A healthy cardiovascular system is essential: if you don't take care of it' you may be at risk for clogged arteries and reduced oxygen flow to vital organs' such as your heart and brain. Some of the best ways to maintain cardiovascular health are to eat a healthy diet low in saturated and trans fats' and to exercise regularly. For some this may be easier said than done' due to busy schedules' cost' or the lack of availability of healthier choices. This is where a supplement like Vinco's Yeast Rice capsules can help.
Each capsule contains red yeast rice' which is a yeast called Monascus purpureus; ironically' it doesn't actually grow into scarlet-shaded rice. Research has shown that red yeast rice may be effective in supporting cardiovascular health.

text: Conjuring a dark, powerful sound that suggests an unholy alliance between the Funk Brothers and the Jesus and Mary Chain, Waves of Fury are a British act whose fusion of R&B and indie rock has won them a devoted following and plenty of press attention at home. Waves of Fury were founded by London-born vocalist and guitarist Carter Sharp, who joined his first band at the age of 14, playing bass in a local combo called the Laughing Boys. Years later, Sharp became fascinated with American musical forms after a trip to the deep South, and teaming with guitarist Hove, keyboard man Jamie Bird, and drummer Adam Smith, they formed Waves of Fury, a name bestowed on them by a friend of the band who was just six years old. Waves of Fury made their live debut in April 2011, and five months later they released their first recordings, an EP called Blood in Fury. After tours of the U.K. and the United States, Waves of Fury relocated to Bristol, Somerset, and revamped their lineup, with Hove and Smith leaving, Fil Ward and James MacPhee signing on as their new guitarist and drummer, and Bim Williams becoming a frequent part of their live shows on horns. U.K. disc jockey Paul Artrocker began giving the Blood in Fury EP regular airplay on his Resonance FM show, and brought the group to the attention of Patrick Boissel, who runs the Los Angeles-based Alive Naturalsound label. Boissel and Alive Naturalsound were enthusiastic about Waves of Fury and signed the group to an international deal; the single "The Businessman's Guide to Witchcraft" became the band's debut for the label in July 2012. In October 2012, Waves of Fury released their first full-length album, Thirst, recorded at Toybox Studios in Bristol. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Understanding and controlling business auto costs
It's easy to understand why prices rise for manufactured or commodity-based products. When prices for raw materials increase, the cost of the product goes up. It's not as easy to understand the cause of higher prices in a service-based industry such as insurance. Many factors can affect the cost of insuring a business vehicle.

ZZz fillers for the lose again? Not like they are anywhere near the manga at the moment...Thks for the links anyway
From here on out they can't really do much with fillers... there's never a break in the action at all. So I guess they could have a few fillers for the one brief break in the action.
I liked this episode! It reminded me that those characters even exist... they haven't impacted the manga in forever. Hinata is the only one who's relevant to the plot.
These are the fillers they should be making I'd love more of these to extend the war.
The next episode looks awesome !

Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Bequest of Joseph Reinhard 1921

We painted on the banks of the river and ate in a country café, and we returned on foot to Paris, through the streets of Saint-Ouen and Clichy. Van Gogh wore a blue zinc worker's smock and painted coloured smudges on the sleeves.—Paul Signac1
Van Gogh arrived in Paris on 27 February 1886, and left for Arles in February 1888. During this time he completed 230 paintings. His artistic metamorphoses—from rustic, Millet-like realist to radical colourist—is one of the more dramatic in nineteenth-century art. He arrived in Paris at a time when Monet, Auguste Renoir and Pissarro were rethinking their positions. Gauguin and Seurat were jostling for leadership of the avant-garde, and the younger trio of Bernard, Toulouse-Lautrec and Louis Anquetin were searching for signs and symbols in medieval glass, Japanese art and popular prints.2 The young artists were eager to move beyond Impressionism. As they redefined their work both in terms of subject matter and stylistically, van Gogh began to refer to himself and his contemporaries as 'painters of the petit boulevard'.3
In 1887 van Gogh worked at Asnières—with Signac in late April and May, and, later, in the autumn, with Bernard. Asnières, on the banks of the Seine, was then one of the expanding suburbs of Paris, and its modernity attracted many artists: it was neither city nor country and, with a shifting population and volatile class structure, seemed in a constant state of flux. It was also at a walking distance from Montmartre, where Vincent lived with Theo. At Asnières Van Gogh painted riverside restaurants, public gardens, bridges and factories. As he later wrote to his sister Wilhelmina, Asnières allowed him to see 'more colour'.4
The Restaurant de la Sirène, at 7 Boulevard de la Seine (now Quai du Docteur-Derveux) near the Pont Asnières, was a substantial establishment. Van Gogh renders the buildings, sky and road in delicate greys, blues, yellows and tans, and then reanimates the whole scene with a rich brocade of climbing plants, flickering flags, and figures looking down from the second-floor balcony. In some sections, such as the shuttered facade of the tallest building at left, van Gogh applies his paint so thinly that the ground and drawing are visible. He uses the same thin brushstrokes to scratch the text on the hoardings. Touches of pure white are used to highlight elements of the facade and details such as the shirt of the figure on the street. The three men crouching over the cafe table are portrayed with minimal brushstrokes. Restaurant de la Sirène at Asnières demonstrates van Gogh's absorption of both Impressionist and Pointillist techniques. Later paintings (works 46, 47, 48, 49) show him using the pure colours and intensely Expressionist marks for which he is best known.

Posted on 07/07/2009 8:57:48 AM PDT by DesertRenegade
A new report in this month's issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Human Sexuality finds that sexual orientation can be changed and that psychological care for individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions is generally beneficial and that research has not found significant risk of harm.
The study, conducted by the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), examined more than 100 years of professional and scientific literature from 600-plus studies and reports from clinicians, researchers and former clients principally published in professional and peer-reviewed journals.
"This research is a significant milestone when it comes to the scientific debate over the issue of homosexuality," NARTH President Dr. Julie Hamilton said. "It also confirms what we have seen evidenced in hundreds of individuals who have benefited from the help of NARTH therapists.
"We believe that every person should have the right to independently determine their own course in life, and for many that involves seeking counseling options that affirm their personal beliefs."
The survey, titled What Research Shows: NARTH's Response to the American Psychological Association's Claims on Homosexuality, was assembled over 18 months by three of the leading academics and therapists in the field and under the direction of the NARTH Scientific Advisory Committee. It confirms the results of a 2007 longitudinal study conducted by researchers Stanton L. Jones and Mark Yarhouse that found that religiously mediated sexual orientation change is possible for some individuals and does not cause psychological harm on average.
The last finding is important, because it directly refutes unsubstantiated claims made by some factions of the American Psychological Association (APA) and several other professional mental health organizations that it is unethical for therapists to assist patients to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions.
"The APA's own Code of Ethics supports every client's rights to autonomy and self-determination in therapy and mandates that therapists either respect a client's practice of religion and sexual orientation or refer the client to a professional who will offer such respect," NARTH explains in the report. "Clients who are not distressed about their sexual orientation should not be directed to change by mental-health professionals. Conversely, clients who seek sexual reorientation deserve properly informed and competent psychological care from therapists who use interventions that have been scientifically demonstrated as helpful for achieving this goal."
Nicholas Cummings, a past APA president and author of Destructive Trends in Mental Health, concurred.
"This is a basic tenant of psychotherapy, that religion for most people is an anchor," he told CitizenLink. "To pull that out from under them is an egregious thing to do."
In finding that there is substantial evidence that sexual orientation may be changed through therapy, the study also found that treatment success for clients seeking to change unwanted homosexuality and develop their heterosexual potential has been documented in the professional and research literature since the late 19th century.
"We acknowledge that change in sexual orientation may be difficult to attain," NARTH says in the report. "As with other difficult challenges and behavioral patterns such as low-self-esteem, abuse of alcohol, social phobias, eating disorders, or borderline personality disorder, as well as sexual compulsions and addictions change through therapy does not come easily. Relapses to old forms of thinking and behaving are as is the case with most forms of psychotherapy for most psychological conditions not uncommon."
Nonetheless, the report continues, "we conclude that the documented benefits of reorientation therapy and the lack of its documented general harmfulness support its continued availability to clients who exercise their right of therapeutic autonomy and self-determination through ethically informed consent."
A third major finding of the study is that there is significantly greater medical, psychological and relational pathology in the homosexual population than the general population.
"Overall, many of these problematic behaviors and psychological dysfunctions are experienced among homosexuals at about three times the prevalence found in the general population and sometimes much more," the report states. "Investigators using modern, state-of-the-art research methods have documented that many different pathological traits are more prevalent in homosexual than in heterosexual groups. We believe that no other group of comparable size in society experiences such intense and widespread pathology."
Among the scientific findings cited in the study:
Despite knowing the AIDS risk, homosexuals repeatedly and pathologically continue to indulge in unsafe sex practices.
Homosexuals represent the highest number of STD cases.
Many homosexual sex practices are medically dangerous, with or without "protection."
More than one-third of homosexual men and women are substance abusers.
Forty percent of homosexual adolescents report suicidal histories.
Homosexuals are more likely than heterosexuals to have mental-health concerns, such as eating disorders, personality disorders, paranoia, depression and anxiety.
Homosexual relationships are more violent than heterosexual relationships.
Societal bias and discrimination do not, in and of themselves, contribute to the majority of increased health risks for homosexuals.
Jeff Johnston, gender issue analyst for Focus on the Family, said these findings should have an impact on "those who claim to have the best interests of the gay community at heart."
"True social justice, compassion, concern and intellectual honesty," he explained, "dictate that men and women who want to pursue freedom from homosexuality whether because of their faith or because of the health risks associated with homosexuality should be afforded that opportunity by the mental health industry, including its associations and educational institutions."
Bugger them..... Oh, wait......
Uh-oh - the jig is up!!! (Or is saying that too gay???)
It was already clear that homosexuality isn't genetic, since the adopted children of homosexuals are (IIRC) 70% more likely to be homosexual than the children of hetero parents.
That statistic (aside from the issues of abuse) is enough to warrant banning gay adoption, IMNSHO.
We'll see how soon the MSM starts reporting any of the above...lol
Uh, oh.
Somebody's going to re-education camp.
The entire goat population of Syria breathes a sigh of relief.
I don't know anyone, that remembers the day they decided to become a heterosexual instead of a homosexual.
the homosexuals(not gay) will no doubt denounce this as they have done in the past .
I have said this all along that homosexuals do it because they like sex with the same sex and that is it.
Not about love because I love my kids, dog but feel no attraction to having sex with them.
It is all based on their sexual gratification and what turns them on.
One thing this study missed was the majority are like drama queens who feel that society owes them something when it does not.
They are most certainly paranoid and clearly need to seek mental help, the sad part is that some shrinks tell them that they are alright because they too are messed up and see other shrinks..
It should be the way it is and call it what it is.
a sexual perversion
Would you be pleased if your daughter married an ex-homosexual?
agreed but I will take further.
They want to be married,(small part of a big agenda) well if we base marraige on sexual pleasure (like MA, CT does) and that is what it is then all sorts of whacked out marraiges should be formed.
This is why they should not be married and marraige should be one man between one woman as it has been for generations and the birth of this country
Seems to me that in many cases homosexuality is one symptom (amongst many) of severe emotional trauma. It is a coping mechanism. Ergo, for society to normalize homosexuality and declare it to be healthy, wholesome, normal, and natural does the homosexual no favors.
This is perhaps the saddest aspect of the entire homosexual conflict. Homosexuals delude themselves that they are happy when they are not, and society reinforces their delusion. In the mean time, the underlying trauma is ignored for the sake of normalizing homosexuality.
By the way, the APS denies that homosexuals are more likely than others to experience other psychological disorders.
Nobody is doing homosexuals any favors by telling them they are okay and normal.
Anyone who advocates allowing those with same-sex attraction to adopt children is advocating child abuse.
If I had a daughter I'm fairly positive I wouldn't want her marrying an ex-gay. Besides - most homosexuals won't want to change their orientation through therapy and giving the state or any other authority to compel people to submit to therapy reassigning their sexual orientation is not something I want to see since heterosexual orientation can presumably be changed as well. Absent a state interest sufficient to compel somebody to undergo this sort of therapy I can't see most people saying that any establish rights granted to gays should be revoked as it is now "merely" a choice.
The homos are simply being used by the anti-family forces of the left.
Yes, homosexuality is a perversion. And no one should be surprised when other mental illnesses and perversions (pedophilia) occur in homos more often than in the general population.
The interesting thing to me is that the militant homosexuals already know this. That is why they want in the schools, why they want to be Boy Scouts and youth group leaders etc. They are trying desperately to "make" more new homosexuals. If they can get to the children while they are young and seduce them and molest them and convince them it is cool and all right to be queer they can swell their ranks. This study proves that. If you can teach someone not be gay you can surely teach them to be gay.
Normally developed people don't need to "decide" their sexual orientation. It grows in them naturally until it is fully mature. And it is unerringly heterosexual.
But if some trauma arrested a child's sexual development before it had a chance to differentiate, the child may be (pathologically) homosexual. That is a mental illness and can be treated.
Having studied art and having worked in the arts in a large city (where everyone in the arts was acquainted with hundreds of gays), I saw many men make this decision back in the 80s, when AIDS started decimating their social group (I am a straight woman). As many as could, got out. Some got married heterosexually and had children. One of those couples whom I knew fairly well is still married today and has grandchildren.
As the article says, orientation recovery isn't an on/off switch, and some people who try may have relapses, like with alcoholism or other disorders. But I saw the change happen, among both men and women. It had to start with a decision to try.
Your post totally nailed it. (No pun intended.)
At age 7, I knew there was something repulsive about him, especially the way he talked....and at that age I knew nothing about the existence of homosexuals or anything like that.
A few years later, I noticed the same speech pattern in Charles Nelson Riley on "Hollywood Squares" and my friends began using the word "queer" and it all started adding up, but it was always repulsive instinctively I guess.
Nobody is talking about forcing anyone to accept recovery therapy -- far from it. The force is coming from the gay lobby, insisting that homosexuality is irreversible, and therefore they deserve not only gay marriage and adoption, but also to indoctrinate children to accept their lifestyle as "normal."
Homosexual advocates here in Maryland have tried to introduce a school curriculum that not only promotes a positive view of homosexual behavior; it named certain church denominations as "bigoted." Even in one of the most liberal counties, it was shot down, but they try again every year to ram it through. The extremist gay-favoring school board will not allow equal time for the message that change is possible; and have repeatedly rejected requests by groups such as Exodus or Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays to also take part in the curriculum.
In other parts of the country, Christians or others who believe it is possible to recover from same-sex attraction have been the targets of discrimination and expulsion from PhD programs in Counseling when they could not guarantee to affirm patients with gay orientation, and tried to find a gay-affirming counselor for them. Instead, persons of conscience were harassed and/or dismissed from their doctoral programs after years of work and effort. Lawsuits are ongoing. The gay lobby wants to set orientation in stone, with obvious advantages for them politically, regardless of the truth or the desires of those who may be in it only because they lost their way, took a wrong turn or were abused in childhood and are compensating with unhealthful behavior.
GSWarrior: "Would you be pleased if your daughter married an ex-homosexual?"
No more than if my daughter married someone who had been treated for schizophrenia. If someone grew up in the Mafia and committed a lot of crimes, but later in life renounced that - would you want your daughter to marry him? If not, does that mean you accept being in the Mafia as a genetic condition to be embraced?
Talk show host Roy Masters has a great article on the causes of homosexuality: http://www.fhu.com/articles/gays_in_society.html
TomOnTheRun: "I believe that people will increasingly treat it simply as a viable alternative orientation."
I'm curious what your specific opposition to polygamy is then. Isn't that also an alternative lifestyle as well as many others?
Interesting indeed.
I find it particularly galling that liberal psychologists will never encourage/treat an unhappy homosexual toward heterosexuality, but will gladly assist someone who is unhappy with his/her gender "assignment" toward a new gender.
Just don't pass the smell test.
Percy Dovetonsils (as played by Ernie Kovacs).
One of his famous odes:
Leslie the Mean Animal Trainer:
Leslie worked in a circus
he worked in a great big cage.
He smacked the lions
and beat the bears
and put them all in a rage.
He kicked the lions with iron sneakers
and rolled up army cots.
He put cleaning fluid on all the leopards
and sneered when they lost their spots.
But a chimpanzee got even with him...
Leslie got killed by some smells,
when he stuck his head the lion's mouth
He had liver smeared on his lapels.
I remember asking my Dad when I was probably 6yo what was wrong with him (Liberace)? LOL That's funny I had forgot that.
Nothing about this article had anything remotely to do with compelling such therapy, so why repeat yourself? No one has even suggested it. Traditional family advocates are not playing an offensive game with the gay lobby, but a defensive one. They want to destroy us, not the other way around. Are we clear on that?
The reason this article is needed is not because anyone wants to force them to do anything, but because the gay lobby has tried:
to deny that recovery is possible,
to prevent recovery events from taking place, and
to exclude the testimony of ex-gays from any policy decisions.
You are absolutely correct. The "counselors" that "specialize" with LGTB issues will give a very cursory "let's explore why you feel this way" and then it's off to the races. It's all about making sure the person getting therapy can affirm and justify their "alternative orientation". Big time agendas in place.
Throughout the 80s and 90s, friends who went to marriage counselors complained of the same thing -- all the "support" was given to the one who wanted to break up the home, not the one who wanted to save the marriage.
Up is down. In is out. Bad is good. Good is bad.....
Wasn't this a theme in Clockwork Orange? They tried to change the sado-masochistic sexual tendencies and fantasies of the main character through aversive therapy. Of course, that's not what really happened, and in the end he was "cured."
(And yes, I've seen the last chapter in the book, which gives a somewhat different slant on things).
I know the exact moment a biological switch clicked over, and that I was aware of my hetrosexual orientation, and I was suddenly and vividly aware of the mysterious attraction of the opposite sex - it was not something that "grew" in me gradually, it was a strong biological propensity that expressed itself dramatically and without previous evidence.
Some gays and lesbians I know report a similar experience of instantaneous and vivid experience of attraction to members of the same sex, and I've no reason to suspect that their experience was any less "authentic" than my own.
Your claim is just a tautology, by your definition anyone who makes the discovery that their desire is heterosexual is "normally developed", anyone who discovers the opposite is abnormal because you define normal are "unerringly heterosexual". But that's just your definition, and I doubt it would be remotely convincing to anyone who's made the discovery that they are "unerringly homosexual".
I think there are some "tweeners" that can, in fact, be changed, or whatever. On the other hand, I have know some gays who were simply gay from childhood. Physically even, as if it were some hormonal imbalance. As someone else said, I would not "trust" a former gay guy, a real swisher, to become straight, ESPECIALLY if that "Straightness" were religiously motivated, to be with my daughter. Some gays are just gays, more like transsexuals really. Just my opinion.
This is not like the choice of a Mazda vs a Honda. The things the state is on the fence about denying are special rights for GLBTs that trump the rights of citizens in general, such as the hate crimes proposals, making punishments for crimes against them more severe than for crimes against the elderly, pregnant women, children, or other much more culturally significant groups. Another of their special demands is marriage, even if it is motivated primarily by wanting to qualify for benefits funds, while having no intention of fidelity. And, the aforementioned shoehorning into all schools explicit instructions for how to live the way they do, paid for by the taxpayer, with no opt-outs allowed.
Other special rights are wanting to make it illegal for churches to read the Biblical warnings against homosexual conduct, and to fine and imprison pastors who do so, as their counterparts in Europe have already done. They want to be hired as workers and as teachers in religious organizations and then prevent "discriminatory" language at churches. They have shut down the Catholic adoption agency already in Massachusetts, because there, gay marriage is legal, but Catholics will not place children for gay adoption.
Their purpose in campaigning for marriage is not so much about marriage as it is for wanting the state to grant them an official stamp of approval for their behavior; and next on the list, as evidenced by lawsuits and journal articles, is to lower the age of sexual consent to 12, or to abolish it ocmpletely, giving them full access to sex with infants and children. Unchecked, their movement will destroy society, and any natural rights of pregnant women, natural mothers and natural fathers, just as the birth control movement disguised its true agenda: fascist eugenics.
I do follow your points and understand your worries but I wasn't attempting to address those issues or worries in my original comment. I could be wrong but I believe we have been speaking at cross-purposes here.
I don't understand why folks are compelled to save gays from themselves. Contribute to the lives of those around you the best way you can and let God sort out the rest.
"A new report in this month's issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Human Sexuality finds that sexual orientation can be changed."
Sure, butt to the North, butt to the South, get on their knees and take it in the...........Oh, they are not talking geographic orientation!
I suggest you look up the definition of the word "normal". By that definition — which I did not create, by the way — deviance is not normal. Homosexuality is deviant, by definition. Therefore, my "tautology" is implicit.
You, on the other hand, attempt to win the argument by redefining the terms, and including a pathology under the definition of "normal".
If your friends had felt a sudden and dramatic orientation toward murder, would that mean their behavior was any less aberrational? Frankly, I doubt the "epiphany" school of sexual development, but even if I concede that point arguendo, the result is the same. However quickly one arrives at the notion of one's sexuality, there is a correct (i.e. normal) result and an abnormal or deviant result. Heterosexuality is the norm. Homosexuality is the deviation.
M. Dodge Thomas: "Some gays and lesbians I know report a similar experience of instantaneous and vivid experience of attraction to members of the same sex, and I've no reason to suspect that their experience was any less "authentic" than my own."
I'm sure pedophiles claim the same thing - that they are genetically predisposed to desire little kids. Yet almost anyone with common sense would see it as an unhealthy and dangerous lifestyle.
"I don't understand why folks are compelled to save gays from themselves."
Ever hear of Jesse Dirkhising?
After a proven track record and sharing a lot of family interaction and inter-relational experiences with him - yes.
Sy Rogers (http://www.syrogers.com/biography/) was a confirmed homosexual, actually a "transsexual", who had begun the "transition" from male "to" female, short of surgery. He was as deep as you can get into this culture. When he had a transformative encounter with Christ, everything changed. He became deeply involved in a Church where he met his future wife Karen. Working and living together in a close-knit, spiritual community, you get to know each other on a much deeper level than in the secular world. Karen saw the ongoing transformation front row, and didn't have a problem with saying "yes" to Sy, even though he continued to exhibit a lot of effeminate mannerisms. Check out his website.
Would you say that monogamous homosexuality is more "objectively disoriented" then compulsively promiscuous heterosexuality?
"Objectively disoriented" is a pretty slippery concept.
The objection to pedophilia is not that it's an inherently "unhealthy and dangerous lifestyle", were it legal it might in some senses (for example, the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases) be a more healthy and less dangerous lifestyle for the adult participant than having sex with other adults.
The objection to pedophilia in our culture (and this is not apparent as a matter of "common sense" judgment in all cultures, BTW) - be it between members of the same of the opposite sex - is that it is impossible for children to give informed consent to participate in such behavior, the inherent power differences between the participants are too great.
In one sense this a tragic situation for the pedophile (if they act ethically, they will be in a state of constantly unfulfilled desire), but if they wish to be participants in our culture they have an ethical responsibility not to act on their desires no matter how great the temptation.
However this is just one example of many such constraints on sexual behavior related to great disparities in power, and in this regard the definition of ethical behavior is constantly evolving.
For example very few people would argue that a judge could ethically have a sexual relationship with the defendant appearing before her in a capital murder case, OTOH under what conditions sexual relationships are acceptable between people employed at different levels of the same organization is a question on which opinion is often uncertain and currently in a state of flux.
What is similar in the case of pedophilia and homosexuality is that part of many people's distress in encountering accounts of either is that they "cannot imagine" the mental state of one or both of the parties involved
What is dissimilar is that (at least to me) it's possible to imagine a homosexual relationship which would be ethically superior to its heterosexual counterpart, but I can't imagine any situation in which a sexual relationship between adult and someone with an absolute minimum age of 14 or 15 (and a few years older, in most cases) could be conducted in an ethical manner.

"The word that comes to mind when summing up this book is perfect. We can't imagine how another guidebook formula could make a complex climbing area easier to navigate or more enticing to visit."
John Harlin summing up the Banff Mountain Book Festival Judges' feelings about Lofoten Rock - November 2008 (full review below)
The Lofoten Islands are located off the west coast of Norway north of the Arctic Circle - FREE PDF Map of the climbing areas. The area is covered with inspirational mountains of perfect grey granite in some dramatic scenery. As with many areas the developed climbing seems to have barely scratched the surface of available climbable rock and yet the established routes are already regarded as some of the best multi-pitch granite route on either side of the Atlantic.

The Islands have an almost mythical status in Norway, and despite their remoteness, most Norwegians feel they have to visit the place at least once in their lives. For climbers the same could be said to be true, a remote stronghold of traditional climbing, on great rock, amongst marvellous scenery. The atmosphere of the islands is magical and weaves its spell on all who visit - trips are inevitably too short and returns are planned as soon as the peaks slip over the horizon.
6 Reviews for Lofoten Rock
Infectiously enthusiastic and a smorgasbord of inspiration and information combined in the wonderful images and topos. Shaggy and inclusive rather than clinical and definitive, with a frankness that's totally winning, and in its invitation for readers' contributions totally modern and in the 'wiki spirit' too. Exciting and brilliant.
Great book that gives you a total climbing overview of the fantastic Lofoten area. The section with the walking, "tinderangling" trips is also good value for money. Can't wait to return next summer. We are even so inspired by this book, and of course the area, that we are considering putting together Climb & Sail tours with http://www.explorenorth.no so that even more climbing enthusiasts can experience the area.
The word that comes to mind when summing up this book is "perfect." We can't imagine how another guidebook formula could make a complex climbing area easier to navigate or more enticing to visit. From the overview maps to the tabbed sections to the quality and quantity of route line photos — all in exquisite color and often highlighted with action shots — this book completely demystifies a set of granite encrusted islands off the Norwegian coast. With this book in hand, all the adventure will come from the climbing, none from figuring out where the climbs are.
I haven't used the book on that many routes, but for the routes I did this summer the information was spot on, and everyone I've talked to agree on this. The layout is fantastic! Overall one of the very best guidebooks I have used. Very inspiring. I did a photocopy of the topo and a printout from the information on this database for the long routes I did.
I reckon the best guidebook that I have ever seen. I used to think the Rockfax style was too busy and distracting for me, but this is a total masterpiece – big up to Chris and Thorbjørn and the rest of the Rockfax crew in the UK and the support Norwegian writers.
Great book. Well done. Fantastic production. Like the article by the slovenian chap who tried to repeat my route. When he asked me about it, he gave me the impression that he was a strong climber. Those Brits eh….

(UNION STAR, Mo.) Football took a one year hiatus from Union Star in 2011, but the program returns to the 8-man world this season.
Already a struggling program that has not had a record at or above the .500 mark in nearly a decade, the Trojans did not have enough players on the roster to field a team.
The numbers are back up in 2012 with 12 players filling out the depth chart. The renewal of the program was enough to pull Ken Boatwright out of retirement.
Boatwright's found success coaching in Arizona, Alaska and Wyoming, and he helped revive the football program at Southwest Livingston. He brings the same intentions to Union Star.
"We don't just want to compete, we want to try to win, and I wouldn't have accepted the job had it not been for the idea that we want to win the football game," Boatwright said. "We're not out there just to wear a uniform. We want to play to a high level."
Playing at a high level will not come easy for the Trojans with just four reserves waiting on the sidelines, but it is a point of pride for the students to represent the school despite the numbers.
"People look at us and say that 12, that's no one participating, but when there's 20-some guys in high school, that's pretty good participation," senior lineman Ryan Hutchcraft said.
And according to Boatwright, all 12 bring a blue-collar mentality to practice.
"Each of those kids comes with a purpose everyday, and they try to get better," Boatwright said. "They realize that we're not deep in numbers, so each of them kind of takes it on as a personal burden. And I think intrinsically, they just want to do more."
Taking a year off from football has set the Trojans back, and the team knows they have a lot of work ahead of them to get back to respectability.
"A couple of us have to shake off some rust and stuff, but I think we're picking up," Hutchcraft said "We're headed in the right direction."
Union Star hopes that direction is toward the program's first season with a .500 record since 2003.
Boatwright's sending a simple message to his team in order to get there.
"Let's change the culture. Let's change the idea that we're just out here competing, and know we want to win."
The Trojans open the season on the road August 31st at Southwest Livingston.

Paul confers the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands—He preaches and works many miracles—The sons of Sceva fail to cast out devils by exorcism—The worshippers of Diana (Artemis) raise a tumult against Paul.

|In response to Re: venting a laundry tub basin/pump
: Terry:
: My house drains to a septic system. The basement laundry room is lower than the main sanitary line that makes its way to the septic system. The laundry tub drain is connected to a a pump which (when the switch is turned on)pumps it up and connects into the sanitary line to the septic. When the pump is turned on the water drains out of the tub very slowly. Initially, i have suspected a faulty pump (we just recently purchased the home and the pump looks old and not well maintained. However, in browsing your site, I now think it may be a venting problem. The closest vent stack is about 10 feet away and takes off from the main sanitary line up through the house immediately below the basement ceiling/floor joists, so it is tough to connect into (and i am not certain if that would be a proper venting connection anyway). To make using the laundry tub easier i want to connect it to a small basin which sits next to the tub and has a sump pump in it and connects up to the sanitary line. This basin appears to have a third hole in it which i suspect is for some kind of vent pipe connection. I have seen you refer to the Studor air emitter valve. Would this be an option for my set up rather than a more involved venting hook-up?

Yes, Madara and Izuna read the tablet with their sharingans at first, learned about the mangekyo sharingan and gained that. Then they could read more and probably learned about the rinnegan then.
Now, Sasuke only read the tablet using his sharingan. As far as I know, he never came back to Konoha after he got his mangekyo. So he hasn't read the tablet for years now. The only way he could learn of the rinnegan without the tablet would have been from Tobi or Orochimaru. But I doubt Orochimaru talked about it, cause Sasuke would have easily been interested in it.

Clawson Town recently held a dedication ceremony for their park. The park is still a work in progress and much has been done and there are still many things that need to be completed.
The restrooms are being constructed. The city hall is also under expansion to make more room for community gatherings and give the town council a larger meeting place.
The new plaque at the park was unveiled. The park is dedicated to the memory of Clay Gasser affectionately known as Gozzo. While Gozzo was alive, the park was a dream of his for the children of Clawson to have a place of their own to play.
Connie Allen, city recorder, said even when Gozzo was suffering from his illness he would come by the town hall to see what he could do to help out at the park. Allen said, "This monument is special and should be treated with respect. Clay worked hard getting this park put together. He would come by to get parts even when he was sick and I would tell him to go home and rest. He would say, no, he wanted to get the park done. This is a special place in honor of Clay."
Clawson Mayor Carrie Bloomer said, "Clay was at the park every day and he had his heart in it."
The park is called Gozzo Park in memory of Clay Gasser who gave so much to the establishment of the new park.
The park includes toys for the children to play on. A cement court for basketball and tennis and a pavilion with picnic tables and a grassy area for games.
The Gasser family gathered around the plaque to remember Gozzo.
Clay Gasser passed away in June, 2006 from cancer. He along with his wife Christy raised four children in Clawson. He was an active member of the LDS church. Gozzo was a longtime employee of Consol Emery Mine.
Gozzo loved the time he spent with his family and they hunted, camped, fished, planted the garden and enjoyed being together as a family. He was 50 years old at the time of his passing. The people of Clawson will never forget the contributions Gozzo made to the community.

Western Digital has revealed a 1TB 7mm drive called the WD Blue, which analysts claim will allow notebook manufacturers to design notebooks that are slim, but still pack a large drive.
The new product comes as Sandisk gets set
to launch a new 128GB SD card that doubles the size of an Ultrabook drive.
Described as the world's thinnest hard
drive, the device has already been picked up by PC manufacturers who are keen
to lure users back to using a notebook over a tablet.
PC sales in Australia have dropped
significantly this year, with 1.21 million units sold in the first quarter of
2013, according to new figures released by research Company IDC.
In Australia, there were 1.07 units sold
during the quarter, representing a 21 per cent year-on-year decline.
Tiffany Huang, BG president, PC global
operations for Acer, who saw a 38% decline in Australian sales last year, said: "With the release of WD's 1 TB capacity in a 7mm hard drive height, Acer
customers now have the best of both options and no longer have to choose
between the lightness of thin, sleekly-designed systems or those with high
capacity storage."
Acer reported a $5m loss for the year ending December 2012.
The new hard drive offers the following:
Shock Tolerance: WD's ShockGuard technology
protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shock.
Cool and Quiet: WD's proprietary
WhisperDrive technology helps the drive to run quietly)
Dual Stage Actuators: This comes from the
company's high-performance commercial industry products and the company says
this technology utilizes two actuators to provide positional accuracy over data
