Remembering Robert Vaughn
Originally presented in Winter 2016 issue of Jack Lords Hair.
Like many people, I was saddened to hear of the recent passing of Robert Vaughn. A tweet noting his passing said it best when they described Mr. Vaughn as "The coolest person on television." Whether he was playing Napoleon Solo, international spy from the 60's TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., or evil corporate mogul Dick Lecter in Pootie Tang, Robert Vaughn brought an irrepressible cool to whatever part he played.
When producers sought someone to play a corporate type, an aristocrat, a jet-setter or a high-class scoundrel, there were many actors available. However, there was only one Robert Vaughn. He had an air of intrigue which made him perfect as Napoleon Solo. That same intrigue lent itself nicely to his performance as the troubled gunman Lee in The Magnificent Seven.
Robert Vaughn has always struck me as someone who was too big for TV. I'm not saying that he fancied himself as someone who was too big for TV, rather I think his talent was better suited for the silver screen. He was perfect as the ambitious Senator Chalmers in Bullitt, serving as a thorn in the side of Steve McQueen's character throughout the film (This would be not be the last time Mr. Vaughn portrayed a politician, he would reunite with Mr. McQueen in The Towering Inferno).
However, talent and ambition does not always translate into superstardom. Hollywood is a strange place where the cream does not always rise to the top. Robert Vaughn had some memorable roles on the silver screen but like many actors, his filmography had some questionable choices (Did he really need to star in Killer Birds or C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the Chud?). Still, even when he starred in duds like Superman III and Battle Beyond the Stars, he made the films a little bit more enjoyable with his performances. Whether he needed a down payment on a yacht or he wouldn't to try something different, he seemed to be having fun.
A quintessential example of Mr. Vaughn's coolness was his role as Napoleon Solo. Like James Bond (both Bond and Solo were the creations of Ian Fleming), you got the feeling that Napoleon was in it more for the girls and glamorous lifestyle than he was out of any devotion to country (not that either man were portrayed as unpatriotic). Solo and Bond always got the job done but they had a lot of fun along the way, never showing any sign of distress. One of my favorite scenes with Solo is from the film The Spy in the Green Hat (several of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'s two-part episodes were edited into feature length films for overseas distribution). In it, Solo and his partner Illya Kuryakin have just fought with killers from the villainous group known as THRUSH, and are chasing the enemy. As their car races down the street, Napoleon sits in the passenger side, resting his hand on his chin as if this is just a leisurely Sunday drive. Yes, Napoleon Solo was one suave spy.
Mr. Vaughn found success in America and the U.K. During the early 70's, he starred in The Protectors, a show about private detectives operating in Western Europe. Mr. Vaughn fit in quite nicely as Harry Rule, one of three operatives (although the show featured other "Protectors" along the way) who fought crime and helped the helpless (usually beautiful young women). The half-hour show could be hit and miss with its scripts (although some were rather good) but it was shot on location throughout Europe, providing some beautiful scenery for Mr. Vaughn to appear in.
Just as he wasn't afraid to appear in films like Chud 2, Mr. Vaughn wasn't above doing celebrity endorsements. When you see a celebrity do a paid endorsement, you have to wonder whether they're paying for a new summer home or if they're down on their luck. Whatever the reason, Mr. Vaughn appeared as a paid spokesperson for a series of ads for personal injury attorneys. Normally, such ads rate about a 5 on the degrading level (with 1 being "humiliating" as seen by June Allyson doing commercials for Depends and 10 being "acceptable" as seen by Florence Henderson's old spots for Wesson cooking oil). In Mr. Vaughn's case, he pulled it off without losing any prestige. The man was so stylish that he could do a commercial for Charmin with him dropping a deuce in an outhouse and you'd still marvel at his style. Despite his ups and downs, Mr. Vaughn remained a bankable star. His role as American con artist Albert Stroller in the BBC series Hustle endeared him to a new generation of fans and reminded long-time fans why they've enjoyed his work throughout the years. In recent years, he guest starred on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and his last two films were The American Side and Gold Star.
In addition to his Hollywood career, Mr. Vaughn was actively involved with politics throughout his life and was one of the first celebrities to protest the Vietnam War. Mr. Vaughn obtained a PhD in Communications and debated William F. Buckley about the war on an episode of Firing Line. Mr. Vaughn died on November 11, 2016 from acute leukemia.

The first phase of the Loxahatchee Groves campus is slated for completion this fall.
Gov. Rick Scott announced on Tuesday his plans to slice approximately $256.1 million in projects before signing the "Florida First" spending plan into law. PBSC's long-planned campus, which will create greater access to higher education and job training for residents and businesses in Palm Beach County's west-central area, is not among the cuts. The campus will serve more than 3,000 students initially.
The first building, a 50,000-square-foot multipurpose facility, is slated for completion this fall on the 75-acre campus on Southern Boulevard west of B Road. It is the major piece of the $30 million first phase that also included building and site design, paving, drainage, utility infrastructure and the furniture, fixtures and equipment. While some classes or information sessions will be offered at the new campus this fall, a complete schedule of courses will begin in January 2017.
With health sciences and technology as the initial focus of the Loxahatchee Groves campus, the College will offer the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, Health Information Technology Associate in Science degree, Health Informatics Specialist certificate, Medical Information Coder/Biller certificate and Medical Transcription applied technology diploma. General courses leading to the Associate in Arts degree also will be offered. Last month, the College signed a memorandum of understanding with Boca Raton-based Modernizing Medicine to create an innovative training hub at the campus. The MOU provides that Modernizing Medicine would give PBSC students training for healthcare jobs, access to its groundbreaking iPad-based electronic health record (EHR) system, modmed EMA™, and practice management system, modmed PM™. In exchange, Modernizing Medicine, which employs approximately 500 people, would have access to certain campus facilities to provide training to its customers.
The idea of a possible fifth campus first surfaced in August 2004 when the District Board of Trustees authorized former PBSC president Dr. Dennis P. Gallon, who retired last June, to pursue a feasibility study. The Florida Board of Education approved Palm Beach State's request to build a fifth campus in April 2006, and the College finalized the purchase of the 75 acres in October 2012. The campus will bear Gallon's name.
The Legislature had already approved $6 million for the campus in 2014. The remaining $15 million from the project is coming from local funds.

Fashion chain's CEO and chair quit after £25m blunder
Resignations at Ted Baker after profits warning and year of scandal
Ted Baker has taken a battering on the high street, in the Far East and in the boardroom
Troubled retailer Ted Baker's chief executive and chairman have quit in the wake of a £25 million inventory blunder.
Chief executive Lindsay Page had only taken over from founder Ray Kelvin after he quit in March amid claims of an inappropriate 'forced hugging' culture at the firm. Page, who had been with the group since 1997 before the Company's IPO, has been replaced on an interim basis by finance director Rachel Osborne.
Fashion chain admits to £25 million inventory blunder
Ted Baker, whose first shop opened in Glasgow in 1988, has also began the search for a new chairman after David Bernstein stepped down and was replaced by Sharon Baylay as acting chair.
The group last week called in lawyers to investigate an overstatement of £20-25 million in its inventory of stock. It has scrapped its dividend payout and said it is now expecting annual pre-tax profits of between £5 million and £10 million after worse-than-expected trading in November and over Black Friday. This compares with pre-tax profits of £50.9 million the previous year.

And I still miss the Gravity spell to this day.
OoO. I actually did not know about this method of defeating Maleficent. I just stand on her back and spam Strike Raid then use some Ethers. This is so much more effective! Thank you for sharing it!
ROTFL, I didn't know that one either. ^^ That is better than my usual too. Thanks for sharing it.
Stop and gravity are just so amazing. ;_; I want all of this back.
0:36 "All my bones and.."
0:41 "...organs feel like jelly!"
I used to think that Gravity was a stupid move when I was young. Didn't realize how good it was until I gave up using Fire after failing against Ice Titan and started trying new things.
This is amazing. I didn't know this either. lol. xD I'll have to remember that if I ever play KH ever again.


I play drums in the WWRY band.
This is my 5th production with Marquee.
I've always been a huge fan of musicals, so to be able to participate in bringing such a large variety of musical productions to life is incredibly satisfying!
Without a doubt, every song in this show is a gem, which makes picking a favourite particularly difficult. Rhythmically though, I love "Under Pressure". For such a simple 4/4 rock beat, it has an incredible groove, helped to large extent by the brilliant bass line that plays throughout! Fantastic song!
Do you have any rituals that you do to help you to prepare before you perform?
It always comes down to practice! I make it a point to practice my charts daily, so that I'm fully prepared by the time we hit the stage. Being fully prepared also means that you can play with confidence, which can impact the performance of others.
It's very much like being part of a family. A family of very talented, dedicated and hard-working individuals.
We Will Rock You is a remarkable musical tribute to one of rocks' most loved and enduring rock groups, Queen. With an incredible cast and a smoking hot band, you'll hear over 20 of Queens' best songs. This is a must see production!!

One of the most common electrical wiring concerns is on how to wire a swap. Whilst employing switches at home is sort of uncomplicated, wiring a person may well not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. There are actually several types of switches, but for this example, let's say you will be installing a single-pole toggle switch, a really prevalent swap (and the simplest).
You will find 3 colours of wires inside of a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them within the terminal screws - a person on top and the other to the bottom screw from the switch. The white wire serves being a source of uninterrupted power and is ordinarily related into a gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the green wire to the ground screw of one's switch.
These steps would frequently be enough for making a standard switch operate with out a challenge. However, in case you aren't self-assured that you choose to can achieve the job effectively and securely you superior permit the professionals get it done rather. Soon after all, you can find a explanation why this task is amongst the most commonly encountered electrical wiring concerns asked by most of the people.
For a few cause, the way to wire a ceiling fan is also among by far the most frequent electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this task, you can use an individual swap for the single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it can be simply a make a difference of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan to the black wire from the swap. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire must be linked to your black wire in the switch at the same time.
You'll find good reasons why these are definitely quite possibly the most frequently questioned electrical wiring concerns. One particular, a lot of believe it really is uncomplicated to complete, and two, these are the common electrical responsibilities at your home. But then you certainly should not put your protection in danger within your purpose to economize. The stakes could even be substantially greater in case you make an effort to spend less and do an electrical wiring career devoid of adequate know-how or knowledge.

9Works' Tick Tick Boom
text by Ren Aguila
Tick, Tick…Boom! first came to my attention in an article on Jonathan Larson I read two decades ago. It was a semi-autobiographical piece written by Larson that was conceived as a "rock monologue" and staged in 1990. When it was being promoted, the story goes, he and his close friend Victoria Leacock would send three-part faxes to New York news outlets. The first part was "TICK," the second was "TICK," and the third was "…BOOM!" Some outlets called to see whether they were sending bomb threats. The play's explosive name conceals a story of a struggle concerning a consuming passion.
Larson passed away before finishing this semi-autobiographical piece, and Leacock asked David Auburn, who worked on the stage version of Proof, to work on the piece. He revised it into a three-hander, which premiered in 2001 off-Broadway. When Santi Santamaria, 9 Works Theatrical's executive producer, spoke with us before the press launch of their production of this play, he said that the play enjoyed a reputation among thespians who knew about it. They could apparently relate to the musical's story of someone whose anxiety over something in which he invested a lot of time was so great that it could either explode in his face or become something wonderful, all before he turns 30. Jon, a composer, has a musical called Superbia that could be the next great American musical or be the contents of many a producer's waste bin. Yes, Superbia was a working title for this little play called Rent.
Presenting the cast of #9WTTickTickBoom: Tanya Manalang, Jef Flores and Ariel Reonal. Catch them starting Oct. 1 at the RCBC Plaza. ⏱⏱?
A photo posted by 9 Works Theatrical (@9wtonline) on Sep 6, 2016 at 10:15pm PDT
The cast for this production of Tick, Tick…Boom! brings together three actors who have distinguished themselves in various ways. Jef Flores, who plays Jon, was the 2015 Gawad Buhay winner for male lead performance in a play for This Is Our Youth and has appeared most recently in Anton Juan's revival of Godspell. This will be his second three-hander in as many years. Tanya Manalang, who plays several female characters in the production, was last in Miss Saigon's West End production as Kim and in the final run of PETA's Rak of Aegis. Ariel Reonal, who also plays several male characters, recently appeared in another 9 Works production, American Idiot and was also in Miss Saigon on the West End.
Director Robbie Guevarra expressed his excitement over the play's staging. He was notably excited about the challenge of working with a bare set and using lighting to denote changes in location. He was also excited about the material, which like many in the theater world, he could relate to. He even argued that some, if not all of the material, could fit into Larson's more popular production, Rent. As for the author, if the opening song "30/90" was enough to make him feel that it was dusty in the room, he is excited to catch the play when it opens. The play premieres on October 1 and runs till the 23rd .

Exploration of Zionism is "Honest, … Balanced, and Beautifully Crafted"
Kathryn Bernheimer May 1, 2016	Arts & Culture Comments Off on Exploration of Zionism is "Honest, … Balanced, and Beautifully Crafted"
At a time when Israel's legitimacy is questioned more than ever, this new film seeks to contextualize the triumphs and trials of the Jewish homeland. Award-winning documentarians Joseph Dorman and Oren Rudavsky take a multifaceted approach to a polarizing subject in this examination of the origins, meaning and future of the Jewish national movement, from its birth at a moment of crisis to the thriving democracy of today. Featuring candid commentary by Israeli and Palestinian politicians, academics, and activists of various generations, the film resists one-sided and simplistic historical interpretations.
A feature length documentary on one of today's most explosive issues, the film is a searching and dramatic exploration of the dream of a Jewish state and its impact on both Jews and Arabs, unfolding across the broad canvas of one hundred fifty years of history from 19th century Europe to the modern Middle East. Told through the remarkable lives and voices of Jews and Palestinians living in the Middle East today, Colliding Dreams weaves together past and present, ideas and passions, wars and peace talks, brilliant minds with the voices of ordinary citizens to develop a film portrait of sensitivity and depth like none before of the story of Zionism and its controversies. Early reviews call it "Honest, searching, affectionate, respectful, critical" and "beautifully crafted; balanced, incredibly informative."
"Illuminating, provocative, vital and engaging. In this thought-provoking and ethically edifying documentary, there are interviews with 30 individuals including historian Benny Morris, novelist A. B. Yehoshua, PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi, American-born writer Hillel Hankin, founding Peace Now member Yuli Tamir, Israeli army colonel Mordecai Bar-Or, and many more." – NYC Movie Guru
"A coolheaded survey of a fraught topic. The highly intelligent commentators make for fascinating listening. COLLIDING DREAMS recounts the dramatic history of one of the most controversial, and urgently relevant political ideologies of the modern era. The century-old conflict in the Middle East continues to play a central role in world politics. And yet, amidst this fierce, often-lethal controversy, the Zionist idea of a homeland for Jews in the land of ancient Israel remains little understood and its meanings often distorted. COLLIDING DREAMS addresses that void with a gripping exploration of Zionism's meaning, history." – Newsday
"This excellent, even-handed history of Zionism opens a much-needed space for moderate voices. Joseph Dorrman and Oren Rudavsky's excellent history of the changing faces of the ideology that built the State of Israel offers a careful antidote to the shrill entrenchment that attends the very mention of Zionism. "Colliding Dreams" tracks the rise of the Zionist idea to the persecution of European Jewry, as well as to its less well-known roots in the Enlightenment and the rise of European nationalism in all its forms. Colliding Dreams opens a much-needed space for moderate, less inflamed voices. The result shows that it doesn't necessarily take a lot of fancy graphics to make a great documentary. A host of smart academics, novelists, politicians and journalists, interspersed with sidewalk testimony from ordinary Israelis and Palestinians, are juxtaposed with telling footage which the filmmakers repurpose into an interrogative, though never strident revision of official stories. – Variety
"It's really, wonderfully refreshing to find a film that centers on storytelling like this. Co-directors Joseph Dorman and Oren Rudavsky present an impressive collection of interviews with Palestinians, Israelis, and those who fall somewhere in between: with PLO officials in Ramallah and secular Jewish novelists in Tel Aviv; with Palestinian scholars in East Jerusalem and Orthodox followers of Rabbi Kook in West Jerusalem; with ordinary people on the street and in cafés in the West Bank and Israel." – LA Times

It was in 1986 that the film Highlander was premiered, and here we are in 2018 some 32 years later and Microgaming have just launched its own fully themed Highlander slot based completely around that blockbusting film, and boy what a slot it is!
You have to hand it to Microgaming, when they do get the rights and the license to launch a slot machine themed around any film they really do push the boat out in regards to the design of that slot, and there is a lot to like about the way the new Highlander slot game plays and pays!
You really should give the new Highlander slot game from Microgaming some play time soon, and it is a slot that comes with an unusual playing format, for when playing for any of its available staking options you have a huge 243 ways of forming a winning combination or possibly several of them!
It is a fixed stake slot, so you do need to be aware of that staking structure, but being a slot offered at casinos with different currency option settings you can play it in your own home currency and the minimum bet per spin is 0.40 and the maximum stake per spin is a much higher 30.00.
There are a colourful cast of character reel symbols in play on the highlander slot that you may recognise from the film, and those symbols for reference are the higher paying reel symbols, and as such they will be the ones you will want to see matching sets of spinning in from left to right!
The scatter symbols are quite unique on the highlander slot game for as soon as you get a set of just two of them spinning in they are going to transform into wild symbols, so depending on which reels they do spin in on they could help you form multiple winning combinations when they do turn wild.
The one main reason why you will be playing video slots is of course in the hope you win a jackpot or trigger a huge paying bonus game! The jackpot on the highlander slot grows in value the higher the stake level you play it for and you need a wild symbol anywhere on each of the five reels to win it.
The bonus game is a potentially high paying one you will be pleased to learn, but the only way in which you are going to get to play it off is by you spinning into view three, four or all five of the scatter symbols, spinning in one or two of them will not see you triggering the bonus game!
You will end up playing off a set of 10 free spins as soon as you are lucky enough to spin in three or more scatter symbols in view. Those free spins do play off with the 243 ways to win playing structure in live play and they will be on the same stake you wagered on the triggering spin too.
However, as you play off each of those free spins you will be hoping the random Quickening Wilds feature is awarded to you. When it is a set of the non wild symbols will be randomly chosen to be turned into wild symbols, and each time that feature is awarded a growing number of wild symbols are added to the screen!


Rise of the Tomb Raider is a third-person action-adventure which was developed by Crystal Dynamics and will be published by Square Enix and Microsoft Studios. Rise of the Tomb Raider is the sequel of the 2013 game Tomb Raider.
Square Enix have announced that the game will be launched November 10, 2015 for Xbox One and Xbox 360, but do not worry, this is a 'time exclusive' thing only. This means that the game is set to launched for PC in the 'Early 2016' and then for the official release of the game for PS4 will be 'Holiday 2016'. It is suspected the game will be launched around the first quarter of 2016, which is not a long wait from the Xbox release, unfortunately for the PS4 platform it may seem the game will only be available around November next year.
In the Rise of the Tomb Raider, the player takes control of Lara Croaft through various environments, completing puzzles and battling enemies while you are using improvised gadgets and weapons to make your way through the story. The in-game environment includes a weather system which will allow the humans and animal characters to act to the day and night cycles. This game is has undergone an combat redesign which will give the player more stealthy and perform sneaky attacks. The player can use the environment to confuse the enemies, hide in trees and travelling along the roof tops to avoid combat altogether, similar to that of Thief.
The story of the game is that Lara Croft has experienced some supernatural activity on Yamatai, but a organization by the name of Trinity has been covering it all up, and to prove that Lara hasn't lost her mind, she tries becomes obsessed with find the truth behind the myths around the world to prove she is not insane. Rise of the Tomb Raider follows Jonah Maiava and Lara Croft as they search for the ancient city Kitezh in Siberia, which was built in the 13th century by the Grand prince of Vladimir, which Lara has come to believe that it hold some truth behind immortality.

Field Trip: Sen. Bob Martin Eastern Ag Center gains 152 stalls with addition of new horse barn
by Brian Long | Mar 31, 2010
From left, Sen. Clark Jenkins, Board of Agriculture member Casey Armstrong, Rep. Edith Warren and Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler prepare to cut the ribbon to open the new horse barn at the Sen. Bob Martin Eastern Ag Center in Williamston.
Durward Taylor is a happy fellow. The Sen. Bob Martin Eastern Ag Center in Williamston, which he manages, recently opened a new horse barn unit that increases the center's capacity.
The new barn has 152 stalls, bringing total capacity to 456. That will enable the center to book larger horse shows and allow existing shows to expand.
Taylor, along with Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, Rep. Edith Warren, Sen. Clark Jenkins and other state and local officials, recently cut the ribbon on the new 29,000-square-foot barn unit.
The project was funded through a $3 million appropriation from the General Assembly in 2007. Construction began in February 2009 and was completed in early March of this year.
"This center has been a great asset for the community here by drawing visitors to the area, providing business opportunities and supporting jobs," Troxler said. "We want to see the ag center continue to succeed and create more opportunities for Williamston and Martin County.
"Local support for the ag center has been great since it opened in 1998, and we appreciate the way the community has embraced our newest project here," Troxler said.
Last year, horse shows at the Sen. Bob Martin Eastern Ag Center drew more than 5,300 horses and 13,000 people, with an estimated local economic impact of more than $4 million. The center also brings in concerts, truck pulls and rodeos, and has a meeting center that hosts business meetings, wedding receptions and other events.
In the short video below, Taylor, the center's manager, talks about the importance of the new barn unit and other aspects of the ag center.

What do people see in Hinata?
Discussion in 'Konoha Library Archives' started by argon, Nov 3, 2005.
She knew that Naruto was an outcast, she knew that he was misunderstood, she say she understands him, she admires him, but she never really acted on any of it. I don't see where the Hinata fans come from, isn't that a pretty bastardly thing to do? Am I missing something?

She see naruto as her source of inspiration. They share some similarities, both are lOoked down upon one by the village the other by her clan. Naruto despite the hatred walks forward fighting for his dream. Hinata sees that as her inpiration so she strives to be like him and has developed an affection for him.
It just so happens that there personalities are opposites which make them a cute cupple
Chatulio, Nov 3, 2005
She was too weak to defend herself, while Naruto did defend himself. That was her inspiration.
I have absolutely no idea what draws me to Hinata, she's just a magnet.
RockLee, Nov 3, 2005
Bronwen
Well I suppose it could be worse. She could be killing her clan right now. Such a bastardly thing Hinata doing, not acting on wanting to befriend Naruto.
We like Hinata. Simply as that. I admire her perserverance to continue despite the fact that she thinks she's weak. I admire that she's the only one to see the Naruto before anyone else.
But I like Hinata NOT because of what she isn't or is doing with Naruto. It's her personality and her kindness. I dunno.

Oh yea man you are so right! I mean obviously, being too shy to talk to the boy you like is the worst thing anyone could ever do! I've been looking at hinata all wrong! I mean... NO ONE in the hisotry of this planet, in the hisotry of anime itself, has EVER been too shy to tell the opposite sex how they feel!! I mean i remember when I WAS the shy little 12 year old with an inferiority complex due to my parents (thats true...) I was going up to EVERYONE i admired and told them just how i felt!
She is the only person to see past the rumors and insults everyone said about naruto, TO naruto, and saw him for the good person he was. She gets her strength for him, and wants to change after seeing all the great things he managed to do. It is so inspireing to think of Hinata, someone who was all but shunned from her clan, shammed by her father, beaten to a pulp by her cousin, and yet she still went on because of Naruto, because he inspired her to change and do well. So what she was too shy to talk to him. Do you talk to every girl you have ever liked? If you have congrats, because im pretty sure there has always been atleast one person in everyone's life that they like and admire and adore, but dont say anything about it to them.

Yeko, Nov 3, 2005
So I take it you just missed all those frames in past chapters were Kishi has shown how intensely shy Hinata is (particularly when it comes to Naruto) then?
hiko, Nov 3, 2005
Omolara
Just about every girl can identify with Hinata in some way. She's painfully shy, lacks confidence in herself, and her dad doesn't care. She's over-looked and un-appreciated. Yet, in spite of all that, she's not bitter. Not at all. She still tries to be encouraging to her teammates and tries to improve herself.
That puts her way up there in my mind. In addition to those things, she is one of few people to truly see Naruto. To her he's not just some loud-mouthed hyperactive trouble maker. She sees underneath the underneath when it comes to him, and loves him for who he is.
Hinata has acknowledged him from the very beginning because he embodies all the things that she wishes she could be. The only only other people who truly acknowledged him and understood him were the Third, Iruka, Kakashi, and to a certain degree Sakura and Sasuke.
Omolara, Nov 3, 2005
It's not so much that Hinata is great, just that people really, really, REALLY hated Sakura in Part 1 and picked up a strong liking for Hinata as an alternative. If Sakura had been as cool then as she is now, Hinata wouldn't be any more popular than, say, Neji.
Marsala, Nov 3, 2005
Low-fi Boy
The thing that pisses me off is after watching him leave the village and all that "I will do my best, too" and all that resolve and determination, she's still too shy too talk to him. After 2.5 years. Like, get over it ?.?
Low-fi Boy, Nov 3, 2005
Redstar said:
Obviously, she was referring to her ninja abilities and improvement, which we can see it worked, as she's a chuunin. She said nothing about gaining enough courage to talk to Naruto or anything like that. ^^;
And hey, she's crushing on Naruto, hasn't seen him for 2.5 years, only to suddenly bump into him talking to her teammates. Naruto's all mature-looking and cool, as Sakura can attest to. Of course she'd freak out, blush and hide. And she was thinking MAYBE about telling him about her feelings... of course, Naruto then has to show up about 5cm away from her face, causing her to faint. ^^; It's quite in character of her, hehe.

I bet if Naruto laid down some pipe work she'd snap outta all that shyness.
and the only reason i like her is because i HATE the whole Naruto x Sakura thing people seem to think will happen. delusional fools.
RAGING BONER, Nov 3, 2005
I dont know if its a joke or not but I see alot of posts about Hinata's body... so maybe thats one of the reasons why some people like her.

So she can let Naruto be lonely, because she's shy, and that's why she is a likeable person?

She's every nerd's dream girl. That's all there is to it. That's why she's so popular in Japan, too.
It's not deep or anything. There's one girl exactly like her in almost every anime, and definately in every romance anime.

~BONER~ said:
:rofl, I suppose that nerdy girls falls under this category, that every nerdy girl's dream is to become Hinata or wants Hinata? XD
Mizura
I like Hinata because she was willing to push herself within 10 minutes of death just to change her inherently weak Nature. You rarely hear people even formulating the will to say "I must become less lazy" or "I must become less scared" or "I must become more confident". You even more rarely see people pushing themselves within 10 minutes of death to accomplish that.
Inner change is imo the hardest of all. And Hinata fought against her very weak nature. The way I see it, she truly was weak, within and without, but she clawed against her limits no matter how low they were. It was a change from all those characters who while perhaps physically weak, had bucket loads of inner strength to draw from.
That said, I couldn't be more annoyed by her dependence on and hero-worshipping of Naruto. It's good to draw strength from a source of inspiration, but where Naruto used to be her character development, it seems that he has since become her Lack of character development. For a 12 years-old rookie genin, her attitude was still acceptable, but imo it's unacceptable for a 15 years-old chuunin kunoichi. What's she going to do out in a mission, squeal loudly as soon as Naruto suddenly show up, then Faint?

Bronwen said:
Yup, all nerd girls like Hinata because they want to be swept off of their feet by a l33t ninja like Naruto. Hinata's basically a stereotype of what alot of anime fangirls would be like in real life.
And anyone who watches anime can be classified as a nerd. Even in Japan, people who watch anime over a certain age are classified as weird otaku and looked down upon. You don't have to dress or look the par to be the part, Astranagun. Hell, many nerds these days try NOT to dress like nerds to blend in even more. Doesn't mean they aren't nerds.

Excuse me, not all Hinata fans are NaruHina fans.
I like NejiHina because in that relationship, she won't be overshadowed by her male partner (she's shown clearly enough that she's willing to take a stand when it comes to confronting Neji when he's wrong), and she'd clearly be Clan Leader with Neji being her protector. I dislike NaruHina because I can only see Hinata as ending up as "the Hokage's wife". NaruHina can be described in many ways... "mature" or "equal partnership" are not one of them. >.>
Strider M
Hinata is absolutely awesome... Not because of what everyone else says... But it was the fact that she is a shy ninja.....
A SHY NINJA people!
I mean the fact that she's alive now is amazing... its obvious she got skills... and besides every other girl who liked Sasuke, Hinata was the one that like Naruto... For completely different reasons.
Really, Ever since the Neji/Hinata fight I'm waiting for Those two to do a Tag-combo Jyuuken(sp?) Fist Super Attack!

People see similarities in Hinata and themselves. I know she reminded me of myself in my younger years. I think she is striving to change and gain acknowledgement in front of the one she admires the most. This is what I like about her the most, plus she is such a unique character unlike the rest. There is no one else like her in the Naruto storyline, which makes her so cool.

Portuguese American Journal News and more for the Portuguese American Community
Community: Cecilia Fatima finalist at the SSEP Conference- Smithsonian Institution
Portuguese American Cecilia Fatima Louro Perez, was recently honored to speak at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum as a Finalist of the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP).
The SSEP is an international program organized by the National Center for Earth and Space Science exploration (NCESSE) in which students submit experiment proposals to be conducted at the International Space Station (ISS).
Cecilia Fatima finalist at SSEP
Cecilia was the Lead Investigator of the experiment "Will Tardigrade Eggs Hatch and Develop in Microgravity?" which was one of 30 experiments selected for flight, from over 2000 entries from districts across the United States, Canada and Brazil.
Experiments required that students utilize the FME mini-lab along with specific instructions for astronauts' interactions with the experiment once aboard the ISS. Similar actions will occur on earth for the ground truth and results compared at a later date.
The two-day SSEP Conference, led by Dr. Jeff Goldstein, allowed the flight finalists to present their experiments to other researchers as well as museum visitors in a format of a professional scientific conference.
The student researchers were permitted early morning access to the museum to watch the 5:41am launch of the Space X Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket along with commentary from NASA.
The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum is the most visited museum on earth, some of our most renowned scientists have yet to have the honor of speaking at the museum. The conference was held at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum June 28-29.
Cecilia is a Luso descendent from the city of Cantanhede, mainland Portugal, district of Coimbra (maternal) and Ourense, Spain (paternal). She resides with her parents (Sandra DeFatima Louro and Anthony Perez) in Springfield, New Jersey and will be an 8th grader at Florence M. Gaudineer middle school in the Fall. She has attended the Portuguese school for classes in Portuguese language and history.

Sometimes I still look at my ring and cannot believe I'm married. Can you believe that after over a year of tying the knot I still feel that way? I guess I start thinking of myself as a child and then am brought back to the realization I'm no longer a kid.
Did I envision myself married by now? Well, I wanted to get married by 25, but honestly, looking back to when I was 25, I was not ready for marriage. I was still trying to figure out who I was. Heck – I'm still trying to figure it out, but I'm way closer now than I was before.
My goal this year is to not compare myself to other people. So what if they have a house and I'm renting an apartment. So what if they have kids, while I only have dogs. So what if they're getting paid more than me. Remember – money doesn't equal happiness!
Every time you're about to compare yourself to someone else, remember that just because they have "more" than you doesn't mean they're happy with their lives. Just because people appear to be happy on the outside doesn't mean they're truly satisfied with their lives. Gosh – they could have come from a broken family, about to lose a loved one, or feel absolutely alone.
Do not believe everything you see on social media or hear in your office.
Instead, focus all your energy on YOURSELF. Think so what? What makes that person better than myself? It took me a while to realize that and some days I'm straight up unbearable to be around, but I'm trying to work on myself. I'm trying to become more confident, stronger, and stand up for what I believe in. I'm trying to state my opinion more and stop being afraid.
And, on the days I feel crappy, I come home to a husband who loves me and two adorable dogs and I start thinking about how gosh darn lucky I am. I'm lucky to have married such a nice and kind man who would give me the world.
And, then I look at how beautiful and gorgeous my ring is and what it symbolizes. It represents our love for each other and my dedication to my husband and only my husband.
After coming home, all of my bad feelings of the day float away and I'm once again remembered how great my life really is!

I'm not going to lie to you, it's going to get messy so deep breathes and remember that you will be able to sit with a cup of tea and a yummy rock cake at the end of it!
As I was prepping this on my own, it made the process a little tricky (and sticky) to photograph! We have one bowl and a set of scales to work with between us, I get each child to add an ingredient and stir/mush the mixture. They enjoy getting messy and eating dropped raisins while learning about measures, textures and turn taking.
While the cakes are doing their thing, get your little "helpers" to tidy up because toddlers love jobs (even though the results usually end up in more work for you). I gave mine the hoover and a cloth for the table.
Once the cakes are ready, get the kettle on and enjoy!

America: A Rogue Nation
The debate over the Iraq War that was held in the United Nations, and in academic and foreign policy circles, could be broken down as the question whether it was Iraq or the United States that was the rogue nation. On the one hand, Iraq had defied multiple UN resolutions, but so had the United States. Iraq had gone rogue, but, by talking about a unilateral invasion, so had the United States, and, in the moral calculus of the international community, all that mattered was being a team player.
The Iran debate is a resumption of the same old argument. Is Israel or Iran the rogue state? Both have defied the United Nations, which apart from any of the moral issues, makes them rogue states. If the only value that matters is cooperation within the international community, then Iran and Israel are on the same level.
Every now and then we wonder why we can't win wars anymore. The answer is that we don't fight wars, we fight endless police actions in the name of stability. Nearly every war we fought in the last hundred years was about stabilizing a region in an endless game of domino theory. Most of the wars were morally right, not so much because we fought them for the right reasons or in the right ways, but because our enemies were genuine monsters.
Our defense plan and foreign policy for generations has depended on maintaining an international order that would provide for common defense and common markets, and that most of all would allow for international stability. Stability has been the absolute good, instability the absolute enemy. It's not right or wrong that we care about, but the regional stability that maintains stable markets and keeps us from having to send peacekeeping forces to another hellhole.
This is the Pax Americana. This is why we did something about Iraq and Libya, countries out of step with the Arab League. It is why we will almost certainly bomb Syria and why we pressure Israel. It is also why we have done nothing about a genuine genocide in Sudan, whose regime has the support of the Arab League. It is why we will keep on pushing Taiwan into China's embrace, while trying to checkmate China's expansionism. It is why we will keep putting money and troops behind the United Nations.
United States governments have lost the ability to think of national rights and interests, apart from the international order. The two have become one and the same. It is presumed that what is good for the international community is good for America, even when that clearly is not the case because it is presumed that the infrastructure of international law and stability is an overall good.
The United Nations was not simply inept, like the League of Nations; it was a relic of another age even as its delegates trooped into the modern glass and steel building on Turtle Bay. It had been built to counter the wrong threat. The problem no longer lay with rogue industrialized nations on a conquering spree, but with an international ideology determined to subjugate civilization with its own worldwide alliance.
American power and wealth made the international order possible, but aside from the Korean War, it proved to be of very little use against Communism, which simply infiltrated it and took it over. The international order was a dream of Western liberals, and their sympathies inevitably lay with the barbarians at the gate, not with the civilization within. Their dream of inclusiveness filled the UN with legions of Third World dictatorships, giving us a choice between allying with monsters or letting the Soviet Union ally with them.
The same story is repeating itself with Islam, except we didn't spend the Cold War pretending that the Warsaw Pact were our allies, while our enemies were a handful of Communist terrorists who needed more moderate influence from the Mecca of Moscow. We bombed countries to overthrow Communist dictatorships, we did not bomb them to install "moderate" Communist dictatorships-- as we keep doing now.
The international order was useless against Communism, it is even more useless against Islam, which is not a rogue state acting outside the body of international law, but nations and non-state actors bound together by a common religion with the aim of subjugating those it considers inferior. The international community cannot do anything about Islam, because Islam is a sizable part of the international community. Nor does the international community want to do something about Islam.
International orders are based on voluntary action and after all the champagne flutes are lifted to toast peace, no one particularly wants to go out and enforce it. Not against a big target. The League of Nations folded out of sheer gutlessness. The United Nations hasn't gone the same way because it has yet to encounter a major war that would expose its uselessness. Had the Cold War gone hot, we would be reading about the United Nations in the history books. When the conflict with Islam truly explodes, the United Nations will be one of the first casualties.
The international order does not exist to prevent war, but to maintain the illusion that the current level of stability and order is due to a new plateau of human enlightenment, rather than because the combination of factors waiting to turn the simmering grudges and power vacuums of yesterday's conflict into tomorrow's war have not yet come to term. Then the tanks cross the Polish border, the planes crash into the towers and the illusion begins to collapse. The ability is gone and there is a sharp diving line between those members of the international order who will fight and those who will cower in a corner.
American elites have always had a strong Transatlantic tendency. Throughout the 19th Century, the United States was pulled to the West, but increases in communications and transportation technology, combined with government centralization, drew it back to the east and across the ocean into a European alliance to protect the mother country and the continent and patch together the ragged pieces of a post-colonial European order. From the 1940's onward, the United States was tasked with arbitrating the conflicts between the European Left and Right, and between its moderate and immoderate left.
The Pax Americana realized many of the European plans, tying together international law with free enterprise, generous international aid and a dose of moderate policing. It was a post-colonial colonialism based on ideas that we insisted were universal, even though the only countries which really held them to be self-evident truths were the colonial powers and their offspring. But mostly it all depended on American power. It still does.
The only thing worth knowing about international affairs is that everyone hates the United States and every other country in the world that isn't their own. The degree of hatred varies with prominence, proximity and exposure. Everyone hates their neighbors, even if they don't have much prominence or exposure. Most hate prominent countries with a great deal of exposure. Even minor countries that are far away, but have a great deal of exposure end up being hated after a while.
Mostly this hatred isn't violent. It takes the form of resentments, stereotypes and grudges funneled into soccer matches and angry wars of words between politicians over some minor trading dispute or the position of a few islands on the border. Small reminders that we aren't an enlightened breed, we aren't noble people, we are often petty and territorial. We are only human, and the international order that we built is only human. It has the same petty hatreds and resentments, and the same cowardice and criminality that we are capable of. The international order is a mob, and mobs are ugly things. They will tear apart the weak while fleeing the strong. A mob has less morals in a group than its individuals do. And this is the international order that we have staked our future on.
If the United States is going to survive the century, it will have to do so as a rogue nation. The international order has no future, and dying for it is madness and suicide. The international order is cooperative and turning cooperation with a system that disdains individual nations and rewards internal alliances into our supreme value in international affairs is suicide.
We have fought two useless destructive wars on the terms of the international order, with international alliances aimed at stabilizing regions, and turning rogue states into good members of the international community. We failed both times, and we lost far more men and women on these stabilizing exercises than we did in fighting the wars. We recently fought a third war with nothing to gain for it and plenty to lose. We are likely to launch a fourth war this year for the same reason, and continuing doing this road is madness.
The United States can survive without the international order, but it cannot survive the international order. It cannot survive if it continues thinking of its survival only in terms of the international order. That will mean economic suicide, demographic suicide and strategic suicide.
The international order values integration above all else. Its only values are cooperative values. The internationalists have replaced, "My Country Right or Wrong" with "The International Order Right or Wrong". And the international order has been consistently wrong for sixty years. The order today represents our enemies who wish to destroy us demographically and militarily. They want to grind us down as a separate entity and incorporate us as tools and resources into the order. That will mean not only the death of our individualism, our economy and our independence-- it will mean the death of everything when the international order falls to the Jihad.
To survive, we have to stop thinking of global stability and global markets, and start thinking of ourselves. We have to go back to discover what our national interests are and what our moral values are, instead of confusing our interests and morals with internationalism. To survive as a nation, we have to become a nation once again.

The quality of travel insurance is one thing. However, there are instances where even the best insurance will not cover the damage. Do you ask why? Because you may have violated the rules that you might not even know about, but for insurance companies, these are a huge stop.
When choosing travel insurance, do not just rely on recommendations in the travel agency. It may be unnecessarily expensive or not reliable. It is better to decide for yourself and choose the best.

It always pays to read the "unwanted side effects" on the side of the box.
Weight-loss drugs often come with unrealistic claims as well as unwanted side affects as well. Those sketchy side effects are typically listed in small print on the side of the box, where the manufacturers are sure you won't see them.
For one unlucky British teen, the writing on the side of the box was in Chinese, and the side effect was hepatitis. According to a report from Grub Street, the 16-year-old had been ordering a weight-loss green tea from China, and she'd been drinking three cups a day for several months.
After the tea started affecting her health, she went to a doctor where she was diagnosed with a urinary infection. Not long after, the teen's eyes and skin began to turn yellow, and she was rushed to the emergency room at a local Birmingham hospital.
At the hospital, doctors diagnosed the woman with hepatitis and jaundice, and blamed her health condition on additives and chemicals added to the tea.
According to a case report from the doctors that treated the teenage patient, this is not the first time that someone has contracted hepatitis from a weight-loss supplement. Please stay woke, all of you who want to slim down quick.

Ignite by Thermory mimics the traditional look of shou sugi ban with the added benefits of thermal modification. Hundreds of years ago, Japanese woodworkers prolonged the life of wood by charring the surface using fire, resulting in shou sugi ban. Ignite offers the look of charred wood with additional durability, stability and reliability. Did we mention that our process is completely flame-free?
Ignite is part of the Rebel Series: sophistication untamed. The look you want, the stability you need.
Shou sugi ban is beautiful, but using it can be problematic. Only the charred surface of the wood gains additional rot and moisture resistance, leaving the rest of the board vulnerable. Because Ignite is thermally modified, each grain is altered to maximize moisture resistance, resulting in durability to the core.
Ignite is created with a deceptively flame-free process. Each board is brushed, stained and embossed to create the signature dragon scale texture that looks nearly identical to charred wood. And unlike most modern shou sugi ban, our process is done by wood experts, not some guy with a propane torch. That also means that there is no messy residue that typically results from charring wood – just realistic texture and a bold look bound to instill envy.
Traditional shou sugi ban provides a bold look that'll set your project on fire. But it also offers the stability and durability Thermory is known for. In fact, Ignite comes with a 20+ year rot resistance rating!
That's because like all Thermory products, Ignite undergoes our expert thermal modification process. Thermory naturally enhances wood, using using only heat and steam, for results that are unequalled in rot resistance and dimensional stability.
