There IS movement in the boat!
He just sat up in the boat.
...and in the boat?
Obama and his handlers are in deep doo doo if the guy lives.
This is Fast and Furious 2.0
Back of the boat, fence side.
Sitting up again.
Center of the boat, fence side.
I think they're talking about the fuel tank now..
the boat in this satellite photo.
Yelllow house (last house on Birch) behind the boat has young children, officers waiting for evac before engaging.
Gitmo is nice this time of yr.
Boston wants lights on boat, FBI says no,
planning to place ordinance in the boat
Planning an assualt, someone doesn't want this guy alive. Now they are saying a fire on the boat
Which is unfortunate. I kinda hope they get him alive.
Fire or flame on boat at this time...
Flash bang device.
Sounds like FBI is moving ahead; they own this apparently. Flashbang into the boat.
Flash-bangs coming.
Stand by for bang, all units do not return fire
A nations security contacted the Holder run FBI about these guys.
They even had the state press doing all it could to get the public focused away form their philosophical allies.
This is Fast and Furious 2.0.
Exciting stuff.. He's trapped in a boat.
Not my first choice for a fast get-away vehicle.
HRT just declared they were planning to execute him.
higher up just came in and called for radio silence during execution.
We're watching a live execution.
FBI Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) is the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation's counter-terrorism Special Forces tactical or SWAT team.
They are approaching boat with armor-shielded BearCat
This scum and and buddy killed a LEO last night he is as good as dead it is only a matter of minutes now.
Back in the truck...
Damn, I thought they had him, apparently they're still in the flash bang phase, they say no movement for subject.
no movement from subject
Why not hit him with a tranquilizer dart?"
wow sounds like it. I'm on mnsbc hilarious> crissy talking to andrea mitchell with an "andrea's house of pizza" sign in the background!!LOL!
Crissy says its "like a Lillian Hellman film"!
HRT sees no lights or fire,
another flash bang set off,
still no movement
Maybe he blowed hiseff up.....
police switch to secure channels?
Sounds like they did two flashs bands or is that just me?
Talking about trying to get negotiations started . . . .
is there any sound from this?
I can see the scanner but hear nothing
Explosions heard. Might be blowing himself up. Obama's Martyr
"get some guys from up top thinking about negotiations"?
negotiations? You have to be kidding
My wife just said the same thing.
I got sound. Turn the O-N-O-F-F switch to the O-N position on your speakers. :)
check volume in lower left of player,
other than that I don't know what to tell you.
Screw that. Kill him.
We want him alive, we don't want the cops to execute him.
" Negative movement...he`s on his back"

negative movement, he's on his back

There's nothing you or your child could have done to prevent type 1 diabetes; there is currently no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes.
Tests can be done in children who have a high risk of developing type 1 diabetes to see if they have any of the antibodies associated with this disorder. However, the presence of these antibodies doesn't mean that diabetes is a certainty, and there's currently no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes if the antibodies are found.
Researchers are working on preventing type 1 diabetes in people who have a high risk of developing the disease, such as those who have the type 1 antibodies, and others are working on preventing further destruction of the islet cells in people who are newly diagnosed.
Some children with type 1 diabetes may be eligible for clinical trials, but you need to carefully weigh the risks and benefits of any treatment available in a clinical trial with your doctor.
While there's nothing you could have done to prevent your child's diabetes, you can help your child prevent complications due to type 1 diabetes by helping him or her maintain good blood sugar control as much as possible.
In addition, be sure to schedule regular visits with your child's diabetes doctor and a yearly eye exam beginning no more than five years after the initial diabetes diagnosis.
And, like everyone else, people with type 1 diabetes should eat a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables and whole grains and participate in regular physical activity to help keep their hearts healthy.

The Emery County Municipal Building Authority met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Sept. 3 at 2 p.m. in the commission chambers. Those present were Commissioners Randy Johnson, Drew Sitterud and Ira Hatch. Randy Jensen, board member was also present.
The first item on the agenda was the approval of a request for an emergency grant from the Community Impact Board to conduct a study to determine where Electric Lake is losing water and to conduct drilling to test the aquifer to determine its size and other components. Commissioner Johnson said he would plead the case for the grant at the CIB meeting in Cedar City on Sept. 4. Emery, Carbon and Sanpete counties are working together to investigate the water issue. Commissioner Johnson said the results of the study will be used to provide information for future decisions. The grant for $594,000 was approved at the CIB meeting for the emergency study.
Commissioner Johnson said the bond for the public safety complex had been finalized and it was 30 minutes ahead of the deadline. Jay Bunker from Sahara, the contractor for the public safety complex and the courts building gave an update on the courts building. The roof is going on and they have been framing for two weeks and should be installing dry wall within three weeks. Also on the jail side, the sallyport floor will be repaired.
A motion was made to pay Sahara all the money that was available in the escrow account for the purpose of paying the contractor.. The motion was made with the provision that the full-draw can be made when the money becomes available. With funds from the escrow account and building authority funds for that purpose, the contractor Sahara will be paid in full for the public safety complex project.
The construction of the communications tower has been completed and the move is in process into the jail facility. Other bills for public notices and temporary power at the jail facility were also approved and paid.
Commissioner Sitterud gave an update on the incubator building. He said the current occupant, Dodd Wilstead will be installing a temporary drain fill at the building. He also said that Stilson Construction has looked at the building and they do not have the numbers back yet on the cost of building a room for sand blasting.
The minutes were approved from the previous building authority meeting. At the previous municipal building authority meeting on Aug. 15 there were certain questions that arose concerning the budget for the courts building, renovation of the existing courts facility, and the guaranteed maximum price for the project. Project Manager, Todd Kitchen responded to these questions in a letter to the commissioners. The question of whether or not the renovation of the existing courts building was included in the budget for the new courts facility was answered. The budgets given to the MBA on Aug. 6, 2001 and June 28 of this year, show the renovations in a separate section from and not a part of the new courts building costs. The new courts building cost, which includes the county attorney finish package, stands at $1,936,700, which is slightly lower than the Aug. 6, 2001 projection. The question of whether the public safety complex and the courts contract had been brought to a guaranteed maximum price was discussed at the meeting as well. Since that time Kitchen has learned that the public safety complex was brought to a GMP on Nov. 1, 2001. This guaranteed maximum price was listed at $4,555,555. The courts building contract has not yet been formally amended, however, Sahara is ready to complete this action. The public safety complex and the courts facility budget summary on Aug. 23, was listed with the total budget for both projects at $6,988,973. The public safety complex building GMP is listed at $4,706,280. The guaranteed maximum price includes the additional items as requested by the owner for a total of $51,900. These additions and upgrades included: bullet resistant glazing, generator upgrade, additional site grading, inmate visiting separations, added security electronics and miscellaneous items. The combined costs of installing the utilities to the site was $150,725. This amount was higher than the utility companies originally indicated.
The courts facility MBA is listed at $1,936,700, this amount includes $40,000 for the finish of the county attorney's space. The following budget items are included in the municipal building authority budget: land costs, $25,000, telephone to the site, $50,993, highway turning lane, $15,000, renovate existing court house, $50,000, sheriff's office furniture, $75,000, county attorney furniture, $20,000, justice court furniture, $20,000, onsite metal building, $90,000, these items total $345,993.Kitchen said he has heard there has been some confusion about the project concerning the budget. The main misconception being that the project is overbudget. This is not the case and a number of costs have gone down explained Kitchen.

How bout Delia?
Thanks to all of you who responded to my post earlier today! Some great suggestions and unfortunately many ones that I love but cannot use for one reason or another. Still stumped! Anyone who'e not familiar with me, I was really going for an Irish or at least Irish sounding name to honor our family's roots. Our other children do not have authentic Irish names so that's not necessary for baby #3. Stepson Mason has an Irish middle, and my daughter is Brenna. Both a little modern but not "out there." In a rare moment earlier, my husband actually suggested a girls name (all I ever hear from him are boys' suggestions, if any). He likes Delia. It doesn't have an Irish feel, but I thought about pairing it with an Irish name like Maeve and started to like it.. Delia Maeve. What do you think? Is the first name way too Greek sounding to go with my other kids and our "Mc" last name?

"i love the shoes! I bought a black. you should buy a size or half size up. Although it was a bit uncomfortable because the inner sole is hard, aside that its good. I got loads of compliments!"

"I ordered these booties as a birthday gift to myself, and I'm SO happy I did! I absolutely LOVE them. The mix of suede and sparkles makes them great for dressing up but also good for pairing with a casual outfit. They're super comfortable. The only small complaint I have is if you don't wear long leggings or something, the ankle sparkles may scratch your leg."

"I just got these in black and I LOVE them. They are so cute. I took the advice on here and ordered a little bigger (1/2 size up) and they fit perfect. I was a little worried to see how "flashy" they would be in person, but with the black on black the glitter doesn't stand out too much. They are a little hard to walk in, but most cute shoes are. :)"

USA TODAY markets reporter Matt Krantz answers a different reader question every weekday. To submit a question, e-mail Matt at email@example.com.
Q: Is it true that the first day of the month has been the most profitable for investors?
A: Staying invested over the long term is the best way for most people to make money in stocks. But if there's one day to be in the market, it's been the first day of the month.
It may be due to a strange quirk of the calendar, a hard-to-explain connection with lunar cycles, or likely just a random pattern, but the first day of the month has been a big winner for investors.
TRACK STOCKS: Get real-time quotes with our free Portfolio Tracker
Consider two investors with $10,000 to put into the market in the year 2000. One investor put the $10,000 into stocks and held on. That investor's $10,000 would be worth $10,299 as of Jan. 31, 2013, a pretty underwhelming 3% gain, excluding dividends, according to an analysis by S&P Capital IQ's Howard Silverblatt.
But the other investor put the $10,000 in the market on the first day of the month, then sold the next day, repeating the buy-and-sell sequence each month. That first-day-a-month investor's $10,000 would now be worth $13,747, or a 37% gain.
But don't assume that this strategy will repeat. Keep in mind, too, by getting in and out of the market investors will miss out on dividends. Dividends, historically, account for about a third of stock's total returns.
And remember the stock market has done extraordinarily poorly since 2000. Even that "winning" strategy of investing the first day of the month only generated a 2.5% annual return. Long-term investors who have stuck with stocks for decades, though, have earned closer to 10% annual returns.

By PATRICK N. SUNDSTROMEmery
Dear Editor,
There are two things that make this the greatest nation in the history of the world. One is the people who make this country go forward and the other is our Constitution. Without the American people, the most decent and generous people on earth, our country would not function. And without our Constitution, our country and its people would be subjected to the rule of dictators such as Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein and Joseph Stalin.
Our country has been structured under the Constitution to preserve and protect certain freedoms that are essential to maintaining a free and decent society. The most important of these are freedom of religion (not freedom from religion as a lot of liberals would like it to say), freedom of the press and the right to keep and bear arms. If any of these rights are stripped from us or abused to the point which people lose faith and understanding of their meanings, we will start down a slippery slope to destruction.
Since I was young, and more particularly over the last 12 years, I have watched the most powerful part of our national media slip so far to the left that they have totally lost any trace of objectivity whatsoever. And since the elections of President Bush they have gone completely over the edge. The mainstream press has been completely overcome with the obsession to destroy this good and decent man. The degree to which these people and the democrats have sickened me is almost indescribable. They care for nothing except the reacquisition of their power.
I have watched the steady stream of disinformation and complete lies about our president for the last three years. They have trotted out every partisan and propagandist they can find. People like Michael Moore (who was recently employed by USA Today), Richard Clark, and Kitty Kelly. People who can barely get their wild accusations out of their mouth before they are discredited.
An now, in the case of CBS, they have even promoted apparently false documents without even bothering to verify the authenticity of their sources. Whether this is an honest mistake, incompetence, or what, I believe it is a desperate attempt to harm this president by any means necessary, they have gone way too far and don't seem to care about the consequences.
The problem is the consequences go far beyond a presidential election. What really outrages me about CBS and the rest of the media elite is how they know the power they have over the news and they are abusing it to the point of complete lunacy. Reporters have but one true obligation, report the news. But these people think they should not only report the news, but they should also influence opinion. This is not only wrong, but very dangerous. When CBS and the mainstream media abuse the freedom they love to hide behind, they weaken the nations confidence in the press. Reporters should be held responsible and be discharged immediately.
I feel the best way to get our point across to those people is to simply stop watching them. I don't get my news from any of these people any more, I go to Fox news, talk radio, the internet and our local paper. They are the only sources I trust any more. CBS and their cohorts in the media must be held accountable for their bias and disingenuous reporting.

|In response to Re: shut off valves
: I'm working on replacing shut off valves (aka angle stops) on my pedastal sink in the bathroom. A couple of sources (one a book and one a magazine article) say the way to do that is with compression nuts. Is that better than sweating the angle stop on? Will compression hold up over time? TIA.
If the compression fitting is installed correctly, it will last forever. Since stops need to be replaced, I think it is folly to solder them.

Dual Hitachi 26/30 vs Weber 32/36 on an EA71
Posted 26 August 2011 - 06:57 AM
Posted 29 August 2011 - 07:18 PM
Posted 31 August 2011 - 03:14 PM
single weber will be easier to set up and probably a little more economical but the twincarbs will look cooler.
Posted 31 August 2011 - 05:57 PM
Heaps of porting and polishing to heads and manifolds.
Lightend flywheel.
Fully ballanced
Cam grind
Pretty much the works.
I have a dual carb manifold and also a single carb manifold that takes the larger EA81 hitachi.
Flow should not be a problem for either setup.
Like every greedy person I want good top and low end power.
So far as I have read, it would seem that the single weber would give me better low end and the duals would give better top end.
I would like to test this theory with some of you guys who have one or the other.
I would try both myself but I only really have the cash and time to complete one of these setups.
Posted 01 September 2011 - 04:21 PM
Real nice low and midrange, no top end but that's most probably due to the manifold and heads.
I think the weber's good for 120hp or so, but the manifold is narrow and has 2 sharp 90 degree bends which is not good.
Posted 02 September 2011 - 12:20 AM
Posted 02 September 2011 - 12:47 AM
the 26/30 for the hitachi refers to the throttle plate size,thus two 26/30's are accually 52/60 total carb bore. compare this to the webber 32/36 and then do the math. hope this helps
Not really. spell it out for me.
Posted 02 September 2011 - 12:52 AM
I've just got a standard ea81 with 32/36 weber atm.
Real nice low and midrange, no top end but that's most probably due to the manifold and heads.
I think the weber's good for 120hp or so, but the manifold is narrow and has 2 sharp 90 degree bends which is not good.
Cool. Thanks.
The other apsect is that the long manifold promotes good torque. The dual carbs technically shorten the manifold lengths so I could be sacrificing the low end torque for breathier top end power.
I wonder if the boxer design will get the most out of the dual carbs or if the weber is better suited.
I am crrently running the EA81 28/32 carb of a stock Ea71. It feels well matched at the moment. Certainly no benefit to a larger carb without the further mods.
Posted 02 September 2011 - 01:10 AM
Not really. spell it out for me.
Sorry man. Was having a little moment when I wrote that.
I get wnat you are saying but unless I get my heads flow tested I won't know if I can make the most of the duals. Hence the dilema.
Posted 02 September 2011 - 01:15 AM
two 26/30's are accually 52/60 total carb bore
Not true, as increases are exponential
area = pi x r squared
so for the hitachis (26/30)
3.14 x 13 x 13 = 530 square millimetres for the primary choke
3.14 x 15 x 15 = 706 for the secondary
= 1236 per carb / 2472 for both.
a 52/60 carb would be
3.14 x 26 x 26 = 2123
3.14 x 30 x 30 = 2826
which would make total area 4949 square millimetres
32/36 is 804 + 1017 = 1821
Posted 04 September 2011 - 01:46 PM
1. On a non turbo intake fuel/air system, the cylinder volume creates the vacuum in the intake thus sucking the fuel/air mix at the carb(s).The smaller the carb., the less availible mix=longer time to fill the cylinder=less acceration(i.e.resrictor plates in NASCAR).The larger the carb.( or # of carbs.) more volume of fuel/air=quicker acceleration(i.e.drag racing,six-pack hemi's,etc..)
2.Torqe is made by the the ratio -fuel/air to comrpession.The more fuel/air mix available, and the higher the mix is compressed,the bigger the bang thus more torque.
Now with that being said;the dual hitachi would be the choice,,,,BUT
,,,,hitachi's are hiachi's and chasing problems one is often a headache and two=weeks of nightmares.Having run duals on stock EA-71s for over 100,000

2nd Tuesday after Pascha
The Gospel according to John 3:16-21
The Lord said to his disciples: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that these deeds have been wrought in God."

UNEP Announces Young Winners of Global Art and Environment Competition18/
Nairobi, 18 July 2012 - A painting of a penguin combined with scenes of the deep ocean, forests and wind turbines by 13-year-old Diana Fan from the USA has been awarded first place in the 21st International Children's Painting Competition on the Environment, run by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The painting beat competition from over 630,000 entries to claim the top prize of US$2,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to attend the next Tunza International Children's Conference on the Environment. Second prize was awarded to 14-year-old Ka Mun Leong of Malaysia for her colourful painting of a clock divided in two - half of which shows pollution, fires and smoke-billowing factories, with the rest of clock face depicting a clean river surrounded by trees and animals. Ka Mun will receive US$1,000 and a trip to the Tunza Conference, along with six regional winners. They are: Carolina Ferreira, Cape Verde (Africa); Atthapon Wirojrat ,Thailand (Asia Pacific); Durnea Iurie, Moldova (Europe); Waldir Tokuda, Brazil (Latin America and the Caribbean), Mitchelle Lai, Canada (North America); Postwalla Dariyash, Bahrain (West Asia).Joint 3rd, 4th and 5th prize winners will receive certificates. Children from across the world were invited to submit artworks on the topic of 'Green Communities'. From lions and humans playing a snooker match on a map of the Earth, to a team of animal doctors and nurses operating on a sick planet, young artists from across the world tackled the theme with imagination and flair. "Participants in the International Children's Painting Competition continue to inspire the judges with their creativity and enthusiasm for the environment", said UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner. "On behalf of UNEP, I congratulate Diana Fan and the other prizewinners on their achievements. Their colourful artwork sends a clear message that we are all part of the global green community, and that by leading more sustainable lives, we can ensure that the rich, diverse environments depicted in these paintings can be supported for generations to come." The International Children's Painting Competition is UNEP's flagship art and environment event. Since 1991, it has received more than 3 million entries from children in over 190 countries. The competition is organized in partnership with the Japan-based Foundation for Global Peace and Environment (FGPE), Bayer and the Nikon Corporation. "It's impressive to see the children's level of awareness of environmental issues and how they use their imagination to express this in pictures," said Dr. Michael Preuss, head of Corporate Policy and Media Relations at Bayer. "The winning picture expresses the hopes and fears of the younger generation and is an appeal to everyone to actively support the conservation of nature." Ms. Tomoko Yano, Secretary General of Foundation for Global Peace and Environment (FGPE) said, "We were afraid that the theme of "Green Communities" might be a little difficult for children to understand. However, we were happy to find that most of them tried to understand this important issue and described it with imagination and great ideas." "We hope the children's artworks will keep encouraging people around the world to take actions together for present and future generations," added Ms. Yano. "It has been seven years since Nikon participated in this Painting Competition, and we are very proud to be one of supporting members in the 21st anniversary of the contest", said Takaharu Honda, Executive Officer of the Nikon Corporation. "The children's paintings are fascinating with their hopes for our planet. To build a society that is kind to the global environment, all of us in the world, including individuals and businesses, need to act with consciousness to preserve our precious earth. Nikon has been engaging in a variety of activities including the Mt. Fuji reforestation program, a water source forest protection project, and the development of environmental education tool for educational institutions," added Mr. Honda. With the winners of the 21st competition now announced, the search for next year's top paintings has already begun. Today UNEP officially launched the 22nd International Children's Painting Competition under the theme: Water: Where Does it Come From? The theme supports the 2013 UN International Year of Water Co-operation. Young people between 6 and 14 years are eligible to enter the competition. Full details are available at: www.unep.org/tunza/children Notes to Editors: The full list of winners is as follows: Global 1st Prize: Diana Fan (USA)Global 2nd Prize: Ka Mun Leong (Malaysia) Regional Winners: Africa: Carolina Ferreira (Cape Verde) Asia Pacific: Atthapon Wirojrat (Thailand) Europe: Durnea Iurie (Moldova) Latin America and the Caribbean: Waldir Tokuda (Brazil) North America: Mitchelle Lai (Canada) West Asia: Postwalla Dariyash (Bahrain) Joint Global 3rd Prize Winners:Zi Ming Chan (Malaysia) Hock Kah Chang (Malaysia) Wigavee Rattamanee (Thailand) Zainab Abdallah (Bahrain) Giovanna Oda (Brazil) Joint Global 4th Prize Winners:Michelle Vun (Malaysia) Christabelle Tan (Malaysia) Chuan Joon Lau (Malaysia) Kritika Prakash (India) Joanna Liu (USA) Anitha K (India) Saana Vehkavaara (Finland) Kalkan Dora (Hungary) Christina Du (USA) Wigavee Rattamanee (Thailand) A gallery of the winning paintings is available at: http://unep.org/tunza/children/21stcompetition.aspx For more information, please contact:Bryan Coll, UNEP Newsdesk (Nairobi) on Tel. +254 20 7623088 / +254 731 666214 or E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Asheville got a jump on Fat Tuesday yesterday with a fabulous Mardis Gras Parade featuring wild glittery, feathery costumes, funky floats and a real Royal Wedding! King Hobbit and Queen Tamra, the king and queen of the procession actually did get married at a ceremony at Pack's Tavern right before the parade and rode in full glory atop a wedding cake float through the streets of Asheville. A chilly drizzle didn't put a damper on the party. Spirits were high and the colorful crazy costumes really highlighted how creative folks in Asheville are.
Many revelers formed "krewes" ahead of time along themes that inspired their costumes and several "krewes" participated, with everything from the Gypsy Bar Krewe and the Oo La La's Bawdy Bridesmaids to the Wicked Geishas. The word krewe (pronounced "crew") dates to the early 19th century according to the organizers' website and has become the most common term for a New Orleans Carnival organization.
The Asheville Mardis Grasis an annual event hosted by an all volunteer "social aid and pleasure club". Their aim is to be the southeast's premier costuming event and they are well on their way. Several thousand spectators lined the parade route and the exuberance was contagious! The music and dancing wound from Wall Street to Battery Park, up Haywood and down Page Ave back to Battery Park and afterwards ended at the Pack Tavern for the Mardis Gras Ball featuring music by Snake Oil Medicine Show.
Asheville definitely knows how to have good clean, irreverent fun! Join us next year for Mardis Gras in the Mountains!

Comfy casual
"These sandals have very nicely detailed leather. Although I do wear a size 11, they still were a bit long, but I kept them because the width was perfect and the insoles were so cushiony. These shoes were very nice looking as well as practical and comfortable with my problem feet in my heels and bunions. Size was long, but width was just right."

Be certain the tank is filled before turning the gas back on. To do that, open a hot water tap as far from the tank as possible before you turn the water back on. This gives air a way to escape and when water flows freely, the tank is full.

Please click below for information regarding the Great American Smokeout
The Great American Smokeout
The American Cancer Society is marking the 37th Great American Smokeout on November 15 by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By quitting — even for one day — smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life – one that can lead to reducing cancer risk.
Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US, yet about 43.8 million Americans still smoke cigarettes — Nearly 1 in every 5 adults. As of 2010, there were also 13.2 million cigar smokers in the US, and 2.2 million who smoke tobacco in pipes — other dangerous and addictive forms of tobacco.

My 2YO is a normally pleasant little guy, but recently he has starting hitting and kicking me. I have noticed that this happens mainly when he is trying to get my attention, or when he is tired and I am laying with him to get him to sleep. When he is doing it for attention, I acknowledge that and let him know that I understand he wants me, and that I will be with him when I am done washing the dishes, my hands, peeing etc. However, at sleeptime today, he kept smacking me even after I had said that hitting is not nice, it hurts mummy and hurts her feelings, and that it was not okay even if he was very tired. He kept doing it, and I left the room saying that I would be back when he was done hitting. He immediately started crying, saying he was done, but as soon as I returned to his bed, he smacked me again. If I tried to ignore it, he smacked me harder. Anytime I asked him to keep his hands to himself and tried to lay him down, he laughed at me and smacked me again. After about 10 mins of this, I called my DH in to try to get him to nap, and I left the room, letting him know that I needed a break because the hitting had hurt my feelings. He continued to sob with my DH there, crying that he wanted me to come back in. He did this for about 15 mins, and then finally fell asleep. I feel awful about it, but I don't know how else to deal with this. I don't agree with time outs, and feel that this was kind of like one, but I can't allow him to hit me and think that it is okay. I guess I am wondering how to handle this without resorting to leaving him crying for me, even if his daddy is there with him. Any advice would be appreciated.

LMFAO Daz, revenge for the OP thread I see,
A bridge towards peace; the will of fire still endures!
Rokudaime Hokage, Rokudaime Rikudou Sennin Uzumaki Naruto
Ha-ha! Two year time-skip! Good one, Kishi!
Magnet Element. Wonder what that is? I'd guess Earth + Lightning.
So we have:
3rd Kazekage: Iron Sand
4th Kazekage: Gold Sand
5th Kazekage: Beach Sand
Oh yeah: Gotta love that new generation...

Damn that seemed like a short chapter. I'm liking the Garra/Oonoki combo. It seems like they should either be from the same village or distantly related seeing how Dust is similar to sand. Well maybe I'm wrong about the similarity, isnt dust really just dead skin and sand is..... well its sand. Anyway, it seemed like the Edo-Kage's had no problems what-so-ever fending off the first couple of attacks. Mu is awesome. It was also cool to find out that Garra's dad had a Gold-Sand technique. So far we've had Gold, Iron, and Shukaku Sand techniques. Also, is it me, or does it seem like the Cloud is the most badass village around? Sure Konoha has the Hyuga, Uchiha, a few Uzamakis. But the cloud has had 2 jinchuriki, the best Kage, the Kin/Gin Bro's, Magnet dust, and a bunch of others that I know Im missing.
The 2-year time skip comment was pretty funny.
Anyway...The only thing that makes sense is if the magnetic element is the mixing of earth and lightning chakra. That is the only thing that i can think of that would make sense for that kekkai genkai.
Yet again two different villages share a kekkai genkai with the magnetic one. Mist and Earth also share the lava kekkai genkai. I guess most of the countries were trying their best to steal kekkai genkai at one point. Interesting fact.
I am curious: why did Gaara's dad's eyes change? All he did was activate his kekkai genkai, so why did his eyes gain black pigment? Is it some kind of transformation akin to Sage mode?
Good chapter though a whole army division v 4 people might become sorta one-sided even if those 4 people were once kage.
Also curious why Kabuto seemed so surprised. Does Naruto's new form somehow automatically destroy the Edos or did he just find out about Madara's new Pain abilities? Any chapter which raises a lot of questions.
one question though...If Garra's dad could create Gold why was Suna so poor?
Epic chapter. I wonder what that Mizukage have up his sleeve. We've seen Gold Dust, Third Raikage's father probably have something up his sleeve which is the black lightning, and Muu has Dust release. So what leaves for the Mizuakage?
Kabuto is surprised at the fact that one of his Edo-Zombies got eliminated by Naruto.
Gaara & his father made this chapter bearable, but not by much.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."

What ever happened to Norwegian Cruise Line's Starward? The company's second ship -- an icon of the early years of modern cruising -- is still at sea sailing in the Aegean as Louis Hellenic Cruises' Orient Queen.
As can be seen in our latest cruise ship photo tour, in the carousel above, the well-maintained, 45-year-old vessel remains a lovely throwback to a time when even the largest cruise ships were relatively modest in size. It holds just 876 passengers at double occupancy.
Designed as a research tool for vacationers considering a voyage, the Orient Queen photo tour is the 94th in our ongoing series of cruise ship galleries.

This New Zealand artist casts her glass vessel forms by the 'lost wax' technique, a process commonly associated with the casting of bronze sculpture. Anne Robinson's variation on the 'lost wax' method involves filling a mould with fragmented glass which is is heated in a kiln.
Powerfully sculptural in character, Robinson's works represent stylised plant forms. Her main source of inspiration is the flora and fauna of her local region.
The distinctive waxen surface of Robinson's vessels recalls the smaller pâte-de-verre (glass paste) vessels and objects made in France in the early 20th century. The Puka vase is notable in the artist's recent output for the subtle fading of one colour into the next.

Spring Creeks
A spring creek originates from an underground source—a spring. Because of their gentle gradients, spring creeks are generally flat and smooth; they are found in valley floors rather than in steep canyons.
A spring creek's underground water source produces a constant flow volume, and seasonal variances are slight. Usually spring creeks are not subject to the high runoffs which erode out the streambed channel. Instead, spring creeks have stable flows and streambed channels.
Rooted aquatic plants favor spring creeks because they are free to grow, sheltered from the scouring of high water flows. This allows plants to grow extensive rooted weed beds which provide prime habitat for both aquatic insects and fish. The enhanced surface areas of the leaves and stems support an abundance of hiding places for insects to live and feed. Fish devour these insects.
Spring creeks are generally slightly alkaline in nature. This basic pH range favors plant, insect, and fish growth. A spring creek's underground water source filters through carbonates and alkaline elements enriching its water quality.
Spring creeks have stable temperatures. The ground flows arise at a constant year-round temperature which is generally between 50-55°F. The spring's temperature is not influenced by its downstream
climatic conditions. This is a year-round advantage because the energy required to alter the core temperature of a large volume of water is great. For instance, in the wintertime a spring creek enjoys warmer temperatures than its surroundings and in the summertime a spring creek savors cooler temperatures. Hence a spring creek's extended growing season favors fish because they are insulated from severe temperature variances. Much of the year a spring creek's temperature is near the preferred range for fish growth.
At times of extreme hot or cold weather, fish seek refuge in the proximity of a spring creek's source. Here the fish are sheltered from winterkill or summer heat die-offs.
In short, a spring creek's favorable conditions of constant flows, optimal alkalinity, abundant vegetation, and stable temperatures all contribute to enhanced fish production. The only disadvantage I've found is that spring creeks are somewhat scarce and the good ones have already been discovered. Their reputations make them popular angler destinations resulting in crowded fishing. Just visit Idaho's Harriman Park during its green drake hatch and you will be amazed at its popularity. Some spring creeks require reservations.
