Skip to comments.Bicyclist Stabs Motorist in Northwest D.C. Confrontation
Posted on 12/10/2012 3:48:38 PM PST by Morgana
A bicyclist who apparently was angry at being cut off in traffic fought with and stabbed the motorist he believed to be responsible.
D.C. police officers were called to the 1600 block of Massachusetts Avenue NW about 10:20 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a stabbing. Witnesses told investigators that a bicyclist struck the driver's side mirror of a Smart car with a heavy bike lock.
According to the police report, the driver then got out of the car and asked, "Why did you do that?"
That's when it escalated into a fight, which ended, according to witnesses, when the bicyclist stabbed the driver in the ribs and fled the scene.
More bikes and cars are sharing the road than ever before in the District, and it can, at times, make for an uneasy co-existence. Gregory Billing of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association said its important for both motorists and bike riders to observe the rules of the road. He noted that the time of year when the days are shortest is the most hazardous.

You should read the comments on the page at the link. The cyclists and the fed-up drivers are going at it.
Is why I posted this here!! I know how most FReepers feel about the spandex nazies.
I thought they had knife control in D.C. 'Bout time they make it a law . . . no knifes! (/sarc)
LOL! Thanks for thinking of us!
I am sick of the bicyclists in my town. I really don't care what happens to them at all. If they get killed, being stupid children- I won't cry about it.
I try to post the stories that FReepers will like best...
Now have at it everyone, I want to see funny pictures and remarks that only FR can do!!
Most FReepers can't tell the difference between responsible riders that always let cars have the right of way, who have been riding for most of their life like me, and the spandex Nazis/hipsters on fixed gears.
I hear you.
Witnesses told investigators that a bicyclist struck the driver's side mirror of a Smart car with a heavy bike lock.
Most of them are like me, have had bad experiences with those nazies.
Had one pull out in front of me, my light was green his was red. They don't seem to think the rules of the road apply to them. He got upset cause I would not break for him, well I had the right of way. I also have a ton of steal around me, what does he have for protection? Spandex and a crash helmet. I'd think he would have known better.
The driver! At least he HAS to obey the rules of the road where has bikers think it does not apply to them.
That looks like fun to me.
That's because, with few exceptions, their behavior is the same.
Maybe I should get a GoCam and make an instructional video on how to properly ride a bike.
I commute to work on a bike when it's not raining, and I always CCW when I ride. I'm very polite, too (see: Robert Heinlein).
One of those idiotic Cabinet Members of Obozo bikes to work.
May be commendable BUT the 2 Black Suburbans that have to guard him create twice the pollution than the one it would take to drive him in.
PLUS how much extra fuel while keeping those 'tanks' idling at bicycle speeds.
I ride my mountaintrail bike at the shoulder here.
Even so, I have idiots aim at me despite my not doing anything in the lane side of the road.
That said, I have seen bicyclists block the entire road by riding in the lane and expecting everyone to just plod along behind them.
[This in a 55 MPH zone.]
Basically, it's "this is MY space, stay out of it." territorial aggression.
I bike to work. I assume all cars are there to kill me. It makes one careful!
I agree with many of the posters here. Just because you have the right of way doesn't mean you should insist upon it. Especially when tonnage rules.
" Luckily the dog didn't continue with the attack and ran off. "
Probably snickering behind its whiskers, "Hey look what I did to that goofy human."
Dogs are like that regardless of breed.
On my road it's a beagle.
Riding along and next thing you know you have a beagle on you.
One road over it's a bluebird that nails you.
I avoid that road.
Was driving with my then boyfriend when a dog ran out in the road and was barking at my car. I veered to try to miss it but almost went off the road in the process. My boyfriend said to me "if the dog wants to commit suicide then let him but don't wreck your car over a dog".
He is correct and since then I keep my eyes on the road and drive strait ahead. Not going to wreck my car for a dog or a person on a bicycle but if they hit me it's their fault.
If you ride on the sidewalk then no one is out to kill you. If you ride in rush hour traffic, in a group of 20 children, who are trying to piss everyone off, then all bets are off.
If you're doing it for exercise, a stationary bike makes far more sense. You can do it in the comfort of your own home, more carefully monitor your heart rate, resistance levels, calorie burn, etc. and not have to worry about exhaust fumes, road rash, punctured tires, stop signs, intersections, stop lights etc. In short, in an hour on a stationary bike and an hour on a road bike, you'll get better quality exercise on a stationary bike.
If you're using a bike for commuting or general transportation, a car is far more useful. You get where you're going faster, can carry more stuff with you, and you're not sweating like a hog when you get there. Some people will argue that in a big city they are more efficient (i.e. the bike couriers in NYC), but in all honesty, the only advantage they offer is that it's far easie to flagrantly violate traffic laws on a bicycle.
In my mind, the only place a bike really makes any sense is if you're taking a mountain bike someplace you really can't get in a car.
What are the laws in your town in regards to cyclists?
Do bikes have the same right to be on a road as cars and trucks?
Are there bike lanes?
"the driver then got out of the car"..
Darwin alert
Exactly how hard is it to knock a review mirror off one of those stupid toy cars? I suspect a cyclist could sneeze as they rode by and blast the mirror across the street..geeesh.
Had a black lab run head first into the side of my car on Route 6 as I was heading towards Middletown.
Surprised the crap outta me.
One second I'm tooling long at 55, next thing I hear is "Clunk" and i see a dog sliding across the road behind me.
I pull over, put on the hazards and looked the car over.
Small dent, nothing much.
Dog was fine, oddly enough.
And pleased as punch that people were talking to him.
We found his owner and asked them to take him for a looksie at the vet.
Dunno if they did, they never contacted me about it.
Perhaps we need to ban knives. After all, people are getting killed. If it wasn't for that knife, there would be no crime here.
"In my mind, the only place AN ATV really makes any sense is if you're taking AN ATV someplace you really can't get in a car.
There, fixed it for you.
Not self defense. Bikeliberalmania.
"We found his owner and asked them to take him for a looksie at the vet.
Dunno if they did, they never contacted me about it."
Okay wait a minute!!
Most states have a leash law, so why was "rover" not on it?
Second because the dog was not contained by his/her master it hit your car and did damage to your property.
Yea I'd be calling his master about paying for my damages not the dogs. If the dog had been on his leash that would not happened. I am sorry dogs get hit everyday but it is the duty of the master to keep them safe not your duty to kill yourself trying not to hit them.
That knife has been hanging around guns for too long and now look what happens. A good knife gone bad. He was probably born to be hunting knife with asperations of becoming a butcher knife. but in the wrong company he went from being a concealed weapon/pocket knife to a STABBER.
My concern was for the dog, not the owner.
The vet I knew, I would have had a dog out of the deal.
Dunno why the dog was out, owner didn't seem too concerned.
Joe 'round these parts we only use an ATV to go up and down the holler.
You think the cars are hard on the spandex nazies? They have never clashed with the ATV'ers!
"Dunno why the dog was out, owner didnt seem too concerned.
Exactly! It is not that I don't care for the dog but buying a new car in this economy is kinda hard. Like I said not gonna crash my car over a dog let out by a careless master.
In a perfect world we would smack the owner but usually I just call the pound.
That is a picture from 2008 story of a drunk driver who fell asleep at the wheel and plowed his car into a bike race. He injured 10 and killed 1.
Dunno what the outcome was.
The trooper behind me stuck around after telling me to split.
If anythng, he likely called animal control.
I didn't have a cellphone at the time.
Regret having one now.
Ever see those mind numbed robots on "Cops"?
They sit there and say the dumbest stuff possible?
That's what the owner was like.
Haven't seen the dog since.
I wonder how a group of bicycles would do against a 13,000lb John Deere?
I ride in traffic. I either keep up with the cars and follow the laws, or get out of the way.
And defensive biking is 10x more important than defensive driving. You have no mass as a biker. Each of those cars can kill you. Ride accordingly!
Probably not so well.
And we do have idiots here that will block the lane and look at you as if you are the idiot.
Flipside, we have idiots who will try to tag you with the vehicle simply because you are there, doesn't matter if you are on the other side of the white line or not.
I was on grass when I had a truck try to hit me.
When I drive, it's a 4 door Tundra 4x4. When I'm home, I'm armed. 2hen I bike, I have double blinkers front and back, masses of flourescent, etc. When I vote, I vote as conservative as is available. Biking is not a political act. :-)
If bicycles were banned this wouldn't have happened.
"I wonder how a group of bicycles would do against a 13,000lb John Deere?"
Question hard to answer without knowing if the Bush Hog attachments were turning .......
I'd probably have to stop from time to time and clear the shreaded spandex from the radiator to avoid overheating the engine.
It sure seems to be taken as a political act on FR.
And I suppose not just on FR. I had a woman accuse me of "saving the earth" after I got off my bike in a supermarket parking lot. She beamed at me in what she apparently thought was a special moment of communion between two kindred liberal spirits.
I told her firmly that I was not saving the world, I was just riding my bike. I'm certain that she did not understand. If she knew my political views she probably would have spit on me.
My post was a joke. You have the tree hugger smart car driver vs. tree hugger biker. Si?
Over here- it is a political militant act. It drives me nuts. They dart in and out of traffic and ride is a swarm. They love Sunday mornings so they can really mess with people. It is totally out of control. I have even spoken with the police about it, because I am going to have a new driver soon- and they make the roads hazardous. The police agree that they are a huge nuisance and cause danger- but it is a political green movement- and nothing is going to stop them. We even have miles and miles of parks and trials and places for bikes- and they love to mess with drivers. They are not biking to work, in groups of 23-30.

Super Cute in Yellow!
"Great handbag! The yellow is perfect for Fall outfits. Not too big and not too small. Of course, that depends on how much stuff you carry. Me? I'm a lightweight. Carries all I need and the interior zippered and open pockets help to keep my gear organized. I particularly like the exterior zippered pocket. It fits my cell phone perfectly and is easy to open and close. This satchel reminds me of $1,000 designer handbags at a reasonable price. So what if it is not real leatherit surely looks like leather and is supple. Go DSW!"

Skip to comments.Boehner: Obamacare Must Be on Table During Budget Talks
Posted on 11/21/2012 2:48:14 PM PST by diamond6
President Barack Obama must show a willingness to cut back the healthcare reform law during budget negotiations, says House Speaker John Boehner. President Obama has won re-election, but his healthcare law is still driving up costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire workers. As was the case before the election, Obamacare has to go, Boehner writes in the Cincinnati Enquirer. The presidents health care law adds a massive, expensive, unworkable government program at a time when our national debt already exceeds the size of our countrys entire economy. We cant afford it, and we cant afford to leave it intact. Editors Note: New 'Obamacare Survival Guide' Reveals Dangers Ahead for Your Healthcare Thats why Boehner already has made it clear that Obamacare must be part of the congressional-White House discussions on reducing government debt. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to conduct thorough oversight of the executive branch, and congressional oversight will play a critical role in repealing Obamacare going forward, he writes. With the Supreme Court mostly upholding Obamacare and the president winning re-election, that oversight and state actions are the only avenues left for repeal, Boehner says. House committees can go after various elements of Obamacare, he says. And state governments can do their part by resisting government-run insurance exchanges.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
Now you're talking!
Do I dare get my hopes up?
Why? He won.
That's all Bonehead needs to know.
Ain't never ever ever ever gonna happen.
It's only bravado.
It may not be repealed, but we've got to get this POS watered down. It's already having massive problems with funding thanks to GOP governors refusing to implement state exchanges. And businesses are laying off employees left and right.
My prediction if something is done with this monstrosity soon is we will have "10%" official unemployment by the summer, which in reality is much worse.
We can NEVER, NEVER, EVER give up the fight on this. Too much is at stake.
It's a headfake. Will never happen.
We'll get the whole set of higher taxes if Boehner attempts to push this.
Please don't get your hopes up
Boehner will cave
I think this is good because Obama already raised the stakes by raising his demand for new taxes from $800 billion to $1.6 trillion.
I wish our side could play poker with a straight face. Instead they play tiddly winks, giggling and laughing and craying and showing their hand at every turn.
Boehner will cave.
Look for the lines he has used in the past:
"We are only 1/2 of 1/3. What do you expect me to do?"
"It was the best deal I could get."
Boehner is so full of s**t there is nothing left but rounds of laughter and derision following his public announcements.
Why does he even bother? He could just take his donors' campaign contributions and do their bidding without all the BS window dressing, the means and the ends will be the same.
Boner should resign. He is a cry baby, wus and sorry excuse of a real man. If he is the next speaker of the house, I will never vote for a Republican. He has the backbone of a jellyfish. He is a complete waste of human flesh. Do not ask me what I really think of his sorry existence.
I'll believe it when I see it and I won't hold my breath.
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
Tough talk but Bonehead doesn't mean it. If he meant it he would simply not fund ObamaCare.
WOW ! Boner wants ObamaCare on the table? Oh the bawling will get REALLY loud this time as Boner wrings his hands and folds.The further he has to go to fold the more he bawls.
I have no idea why the Repulicans in the Congress want to have Boner. He is a disaster.
what budget. every budget Odumbo submitted was rejected by the Senate. The Senate has not had a budget for over 3 years. Continuing Resolutions is where the issue is to be achieved. Take the so called CR back to 2000 or even back further.
Come on Boehner do you think the American are so stupid that we do not know how screwed up hings are in DC. Boehner when are you going to utilize the backbone God gave you. What about the cahones that you profess to have. Hopefully you are getting a shot of testerone on a regular basis so you stop the senseless weeping and crying.
I will wait and see what happens but I will not hold my breath. Recently Boehner staed that the Republicans must make some sort of compromise to prevent the fiscal cliff. Fiscal Cliff be damned cut , cut and make more cuts. Start in DC - no budget passed by the Senate - no paycheck. Cut the size of government. Eliminate waste. Eliminate needless vacations by Odumbo. Eliminate needless Golfing. Place a moratarorium on Golfing no golf until the issues in DC get discussed. (Taxpayers withold all tax payments, until DC gets its act together).
This has nothing to do with Obama, Boehner, or politics in general. U.S. employers have been giving very strong, unmistakeable signals that they simply can't operate with this kind of nonsense in place. THAT is what is ultimately going to bring Obamacare's demise.
The Marxist POTUS will have Boner tearing up in 10 minutes.
With Boehner, talk is cheap.
It sounds like Boehner isn't so sure that he's going to be Speaker again - otherwise he wouldn't be doing this.
Oh terrific. Bonehead has set it up so that when he caves, he'll cave SPECTACULARLY.
This is much better than the usual crap from Boehner. Now he puts ObamaCare on the table and then during negotiations it comes off the table and we pay more taxes. Before it looked like Boehner's starting place was caving in and paying taxes only to compromise and end up paying even more taxes. so at this point I welcome any slight improvement in our miserable pathetic negotiating position. :-)
Talk about anti-logical.
I will never vote for a tall dark haired man.
I will never vote for a tall dark haired person.
I will never vote for a tall man.
I will never vote for an American.
I will never vote for a....
"It sounds like Boehner isnt so sure that hes going to be Speaker again - otherwise he wouldnt be doing this."
Maybe my wife's call to his office complaining about caving on Obamacare had something to do with that. Ha, ha. :-)
"Before it looked like Boehners starting place was caving in and paying taxes only to compromise and end up paying even more taxes. so at this point I welcome any slight improvement in our miserable pathetic negotiating position. :-)"
Exactly. You got it. When you negotiate, you have to start from a position of strength, not weakness. No reason to feel that Obama has any more of a mandate than the GOP does in the House.
I'm ready to get head over heels over the cliff, if it means we prevent ZERO from causing more harm.
Its our job to hold their feet to the fire. Let's hold them to this.
Talk is cheap Boner. He's still spineless and a cry baby. Bet on BOHICA.
Everyone should be complaining about Boehner to their Congressman. I've sent my letter already. I told him to look at some of the Young Guns and get some new blood in there.
Yes, If repeal of Obamacare isn't in the deal, let the Fiscal deal that's already signed go thru. Show how these Rats demagogued the Bush tax cuts and that they were only for the wealthy.
There for just a split second I thot I saw some hair growing-——but then I realized it must be my imagination. There's already been too many lost opportunities to fertilize that bald spot.
Oh... Crybaby Boner is gonna get tough after declaring "Obamacare the Law of the Land!"
"Its our job to hold their feet to the fire. Lets hold them to this."
Exactly. Let's hold their ass in the fire, too.
"Everyone should be complaining about Boehner to their Congressman. Ive sent my letter already. I told him to look at some of the Young Guns and get some new blood in there."
That's right. And complain to Boehner, too. That's what my wife did, and it might have helped give him a message.
If enough of us complain hard and long enough, they won't be able to ignore it.
does someone hear a little dog barking in the distance ?....oh wait, .. thats Boehner speaking
Did Boner get a spine transplant, or is it just a temporary brace?
We'll find out soon!
...and the EPA, HHS, FCC, etc. No guts.
Talk...nothing but talk. Just wear hip boots so you don't get covered in the manure Boehner is putting out. He's shown his colors and they aren't conservative.
>> " If he meant it he would simply not fund ObamaCare." <<
Boehner has the power to defund anything he wishes; the speaker is the most powerful man in the world because he holds the purse.

Ferron and Castle Dale Baptist Youth took time during their summer vacation to study scriptures, sing songs, play games and enrich their spiritual side during vacation bible school. The Castle Dale theme was, "Under the Sea," and they met in the recreation center. The Ferron youth theme was centered around the military. Youth leaders ages 14-18 years old from San Francisco came to Ferron to help with the bible school. Pastor Shaun Allen teaches in San Francisco and his youth leaders work on projects all year long to share with the children who come to bible school.
The youth leaders learn leadership skills and they learn to do puppet shows to help teach biblical truths to the youngsters. The youth leaders are also planning a mission trip to Brazil. They are involved with schools where they do dramas and help youngsters learn English. The youth leaders stayed at the Baptist Ranch during their visit to Emery County and were involved in activities and service work there. Pastor Allen said it is a lot of fun and a lot of work to bring vacation bible school to the children.

The 65th annual Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show will kick off in Ferron on July 9. According to USU Extension Agent Dennis Worwood, this year's show promises to be a large and competitive event.
Approximately 50 steers, 250 lambs and 140 hogs have been entered by 4-H and FFA members from throughout the state. "We expect about the same number of steers and lambs as last year, but more hogs," Worwood commented. "This is by far the most hog entries we have received in my 20 years with the show."
The hog barn is being expanded to receive the influx of pigs. Show officials expect to have the addition and new pens finished before show time.
Small animals will also be exhibited. A rabbit show will be held at 5 p.m. on July 11. Rabbit show chair Dan James expects exhibitors to learn a great deal from the judge, who is one of the best in the state. A poultry show is scheduled for 5 p.m. on July 10 but may be cancelled because of concerns about Exotic Newcastle Disease. Contact poultry show chair Cody Taylor for information on the poultry show. A livestock judging contest will be held at 10:30 a.m. on July 10. The public is invited to test their livestock judging skills along with 4-H and FFA members. Fitting and Showmanship contests will begin at noon on Thursday, followed by judging of breeding beef and breeding sheep at 3 p.m.
Market animals will be judged on July 11. Market hogs will be shown at 8 a.m., followed by market lambs at 11 a.m. and market steers at 3 p.m. An exhibitors dance will be held at 8:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose building. A buyer's brunch will be held at the multi-purpose building from 9-10:15 a.m. on July 12. The market animal auction begins at 10:30 a.m., with the sale order being lambs, steers, then hogs. "The Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show has the reputation of being a friendly, yet competitive show", Worwood said. "We welcome the public to come and be part of this Castle Country tradition. We appreciate those sponsors who have supported the show so faithfully through the years."

The Kingsford® Points Chase
Chasing Kingsford
Lakeside Smokers Double Down Maine
Eliot, Maine will always hold a special place in the heart of the Lakeside Smokers as they came away from the Mainely Grillin' & Chillin' BBQ Festival as the Kingsford Points Champions and Grand Champions of the entire event. What made the event so special for the Smokers was managing to pull off a rare 'double' securing both the overall Grand Championship and the Kingsford Points Championship.
Sep 07, 2011
With 5 years of competitive cooking under their belts Mike and Kris Boisvert, who compete as the Lakeside Smokers, are just entering into their stride as a competitive barbeque team.
The Lakeside Smokers began competing in 2006 after stumbling upon a barbeque competition at a beer festival. "Beer and brewing was a passionate hobby of mine at the time," states Mike Boisvert. "As I walked around and talked to some of the people there that were barbequing, I realized that beer and barbeque go real nice together! So I jumped in and I've been having a blast ever since."
Along with their French bulldog Maggie, the Smokers compete in about ten to fifteen competitions per year, gaining their first win in 2009.
"You never forget your first Grand Championship," remarked Mike Boisvert. "For us that happened at The Rock N' Ribfest in Merrimack, N.H."
Having squared away a win in Maine and precious Kingsford points, the Lakeside Smokers look to their year-long goal of competing in the Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, Tenn.
"Every year that we compete our goal is to try to get an invite back down there," said Boisvert. "It's a very special place for us barbequers."
Mike states that his most memorable moment is hearing their team name called for third place brisket at 'The Jack.' "Taking that walk to the stage is something that I'll never forget," remarks Boisvert.
With the Kingsford Points Challenge win under their belt and a Grand Championship in Maine, besting 39 other squads, the Lakeside Smokers got exactly what they wanted … the thrill of victory and bragging rights throughout all New England.

So So
You are talking as if there is only one family with a Kurosaki name, which is heavily unlikely. Almost for sure there are a dozens of people with that surname all over Japan, yet are not related to each other. In the current age, surnames aren't as distinctive as some tend to believe. Besides, it's quite likely that the current surnames of Quincy are different from those they had at the and before war. Quincy are supposed to be the smart bunch, I'm pretty sure that they have covered their tracks. If they didn't, then seemingly all of them should have the same surname in order to respect the King and from the fact that it is often that a more prestigious surname is taken regardless if it belonged to the future wife or husband.
Maybe hes the King of Hell lol
and yes Yondaime Kurotsuchi put some antibodies in Uryuu and Sado so he could monitor them from SS, but that was a while ago, don't know if hes still got them in there.
Id like to see Uryuu's new bow and new powers, I really hoped he would go back to his final form from SS arc! I loved that design and the power he had is still kinda unmatched even now
A pie in the sky?
About the bloodline of juha bach that flows through all quincies...... and opie's statement that he needs to tell "your majesty" to increase our blut.... something on those lines...... can bach really adjust the level of power of each quicny ability? or is it just the blut? which could make sense since he might have adjusted Royd's blut and maybe even some of his abilities to closely match/resemble the original bach.... just enough too fool yamamoto in to thinking that he is the "Real" bach.... this could remove my theory and others that royd is more skilled than his other brother llyod, but in reality it was all juha bach's doing.... if he indeed can do such a thing.. if he could to what extent can he do it? is their a limit he could give to every quincy? does it depend on an individuals potential for his/her powers to increase
since i love drama and twisting plots.....could it be possible that juha somehow has the souls of the quincies he sacrificed? for example katagiri?????......maybe that's why uryuu has joined... just a thought though.......
Miau, Miau, Miau.....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
It's also worth considering that the Quincy that Mayuri have experimented on, might have been mostly those whose power was absorbed by Bach, seeing as almost none of them displayed special or even any of their abilities. Unless they were holding back their powers, so that the enemy will not learn of them (though seeing as some broke down and agreed to burn their own children, it seem quite unlikely).
what about uryuu's grandpa???? could he have died because his powers were taken and he was too weak to fight that hollow??????
Miau, Miau, Miau.....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, Ishida doesn't care about the old war 200 years ago, he even mentions that Shinigami were probably right. Thus the only reason to join them, would to be as a double agent in order to avenge his sensei and mother.
Perhaps Ryuken's forced promise on Ishida, of not associating with Shinigami, was from the very beginning meant as a preparation for a cover mission ? Ryuken and Ishida have the same reason to go after Quincy after all.

Very elegant style but shimmer gets all over
"I loved this clutch out of the packet. Although didnt expect so much glitter as it was supposed to be nude glitter. Felt so good in the hand and looked classy when held. very good quality on the inside. Although the shimmer got on everything it touched. Went back. Also, the magnetic button was a bit hard to align & close."

Last edited by westerwind; 02-26-2014 at 12:15 PM.
and it's good
Obito has ripped out a bit of the ichibi and hachibi, and Madara totally ripped on him for being weak. I have a feeling it was no coincidence that he took chakra from the only two bijou that Naruto didn't already have. That Kakashi team up was awesome, I really hope Kakashi is still alive when Naruto returns.
I have a feeling mr mystery man (Kabuto) at Sasuke's side is reviving Sasuke as part of some itachi mandated redemption.
The chapter was good. but seriously, Madara did nothing to prove himself the kind of bad ass he is until now. Is stealing Bijju chakra like this suppose to be that easy? On the other hand I was hoping to see some Obito and Kakashi fighting together with Madara but I guess going to save Naruto is the best option because in the end they both cannot win against Madara.
I feel that Kakashi did not get hit by that black ball may be forth jumped again in way with thunder god technique. On page 14, what exactly forth did because Madara attacked with two black balls and then Forth with the Kunai in the mouth and then he was on the ground and balls still going to hit Obito and Kakashi and then again Forth with kunai in the mouth, couldn't get it at all.
Now we see in next chapter the forbidden jutsu of GAI, and may be he will die too because the last gate opening can cause severe damage to the body so that technique should be lethal too. and .. in the end it will not take much effect on Madara
Obito is giving Naruto the other have of 9-tales which black zetsu stole along with some portion of Itchibi and Hachibi taken from Madara. also where is the power of all Bijju's which they give Naruto? if he still have them then this will give him some special level powers of sage of six path but again not enough to beat Madara. He still need Sasuke help to defeat Madara. Sasuke will get some extra boost in powers too from whoever comes to save him. Desperately waiting for the next chapter.

Yeah now Naruto has energy from all 9 Bijuu....
- He mentions that Obito uses Sage mode...I guess he got some of that power for a reason as well.
- However once Obito gives Naruto that power wont he die as well.....or maybe that's what sage mode is for.
- It still has not explained what happened to KB but I assume the tentacle that was ripped off contains enough energy to keep him alive.
- I think Sasuke's body will heal itself since he has Hashirama's chakra
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I wonder what will happen now that Naruto has the energy of all the nine Bijuu... Will he finally become the true reincarnation of the so6p?
I think he took the One-tails and Eight-tails chakra so that if Naruto were again enter into a chakra tag-n-war he will be able to pull them out of Madara. I am not sure if he knows about what the So6P said to the tailed beasts when they were younger.
I don't think the Term "Sage Mode" meant the sage modre that Hashirama and Nruto and Yondaime Use. Madara could be refering to the power of the SO6P instead, since Obito did regain his SO6P appearance, an he has kept the staff.
Now what I am looking for in the next battle/chapter:
1) Naruto regains consciousness
2) Naruto begins to look like the SO6P even without going into Tailed beast Mode, or Kyuubi Chakra mode.
3) Obito seals the Juubi's arm in Naruto.
Question, will Obito give Madara's rinnegan to Naruto?
Will obito die soon after he gives up the Kyuubi?
Naruto gains the Yang Kyuubi, is that significantly different from the Yin Kyuubi's effects?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Noooo, why Kishi, why ? You should have pulled the the Dimension Cutting Susanoo first... oh well.
"These are my classmates ? Fuck my life..." Kakashi would certainly NOT say that... shame on you Mangastream, shame on you.
So the missing Bijuu and the Gedou Arm are all in one place with Naruto now... well guess it's time to witness their proper forms (not to forget that Naruto has the "proper" Sealing Jutsu of So6p) ?
So Tajiutsu can bounce out the Black Balls ? Then does this mean that the reason that it cut through the ET, was because the Edo Body is a jutsu itself ? Also, why hasn't Minato's arm returned yet ? Hiruzen's whole body that was destroyed by those balls is already in one piece, yet Minato's arm is still missing...

IntroductionZaporizhzhya (zäpˌərĭzhˈə) [key], Rus. Zaporozhye, city (1989 pop. 884,000), capital of Zaporizhzhya region, in Ukraine, a port on the Dnieper River, opposite the island of Khortytsya. The city, founded in 1770 on the site of the Zaporizhzhya Cossack camp, consists of old Zaporizhzhya (called Aleksandrovsk before 1921) and the new industrial Zaporizhzhya, which developed during the 1930s and adjoins the Dniprohes installations and the port of Lenin.
It is a major rail junction and industrial center and the site of the Dniprohes dam and power station, one of the country's largest hydroelectric plants. Large quantities of grain are exported. The city has steel mills, coking plants, aluminum and magnesium works, and factories that produce automobiles, farm machinery, and transformers. Well supplied with electricity, Zaporizhzhya forms, together with the adjoining Donets Basin and the Nikopol manganese and Kryvyy Rih iron mines, one of Ukraine's leading industrial complexes. The high concentration of older industry, however, has had a harmful effect on air quality.

All drain lines are clean, we took them apart and checked, but the tub still drains so slow that you can't see it happen. The tub is on the first floor with the drain lines in the basement. The line only runs about seven feet to the main and connects after the toilet that flushes very well and before the sink that also drains well. We checked the drop and it is a little over 2 inches over the seven feet. We have run out of ideas and stopped at Home Depot to talk but we only managed to stump them. If you have any sugestions we would be very grateful. Thank You

Skip to comments.What Does The 2nd Amendment Mean?
Posted on 01/24/2013 8:02:29 AM PST by Resettozero
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.Amendment II
Some of the recent attacks on the 2nd Amendment and lawful gun owners by the gun grabbers have focused on the meaning of the words in the Amendment. Particularly, gun grabbers have zeroed in on what the Founding Fathers meant by the words well regulated Militia.
So what did the Founders mean when they penned and approved those words? As Thomas Jefferson suggested in a letter to William Johnson, On every question of construction (of the Constitution) let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.
(Excerpt) Read more at personalliberty.com ...
When there are no guns, the Leviathan is enabled to march towards total tyranny.
A state where only the government has weapons is not a free state but is in fact a slave state!!!!
FREEDOM FROM A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT. Like we have now.
The "well-regulated militia" thing is solely a STATE function. The individual's rights, in addition to participation in a STATE function, ABOVE ALL and supreme to ALL are covered by the last part.....IOW it goes, "We the people", the STATES (the rights we give them), and then the Federal Government (those rights not claimed by the STATES) delegated to the Federal Government.
As far as I'm concerned these United States are people, states, THEN Federal Government.
One thing is very clear. The Bill of Rights pertains to each and everyone of us as individuals.
Various wordings of the Second Amendment were tried during its development. The end result *purposefully* leaves out any enumeration of reasons why an individual has the right to keep and bear Arms. Any reason *why* an individual may or may not keep and bear Arms, was left to the states and the people thereof, to settle among themselves.
The only enumeration in the Second Amendment focuses on what to do about a group of men under Arms - what is to happen when individuals who bear military grade Arms are in a group, and they *are* capable of exercising martial power. What *then,* was to become of that power?
The answer was, that both the states and the federal government would rely upon *the group* being formally mustered, well-regulated, well trained to Arms, well discplined, and answerable to civilian authority.
Both the states and the federal government sought unity of function and preparedness of the militia of each state. The state militiae should be "well trained to Arms" and be capable of, and mindful of, lawfully exercising martial power and respecting lawful civilian authority.
In the old days up to around WW-I times and for a while thereafter, there was a tradition of local militia drilling on the common, the town green, or the county fairgrounds. It gave people an opportunity to remain somewhat familiar with military duty; it helped to keep them from becoming too rusty. It demonstrated the proper practices and discipline *for all to see.*
It is a shame that most communities and counties and states got out of that practice.
All the uses of weapons, firearm or not, for non-military purposes, were left to be decided by the states and their people.
Again, there would be no condition within the Second Amendment, by which you do, or do not, have the right to keep and bear Arms; because, the Founding Fathers correctly anticipated that any such enumerated condition might be used as grounds for an individual to either be forced to bear Arms or be stripped of their Arms.
It really hasn't changed.
Your post is as good or better than the one I posted to start this thread. Thank you.
Not being real big on details in history, I don't remember reading about the government(s) "issuing" weapons to the troops so the troops had to already own them, is that right?
It doesn't matter. The second part is all that matters...We The People shall not be denied our right to keep and bear arms to afford us protection against a well regulated militia.
The Federal Constitution extends the basic Rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights rights to future States and territiories or to those states where these basics are not mentioned.
Extravagant as the supposition is, let it however be made. Let a regular army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger. The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence. It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops. Those who are best acquainted with the last successful resistance of this country against the British arms, will be most inclined to deny the possibility of it. Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it.
The Federalist Papers are available at: http://avalon.law.yale.edu/subject_menus/fed.asp
Note, the militia is opposed to the standing army.
Also note, "the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation"
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government." - Jefferson
The militia is divided into two groups: the Reserve Militia, defined as all able-bodied men between 18 and 45, and the Organized Militia, defined as state units receiving federal support.
The Militia Act of 1903, also known as the Dick Act, repealed The Militia Act of 1792.
This Act is printed in the Statutes at Large, Volume 32, on page 775, available at: http://www.constitution.org/uslaw/sal/032_statutes_at_large.pdf
Here is the relevant part:
To promote the efficiency of the militia, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the militia shall consist of every able-bodied male citizen of the respective States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, and every able-bodied male of foreign birth who has declared his intention to become a citizen, who is more than eighteen and less than forty-five years of age, and shall be divided into two classesthe organized militia, to be known as the National Guard of the State, Territory, or District of Columbia, or by such other designations as may be given them by the laws of the respective States or Territories, and the remainder to be known as the Reserve Militia.
Further amendments to this Act have not modified this basic structure.
Unfortunately, any appeal to "original intent" is dismissed out of hand by leftists. One of the tenets of their ideology is that the determinations of the elite that are alive today supercede all previous determinations in history.
There is no debate left to win that will prevent disarmament attempts, as we are not dealing with honorable people with a different political point of view. We are dealing with a marxist cabal intent on OUR VERY DEATHS.
I will not disarm and therefore these discussions are irrelevant.
We are now under full blown psychological warfare attack, and this type of talk is the only thing of any effect in this environment.
My shapely young wife and I homeschooled our two before it was a cool thing to do. Those glorious days are past for us but one of the benefits of our homeschooling remains: We've got the American history books and printed copies of many documents that one day may be unavailable on the Internet.
Can you imagine if the his highness and NY gov kkkuomo said "We're not abotu takign away your right to free speech, However, if tyou fail to register yourself, or if you refuse to take a mental health exam to determien your eligibility to speak freely, you will no logner be allowed to speak freely in public or in NY or in Washinton or wherever we determine'?
Yet that is eactly what htey are doign with hte second amendment and noone apparently cares enough to stop them- the peopel howeveer woudl be screaming bloody murder if they tried that with the freedom of speech- liberal groups would be all up in arms over the 'aggregious violations to the constitution'
The left is incapable of feelign shame
Now, THAT post does like a lot like Olde English!
It means "don't f*** with me."

In the 1700's, the words "well-regulated" meant well trained.
Visions of Fahrenheit 451... each person (subversive) memorized a book since books had been outlawed.
The liberals and many conservatives gasp in horror at this idea- there MUST be some limits. Well, there are- the market. How many of us can afford an H-bomb?
And liberals and many conservatives gasp- But felons shouldn't be allowed t have guns! and crazy people! Well those folks are barred by UNConstitutional laws already. How have those laws worked out? It is already Constitutionally illegal for these people, or any people (except maybe, members of Congress) to do the things we fear they might do if they have arms or if they use other sorts of implements or their bare hands or pens, for that matter.
This is where Hannity and other talk show guys get it wrong and hand the argument over to the gun banners. If you admit of some limits, sensible limits in Hannity's own head, then you have to draw the line somewhere and such lines have always proved easy to move or they get all squiggly and broken up. It is harder to defend an arbitrary line than it is to defend an absolute principle, which is what is written into the actual 2nd Amendment. When you draw arbitrary lines you become Boehner. Lines are always negotiable.
Allow me to Repost from an older Thread:
Penn and Teller did an episode of their Showtime Bullshit Show on the Second Amendment.
They even explained how the sentence structure and how the Amendment was worded did NOT mean that The People had to be part of an organized Militia, which is how Liberals argue against Individual Gun Ownership.
Link below to a small clip, and there is a bit of graphic language, which I always expect from Penn.
I agree about the relevancy of what militia has to do with the basic individual's rights has to to with owning a gun. However, your interpretation of the forematter is different from my interpretation. Your definitions are interpretations as are mine. I choose to believe We The People, STATES, and then Federal Government (if no objections are present from the prior).
It means "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Pretty darned clear.
The predatory "militia" stuff either means everyone expected to fight for their nation has a right to no less that full military weaponry (as they may not have a source of it once combat commences), or that having a standing army (which the Founding Fathers were reluctant to authorize) did not in any way justify disarming the people.
Either way, the declaratory clause is crystal clear. It's only not clear to those who WANT to throw mud on it.
You got it!
United States Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story (1779-1845) was a famous jurist, and his Commentaries was a very influential treatise on United States
Some background information on Justice Story
See: http://www.belcherfoundation.org/joseph_story_on_church_and_state.htm
United States Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story (1779-1845) was a famous jurist, and his Commentaries was a very influential treatise on United States constitutional law. Story, first a Jeffersonian Republican and then (following his appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States by President James Madison), a Federalist, was one of the United States' most influential Supreme Court justices. His tenure on the Supreme Court spanned three decades, from 1811 to 1845. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Story was elected to the Hall of Fame. His views on the Constitution of the United States are still widely respected.
Justice Joseph Story's first wife, Mary Lynde Fitch Oliver (1781-1805), whom he married on December 9, 1804, was a descendant of Governor Jonathan Belcher's sister Elizabeth Belcher Oliver (1678-1736).
4th sentence of § 1890.
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has been justly considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic." Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story.
See: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1088728
See Also: http://home.comcast.net/~dsmjd/tux/dsmjd/rkba/story.htm
One of the most influential early commentators on the U.S. Constitution was Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story. In his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, vol. 3 at pp. 746-747 (1833), he has the following to say about the Second Amendment:
"§ 1889. The next amendment is "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
"§ 1890. The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of [st]anding armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facilee means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. [FN1] And yet, thought this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burthens, to be rid of all regulations. How is it practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization, it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger, that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights. [FN2]
[FN1]: 1 Tucker's Black. Comm. App.300; Rawle on Const. ch.10, p.125; 2 Lloyd's Debates, 219,220.
[FN2]: It would be well for Americans to reflect upon the passage in Tacitus, (Hist.IV ch.74): "Nam neque quies sine armis, neque arma sine stipendis, neque stipendia tributis, haberi queunt." Is there any escape from a large standing army, but in a well disciplined militia? There is much wholesome instruction on this subject in 1. Black.Comm. ch.13, p.408 to 417.
[FN3]: 5 Cobbett's Parl. Hist. p.110; 1 Black.Comm. 143, 144.
And now some commentary from the late 20th Century:
Justice Story's passage on the Second Amendment supports the proposition that the phrase "well regulated" militia does not mean regulated as not mean regulated as we, citizens living under the omnipresent regulation of the post-New Deal federal government understand "regulation." Instead, "well regulated" in this context, means "properly functioning" and "uniformly equipped." Note how Justice Story laments Jacksonian America's growing indifference and hostility to maintaining a well regulated militia -- not on political or philosophical grounds, but rather because Americans were getting lazy! In fact, I'd say he [Justice Story] was prescient, in respect to the last sentence of § 1890. As for § 1891, history repeats itself, as we in the US have allowed our RKBA [Right to Keep and Bear Arms] to become undermined under various pretenses, such as "the war on crime," or the specious argument that of all rights of "the people" enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment alone applies to states, not individuals.
Definition of palladium: noun Chemistry .

They know all about bearing arms. Just go through the genealogical websites and you can see the families there who have borne arms for almost 400 years.
Gimme a break- the Second Amendment is not written on paper in ink- It is written on the bloodied battlefields of our forefathers.
Excellent news to me. Good to see He still gets passing mention by our government, albeit insincere.
I really like this simple but forceful lesson in History. Don't remember seeing it before. Love it, especially the smacks with the pointer! Thank you.
Actually you can shout "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. If there is no cause for your action you will be held accountable for any damage, injuries, or deaths that result from your action.
The RKBA has similar responsibilities. If there is no cause for your action you will be held accountable for any damage, injuries, or deaths that result from your action.
Among many grand things, it probably also means I die at my front door when they come for my gun(s).
Nice post. Wish you could influence my two Dem ex-Marines friends who give me grief over practically everything I believe, I still like their companionship and still am praying.
"I will not disarm and therefore these discussions are irrelevant."
I stand with you, for Liberty.

On Impressions, the Percentages and Jordan Schroeder's Two-Way Play
Thomas Drance
February 11 2013 12:23PM
Photo Credit: Les Bazso, PNG Files
While Henrik Sedin closes in on Markus Naslund's all-time franchise points leader milestone, Jordan Schroeder is approaching his own milestone. It's one that barely warrants mention but is hugely impressive nonetheless: barring some unforseen catastrophe, the impressive Canucks rookie will play his one-hundredth minute at even-strength in the first period of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Mild (TM @Socialassassin2).
Why is that impressive? Because in Jordan Schroeder's ninety-eight minutes and twenty-six seconds of even-strength ice-time so far this season, the Canucks have yet to surrender a goal against. Read on past the jump.
This may read as if it's harsh but it's also true: heading into this season, the diminutive Minnesotan speedster was teetering on the edge of being labelled a "draft bust." Selected late in the first round of the 2009 NHL draft, Jordan Schroeder was the 29th of 30th first rounders that year to make his NHL debut. Schroeder's AHL production has never jumped off the page at you, and doubts about whether or not he had the size to be effective as a two-way player were seemingly well-founded.
So far, and it's early yet, Jordan Schroeder has looked like he belongs at the NHL level. His skating ability is high-end - not that there were any doubts about that facet of his game - and he uses his speed well to transition on zone-exits, enter the zone offensively, and he backchecks like a demon. His positioning is solid, and it's my impression that he has a Kyle Wellwood-dian ability to be in the right place, at the right time in order to recieve the all important outlet pass that helps Vancouver's defenders clear their zone when facing pressure.
Schroeder even started out winning face-offs at a very impressive rate - especially for a diminutive rookie - though his faceoff percentage has tailed off of late (this is an area of the game where young players do tend to struggle). Still, his two-way play and his winning percentage on defensive zone draws has been solid enough that it seems likely he won't struggle to stay in the lineup the way, say, Cody Hodgson did.
There's reason to believe, I think, that Jordan Schroeder has the wherewithal to remain in Vancouver's top-nine upon Ryan Kesler's return from two offseason surgeries: whether as a sheltered third-line centre, or as a hybrid type center with Kelser moving over to the wing. That said, looks can be decieving especially when that's all you use to evaluate a players performance over a miniscule sample of games.
As the Canucks' schedule shifted over the past week, and Vancouver began to feast on a steady diet of inferior Northwest Division opposition, Jordan Schroeder's possession ratios have begun to improve. But Schroeder remains a slightly negative possession player despite facing relatively soft matchups and starting a slighlty higher proportion of his shifts in the offensive end than the defensive end.
In fact, before we get carried away praising Jordan Schroeder's defensive abilities, we should note that his underlying metrics suggest that he's due for some very serious regression. For example, with Schroeder on the ice the Canucks allow shots against at a higher rate when only three Canucks forwards are on the ice: Alex Burrows, Chris Higgins and Jannik Hansen; and those three have played the toughest matchups among all Vancouver forwards through eleven games this season. Jordan Schroeder's defensive play passes the eye-test, but looking good defensively when you've got a 108 PDO (a metric that can be used as a short-hand measurement of "puck luck" anything above 100 is seen as "fortunate") isn't the same as actually being the type of quality defensive player who can actually help a good teams win games.
Schroeder's inauspicious underlying numbers through nine games aren't comeplling enough yet (sample size etc.) for us to blow off the impression that he's already a reasonably capable two-way forward. That's an impression we share, frankly, but the numbers are essential context. Basically we don't know very much about how effective Jordan Schroeder is at the NHL level yet, beyond the fact that he's surpassed any reasonable expectations for his NHL-readiness up to this point. It'll be fascinating to find out more over the balance of this season.
Defensively, he reminds me of Larionov.
It looks like we're starting to become the detroit model GMMG has been pushing for years. Rookie's are brought up when they can contribute. Whether he's the defensive dynamo or not is besides the point, he's definitely not a liability out there, and if he can provide us some cheap ELC offense, all the better.

Social Agenda No 34 features the European Commission's recent proposal to concretely help EU workers who want to move, or already have moved, within the European Single Market. Although the EU legislation on the freedom of movement of workers dates back to 1968, the right to equal treatment with the workers of the host country (i.e. non-discrimination on the grounds of nationality) is still not familiar to many, including among national and local civil servants. Social Agenda also looks from an employment and social affairs angle at the EU budgetary framework leading up to 2020, the need for common European indicators to improve cohesion policy and the 2013 European Semester. And it explains why "Social Europe" is one of the European Commission's most popular social media platforms. Social Agenda is available in printed format in English, French and German.

How To Get Rid Of Fibroid Tumors Naturally
If you have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you may be both disappointed and surprised at the lack of conventional treatment options offered to you by your own doctor. Many will recommend that you do nothing at all, and simply monitor the situation, seeking further advice should your symptoms worsen. This is largely due to the fact that conventional treatment has severe limitations and cannot offer a permanent solution.
Alternatively, if you would like to know how to get rid of fibroid tumors naturally, there is much you can do providing you are prepared to put in some effort. Although the "watchful waiting" approach is fine for women who have very few symptoms, for those who have years to go to the menopause and who have fibroids which are severely impacting on their quality of life, this is simply unsatisfactory.
Although experts still cannot determine exactly what causes fibroids in an individual, this is because it is believed that a range of primary and secondary factors are involved which interact with the woman's own genetic make up. This is why women with seemingly similar lifestyles and apparent causal factors can have completely different experiences as far as their health is concerned.
A great starting point to get rid of fibroid tumors naturally is to begin with your diet. There is so much written about how what we eat impacts on your health and there is little doubt that eating the right kinds of foods and avoiding those which aggravate the condition can help to shrink fibroids.
The first step is to aim to be at a healthy weight for your height as the excess estrogen which is stored in, and produced by fat cells can contribute to fibroid growth. In general, the lower your body fat, the lower your estrogen levels will be. A healthy fibroid diet will also promote weight management. You should aim to eat between 5-10 portions of fresh fruits and vegetables each day, concentrating on dark colored produce, such as kale, cabbage, blueberries and beetroot. Beans, nuts, lentils and seeds are all good foods for fibroid sufferers as are wholegrains. Aim to eat organic produce as this will limit your intake of chemicals and pesticides.
For those wanting to know how to get rid of fibroid tumors naturally, your fluid intake is vital. Aim to drink at least 2 liters of filtered water to help cleanse your body and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Environmental toxins and pesticides are believed to play a part in fibroid growth. These can become "locked" in the liver and continue to exert an effect on fibroid growth unless eliminated. The normal bodily excretion process is not always effective at removing these compounds and so a thorough liver detox is a good way to achieve this.
A combination of effort and knowledge can help you to get rid of fibroid tumors naturally and I believe that the best way is to use a multifaceted holistic approach which systematically eliminates each and every cause of fibroids, thus bringing the body back to a state of balance.
One woman who used the system I recommend reported that:
"During early 2008, I tried this system and it finally gave me the freedom to enjoy life again. After suffering from terrible symptoms, I was very close to having a hysterectomy and this was a last-ditch attempt to something myself. Almost 2 years later, I no longer have any symptoms and my largest fibroid is so small that I no longer notice it. Fibroids Miracle taught me how to get rid of fibroid tumors naturally and I don't have the heavy bloating or bleeding any longer"

Parallel Rules
Parallel rules help draftsmen, surveyors, cartographers, architects, and navigators draw accurate parallel lines. The instrument comes in two main forms: two rectangular straight edges connected by brass or silver hinges, or a single frame surrounding a roller. The first type was known in Europe by 1600, while Englishman A. George Eckhardt is credited with inventing the second in 1771. The parallel rule was superseded for most uses by the T-square in the 19th century, but navigators continue to use parallel rules in conjunction with gridded charts.
The mathematics collections contain about twenty parallel rules and combination instruments, dating from the late 18th century to the late 20th century and ranging in length from 6 to 24 inches. The objects are made from ebony and other woods, brass, German silver, and plastic. They were manufactured in the United States, England, Italy, and Taiwan. They were used for military surveying, in navigation, in business, in art and technical drawing, and for placing handles on caskets. Several of the objects in this group illustrate innovations added to the basic instrument.
The digitization of this group of artifacts was made possible through the generous support of Edward and Diane Straker.

Carrington's Patent Rolling Parallel Rule
- Description
- A 14" trapezoidal mahogany frame with metal end pieces covers two mahogany rollers that rotate on metal shafts. A paper label is marked: CARRINGTON'S PATENT PARALLEL RULER, FOR COUNTING HOUSES, &C. The label is decorated with an eagle over a shield with arrows in its claws. The eagle's beak holds a banner marked: E PLURIBUS UNUM.
- On April 14, 1832, James Carrington of Wallingford, Conn., patented a parallel ruler that was later manufactured by William Hill of Wallingford. The rollers were raised in order to prevent ink from smearing as the ruler was moved across a drawing. In 1849 the U.S. House of Representatives ordered six dozen of the rulers from R. Farnham, a stationer in Washington, D.C., for $2.30 per dozen. This suggests the rules were used relatively widely for a significant period of time. Before he built a dam and factory in Wallingford around 1830, Carrington was a supervisor and inspector at the Harpers Ferry and Springfield armories.
