Obito may have completely absorbed the Zetsu suit. At least half of Obito's body is a Zetsu at this point, so absorbing the Zetsu Suit and beefing up is not so outlandish.
If Obito does keep the Suit, then this could help explain the rest of the questions about how Obito changes into Tobi. Assuming that the suit has Uchiha Madara's Mental Energies and some of his knowledge, it would easily explain how Tobi could claim to be Madara and how he would know so much information that only Madara should know.
Guess I am slowly becoming a CONVERT to Obito=Tobi = For real, and not incredulous.
(I still feel like Kishi has violated the memory of the only known good hearted Uchiha (not counting Shisui). I wonder if there is any of the Good, decent kid still left inside Tobi)

Richard Blurton, British Museum
Fine bronze sculptures of the gods of Hinduism were produced in the Chola period in southern India for use as processional images. These portable representations of the gods could be taken from the temple, dressed and decked with garlands, and then paraded through the streets, enabling all to have a beneficial view of them. Within the temple itself, images of the Hindu deities, such as Vishnu, Shiva and Durga, were venerated in images of stone and these never left the sanctuary. However, bronze images, such as this one of Shiva, Lord of the Dance, could easily be carried on platforms and paraded through the streets by devotees. Processions carrying such images and with many thousands of participants, are still a feature of south Indian temple festivals in towns such as Madurai and Chidambaram.
Lord Shiva is depicted in this famous dance form as the deity at the extremes of time, the lord who crushes ignorance underfoot and who ushers out one cycle of existence and dances in a new one. In Indian lore, time is cyclical and made up of endless iterations and this image shows the god at the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next.
The dance of Shiva at this moment of dissolution and of creation, is conceived of as full of wild movement. The dreadlocks of the god (usually discreetly tied up on top of his head) fly out unchecked around him, providing some indication of the fury of his circular dance – though one foot is, nevertheless held up for his devotees to shelter beneath. The flame he holds in his upper left hand represents the destruction at the end of one cycle, while the sound of the drum in his upper right brings in the new cycle. Not for nothing has this image of the god, full of cosmic symbolism, become the one that people internationally associate with Hinduism.
This was first published in the London Evening Standard on 22 November 2012.
The Shiva Nataraja is on display in Room 33: China, South Asia and Southeast Asia

Early Acura models like the Integra and Legend offered car shoppers a substantial upgrade in terms of quality and driving dynamics in comparison to their Honda stablemates, the Civic and Accord. While Acura started with only two models, the brand has grown to include the standard fare of most auto manufacturers including hybrids, sedans, coupes, SUVs, sport wagons, and hatchbacks. All of these vehicles range in price from the late $20k range through the mid to late 40s. This allows Acura to appeal to a wide variety of buyers who might otherwise be turned off from the more expensive luxury imports whose entry-level models start at $34-37k.
Acura's flagship model, the Acura RL, features the latest technological advancements in safety and drivetrain layouts, including their highly-touted i-VTEC cam timing system and SH-AWD system which concurrently provides both safety and performance. The mid-level TL offers two different engine options: a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder. Rounding out the sedans (Acura does not offer a coupe), the ILX gives buyers a reliable hybrid option which provides improved fuel efficiency versus the standard 4-cylinder engine. The ZDX is a sporty, stylish coupe option, while the MDX and RDX present two different SUV sizes and body styles. All-wheel-drive is available on most models.
Going forward Acura continues to produce high-quality, reliable and stylish vehicles. Based on many Honda platforms, the 2013 Acura lineup features the reliability one associates with Honda, with an additional boost of both performance and legacy from racing-inspired engines, suspension systems and aerodynamics. Acura's calling card as of late is the integration of bleeding-edge in-car technology, from its award-winning navigation to its sublime premium audio systems. These attributes combine to create a vehicles that will reward its' owners for years to come.

We examine that will happen if the scores are level after 80 minutes in this weekend's Super Rugby semi-finals.
The Chiefs, Crusaders, Bulls and Brumbies are vying for a place in the Super Rugby Final this weekend. But what happens if the scores are level after 80 minutes?
If the scores are tied at full-time in any match during the Finals Series, the following will apply until a winner is found:
a. Extra Time – after a five minute rest period, extra time is played in two 10 minute periods with a two minute half-time.
b. Sudden Death – if the match is still tied at the end of extra time, an up to 10 minute sudden death period is played after another five minute rest period and the first team to score (by a penalty goal, drop-goal or try) will be the winner.
c. Kicking Competition – if the match is still tied at the end of sudden death, the Referee will conduct a place kicking competition to determine the winner of the match.

Skip to comments.Rush likens pedophilia normalization to gay marriage
Posted on 01/07/2013 2:32:46 PM PST by ColdOne
Rush Limbaugh said Monday that there is a movement to normalize pedophilia, and referenced the push for same sex marriage while also discussing the Jimmy Savile and Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandals.
There is a movement on to normalize pedophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage, the conservative commentator said on his radio program Monday, according to a show transcript. What has happened to gay marriage? Its become normal and in fact, with certain people in certain demographics its the most important issue in terms of who they vote for.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Overtons' Window
Ask anyone back in the 1970's if homosexuality would ever become mainstream where most of today's sitcoms would involve homosexuals and if homosexuals would be granted marriage rights and you would have had a fight on your hands........
I think Rush coined a term: Defining deviancy down.........something like that
much of the same people promote it
allowing adults to have sex with kids will just make homo recruitment that much easier
To his credit, that phrase was coined by Sen. Dan Moynihan.
Talk about setting real, deep-seated horrors in motion. Bamit and Jennings.......my dear Lord. They have a thing for children?
I heard this on Rush today (my white noise) and thought I was going to crack a couple of molars. Had to get up and walk a bit.
Leftist operatives listen to and record every word on Rush's show. After the show they discuss if there's anything they can roast him on.
I hope the left makes a big issue out of this. They will be proving that they support evil and perversion.
In the leftist "mind" condemning evil is the worst thing in the world.
This issue will divide the libertarians some for, some against.
Perceptions aside, Rush Limbaugh has a point here. While I would not compare to two things as being equally horrific, since pedophilia cannot be consensual, whereas adult homosexuality can, there is a common bond between pedophiles, homosexuals, zoophiles, people who want to marry men's wear mannequins, etc.
All of them exist outside the western relationship orthodoxy, which is one man, one woman. Rush is making the point that society's recognition of gay marriage is a step on the road to normalizing pedophilia, because we are essentially normalizing those who do not belong to the orthodoxy in the name of "acceptance". He is right.
That's true, and Rush did credit Moynihan from time to time - Rush' show is how I knew it was Moynihan who first coined it in fact.
Yeah, they're ALL a bunch of disease-ridden, boy-raping whack-jobs.
One Obama voter expressed her contempt during our training class at work for anyone that voted for Romney this way:
"I don't understand anyone being so SELFISH as to prevent someone from expressing love to whomever they choose."
I think what Rush did was compare the "normalization" to gay marriage to the "normalization to pedophilia.
I think what Rush did was compare the "normalization" to gay marriage to the "normalization to pedophilia.
Sorry about the double post.
Defining deviancy down has been going on for decades. It started with the disintegration of the sanctity of marriage thanks to the easing of divorce laws. No fault divorce was but the first nail in morality's coffin.
That was followed by the sexual revolution and the removal of shame. Men and women are no longer expected to,save themselves for marriage. The age of "If it feels good, do it" has lead to where we are today.
I can just see the future stories in a few years:
"Twisted pedophobe mother jailed for tying to prevent 8-year-old daughter from having sex with 65-year-old neighbor."
That most certainly was not Rush.
It may not have been coined by him but he's used the term many times over the years..........
Moynihan might have been the last decent Democrat.....
The Pedophilia issue is the redline that should start a new American revolution. As soon as congress or the Supreme Court strikes down all laws against it....that is when the fighting should start. The defense of our families and children should be paramount. That is the hill to die on!
And Hollyweird with their unwed "baby bumps" is applauded & so acceptable. They have no shame. Bring back shunning!
The moral, the Christians, the Jews will become the target any act a perverted and degenerate mind can imagine. But that is what the people say they want.
Nature will not have a vacuum, as good is pushed out, evil moves in.
I hated the guy on gun rights and liberal spending, but he was at least a decent human being. Wish he'd passed that along to Chris Matthews.

Exeter boss Rob Baxter has made four changes to his starting XV for Saturday's Heineken Cup clash at Clermont Auvergne.
Exeter boss Rob Baxter has made four changes to his starting XV for Saturday's Heineken Cup clash with Clermont Auvergne at Stade Marcel Michelin.
Amongst the backs, there are two changes with Kiwi centre Jason Shoemark coming in for Ian Whitten and Kevin Barrett replaces Haydn Thomas, who is sidelined with a head injury.
Up front, captain Tom Hayes replaces Dean Mumm at lock and James Scaysbrook takes over from Ben White at blindside flank.
The Chiefs will head into the game having not won in their last three Premiership fixtures, the last of which was Saturday's first loss in the league at Sandy Park to visiting Northampton Saints.
Despite the setback, Exeter boss Rob Baxter remains positive that his side is continuing to show signs of improvement and that it is only "small margins" which are ultimately costing his side.
Having suffered their first loss of the season on home soil to the Frenchmen back in October, the Chiefs know their hosts – who defeated reigning champions Leinster back to back last month – will again be formidable foes.
The Premiership club have again viewed closely their display in the 46-12 loss to Vern Cotter's side at Sandy Park – and Baxter is hopeful lessons have been learnt, especially after the two sides were locked at 12-all at the interval.
"I think what we learned from that game is that if you don't tackle them, they'll run in tries against you," he said.
"I think we learnt the hard way that night. That said, when we controlled possession in the game, we looked dangerous and caused them one or two problems.
"As I said, we've looked at the game again this week and for 50 minutes we were very much in the game.
"It was kind of ironic that the try that changed the game was pretty soft, as the ball shot out the side of one of our attacking rucks, they pounced on the loose ball and then set up for a guy to have a clear run in on the blind-side.
"That hurt us a little bit and we didn't really recover quickly enough from that.
"Also we ended up finishing the game with both of our nines injured and people not in recognised positions.
"A side like Clermont will expose that sort of things and they showed just how dangerous they could be.
"We will go over there this weekend knowing what we have to do, but there are lots of teams who have gone there knowing what to do, but still come unstuck.
"An element of our plan has to be to try and get in their faces, break them up as much as we can, whilst at the same time trying to force our game on them.
"That's the challenge for us, so we'll see how we go."
Meanwhile, Clermont have made just two changes to their run-on side that beat Montpellier in a Top 14 encounter last weekend.
Regan King replaces fellow New Zealander Benson Stanley at outside centre while Jamie Cudmore takes over from Julien Pierre at lock.
Clermont head into this match with an eight-point lead at the top of the Pool Five standings after their memorable 28-21 win over the defending champions, Leinster at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in their last group match.
The Top 14 outfit are one of only three teams – Harlequins and Toulon are the others – who are still unbeaten in the competition.
The teams:
ASM Clermont Auvergne: 15 Jean-Marcel Buttin, 14 Sitiveni Sivivatu, 13 Regan King, 12 Wesley Fofana, 11 Napolioni Nalaga, 10 Brock James, 9 Morgan Parra, 8 Damien Chouly, 7 Julien Bardy, 6 Julien Bonnaire, 5 Nathan Hines, 4 Jamie Cudmore, 3 Davit Zirakashvili, 2 Benjamin Kayser, 1 Thomas Domingo.
Replacements: 16 Ti'i Paulo, 17 Vincent Debaty, 18 Daniel Kotze, 19 Loic Jacquet, 20 Alexandre Lapandry, 21 Ludovic Radoslavjevic , 22 David Skrela, 23. Benson Stanley.

Scotts® EZ Seed® Patch & Repair Sun and Shade is the revolutionary seeding mix that guarantees seeding success and makes it possible to grow grass anywhere.
1. PREP - Simply prepare the area you want to grow grass. Remove dead grass and loosen hard soil to help tiny seedlings root.
2. APPLY - Evenly apply EZ Seed® so the area is mostly covered, but bare ground is still visible. (Use half as much for thin areas). Only apply the recommended amount so that seedlings have enough space to access water and nutrients.
3. WATER - A deep and thorough initial watering is the key to success. Gently water the area until EZ Seed® is completely saturated and no more water is being absorbed (this may take several minutes). Continue to water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.
Click Here for the EZ Seed® 3 Steps to Success video and to learn more.
Fall and Spring are the best times to plant EZ Seed® because the seed germinates best when daytime temperatures are between 60°F and 80°F.

Group: Modern Life Modern Vision
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Boulevard des Capucines
Date Made: 1873
Lender: Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri
Credit Line: Acquired through the Kenneth A. and Helen F. Spencer Acquisition Fund
There are two paintings of this view from the studio of the photographer, Nadar. This one shows that Monet used the Japanese mobile viewpoint to embody the fragmentary, yet dynamic modern experiences of space as the eye plunges into the deep channel of the crowded street, and seeks to disentangle the clues to the complex visual experiences given by a myriad detached brushstrokes. Fragmentation is also created by the double perspective thrust formed by the apartment blocks on the left and by the line of wintry trees and snow-topped cabs in the middle of the composition. This unusual off-centre perspective could owe something to another Hiroshige print in Monet's collection,Sudden shower over Ohashi Bridge and Atake, where the bridge, seen from above, cuts across the river in strong counterpoint to the tree-covered distant shore. The cool tone given by the rain drenching the pedestrians is similar to the icy atmosphere in the Boulevard des Capucines. Monet has also isolated his figures on the snow-covered pavements, but his brushstrokes fuse them into groups, just as a crowd melds the movements of many individuals.

Um... not sure if this question is the same with the question 'more sig pic' but I'll just ask anyway.
I think it is not enough that we're only allowed 2 picture. because there will be a lot of Fan club later on with lovely sig/button that we can post at our sig to show our membership. So, it'll be trouble some if we can only have two pictures per sig.
So I suggest what if we're only allowed only 2 Pictures that will be showed in our sig... but if someone some more he/she can put the picture in a spoiler so it won't effect the loading of the page. Can it be done? Pleasse?

As much as anything, Indiana's recent slide is a fitting representation of how this college basketball season has gone.
CHICAGO — The post-loss question to Victor Oladipo on Saturday: How confident are you that Indiana is playing its best basketball, with the NCAA tournament imminent?
"A little bit.''
GAME STORY: Wisconsin handles Indiana again
Not exactly the ringing endorsement you'd want to hear from one of your stars on Selection Sunday Eve, was it?
But any mixed feelings are understandable, what with the Hoosiers' recent meanderings. Fact is, Indiana has become a perfect symbol for this season.
You ... just ... don't ... know. You wonder if there is any reason to wonder.
You wonder about the 3-3 record the past six games. No. 1-seeded teams seldom finish in a zig-zag pattern.
Though Cody Zeller noted, "It's the Big Ten. Teams have gone on losing streaks. It's bound to happen eventually. We don't worry about it too much.''
You wonder about that 68-56 thumping Saturday against Wisconsin, which has become to the Hoosiers what a windshield is to a bug. This made 12 Badger wins in a row. That hasn't even happened in football. Though as Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said, "There are just things in this game where no matter how you try to explain them, they defy explanation or reason.''
You wonder if Indiana is playing up to the No. 1 seeding it will almost certainly still get Sunday. Though coach Tom Crean said of this latest loss, "It doesn't undo what we have done to this point. It doesn't undo any of that. We have had an excellent season. There's room for growth, there's no doubt about that.''
Perfectly correct. But so was Oladipo when he mentioned, "We've got to bounce back. Real fast.
"If you lose in the tournament, that's it. You go home. There is no other game. There is no second game. There's no nothing. You've got to lock in.''
A No. 1 seed in a region would still be reasonable for 27-6 Indiana. The Hoosiers did win the Big Ten regular-season title, and they did beat a gaggle of ranked opponents, and they were as good on the road as nearly anyone, and they were No. 1 much of the year.
But to be kept in their home region ahead of Louisville, and given the right to play the second week at Hoosier-friendly Indianapolis? Why is that automatic?
This has been a famously screwball season, but it would still seem odd to see a six-loss team get the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. Louisville rallied to take the Big East tournament Saturday night and has five defeats, its lone setback in the previous 14 games in five overtimes at Notre Dame. The Cardinals are less than a two-hour drive from Indianapolis. They wouldn't mind being sent there, either. And they should be.
What about all that seeding business? The issue did not seem to be captivating the Indiana locker room after the latest painful run-in with Wisconsin.
"Whatever. We need to get back in the gym,'' Remy Abell said.
"I don't know how they do stuff like that,'' Oladipo said.
"We don't have any control over that now. So just sit and watch it, I guess,'' Zeller said.
More pertinent was the way Wisconsin imposed its defensive will again on the Hoosiers. Of Indiana's woes, Crean said, "they are all correctable.''
It must be mentioned that conference tournament results are notoriously unreliable as NCAA tournament predictors. By Sunday night, once the pairings are released, they are as forgotten as old license plate numbers. And Indiana's record at the end might be just a reflection of how arduous life is this season in the Big Ten. The daily grind gets to everyone. The Hoosiers also have recently won at Michigan and Michigan State.
This is not a team in crisis, just a No. 1 seed with questions. And there is no room now for wrong answers.
"We can play better,'' Crean said. "We will play better. We have played better, and we are going to find out next week.''
Here's the good news for Indiana. It won't have to be against Wisconsin.

Utah lawmakers have established the Office of Coal Mine Safety in the Utah Labor Commission. The office will be headed by a director appointed by the Labor Commissioner. The legislation establishing the new office is the by-product of the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster which claimed the lives of six miners last Aug. 6, along with three others killed 10 days later while they attempted to rescue their fellow workers.
Three weeks after the mine collapse, the Governor appointed an eight-member Utah Mine Safety Commission charging it with the duty to assess the state's role in coal mine safety, accident prevention, and emergency response.
The Mine Safety Commission included distinguished academics, Senator Mike Dmitrich and Representative Kay McIff of the Utah Legislature, representatives of the mining community, Mayors Gordon and Piccolo from Huntington and Price, as well as former United States Senator Jake Garn.
The Commission had the advice and assistance of agency staff and technical experts from around the country. The Commission also heard from the public at hearings held in Utah's coal country and in Salt Lake City.
The Mine Safety Commission issued its report on Jan. 23 of this year. Senate Bill 224 sponsored by Dmitrich in the Senate and McIff in the House is the outgrowth of the January 23 report. The purpose of SB 224 is to provide a statutory framework and authority to implement the Commission's recommendations.
The Act explicitly states a legislative intent to maximize coal mine safety, prevent coal mine accidents, and provide for effective coal mine accident response.
To accomplish that legislative intent, SB 224 establishes an Office of Coal Mine Safety in the Utah Labor Commission as a means of coordinating Utah's efforts to promote coal mine safety, with specific attention to: a system of reporting conditions in coal mines that may be dangerous, with protection against retaliation for individuals who make such reports; cooperation with educational and other organizations; coal miner certification and recertification programs; establishing a relationship with the federal Mine Health and Safety Administration to allow state participation in MSHA's regulation, inspection, and plan approval systems; and development of emergency response and communication plans.
The legislation also establishes a Coal Mine Technical Advisory Council. This Council will, for the first time, bring together individuals with experience in Utah's coal mining industry, academic experts, emergency service providers, and government representatives. The Council will apply its expertise to advise the Labor Commission and the Legislature on ways to improve coal mine safety and accident response.
B 224 also contains provisions dealing with coal miner certification. Many of these provisions represent a recodification of existing law. They emphasize the importance of having a well-trained workforce with a "safety-first" mentality. It is anticipated that the College of Eastern Utah will play a key role in miner training and certification.
Finally, the legislation charts a conservative course that allows Utah to work with and supplement the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration rather than duplicate it.
The Act contemplates adding a second set of eyes in areas where the danger is greatest and a second set of ears to the concerns of experienced miners and others who live with safety issues on an ongoing basis.

I was joking in the Naruto thread about the shinobi leaping around like Doomsday... But dying over and over again only to come back stronger each and everytime is exactly like Doomsday, not that I mind. It's worth noting that Doomsday ended up killing his creator in the end too.
Imagine a return of Celebrity Deathmatch with Kenpachi Vs Doomsday.
Okay One more Blind Stab at this. What if Unohana was the Source and Originator of the Bankai stealing/sealing Jutsu that Quincies/Juha Bach are now using. What If she had sealed his Bankai at their first fight, that could explain why Kenpachi can not Hear the voice of his Sword or do Bankai. What if this is the "Sin" commited since it has lead to Yamamoto Genrusai's death, What if that Bankai was why she said that the Old Kenpachi did'nt give her a chance to play around with fancy moves?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
In case anyone missed the reference Aizen also said Fear was an important part of evolution and that's why he kept Gin around as he always knew he would betray him.
Also she didn't stab his neck Kenpachi just fell forward and the sword was to the side of him.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
1) Kenpachi disarmed with his sword at a distance
2) Unohana's sword Poking through Kenpachi's hair at the back of his head
3) Kenpachi spits/coughs out blood
4) Blood from Kenpachi splatters on Unohana's face.
5) Suddenly, KenpaCHI HAS HIS SWORD BACK.
Obviously, Kenpachi was stabbed, something is happening that Kenpachi is not aware of, and Unohana is playing him along.

I find it a little amusing that Zaraki, the most battle-hungry guy in the Gotei 13, spent hundreds of years serving as a Captain next to Unohana, the person he's wanted to fight against the most for the longest time, and (presumably) not once challenged her to a fight during that time. That's quite the amazing amount of self control, if you ask me. Must have been difficult for him to look at her with a straight face all the time during the Captain meetings lol.
Also, may be late on this, and it's completely irrelevant, but with last chapter's revealing of the scars, it just donned on me why Unohana sported that big front braid all the time. I'M SO SLOW!!!
chapter is good. it seems that Zaraki won't die, and I hope Unohana will survive too.

|In response to Re: Intermittent flushing
: The toilet in my house exhibits the same problem as one of the earlier posts, it does not always flush all of the contents in the bowl. I did everything you suggested and found no ubstruction in the toilet itself. While I had the toilet out in the yard I placed it across a couple of 2x4's and filled the tank several times. It would flush properly every other time. Feeling that this was an improvement and being at a loss as to what to do next, I reinstalled the toilet. It is now back to it's old behavior, flushing properly perhaps one in ten times.
: The drains in the house all work fine. I checked the stink pipe to see if there was an ubstruction there, no. I ran large volumes of water down the toilet drain...no problems. The toilet is not that old...about twenty years...and seems to be in fine shape. I also replaced the fill valve...the old one was working but looked as though it was on it's last legs. What next?

So cute... but sadly awkward fit
"I fell in love with these shoes the instant I saw them, and even more so when they arrived in the mail, but sadly, I won't be keeping them.They're cut very low, so you have toe cleavage galore, and yet the opening leaves hardly any room for your toes to "peep." Plus there's a strange amount of the platform that still protrudes ahead of my toes, so the shoe looks like it's a tad too big, even though it fits quite snugly (it runs a bit narrow).I'm convinced that these are the cutest shoes I have ever seen, but unfortunately, because of the awkward fit, I'm afraid I have to part with them."

D.C. Taxicab Commission says Uber charges illegal tips
The D.C. Taxicab Commission says taxi and sedan service Uber is charging an automatic 20 percent tip on cab rides booked through its app or website, a practice the agency says is illegal, but one they can't do anything about, the Washington Examiner reported.
The District's top taxi regulator, Ron Linton, told cabbies last month that Uber shouldn't be doing that and that he had asked them to stop. Uber says it doesn't think the automatic tip is illegal.

Comments: I bought these shoes after I was suffering from shin splints in preseason training for track. I was doing about 35 miles a week in ASICS I got about a month into XC season, so it was high time to get new shoes. I ordered these Triumphs and I LOVE them. I had raced in Saucony Mirages for XC last year after a heel injury from my spikes, so I knew I liked the brand. The Triumphs fit my wide, flat feet really well although I had to lace them up pretty tightly. I ordered a 10.5, my usual size, but they ran much larger than I was expecting. I would order a half-size to a full-size down. But the ride is very smooth, and the color (pink and highlighter yellow) is fantastic! All my teammates have given me compliments on them. I would definitely order them again.
From: Mallory, Campbellsville, KY, USA. April 8th 2014
Comments: I do a lot of intense indoor plyometric type workouts and not very much outdoor running. I have had these shoes for about 7 months. I have purchased Saucony in the past to help correct my supination. I ordered my usual size and they fit perfectly. These shoes have two major downsides: 1) The heel felt like there was no cushion at all, which caused me to buy an insole. 2) The traction is terrible and only lasted a few workouts before I was sliding all over the place.
From: Leah, PA, USA
Comments: I aways order Saucony. I had a problem with size variances a few years ago and it happened again with this shoe. My normal size is squishing me in the forefront of the shoe, both lengthwise and width. I am disappointed with the inconsistency because now I don't have shoes to wear for the trip I have planned.
From: Debra, Ashburn, VA, USA

Canadian women still in contention in beach volleyball at Universiade
SHENZHEN, China (CIS) – The Canadian women are still in contention at the first-ever Universiade beach volleyball tournament held at the picturesque venue of Dameisha Seaside Park, while the last Canadian men's team was ousted from the competition on Tuesday.
In the men's tourney, the Canada 1 squad of Cameron Wheelan of Barrie, Ont., and Simon Fecteau-Boutin of Lévis, Que., suffered its second defeat of the double-elimination second round, losing to the Czech Republic 21-19, 21-15.
The Canada 2 duo of François-Guy Allaire of Notre-Dame-du-Laus, Que., and Michael Plantingua of Langley, B.C., had been eliminated on Monday.
"We finished the tournament with a 4-2 record. The weather was super hot but we were able to pull through it," Wheelan said. "On an international level, I think countries are starting to take notice of Canadian teams in beach volleyball."
On the women's side, both Canadian pairs are still in the thick of things.
Caleigh Whitaker of Sharon, Ont., and Kristina Valjas of Toronto, who make up Canada 1, rallied from a set down to beat USA 1 by 17-21, 21-10, 15-7 in the morning match, improving their overall record to 4-0 in the process. In the afternoon however, the teammates lost for the first time this week, a 22-24, 21-19, 16-14 heartbreaker to Italy.
The Pool C first-place finishers will resume second-round play on Wednesday.
"We are in our first year as at team and we are getting better and better the more we play together," commented Valjas.
The Canada 2 squad of Kristina Vlcek of Toronto and Becky Billings of Ottawa also lost its first match of the elimination round on Tuesday, a 23-21, 21-10 defeat to Slovakia 2 in its lone outing of the day.
"I think it is challenging at an international tournament in this kind of climate, and our athletes have worked hard to cope with the heat," said Canadian head coach Dolphin Kasper. "They still played with the style that we trained for, which is to be aggressive and push our opponents."

Every day brings a new 50th-anniversary-of-the-Beatles story, and Tuesday's offering concerns their first live concert in the United States -- which took place in Washington, D.C., so naturally there's a political angle.
The thousands of teenagers who packed the old Washington Coliseum on the night of Feb. 11, 1964, included a future vice president who very nearly became president: Al Gore.
"I'll never forget going to see John, Paul, George and Ringo rock the Washington Coliseum,' Gore tweeted on Tuesday. "Truly an amazing experience."
The Washington Post published an oral history of that concern that included testimony from Gore, who was less than two months shy of his 16th birthday at the time.
Gore, the son of a senator, pointed out that the Beatles' concert before a little more than 8,000 at the tiny coliseum came just two nights after their legendary performance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
"The acoustics in the arena combined with the absolute frenzy of enthusiasm made it virtually impossible to understand a single word that they sang," Gore said. "You had to listen carefully to get the general flow of the song, and of course everybody knew all the words prior to the concert."
The future vice president who lost the disputed 2000 election to George W. Bush added: "We all loved their music, but clearly there were a lot of people in that crowd who loved it even more than I did because they couldn't stop screaming. I'm thrilled that iTunes [got] the film of that concert, because I'll get to hear the words clearly for the first time."

Came out same day to fix it, very friendly professional service. Cannot recommend enough. Will definitely use him again.
Turned up early, no messing job done. Very thankful as we have had a lot of time wasters regarding this job so thank you very much Matt. Highly recc
Price agreed on-line prior to work. Very happy with the work (2 front springs fitted). Took Matt a couple of hours to do the job outside my house, so it saved the hassle of having the car towed to a garage and work carried out there. I never had any competitor quotes, as I felt the quote was very reasonable. Would use again and recommend to others. Car even feels better to drive! Thanks Matt.
Great service. Car now running a lot better.
Mark was friendly and professional - very knowledgeable - job done very soon after posting add - would highly recommend to anyone needing a mobile mechanic - why wouldn't you want your car fixing outside your own home??! A***********
Great pick up and drop off service. Made things very easy. Fault was rectified at a good price. Will certainly use again in the future!
Work was completed before expected. Great pick up and drop off service. The work completed was done to a high standard as well as a full explanation for the work that needed to be done and how much it'd cost. I would definitely recommend to anyone!
Excelllent service. They were able to arrange a call out at short notice and fixed my car n the drive. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Excellent service. Fixed on the drive - really convenient - and charged exactly as quoted despite being a tricky job in the end. Good advice on an issue with my wife's car too. Offers a pick-up and drop-back service for bigger jobs. Will definitely use again.
Yes no hesitation would go back
Great work, friendly staff and reasonable price. definitely would recommend them and Will use them again myself in the future
My car was checked by one of their mechanics, it was due to have brake pads done, after about half an hour sat in the waiting room a mechanic came to see me and said I also need new disks and something else to do with the braking system, I asked him some questions as to why and he just laughed at me, I Asked him to put it back together and that I would go elsewhere, he then laughed at me again and put it all back together. Once the car was taken outside the mechanic then said I should wait in case I had to pay for the work, I said I wouldn't be paying anything as no work has been done and drove I drove off. I literally drove half a Mile down the round to another garage, asked them To look at my car and they had the pads swapped and done in about 45 minutes for £75. The whole experience was quite bizarre. I don't appreciate being laughed at when I'm asking someone about my car and what work was supposebly needed. The other garage confirmed it was just the pads that needed doing
Car still not fixed but only because ran out of time with the check. Will be booking in again soon for more thorough inspection. good service and friendly helpful staff
Garage was not used.
Very happy with the work done, cheaper than all the other local garages around me, would happily recommend.
Fantastic service would highly recommend

Five thoughts: They wouldn't, would they?
Ryan Lambert
June 20 2012 07:58AM
1. I've seen everything. I've seen it all.
Darren Dreger has a habit of dropping bombshell shockers this time of year (see also: that hilarious Ondrej Pavelec contract demand) but one of particular interest to Flames fans this week was the revelation that the Flames would be open to trading Jay Bouwmeester and Mikael Backlund.
I'm sorry, what?
I think everyone here would be fine if the Flames offloaded a guy like Bouwmeester because, despite the fact that he eats minutes and is generally given a pretty rough go of things matchups-wise, he simply doesn't play the kind of hockey commensurate to his fourth-among-defensemen cap hit. It would be a tough sell to get someone to take his deal, admittedly.
And that, I imagine, is why Backlund has been lumped into the mix. The only thing I can think of for why this team would trade Backlund — which by the way would be the very definition of selling low given he scored four goals thanks to some truly terrible luck and was hurt all season — is that he is intended to lure teams into taking the Bouwmeester contract off Jay Feaster's hands. Don't know how well it will work, obviously, but do know for sure it would be a very shortsighted solution to a two-year problem.
Backlund appears to at least be a developing top-six center, which is what the Flames are seeking, again, in their transparent and ill-advised attempt to squeeze into the playoffs so they can say they accomplished something. It's all rubbish.
2. Draft strategy?
Not surprisingly, Feaster was more than a little non-commital earlier this week when quizzed about whether the team would be willing to move in one direction or another from the No. 14 pick in Friday's first round.
The team would be willing to do either, and would be perfectly happy to stand pat. A good answer. If they feel like they could jump up a spot or two to get a guy they really like, I'm for it. If the feel of the room leads them to believe they'd get their guy a few spots lower, that's fine too. Flexibility is good, especially because you're probably not going to get game-breaking NHL talent at the No. 14 spot, at least statistically. At least the team isn't committed to going off on some half-crazed wild goose chase like they are in their pursuit of the mythical No. 1 center that will magically turn Jarome Iginla into a 27-year-old again.
I'm for that.
3. No wonder the Sabres were so mad at Lucic
Two NHL insiders had told me last year a Bobby Ryan/Jonas Hiller deal for Ryan Miller was all but done and then the Lucic incident happened.— John Boruk (@JohnBorukCSN) June 19, 2012
Well then. This might be my favorite revelation of the last decade. Imagine how terrible that deal would have been for Anaheim. Just a terrible turn of events. Giving up a 40-goal scorer and an All-Star goaltender who, admittedly, started out the year terribly, for an in-decline Ryan Miller? I'd be pissed too.
But beyond breaking the Sabres' psyche, Lucic did his own organization a huge favor by 86ing the deal altogether. Saves them the headache of facing Hiller and Ryan six times a season for the next decade.
And by the way, Bobby Ryan is back on the market for who knows what reason. Bob McKenzie noted last night that if the team were to move Ryan now, and by all indications, they very well might, they would do so for building-block type pieces that won't increase their payroll. It's like they're actively trying to be worse.
4. Gelinas returns
Because no Flames-related thing these days could ever happen without some sort of reference to 2004, look, it's Martin Gelinas.
Honestly, it's tough to get all vitriolic about anything to do with an assistant coach, but coaches and players alike seem to like him and he will have the respect in the room that comes with having played with Iginla and Kiprusoff before (it still shocks me that they're the only remaining holdovers from that team given how much everyone in Calgary acts like that entire group should be brought back every offseason).
It was an easy, PR-friendly decision, and that's not the worst thing in the world.
5. Let's talk about that Karlsson
Closing out today's column, that Erik Karlsson deal is something else, isn't it? They're basically expecting him to continue this type of production, and that'll take some significant doin'.
Karlsson was used masterfully by Paul MacLean, starting 57 percent of his shifts in the offensive zone, mostly with the Senators' best offensive players. If you think that's a thing that can happen forever, well then, okay, give him that money. But if you think, on the other hand, that you can't let a defenseman in which you just invested $44.5 million play that kind of soft minutes against so-so competition, then maybe you're asking a little too much.
Which, by the way, is just what that contract is: A little too much. Given what Sergei Gonchar is pulling from the team, he's probably right about where he should be paid, relatively, but in the grand scheme of things, I'd be worried if I was a Sens fan. The guy got a fat seven-year deal and it takes a very rare talent indeed to replicate 70 or more points over that span of time. In fact, only two defensemen in league history have scored that many that often: Ray Bourque and Paul Coffey. They had the benefit of playing in an era that was very much unlike this one, and it seems unlikely that Karlsson does the same.
Let's put in the simplest way possible: How do you give that much to a guy you don't trust in his own zone?
June 20 2012, 08:11AM
I have a really hard time believing that Miller-to ANA trade scenario was a real one. Aside from his post-vertigo blip, Hiller has been as good or better than Miller since he's been in the league. And Ryan is a legit 30+ goal scorer even playing against other top lines. That's a nonsense flip from Anaheim's perspective.
Even Kevin Lowe laughs at that deal.
But if you think, on the other hand, that you can't let a defenseman in which you just invested $44.5 million play that kind of soft minutes against so-so competition, then maybe you're asking a little too much.
Karlsson last year:
QualComp 2/6 RelCor QC 2/6 CorQC 1/6
He did get 57% ZS, but to call it against so-so competition and soft is incorrect.
He had a slightly lucky year (PDO of 1013 is a little high, but not crazy high) driven by a ONSH% of 9.58, which will probably regress a bit.
McLean deployed a PvP strategy with Kuba and Karlsson behind Spezza's line, coupled with big Ozone starts (but not Sedin level OZ starts)
If McLean stays with that strategy and Spezza continues to produce, its not unreasonable to think Karlsson will be 50+pts vs tough comp.
I think Spezza was driving the bus and Karlsson benefited greatly from it, but they did it against the toughest comp, which is pretty damn good.
June 20 2012, 08:47AM
That's true.
I have a more thorough article on why that deal is risky here.
Does anyone remember what the blackhawks got in return for Brian Campbell(going to be a similar trade to Bouwmeester)?
Rostislav Olesz, thats it and thats all. So for anyone saying "lets wait on a return before we abandon all hope for next season" No, we can abandon all hope the second the trade is announced. We can all then collectively laugh at ourselves when feaster throws out a 10 year deal at 8M per for Suter and he turns us down for a team with an actual future. But hey, LOTTERY PICK NEXT YEAR, OH YEAH!!! WE FUTURE OILERS NOW!
By throwing in backlund, instead of JUST getting Marty Reasoner, we might get Marty Reasoner AND a 3rd round pick. I can't wait for us to then NOT sign him because we have intellectual honesty about our players.
And even though we are totally intellectually honest with ourselves, we totaly believe we are going to the playoffs with a core of Iggy, Kipper, some guy from Russia and another older guy that use to play in Russia thats like his buddy or something.
@Kent Wilson
Can you check if your link is broken? I can't get it to work, but it may be my computer.
And here I thought I was a jaded Flames fan. I'm the definition of optimism in comparison.
Link is busted for me too, but it is the first article on NHL Numbers.
Unlike the Flames management I seem to possess some actual intelectual honest. Is Bouwmeester overpaid, yup sure is. Are you going to be able to replace him this summer, Nope, you sure as hell are not. The best of the UFA D are Suter, Garrison and Carle, and what exactly could the Flames offer those three that other better teams couldn't, other than a gross overpayment, OH WAIT WE ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THOSE GUYS!!!
As for trying to acquire a cheaper as good defenceman. With what assests? To get someone as good as Bouwmeester but at half the salary is going to cost you so much more than what you are going to get in return for Bouwmeester, you might as well pencil us in for worse than Oiler level medocrity in 3-4 years.
At this point in time the only plan these guys have is to trade Bouwmeester for Cap space we don't need and hope that Hartley can Coach Babchuk to play better.
@ Colin: Dude you need to get yourself a bottle of Crown Black. Too tense. Cant compare trading JBO to Campbell. When Campbell was traded last year he had, countem, 5 years at 7.1Mill. If he had only 2 years Chicago would have gottem way more for him. He still anchored the Florida power play & played huge minutes. Seeing Florida made the playoffs, I think they feel they stole that trade. Dont sell us short with JBO.
As for Karlsson, I'm surprised. $6.5 mill isnt a bad number, for a 2-3 year deal, the kid deserves it. Personally I would have been happier with a 5 year deal & man, at 7 years you would have thought that cap hit would have come down to like 5.8mill. 40 mill over 7 sounds a lot more reasonable.
Cant trade down, if Grigorenko falls to 14th we will never forgive ourselves & Feaster will be just torched on this site. We need to focus on acquiring an extra 1st rounder. Do we dare to help the Oilers & consider a deal of the likes of Parjarvi, Omark & their 2nd? I would put Omark ahead of Byron, but not by much. Would hate to put a missing piece on the Oilers lap.
June 20 2012, 10:14AM
Can you check if your link is broken? I can't get it to work, but it may be my computer.
Sorry folks. Link fixed.
Edit above, sorry Oiler deal for JBO.
Could,nt agree more Colin,if this management team deals Boumeester,many of us will lose the faith.
In order to move JBo, or more accurately his contract ($6.7 million cap hit for 3 years)its likely the Flames will need to either take back equally bad contracts, or throw in something of fairly significant value. It essentially cost us a second rounder to move Kotalik and a one year three million dollar contract....
I don't see the point in bringing back bad contracts, so if Feaster is serious about moving JBo, its JBo plus something of value (Backlund, prospect/s picks) for a no name prospect / bag of pucks.
The real question, what is Feaster's plan behind moving JBo? If the plan is to move JBo freeing up cap room for a big name signing / trade, a JBo plus value for a bag of pucks trade might make sense. (depending on who the Flames add with the cap space). If the plan is to free up salaries (Millions below cap theory) a JBo trade plus Backlund would be miserable for the fans. It would be worse than Sutters mortaging the future for now concept.
@ Graham: Sorry but JBO only has 2 more years left on his contract not 3. He is still a top 4 dmen on a good team & a top 2 dman on a not so good team. You will get value back. Read about a suggestion that Calgary do a flip of JBO 2 years @ 6.68mil for Briere who has 3 years @ 6.5 mill left. Deal would fit the win now mindset of Feaster & King & get Iggy that top centre for his last year as a Flame. Fills each teams needs for the same money.
June 20 2012, 10:46AM
Even Czech papers are starting to carry the Jagr to Calgary thing
But if you think, on the other hand, that you can't let a defenseman in which you just invested $44.5 million play that kind of soft minutes against so-so competition, then maybe you're asking a little too much.
Karlsson last year:
QualComp 2/6 RelCor QC 2/6 CorQC 1/6
He did get 57% ZS, but to call it against so-so competition and soft is incorrect.
He had a slightly lucky year (PDO of 1013 is a little high, but not crazy high) driven by a ONSH% of 9.58, which will probably regress a bit.
McLean deployed a PvP strategy with Kuba and Karlsson behind Spezza's line, coupled with big Ozone starts (but not Sedin level OZ starts)
If McLean stays with that strategy and Spezza continues to produce, its not unreasonable to think Karlsson will be 50+pts vs tough comp.
I think Spezza was driving the bus and Karlsson benefited greatly from it, but they did it against the toughest comp, which is pretty damn good.
A RelCorsi QualComp of 2/6 (0.33) isn't difficult competition though. It's pretty mediocre actually. Jay BOuwmeesters RelCorsi Qual Comp was 1.672. A guy like Scott Hannan had a RelCorsi Qual Comp of over 0.8. So Maclean was defineitly giving Kaarlsson easier minutes.
June 20 2012, 11:21AM
@Gary LOPP
Relative to Sens players they were tough. Across the league? Not so much. Guys like Weber, Bouwmeester and Chara faced much tougher circumstances.
Eriksson is a really interesting case. He very well may cover the bet, but 7 years is a long time. Guess we'll see.
Couldn't agree more with # 1, why are they jumping all over themselves to unload JayBo's overpriced contract for essentially peanuts when as you put it so well, it's only an issue for two more years, we're not talking Bobby Lu years here, and given that the salary cap is expected to raise to 70mil or so next year?
@Kent Wilson
Missing link?
Sorry, I had to. Surprised no one beat me to it.
@Kevin R
Theres more differences to the trades as well, the GM of Florida WANTED to acquire Campbell, while on the other hand Feaster WANTS to offload Bouwmeester for whatever reason.
And the 2 vs 5 years doesn't make much of difference, you are still acquiring what a lot of people are deeming over priced, underperforming help.
When JayBo seems to be inevitably traded at the draft, the return is going to be so disappointing. None of this Moving up into the top 10 people are talking about, or using him in a cornerstone to get Staal or anything. Nope he's gonna get us a later round pick probably and a decent mid tier defender(not like we don't have plenty of those) or a second/third line player, maybe a prospect that a team wants off its 50 contract limit.
if feaster trades bouwmeester and fails to get someone who can replace those minutes, I will have to seriously reconsider my fan status when it comes to this team.
June 20 2012, 01:21PM
Could JBo get a top 10 pick? Probably not. Not by himself
Say we moved JBo and Backlund to Columbus. Or the Islanders. Or Carolina. Or Montreal. What could we get back?
Could we get one of these picks in the top 10?
Could we get a prospect and a pick later in the 1st round??
The more I think about it, if we keep JBo, it'd be nice to have a later 1st round pick, or high 2nd, to grab someone like Tom Wilson, if he were available. The more talk about JBO, the more I lean on the "keep him" fence. But my gut says move him now, as part of a rebuild. But I certainly don't see anyoen taking JBOs minutes unless we sign Suter, which is highly unlikely.
June 20 2012, 01:21PM
The return for Campbell was predicated on the Hawks desperately needing to unload salary while the Panthers desperately needed to add it. It was almost a pure salary-swap, particularly aided by the fact that Tallon was the Hawks former GM, friendly to the org and to the player.
So while I agree Bouwmeester's contract is probably unseemly to may teams, I think the environment in which the Flames are (hypothetically) shopping him is different. The team doesn't need to move him and the UFA class is so weak his stock could improve due to the dearth of options.
Not a chance Backlund + JayBo gets us into the top 10, maybe in a package with out 14 sure, but not those two by themselves.
I know Chicago wanted to lose salary badly, but isn't that the same as what the Jaybo trade would be, trying to get salary out, even though we have 20 million in cap space? To me the tades are going to be very similar, a lot of the teams in the top 10 or so of cap spending are NOT going to want a JayBo unless we take back some terrible contract or something, and no cap floor team is going to give us anything of substance for him either.
June 20 2012, 02:02PM
Meant JBO/Backlund/14th. Into the top 10, part of a package (Carolina? Columbus?? Islanders???)
Then... Trade to get into the lower end of the 1st/top of the 2nd. I'd like to get Tom Wilson. How did he interview yesterday afternoon on the FAN? Missed that...
I think Kipper and JBO may be of higher value than many here think.
Back to Moss... Not to mention Kipper and JBO... Think possible lockout. All these guys become one year older. Something to consider.
June 20 2012, 02:11PM
if feaster trades bouwmeester and fails to get someone who can replace those minutes, I will have to seriously reconsider my fan status when it comes to this team.
Yeah I agree Jaybo and Backlund plus out 14th is easily enough to get us into the top 10, where in the top 10 is another matter entirely.
but if you trade Jaybo/Backlund to get into the top 10, what else do you have left to get into the bottom of the 1st or top of the 2nd, pretty well zip.
I think very highly of JayBo, which is why I'm PISSED that they are more than likely trading him(haven't heard trade rumors ever this strong that haven't turned out). The problem is that Feaster isn't trying to trade JayBo in a position of strength, its' one of weakness. I believe Jay has a NTC as well, so it's not like we can just dump him on the Isle anyways, he'd had to sign off on it.
This is going to be a VERY VERY bad trade for the next season no matter how it shapes up. If Feaster trades Jay and gets a lot for the future, well getting to the lottery next year plus other young assests is never a bad thing.
@Kent Wilson
This would be awesome. (*sorry, the Jagr to cgy scenario)
come on trading JayBo will not hurt this team and opening up cap space can only help.He is better suited for the eastern conference and would probably thrive over there. Giordano can take over his minutes and we can set out to get a good shot blocking d-man or two if you notice the devils and kings were great shot blocking teams...and whats wrong with signing Jagr didn't anyone hear how the players in philly loved him all of them want him back if he brought 50 points for 3 mil whats the problem plus what if his presence gets even 15 more points out of cervenka and a line of Baertchi,cervenka and jagr doesn't sound that bad to me

By SHARON K. EARL, Administrative Coordinator Emery County Chamber of CommerceHuntington
Dear Editor,
On Fri. Oct. 8, 2004, Emery County had its first Emergency Awareness Fair. Although the public attendance was small, there was a great deal of information available there.
There were over 25 different organizations displaying at this fair. Utah Power provided a display on what to do if you were in a disaster and there were broken power lines down. The Earthquake Lady was giving demonstrations on what to do in an earthquake, and guess what, we do have earthquakes in Emery County. We had several retail businesses there with supplies and necessities for a disaster.
We had the bomb squad, the drug dogs, the fire departments and many other disaster units there.
Judy Lang and Sgt. Martin Wilson did a very good job and as the Emery County Chamber of Commerce, I would like to say we appreciate you. It is a lot of hard work with little thanks.
I think the people who attended took home valuable information. If we were unfortunate enough to experience a real disaster, they would know what to do to help themselves and to help someone who didn't take the time to find out what to do for themselves.

Hi, seems that I have some very urgent need for a translation. I thought MS could help (yes, poor lazy me, it's not my fault that I don't know much at it).
So here I am, asking for help (I can just PM you the very short story to be translated) ASAP.

Head is swimming with goodness. I just went down the hall at work to the medicine cabinet, looking for tylenol to fight off a very bad headache (so bad it made me wonder if people who practice traphaning may in fact be on to something), and I was introduced to one of our new student employees who lo and behold loves Bollywood too! We've just had a spirited conversation from Sholay (her: "I can't believe he dies!" me: "Me too, me too!") to Bunty Aur Babli (her: "They're so cute!" me: "I know! It's so pink and happy!" her: "It's great!")
So I add to my list of things I like about Bollywood its persistently rose-colored powers. You have to know where to look, but I've learned. It's hard to maintain a self-indulgent melancholy when you're watching Rani do her Lucille Ball hommage, seeing a really good arm-fling, or overwhelmed by rollicking pink cheer.
if only it came in pill form
