JST, Matthew 13:39–44.
Compare Matthew 13:39–42; see also D&C 86:1–7
39 The harvest is the end of the world, or the destruction of the wicked.
40 The reapers are the angels, or the messengers sent of heaven.
41 As, therefore, the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world, or the destruction of the wicked.
42 For in that day, before the Son of man shall come, he shall send forth his angels and messengers of heaven.
43 And they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them out among the wicked; and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Husqvarna has prepared this guide to help you find, identify and resolve the problems which you may encounter with diamond saw blades.
The majority of problems encountered arise from:
There is "undercutting" when the steel plate wears more rapidly than the diamond segment, particularly at the joint between the segments and the steel plate.
Does a blade need repairing? It is possible to replace two or three missing diamond segments providing the plate is not cracked or badly worn. If numerous segments are missing or if only 50% of the practical life of the blade remains, it may not be worthwhile repairing the diamond blade. Ensure there is no other mechanical or operational problem before replacing
the blade.
If the oval shape is not too exaggerated, return the blade to the factory for possible repairs.

The 2014 - 2016 College Catalog is available for downloading
via the PDF files below. The catalog has been subdivided into smaller PDFs for your convenience.
Select one or more to download and print, or select individual pages within a PDF.
The Seattle Colleges (Seattle Central College, North Seattle College and South Seattle College)
are state-supported public institutions accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities*, an institutional accrediting
body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. Each college is accredited individually;
Seattle Vocational Institute is accredited jointly with Seattle Central.
Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities indicates that it meets
or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited college or
university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is
substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity
is also addressed through accreditation.
Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such,
it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance
about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.
Inquiries regarding an institution's accredited status by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities should be directed to the
administrative staff of the institution. Individuals may also contact the commission.

Green for the 21st Century in Seattle
Innovations in curriculum and operations have earned the 2009 Green Washington Award for the Seattle Colleges
– Central, North and South. All three colleges are active members of the Seattle Climate Partnership and North was an
early signer of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. A district-wide Chancellor's
Sustainability Initiative provides energy, focus and a forum for emerging training and initiatives.
Sustainability is infused into programs ranging from urban agriculture at Central to environmental science,
real estate and building management across the district. Students have funded a sustainability coordinator.
Campus activities include reducing the carbon footprint and promoting recycling and energy conservation, which earned
a "Recycler of the Year" award for South. Last year, the college culinary operations diverted 31 tons of
materials to a regional composting facility – which returned the compost to "green" the college landscape.

Helping displaced workers to
'Start Next Quarter'
During the economic downturn, thousands of displaced workers turned to the Seattle Colleges at the same
time regional employers reported a need for skilled workers to fill jobs in the new economy. To help both potential
workers and employers, the Seattle Colleges developed Start Next Quarter (SNQ), a two-part initiative
designed to improve the success of dislocated workers who enroll in technical education programs. SNQ invites
prospective students to assess their eligibility for workforce funding online and connects them to a comprehensive
two-day college success workshop held at each campus. The workshops are based on a model developed at one of the
district campuses. Students who complete the workshop are more likely to complete their training programs and to
obtain jobs using their new skills. The project was developed in part through a grant from the League for Innovation,
funded by the Walmart Foundation Bright Futures project to serve displaced workers.
A Model for the Region
The Opportunity Center for Employment and Education at North Seattle College is a regional resource and
the first integrated service center of its kind in Washington state. Since the OCE&E opened its doors in spring 2011,
more than 40,000 people have come for one-stop help in finding a new job, career retraining or to sign up for public
assistance benefits. Founding partners were the state Departments of Social and Health Services and Employment
Security, the college, and the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County. The campus and the new LEED
Gold Certified 45,000-square foot facility are in the heart of Seattle's north end and close to a major transit hub.
House Speaker Frank Chopp and Rep. Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney (sponsor of the legislation and a former Seattle District trustee)
championed the OCE&E in the state legislature. The center aims to provide streamlined services in a positive environment,
helping clients succeed in the next stage of their lives.

An ordinance to appropriate funds for the purchase of the Joy Church property site on Charlie Daniels Park passed Monday.
The site had been discussed several times over the past few months for several different uses. Joy Church International will be moving to a new location on 27 acres near the corner of Lebanon Road and Benders Ferry Road.
It was first brought up as a possible extra recreation center and addition to Charlie Daniels Park, then as a possible new City Hall.
On Monday it was brought once again to the table with possible plans as a City Hall or Police Department.
The cost for the property would be $1.5 million, which would be paid in $300,000 increments over the next five years.
The commissioners chose to use the property for the Mt. Juliet Police Department. Mayor Ed Hagerty thought the City Hall should stay where it is.
"The City Hall should be on the main drag," said Hagerty.
Hagerty had some hesitation in the past about the Joy Church property, but was in favor of using it for the Police Department. He said he liked that it was near one of the problem areas in the community.
"Sounds like I got something I can vote for," said Hagerty.

|In response to Re: PVC glue
Thanks for the response. Where can I get such a drill and what is it called? Just for clarification, the drain for each fixture has only one or two turns but these are back to back bathrooms each with tub, toilet and sink. That is where the complicated pipe layout came in.
: There is no hope of ungluing the fitting. If there is adequate access, there are drills that will remove the piece of pipe from a fitting after the pipe is cut off. I might question the advisability of having a "complicated pipe layout" and using numerous elbows and fittings" for a drain. The idea is to keep it as simple as possible with as few turns as possible, two being the optimum number.
: : Is it possible to "unglue" PVC pipe? My husband worked out a complicated pipe layout for the upstairs baths with numerous elbows and fittings. The final fitting was to be glued by they guy putting up the sheetrock. He didn't get the angle right and it is leaking at the fitting he glued up. To cut this all out and start again will mean days lost on the project. If I can get that one connection lose we can get it together the way it was meant to be. Is there any hope?

The Board of Commissioners approved several big items in their Monday meeting.
They included traffic improvements in Providence, renovation to the new Police Department, dedicated money to a new fire station, a resolution to help move the development of Bel Air at Beckwith along, and the purchase of a new property on N. Mt. Juliet Road.
The traffic improvements included a few different traffic analysis studies, one of which included the readjusting of the 226B ramp and fix the one northbound lane problem that occasionally clogs up traffic.
City Manager Kenny Martin said this was the first step in the process to fix the problems from Belinda Parkway to the northbound lanes. He said the wish is to add a second right hand turn lane off of Belinda Parkway, which would make it necessary for two northbound lanes on N. Mt. Juliet Road, which would make it necessary to fix the traffic coming off of the ramp.
The measure passed 4-1 with Ray Justice voting against it. He felt the City shouldn't have to pay the $28,000 for these issues because TDOT is the one that caused the problem in the first place, and they should pay to fix it. Mt. Juliet will just do the submittal, but TDOT will eventually do the work.
"I'm not going to pay their [Mt. Juliet taxpayers] money to fix this mess up," said Justice.
Two items dealt with the new Police Station located on Charlie Daniels Parkway. The first was to improve the evidence room and locker room. Also on that item were ballistics vests and the mobile command post equipment. In another item, several improvements were proposed. They included putting bathrooms in the front of the building, painting the interior of the building, pulling and installing CAT wire, carpeting the courtroom, and do trim work for the courtroom, lobby area and Chief's office. The total amount was $125,000.
"This time I got to say no," said Commissioner Jim Bradshaw.
Bradshaw said that this is in addition to the $294,000 they had already approved for the renovation, and he has to stop it eventually.
"We all knew when we paid that amount, it was not ready to go," said Mayor Ed Hagerty, who supported the measure.
It eventually passed 4-1, with Bradshaw voting against it.
The City of Mt. Juliet recently sold eight acres on Pleasant Grove Road in the amount of $500,000, and a resolution was proposed to put that money toward a future fire station on Lebanon Road.
Hagerty suggested that be changed, because Fire Chief Erron Kinney preferred the current WEMA station behind City Hall for the second location because it would cover a larger area of the city than would one near the corner of Lebanon Road and Nonaville Road.
The commissioners decided to give $150,000 to renovate the WEMA station 3 behind City Hall, and the remaining $350,000 would go to make a principle payment on the new Police Station. A payment per year for the Police Station costs $300,000, so it would take care of a little more than a year payment. The city is paying $300,000 per year for four years for the property. The resolution passed 5-0.
A dispute over who provides waste water service for the Bel-Air at Beckwith project has stalled that development for several years now. Wilson County Water and Waste Water Authority claims that is there service area, but the City of Mt. Juliet claims it is there's. They ran a line to the area when it was annexed. City Manager Kenny Martin said that the Waste Water Authority has no customers in the area.
"There were two statutes that said the exact opposite thing on who is able to service an area," said City Attorney Gino Marchetti.
According to Marchetti, the Waste Water Authority was using a law that passed in 1995, but a later law in 2003, would give favor to the City of Mt. Juliet. Marchetti said State Representative Susan Lynn and State Senator Mae Beavers had been instrumental in moving this process along. The resolution, which states that the City would provide wastewater services to the area, would be sent to Wilson County Water and Wastewater Authority. It passed 5-0.
An ordinance to purchase a property on N. Mt. Juliet Road which is next to the old Sellars Funeral Home property, which the City owns. They had finished a land swap with Sellars Funeral Home last year for the property across the street, where Sellars is building now. The property would make the old property more attractive for a possible buyer. The ordinance passed 3-2 with Bradshaw and Justice voting against it.

Skip to comments.Jon Stewart: You know who was a war criminal ? Harry Truman
Posted on 04/29/2009 7:22:04 PM PDT by RobinMasters
Via Goldfarb, the key exchange comes at around 5:50. Hundreds of thousands of lives saved by averting a U.S. invasion of the Japanese home islands, and all this tool can do is point a finger and mumble yes in response to whether Trumans a war criminal or not. Behold the face of mindless anti-torture absolutism. Like what you see?
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
Just when you think he can't get any more idiotic:
Hey Jon
Go take a memory walk thru Bataan or Dachau and get back with us.
Does Stewart, in his limitless wisdom, know what Japan's Unit 731 did during the war?
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt
It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.
Theodore Roosevelt
Sadly the current Socialist in office would agree.
Even one of my presumably liberal professors said Turman made the right decision. The Japanese were prepared to fight to the last man. An invasion would have cost millions of lives on both sides.
The only crime Truman committed was relieving MacArthur.
I wonder if Stewart thinks FDR is war criminal material as well for OKing the firebombing of German cities? He'd squirm a bit on that one, I suspect.
I've been hearing this same Lefty Lamentation about Truman since I entered College in 1967.

Unit 731 - Research and Bump List. Gets Disturbing, Read at Your Own Risk
I don't have the stomach to watch. I suppose his audience cheered?
Other than an end to slavery, nazism, fascism and communism and the preservation of our liberty, war has never produced anything of value.
More proof that the effete fools on the left value their moral purity more than the lives of million of their countrymen. What a staggering level of conceit.
Well this is a complicated topic as Japan had surrendered before the bombs were dropped.
They did? I thought they refused to surrender even after the first bomb.
They offered a conditional surrender and were refused. They didn't accept unconditional surrender until after the bomb on Nagasaki. They may have or may not have been prepared to accept a conditional surrender or, just as likely, wanted to fish for additional concessions.
I despise this bastard and anyone that admires him.
Unless maybe you consider the revolutionary war which produced the USA.
And don't forget that the Japs slaughtered 100,000 Filipinos in early 1945 as they were leaving the Phlippines. The moronic Stewart probably knows nothing about the Manila Massacre.
Almost as many people died at Dresden as died from both nukes in Japan. But the left will never admit that.
I believe it could be said that they were "seeking terms", but our policy was of course, "unconditional surrender", and this is what they balked at even in the face of annihilation.
umm, it was meant as sarcasm. Pretty obvious sarcasm at that.
What channel is your show on John?
Ohh thats right, Comedy Central.
You got it. And also a staggering level of hypocrisy, considering most of these same people heartily approved of using whatever interrogation methods were necessary when emotions were running high in the months following 9/11/01. But after a few years of pathological Bush/Cheney-hatred nothing else mattered but punishing them. ....even if it meant compromising our national security.
I guarantee you that if a terrorist org ever succeeded in taking out any one of their favorite government Rat nannies these same hypocrites on the left would be calling for methods to be used on the terrorists in question that make waterboarding appear like a pleasure cruise by comparison.
Yeah, let's gloss over Dr. Veesenmayer's setting up of puppet regimes in other countries for take over.
By the way, one wonders what would the Soviets have done if World War II had continued after August 1945. Would they have tried to invade Hokkaido from Sakhalin Island, and eventually invade the Tohoku region of Honshu?
It does not matter whether Stewart and liberals like him are aware of all the atrocities committed by the Japanese, communists or whoever. They argue that for us to inflict harm on them would make us no better than them. He showed that liberals are prepared to sacrifice American lives on the altar of their moral beliefs. It's as if these liberals are stuck in moral adolescence, recalling the admonishment of their parents regarding the local bully that to strike 'Johnny' back after he hits you makes you no better than him. Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder.
Yeah, I know. So what?
Maybe you didn't see the sarcasm in my reply?
Stewart is a moron. If Truman could have ended the war by dropping two bombs, or three bombs, or no bombs, he should have done what was necessary.
(For the record, I personally don't think any of the above acts of war were war crimes).
Correct. They were justified.
Was FDR a war criminal by liberal logic? ...
Well FDR died April 12, 1945...but one month before under FDR...
THE FIREBOMBING Of Japan ..Start March 9 1945
On March 9, 334 B-29s took off from Guam, arriving in Japan under good weather conditions. The planes were stacked up from 4,900 ft. to 9,200 ft. They dropped one 500 pound cluster of fire bombs every 50 feet. The target area was 3 by 5 miles, containing a large industrial complex, however each square mile held over 100,000 civilians. The bombs fell, and within thirty minutes the resulting fires were out of control, driven by 40 mph winds. Tokyo, hit by strings of incendiaries, became a holocaust. Water boiled in the canals after the temperature reached over 1800 degrees F. For three hour the B-29s kept coming. Only a few fighters appeared causing little damage. We lost 14 planes with damage to 42. An official Japanese count reported nearly 84,000 killed, 41,000 injured, and over 250,000 buildings destroyed in this one raid. 16 square miles burned out. The Japanese called the raid "Slaughter bombing". LeMay was driving his crews to exhaustion, as he launched four more raids in the next eight days against Osaka, Kobe, and twice on Nagoya. In only five raids the B-29s wiped out 32 square miles in four major cities. The population of Tokyo dropped to half as panic stricken civilians fled. Washington was finally satisfied that fire bombing was the answer to crushing the Japanese , and sent LeMay a list of 33 additional Industrial targets, and gave the resupply of incendiaries to XXI Bomber Command the highest priority.
The bombing of Kobe was a little different. Napalm bombs were in short supply so 2,355 tons of magnesium thermite bombs were used. The thermite bombs burned with an intensity of 2300 degrees F. Three square miles were incinerated and substantial damage was done to the aircraft plant, dock area, and the Kawasaki shipyards which built submarines. The morale of the Japanese people hit bottom as industries were wiped out, and city populations dropped.
A lot of good people gave their lives so that oxygen wasters like this can procreate. A whole generation of them breeding and producing even more ignorant offspring.
Many who spent time in a Japanese concentration camp, after hearing about the atomic bombs, complained: "Why only two?"
Those bombs in the end, saved a hell of a lot more Japanese lives than American lives.
And we were lucky that Hirohito wasn't offed by Tojo and Crew, or else we probably would have had to drop a few more on them.
The Japs did not surrender before the nuke. Is that you John?
Save for later watching. It's bedtime for the old folks.
J. Stewart is just another f lib. JAFL. Truman was an artillary officer in WWI. Roosevelt was not in the military. The libs hate those that fight for this country. Fits the template.
This is just disgusting. Proof that the left is pro-fascist. Sick......
Its like Stewart Smalley(SNL) trying to do Professor Irwin Cory..
I wrote this in response to a paleconservatives article reflecting on the death of General Paul Tibbets.
A Counter Reflection on General Tibbets Death and the A Bomb
I read Chris Checks reflections on the death of BG Paul Tibbets with great interest. Most historians believe that Tibbets role in the atom bombing of Hiroshima was the precipitate cause of the conclusion of the greatest man made disaster in all of human history since the fall, the Second World War. Mr. Check expresses reservations as to the necessity of this action, indeed whether or not the theory, practice and technology of modern warfare allows any war to be prosecuted in accordance with just war theory. Mr. Check does not seem to fall into the camp of those historical revisionists who make suspect claims of an imminent Japanese surrender which negated the rationale for using the A-Bomb. Instead he offers a pointed criticism of the fact that the Bomb was even employed and a concomitant reappraisal of Gen. Tibbets role on that historic mission.
The vital works of the great philosophers Cicero, Aristotle, Augustine of Hippo, St. Thomas Aqinas, or Hugo Grotious attempted to codify the requirements for just war. These men spoke to the notion that any war, or acts performed pursuant to it, must conform to certain principles which would allow the waging of war within a synthesis of classical Greco-Roman, as well as Christian, values. Just war theory can be meaningfully divided into three parts, which in the literature are referred to, for the sake of convenience, in Latin. These parts are: 1) jus ad bellum, which concerns the justice of resorting to war in the first place; 2) jus in bello, which concerns the justice of conduct within war, after it has begun; and 3) jus post bellum, which concerns the justice of peace agreements and the termination phase of war. I wish to examine Mr. Checks premise concerning Gen Tibbets and the Hiroshima A Bomb. in light of all three of these just war considerations.
1. Jus ad bellum: The US was negotiating in good faith with Japanese diplomatic envoys for a peaceful resolution to the crisis occasioned by the Japanese occupation of French Indohina and FDRs subsequent oil embargo right up to the moment Japanese naval aircraft bombed Pearl Harbor. This despite US expectations of an imminent attack by Japan on the US sphere of influence, most notably the Phillipines. The deaths and wounding of almost 3600 Americans, and the destruction of 6 battleships, 3 destroyers, 3 cruisers, hundreds of aircraft and port facilities amply satisfied the justification for a recognition of the state of war existing between the US and Japan. President Roosevelts ringing speech to Congress requesting a declaration of war promised that the US would win through to inevitable triumph, so help us God. Germanys declaration of war on the US followed three days later. There is little doubt that the Jus ad bellum consideration was met.
2. Jus in bello: This aspect of the just war principle is the most problematic for those such as myself who defend the use of the A Bomb. It is an inherently monstrous act to use a weapon of the indiscriminate nature of the Hiroshima A Bomb on a target peopled largely by civillians, thereby violating the subsidiary rules of discrimination, porportionality, and minimum force. But we are not about to revert to conducting war with serried ranks of Phalanxes drawn up against each other with no civillians in sight. No side will yield the percieved advantage of technology. End justifies the means arguments are also singularly unpersuasive to me. Notwithstanding that we can acknowledge, for instance that a discussion of the abortion evil should allow for the admitttedly rare physical life of the mother exception. Commensurately an argument can be made for the unique qualities of the Second World War as an exception to the discrimination and minimum force rule if not the porportionality argument. Any study of this issue must include context. That context was total war against an unrelenting foe whose national character and policies contributed to a racially tinged (on both sides) struggle of the utmost savagery. The slaughter and barbarity of the Pacific war was enhanced by the Japanese refusal to contemplate the shameful reality of surrender no matter how hopeless the situation, and their near total disregard for the accepted conventions of legal conduct in war. I think that I can show that a greater evil would have been done by allowing the continuation of that war rather than to shock the Japanese people into an abrupt surrender by the use of nuclear weapons.
The invasion of Japan was in the offing. At the Potsdam Conference of 24 July 1945, the Allied position was that the Japanese forces would be disarmed Japanese sovereignty would be limited to the four main islands of Japan and such minor islands as we shall determine and respect for fundamental human rights would be established. The message ended with this: We call upon the Government of Japan to proclaim now the unconditional surrender of all the Japanese armed forces, and to provide proper and adequate assurances of their good faith in such action. The aternative for Japan is complete and utter destruction.
The implementation of these publically stated objectives required the complete defeat of Japan and its occupation. The militarists controlling Japan were determined to resist even unto the destruction of Japan. Prime Minister Suzuki Kantaro was willing to negotiate peace thru Switzerland or the Soviet Union, but War Minister Anami Korechika and the Chiefs of Staff Gen. Umeza Yoshijiro and Adm Toyoda Soemu insisted on prosecuting the war to the bitter end in order to uphold our national essence, protect the imperial land and (incredibly) achieve our goals of conquest. The Japanese correctly deduced the objectives of Operation Downfall, the proposed US invasion scheme which was divided into two phases, Olympic, the invasion of Kyushu and Coronet, the invasion of the main island of Honshu. Accordingly the Japanese prepared Operation Decision (Ketsu-Go) which envisaged the deployment of over 2 million troops along the coast to repel Allied landings, to be reinforced by four million armed forces civillian employees and a civillian militia of old people, school children of both sexes numbering 28 million. An invasion of Japan would have been D-day magnified a thousand times, it would have been Stalingrad from the sea. For instance, The 2nd Marine Division was slated to be in the initial assault. It no longer appears in the plans for Operation Olympic after D-Day + 4. The assumption is that it would have ceased to exist or be combat ineffective. Other units are similarly omitted.
An actual model exists for such speculation, the Battle for Okinowa. Pre invasion Okinowa was populated by 574,368 Okinowans.. Take a trip to Okinawa and visit Peace Prayer Park. Its easy to find. It is right next to the Suicide Cliffs just down the road a ways from the Japanese Naval Underground Headquarters. There you will see the names of 200,656 men women and children inscribed on black marble slabs who died on that island in the last battle of World War II. Those slabs reveal the following death toll: Japanese 188,136
From other prefectures (soldiers and civilian employees) 65,908
From Okinawa (soldiers and civilian employees) 28,228
From Okinawa (civilians fighting in battles) 56,861
From Okinawa (non-fighting civilians) 37,139
Americans 12,520
Following the battle there was not one thing on the island growing or man-made that was over 24 inches high. The entire population of the island was 574,368 and there were 4.72 artillery shells fired per person during the battle. The land war on Okinawa was soul destroying brutal as American soldiers and Marines doggedly attempted to break the ferocious Japanese resistance. Names like Sugar Loaf and Kakazu Ridge still invoke nightmarish memories from Okinawa veterans. The US Navy suffered the worst pounding in its history, with over 5000 sailors killed and 35 ships sunk by Kamikaze attack.
People extrapolate from 48,000 American and 230,000 Japanese casualties at Okinawa to 500,000 American and millions of Japanese casualties for mainland invasions. Those estimates could have vastly understated the actual causalities. Japans 374,000 mountainous square miles mathematically enables over 500 defensive redoubts comparable to General Ushijimas formidable Okinawa constructions such as those on the Shuri line that inflicted most Okinawa losses. The War Faction adopted the motto of 100 million Japanese deaths for planning final mainland battles. Besides kamikazes, redeployed Kwantung divisions, and bamboo spears for civilians, the allies faced biological warfare. Occupation searchers uncovered large stockpiles of viruses, spirochetes, and fungus spores throughout rural Japan. One delivery plan directed Japanese to infect themselves and then surrender. The Greatest Generation and their parents would have been enraged to discover a political cabal who satisfied their moral orthodoxy by condemning over 500,000 Americans who might otherwise have been saved.
Hiroshima was a target with military value. It was headquarters for the 2nd Japanese Army, charged with the defense of the southern island of Kyushu, the objective of Operation Olympic, whom the United States would have been fighting had the invasion commenced. It also had numerous factories producing military goods. The city was a communications center, a storage point, and an assembly area for troops. Both Command & Control and military production facilities are legitimate military targets.
Other consequences of other than a rapid end to the war were the slow starvation of the Japanese people. Their island nations food supplying merchant fleet was at the bottom of the Pacific, with 5 million tons of it put there by the extraordinarily successful American submarine campaign. In the summer of 1945 Field Marshal Terauchi had openly ordered prison camp commanders to slaughter the Allied prisoners in their control (who were dying at a 33% death rate) at the onset of the invasion. The brutal Japanese occupations of the conquered Asian nations were killing tens of thousands of civilians a month in China, Malaysia, Burma, Singapore, the Solomons, Thailand, and anywhere that the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere sent its soldiers, inflamed by the Japanese militarists corrupted code of Bushido to rape, pillage and kill without mercy. Millions of Asian civilians were killed and others in China served as guinea pigs for Unit 731s depraved medical experimentations into human vivisection, disease infestation and other atrocities more horrifying than the vilest of Josef Mengeles worst inspirations. Japanese scientists performed tests on prisoners centering on the plague, cholera, smallpox, botulism and other diseases. This research led to the development of the defoliation bacilli bomb and the flea bomb used to spread the bubonic plague. Some of these bombs were designed with ceramic (porcelain) shells, an idea proposed by Shiro Ishii in 1938.
These bombs enabled Japanese soldiers to launch biological attacks, infecting agriculture, reservoirs, wells and other areas with anthrax, plague-carrying fleas, typhoid, dysentery, cholera and other deadly pathogens.
Additionally, infected food supplies and clothing were dropped by planes into areas of China not occupied by Japanese forces. These activities continued until wars end.
The Japanese had concocted a plan to launch M6A1 Seiran floatplane bombers from their huge I-400 class subs to drop bombs loaded with biological agents such as plaque and Anthrax on the West Coast of the US. The ships had sailed with a target date of 15 August 1945. Only the end of the war on 14 August occasioned their recall before they reached landfall.
In the afternoon of August 14, Japanese radio announced that an Imperial Proclamation was soon to be made, accepting the terms of unconditional surrender drawn up at the Potsdam Conference. That proclamation had already been recorded by the emperor. The news did not go over well, as more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers stormed the Imperial Palace in an attempt to find the proclamation and prevent its being transmitted to the Allies. Soldiers still loyal to Emperor Hirohito repulsed the attackers.
That evening, General Anami, the member of the War Council most adamant against surrender, committed suicide. His reason: to atone for the Japanese armys defeat, and to be spared having to hear his emperor speak the words of surrender.
Foreign minister Shidehara wrote, If we continue to fight back bravely, even if hundreds of thousands of noncombatants are killed... there would be room to produce a more favorable international situation for Japan.
Due to the nationwide food shortage... - it will be necessary to kill all of the infirm old people, the very young, and the sick.
Admiral Onishi: If we are prepared to sacrifice 20 million Japanese lives in kamikaze effort, victory will be ours.
With luck, we will repulse the invaders before they land. - General Yoshijiro Umezu
Who can be 100% sure of defeat? - War minister General Anami
All said in the August 9th meeting of the 6 man Supreme Council for the Direction of the War held in Tokyo. I would ask that you carefully consider the date as you ponder the Japanese willingness to surrender.
Another item for your consideration: The bomb also stopped Soviet expansion in Asia. The U.S.S.R. declared war on Japan on August 8 and if the war had continued the U.S.S.R. would have invaded and occupied large parts of northern China and northern Japan. The U.S.S.R would have had a presence in the Far East as in Eastern Europe.
As it was, the Soviets occupied North Korea and set up a Stalinist regime that troubles the world to this day. Imagine the Soviets with a Stalinist puppet government in Northern Japan. You dont have to wonder, you have the examples of East Germany, or North Korea, as opposed to West Germany and South Korea.
This certainly cannot be attributed to the foresight of the Allies, as the Soviets entered the war against Japan in response to the Allies importuning Stalin at Yalta. It was about the only commitment he kept, since he saw an opportunity for territorial aggrandizement. But it is an admittedly unforeseen and fortunate subsidiary result of the rapid end of the war.
The world was spared the future horror of nuclear combat thru the instructive example of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Had the wartime use of nuclear weapons remained theoretical, rather than concretely manifest in the vaporized victims of World War II, it is far more likely that they would have been used in super power showdowns at the Berlin Wall or the Cuban Missile Crisis. The example of the relative firecrackers of the WWII A-bombs may have stayed the fingers on the thermonuclear button. The planners of the Manhattan Project did not consider this , but it is something worthy of our consideration.
The exceptionally brutal nature of the war against Japan requires that the jus en bello aspect of just war theory be considered in light of the extraordinary evils that were stopped or prevented by a sudden end to the war, bought about by the A Bomb. The Japanese could view it as a force of nature against which they were helpless to resist, and therefore serve as a legitimate rationale for surrender for a people that viewed that as an absolute disgrace. At the very least, the proportionality rule seems to be honored by using a horrendous method for the purpose of forcing an end to the war and stopping even greater continued slaughter and atrocity.
3, Jus post bello: Despite the unremitting nature of the total war against Japan and the unparallelled level of atrocities committed by Japan, it was not transformed into a post Punic Wars Carthage. The US extended its protections to her against the Soviet Union, demilitarized her, helped it to create a classically liberal representative democracy, with the emperor Hirohito demoted from demigod status. The US was instrumental in elevating Japan into a rehabilitated and respected player on the world stage, a leader in technological innovation and manufacture and a reliable ally against Soviet expansion in the Pacific. Even though considerable US self interest was involved, the US occupation of Japan was conducted with a magnanimity uncharacteristic of the likely aftermath of one of the most savage conflicts in human history. Even though the Japanese surrendered unconditionally, utterly defeated; they are a better world partner for the effect of the generous American peace terms and post war assistance. The Jus post bello criteria was more that adequately satisfied by the exemplary American post war treatment of Japan.
Finally, a word about Gen Tibbets. Before his service in the Pacific, Gen. Tibbets served with the 97th Bomb Group of the 8th Air Force. The 97th BG served as the model for the famous movie Twelve O Clock High. Tibbets, as a Major left in charge of the Group, was even depicted in the movie. Armstrong, the new CO of the 97th, appointed Tibbets his XO. He flew a B-17 bomber on 25 combat missions in the most deadly environment that American airmen have ever flown in, the flak and fighter filled skies of the European Theatre of Operations. He later took command of the 509th Composite Bomb Group, the B-29 outfit charged to deliver the atomic bombs. He bought the unit to a peak of efficiency and operational security, vital to maintaining the secrecy of the most important military technological development of the war. He stayed in the Air Force, and participated in the development of the B-47, our first all-jet bomber. In the early 1950s, he flew B-47s for three years. He advised on the making of the movie Above and Beyond, and was pleased that the famous actor, Robert Taylor, played him. From the 1950s through the 1960s he had a number of overseas assignments, including France and India. After his retirement from the Air Force, he became president of Executive Jet Aviation in Columbus, Ohio. For this he has earned the eternal respect and gratitude of his nation. He has not chosen to engage in post modern self flagellation and wear the hair shirt of eternal regret for doing his duty as it was presented to him. He has chosen to accept as his legacy the war ended and the lives saved by his actions rather than fixating on the awful human cost of the bombing. He had earned that right a hundred times over. He has said that he does not want a marker on his grave lest it serve as a focal point for demonstrators. That is the only thing that I disagree with him about. He deserves the honor of a proper memorial so that it may be rendered honors on appropriate occasions. Godspeed to you sir. You served your country and the world well.

The NHL's initial proposal
Cam Charron
July 16 2012 06:18AM
The only thing we have to fear is Fehr himself
There's already some absurdist alarmist sentiment when dealing with the NHL's initial proposal to the NHLPA, details of which were leaked Friday night.
The good news for hockey fans is that, unlike the lockout of 2004-05, the NHL's one major demand, a salary cap, was considered a non-starter for the PA. The season was missed, the PA suffered some leadership changes, and they reluctantly agreed to a deal that was a clear winner for the league at the time.
Fast-forward seven years, and the real big issue is how to split a $3 billion pie.
That's not necessarily the only issue. According to Renaud Lavoie of RDS, the nuts of the deal involved:
- A decrease in the overall share of hockey-related revenue (HRR) for players to 46%. Currently 57%, if there is over $2.7 billion of HRR.
- An increase in the number of years a player must play in the NHL prior to being eligible for unrestricted free agency to 10. Currently seven.
- Contracts limited to five years. Currently no maximum.
- Elimination of salary arbitration. Currently an option for both players and teams.
- An increase in the length of entry-level deals to five years. Currently it's three for players below the age of 21.
Obviously, these are starters in negotiations. The PA will work out a counter-proposal of similarly outrageous expectations and not expect that deal to be accepted. Not every deal is accepted on first blush. Not every negotiating opponent is Kevin Cheveldayoff.
The NHL, in my mind, has left a number of possible concessions on the table. Obviously, the rule changes on entry-level deals and unrestricted free agents grossly tilt the needle in favour of teams who wind up in the draft lottery every season. Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle, for example, become restricted free agents at the end of this upcoming season, a year that they could possibly get a pretty sizeable pay-day rather than the bargain entry-level deals they're on right now.
Another card the NHL has up its sleeve is the right for the players to play in Sochi 2014.
I started with wrong max, so (($70.3 - 8)x 30 / 0.57 x0.46 ) / 30+ 4 = new cap per proposal— pb (@petbugs13) July 14, 2012
For practical purposes, the salary cap is at $70.3 million this season, which assumes a certain amount of HRR. Nations crack graphic comments and math geek petbugs13 estimated that the NHL's proposal would bring the "new" salary cap of $54.2 million, although Larry Brooks of the New York Post estimates a lower salary cap thanks to the NHL's re-definition of what is considered hockey-related revenue:
This $52.5 million off a "midpoint" of $48.5 million is the result of a calculation based on the ramifications of slashing the players' share of the gross to 46 percent from the current 57 percent, coupled with the redefinition of Hockey Related Revenue with the express written intent of dramatically reducing the amount in the pool.
Hockey-related revenue is anything from merchandise sales to gate receipts to parking to signage, although they'll want to clarify that as there has been some bickering in the past about what is considered "HRR".
What does this all mean?
Well, I hate to say it, but the NHL season probably won't start on time, simply because there is no urgency for the league. The first few months of the NHL season are apparently not where the NHL makes its money.
The NBA had its lockout halted when a collective bargaining agreement was signed in time for the NBA's first real cash cow on the season: the Christmas Day games. The NHL has placed a similar importance on its Winter Classic game on New Year's Day.
The educated guess is that an agreement will be signed at some point between the scheduled start of the season in October and the January 1 game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Detroit Red Wings.
I'm confident we'll be able to see Mikhail Grabovski's excellent two-way play between now and a year from now, but maybe a bit later than anticipated.
Obviously the Bettman and the owners are asking for the Sun and the Moon to start negotiations. Here is how it will ultimately workout:
50-50 split of HRR with no chage to criteria of HRR Entry level contracts of five years with increased salary Maximums Arbitration unchanged Free Agency after 8 years 5 year maximum for guaranteed contracts plus 3 years Max. of player/club options. And no front or back loading of contracts. Signing bonus not to exceed annual salary of the contract. Modest Revenue sharing criteria established

Let the golf games begin?
Robin Brownlee
March 21 2008 08:53AM
And on the first full day of spring, golf season arrived for the Edmonton Oilers... OK, so as not to be a nattering nabob of negativity and for argument's sake, let's say the Edmonton Oilers aren't done, finished and over after a 4-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.
They are, however, out of options where their faint playoff hopes are concerned. Forget the final two chapters of the Battle of Alberta with Calgary, seven points up in the standings. Even with a sweep, they won't catch the Flames. The Canucks are gonzo, too.
Colorado, 2-1 losers in the City of Cattle Thursday and five points up with seven games to play, is the only option remaining if the Oilers are to avoid missing the playoffs for the second straight season.
"We take focus on another team in here on Saturday," coach Craig MacTavish said. "Colorado gets beat down in Calgary, Nashville gets beat, so it's not as good a scenario as what we would have hoped and had in our power to create, but didn't."
The Avs come calling at Rexall Place for a Saturday matinee and the teams meet again next Friday in Denver. The Oilers need a sweep, and at least four wins in their other five games, or they'll have to endure the indignity of another early garbage bag day and playing on temporary greens.
That's a tall order given the 10–2 roll that died on Roberto Luongo's doorstep. Faint hope is better than none at all, but after playing their butts off for a month and scratching back into contention, Thursday was a kick in the groin—a loss that will take the starch out of the kids and make the veterans feel old. The drain of squeezing a double-digit deficit down to five points with next-to-no margin for error, then coming up short, will do that.
"There's definitely a Plan B," insists MacTavish. "There's another scenario. Now, we get the opportunity. We've got to sweep somebody. Now, we take focus on Colorado.
"We try to get them in here on Saturday and beat them and then play well enough to give ourselves another opportunity when we go down to Colorado."
So, one last push. For all the resilience and refusal to quit this team has shown, I wouldn't be surprised if the grind of the stretch, of a month spent skating uphill, hits home against the Avs.
Those of us who wrote the Oilers off weeks ago were mistaken. That's a testament to the exuberance of kids like Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano and Robert Nilsson and the tenacious will of veterans like Steve Staios, Fernando Pisani and Ales Hemsky. But now?
Spring is here. No mulligan.
Wins the Oilers had to have but don't:
- Oct. 27: 4-1 loss in Los Angeles.
- Dec. 7: 4-3 loss to St. Louis.
- Jan. 15: 3-1 loss to Los Angeles.
- Jan. 22: 4-3 loss in Tampa Bay.
- March 4: 5-1 loss to Nashville.
—Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5pm on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer on Team 1260.
Three games ago we were all on the edges of our seats, and evryone said regardless of the next ten, nothing could take away how excited we were for this new team. Look at the teams around us. The Shames and the CaSucks will all be losing role players in their line ups this summer... By the time the other teams can catch up to young talent, we willalready be a playoff team. Look at the best players in our division. When they were rookies were they half as exciting as any member of the kid line? We're a good team with a GREAT future. These next 9 games are OUR playoffs. Instead of thinking about golfing in two weeks, lets think about playoffs fora lotofyearsto come.
That's the third "nattering nabob of negativity" on the Oilogosphere in 20 hours. Who says that blogs are echo chambers?
Tyler: Bloody bloggers have been stealing my stuff for years.
Balderdash, the Oilers can still lose one more game this season and still have an over 60% of making the playoffs.
Tyler: I have something for you that you can let echo around for a bit till it sinks in:
If you don't like it here, beat it. I love this site and won't have it run down by some nerd like you
Romo: Easy. Let Tyler have his say. It's a fair observation. I didn't take this as a shot, why would you?
It wasn't a shot, as Robin correctly sussed out. Just struck me as funny. I was one of the three; it was rattling around my head after seeing a commenter at <a href="http://coveredinoil.blogspot.comCovered In Oil use it. That Safire bastard has a way with words.
As for this site, it's an interesting beast. It hasn't been my cup of tea, up until they added Brownlee. I hope that the business works out for the owners (by the way Romo - are you one of them? I had some emails from the one guy, and your wording strikes me as familiar).
Adding some content other than the rah-rah fansite silliness was probably a good move; I'm guessing from the dearth of comments that readership hasn't been great up until now. It's always tough to find that balance between content and advertising. Hopefully it works out for the guys who run this site and Robin too.
March 22 2008, 09:47AM
No Tyler, that was me who emailed you back in October.
I'm glad you're liking the content lately. We struggled to figure out what would really resonate with readers (beyond just the writers in the blogosphere). Our next steps are to rejig the site a bit to make it do some of the things it should already do (like RSS and "digg" type features as well).
Keep reading! I'm still reading you. ;)

The coloured ink and gouache, and the associated black ink study, are examples of Jackson Pollock's early drawings, created before the recognition of him as an artist that followed his first solo exhibition in 1943. Both drawings reveal a complex combination of historical, aesthetic and psychological influences. By the late 1930s Pollock had made a deliberate break from the Regionalism of Thomas Benton, and was working for the Works Progress Administration.[1] Simultaneously, his growing interest in both the techniques and subject matter of Surrealism, combined with the psychological theories of Carl Jung, resulted in a creative outpouring: between 1938 and 1943, Pollock produced numerous pictographic drawings based on striking symbolic motifs.
The coloured study reveals the influence of the Mexican muralists David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera, all of whom were active in New York during the 1930s.[2] By dividing the composition into four separate sections, Pollock's study can be interpreted as a loose narrative presented across an elongated format, not dissimilar to the Mexican murals being created in New York at the time. Whilst the style of the drawing—comprising of blockish forms, each of which is defined by a linear black outline—echoes the street-style of Mexican political murals, we can also detect the iconographic influence of African, Oceanic, Melanesian and Native American Indian art.
A number of European Surrealists had fled to New York at the outbreak of the Second World War. Their presence had an enormous impact on the first generation of Abstract Expressionists, many of whom adopted Surrealist ideas and techniques, including an interest in Jungian theory and automatic drawing. At the same time, Pollock read, and was immediately struck by, the theories of John D. Graham. In his influential essay, 'Primitive art and Picasso', Graham explored the potent connection between indigenous art and modern abstraction in terms of the Jungian collective unconscious.[3] Pollock was to form a close relationship with the writer, and his collection of African, Oceanic and Melanesian objects was an immediate source of inspiration for the younger artist. Both of Pollock's drawings include numerous totemic figures, recurring masks, forms of animism, lightning motifs and linear patterning that are directly influenced by such sources.
The drawings also display special meaning in terms of Jungian psychology. At the time of their production, Pollock was undergoing treatment for his alcoholism and, through his drawings, seeking a deeper understanding of his personal and psychological problems. Using Jungian theory to decipher Pollock's drawings, the artist's treating psychologist, Joseph Henderson, made special mention of the recurring motif of the 'humanoid form with extended arms'—present on the far left of the coloured study and again as the central, cross-legged pictogram in the black ink study—as a visual referent connected with a 'longing for the all-giving mother'.[4] Furthermore, the use of red, blue and yellow in the coloured study can be interpreted along Jungian lines as representing a number of identified human functions: intuition, thinking, sensing and emotion.

Just to make sure I'm thinking correctly, you are talking about the Sleepaway Camp movie series that began in 1983 till the most recent one in 2008?
Theme: SleepAway Camp
Final Room- Looking to create a "production" to leave guests talking and scare the crap out of them. We have dont the dark rooms, execution chamber etc. Sleep Away Camp theme we were thinking nurse theme but what will give that "Final effect? Thanks
Just to make sure I'm thinking correctly, you are talking about the Sleepaway Camp movie series that began in 1983 till the most recent one in 2008?
No we aren't basing it on any movie we are making our own sleep away camp Haunt. ideas, possibilities are endless, We have a ton of woods, corn maze and 2 Haunted Houses.
The final Haunted House which is a 20x20 room we are trying to have a show stopper night to remember. We were thinking of a detention discipline area for bad campers just trying to think how to make it scary
I have had this question as well - what is the single-most scariest ending that could be done in a haunt?
Too often a haunted house just ends. There might be a boring chainsaw, but for the most part it does not feel like a real showstopper. We have had the problem of a strong opening, a great middle, then a poor or boring ending as if the ideas just whizzed away the further down the trail you went. In many ways we've found our thinking to be linear: we imagine the queue-line and entrance and major scenes, but don't always have a decent way to end things with a bang.
Any ideas?
The thing that got me the most comments was a room I did several years ago and am bringing it back this year. I have the last room EXACTLY the same as the first room (same entrance, props, actors that look alike, exit everything)...You should see the look on peoples faces when they walk in... You have to make the first room very memorable and I had an actor actually interacting with the people as they came in to make sure they looked around and took notice. It also helps if you have it look a little different than the rest of the haunt.
The best reaction was at the end of the night there were four 21-ish college guys coming through. All of the actors were following them out (although they didnt know it) and when they walked into the room they were frozen in the corner as we all walked in. One of the actors piped up and said...haha were just messing with you, you went the wrong way. He then proceeded to walk them back a few rooms and left them there alone with nothing going on... LOLOL should should of seen them when they finally walked back into the last room. I seriously thought one of them was going to start crying. We all then just walked out without saying a word and they "sort of" followed us out. After they walked out 1 of them was PISSED (the one that was about to cry)... I think he finally figured out that they were not going to die.. The other 3 couldn't stop laughing at him. But the consensus was that it was the cruelest thing anyone had done to them and they also thought it was the best scare they had ever had done to them. (Im in SoCal and have to compete with Knott's, the Queen Mary, and Universal Studios...so I got some competition)
sounds interesting but no scare?
I like it alot do you have a photo of the room.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very large, well located and clean the house.
At first it seems a bit deslabazada, when you go and you get used and the truth that you're feeling better, the girls who have treated us very well and correct.
The good unless you have to climb stairs especially with suitcases.
La casa muy amplia, bien ubicada y limpia.
Al principio parece un poco deslabazada, cuando te vas ya te has acostumbrado y la verdad que te encuentras mejor, las chicas que nos han atendido muy bien y correctas.
Lo menos bueno que hay que subir escaleras sobre todo con maletas.
I am very dissatisfied with the accommodations. Not worth what you pay for. The apartment is in a basement, with high humidity and a bad entry. towels and sheets have washed hundreds of times and should not be used more. the walls are dirty. A stay to forget. It is not a comfortable apartment as it says in the ad.
Estoy muy insatisfecho con el alojamiento. No vale lo que se paga por el. El apartamento está en un semisótano, con mucha humedad y con una entrada pésima. las toallas y las sábanas las han lavado ciento de veces y no debían de ser utilizadas mas. las paredes están sucias. Una estancia para olvidar. No se trata de un cómodo apartamento como dice en la publicidad.
Very spacious apartment, ideal for two couples. Apartment faithful to the photos, see + great in real life. The kitchen and large living room can eat in the apartment. The person who greeted us was friendly, but did not speak a word of French or English ... My Spanish is weak.
Appartement très spacieux, idéal pour 2 couples. Appartement fidèle aux photos, voir + grand en vrai. La cuisine et le grand séjour permettent de manger dans l'appartement.
La personne qui nous a accueillis est sympathique, mais ne parle pas un mot de français ni d'anglais... Mon espagnol étant plutôt faible.
Nice apt., plenty of space. Not always enough hot water. Good location.
Central location. A bit dark and cool apartment - but huge - in fact 27 m long. Could well heated with electric heaters, when set equal to that which would on heating even if there was more than 20 degrees outside. Good beds, but if you want to stay for 4 people, so it must be 2 couples or possibly. Couples with young children. We were happy as two friends that we had each bed. SmaI of a double bed and being with a large blanket. Everything about the acquisition and instructions went well.
Central beliggenhed. Lidt mørk og kølig lejlighed - men kæmpestor - faktisk 27 m lang. Kunne fint varmes op med elradiatorer, når man lige indstillede sig på, at der skulle varme på selv om der var over 20 grader udenfor.
Gode senge, men hvis der skal bo 4 personer, så skal det være 2 par eller evt. Par med mindre børn. Vi var glade for som to venner, at vi havde hver sin seng. Smal af en dobbeltseng at være og med en stor dyne.
Alt omkring overtagelse og instruktioner forløb fint.
This is a really well-located apartment for a city break in Madrid. Convenient for the major galleries but also a wide choice of good restaurants and bars nearby.Apartment is spacious and quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
The apartment is in a very good central location and well within walking distance to everything, the metro station is just around the corner, the apartment was clean and very original, all was well. WiFi was in the back room not so good reception, as the predecessors have said, the water pipes in the house are a bit noisy (a whistle when someone turns on the water). But generally very satisfied
Die Wohnung ist in sehr gute zentrale Lage und sehr gut alles zu Fuss erreichbar, die Metrostation ist gleich um die Ecke, die Wohnung war sauber und ist sehr originell, alles war gut ausgestattet. WiFi hatte bei den hinteren Zimmer nicht so guter empfang, Wie die vorgänger schon gesagt haben, die Wasserleitungen sind im Hause etwas lärmig (ein pfeiffen wenn jemand das Wasser zu dreht) aber im allgemeinen sehr zufrieden.
Nice, clean, friendly apartment. In a pleasant neighborhood.
Loved staying here!
Pros Very good location, spacious apartment, clean., low price.
Cons: VERY limited amount of hot water, poor lighting, extremely loud plumbing in building, only two narrow and low quality beds, low quality furniture, limited supplies (1/2 roll of toilet paper, 8 matches to light stove, metal coffee maker with no handles), no oven, no clothes dryer (contrary to listing).
The flat is really well located. A bit dark but perfect in hot weather (keeps cool). So nice to be able to relax there between excursions in the city. Great restaurants right at the door step as well as the terrific movie theatre showing old films. (Filmoteca) Thank you!

What will the future look like when we can print our own parts for everything?
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
I'm intrigued by the rise of low-cost 3D printers and this is definitely the trajectory of things to come. I can picture a world when we can print any part we need so I wonder if there are already books are articles on the implications of this next wave? How might society adapt and change as a result of instant access to tools, parts, and designs without ever having to set foot in a store or waiting for things to arrive? What are the career opportunities that will open up and what are the jobs that will be lost as a result of this sea change?0

Although I'm not crazy about him as a character,I have to give it to him!
Danzou has been one of the real logical progression in interesting story left.
He values the village above everything else. He doesn't care about Sasuke, Doesn't care about Pain and his 'true' identity, Doesn't care about Madara's 'true' power. He's obviously thinks the best way to defeat Pain doesn't involve Naruto.
Most likely, he has some kind of strategy to use against Pain that involves some of the Root members. He was the man that competed with the third for the position of Hokage so he must have been pretty powerful and probebly was tactically sound. I knew that Danzou had something good up his sleeve especially since he tried to give Orochimaru all info on regular Anbu.
I think many of the readers would expect him to be evil or betray Konoha big time, but I strongly doubt it. He obviously didn't forget what happen 15-16 years ago when the Kyubi attacked Konoha and he isn't confident that Naruto will be able to keep the Kyubi quiet and calm.
Believe it or not, Danzou being sneaky bastard is needed, because of that joke of a Hokage.
Tsunade that have no reason been an hokage in the first place making a decision base on her emotion. She should know now is not the time to try to do 'the right thing'. How thoughtless she can be, to think Naruto can take on Pain right. Of all people, she should know that Pain is not a joke, he defeated Jiraiya, the second strongest of the Sannins and her former Teammate.
I also think it's hypocritical to say that what Itachi did (Killing off 100 to save 1000) is right and to say that what Danzou is doing is wrong.
Besides, that f*cking frog had it coming, with that ugly expression!
Danzou's final goal is currently unknown, we can't assume that he wants Konoha to fall, just because of his approach to treat the entire village like tools. IMO!
Also, Tsunade's disrespectful act towards the elders was so NOT wise!
Now they'll act on their own behind her back, and most likely be on Danzou's side. So it would only make easier for Danzou to go further with his ulterior motives as I would assume.
Why els would he prevent Naruto from coming back. Your village is getting destroyed and to dangle Akatsuki's "holy grail" right in front of them isn't very smart. If Naruto was captured then you would be at a severe disadvantage... your village just got annihilated, countless ninja's were killed, and now, you're hastily forced into an unknown conflict.
You have to take more things into account then personal ambitions/feelings which Tsunade clearly was unable to. People need to understand Danzou's position, Tsunade has little respect for him and she despises him, so do the rest of the village, while this man has been standing behind Konoha in so many years. He was in the shadow of people like Sarutobi and Minato. He deserves all the respect.
Spoiler!PS: I don't support the killing of a defenseless animal(amphibian) I was just kidding, lol
