Juugo's clan absorbed natural energy because of their lineage. They enetered a sort of sage mode, didn't they?
If Madara can however, what will Hashirama do to overpower Madara? That was his trump card in their fights. Mokuton+Sage Mode.
Well, seeing as Hashirama and Oro both have the Devil Gate Summon, it's possible that this is how a perfect Snake Sage Mode actually looks like (though I doubt it). Beside, those 3 places are legendary, because they produced legendary warriors/disciples in the past. The Frog Scroll had about 5 names, while the Mountain had tons of petrified students, which means that you don't need to have a summoning contract in order to become a disciple of a legendary animal.
IIRC, Jyugo's clan was closely associated with the Dragon Cave. It's likely that his lineage had tons of people that mastered Snake Sage Mode (SSM) to some degree and in turn their descendants gained natural affinity towards natural energy.
Though it's also possible that Jyugo's clan were part of a religion that worshiped the Jyubi and in the past were granted with great power akin to that of Jyubi's for their devotion.
It's also possible that Jyubi was once a human whose senin transformation went completely out of control and bounds, turning him into the monster we know today, that effectively destroyed civilization, until people once again started to walk the earth...
if Harashima's sage mode was an inherent ability, we might have seen it sooner than the first VOTE fight during that flashback I think. Plus wouldn't Yamato be able to use it too don't you think?
I don't know about Madara. I think the Rinnegan an alternate plan to peace, as an alternative to the village. This is in line with the Senju belief in "Love", settling problem by having a Village where the clans freely mixed.
Eye of the Moon plan was his Elder Brother vision where humans will get along with each other "No Love Required".
Once Madara sensed Hashirama, the Real Madara showed up, and he felt the need to fully vindicate his life and his ideal by crushing Hashirama with his new found power.
The Jyuubi can't likely be the progenitor if it was once a human.
I hope Kishi does not flubb Naruto with a Gamey ending.
I'm really starting to wonder how and when Hashirama actually died. If he lived long enough to see Tsunade's byakuga, he must have lived longer than previously thought? It would make sense if he died shortly before giving the hokage title to his brother, but again, when Tobirama gave Hiruzen the title of third hokage, Hiruzen must have been in his early twenties. And Tobirama must have been hokage for a while at that point.
So this doesn't add up yet.
Shadow clones: = Are chakra based; physical damage disrupts them; information only returns if they are disrupted or cancelled.
Mokutan clones: = Are cell based; can take psychical damage without disrupting; information can be shared simply by coming in contact.
So as you can see Mokutan have advantages of taking physical damage and passing information without being disrupted. However because they are cell based and not chakra based Sage mode must be harnessed from within each clone.
Obito is the one who was impatient if you remember their conversation from earlier.
Obito " your just like a kid you just want to play around ..."
Madara " No the kid is the one who rushes things because they can't wait..."
Well the quote might be off a little but its close enough.
I fear that Naruto, as a manga, is sacrificing its story in the interest of having huge set-pieces and nostalgic moments, no matter how forced. So yes, the four previous hokages in action is awesome. Team 7 fighting together--EQUALLY for the first time in the manga--is awesome. Making progress against the Juubi is awesome...ish.
But what happened to "Tobi's" interest in Sasuke? Making him fight Naruto? Madara's goal of moon's eye plan, and not just his Hashirama fetish? What happened to Sasuke having his own motives and moving down his own path, however twisted? Naruto's plan to "save" him? What about the efforts of the current kages? Why have them survive at all if the prior hokages have moved in and completely stolen their thunder anyway? What happened to Shikaku's final plan, the one that he gave his life transmitting? Was it really as completely ineffective as it seems? Why did Tobi want to "sync" Sasuke to the Gedo in the first place? Why is Orochimaru back for the THIRD FREAKING TIME? What happened to Obito's resolve that saw him take over an entire villiage, casually wage war against the entire ninja world, scheme against and murder countless shinobi? Why has he resigned himself to seeking a Talk-no-Jutsu to the face? Why was his character brought back in the first place--so far, it has added not a single thing new or noteworthy to the ongoing story?
I'm gonna stop there, but you get the point. Every one of those questions that I typed out right there has been so far glossed over or thrown out in favor of fan-service and this damn Juubi thing. Am I the only one who misses the story?
Seriously though: Why has Samehada been completely written out of the story, when it could've been used to such great effect to neutralize the edo tensei'd beast hosts so many chapters ago? At the very least, Bee could've instructed it to help out Kakashi and Guy for awhile, and it stealing the hosts chakra and continuously giving it to them (by changing hands repeatedly) could have easily covered the plot hole of non-kage level Kakashi and Guy holding their own against fully bijuu-mode'd hosts :-/

On December 3, 2012, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the conviction of former pharmaceutical company sales rep Alfred Caronia for promoting a drug for a use that had not been approved by the FDA. This is called off-label use.
In 2010, Caronia was convicted of conspiracy to introduce a misbranded drug into interstate commerce, in violation of the Federal Drug & Cosmetic Act (FDAC). His appeal successfully contended that he was convicted for his speech – speech that promoted the off-label, but legal, use of an approved prescription drug – which violates his First Amendment right to free speech. In its ruling, the Court concluded that Mr. Caronia had been prosecuted and convicted for "mere off-label promotion," and that "we construe the FDCA as not criminalizing the simple promotion of a drug's off-label use because such a construction would raise First Amendment concerns."
The Court further ruled that it interprets "the misbranding provisions of the FDCA as not prohibiting and criminalizing the truthful off-label promotion of FDA-approved prescription drugs" and "that the government cannot prosecute pharmaceutical manufacturers and their representatives under the FDCA for speech promoting the lawful, off-label use of an FDA-approved drug."
On January 23, the DIA webinar Off-label Marketing Regulation in the Wake of the US v. Caronia Decision (#13209) reviewed highlights of the legal facts and history and some of the implications for regulatory and industry professionals, that are sure to follow one of the most significant, recent commercial free speech decisions by a federal appeals court. This webinar explored the dimensions of conversations and decisions that will arise from the aftermath of this decision. "This decision is far from over," cautioned webinar moderator John F. Kamp, JD, PhD (Wiley Rein LLP).
Bert W. Rein (Wiley Rein LLP) summarized the history of this decision, the great divide between its majority and dissenting opinions (2-1), and what he called "the eternal disconnect in the regulation of drugs and devices." On the one hand, he explained, FDAC gives FDA the authority to approve pharmaceuticals for market use which have demonstrably proven, through rigorous testing and review, to be adequately safe and effective for a specific therapeutic
purpose. On the other hand, the FDAC does not give FDA authority to regulate the practice of medicine, and it is not illegal for a physician or other authorized caregiver to prescribe a pharmaceutical product if the prescriber deems it helpful for that patient.
"What do you do with a lawfully distributed product when additional information changes use patterns?" asked Mr. Rein. Questions abound: Does the FDAC authorize FDA to regulate the pharmaceutical product or to regulate the speech through which that product is distributed and administered? Does FDA regulate the manufacturer, who tests and gets a product approved for a specific therapeutic indication, or the prescriber, who can legally prescribe the product outside that approved indication?
Alan R. Bennett JD (Ropes & Grey) examined the evidentiary implications of Caronia. "There are four things that the case can actually be said to stand for," he began:
Mr. Bennett suggested that the government will most likely move forward by structuring new investigative strategies to develop evidence that goes beyond promotional speech (such as internal marketing plans or directions to sales representatives), and will attempt to further "Caronia proof" their investigations by more clearly stating that promotional speech is only offered as evidence of intent of intended off-label use.
FDA will also have to focus on "false or misleading" promotion, which may not only force the agency to prove the speech in question is "false or misleading" but may open debate over the definition of "false or misleading" and perhaps even who gets to define it. "There is nothing in the First Amendment that bars false or misleading speech," Mr. Bennett explained. "That is the key question: What is the ultimate scope of the First Amendment here?"
In his presentation "US v. Caronia: A Victory for Patients," James "Mit" Spears, JD (Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America [PhRMA]) proposed that Caronia is nothing less than a reaffirmation of the constitutional principle of free speech. FDA and Justice Department policies around promotional speech are rooted in the past, he suggested, when such discussions were primarily between industry, regulators and prescribers. Patients, and more recently payers, have now emerged as discussants, too.
But the only voice subject to regulation through all these conversations is the voice that works for or otherwise represents the pharmaceutical company, such as Mr. Caronia's. All other parties can freely speak. "I don't understand how you can decide what is promotional," Mr. Spears said. "Any piece of information that I share about my product can be seen as promotional."
Mr. Spears further pointed out that off-label use is a common and widely accepted medical practice. Not only is it legal, but 50% of all oncology prescriptions are for off-label use; off-label use may constitute the standard of care in certain therapeutic areas, he continued, and is recognized as such by Medicare/Medicaid and other reimbursement plans.
Caronia highlights the disconnect between legal and acceptable off-label use and speech that promotes off-label use, for which Mr. Caronia was convicted and whose conviction was subsequently overturned, Mr. Spears said in summary. It can help us move toward a new regulatory paradigm based on truthful, non-deceptive communications (including promotional speech) that will yield better outcomes for patients. "Speech without intent is meaningless," he concluded.

Nerd Lunch Wives: Married to a Nerd
Nerd Lunch Wives: Married to a Nerd
Someone recently asked me, "So, what is it like being married to a nerd?" Hmmm, interesting question! When I hear the word nerd, I imagine a weird guy with greasy hair and tape on the rim of his glasses who carries his pens in a pocket protector and snorts when he laughs. Were they asking me because they think Pax fits this description or is it because he likes Star Wars and Star Trek? Or maybe it is because he is a computer guy? To fully answer this let's consider what a nerd truly is. According to Merriam-Webster, a nerd is defined as "an unstylish, unattractive or socially inept person; especially: one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits."
I had a friend in college who often told me that her boyfriend had a friend who was perfect for me. I was flattered and promptly told her to set us up! Her response was always the same, "you're not ready yet." What did that mean? Well, I think she meant that he wasn't my type. I was attracted to the outgoing, fun party guys.
When Pax and I finally met, we totally hit it off! We discovered our mutual love of movies, movie trivia, and that we could finish each other's random movie quotes. We also realized that we have the same varied taste in music and found the same things funny. He was also very witty; I love
when someone can verbally spar with me! Needless to say, we started dating, got engaged and then married. That was 10 years ago this past August.
I will say that when I first met my husband he had absolutely NO fashion sense! He loved (and I'm afraid still does) t-shirts with words on them. He had an amazing Star Wars collection that included a hideous bomber jacket with Darth Maul's face on it. He owned 50 pairs of jeans and maybe 2 pairs of khakis. I'm proud to say that in our years together his t-shirt collection has shrunk while his polo shirt collection has grown. He's also replaced his Darth Maul jacket with a grey pea coat, and he owns several more pairs of khakis. That being said, he's pretty stylish now.
Even though beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, Pax is far from unattractive. He is a great looking guy. He has beautiful eyes and I love his hair and smile. Unattractive he is certainly not.
My husband is very reserved and can be shy at times. I am definitely the social butterfly in the relationship. He is also very thoughtful. For example, when he's asked a question he thinks a really long time before he speaks. Deliberation is great when discussing social issues or politics, but when asked a simple question like, would you like a piece of gum? He'll take 10 minutes to reply. Really?! It is just gum! I would have answered in 2.2 seconds flat, but then again, my husband never puts his foot in his mouth like I do. He is also capable of carrying on conversations outside of Star Wars or computers. As you can see he is not socially inept.
He is interested in computers, electronics, comic books, science fiction movies, and he is an avid reader. But I wouldn't go as far as to say he is "slavishly devoted" to pursuing those interests.
I guess the word nerd encompasses many things. According to this definition, however, I do not think that my husband is a nerd. Sure he sometimes wears jeans to the opera (fist in air!) but at least he pairs them with a button-up shirt and more importantly, he accompanies me to said opera. Pax has given me an appreciation for many new things and I hope I have done the same for him. He is my best friend and a wonderful father. He doesn't totally fit the Merriam-Webster's description of nerd. But, if writing a blog, recording a weekly pod cast with other self-professed nerds, and dressing up as Captain Kirk for Halloween is nerdy, then I guess nerdy is just my type!

All hail nerd wives!!!
What wonderful partners we have found.
Nerd Couples ASSEMBLE!!
Pax, I feel ya bro! I am a blue jean, sneakers, t-shirt/sweatshirt kind of a guy. I don't think I even knew what a sweater was until I meet my wife. Oh wait, was a sweater that thing my mom made me wear for our "nice" pictures at Christmas?
I can tell you even though my wife is a Librarian, english major, and avid reader; I don't think she even knew there was a Science Fiction / Fantasy genre before we meet. So it warms the cockles of my heart when she grabs the laptop and start watching Firefly, AGAIN!!, while making dinner. Or telling me that someday we ought to rewatch Farscape or starting watching Buffy and Angel together. To which I reply that we need to finish BSG and Lost. Don't forget that the last season of Eureka is coming up. :(
She even read and enjoyed the Birds of Prey comic book. I, however, found it difficult at times to hear her at night say . . . "She wouldn't wear that." or "How can that outfit stay on?" But I loved that she read them.
She is an amazing nerd wife. I think that is very important to understand: behind every good nerd . . . (are unopened actions figures, stacks of comic book boxes, extensive DVD collections, gaming systems galore, and bags of dice). . . is a good nerd wife!

You speak the truth, Fitz. You speak the truth.
The fact that my wife went to see 7 of the 8 Harry Potter movies in the theater with me is testament to her awesome-itude.
We have it good, my friend.

Really great post and a nice series altogether. I think every nerd needs a Mrs. Holley at some point in their life.

Jennifer, to answer your question, no, I don't like Dr Who. :-)
But I do like Torchwood which spun off from Dr Who.

Ah Fitz, I miss you and Anna. I wish Nerd Couples could assemble more often. There aren't enough of us to go around. I suppose that's the beauty in our pairing.
And yes, WATCH LOST. It's awesome.
Paxton, I hope next time you and CT get together your wife and I can hang out. :)

Jeeg has his own very definite fashion sense, so I've never tried to influence it much. I'm actually much more likely to wear T-shirts with words on them than he is. I plan to order (for myself) a custom T-shirt with this quote from Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory:
"Women, huh? You can't live with them; you can't successfully refute their hypotheses."
I have gotten Jeeg to wear stripes on occasion, and he does sometimes bring me along on shopping trips for the female perspective. He's very respectful of my personal preferences, so I try to be respectful of his. Also, I don't much care what he wears, 'cause he's so awesome all the time. Just goes around being AWESOME. All the time.

A three-year, $1.6 million grant funded by the Helios Education Foundation and administered by public-private partnership Science Foundation Arizona is expected to boost Arizona schools' science and math programs.
Schools that submit a successful grant application will receive as much as $500,000 over the three years, according to Barbara Ryan, Helios' chief operating officer.
The money could fund teacher training and curricula. Soon, students may be learning by collaborating, doing experiments and using science and math skills in all aspects of their education.
Helios President Paul Luna said the foundation doesn't know how many schools will apply for a grant or what the proposals will entail.
"I would emphasize the spirit in which we're engaging the community," Luna said. "We're still learning. We don't even know what we don't know yet."
Politicians, business leaders and educators are emphasizing science, technology, engineering and math -- STEM education -- to prepare workers for the global economy.
STEM occupations are projected to grow by 17 percent from 2008 to 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. That compares with 9.8 percent growth for non-STEM jobs.
Workers in STEM-related jobs earn 26 percent more than workers not involved in those fields, the Commerce Department determined.
"We want to get kids excited about something that's really going to help their future," said Darcy Renfro, vice president of education and coordinator of the Arizona STEM Network at Science Foundation Arizona.
Representatives of Science Foundation Arizona have visited schools throughout the state to generate interest in STEM education, she said.
"The STEM philosophy of teaching is really different. It's hands-on projects, problem-based and interdisciplinary. It's more like the real world," she said.
Arizona Science Foundation created the Arizona STEM Network in February. The network is creating a system of information-management tools, processes and technical assistance for schools.
The selection of STEM pilot schools is the next step in the creation of the network. Arizona is the only state taking this pilot approach to STEM education.
Helios is donating $4 million to the network, including the $1.6 million for the pilot-schools program.
Renfro said schools selected for the program must form a partnership with business to be chosen. Pilot schools may give business leaders a chance to work in classrooms.
"Partnering with business and industry will be key because this is not just about the schools," she said. "The broader community needs to be involved."
STEM education includes after-school clubs, individual activities in the classroom and full-immersion programs, such as Metro Tech and Bioscience high schools, both in the Phoenix Union High School District.
But "we don't expect every school to look like a Bioscience High," Renfro said.
Metro Tech Principal Kate McDonald said she plans to apply for a STEM grant. The school recently finished a three-year, $900,000 grant in sustainability.
"The whole idea of STEM is so relevant to our kids," she said. "It's about this idea of crafting experiences to think different ... to use the scientific method."
Application forms for Helios' STEM pilot-schools grants will be available on Science Foundation Arizona's website, www.sfaz.org.

Do you like the flavor of white chocolate? Use white chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix instead of vanilla.
If you don't have a bowl big enough to hold this crowd-size dessert, two smaller bowls will work just as well.
For an extra-special treat, decorate with chocolate-dipped orange segments. Dip half of each orange segment into melted chocolate and place on a waxed paper-covered cookie sheet. Refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes or until chocolate is set. Just before serving, arrange dipped oranges on top of dessert.

Columbia Law and Economics Working Paper No. 306
Over the past decade, drug makers have settled patent litigation by making large payments to potential rivals who, in turn, abandon suits that (if successful) would increase competition. Because such "pay-for-delay" settlements postpone the possibility of competitive entry, they have attracted the attention of antitrust enforcement authorities, courts, and commentators. Pay-for-delay settlements not only constitute a problem of immense practical importance in antitrust enforcement, but also pose a general dilemma about the proper balance between innovation and consumer access.
This Article examines the pay-for-delay dilemma as a problem in regulatory design. A full analysis of the relevant industry-specific regulatory statute, the Hatch-Waxman Act, yields two conclusions. First, certain features of the Act widen, often by subtle means, the potential for anticompetitive harm from pay-for-delay settlements. Second, the Act reflects a congressional judgment favoring litigated challenges, contrary to arguments employed to justify these settlements. These results support the further conclusion that pay-for-delay settlements are properly condemned as unreasonable restraints of trade. This analysis illustrates two mechanisms by which an industry-specific regulatory regime shapes the scope of antitrust liability: by creating (or limiting) opportunities for anticompetitive conduct as a practical economic matter, and by guiding as a legal matter the vigor of antitrust enforcement in addressing that conduct.

Real-world MPG: economical 4x4s
- Most efficient Ford Kuga added to database
- Saloons from Audi, BMW and Mercedes tested
- Results indicate real-world fuel economy
Need a valuation?
Obtain a FREE used car valuation for any vehicle.
The What Car? True MPG team takes a range of new cars on a thorough road test every week, to bring you real-world MPG figures based on actual driving rather than a Government laboratory test.
We've recently added more economical 4x4s and stylish saloons to the database, with new models such as the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 140 and the Mercedes CLA220 CDI being tested.
The 138bhp diesel Ford Kuga is the least powerful model in the range, but in most situations it doesn't feel appreciably slower. The official fuel economy figure for the car is 53.3mpg, but it achieved 42.0mpg in our tests – an 11.3mpg shortfall.
Earlier in the year we tested Kuga rivals from Honda and Mazda.
We tested the 148bhp Mazda CX-5 2.2 diesel with two-wheel drive, which claims average economy of 61.4mpg, but our True MPG technicians recorded 47.2mpg.
The four-wheel-drive Honda CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC came much closer to its official figure – it managed 47.6mpg, a deficit of only 2.8mpg.
The stylish Mercedes CLA220 CDI has also been tested recently. The official figure for this car with the seven-speed automatic gearbox is 62.8mpg, but we recorded 50.0mpg in our tests.
However, this result compares favourably with rivals'. The Audi A5 Sportback 2.0 TDI we tested earlier this year with the six-speed manual gearbox managed 48.5mpg (down 6.9mpg on official average economy).
One of the most efficient premium saloons we've tested is the BMW 320d. In Sport specification with the six-speed manual 'box, it was 6.6mpg below official figures on our test route, achieving an impressive average of 54.8mpg.

In the next few weeks the world will be looking south to Rio+20. Carl Bildt, Sweden's Foreign Minister, reminds us that it needs to look north as well.
Bildt spoke on "Arctic Challenges and the Future Perspectives of the Arctic Council" Thursday night at Carleton University in Ottawa. Sweden currently chairs the eight-nation political forum. 1 Founded in 1996 the Arctic Council also includes six Indigenous Peoples' organizations 2 and has traditionally focused on scientific assessments of pollution, climate change and other environmental challenges. Over the years it has brought a "human dimension" into its work as it has tried to grapple with the geopolitical implications of the rapid change taking place in the Arctic. http://www.arctic-council.org/index.php/en/
The Council has been criticized for being too rigid, too exclusive and incapable of adapting to the new reality of a rapidly melting Arctic. It's irrelevant, say its harshest critics.
The fact that the council is a political creation with no independent budget and has no legal identity has not helped. Neither has the fact that much of the Arctic falls within the jurisdiction of the countries that surround the Arctic Ocean. There has been fierce resistance within the council to admitting new observers (there are currently 26 states, intergovernmental organizations and NGOs that have positions) including the European Union and, especially, China.
Bildt offered a view from the top, so to speak. Sweden has one year left in its mandate before the rotating chairmanship moves back to Canada a year from now. It's a good time to extend a diplomatic hand to Canada, which has not said what it plans to do during its mandate. The Foreign Minister had four main points he said are necessary for the future growth and stability of the council.
1. Aim to make Arctic Council decisions concrete. "We have been very good at analyzing challenges, but we must do something about them." He pointed to last year's agreement on search and rescue, the first "legally binding" agreement developed through the council, and current moves towards dealing with oil spills as examples of the kind of evolution needed.
2. Improve communications. Most people don't know that the council exists, or if they do, what it does. The only way for the council to be seen as relevant is to talk about what it does. A new communications strategy has just been approved, he said.
3. Focus on the human dimension. Four million people live in the Arctic, and many of these belong to indigenous cultures. "We must bring positive change in order to be legitimate." Economic development opportunities must be improved but at the same time the environment and people's particular social situations have to be respected.
4. The "Arctic voice" needs to be heard on the international stage. Bildt said this means the council must "state a more common policy" on key issues. At a recent meeting of Deputy Ministers, the member states decided to negotiate such a statement.
"As we hand over to Canada we hope to be able to make a statement of a common mission in the Arctic region," he said.
The idea of speaking with one voice has been discussed before but hasn't gone very far. Despite the similarities that Bildt pointed to – the focus on sustainable development as key to the Arctic's future, the need for a scientific understanding of change in the region, the right to a secure future of the people who call the Arctic home – there are many national priorities and state interests that could stand in the way of anything other than a weak position statement.
Time will tell. In 2002, the Arctic Council looked to Indigenous Peoples to carry its message to the World Summit on Sustainable Development. They did but none of the Arctic states would agree to mention the Arctic in the final political accord.
Ten years latter, we come to Rio+20. Given all the rapid and irreversible changes we are witnessing in the Arctic, will any Arctic state champion the links between sustainable development in the polar regions and the rest of the world?

Chapter 17
Israel and the Philistines engage in war—Goliath of Gath, a giant, defies Israel and challenges any Israelite to personal combat—David goes against him in the name of the Lord—David slays Goliath with a sling and a stone—Israel defeats the Philistines.
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 ¶And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of
5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 And he had
7 And the
8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 ¶Now
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were
14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 ¶And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
22 And David left his
23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28 ¶And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30 ¶And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
32 ¶And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 David said moreover, The Lord that
38 ¶And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the
46 This day will the Lord
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 ¶And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host,
56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.

I think Jacob was at that Dave Chappelle show too.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
I love Celebrity as a venue and wish it got used more often.
Most recently I sat second row and watched Erykah Badu on the rotating stage, unbelievable show.
I've also seen Wu-Tang, Deftones, O.A.R. (dont ask), Dilated Peoples w/ Jurassic 5 all with the rotating stage.
My favorite, however, was Primus doing a two set show wherein one of the sets they played Sailing the Seas of Cheese in it's entirety. Les Claypool walking along the edge of the stage abusing his bass was something to see.
My most recent show at Celeb was Etta James... that old bag has still got it!
There it is...

i wound up at a bone thugs and harmony show and watched the three vomit inducing openers on the rotating stage before i left. also the only show i've ever been to there but i thought the venue was pretty fucking cool.
Brickhouse is closed down, so I say Celebrity.
Also Celebrity has a much higher capacity than Brickhouse ever did.
Also when going to shows at Brickhouse I generally parked right by Madison Street Jail; I'd say the increased cop presence would cut down on incidents.
I don't think I'm hosting a 2016 collaborative playlist.
Celebrity Threatre hands down way more dangerous.

hmm wonder where it'll be? Guess the rhythm room makes the most sense, but this new album is probably going to get a lot of hype too...
really hoping I can make it up for this
I'm sure that can be arranged, we should go a little early so we can hang out at the cool bar downstairs... I wonder if BB will have a cool gig poster for sale...

Anna-Jonesboro head coach Mike Chamness wasn't sure how his team went 8-of-21 from the free throw line and was able to knock off Eldorado 65-61 in the opening round of the Eldorado Holiday Tournament Friday night at Duff-Kingston Gym.
The Wildcats' head coach actually didn't even want to know what the number was, but one number he was encouraged about was the 11-point deficit his team erased, late in the second half, to earn the upset win as the Eagles held the No. 7 seed in the EHT.
"I thought our guys showed a lot of heart and a lot of guts, especially in the fourth quarter," Chamness said. "Our guys didn't quit tonight. I thought we got a real gutsy effort from our freshman Zach Parr and they grew up a little bit tonight."
Chamness added that Friday night's affair was the first game all season that his club was able to hang to win.
Eldorado led at the end of the first three quarters and had an 11-point lead to start the third quarter thanks to a 6-0 run by the Eagles.
However, Anna-Jonesboro didn't quit, as the Wildcats cut the lead to three after back-to-back buckets by Parr to make it 40-37 with 3:51 to play.
Eldorado closed out the third quarter up 44-43, but were outscored in the final eight minutes 22-17, including seven points for Parr, who finished with a team-high 19 points off the bench.
EHS head coach T.J. Zurliene knew it was going to be a tough contest, going up against a member of the SIRR Mississippi division.
"I knew they had us on the size and we were outmatched in some area's, but in the end, Anna-Jonesboro gave the effort and when it came down to crunch time, we didn't get what we should have got."
Eldorado was in the ballgame the entire time, despite letting A-J chip away at their lead as they trailed 63-61 after a Tyler Boulds 3-pointer with 49.2 to play.
On the ensuing possession, A-J's Noah Fuller was fouled and missed both free throws, but on the Eagles' next trip down, Dylan Lawrence missed a three-pointer.
The Wildcats' Damian Reed was fouled and made one-of-two free throws to take a 64-61 lead. Still trailing by three, Eldorado's next trip down resulted in a turnover with 8.3 to play that put the game away from the host team.
"That's the way the ball bounces," Zurliene said of the missed shots and costly turnovers down the stretch.
"That kind of seems to be the M.O. of our team right now. When we get a lead, we go down and seem to turn the ball over or take a bad three-pointer and that's something we have to fix and we're trying to do that. Until we fix it, we're not going to be able to finish off those teams that are equal to us or better than us."

I am actually intrigued by zac stacy. small, powerful runner.
Wilson was a terrible pick
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!

HELPER-Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and devoted friend to all, Edith Brackett Tonc, passed away quietly on May 5, 2011 after a brief illness at the age of 88.
Edith was born on Sept. 9, 1922 in Helper to Vincent and Antoinette Bianco Brackett.
Married her sweetheart and love of her life, Anton "Tony" Tonc, on Sept. 19, 1947 in Salt Lake City, Utah; he passed away on Feb. 8, 2006.
She was a lifelong resident of Helper. Edith attended county schools and graduated from Carbon High School in 1940. She was an extreme advocate of education and hard work.
Edith and Tony spent their entire lives living, working, and raising their family in Helper, and were so very proud of and committed to their family, dear friends and Italian and Slovenian heritages. She was a great supporter and tremendous fan of all sports organizations throughout the county for years, local baseball, basketball and football.
Edith was very active in sports while she was growing up and excelled in many events, that in those days were strictly set up for men only. Bowling was a passion for many years, and she and her sister Netta were inducted into the King Koal bowling Hall of Fame in 2003.
She thoroughly enjoyed her trips to Wendover with family and friends. Edith was famous for her love of puzzles, crossword, Sudoku and any other challenge to her very inquisitive mind. Her greatest love was her family of whom she was so very proud. She enjoyed family gatherings, dinners and sharing stories of days gone by.
It has often been reported that Edith and Tony could really tear up the dance floor with either the polka or waltz.
They raised two wonderful sons, Anton J. Tonc and Vincent F. Tonc. She took great pride watching her sons play sports as they were growing up. Her family was her most important possession and she always put them first. Edith was a lifelong member of the Stella D'America Italian Lodge 77. She enjoyed attending all of the lodge functions. She worked as a secretary at Helper Junior High School, Helper State Bank, and Helper City as assistant recorder.
Her work here on earth is complete and she has gone to be the angel in heaven we all know and love. Mom, we love you so very much and will greatly miss the joy, happiness, strength and love that you have instilled in every life that you touched.
Survived by her sons, Anton Tonc, Sandy; Vincent (Sheila) Tonc, Butte, Mont.; sister, Netta Burton, Helper; brother-in-law, Louie (Madeline) Tonc, Spring Glen; five grandchildren, Tony, Nick, Aaron, Andrea, Shannon; three great-grandchildren, Zach, Jordann and Madison.

Constable painted this fourth version of The Glebe Farm more freely than any of the other three versions. Using both palette knife and brush, he gave this painting a warm tonality, with flickering highlights. He included a spire in the upper right, rather than the square tower of Langham Church of the other three images – although the spire sits on a Langham Church-style square tower. He first introduced a windmill in place of the tower, and traces of its sails are still visible beneath the spire. Reynolds has suggested that Constable is likely to have painted this work in the autumn of 1830.
The glebe was traditionally land farmed to support the living of the church, but the farm in this picture was not in fact on glebe land.
Michael Rosenthal has noted that in depicting a cottage landscape in a woodland Constable was working in the Picturesque tradition of Hobbema and Gainsborough (Rosenthal 1983, p. 180). He was moreover painting a 'landscape of memory' – the rural world he depicted had since changed as a result of reforms, and had been replaced by something with which Constable was less comfortable (ibid., p. 213). However, the changes in agricultural approach, the division of the Common lands and other such 'advances' would have had little direct impact on this particular scene.
Lucas made a mezzotint ) from the third and largest version of The Glebe Farm 1830 that was bequeathed to the Tate Gallery by Constable's family in 1888.

August 14, 2013
This Saturday and Sunday, the Tallahassee-Leon Community Animal Service Center (ASC) will offer free animal adoptions in recognition of International Homeless Animals' Day. The ASC is open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1-5 p.m.
"This event gives people a chance to give a homeless animal a forever home," said Erika Leckington, ASC director. "By providing free adoptions, we hope to find homes for all of our 108 adoptable animals."
This weekend's adoption special includes vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, a small bag of food, adoption packet, collar and tag. All spayed and neutered animals are free for adoption. Animals in need of spaying or neutering require a deposit, which is fully refundable with proof of the surgery. Please make sure you bring a leash if you are adopting a dog or a carrier if adopting a cat so they can be safely and securely transported home.
The International Society for Animal Rights (ISAR) introduced International Homeless Animals' Day in 1992 with hopes of informing the public of the critical problem of pet overpopulation. Since the conception of International Homeless Animals' Day, ISAR has reserved the third Saturday of August to promote new campaigns, programs and ideas on the number one solution to the pet overpopulation epidemic: spay/neuter.
The Animal Service Center, located adjacent to Tom Brown Park at 1125 Easterwood Drive, is operated and maintained by the City's Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs Department. For more information on the ASC and to view animals that are currently available for adoption, please visit Talgov.com/animals.

Miss Merry Christmas
Miss Monday
Mr Blon Clay
Jink's Manga Picks
Shamo || Vinland Saga || Mirai Nikki || Dangu || Tokyo Red Hood
Lol.. tons of ugly character in One Piece, and that's make this anime cool. hahahaha
Ooh~ what an ouch-ful poll. lol. My vote goes to Alvida pre-make over. She embodies the "anti-hot" concept.
"The leopard is a cruel lover. His tenderness breaks the gazelle's heart."
this would answer your question =3 (scroll down a bit to "page 66")
Lola. even ugly than Kokoro imo
Oda did an SBS later about this. A reader asked "Why was Jyabura dumped?" Oda answered "Gatherine fell in love with Rob Lucci. Thus it explains the rivalry between Lucci and Jyabura." ....or something like that.
Gatherine has to be insane to fall in love with Lucci.
Maybe she likes guys that could tear her into pieces. :s
Bon clay, no contest. That guy just scared me.
And thinking of Alvida makes me go back to when One piece was in it's first chapters; the art's come on a long way since then. Huh, as for Naruto, Kishi's no better at creating characters with distinct genders now than he was in the Zabuza arc.
I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
- Winston Churchill.
The weird part is that the above applies to the anime as well. The start of One Piece anime, even the original, wasn't all that charming. But as Toei throw more money into it, the anime gets better and better, especially visually.

|In response to Re: American standarg cadet vrs crane toilets
: My opinion, and it just an opinion, is that since Crane bought out a competitive brand manufacturer, their performance has dropped. They were one of the top brands years ago and their prices reflected it. These days I use A/S or Kohler if I want a better quality. Crane is just about the last brand I will fall back on.
: : Terry, I am doing two motels. need 130 am st cadets1.6 gal gravity toilets. The supply house has 6 mo to fill order. Today they said if there is a problem getting them would Crane do? I have no idea if crane is equal to am st cadet. I told him i wanted am st.Do you have information on crane vrs am st cadet 1.6 gravity toilets. Thank you. Dale's Plumbing Service Inc. LMP

St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 8:8-13; 9:1-2
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 146.5;134.3
Great is our Lord, and great is his power.
Verse: Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good.
Brethren, food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. Only take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if any one sees you, a man of knowledge, at table in an idol's temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food is a cause of my brother's falling, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to fall.
Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

Chapter 38
The rulers cast Jeremiah into a muddy dungeon—He is freed by Ebed-melech, an Ethiopian, and put in the court of the prison—Jeremiah counsels Zedekiah concerning the war.
1 Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of
2 Thus saith the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
3 Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of
4 Therefore the
5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king
6 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of
7 ¶Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,
9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
14 ¶Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the Lord: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath shewed me:
22 And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
23 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy
24 ¶Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
26 Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.

Cute shoe, but not comfy
"I loved these shoes when I bought them, but after wearing them...not so much. They are not very comfortable. Tahari should have put a little more padding in the bottom and it would have been perfect. I normally wear very high heels, but for some reason these didn't cut it."

Hot Looking Bootie
"Awesome heel. Looks Hot with jeans or a cute mini & tights"
By: AMSK

October 02, 2012
Cute, but tough to wear
"I adore the way these look, and the uppers seemed to be made well, but I found that the combination of the heel height and the way the sole is balanced caused me to pitch forward in a way that made it impossible to walk gracefully. They are also extremely hard inside, and I knew that even if I were able to handle that much heel, I'd have sore feet within an hour of walking on city sidewalks. Hated to return them, and am still hoping to find something this cute with a lower heel and slight platform for cushioning."

ABAJO MOUNTAINS: (April 15) During the past week, inclement weather has kept anglers off the lakes and reservoirs. Sergeant J. Shirley reports that Lloyds Lake, Monticello Lake and Foy Reservoir are open and fishable.
DUCK FORK RESERVOIR: (April 02) Duck Fork Reservoir is inaccessible.
ELECTRIC LAKE: (April 09) The north end is open, but the south side remains covered in ice and snow. No recommendations on end tackle.
FERRON RESERVOIR: (April 02) Ferron Reservoir is inaccessible.
GIGLIOTTI POND: (April 15) The good fishing for the recently-stocked, 8- to 12-inch trout continues. Aquatics Program Manager Paul Birdsey encourages anglers to practice catch-and-release fishing to maintain the current catch rate. With a deeply-hooked fish, it's best to cut the line to avoid causing further internal injury. Read pages 36â37 in the /Utah Fishing Guidebook / for more catch-and-release tips.
HUNTINGTON CREEK: (April 15) Fly fishermen will likely experience the best catch rate with floating line, split shot on a length of leader and a #12 bead head Montana pattern.
