A drop in selling prices coupled with higher inventory levels contributed to a decrease in fourth-quarter sales and a net loss for Seneca Foods Corp.
The Marion, Wayne County-based firm reported after markets closed Thursday a net loss of $1.9 million, or 15 cents a diluted share, compared with a profit of $6.3 million, or 51 cents a diluted share, a year ago. Sales dropped by 9.4 percent to $253 million.
"The lower sales in the fourth quarter come from a combination of lower selling prices and a later Easter, which delayed holiday sales into April," said Kraig Kayser, president and CEO, in a statement. "The loss in the quarter was due to the continuing impact on margins of the inventory overhang in the market as the company promoted heavily to move excess product.
"While we are making progress in getting our inventories in line with historic norms, it will take some time to get margins back to improved levels, especially in our fruit business where the oversupply situation has been particularly dramatic."
For the fiscal year, Seneca Foods reported net income of $17.7 million, or $1.45 a diluted share, down 63.5 percent from net income of $48.4 million, or $3.96 a diluted share, the previous year. Sales fell nearly 7 percent to $1.19 billion.

Angels' Hunter wins ninth Gold Glove awardNovember 10th, 2009, 12:50 pm by Earl Bloom, staff writer
Angels center fielder Torii Hunter has won his ninth consecutive American League Gold Glove, matching Seattle Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki on the team announced Tuesday.
They were joined in the outfield by one of the three newcomers on the AL team, Baltimore's Adam Jones. The other first-timers were Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle.
The rest of the squad has a more familiar look: Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer; New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira and shortstop Derek Jeter; and Detroit second baseman Placido Polanco.
The Gold Glove is Hunter's second in as many seasons in Anaheim, continuing a long tradition of Gold-Glove Angels center fielders.
The other Angels center fielders honored were: Ken Berry (1972), Rick Miller (1978), Gary Pettis (1985-86), Devon White (1988-89), Jim Edmonds (1997-98) and Darin Erstad (2000, 2002).Read the rest of this entry »

Trying to summarize our Jelly Belly selection is like trying to summarize Disney World. It's a tall task because Jelly Belly makes dozens of flavors of Jelly Belly jelly beans. If you thought you'd tried them all, you might want to take a closer look at the list here; we bet you'll find some surprises. Have you tried them in Champagne Bubbles yet? How about French Burnt Peanuts? Pomegranate?
In business since the late 1800's, the company now known as Jelly Belly got its beginning by making candy corn and didn't start making their famous gourmet jelly beans until 1960. Jelly Belly continues to make tempting confections besides jelly beans, bringing us Jordan Almonds, Jelly Bean Chocolate Dips, Cinnamon Bears, Gummi Bears and Gummi Worms, a Jelly Belly Pet Gator, and more (really, there's more).
We have sorted our Jelly Belly selection into different categories below to make shopping easy. We have Jelly Belly Bulk Candy, which is where we list all of the Jelly Belly products besides their famous jelly beans, Jelly Belly Bags, Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips, and Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, where you will find the mother load of all their different flavors.

By LOU SANSEVEROFerron
What happened in Connecticut was evil, horrible, and monstrous but blaming firearm ownership, high capacity magazines, or assault weapons for the tragedy makes as much sense as blaming a fork or food for obesity. It is true that, if there were no firearms these children (and adults) would not have been shot but would it have made any real difference if this evil malignancy disguised as a human being used a baseball bat to bludgeon his victims to death? Would we now be calling for a new, national "debate" on anti-baseball bat legislation as the liberal-left, anti-gun advocates, progressives, and anti-constitutionalists are calling for over gun control? Before you answer, let's getting something straight, there will be no "discussions" nor "debates". When these groups cynically use these terms what they are actually saying is that they are going to put on a public theater to placate the unthinking masses but the bottom line is that they are going to erode or take away yet another of your constitutional rights. If the American people allow this farce to be played out according to their script then this generation will have presided over the demise of the American Republic and the constitution.
Just as the first amendment is the voice and soul of the Constitution it is the second amendment that is its teeth. The framers of the constitution and the architects of our federalist system had a deep and abiding distrust of central national governments, even to that central national government that they had so carefully crafted as to avoid the pitfalls common to all previous forms of government. It was their intent to provide the people eternally and irrevocably with an uninfringeable last resort to resist any despotic attempts to destroy the Republic and nullify the Constitution. Did the founding architects mean without limits when they penned "shall not be infringed."? I don't know, but I believe that when they penned "the right of the people to keep and bear arms," they didn't contemplate individuals owning personal cannons but were referencing personal small arms of the highest technology contemporary with the "people" as is testified by a roughly contemporary, and second amendment supporting document, the Militia Acts of 1792. The Acts required ". . . That every citizen . . . . provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than 24 cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of power and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, 20 balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder"; the "rifle" was the assault weapon of the 18th century. If and when we actually discuss the second amendment, and contemplated limitation on it, that discussion must be framed within the context of these facts and the history of events leading up to the ratification of the second amendment and the adoption of the Acts devoid of transient emotions of the present moment.
Should the people be permitted to possess nuclear weapons, tanks, or rocket launchers today? In my opinion, "No!" but beyond those logical and credible limitations I don't think that the people should be denied the most technically advanced small arms available to them as were indicated in the Acts of 1792. In the words of President Obama "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.". I would give you that "civilian national security force" is today, as it has been for more than the 237 years of this nation's existence, the people themselves; well armed and well schooled in the use of arms with the moral strength to discern when the resort of arms is necessary.
In my view the problem today is not with the "proliferation" of firearms among the people, nor the types of firearms, nor with the capacity of magazines for those arms but is with the loss of this nation's moral compass as a result of a drastic shift to the liberal left, the abandonment of personal responsibility, and the adoption of a state religion of secularism which expelled God from the national conscience. During the coverage of the Connecticut tragedy I heard one "talking head" ask "How can a loving God allow something like this?". What a ridiculous statement. "You've banned God from our schools, from our courts, from our seats of government and confounded morality in our daily lives and yet you seek to blame God for such a tragedy" If God deemed to answer I think He would probably say "I would have helped but I wasn't allowed in your schools.". If we are to have a serious "debate" on the causes of tragedies like the one in Connecticut this is where the debate must begin with a discussion of the loss of traditional American values not with the kind of firearm used nor the capacity of a magazine.
If however the "debate" is forced to the left then we need to look to King Leonidas of ancient Sparta. When King Leonidas and the 500 Spartans were confronted by the demands of an overwhelming force of Persians to surrender their weapons at the battle of Thermopylae, and when surrender would have been the easy course, they responded "Molon Labe". . . "Come and take them". Perhaps in this "debate" over the fate of our second amendment rights we too should adopt this motto as our response, Molon Labe . . . "Come and take them!" not as a challenge but as a counterpoint to "Surrender your rights".

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Treatment for type 1 diabetes is a lifelong commitment of blood sugar monitoring, insulin, healthy eating and regular exercise — even for kids. And as your child grows and changes, so will his or her diabetes treatment plan. Over the years, your child may need different doses or types of insulin, a new meal plan, or other treatment changes.
If managing your child's diabetes seems overwhelming, take it one day at a time. Some days you'll manage your child's blood sugar perfectly. Other days, it may seem as if nothing works well. Don't forget that you're not alone.
You'll work closely with your child's diabetes treatment team — doctor, diabetes educator and registered dietitian — to keep your child's blood sugar level as close to normal as possible.
Depending on what type of insulin therapy your child needs, you may need to check and record your child's blood sugar at least four times a day but probably more often. This requires frequent finger sticks.
Some blood glucose meters allow for testing at other sites. Frequent testing is the only way to make sure that your child's blood sugar level remains within his or her target range — which may change as your child grows and changes. Your child's doctor will let you know what your child's blood sugar target range is.
Your doctor may ask you to keep a log of the blood glucose readings, or he or she may download that information from the blood glucose meter.
CGM is the newest way to monitor blood sugar levels and may be most helpful for people who have developed hypoglycemia unawareness. CGM attaches to the body using a fine needle just under the skin that checks blood glucose level every few minutes.
CGM isn't yet considered as accurate as standard blood sugar monitoring, so it's not considered a replacement method for keeping track of blood sugar but is used as an additional tool.
Anyone who has type 1 diabetes needs insulin treatment to survive. Because stomach enzymes interfere with insulin taken by mouth, oral insulin isn't an option for lowering blood sugar.
Many types of insulin are available, including:
Depending on your child's age and needs, the doctor may prescribe a mixture of insulin types to use throughout the day and night.
Often insulin is injected using a fine needle and syringe or an insulin pen — a device that looks like an ink pen, except the cartridge is filled with insulin.
An insulin pump also may be an option for some children. The pump is a device about the size of a cell phone worn on the outside of the body. In most cases, a tube connects the reservoir of insulin to a catheter that's inserted under the skin of the abdomen.
A wireless pump that uses small pods filled with insulin is another available option. The pump is programmed to dispense specific amounts of insulin automatically. It can be adjusted to deliver more or less insulin depending on meals, activity level and blood sugar level.
Contrary to popular perception, there's no diabetes diet. Your child won't be restricted to a lifetime of boring, bland foods. Instead, your child will need plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains — foods that are high in nutrition and low in fat and calories.
Your child's dietitian will likely suggest that your child — and the rest of the family — consume fewer animal products and sweets. In fact, it's the best eating plan for the entire family. Sugary foods are OK once in a while, as long as they're included in your child's meal plan.
Yet understanding what and how much to feed your child can be a challenge. A registered dietitian can help you create a meal plan that fits your child's health goals, food preferences and lifestyle.
Certain foods, such as those with a high sugar or fat content, may be more difficult to incorporate into your child's meal plan than healthier choices. For example, high-fat foods — because fat slows digestion — may cause a spike in blood sugar several hours after your child has eaten.
Unfortunately, there's no set formula to tell you how your child's body will process different foods. But, as time passes, you'll learn more about how your child's favorites affect his or her blood sugar, and then you can learn to compensate for them.
Everyone needs regular aerobic exercise, and children who have type 1 diabetes are no exception. Encourage your child to get regular physical activity. Sign up for a sports team or dance lessons. Better yet, exercise together. Play catch in the backyard. Walk or run through your neighborhood. Visit an indoor climbing wall or local pool. Make physical activity part of your child's daily routine.
But remember that physical activity usually lowers blood sugar, and it can affect blood sugar levels for up to 12 hours after exercise. If your child begins a new activity, check your child's blood sugar more often than usual until you learn how his or her body reacts to the activity. You might need to adjust your child's meal plan or insulin doses to compensate for the increased activity.
Even if your child takes insulin and eats on a rigid schedule, the amount of sugar in his or her blood can change unpredictably. With help from your child's diabetes treatment team, you'll learn how your child's blood sugar level changes in response to:
Food. What and how much your child eats will affect your child's blood sugar level. Food can pose a particular challenge for parents of very young children with type 1 diabetes. That's because young children are notorious for not finishing what's on their plate, and that's a problem if you've given the child an insulin injection to cover more food than he or she ate.
If you know this will be an issue, let your child's doctor know so that he or she can work with you to come up with an insulin regimen that works for your family.
Illness. During a cold or other illness, your child's body will produce hormones that raise his or her blood sugar level. In addition, a fever increases your child's metabolism. As a result, your child may need to take more frequent or larger doses of insulin.
If your child has an illness that's causing vomiting and he or she can't keep any food down, his or her body still needs insulin to cover the glucose produced in the liver. Ask your doctor about coming up with a sick-day management plan.
Sleep. Depending on your child's insulin regimen, he or she may be at risk of low blood sugar during the night. For that reason, your child's blood sugar levels should be slightly higher before bed than they are during the day.
For children younger than age 6, a good pre-bedtime level is 110 to 200 mg/dL (6.1 to 11.1 mmol/L), while a child between ages 6 and 12 should be in the 100 to 180 mg/dL (5.6 to 10 mmol/L) range. Teenagers' blood sugar levels should be between 90 and 150 mg/dL (5.0 to 8.3 mmol/L) before bed.
Pancreas transplant. With a successful pancreas transplant, your child would no longer need injected insulin. But pancreas transplants aren't always successful — and the procedure poses serious risks.
Your child would need a lifetime of potent immune-suppressing drugs to prevent organ rejection. These drugs can have serious side effects, including a high risk of infection and organ injury.
Eligibility for a pancreas transplant is limited mostly to people with kidney failure, and the majority of surgeries also include kidney transplantation.
Islet cell transplantation. Researchers also are experimenting with islet cell transplantation, which provides new insulin-producing cells from a donor pancreas. Although this experimental procedure has met with problems in the past, new techniques and better drugs to prevent islet cell rejection may hold promise for the future.
However, islet cell transplantation still requires the use of immune-suppressing medications, and just as it did with its own natural islet cells, the body often destroys transplanted islet cells, making the time off insulin short-lived.
Despite your best efforts, sometimes problems will arise. Certain short-term complications of type 1 diabetes require immediate care. Left untreated, these conditions can cause seizures and loss of consciousness (coma).
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If your child's blood sugar level drops below his or her target range, it's known as low blood sugar. Ask your doctor what's considered a low blood sugar level for your child.
Blood sugar levels can drop for many reasons, including skipping a meal, getting more physical activity than normal or injecting too much insulin. Hypoglycemia occurs more frequently with intermediate-acting insulin, such as NPH.
Teach your child the symptoms of low blood sugar and that when in doubt, he or she should always do a blood sugar test. Early signs and symptoms of low blood sugar include:
Later signs and symptoms of low blood sugar, which are sometimes mistaken for alcohol intoxication in teens and adults, include:
If your child develops hypoglycemia during the night, he or she might wake with sweat-soaked pajamas or a headache. Thanks to a natural rebound effect, nighttime hypoglycemia might cause an unusually high blood sugar reading first thing in the morning.
If your child has a low blood sugar reading, give him or her fruit juice, glucose tablets, hard candy, regular (not diet) soda or another source of sugar. Then retest his or her blood sugar in about 15 minutes to make sure it has gone up into the normal range. If it's not in the normal range, re-treat with more sugar (juice, candy, glucose tablets or another source of sugar) and then retest in another 15 minutes. Keep doing this until you get a normal reading.
It's a good idea to have your child eat another snack, this one containing a mixed food source, such as peanut butter and crackers, to help stabilize the blood sugar.
If a blood glucose meter isn't readily available, treat for low blood sugar anyway if your child has symptoms of hypoglycemia and then test as soon as possible.
Make sure your child always carries a source of fast-acting sugar with him or her.
Left untreated, low blood sugar will cause your child to lose consciousness. If this occurs, he or she may need an emergency injection of glucagon — a hormone that stimulates the release of sugar into the blood. Be sure your child always has a glucagon emergency kit available — at home, at school, during sports and on sleepovers — and make sure it hasn't expired.
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia). As with low blood sugar, your child's blood sugar can rise for many reasons, including eating too much, eating the wrong types of foods, not taking enough insulin or illness.
Watch for:
If you suspect hyperglycemia, check your child's blood sugar. You might need to adjust your child's meal plan or medications. If your child's blood sugar is higher than his or her target range, you'll likely need to administer a "correction" using an insulin shot or through an insulin pump. A correction is an additional dose of insulin that should bring your child's blood sugar back into the normal range.
Ask your doctor how long to wait until you recheck, although most of the time 15 minutes is appropriate. If your child uses an insulin pump, you may need to change the pump site if blood sugar levels don't come down.
If your child has a blood sugar reading above 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L), have your child test for ketones using a urine test stick. Don't allow your child to exercise if his or her blood sugar level is high or anytime ketones are present.
If your child's blood sugar is persistently above 300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L), call your child's doctor or seek emergency care.
Increased ketones in your child's urine (diabetic ketoacidosis). If your child's cells are starved for energy, your child's body may begin to break down fat — producing toxic acids known as ketones.
Signs and symptoms of this serious condition include:
If you suspect diabetic ketoacidosis, check your child's urine for excess ketones with an over-the-counter ketones test kit. If your child has a large amount of ketones in his or her urine, call your child's doctor right away or seek emergency care. Also, call your doctor if your child has vomited more than twice in a four-hour period and has ketones in his or her urine.

In Casablanca, Focus on Jewish Education
For Casablanca's Jews, coexistence isn't merely a buzzword or goal — it's a reality as tangible as the young Muslim student sitting one seat over in a high school classroom.
For Casablanca's Jews, coexistence isn't merely a buzzword or goal — it's a reality as tangible as the young Muslim student sitting one seat over in a high school classroom.
A 2010 molecular biology graduate of University of California, Santa Barbara, Goldstone decided to take a gap year before embarking on a career in medicine. After meeting JDC's medical director Dr. Rick Hodes, he spent 13 months volunteering in Ethiopia as a member of JDC Entwine's Global Jewish Service Corps.
"It is very important that we are not alone. We are in a Jewish and secure place," explains Messod, an elderly resident at the Levine Community Residence built by JDC in Morocco. "I feel safe here, and if I need anything, I know I can get help."
"If you see far, you will go far," is the first thing a teen orphan will hear when they climb atop the mountain peak in Rwamagana, Rwanda to join the community of the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV). Home to 500 students from each of Rwanda's 30 regions, the village is a safe-haven that offers education, family, and hope for the future to young people who had lost everything in the country's genocide and its aftermath.
Geula is 21, born and raised in Djerba, Tunisia, to a Jewish family whose roots here go back for centuries. But in the spirit of the times—and her country—she isn't spending much time looking at the past. Instead, she sets her sights on her work as a teacher, equipping her female students with the tools to be the next link in the unbroken chain she believes makes her community special.
"The challenges in Ethiopia are like nothing I've ever seen," says Dr. David Gordon, who has worked in some of the world's toughest developing countries. Read this JDC-Baylor Medical Fellow's insights on medical miracles, mind-bending local customs, and the importance of cardboard toys for malnourished children.

Please Note: Baits and Jigheads not included
Umbrella Rigs have been dominating local tournaments for some time now, and the B&D Custom Lures Umbrella Rig delivers a realistic, affordable umbrella rig presentation, complete with a lifelike epoxy head and well-made components.
Easily matched with your favorite jigheads and soft plastic baits, the B&D Umbrella Rig is a great platform for creating a highly customized Umbrella Rig. The five-prong design and quality swivels are strong enough to hold to catching multiple fish at once, and also allowing baits to move as a unit and simulate a school of baitfish. The B&D Umbrella Rig is effectively utilized when targeting suspended fish located near ledges, mounds, drops, and stumps. Quality construction and a reasonable price make B&D Umbrella Rigs a great purchase for any angler.
**Don't forget to check your State's fish and game rules and regulations - a fully rigged umbrella rig is illegal in some States.

This results in 49% reduction in frizz, 22% increase in body, 36% increase in comb-ability, and 31% increase in shine when compared to using regular tap water. T3 source shower head removes 95% of chlorine which improves hair health and enhances color retention.

Really Helped My Hair And SkinWhen our water was switched from well water to surface water, what a difference and not in a good way. I have been using the T3 Source Showerhead and filter for about six months and would highly recommend it.Nov 4, 2014Gayle / HoustonHAIR TYPEBlonde / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Healthy Hair At Last!I absolutely love this shower head! Being a hairstylist myself, I'm always looking for tools for myself and my clients that help keep the hair healthy. One of the biggest culprits I find that hinders hair from being healthy is hard water. Not only does it discolor the hair, but it dries it out...which eventually leads to split ends and breakage. I got this shower head at the suggestion of a client who said her hair has completely done a 180. I can't agree enough. My hair is so much softer and a thousand times less frizzy. I'm a brunette so I don't notice discoloration as much, but my blondes do. I have recommended it to several of my blonde clients and they notice that they no longer turn yellow! Long story short, this shower head is AMAZING!May 23, 2013Monique / Santa MonicaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Game Changer!I love T3 products so I was excited to give this a try.
When I moved from NYC to LA I noticed a massive change in my hair due to the hardness of the water. I notice the difference every time I go from east coast to west coast. So naturally, I thought I would give this product a chance. And I'm glad I did! My hair is less dry and coarse. Also, I noticed that my hair and body rinse "cleaner" as well.
I have the inline filter and I use it with my rain showerhead. It's like a mini spa experience every day!!!

Nice Showerhead But Didn't Deliver ResultsReceived this as a graduation gift. I love T3, but unfortunately I didn't notice a difference in my hair using this showerhead.

A Big DisappointmentThe water where I currently live leaves my hair coarse, brittle, dull, and difficult to manage. On the other hand, when I visit my childhood home or travel, one of the things to which I look forward the most is showering, as the water elsewhere gives me a completely different, vastly superior head of hair. I received this showerhead as a Christmas gift and was excited to try it, hoping it would resolve my issues with the water in my home city. If anything, however, this showerhead has somehow rendered my hair worse than ever! It hangs in clumps that resist brushing and styling; it's difficult even to run my fingers through my hair, and when I do, a few strands pull out or break off each time!
In addition to the negative effects on my hair, this showerhead lessens the water pressure, and I don't really like any of the spray patterns. (Some of the spray patterns are just downright useless.) Also, although some people may not have an issue with this, I could do without the purple "jewel" set in the dial. It looks cheap and childish and is very much out of place among the decor in an adult's bathroom.
I would readily return this item if I could, but unfortunately, I wasn't given the packing slip with the gift.Dec 31, 2012SarahHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair

Makes SenseI have long, thick, highlighted hair. I am always trying salon shampoos/conditioners to make me hair look better. After reading the description of what the water filtration removes from tap water it made sense that maybe I needed to think "beyond" my hair's need for different hair products, makes sense that if my water contains chlorine, along with other contaminates that has to affect my hair. I have noticed a different softer feel in just 3 days, less tangles, and my skin is not itchy as it usual is after a shower.I shower everyday and use hot, hot water. It is a large shower head and had no problems installing. So far I am very happy with the purchase. Will be interested in finding out if my hairdresser who always states I must have "hard" water when she highlights my hair notices a difference too!Jun 5, 2012Dana N. / United StatesHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
According to an interview German gaming outlet KGN had with Gearbox's CEO Randy Pitchford, the team was approached to develop a Call of Duty game and declined. According to Pitchford, making the game wouldn't have been a "significant challenge."
The translation below doesn't come from Google's spotty translator, but rather from Neogaf user shinobi602's forum post.
"I don't think there's anything to accomplish there," says Pitchford. "I think if I was only in it for the money I would've done that.[...] I think to do Call of Duty right you need to do what needs to be done and there are a lot of people who can do that. For us it wouldn't add to our credibility, it wouldn't move us forward. There would be no significant challenge that would be gratifying to overcome."
Do you think Pitchford's stance on the Call of Duty franchise is fair? What do you think a Gearbox-developed Call of Duty game would be like?
Well, he's right if thats what you are asking. CoD sales on name and marketing alone now days and Activision sees this as a sign that players like what they are doing. This isn't going to afford developers a great deal of leeway when creating the game.
"Sit down and do what you're told" is something every developer should be against.
I think GBX wants to make games where they can have full control over what they can and cannot put into the game.
Consiering they'd have Activision looking over thier shoulders constantly most likely turned them off from making a CoD game.
Like he said, its not "hard" for thier studio, they just don't want to have to use a precut template that they can't escape from, ever.

Totally agree, different guns, different setting, different multiplayer maps, same game. Tack on a slipshod 5 hour single player experience and CoD franchise installments are more like expansion packs with updated graphics than stand alone games.
Activision was after having a recognized FPS developer so they can slap their name on the box for more reputation with consumers, especially those that chase Gearboxs' works. If they did sign aboard, I'm pretty sure Activision would have railed them into making their COD title the way it's been done for a handful of years going.
It still amazes me how people buy the same but reskinned game for $70 USD. No matter how much I despise Activision, I have to admit, that is an amazing bit of trickery they've pulled.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)

On Aug. 4, 2014, Rev. William Barber urged a Mountain Moral Monday crowd in Asheville, North Carolina to continue to press lawmakers on issues that harm the poor, the children and the environment. Asheville (N.C.) Citizen-Times
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — The president of the state NAACP urged people to vote out politicians he called extremists during the Mountain Moral Monday rally at Pack Square Park.
The crowd on Monday was about 3,500, according to a police estimate. The number is far fewer than the 10,000 the event attracted last year.
The Rev. William Barber, at a press conference ahead of the rally, said judging the success of a movement by numbers is a mistake. He said people, at times, tried to judge the civil rights movement in the 1960s by the number of people marching and attending rallies.
"We love numbers," he said, "but we don't live or die by numbers."
The real judge of movement's success is whether it is changing the state's policies and influencing its lawmakers.
Barber said that is happening in North Carolina and offered as evidence what he called an effort by the Republican-controlled legislature to appear kinder and gentler.
He fired up the crowd with a speech that hit many of the themes of the speeches he has given across North Carolina in the last year.
The Republican dominated state legislature and Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, he said, are hurting the poor by failing to expand Medicaid and even cutting the program in the budget passed in the legislative short session this summer.
Barber said lawmakers are hurting schools and children by not adequately funding education. They have taken away rights through sweeping restrictions on how people vote, he said. They have raised taxes on working people and cut taxes for the rich and corporations, he said.
The GOP is also harming the environment by clearing the way for the controversial practice of hydraulic natural gas mining called fracking, other rally speakers said. They have marginalized a group of state residents by amending the constitution to ban same-sex marriage, the speakers said.
Barber urged every person at the rally to register 10 to 15 new voters.
"Today is not just Moral Monday but it's the moral march to the polls," he said. "We must blow the minds of MSNBC and CNN when November comes. We must make them say we ain't never seen nothing like this before. It's time for the new South to rise again."
Rev. Joe Hoffman, of Asheville's First Congregational United Church of Christ, said good government comes from an informed public.
"We can make a difference we will make a difference and we need everybody's help to do that," he said.
Signs in the crowd read "Love thy neighbor" and "Cutting funds for education is just wrong."
Asheville resident Byron Ballard brought a rusty and ancient-looking pitchfork with a broken handle.
"We all know they only way you get the monsters out of the castle is with a flaming torch and a pitchfork," she said.
She was hoping someone else brought the torch.
For the past 67 weeks, Barber has led the civil disobedience campaign called Moral Mondays at the North Carolina General Assembly in Raleigh. The Asheville rally was the second annual Mountain Moral Monday.
The Raleigh protests gained national attention last year, as thousands poured into Halifax Mall each week and sometimes into the state General Assembly building, where hundreds were arrested. Charges have been dismissed in some cases and the legislature, during the short session this summer, tightened protest rules.

Eavesdropping Enigma
RAY: A girl and her mother are out shopping. They overhear a conversation between a customer and a salesperson in the next aisle.
The customer asks, "How much does one cost?"
The salesperson answers, "One costs 99 cents."
"OK, how about 12?"
"Oh, that'll be $1.98."
"Okay, in that case, I'll take 128."
The cashier rings up the purchase, and it comes to $2.97.
Here's the question: what kind of store are they in, and what is this person buying?

I had very bad experiences with nursing bras. I tried to be cheap and ones from Walmart and Target. They started fraying with a month of use!! After doing a lot of research I chanced upon lleading lady and am I glad!! It feels like I'm wearing clouds. They're so comfortable. The material is so so soft and they stretch enough to ensure a smooth fit which looks good under clothes. I lucked out and got them at 50% off. Going to order a few more. Only wish it was available in more colors in my size 36D. And yes, they fit true to size.

Just re-read chapter 510 where Tobi fights Konan and uses Izanagi. He says "A techneque that can only be used by someone possessing both the powers of the Uchiha and the Senju".
But later when Itachi fights Kabuto and uses Izanami, he explain that Izanami was a jutsu created to counter the use of Izanagi. Since it was spammed so much by the Uchiha. But how the hell could they "spam" Izanagi? Tobi says you need both Senju and Uchiha powers, but yet Uchiha still used it with only the sharingan. And one person could only use it twice, and be blind as a result. So how could it possibly have been abused? Didn't they think that loosing even one eye would be a bad thing?

Sounds cool, would be awesome if this is true.
Sounds cool, would be awesome if this is true.
I hope Jiraiya doesn't die, but if he does, I hope it's one hell of a fight where we can all se e how great he truly is. This "warehouse" thing, I hope Jiraiya kept all of the secrets to the Fourth's Justsu there, so Naruto can learn them all.
I really hope this is true.When the frog says that's crazy, Jiraiya says "Uchiha Madara," the Uchiha Clan's founder, summoned the Kyuubi before. He is alleged to have been defeated by the First Hokage in the Valley of Endings. Froggy says there's no way he could be alive today, but Jiraiya says he has "a bad feeling" about all this.
So I can bitch-slap everyone who said that's not Uchiha Madara's statue.
i think lots of ninja knew it but not the ordinary civilans
i think itachi know it the sannins know it including oro" and sandaime and maybe some friend of the mother and father of naruto
Made By Hagane, the Ice NomadNAruto's next Rasengan powerup(where he uses his new Fuuton RS while in Fox Xage mode) will accidentally make a tear in dimensions and suck Aizen and everyone else into Narutoverse, which will result in Madara and Aizen fusing, and Naruto will borrow Ichigo's enormous Zanpakuto and charge it with Wind Chakra and cut Madaraizen(if you steal this term I will hunt you down and disembowel you) in half, and then the world explodes from the awesomeness of the scene.
If this is true, EVERYONE who called Naruto weak will eat their words.
ohy boy naruto about to get another major upgrade. looks like jiraiya knows he might not come out of battle alive. we must be ready to say good bye to a sannin.
Okay, another spoiler confirmed true.

Two late penalties from Freddie Burns guided Gloucester to a 22-16 victory over Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park.
Two late penalties from Freddie Burns guided Gloucester to a 22-16 victory over Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park.
The Falcons dominated the opening 30 minutes and took a 13-3 lead through Tom Catterick's try and the boot of Rory Clegg, with Freddie Burns responding for the Cherry and Whites.
However, Rob Cook crossed the whitewash before a Burns' penalty and Jonny May touchdown sent the visitors into the lead.
Phil Godman levelled matters but the Gloucester stand-off kicked two more three-pointers to secure the victory.
Newcastle have adapted well to life back in the Premiership, securing a 15-14 triumph at Sale Sharks in Round Two.
But it is their home form which will be the key for their survival in the top division, and Catterick's first minute try signalled their intentions.
Will Welch made the initial break before Ally Hogg sent the Falcons' winger clear. Clegg converted and then added a penalty as the hosts took a 10-0 advantage.
The fly-halves traded penalties before the visitors hit back with a score from full-back Cook as the Tyneside-based outfit went into the interval 13-8 ahead.
Although Newcastle were in the lead, it was Gloucester who were in the ascendency at the start of the second period and Burns reduced the deficit to two points after 48 minutes.
May then scampered over after good work from James Simpson-Daniel and Henry Trinder to complete the turnaround. And despite Godman briefly restoring parity with a three-pointer, Burns was on target twice from the tee late on to revive their hopes of mounting a play-off challenge.
The scorers:
For Newcastle:
Con: Clegg
Pens: Clegg 2, Godman
For Gloucester:Tries: Cook, May
Pens: Burns 4
Newcastle: 15 Alex Tait, 14 Noah Cato, 13 Adam Powell, 12 James Fitzpatrick, 11 Tom Catterick, 10 Rory Clegg, 9 Mike Blair, 8 Ally Hogg, 7 Will Welch (c), 6 Mark Wilson, 5 Dom Barrow, 4 Carlo del Fava, 3 Oliver Tomaszczyk, 2 Matt Thompson, 1 Franck Montanella.

comfortable & warm boot
"I bought these boots for our Kansas winter...they are extremely warm & comfortable. My only problem was that the zipper on the left boot would not stay zipped. (I am in the process of returning/exchanging for another pair). I love them so much that I am reordering the exact same thing. ..hoping it was just a defective boot. Very comfortable & withstood our crazy cold & snow."

zip up boots
"After reading the reviews I decided to buy these boots. The style was the best. I wear an 8 1/2, but bought a 9. An 8 1/2 would have likely fit me. Getting the bigger size will allow me to put in a more comfy insole. The foot bed is a little firm. Otherwise, very comfy and warm. About the zipper - If I push the zipper pully flat into the zipper it does seem to stay up. If it becomes a problem, I will get some Velcro and figure out something. I bought the boots for a trip to see family in Utah in January. For me, they will serve the purpose."

Very comfy, but...
"I love how cute these boots look and how comfortable they are to wear for long periods of time, however, I do not like that the zipper will not stay zipped. I tried tying a shoestring around the outside of the boot, just under the zipper pull but that only helps a bit and it looks sort of silly. These would be excellent if the zipper issue was rectified."

Zipper doesn't stay up
"The zipper on this boot does not stay up when you walk. Should have been a side zipper. When the zipper falls down, it is difficult to walk and keep your foot in the boot. Very disappointed."
