I hope all is well with you!
Well, the London Olympics are looming large now, so expect that to feature a fair bit in upcoming writing!
My ticket arrived for the beach volleyball. Of course it isn't on a beach, it's on Horse Guards Parade. I guess that's a sort of nod to our beaches, as there may well be horse poo underneath the sand.
The event goes on even in the rain, and I did post on Facebook that I was looking forward to seeing an Argentinian woman, getting up and trying to flick wet sand and horse poo off her scantily clad body, and I would should 'YEAH, THAT'S FOR THE FALKLANDS!'
Before being dragged away and beaten to a pulp by the army forces drafted in as security.
Oh yes, the security drama – Last week the government had to announce they were drafting over 3000 troops to serve as security, as the private security firm could not meet the deadlines.
Even at the beginning of the week the ministers were saying every aspect had been monitored and things were fine, and yet by Wednesday it was clearly not fine. I suspect heads will roll, since London is top of the terrorists target lists.
I saw plenty of documentaries about the Olympics, past and present, all fuelling my passion for the history and goal achievement aspects of the thing.
That was brought close to home today as the torch came past the end of my road.
There were loads of people there! Not sure how many are really that interested in the Olympics, but if the organisers wanted to galvanise some sort of attention, the relay certainly does that! A real atmosphere of being friendly and excited, and then flash, the torch was by and gone, onto the next road, and the next.
I was amazed how many kids I had to push out of the way to get my picture. I did hear one shout 'Mummy Mummy, that man just pushed me over!'
To which I replied 'No I didn't, she fell, and anyway what a stupid place to put a wheelchair'
As for my $101,000 challenge, well it's been another busy week! I've updated the blog opt ins, to put everyone on my Great Gordino list. Lots of internet marketing theory says I shouldn't do that, that I should keep it separate, but I like to keep the personal connection, so I'm going with keeping it all in one for now.
I've seen some sales of my audio training 'How To Make $30 Per Blog Post' plus my kindle romance/erotica book 'Lighting The Flame'
This weekend I'm aiming to revamp my 'Make Money From Sport' guide, and also create another training 'How To Make Money Clowning Around On Facebook'. I'm not sure whether to make that an audio or an ebook yet.
Ok, onwards and upwards – do feel free to give me your feedback, like, share, tweet etc, and I'll sing off by wishing you, as ever.
Health & Happiness!
P.S. Don't forget my motivational book 'Transform Your Life in 21 Days!' now at the new cheaper Kindle price!

For years, companies have been getting away with releasing bug ridden software without repercussions.
They use the patch system to clean up any mess that was not handled before the product was shipped.
This may be ok for when we talking about a product not working right, but if a product leads you to be unsecured, that is a different matter altogether.
A person's security should not be at risk just because they used your software.
Sure, software insecurities happen, that is just part of computer life, but if your software has a chronic habit of having major security holes, then that is a real problem.
This sentiment is starting to grow and Microsoft and Adobe are starting to feel the brunt of these complaints.
Germany and France have released official statements about the issue – they are reported to have told their citizens, not to use Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer Issues
Microsoft's problem with Internet Explorer started around 2001 which is when they decided not to update IE anymore.
They thought that all of the features that a browser would ever need was already included.
This was of course not true but they were, in my opinion, relying on their market share to help them make the point.
The real point of the proclamation was to get people who created web pages, to follow IE's lead and make them IE compatible first.
Of course, as we all know, this plan backfired and Firefox was able to take a significant share of the browser market.
When Microsoft decided not to update the browser anymore, they also fell behind in patching security vulnerabilities that were in the software.
Since IE 6 was tied so tightly into the operating system, a security vulnerability in the browser could make the whole system unstable.
People have grown tired of the security issues that comes along with certain Microsoft products.
Yes, they are fixing most of them, especially the operating system, but because of some of their policies from the past, holes keep popping up.
Now, they have a new hole in the supposedly, extra secured, IE 8.
The hole allows attacker to have a remote code inject and execute on someone's computer.
The attack is carried out by a web page that anyone can visit.
This hole was the final straw and some countries thought government intervention was in order.
Germany, and then France, issued a warning to all users of Windows operating system computers.
They told them that they should install and download Firefox.
According the government, it was the much more secured option.
Companies are going to have to take security more seriously.
It is becoming more of a problem, not less.
Some of Windows issues, such as legacy application usage, need to be addressed by the time of the next release.
If they are not, then countries will soon be doing more than sponsoring an alternative browser – an alternative OS may be next.

Last night because of the debates 'Dancing With The Stars' had to cram all their dancers in to a one hour versus the two hour show they usually do on Mondays.
So they came up with couples dancing against each other and who ever got the highest score would get immunity from elimination tonight. In the event of a tie head judge Len Goodman would pick the winner of each face off.
Also last night Erin Andrews was missing because she had to attend the funeral of her boyfriend's nephew. Tonight Kym Johnson pro dancer will fill in for her. And the other noticeable change last night, the judges were muzzled due to the time restraint and were not allowed to give opinions just scores.
First face off Baby Face Edmonds vs Country Crooner Jana Kramer, both doing a jive with Jana winning that face off. Next up was Rick Perry and Vanilla Ice they competed against each other with a Paso Doble.
Tied score so Len did the picking and Iced out Perry, so Vanilla Ice gets immunity tonight.
Then it was a face- off between Ryan Lochte and Indy Race car driver James Hinchcliffe in a Cha Cha completion. James drove over Lochte and won that dance as did former footballer Calvin Johnson, he faced off with The Little Woman star Terra Jole with a Viennese Waltz. He will have immunity tonight.
Maureen McCormick Salsa'd against Amber Rose and kicked her butt winning immunity.
Lastly it was Marilu Henner and Gymnast Laurie Hernandez dueled in the Tango, sadly Marilu hailed a taxi out of there after Laurie won that face off with the highest scores of the night.
Tonight more dancing and another couple goes home.

Just discovered a cemetery in Maryland that is now under the Chesapeake Bay. I can't find any record or information to indicate if the cemetery was moved or not. Also, I can't determine if the coordinate information is accurate. How should I handle this? Should I mark it in place just off the shore in Chesapeake Bay?

It sounds like it is a historical cemetery. If so, we don't collect historical cemeteries. What is the name of the cemetery? Thanks.

I am really now starting to have second thoughts about this after reading your views, and I am now considering self study. I was interested to know what the average study duration it was to pass the A+ essentials exams, if I was to study for 2 hours a day for instance. Also, where do you go to take the exams and roughly how much do they cost. I am considering buying Michael Meyers latest addition as that seems to be the one recommended. I have also looked at the 12 cds which look like they may be very good - just the price putting me off there I guess! Finally, when it comes to taking a mock exam, would any of you recommend any in particular? I was thinking Transcender. Thanks in advance for your help - I have noticed that you all seem to be really helpful on here and I look forward to chatting with you all in the coming weeks/months! Cheers, Paul.

Embracing the art of slow living during the nitty gritty of everyday life is not something I excel at. I've never been known to be patient and too often suffer from a bad habit of attempting to cram in three days worth of to do lists into one day – only to be overwhelmed by it…
What a fab weekend! You capture those little moments so well.

5 Tips To Deal With Ovarian Cysts
Are ovarian cysts dangerous? Are they going to be cancerous? What are the possible health hazards caused by this condition? Is there any ovarian cysts treatment on the market? The moment you are diagnosed with ovarian cyst each one of these questions ring in your head. Do not panic, ovarian cysts aren't dangerous and carcinogenic in normal cases. Still ovarian cysts can cause a lot of pain and therefore it is extremely recommended to move them as fast as possible.
Here are few tips to get rid of ovarian cysts:
Your diet
Diet plays a crucial role in the overall enhancement of our general health. Restrictions in your regimen can always assist you in reducing the growth of the cyst. There are two factors that speed up the development of cysts, namely, increased intake of carbohydrates and estrogen rich foods. But which are estrogen laden foods? The correct answer is tomatoes, red meat and dairy products. Get rid of them from your diet and put a stop to the development of ovarian cysts.
Using heat as treatment
Another tip is using heat as a treatment method. Yup, it will considerably relieve your pain! Just get yourself a heating pad, set it to middle and apply to your lower back. Then settle-back, relax with some comforting, relaxing music. Tepid to warm water bottles or a nice warm bath work too.
Increase your water intake
This might sound contradictory, but by drinking a lot of water, the pressure on the lower stomach, which in turn will decrease the ovarian pain. This natural treatment for ovarian cysts is something else that your doctor will most likely not suggest. By drinking plenty of water, not merely will the pressure from your lower abdomen be reduced, so will the stress on your ovaries. Yes, you will be running to the bathroom more frequently, but once the stored water from your body is expelled, the new, fresh water is going to take its place and your trips to the bathroom will become normal again.
Keep on the right weight and lose weight if needed
In case you are overweight, then shedding pounds will help immensely. Not only that, but your health generally will improve so it's definitely worth the effort.
Birth control pills
Prolong your menstrual cycles by using pills as it reduces the tendency for the formation of new cysts. Ensure that you take them only after prescribed by a registered practitioner.
Dealing with Cyst Pain and finding a remedy for Ovarian Cyst is an issue most women have to cope with. There is a lot of helpful information to help you cope with your pain and these tips can absolutely help you. However, if you are looking for a proven system to cure your ovarian cyst naturally and in less than 3 months then you may want to take a look at my review on the Natural Ovarian Cyst Relief Secrets system and to learn about one of the most popular cures for ovarian cyst online these days.
Take care and all the best!

'Boy Bishop' Tradition Brought to Geneva
The medieval tradition of a Boy Bishop was begun at St. Peter Church in Geneva on the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter this year. Its purposes include reminding people that the Church is apostolic, encouraging them to pray for the diocesan bishop, and to show that bishops and priests come from parish families. As seen here, kids from the parish were inspired by a "bishop" just their size!

Watermelon Park Rock Fest
Welcome to the website for the Watermelon Park Rock Fest, sponsored by the School of Rock of Greater Washington DC. Watermelon Park Rock Fest is a family-friendly rock music festival featuring the music of the finest teen and pre-teen musicians. These musicians are students from three School of Rock locations (Ashburn, VA, Silver Spring, MD and Vienna, VA).
Activities include rock music on the main stage, camping, cookouts, river-tubing, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, bonfire and much more. Great music, beautiful river, fresh air, nice people and the smell of your favorite foods on the grill – that's what the Watermelon Park Rock Fest is about.
Here's what some of the attendees at Watermelon Park Rock Fest 2010 had to say:
"This event was AWESOME! In fact it was sooo awesome that we are hoping to do this again. Again this summer, or again next year as a yearly event. You guys did a great job orchestrating the whole thing."
We had a BLAST at Watermelon Park! Great Music, Great People and what a great place to spend some time in nature! Thanks to all who came! Let's do it again next year!!
We had SO MUCH FUN! Thanks to everyone who was part of the planning and part of the partying! Our DC area SOR kids and families are the best… it was so nice to connect with folks from the other schools. ROCK ON!!!!! And we WILL BE THERE next year!
You guys know how to rock a camping trip! Thanks for letting us camp with you Saturday night.
So, so much fun! I can't wait till next year!
Watermelon Park is a well-maintained campground nestled up along the Shenandoah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains just east of Berryville, Virginia in Clarke County. The tranquility of the calm river along with the backdrop of the Appalachian wilderness is something to see! Watermelon Park gets it's name from the fact that in the 1940's the compound was a thriving Watermelon field.
The music tradition runs deep at Watermelon Park. The park began hosting single day music events around 1943. As just about any current Bluegrass or Country artists could tell you, the park was the site of the first multi-day bluegrass festival in history, happening first sometime in the early 1960?s. Since then Watermelon Park has been host to a staggering lineup of now legendary performers including The Carter Family, Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Flat & Scruggs, Patsy Cline, and The Stanley Brothers, to name but a few. Today, the annual Watermelon Park Fest continues the tradition of bluegrass music at Watermelon Park (see sample YouTube video below).
The park features tent camping next to the river, RV camping with water and electric hook-up, a large bath/shower house for both men and women, a fully supplied Camp Store for all those things you may have forgotten to bring and plenty of "must have" items like ice cream, hot coffee, various snacks, camp gear etc…
Watermelon Park Campground also offers everyone's favorite seasonal pastime…Tubing down the river! You can also rent a canoe or kayak with specified trips for your day! Watermelon Park takes pride in the on-going tradition of low rates and a "laid back" friendly staff that is always willing to help out with any of your needs. Please come visit us soon!! Once you have…… you will be back…. again and again!
You can't beat a family camping event on the Shenandoah River. Whether you're an experienced camper or a complete beginner, you'll find camping at the Rock Fest to be easy and fun. Why? Because this is car-camping. You'll park your vehicle adjacent to your campsite so you can load up with everything you might possibly need and have it within easy reach. No backpacking, no cooking on tiny little stoves! Bring your big rig! It's like tailgating with a tent nearby. Bring a cooler with your favorite beverages (ice is available at the Camp Store). Bring your grill and your favorite foods. If you forget something there's a good chance the Camp Store will have it.
RV camping areas with water and electric hookups are available for an additional fee. Contact Watermelon Park for more information or to reserve space for your RV.

What is the Watermelon Park Rock Fest?
The Rock Fest is a family-friendly rock music festival sponsored by the School of Rock (SOR) – Greater Washington DC. The performers are students from our three local SOR locations in Ashburn, Silver Spring and Vienna. We describe the event as "family-friendly" because there will be many activities for all members of the family to enjoy in addition to the music being played throughout the fest.
What type of music will be performed?
All genres of rock & roll will be included. Our students will draw from three primary sources:
- Our Spring Season of Shows – from just completed (at fest time) shows including The Beatles, Van Halen, 70s FM Radio Classic Hits, Pop Punk, Metal, U2, The Who and The Doors
- Our Summer Season of Shows – to be announced
- Special Projects & Interests – our students will perform other material of special interest to them.
What else will be happening during the festival?
A big part of the event is camping and the enjoyment of the outdoors, especially the beautiful Shenandoah River. Other specific activities include:
- River-Tubing – Imagine being driven up-river and then dropped off with your inner-tube to have an hour of lazy floating down the river, back to the shores of the Rock Fest. Best of all, river-tubing is included for free in your two-day Rock Fest pass (though we are expected to tip the van driver who takes you up river, $2+ per person is the recommended tip). A Liability Waiver needs to be filled out and signed for each participant in river-tubing. You can save some time at the event by downloading it here and bringing it with you.
- Canoeing & Kayaking – A limited supply of canoes and kayaks are available for rent at the Camp Store. A Liability Waiver is also needed.
- Fishing – Enjoy fishing in the Shenandoah. Tackle & bait are available at the Camp Store.
- Swimming & Wading – We're right on the shore of the Shenandoah.
- Children's Playground
- Soccer, Frisbee, Football – there is room to run, kick and throw your favorite sports device so bring it!
- Cookouts – Bring your favorite food and grill and prove to us that you're the best outdoor chef.
- Bonfire – We'll have a community bonfire Saturday evening once the sun has gone down. Bring your ingredients to toast marshmallows and make s'mores.
- Wine-Tasting – We'll bring the cups, you bring a box or bottle of your favorite budget wine, or some cheese and crackers to share.
- Drum-Circle – Get in touch with your inner-Neanderthal through community drumming. While a real drum (bongo, conga, djembe) is ideal, you can bring any percussion instrument (cowbell, wood block, tambourine, shaker etc.) Many inexpensive percussion devices are available at local music stores such as Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center or Guitar Center. Check out this drum circle video to get an idea of the drum circle experience.
What should we bring?
It will obviously depend on your family needs & wants but here are some suggestions:
- Your E-Tickets – just a reminder to bring them.
- Folding Chair – for everyone in your group.
- Camping Gear – tent, sleeping bags, flashlights
- Cooking & Eating – A small grill of some kind, favorite foods for two lunches, a breakfast and dinner, a cooler for drinks
- Toiletries
- Clothing – Totally casual clothing and bathing suit, flip-flops to walk in river
- Drum or Percussion Instrument – bring something to participate in the drum circle.
- Soccer, Frisbee, Football – there is room to run, kick and throw your favorite sports device so bring it!
- Marshmallows and S'more ingredients
- Acoustic Instrument – To help sing around the campfire
- Wine – Bring a box to share at our wine tasting.
- Media – Camera, video, etc.
- Leash – for your pet, if you are bringing one.
Do I need to bring food? Will there be a concession stand selling food & drinks?
We think most camper families will want to bring their own favorite foods and way to cook them. Yes, there will be a concession stand selling hamburgers, hotdogs, steak sandwiches, soft drinks and the like. The Camp Store also carries snacks and drinks.
What if I can only come for one day?
Great! Please join us for the day. A two-day pass will still be required, and is still a great deal with the included free-tubing.
How will I know when my child is performing?
We will do our best to have a performance plan prior to the event, but these plans are always subject to change, as we need to deal with factors beyond our control. We don't recommend trying to just show up for a small-slice of time when your child is scheduled to play, as you may end up missing the performance.
My child is in a band with other SOR students – can they perform?
Yes, as long as all of the band members are currently enrolled SOR students. Students should discuss the performance with their music director.
My child is in a band with kids who are not SOR students – can they perform?
Sorry, no. All stage time is reserved for our currently enrolled students.
I'm not much of a camper, do I have to stay overnight?
No, but please consider camping overnight as it will increase the fun for everyone. This is the easy kind of camping. You can have your vehicle parked right next to your campsite, so you can bring everything you might possibly need. Even first-time campers will have no difficulty with a successful overnight stay.
Can our friends and neighbors attend, or is this only for SOR families?
Yes, please invite your neighbors and friends, and anyone else who would enjoy this event.
What facilities does the campground have? Showers, toilets?
Watermelon Park has a bath house with sinks, toilets and coin-op showers. Please keep in mind that this is not the Four Seasons. There will also be Porta-Johns in the reserved Rock Fest area.
Who is eligible to perform?
All currently enrolled or recently graduated SOR students are eligible and encouraged to perform in this show.
My kid is dying to play a specific song – can he do it?
We are encouraging the students to prepare their own solo, duet or other group performances in addition to music rehearsed by the music director. This is a great opportunity for our students to perform something that they've always wanted to do, but haven't yet had the opportunity. Please discuss ideas with your music director.
Can we bring our pets?
Yes, however park rules are that they must be kept on a leash.
Can we purchase tickets at our local School of Rock?
No. Tickets must be purchased online through TicketLeap.
Can we purchase free tickets online?
Yes, the free ticket types (SOR students, under 12 years) can be ordered through TicketLeap.
What is a drum circle?
A drum circle, most simply put, is a group of people gathered into a circle for the purpose of making music with percussion instruments. It can be as simple as three friends in a living room, or as involved as a thousand music industry workers jamming outside the Civic Center in Anaheim after the NAMM show closes. Check out this drum circle video to get an idea of the drum circle experience.
Drum Circles nowadays take many forms, and are used for many purposes, but at the most basic level, the idea is to play music on drums & other percussion instruments as a group. beginning in the nineteen sixties, here in the U.S., purely recreational drumming jam sessions became gradually more common in public places in the bigger cities, often very loosely organized, usually without a designated leader, consisting of a group of friends simply improvising together, and letting the music emerge as it will.
A community drum circle is often a fun, multicultural, mixed level, group music making event, with freely improvised rhythms, and the music is created on the spot, in the moment. There is no 'audience'; everyone is welcome to play, dance, or listen as the mood strikes them. Bring a drum if you have one. It's a jam session, an exploration. The language of rhythm transcends normal communication boundaries, so one sometimes finds folks interacting who would normally have trouble doing so.
Are there universal principles that apply to the physical act of drumming?
Yes. Posturally, you should try to keep your head, heart, and hips in a straight vertical line. Keep your shoulders relaxed, and breathe calmly. if you experience pain, STOP doing whatever is causing the pain. It isn't supposed to hurt. When you catch your shoulders tensing up, simply relax them, let them down. Consciously tell your muscles to relax.
The qualities of relaxation and simple awareness [listening to others, paying attention]greatly enhance the experience. Drums respond to changes in where the instrument is struck, rubbed or shaken, how hard, with what shape (which part of your hand or a stick or mallet touches which part of the instrument, in what way). in the case of a shaker, the position of the shaker and the direction speed and size of the movement all produce different results. It is fascinating to manipulate these parameters for musical effect. Keep eye contact with the other players, and use all the audio AND visual information to find a part that fits and supports.
What's a snipe hunt?
The hunt and capture of the elusive snipe is an adventure that no camper should miss. The experienced campers will assist the uninitiated in the proper techniques for snipe hunting.

This is what a Russian News Pravda is reporting.
Our world is on the brink of another world war. It will originate August 22nd in the Middle East. The prediction was presented not by Vagna or Nostradamus but by an American political scientist Bernard Lewis in the acclaimed publication of Wall Street Journal. He is a man with close ties to the Bush administration as well as to the non-conservatives pushing for the radical solution of the 'Iranian Threat.'

Pacific Alaska cod is a whitefish which makes its home in the icy cold waters off the coast of Alaska. They can also be found in the waters surrounding Japan in the North and in the coastal seas of Russia. These fish are very healthful due to their extremely low fat content and high protein content. Moreover, they are low in carbohydrates and contain a minimal amount of calories per serving-around 80 per 100 grams.
Cod can be prepared in a variety of ways. Given its versatility, cod is quite popular. In England, cod is used to prepare that classic dish, Fish n' Chips. Cod fillets are battered in a flour mixture and then deep fried. This may not be the healthiest way to enjoy Pacific Alaska cod, but it sure is tasty. Below you'll find some more cod recipes that are a little more modern.
For this medley of calamari and cod you will need fresh squid rings, smoked cod, cream, water, asparagus, lettuce, tomatoes, grated cheese such as Parmesan, a shallot sliced thinly, lemon, olive oil and salt and pepper.
The first step in preparing this dish is to warm up the milk, shallots and water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and then add the cod. After about five minutes, remove from the stove and stir well while adding the cheese and black pepper. Simmer. Clean and trim the asparagus. Boil water with salt and add the newly cleaned asparagus; boil for a minute or two and drain. Cut the tomatoes and shred the lettuce. Saute the calamari in olive oil and lemon juice. Now ensemble the dish by layering the asparagus atop the lettuce; on top of that place the cod and then the calamari. Add some of the cheese sauce and top off with salt and pepper.
This next Pacific Alaska cod recipes infuses the fish with the spices Provencal style cooking. Gather four cod fillets, an onion chopped, minced garlic, a can of tomatoes, capers, basils, olives, olive oil, lemon juice and oregano. Sautee the onion and garlic with olive oil over medium heat. Add the other ingredients, minus the cod. Simmer. Spoon the sauce over the cod fillets, which should be placed in a baking pan. Bake for ten to fifteen minutes. Serve with some leafy green salad and new potatoes.

For many people, part-time work is a good thing. They donot want to work full-time.
For many people who hold two or three part-time jobs, it is not a good thing.
The recession of 2008 changed the landscape for workers. Observers are asking about why the number of part-time jobs is rising. Will part-time workers become future full-time workers or will future low-wage jobs remain part-time?
The fact is that the number of workers employed part-time has risen dramatically. It is mostly true in the service and hospitality industries. It is less so in manufacturing.
It is also true that part-time employment is different. Work schedules are not predictable. Workers have to be almost "on call." They have to be available when stores are busy, and then they are released when stores are not. Benefits are nowhere as good as for full-time workers.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) says that employers with 50 full-time workers or more will have to offer health coverage. However, only those workers who put in at least 30 hours a week must be covered. For companies, not having to pay for health coverage is one reason to employ part-time workers.
However, nobody knows if this is really happening. Experts say that, in this climate of uncertainty, there are good business reasons not to hire full-time workers.
Advocates for workers point to changes in technology. New software lets managers plan shifts based on business activities.
Many are "involuntary" part-time workers who cannot find full-time work.
Some employers are trying to improve part-time work. For example, Ikea workers are assured a minimum number of hours every week. Ikea is also raising the salaries of all part-time workers by 17 percent in 2015.
The jury is out on the future of part-time workers. Will their numbers be reduced to the numbers before the recession? Most economists think the economy is in the middle of deciding.

Consumer Watchdog Site, RatingPlease.com Upgraded Website to Allow for Images
Feb 22, 2016, 10:20 ET from RatingPlease.com
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RatingPlease.com, a consumer driven review site which enables consumers to review companies in an open format and have their voice heard, has upgraded its website so it now supports reviews that have images.
The redesign will also see site tips and Do Not Buy lists added, and if the reviewer makes contact in advance will even allow for video reviews. The goal for this site is to build a reputation of providing real consumer reviews that don't have the air of payment so often seen in more popular review sites.
Quite often consumers feel powerless to fight back against poor treatment or abuse because their complaints are relegated to sites which may drown out their voice, versus boost their signal. RatingPlease.com was one of the few websites which enabled consumers to voice an opinion, good or bad, in a format which allows for a full story to be told. It also provides a means for businesses to refute or respond to the review. Unlike other review sites, the consumer does not have to sign up for the service and share their information with others. The consumer creates a review using their online review form, and then posts it.
"We understand that customers often face challenges when dealing with large corporations or companies that have no phone support," says Rating Please spokesperson Kathy Owens. "This is why we are continuing to improve upon our functionality and support. We believe that everyone has a right to have their voice heard, and all businesses ought to listen. You might be surprised."

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Students at Medical College Georgia at Augusta University received an envelope that will change the course of their lives. It's Match Day across the country and locally, students took part in learning where they will conduct post graduate training.
Dressed in Disney Pixar costume, no story was a fairy tale. The realities of these future medical professionals were placed right in their hands.
After the ringing of the bell, it was nothing but cheers and excitement.
"Long time. Very long time," exclaimed Anna Sulimirski, a fourth-year medical student.
One-by-one Medical College of Georgia students, dressed in fictional flair, raced to get a very important envelope.
For some, like Anna Sulimirski who will be completing an internal medicine residency, Match Day was perfect.
"I feel great! Baylor! It's what I wanted," said Sulimirski, who will be a Baylor College of Medicine resident.
More than 200 students from the Augusta and Athens campuses received matches for a residency in 38 states.
The wait was all worth it for one ninja turtle lover and sharing it with loved ones made it even sweeter.
"UAB. I feel awesome about it. I feel great," said Ryan Cone, who will become a University of Alabama Medical Center Birmingham resident.
Parents took time to digest the news too. Other students just had to wait their turn. When Ada Agidi's time came, it was like a mouse getting cheese.
"I was hoping for Loyola in Chicago and that's what I got," Ada Agidi, Loyola University Medical Center resident, said.
The Nigeria native will go on to study dermatology.
"The field just interested me when I got to med school. I just saw how diverse the patient presentations were and how there are opportunities for constant learning and many research opportunities available too," she explained.
And don't sleep on the one eyed monster. Cherry Yu will get to go to her top choice for neurology at the University of Colorado Denver.
"Yeah since I was in like fifth grade I wanted to be a doctor," Yu said.
It's been all work and very little play.
"The journey was rocky, but in the end we battled through and we got what we achieved," said Cone.
But that's ok. These dreamers will soon be practicing doctors.
"Orthopedic Surgery. Whoo! Come see me!" Cone said.
We can say Match Day here in the Garden City was a success. Some of the students will stay right here in Georgia. Nearly half of the students matched will join primary care programs such as pediatrics.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – A group of students anxiously awaiting the future will soon learn where they will pick up more medical skills. Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University is one of several schools across the country participating in Match Day. This Friday at 11:30 a.m., the events will begin. That's when fourth-year students will receive envelopes with names of the places they will go for post-graduate training. Match Day will be held in the J. Harold Harrison, M.D. Education Commons, Room GB 1220.
Augusta University released the following information:
Each February, after interviews and visits to residency programs, medical students across the country rank hospitals where they'd like to complete their training, and hospital residency programs rank the students. Rankings are submitted to the National Resident Matching Program in Washington, D.C. Pairings are announced simultaneously at U.S. medical schools during Match Day. Graduates of osteopathic and foreign schools as well as U.S. graduates wanting to change their residency also participate.

Although the two communities are completely separate in Cyprus the CFP brings the teens together and helps them to overcome deep pain and divisions between their communities. The teens travel to the US for a residential program in which they share a room for a month. In the process the teens are transformed from enemies to brothers and sisters.
Club members can assist by (1) donating money to offset airfare expense and (2) helping to recruit host families. We are also in the process of writing a global grant that would involve the creation and maintenance of a peace park in Cyprus.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

How do you guys measure how much topsoil you need? thanks
What is the topsoil going to be for?
Im not sure, but I think it would be diffrent for a yard than it would be for a garden.
I'd think around 6" though, but I'm not sure of the caculations to see how many truckloads you would need per number of square feet.
it would be for a flower bed
1 yard of topsoil will cover 150sq' at 2" or just use the topsoil calculator in the top left of the website....there is a lot of great stone, mulch and soil calculators on the web. do a search, well worth it. good luck
Topsoil can compress over 30%. Sometimes you have to account for that.
Take ur sg ft multiply by the depth you want(.5 would be 6inchs) divid it by 27 and that will give you your cubic yards you would need!

(class, race, sexuality, location, etc)
Solutions must be grounded in an understanding of power dynamics shaping women's experience with HIV/AIDS and possibilities for action and change
Power over vs.
Power to, within and with
Visible power: making & enforcing rules (laws, policies, budgets)
Hidden power: setting the agenda (political forces that use resources to control visible power/ decisionmaking + prevent women's agendas from reaching the table)
Invisible power: shaping meaning, values & "what's normal"; our internalized roles (stigma; shame; sexual taboos that confuse)
Visible power: lobbying, research, policy engagement
theirs – cooptation of our time & agendas, controlling policy spaces to use our "participation" without dealing with our issues
Hidden power: organizing, mobilizing, leadership dev, alliances; communications-media: name and shame using power of numbers
theirs -- undermining our message / delegitimizing leaders & views
Invisible power: questioning, awareness, reflection, confidence, political analysis, hope, love; understanding privilege-difference;
Theirs -- controlling beliefs & information; causing social isolation; fundamentalisms; consumerism; individualism vs. collective; divide & conquer
Visible power:
Condoms, ARVs, male circumcision
Big pharma, conservative religious groups
Even potential allies (INGOs, gay men's groups, etc.)
Reinforces women's shame/ lack of control over sex
& reproductive rights
Microbicides, female condom
Research on new treatments
Mobilize to name & shame: e.g.TAC; visibility
Persuade-link with funders & strong gay men's groups
Raising our awareness of our bodies; confronting taboos about sex; educating the public; feeling & exercising our rights
Visible power:
Global Fund, G-8, govts
Healthcare privatization
Home based care (HBC) that exploits women's unpaid labor & roles
pharma, conservative religious groups, international financials (aid & trade)
Big NGOs
Reinforces women's "lack of control over sexuality" & lack of voice; sense of powerlessness
Responses:Funding for women's rights-based programs for ARVs & technol; change macro-econ policy / IFIs to resource public health, livelihoods & land; anti-violence; ensure HBC women are paid/ supported & recognized
Mobilize to demand & influence donors, INGOs
Alliances with land, debt groups; with donors/ LGBT/ sex workers/ unions

Wow. Being a flapper meant a lot of wonderful new freedoms for women of the Jazz Era. They could dress in non-constricting clothes, smoke, vote, bob their hair, drink, dance, you name it. Along with that came a wilder attitude about sex.
These "trick" risque flapper mirrors nicely illustrate the difference in attitude. I can't imagine a Gibson Girl carrying such a naughty accoutrement. I love that they're clearly a "by flappers / for flappers" item. Not something made for a man to show his pals – but an item that a woman would carry. And the first one below… flapper hairdos are not subject matter that would be created for men.
Just flip them over and check out the, er, action! You go grrl!
From eBay auctions.
This one from Hake's Auctions is a rare "photo" version. A littttttle creepy…
And the Busy Beaver Button Company has created a more modern version in gold in case you want to celebrate your freedoms in new-millenium style!

Most sailboats these days have 'power using systems' aboard like, a pressure water pump, a fridge and radar. Then too most of us have an alternator that provides reliable, trouble free service as long as they are maintained and replace when worn out. Sadly this area of maintenance is often ignored by cruisers until there is a failure.
Generally that failure is caused by a worn or broken belt. Once that happens the system it drives comes to a quick stop, many times just when we need it most. You may not even be aware at first that there's a problem until the loss of water to cool the engine causes the temperature gauge to climb into the red zone and your alarm sounds, you do have an alarm, right?
Generally the belts used to power our accessories are of the 'V' type but you may find yours to be a flat ribbon type. It's not uncommon for one belt to do more than one job like sending power to the alternator and a pump. You might find you have only one belt doing the job and your buddy might have two doing the same job, just depends on the engine. However, you have to look each year at those belts for wear and tear. This is a great winter job.
So your first step is to inspect the engines belts. Aside from the obvious cracks that scream 'replace me', you also need to check the belts for tension. So, how tight should the engine's belts be? Well, without a tool to measure with the answer is going to be subjective. However, a good guide is to adjust the belts so they don't slip but not beyond that point. So….tighter isn't better.
If you've a belt that's slipping (humm…what's that whining sound?) it's not going to charge or turn the power accessory like it's supposed to. It's also likely to wear out sooner and/or break long before it should. If it's too tight, it's going to hurry up the wear on seals and bearings.
So, how do you know if the belt is slipping? Look for belt dust on the front of the engine or the alternator casing and fan. This stuff is so fine it often feels like oil. Does it look smooth and shiny? That too can mean it's slipping. If it looks smooth and shiny then you should probably replace it.
When you're going to tension the belt for the alternator, fridge, water pump, etc. then you'll need to use that old high tech stand-by…a hammer's handle. You use it to lever away from the crankshaft pulley and then tighten the holding/fixing bolt that holds it in place. Be sure each belt matches the pulleys it turns. They should be even with or just slightly above (like just a hair above) the top of the pulley sides.
Belts are cheap and easy to do and can make the difference between a fun cruise and a frustrating one. You should think about replacing them every couple of years or 375-400 hours of use…which ever is first. Don't forget, a new belt may need to be adjusted and re-tensioned a few times during first 75-100 hours, so be sure to keep your eagle eye on them.
Keeping our power systems working well on our sailboat isn't hard. It's just one of those gotta do maintenance items. Unless of course you like being towed back to the dock. So check the belts on your sailboat marine engine today!

[…] One of the more common problems is with an improperly adjusted alternator drive belt. If the belt's too loose the alternator won't turn fast enough to reach its maximum charging output. If you want to see about how to adjust your belts, you'll find more information about it here. […]

Find Customers & What Makes Them Tick
|July 13, 2012
|Posted by Louise under Social Media Strategy
One question you may have when you are first starting your online business is, "where do I find customers?"
Experts always say to stand out and get customers, you need to give your market what they want as well as answer their questions.
This is doubly difficult for new entrepreneurs to accomplish, due to not knowing where exactly to find customers in their market in addition to not having a customer base from which to mine marketing information.
So where do you find your market and future customers?
Well, as reported on eMarketer a study of Canadian moms conducted by Google Canada and OTX and published this past June revealed this:
…81% of Canadian moms are searching for information before they head to the store. Search is their No. 1 online source, followed by email, maps, retailer websites and social networking sites.
EMarketer states similar results were found with US moms.
And other statistics collected over the last few years have also measured similar results in various niches. (To see other similar stats, read Market Research World, Microsoft Business, and Search Engine Land articles.)
For the online entrepreneurs, these stats tell you it's highly probable your market is hanging out online searching for solutions and information. You therefore have an opportunity to engage them and build relationships with them where they hangout online.
So, where do they hang-out and how do you start connecting with your market?
Start Networking & Building Traffic Today
1. Find your market's social hangouts. The most likely place to connect with markets online is through social networks. So look for groups related to your market. You can find these in such places as:
- Yahoo Groups,
- niche related forums,
- Twitter,
- Facebook,
- LinkedIn (who also have active groups),
- Pinterest,
- and Google+.
Social networking tools like these have blasted off into cyber-popularity over the past several years and show no sign of slowing down, making them a powerful medium for getting to know your market and building traffic.
2. Get Social. Once you've located some likely hangouts for your market, open a couple or several social networking accounts, making sure to include a link back to your website. Learn how to use each platforms and then start connecting and collecting information. You can achieve this in many ways:
- Read what people are saying and stay abreast of what your market is talking about;
- Read their questions, and then answer the ones that fall in your line of expertise;
- Comment on what they're saying;
- Provide some helpful information;
- And of course, share, like, pin, retweet, and bump what you think is valuable information in your topic of expertise.
If what you're sharing and saying is worthwhile, you'll get noticed. And before you know it, people will start to follow you all the way to your blog or website.
Now, you may be thinking setting-up accounts, reading, commenting and such adds to your busy schedule. And they do. But if you devote some time regularly to doing this, you'll gradually build quality traffic for free and you'll collect some valuable marketing information.
Duct Tape Marketing puts social media work in perfect perspective:
One of the greatest things about the Internet is that you can see all kinds of questions that people are asking about the things that you may be an expert in. Anything from plumbing questions to how to properly do taxes – your expertise is desperately needed. No one has the time to spend all day answering questions for free, but consider what might happen if you just spent 20 minutes a week looking at some of these questions online in forums or on Twitter, or on Facebook. By answering a few, and linking back to your website, you're building goodwill, demonstrating your expertise, and putting your business in the position where as soon as someone needs help in your area … you're their go to resource.
Start finding prospects online and give them what they want such as information, advice, and conversation. Provided you are delivering quality, you'll begin to build a loyal customer base that will not only dispense valuable market information and create traffic to your site, but also spread the word, bringing you additional customers without your lifting a finger. Like magic!
So, do you already use some of these techniques? How helpful are they in bringing you traffic and providing marketing information?
On free way to find out what your market is asking on Twitter.
Love what you do!

It was as if it happened a few weeks ago, rather than a quarter of a century, but such is the way time and memory play tricks on the heart. We were sitting beneath a thorny hawthorne that has since been cut down. It stood outside the window of my childhood bedroom, and at the moment I'm recalling it was shedding its early summer blossoms. Petals of the purest white floated gently down like the first snowflakes of a winter storm.
My Uncle sat beside me, on the brick sidewalk in front of the house. We'd been wiring outside all day, and we paused for a slight break before getting cleaned up for dinner. He brought an ever-present cigarette to his mouth, and my brother and I watched as he flicked a bit of ash onto the mossy bricks, in dangerous proximity to his faded yellow flip-flops. A few needles of the yews he'd been pruning clung stubbornly to his shirt, and beads of perspiration lined his brow from the hot day. We looked to him for wisdom, for the lessons of life. He could teach us things that Mom and Dad could not. He knew the other side of the world.
Strangely, I do not remember the lesson of that particular moment, just the way he sat there, rather quietly contemplating the mid-point of a day. We watched him inhale, and then the cigarette was done. It was always over sooner than any of us wanted it to be.
I was reminded of that day when I saw photos of a recent family gathering – to which I wasn't invited or informed (I'm sure I'm just being paranoid, and that it wasn't intentional to leave me out, but one does wonder. Just kidding – of course my family loves me, they just don't want me around. Kidding again! If we didn't laugh we should cry.) In some ways, I'm the contemplative Uncle these days, minus the cigarettes and ratty flip-flops, but with the same pensive look in my eyes. Always somewhat outside, always somewhat apart, always somewhat alone.Back to Blog

|Summary, etc.:
| A riveting account of a watershed moment in history: when America's struggles with the despotic Chiang Kai-shek and the manipulative, ascendant Mao Zedong altered the course of East-West relations.As 1945 opened, America was on surprisingly congenial terms with Mao and his Communist rebels. But by year's end Communist diplomacy had all but frozen and America was resigned to unqualified support for China's Allied leader, General Chiang Kai-Shek, despite growing certainty that Mao was China's heir apparent-a political allegiance whose consequences would echo down the subsequent decades, most violently in the form of the Korean and Vietnam wars. What happened? Richard Bernstein brilliantly analyzes the many components of that year's sea change, from ideological infighting among U.S. diplomats, military leaders, and opinion makers, to Mao's opportunistic presentations of identity and ambition, to China's status as the crucible of a new world order, in which Soviet...

Students with a degree in psychology can find career opportunities working in schools, corporations, or in the social services sector. Many psychology grads work in the field of mental health, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Psycho-analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. By comparison, Jungian therapy focuses on the collective unconscious, dream archetypes, and symbolic representation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Therapists in turn will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.
In brief therapy as outlined by Milton Erickson, the therapist treats clinical and subjective conditions faster by precise observation, and direct intervention. Rather than a prolonged analysis of historical causes, the primary approach of brief therapy is to help the client become more versatile in the present, prompting successful clients to undergo spontaneous changes. Behavioral Therapy, on the other hand, addresses both normal and abnormal behaviors. Desensitizing is classical conditioning in action, where a therapist might help a client with a phobia through repeated exposure to the causal agent. Operant conditioning is more direct, relying on rewards and punishments to shape behavior.

Huckleberry Finn And The Villa Essay Research
Huckleberry Finn And The Villa Essay, Research Paper
Huckleberry Finn and the Village Mores
Since time immemorial, human beings have bonded together, forming societies and institutions that no one can escape. Religions and governments have developed and changed throughout the centuries. The population of the time invariably conforms to the image of its society, but there is always an outsider, a freethinker. A revolutionary figure consistently rises from the status quo and contests the beliefs and moral codes of the society to which he belongs. Every era has had its Abraham, Socrates, or Thoreau, and post-civil war America boasts Mark Twain, or more appropriately, Huckleberry Finn. Vernon L. Parrington once said of Mark Twain s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, It is a drama of the struggle between the individual and the village mores. The book, although satirical at times, is certainly considered a dramatic epic describing American society and the conflicting views of the time. Huck is an unlettered, street-smart realist. Throughout the book, he is forced to make decisions that conflict with the conventions of his world, such as old-time religion, slavery, and even basic ideals like the treatment of other people.
In order to understand the struggle that commences in the book, one must understand the character of Huck. This young boy of Hannibal, Missouri, is the son of the town drunkard. He nearly raised himself, living off the land and on the streets most of his life, while occasionally receiving a beating from his ignorant, ruthless father. The world forces Huck to look at life from a different perspective than the average boy, such as Tom Sawyer. He has seen the bane of human existence, but still seems to see the good in people, along with the bad. Huck s instincts developed independently, rather than societal institutions such as church, family, or school molding it. Yet he does not remain separate from society; he grows up believing he is somehow inferior to the learned children. He often comments that his friend Tom could carry out his plots better than he could, and frequently takes on a subservient role. Despite all this, Huck is practical, a realist. He looks at a problem and logically finds the most intelligent solution. Henry Nash Smith describes Huck as having a sound heart, but a deformed conscience, meaning that his environment has instilled the traditional values of the era in Huck s mind, but his heart does not follow these often warped beliefs.
Religion is one of the binding forces in human society, from Hindu-based India to the Roman Catholic Vatican, it ties people together, gives them meaning and purpose. In the Deep South during the mid-1800 s, Protestant Christianity ruled supreme. In the book, this institution is constantly affecting Huck. At the story s inception, we find Huck living with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson. They insist on performing rituals that seem inane to Huck, like praying over their food and learning about men who have been dead a considerable long time (8). To Huck s simple mind, stating that he would like to go to hell is a simple declaration of boredom; he wants to be somewhere else. However, to the Widow and Miss Watson, Huck is renouncing the very thing around which they revolve their lives. Huck sees all these rituals as superficial, for his world has no room for things that don t make no sense (8). He also recognizes the futility of reforming people. The new judge in town tries piously to get Pap Finn to mend his ways, and for a few short hours, his ploys work, but Pap inevitably relapsed. Huck can see that it is not religion that makes a person good, but that what one does and how he lives is what really matters.
One of the most prominent binding elements in the book is slavery, whether a slave to another person or a slave to society. This peculiar institution is one that caused much strife between different factions of the United States in the 1800 s, and one about which Twain felt strongly. His commentary on the time was radical, yet filled with truth. The main plot consists of Huck and Jim escaping down the Mississippi River to freedom, Huck from society and Jim from slavery. Twain faces Huck with an ultimate decision: personal freedom or the freedom of another. Everything Huck has ever learned is telling him that if he does not return Jim, a fugitive slave, and yet a person that he has grown to love and admire, to his rightful owner that he will go to hell and be ostracized from his community. Yet, his heart tells him that the enslavement of his friend is wrong. He struggles, trying to appease his guilty conscience by writing a letter to the Widow Douglas explaining where Jim is, but ultimately, his heart is victorious over the world-conformed conscience that plagues him. His victory over society is not complete, however. The lingering effects of the slavery mind-set are apparent when he tells Aunt Sally that no one was hurt in a boat accident, but that it just killed a nigger (175).
Another element of society that Huck is trying to escape is the way humans treat one another. He observes some very cruel actions throughout the novel, not to mention his life. In response to the Shepherdson-Grangerford feud, and more specifically the death of his friend Buck, he says, It made me so sick I most fell out of the tree I wished I hadn t ever come ashore that night, to see such things. I ain t ever going to get shut of them (94). The feud makes perfect sense to young Buck Grangerford, to whom it is a natural part of life to carry guns to church and have dreams of killing men, but Huck s good heart doesn t understand this mentality because it is based in senseless brutality. Likewise, when the Duke and the Dauphin are conning the Wilks girls, Huck feels the inherent fault in what he is helping to accomplish. So he takes steps to solve the problem, and stops the illegal activity. He can not stand to see three innocent girls lives ruined by some selfish old men. Despite his good heart, Huck is not always victorious in his battles against society, as when he breaks laws unnecessarily. For instance, he admits to stealing chickens, citing his father s old excuses as his reasoning. Huck may be good at heart, but he is not infallible.
Huck s struggle encompasses many aspects of the society in which he lives. New situations continually make him question his values and his knowledge. So often, society wins, by rationalization, manipulation, however it wishes. Often, people need only a little shove to conform to the wishes of the general public. Huckleberry Finn is a revolutionary character because he is the embodiment of rebellion against such conformity. His complex character and individuality are tested repeatedly; giving hope to every person whom has ever faced similar trials. The person who wants to learn how to defeat the village mores needs to look at the world through the eyes of Huckleberry Finn, and realize that life is not about the rituals performed or the achievements made, but about people and how one affects the lives of those people.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) November 17, 2015
While loading ammunition into a handgun magazine an inventor from Arlington, Texas, found that his fingers would get sore due to having to load each round against the tension of the magazine spring.
"While loading ammunition into a handgun magazine, I found that my fingers would get sore due to having to load each round against the tension of the magazine spring," he said. "Because God has blessed me to be mechanically-inclined, I was able to incorporate a small part into the magazine itself and overcome the spring tension, ending up with a more ergonomic way of loading magazines and eliminating the need for any other aftermarket loading device."
He then created a prototype of the patent-pending QUICK LOAD SYSTEM, an improved magazine with the main loading function incorporated in itself. It provides a quicker and easier way to load rounds. It eliminates tension and resistance, which prevents strain and sore fingers. Overall, it saves time and effort. Ergonomic and easy to use, the magazine is ideal for gun owners, law-enforcement officers and the military. The client attributes his idea to God gifting him with being mechanically inclined.

This time, they were and have been, completely gone after the set of treatments. It didn't hurt much either. I also took a facial which included a pampering neck massage. Lovely! I wish Emma and Zest all the best in the future! Laura Karves – Google Places – Read more beauty salon reviews

Kisame and Naruto
Raikage and Killer Bee
Knowledge on opponents
Naruto can control up to 8 tails
Full Health
Open area(flat, no civilians, etc.)
Perfect Fight
Kisame and Naruto
Re: Perfect Fight
My vote is Naruto and Kisame. The Kyuubi has unlimited chakra, so that means Kisame has an unlimited chakra supply. Therfore Kisame can absorb chaka until Samehada is full. Plus they are near invincible, Naruto gets hurt the Kyuubi heals him, Kisame gets hurt he uses teh Kyuubi's chakra to heal himself.
Re: Perfect Fight
I predict Naruto switching sides and Killing Kisame
Re: Perfect Fight
lol, naruto and kisame? theres no way naruto will unite with Akatsuki vs. Killer Bee or Raikage....i like Kisame and i belive hes stronger than Killer Bee `BUT he will get pwned
Re: Perfect Fight
Well, being brothers, Raikage and Kirabi probably have some killer teamwork. And Naruto and Kisame would have to learn to work together really quickly. But with Naruto pumping out 8 tails chakra and Kisame absorbing Kirabi's cloak and Raikage's lightning armor, that's gonna be a hella strong combination. As soon as Kisame aborbs a good amount of energy, Naruto can jump in and do some serious damage to the lightning brothers.
Re: Perfect Fight
hmm... kisame would be useful, but after a while he would die of chakra exposure. Raikage would get killed, and kisame would die as well, I believe. Naruto would proably be the last one standing.
Re: Perfect Fight
i prefer naruto & kisame, as kisame is just a prfect guy who can give time for naruto to absorb natural energy ,plus if naruto and kisame will fight in one team their are high chances of naruto letting samehada absorbing kyubbi's chakra so together they are just perfect
