldn't be doing a film together. We decided that we had each other's phone numbers to clarify things, and not use newspapers. We met at a party and said, 'You and I both keep the faith. Let's not jeopardise our friendship over trivial issues.' Now, I don't want our friendship to be jinxed. I'm so busy with work that I barely get to meet my sister Anshula. I feel very bad. But Sonam checks on me like a mother now. She calls every week, asking if she should send something to eat, or if I need anything else. She has become this mother father-brother-sister. Professionally, we have a very non-interfering relationship. She is known for her own choices and in the same way, she wants me to create my own personality. Personally, yes, I have to take Sonam's 'aashirwad' (blessings) before I settle with any girlfriend or even befriend a girl (laughs). Sonam is a possessive sister. During school, she would use me as an older brother as per her convenience. I will be aware of her opinion if someone steps into my life. I (will) need acceptance and validation. Sonam will say, 'I have given my opinion, now you take a call.'

Weather to worsen as UK surveys trail of devastation
Storms, high tides and gale-force winds have left a trail of devastation around the UK, with warnings that conditions are set to worsen.
Hundreds of homes have been flooded from Cornwall to Scotland, with roads and fields across the country left under water.
Chiswell and Portland in Weymouth, Dorset, were evacuated of their residents ahead of high tide last night, while around 100 people living in Aberystwyth, Dyfed, were advised to move to higher ground, with many taking shelter in rest centres.
People across the UK protected their homes with sand bags and flood gates as the waters rose around them.
In London, the Thames Barrier was closed at 1am to protect the capital from flooding, the Environment Agency (EA) said, and is expected to reopen at about 4am.
This morning there were four severe flood warnings in place -- meaning a danger to life -- for Gloucestershire and Dorset, with a further 96 flood warnings and 222 flood alerts.
There are delays at the Port of Dover because of weather conditions, while the Highways Agency said the M48 Severn Crossing has been re-opened in to all vehicles.
As the new year storms continued, the British government came under fire yesterday for plans to cut an estimated 1,700 jobs at the EA, with 550 staff from the floods team to go.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said front-line flood defences would be protected after EA chief Paul Leinster said risk maintenance would be "impacted" and work on flood warnings would "have to be resized".
High tides and large waves flooded streets in Looe in Cornwall and Salcombe and Kingsbridge in Devon.
Emergency services rescued four people from a flooded farm in Llanbedr near Barmouth, north west Wales; the River Severn burst its banks in Gloucestershire and a pregnant woman was rescued after 30 properties were flooded in Cardigan, mid-Wales. An 18-year-old man is missing in Devon after he went to photograph the bad weather.
Mr Harry Martin was last seen at 2pm on Thursday walking toward a coastal path after he left his home in Membland, Newton Ferres.
Two people have already died in the storms.
A 27-year-old man from Surrey was found on Porthleven beach in Cornwall after he was swept out to sea on New Year's Eve night, and a woman died after being rescued from the sea in Croyde Bay, north Devon.
The ferocious weather has left widespread damage.
In Aberystwyth, debris was strewn across the promenade, rail lines in north Wales were left buckled by the power of the sea and a road collapsed in Amroth, Pembrokeshire.
Officials pleaded with people to keep away as dozens put their life at risk by going to coastal areas to watch as the storm brought waves up to 40ft high crashing on to land.
A man and child were almost swept away by a huge wave at Mullion Cove in Cornwall as they peered over the sea wall to watch the raging sea.
Elsewhere in Cornwall vehicles driving on a coastal road were swamped and almost washed away by a tidal surge.
Mark Pilcher, from the EA, said: "I know people like to go out and look at the drama of the waves -- but please, keep away from this water."
Mr Paterson chaired a meeting of the government's emergencies committee Cobra to discuss the weather situation, and said that 130,000 homes had been protected by 2,170 miles of coastal defences.
Further bad weather is expected today, forecasters said, with rain giving way to snow in southern Scotland and northern England.
Heavy rain is likely to affect southern England, clearing eastwards in the afternoon. Up to 30mm of rain could fall in six hours, and there are more warnings of flooding and travel disruption.

Hold Your Horses
When hay prices soar, Natalie encounters a cash crisis on the farm and wonders how she'll be able to feed her animals. Sean suggests selling the horses to cut costs. Desperate not to part with her horses, Natalie takes Jory to a horse trainer in an attempt to get her re-interested in riding and to convince Sean not to sell them. Meanwhile, Natalie considers pursuing a grain sponsorship -- it may be her only chance at keeping all of her animals and saving her fleece business.
