Mitt Romney is doubling down on his commitment to defund Planned Parenthood, telling a reporter in Missouri that he would "get rid of" the country's best-known reproductive health care provider if he were elected president.
In an outdoor interview with Ann Rubin of KSDK.com, Romney offered a few suggestions on how he would cut the deficit.
"Of course you get rid of Obamacare, that's the easy one, but there are others," he said. "Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that."
Planned Parenthood responded to Romney's comments on Tuesday, characterizing them as dangerous and out of step with what Americans want.
"When Mitt Romney says he wants to 'get rid' of Planned Parenthood, he means getting rid of the preventive health care that three million people a year rely on for cancer screenings, birth control, and other preventive care," said Dawn Laguens, Vice President for Planned Parenthood Action Fund, in a written statement. "Mitt Romney simply can't be trusted when it comes to women's health."
Romney campaign strategist Eric Fehrnstrom downplayed the comments on CNN Tuesday night, saying the former governor was talking about cutting federal funding only.
"It would not be getting rid of the organization," Fehrnstrom said. "We're going to have to make some tough decisions about spending. The test that Mitt Romney will apply is, is this program so worthwhile and valuable that we'll borrow money from China to [fund] it?"
Read the rest here.
Okay, someone answer me a question here: during the last election cycle, or even the last two or three, were women even REMOTELY this under fire? Did Planned Parenthood even come up in the Presidential election? Did birth control? I mean what the F*** has gone so very wrong that women's rights have become so blatantly anathema to the republicans with the 2012 election ... or are we yet again dealing with the fact of a black man in the Oval Office?
Let's be real: this had gone too far about 10 squares back. It's time the GOP candidates were called on their misogyny, ALL OF THEM. Women's rights should no more be a part of this election than those for African-Americans, and whether it's Romney, Santorum, Gingrich or Paul making such a statement, they need to be taken to task for it.

At least I can respect republifascists like Romney for openly and honestly standing up for their class interest$.
When in office, the role of the republifascists is to go full-steam ahead with empire-building and with building up the strength of the capitalist class dictatorship at times when they've sufficiently drugged the masses into a state that will not see us organizing resistance in such a manner that could affect their profits. If the capitalist class thinks that Romney can lead people to support defunding PP without causing significant social unrest then they will $elect him, but chances are they're still hooked on the Obomber who has done such a tremendous job for them of crushing resistance all while still going full-steam ahead with empire-building. They $elected him because, after Bush, they thought they were going to have to toss us a few more crumbs, but they found that just the thought of "hope" and "change" was enough to squash enough resistance that they didn't have to toss us any.
If I had to bet now, I'd say that the Obomber yet again will be $elected as head spokesperson for the most vicious and destructive empire the world has ever seen. He has been a very powerful weapon for White male supremacy and U$ imperialism. He has led millions to support U$ imperialism who otherwise wouldn't. I don't think they can do any better. I have no say in the matter, they're going to $elect who they want to $elect, but I'd choose Romney over the Obomber right now because it will provide a better social climate from which effective resistance could possibly form. They know that too, and that's another reason why the Obomber will be re$elected.
The capitalist class are still loving this GOP race. They get to toss out some of their talking points and see how the public reacts to them, and if they believe they can get away with it they'll put Romney or Santorum in there to implement some things in their agenda (defunding PP is just a small drop in the bucket compared to their overall vision of the society they want), all until enough people go fucky and start organizing effective resistance, and then they'll need to vomit up another Obomber to calm the masses for awhile and give the illusion of "democracy" as the Amerikan idiot liberals (spit) continue to latch on to an ever-rightward moving ship.
I stopped reading at "republifascists". Then I saw who wrote it and was glad I chose not to read. I agree that he makes us look bad.
You, too, eh? I thought all the dollar signs were a bit too much kitsch!
Ya know, Sendero, it'd be one thing if you actually addressed the issue of PP and Romney with your not-so-little diatribe, but you didn't. Next time, you might consider sticking a touch closer to the topic at hand rather than going off the rails.
A shame I can't control comments on this discussion, 'cuz YOURS would be out on the lawn with the rest of the garbage.
I know that there are people who have trouble comprehending my posts (even to the point of saying my post here was off-topic and that I'm a "liberal"), oh well. But there are others who are equipped with a scientific mind and who are capable of understanding new things and old things in new ways..these people do not require everything be put into the king's english and have active enough minds to decipher the meaning of new words and concepts.
If you're so comfortable in your life that you're not constantly struggling to change the world, to have a profound shift in what is considered "normal", and to realize humanity's clear potential to produce adequate food, clean water, shelter, and health care for all, then you're part of the problem and my posts will never appeal to you…go back to your privileged existences just knowing that there are people out here who are organizing to actually change the world and we're not waiting on some suit-dummies and their allies to decide it's time to do it.
Bud, that's twice now that you've commented crap here which has NOTHING to do with my original post. Frankly, you sound like you enjoy the sound of your own voice. Groovy - go get yourself a pied a terre on wordpress.com and blog to your heart's content. Dump your BS here again, and I'll petition A/N to have it removed, and if you want to be persistent, you along with it.
But there are others who are equipped with a scientific mind and who are capable of understanding new things and old things in new ways..these people do not require everything be put into the king's english and have active enough minds to decipher the meaning of new words and concepts.
Dude, you're a dogmatic fuck-wit, on par with any fundie theist. If you had coherent concepts, rather than dogma, you'd be able to explain them to others, rather than puking your buzzwords and cute tween-aged twitter-shorthand all over serious discussions. Go away and let the adults talk with each other.
Don't hold back, tell us how really feel. :) Perfectly said.

Mythical VS Fictional People
Posted 21 February 2008 - 07:21 PM
And with respect to the UK, I'd kind of like to see the same type of history quiz given to the young folks here in the US.. I saw something on tv where they went around asking people history questions pertaining to US history and you'd be surprised how bad they did.

gettin' it done everyday

Posted 02 March 2011 - 07:28 AM
being british (English) i wonder which part of the country this survey was carried out.Great Britain or the U.K. is four seperate countries each with it's own identy, history and traditions. We all live under the flag of union but we are all proud to be English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish. Anyway my point is that this survey is very hard on all the non English nations, of the twenty names on the list thirteen/fourteen are English and there is no way on earth a proud Scott (or any of the other three countries) would study English history over his own, and i for one second would not blame him/her. so if this study was done in Scotland you might get very different results as if you did the study in England. There is not much on the list that worries me too much regarding our education system. Richard the lionheart, was french he hated this country, could not speak English and spent most of his time fighting crusades against the moors and we are still having to pick up the pieces from his barbaric ways today. he was a french king of England and as you can guess i am not a fan. Winston Churchill is a slight worry but during the war when he came on in welsh cinema's he was booed, so i have been told by a welsh friend of mine. Florence Nightingale should be better known she was on the back of our ten pound notes for several years, but then who really looks at the pictures on money? as for the rest of the real people the percentages are so small it's just not worth worrying about. As for the fictionals... Well does it really matter that much? and besides most of them are based on actual people in history. oh and the thirteen/fourteen thing... the duke of wellington, sir arthur wellsley. was born in Ireland but considered himself an Englishman.
A very good post.
As mentioned by others these results are also clouded by the so-called fictional people on the list who could have been real or based upon a real individual.
King Arthur could well have existed. If so he was likely to have been a tribal king or chieftan who could unite many of the native tribes to defend their lands against the Saxon invasion. This is all theoretical but possible. Whether he was real or not he seems to be created because the people at the time needed him.
There could even be some truth in Robinhood. If there is any truth behind this character I think he would have been based upon a violent & successful outlaw before any romance was added. Perhaps he was somebody who only robbed the rich but he would probably have been a nasty violent individual. Or he may not have existed at all.
We have such a vast history spanning 4 nations over a very long period. Basic history taught in school only covers a minute fraction of it so it would be unfair to criticise people for not knowing all of this. Yes thinking people like Winston Churchill as fictional is shocking but you need to put this in perspective. I think we are now sadly on the cusp of a generation where the second world war is becoming a "so what". Soon all the veterans will be gone along with the living link. All my grandparents were involved & so it is hard for me to imagine not having that link.
The only way to really educate yourself about many of these things is to read & in an age of technological convenience this is becoming rarer.
Posted 02 March 2011 - 07:46 AM
We are all people who enjoy writing on a forum & discussion. Because we enjoy writing it can be assumed that we are all fairly well read & educated individuals hence some are looking at the list from their own perspective and thinking OMG!!.
Can we say the same about the demographic of a random 3000 individuals? Some of these people are going to be very poorly educated therefore you get a SMALL percentage of silly answers.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Dev Diary Shows the Move to Australia
We get to see how Gearbox Software decided to go to the Land Down Under in order to take us to the moon in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
Gearbox Software and 2K Australia have released a developer diary depicting the behind the scenes shenanigans that helped Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel come to fruition. The origins of the game started at Gearbox Software, where several staff members thought that there were still so many great concepts they could work with and expand from the first two titles in terms of story and lore before going on and working on the third title. It could be that Gearbox is currently working on Borderlands 3, which inspired them to outsource the development of the The Pre-Sequel overseas to 2K Australia. This video explains why 2K Australia was chosen as the studio to make that happen. What's one of the most awesome things about this developer diary? We get to see Anthony Burch of 'Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'?' fame, who is now one of Gearbox's lead writers.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is scheduled for an Oct. 14 release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Threezero is proud to announce that we are in development of 1:6th scale fully articulated figure based on "Berserk", a Japanese award-winning dark fantasy manga, also known for the TV anime and movie series. More info on this soon!
How is the poseability with these figures? Do you get what you see or can you get a bit more dynamic with them? I can't seem to find much about similar figures on youtube.
Good question. From the last two images and a view of the arm (elbow area), it doesn't look like the arm bends. Not sure about the legs or other joints.
Actually, I believe it's using silicon muscle body. It's quite popular in muscular body type these days (Hot toys Hulk, Thor figures used them.One problem is silicon rubber has deterioration issue over time. You need to apply protective oil and don't keep the figure in bent pose too long.

Fee For Services
My representative and I understand that, for a fee to be payable, the Social Security Administration (SSA) must approve any fee my representative charges or collects from me for services my representative provides in proceedings before SSA in connection with my claim(s) for benefits.
We agree that, if SSA favorably decides the claim(s), I will pay my representative a fee equal to the lesser of [Insert a number less than or equal to 25 percent] percent of the past-due benefits resulting from my claim(s) or [Insert a number less than or equal to the applicable specified dollar limit established pursuant to section 206(a)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act (e.g., $6,000)].
Review of the Fee
We understand that one or both of us may request review of the fee amount, in writing, within 15 days after SSA has notified us of any amount my representative can charge.
- My representative may ask SSA to increase the fee, and [Insert he or she ] has informed me that [Insert he or she] will do so if [Insert the conditions under which the representative might seek a fee higher than the fee otherwise agreed upon].
- I may ask SSA to reduce the fee.
- An affected auxiliary Social Security beneficiary, if any, may ask SSA to reduce the fee too.
- Also, if SSA approved the fee agreement, the person(s) who decided my claim(s) may ask for a reduction of the fee under the agreement if, in his or her opinion, my representative did not represent my interests adequately or the fee is clearly excessive for the services provided.
If someone requests review, SSA generally would send the other(s) a copy and offer an opportunity to comment on the request and provide more information to the person reviewing the request. SSA then would finally decide the amount of the fee and notify us in writing whether the fee increased, decreased, or did not change.
We both have received signed copies of this agreement.

I have studied, formally and informally, rock, pop, blues, jazz and classical. My specialties are rock and blues. On occasion, I will use method books, such as the Schirmer books for piano, but only if the student clearly seems to benefiting from them.

I am a laid-back teacher, fun, and I focus on the needs, abilities, and ambitions of the student. In turn, students must realize that learning an instrument takes a lot of work and dedication. One can't expect to learn very much if s/he only practices or thinks about the instrument during the lesson. If the student is willing to put some time into practicing, then I will help them go far!

I started playing acoustic guitar when I was seven years old (off and on). I then started traveling more and found the mandolin to be so much easier to carry around and so much fun, it was hard to stop playing it. I have been playing and teaching mostly bluegrass, old time, Irish, blues, and swing jazz styles for many years. I have taught both privately and have also done various workshops at festivals. I have taught multiple years for instance at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival in PA, The Traditions week at Common Ground on the Hill Festival in MD, etc
My students learn to have fun with music. Students can work on rhythms, melodies, improvisation, song writing, arranging tunes, music theory, getting into and/or hanging on in a jam session, etc.

three years after their critically acclaimed second album, junctions, dead hollywood stars are back with a brand new record - exploring once again a different facet of their twisted american dream. admirers of the previous two albums will be in familiar territory, a feeling reinforced by the omnipresence of the slide guitars, ghostly melodies and the unique combination of acoustic with electronic elements. but smoke and mirrors quietly leaves the 'desert ambient' of gone west (2000) and the more cinematographic realm of junctions (2002), so that it can dig deeper. more song based and acoustic than before, delicately crafted, and yet disturbing, smoke and mirrors opens a new door to the odd universe of dead hollywood stars. a place where dusty slide guitars meet mysterious trumpets, 60's exotica infects old-school electronic pulses, and where the shadows of badalamenti and morricone are always near. a clash of spectral jazz, ambient americana, spooky boogie and psychotronic pop... smoke and mirrors looks behind the curtain, searches for the blurry, mysterious and sometimes ominous world hidden under the familiar appearances. each track is a little vignette, an open story, a scene of a long-lost script. it could be the soundtrack to charles burns' black hole series or to a fevered night in a lost motel (the night country); a gentle drive under a pastel sky or a wrong turn leading to an orwellian nightmare (ocean drive, 1984); a strange reception in the dead of night, or simply corporate business as usual (masquerade); a pleasant afternoon with a quiet golf player - but isn't there a hint of madness in his eyes? (tea with mr. yi). magic, tricks, lies - a multi-faceted world of wonders that dead hollywood stars reveals through the six tracks of this ep, presented in a beautiful 3'' cd embedded in a clear 5'' disc. packaging: partly metallized 5''cd in slimline-case

text: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 Women at Risk of Diabetes Report Poorer Health, Less Exercise Women at high risk of diabetes are more likely than are women not at high risk to describe their health as "fair" or "poor," and are less likely to exercise for at least 150 minutes per week, says a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC) and the Agency for Healthcare Research (AHRQ). Based on data from 2003-2006, the report presents measures of health care quality as they relate to access to care, general health and well-being, and preventive care and behaviors. The data show that women at high risk of diabetes are more likely to be aware of having such risk factors as hypertension and overweight, and are less likely to smoke or consume alcohol. Findings also indicate, however, that disparities exist in access to and quality of care among women at high risk and lower risk for diabetes. For example, awareness of hypertensive status was lowest among Mexican-American women and highest among African-American women, regardless of diabetes risk status. Awareness of overweight status was lowest among minority women and decreased as education or family income decreased. CDC and AHRQ say the report can be used to identify areas in which intervention can help women at high risk of diabetes across the lifespan, and to focus attention on possible gaps in public health programs, policies, research, and surveillance.

Adrian Marchuk's THE SWEETEST SOUNDS Comes to Birdland Tonight
Journey through the last one hundred years of musical theatre through the lives and music of Richard Rodgers (Oklahoma, The Sound of Music), his daughter Mary Rodgers (Once Upon A Mattress) and his grandson Adam Guettel (The Light in the Piazza) in The Sweetest Sounds: A Century of Song from Rodgers to Guettell, a musical retrospective of one of Broadway's most important and enduring musical families. Conceived and written by Adrian Marchuk, the show will be presented for one exclusive performance at Birdland Jazz Club (315 West 44th Street- between 8th & 9th Avenues) tonight, February 3 at 5:00 p.m. (Doors open at 4:30). Tickets are $30 (with a $10 food/drink minimum). For reservations, visit www.birdlandjazz.com.
The all-Canadian cast includes Adrian Marchuk (Jersey Boys - Frankie Valli - Toronto, Las Vegas), Sara Farb (Next To Normal - Toronto, Calgary), Jeigh Madjus (La Cage - 1st National Tour), Samantha Hill (Phantom of the Opera - Christine Daae - Broadway - current) and David Atkinson (Musical Director/Arranger).
" I began working on the project at the end of 2009 while playing Frankie Valli in the Toronto production of Jersey Boys" explains Mr. Marchuk. "I had been approached by a local theatre company, Acting Up Stage (Caroline, Or Change, Elegies, A New Brain, Falsettos), to perform at a cabaret series during their run of The Light in the Piazza. I came up with the idea of telling the unique story of Richard Rodgers and his family - the only family to have three generations of award-winning Broadway composers. I collaborated with pianist David Atkinson and we began weaving together the stories and songs from the beginning of Rodgers' career with Larry Hart in 1925 to the most recent Tony-Award winning success by his grandson, Adam Guettel, in 2006. We brought on three more singers to help bring to life just a few dozen of the over 1000 songs composed by the Rodgers family. The show was performed under the title Words & Music for one night only at a 200-seat theatre in downtown Toronto. The response from the audience was electrifying, and I was immediately approached about a remount. Although my commitments to Jersey Boys kept me busy for the next year, the show was produced in late 2010 with its new title where it received a standing ovation and cheers from a rapturous audience of 400 at the Toronto Centre For The Arts. Since then, the show has been produced multiple times in Canada and I am now thrilled to be able to bring the show to New York's historic Birdland Jazz Club which just happens to be ten blocks from where Rodgers & Hart's first hit song, 'Manhattan', was first performed."
Adrian Marchuk (Author/Performer) was most recently seen as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys (Toronto, Las Vegas), as Fabrizio in The Light in the Piazza (Vancouver), and Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine in Next To Normal (Toronto). Regional theatre includes Bat Boy (Edgar), Joseph and...Dreamcoat (Joseph), Much Ado About Nothing (Claudio), Hello Again (The Soldier), Lend Me A Tenor (Max), and the Ontario Tour of Anne & Gilbert (Gilbert). Adrian wrote and developed The Sweetest Sounds in 2009 with pianist David Atkinson, and is beyond excited to bring it to New York.
Sara Farb (Performer) was most recently seen playing Natalie in Next to Normal at Theatre Calgary and the Citadel Theatre in Alberta, Canada, as well as in Toronto at the Tarragon Theatre. Past credits include Adele in The Passion of Adele Hugo (Eastern Front Theatre, Robert Merritt award nominee for outstanding lead actress), Songs for a New World, Scrooge (Rose Theatre),The Sisters Rosensweig (Harold Green Jewish Theatre), Edges: A Song Cycle (Acting Up Stage), A Midsummer Night's Dream (Canadian Stage), Jane Eyre, and Oliver! (MirvishProductions). Sara will be making her Stratford Festival debut this year as Jessica in The Merchant of Venice, starring Brian Bedford as Shylock. Sara loves New York, and getting to sing these songs in this city at this venue makes her really happy. Huge thanks to Adrian for making this happen.
Samantha Hill (Performer) is proudly from Winnipeg, Canada, and is currently the alternate for Christine Daae in Broadway's The Phantom of the Opera. In Canada, Samantha has performed in regional premieres of August: Osage County (Jean), The Light in the Piazza (Clara), Spring Awakening (Wendla), Nine (Carla) and Cats (Rumpleteaser). Other shows include Annie (Lily St. Regis), Chicago (Hunyak), and Beauty and the Beast (Belle). Samantha received an Ovation Award nomination for her work in The Light in the Piazza in Vancouver, Canada. She completed her BFA in Acting at the University of Alberta and also has a BA in Theatre from the University of Winnipeg. www.samanthahill.ca.
Jeigh Madjus (Performer) was born and raised in Toronto. Theatre credits: Jacob in La Cage aux Folles (1st National Broadway tour), Lola in Prison Dancer: The Musical (NYMF Outstanding Individual Performance Award), Chip Tolentino in Spelling Bee (STC), Mark in Altar Boyz (Angelwalk Theatre - Dora nominated) and Man 3 in Myths and Hymns (TIFT). Film/TV: Servitude, Prison Dancer: The Web Series. Jeigh is so excited to be continuing on this journey with The Sweetest Sounds. Thanks to Adrian and the amazing cast, and most importantly his friends and loving and supportive family. www.jeighmadjus.com.
David Atkinson (Musical Director/Arranger) has free-lanced everywhere from orchestra pits (Jersey Boys, Wicked) to Roy Thomson Hall (Canadian Tenors), in a range of styles including blues (Scott McCord and the Bonafide Truth), modern jazz (The Thing Is), and world music (Os Tropies). In 2008, David joined the silent film-inspired Keystone Theatre as music director, with whom he received the 2010 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Original Sound Design/Composition for his work on their first play "The Belle of Winnipeg". More recently, David appeared in Elton John's ensemble at this year's Fashion Cares benefit, as well as CBC Television's "Over The Rainbow" where he acted as Assistant Music Director.

What Will You Bring to the Table? is an initiative to mobilize youth from across the country to address child hunger in the U.S.
By Penny Beeman
What Will You Bring to the Table? is an initiative to mobilize youth from across the country to address child hunger in the U.S. by gathering around tables to create service projects that raise awareness and bring collective action to this critical issue. The goal is to engage 300,000 kids and teens in raising 1 million meals for children experiencing hunger in the United States.
There are nearly 17 million kids in the United States who encounter hunger at any given time throughout the year. One in five don't know where their next meal is coming from.
What Will You Bring to the Table? is powered by generationOn, the youth service enterprise of Points of Light.
Ionia Kids Club members in partnership with the Community Food Network are asking the community this very important question! The facts about Hunger Issues effecting our area are clear:
1 in 5 kids are not sure where their next meal is coming from.Often families with 1 parent working full time must choose between paying for health concerns or paying for food.It is cheaper to buy a box of mac and cheese then it is to provide healthy fruits and veggies for a family struggling to have enough food to eat.3 out of 5 teachers see kids who come to school hungry every day!The Community Food Network works to support community-grown food sources and related distribution systems in order to increase access to locally grown, fresh produce and promote it's use through educational opportunities within the community.
The Ionia Kids Club supports this mission by working with the Washington St Community Garden. Each year youth decide on a theme for the garden, work together to plant and harvest the garden, and enjoy a community meal from the garden. This year's theme will be soup! This is the fourth year for the Washington St Garden and Kids Club members have helped with many food drives along the way. But this year the focus is on soup because it is a simple way to feed many people with healthy veggies at a low cost. Many people in our community have never HAD to eat at a soup kitchen. And in reality our soup kitchens serve more just soup. But still the name "Soup Kitchen" comes from a time when most people in America suffered from Food Insecurity. A time when you could only get by because neighbors were helping neighbors. A time when kids ate first because there may not have been enough food for everyone. Times have changed! And it is amazing to here that there are still kids struggling with having enough food to eat. Studies show that Americans throw away nearly half of the food that is purchased. So why do we have kids who are hungry? And what can YOU do to help? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
VOLUNTEER - give a little of your time helping a community garden, food pantry, or with a food drive.
DONATE - Several organizations hold small food drives all year long. (Kids Club Members are collecting Peanut Butter and Jelly right now!) Each can that you donate adds to the bigger picture and helps to support local pantries.
SHARE - Invite a family that is struggling to join you for dinner one night. Do you find that you buy a bag of apples or bunch of bananas only to have some go bad? Look around your neighborhood for a child that might be struggling and ask their parent if you can give them an afternoon snack each day after school.
TEACH - share your love for gardening, cooking, canning, etc with a young mom or teen that wants to learn.
Together WE can make a difference in the lives of the children in our community! No one person can change the world, but together WE can make a difference. What will YOU bring to the Table? What can YOU do to END Hunger?
Learn more at www.WhatWillYouBringtotheTable.org.
On April 11, Kids Club members gathered to decorate 12 tablecloths with the message, "What will you bring to the table?" Tablecloths will be passed out to Community Food Network partners where they can be displayed at special events in community gardens, food pantries, and partner locations. Each time someone makes a donation or volunteers, their name can be added to the tablecloth!
From April 11 to May 16, Kids Club members will be holding their Peanut Butter & Jam Slam. Donations can be dropped off at the First Christian Church on Thursday afternoons from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. For each 10 jars collected, youth will be able to enter for a chance to win $4,000 in scholarships!
On May 18, the Community Food Network will be hosting their first-ever Hunger EXPO at the Ionia Fair Grounds in partnership with the MSU Extension 4-H Day. Learn about local food pantries, gardens and other hunger resources by attending this event!
PENNY BEEMAN, a member of the Ionia County Peace Community, works with volunteers in many United Way-supported projects. As coordinator for the Ionia Kids Club, Penny reaches out to teens, giving them a chance to Do Something GREAT in their Community!

Wynwood walls is a group exhibition of works by 10 artists located in the Wynwood area of Miami, Florida. Featured here the art of Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, Futura and Dearraindrop.
Wynwood Walls builds on the street art tradition already established in Miami's Wynwood District, a formerly derelict warehouse district that has been transformed into a thriving arts community. The open air art park, a collaboration between Tony Goldman of Goldman Projects and Jeffrey Deitch of Deitch Projects, launched during Art Basel 2009 and has rapidly become the focal point of Wynwood's artistic center. Using primed walls of buildings as their canvases, internationally respected artists from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States created the art park's original 12 expansive murals.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

We've hardly had any winter weather this year. With temperatures in the 50s or higher every day, the daffodils have been blooming for a couple of weeks.
Now, we're getting a reminder that it's still February. Tonight, the temperature will fall to around 13°F, and the high on Saturday will be about 27°F -- a whole day below the freezing point. Then, on Monday night, we may get some ice and/or snow. I would prefer snow.

While speaking at the annual meeting of the Faith and Freedom Coalition Saturday, Palin criticized President Obama and his decision to intervene in the conflict in Syria.
"We're talking now more, new interventions, I say until we know what we're doing, until we have a commander in chief who knows what he's doing … well, in these radical Islamic countries aren't even respecting basic human rights, when both sides are slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, Allahu Akbar, I say until we have someone who knows what they're doing, I say: Let Allah sort it out."
On Thursday President Obama agreed to supply military support to Syrian rebels after intelligence agencies confirmed the Syrian military had used chemical weapons on its people. The use of weapons like the nerve agent sarin crossed the "red line" necessary to trigger American involvement, said the president.

Ivan Gvozdenovic, Jean-Baptiste Fritzson and Jason Griffiths all got the chance to prove themselves against one of Europe's best on Wednesday night
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – For most of the players wearing New England Revolution jerseys on Wednesday night, the international friendly against Portuguese powerhouse SL Benfica served as an opportunity to test themselves against one of the top teams in Europe. Although a 4-0 loss wasn't the ideal result, the defeat was secondary to the experience.
However, the match was much more than that for three players currently on trial with the Revolution. Ivan Gvozdenovic, Jean-Baptiste Fritzson and Jason Griffiths were all given the chance to step on the field and show what they can do against a club which recently won its 32nd Portuguese Liga title.
While it was admittedly difficult for them to put their stamp on the match with Benfica controlling much of the possession, head coach Steve Nicol thought they did what they could considering the circumstances.
"I think they all worked extremely hard," he said. "They're all in different situations. [Fritzson] has been playing – he played in an international last week, so he's obviously a lot fitter than the other two guys. As far as the effort and work rate, they did well enough. Obviously, it's hard for anybody (in that situation)."
Of the group, only Ivan Gvozdenovic – the most experienced player of the trialists – played the full 90 minutes. Although the 31-year-old Serbian's background is primarily as a defender, he was used as a central midfielder and showed calmness on the ball during the limited time the Revs were in possession.
Despite the difficulties presented – including his adjustment to the time zone after arriving in the United States just a few days ago – Gvozdenovic said he felt good in his stint on Wednesday night and was particularly impressed with the welcoming nature of the Revolution players.
"The players were very friendly, very kind," he said. "They wanted to help me because they know I am a new player. It was difficult for me to play because it was my first game with [these] players, and I didn't know how [they] play, or where I needed to move. They were talking a lot on the field, they were speaking all of the time. I think that I can say big things for the players."
Fritzson – a 24-year-old Haiti National Team forward – also earned a start, playing up top alongside Zack Schilawski. He registered the Revolution's only shot on goal with a long-range drive in the 23rd minute, while he also blasted a 20-yard shot just over the bar in the 63rd minute. He was replaced by Kheli Dube in the 71st minute.
Griffiths came off the bench at halftime to play central midfield alongside Gvozdenovic and wasted no time getting himself involved in the game, picking up a yellow card just one minute into the second half. A recent graduate of the University of Kentucky, Griffiths was drafted by the Revolution in the third round (48th overall) of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, but chose to finish his degree before joining the Revs on trial.
After the match, Griffiths said he was looking forward to continuing his trial next week, when the Revolution will have its first full week of training since late April.
"It felt good," he said of his appearance on Wednesday night. "It was tough playing against Benfica, but it felt good to be out there. I think I did alright and I look forward to coming up next week and training with the team."
After watching the trio of trialists perform against Benfica, Nicol said that he'll continue to evaluate the players in training before making any decisions on possible contract offers.
"We have to take everything into consideration," he said. "The condition he's in, if he's been training full-time, the competition. With the opportunity that he did have, what did he do? We'll certainly take care about it and try to evaluate it the best we can and be fair all around."

A ring for every occasion.
SRAM's XX1 is a fresh approach to drivetrain designs that builds on proven, and preferred, principles of established riders and racers alike. One-by setups are nothing new, but none have offered the ratio spread, chain retention, and performance driven technology that this 11-speed group does. The single front chainring, in fact, packs as much design time as some multiple-cog cassettes.
Take a look at the tooth profile, and its shape is decidedly unique. This isn't your run of the mill single-speed ring. The contours are designed to optimize the chain-to-ring interface for holding the chain on, and each tooth's thickness alternates to match the inside width of inner and outer links. No other chainring on the market does this.
Another unique feature is that the ring is threaded. You won't find traditional two-piece bolts here, the bolts thread directly into the ring. This eliminates the 'nut' for reduced weight and a stiffer interface with XX1 crank arms. Even the tabs are machined to interlock with the spider for reduced load on the bolts themselves.
The rings are only compatible with XX1 cranks and 11-speed chains. SRAM's CNC-machined alloy XX1 Chainrings come in six sizes: 28T, 30T, 32T, 34T, 36T, 38T.
- For one-by mountain bike configurations
- Aluminum fabrication with threaded bolts and machined tabs
- Compatible with SRAM XX1 cranks and SRAM 11-speed chain

Great Chainring XX1 Rocks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this with my XX1 Carbon cranks on a 1X10 Set up for my fatback winter ride. I have the 28 tooth chainring on front and 11-42 on the rear. With the 28 tooth and the 42 my granny gear is just low enough to be able to climb steep sections when I'm in snow. I had a 30 tooth before in the summer but needed that extra gear for snow. It makes it tougher to climb and well, 1x10 is nice because it makes the spacing slightly larger for riding in poor conditions where stuff can get in your drivetrain. Definitley recommend this chainring, plus it looks nice!!
Big fan of the 1x11 set-up
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Went with the 34. Its a great size for cross country riding. Have used the xx1 for about 1 year and it has performed well.
This one goes to 11... obviously.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
No noise, smooth and simple. No better reason to go to "11" and the XSync keeps it all in line. The durability could be a little better, but since it is like the equivalent of riding in your middle ring all day, everyday, it seems about right. I have had about 4 of these rings now, and can say I have yet to drop a chain!
Just Replaced
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Had about 1500 miles on my original ring and it started making noise and catching a bit, creating some drivetrain drag. Replaced this along with the XX1 chain and my drivetrain is back to being quiet and smooth. Highly recommended if you have a bunch of miles on your front ring.
Great ring!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bike came with a 32, which was a bit much for Tahoe area climbs.
Put on the 30 and all is good!
Addicted to one
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I admit it. I'm a 1-by addict. I recently switched from my 34t to a smaller 30t ring. I have no issues climbing with a 34 (and I live in PC) but I think my knees would prefer I spin more....
Excellent chainring! The tooth design eliminates chain drop, and paired with the XX1 rear derailleur, I've never so much as missed a shift.
If you're going 1-by....go SRAM.
The last paragraph says that this ring is...
The last paragraph says that this ring is only compatible with XX1 cranks. Will it bolt up to a X01 crank? I can't find anything on SRAM that says it won't but nothing says it will for sure.
Great Chain Ring
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This chain ring is the bee's knees. Every other cog is a different shape so it forms a "lock and key," mechanism that keeps your chain from getting tossed off of your chain ring. I ride with the 32 tooth which is pretty good for all mountain riding but if you got stronger legs or focus a little more on the downhill aspect of riding you might want to go with a 34 tooth chain ring. If you have any questions about the XX1 drivetrain feel free to give me a call.
Here is my contact information: My direct line 801.736.6396 ex. 4389. Feel free call to me anytime, I?m always happy to talk about bikes or gear or the weather. Whatever works! I?m here Mon, Tues and Friday 1:30-10pm MST and Saturday 9-5:30 as well as Sunday 10-7. I look forward to speaking with you.
XX1 is top notch
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The XX1 system is top notch and a great addition to any mtn bike. These chain rings are durable and light weight and very easy to install. Highly recommended.
Great so far
Not much to say here: it's been durable half way through the season and the alternating wide small tooth pattern holds the chain very well. I've taken some pretty rough decents and haven't dropped the chain or felt it skip.

Traditionally in Korea, the men are never in the kitchen. My husband is no exception to that. For as long as we have lived in the US, our attitudes concerning kitchen duties haven't changed that much.
In part because he is required to do more work outside of home including gardening and etc, and I spend more time inside at home, cleaning the house, and cooking. So a typical scene after work is that my husband first heads to the TV set in the family room, and I head toward the kitchen.
How did cooking become a woman's chore? I suppose there's this idea that cooking in Korea was not considered very manly. Men are supposed to work on the things that require more physical strength -- not that the cooking doesn't require strength and effort, after all standing up while cooking all day can be very tiring. But overall cooking is probably less strenuous than working in the field.
But now I hear that the tradition is changing even in Korea, as the new households consists of just a husband, wife and the kids instead of the old days, where you had grandparents, parents and the kids. In other words, there are no more "in-laws" looking over your shoulder who can criticize what you do and don't. And with the changing world everywhere, a lot of women in Korea need (or want) to go out to work to split the cost of the living.
I heard that some of the "matbuli bubu" (a working couple where both the husband and wife have jobs), the lifestyle has been changing. Men are trying to help with women's chores -- including cooking -- since they both have to work. A lot of the salarymen who were mid-managers are involuntarily retiring, or getting phased out in order to make room for the younger generation, so, the women may be able to find more work, and it ends up being the men who stay home. In those situations, of course the men will need to take care of more household chores, like going into the kitchen and cooking. So, the men's roles either reversed or expanded into the traditional women's territory – like taking care of the children, doing dishes, and even doing cooking – somewhat like here in America where stay at home dads are normal.
These are for the younger generations. But for the older generations, like us, the values we grew up with are the ones we are stuck with. When we immigrated to United States in the 70's, we brought our culture with us. Of course, the living conditions were very different, too: it was not possible for me to be a stay at home mom, almost all women had to help earn a living. So, first generation immigrant women worked outside of home, running a small business of some sort usually, on top of your traditional womanly chores!
The cooking part was always women's role to do, with not much help from the men. My husband would at times cook ramyeon (ramen) for himself, his all time favorite food, but over the years, he ventured into cooking other dishes. One dish he makes from time to time is fish casserole. He throws in a bunch of fresh seafood: cod, clams, shrimps, scallops, muscles, and oysters – all the seafood you can put your hands on, he put in. Then he adds some vegetables, like onion, mushrooms, and cabbages – plus hot peppers, garlic and so on. All in all, it tasted good – and I give him the credit for the effort and praise him for the taste too ("Oh, it tastes good – you are quite a chef"), so he will cook it again soon. I will pretty much eat anything if I don't have to cook!
He keeps saying that when he retires, he will start cooking, even go and take cooking classes. I can't wait till then.

Dream World (夢の世界, Yume no Sekai) is volume 63 of the Naruto manga.
Chapter 598
- "Shattered!!!!" (粉砕!!!!, Funsai!!!!)
Charging forward, Naruto attacks Tobi using a giant chakra arms which Tobi simply phases through, chiding the boy of thinking that he could defeat him on his own. As Guy tries to snap Kakashi out of the shock brought on from Tobi's revelation, they see the masked man send three giant shuriken hurtling towards Naruto from the other dimension. Catching two of them on his tentacles, one of B and Gyūki's tentacles is cut by the third but is stopped by Naruto who retorts Tobi's earlier remark by telling he's never truly alone as he has Kurama and the others supporting him. Now motivated by Guy to act, Kakashi notes that he had to time the next use of his Kamui perfectly, despite Tobi chastising his "borrowed power" and stated intentions of showing him Kamui's true potential. Acting immediately, Tobi jumps into the air and sends out a number of chakra receiver stakes which pierce B and Gyūki. Warning Naruto not to let them touch him as it sealed off the tailed beasts' power, Naruto creates a shadow clone while being protected by Gyūki. While a clone charged forward with the Rasengan, the original prepared the Tailed Beast Ball. As the clone prepares to attack, Kakashi seemingly warps away the Rasengan again while Tobi — seeing the same attack pattern — decides to attack the clone with one of the stakes, rather than having him go through him. With the clone seemingly dispelled, Tobi phases through the Tailed Beast Ball, and fully enters the other dimension. There, Tobi is shocked to see Naruto and realises that Kakashi had warped the clone there to wait for him. Declaring that he had nowhere to run, Naruto slams the Rasengan into Tobi's face, shattering the mask with Naruto asking his enemy who he is.
Chapter 599
- "Obito Uchiha " (うちはオビト, Uchiha Obito)
Arriving late for the Academy entrance exam, Obito Uchiha is stunned to see the huge crowd of young shinobi present. After exchanging glares with Kakashi Hatake, Obito is given his entrance papers by Rin Nohara. During the Chūnin Exams, after arriving late for the second round of the exam which was to take place in the Forest of Death, Obito, alongside his teammates Kakashi and Rin, faces off against Might Guy, Ebisu and Genma Shiranui in a group battle. Wanting to impress Rin, Obito moved to the fore and prepared to attack the group with a Fire Release technique, but the sweet he had been given by the elderly lady whom he had helped with her luggage had slipped down his throat. Guy used this opportunity to unceremoniously kick Obito — unknowingly saving his life in the process. After receiving medical attention from Rin, the two converse, with Obito indicating his pride in being a member of the Uchiha clan and expressing the wish to become Hokage. Training arduously for the third round of the Chūnin Exams, Obito later faces Guy in the individual matches, but is quickly defeated despite expressing his confidence in winning prior to the start of the match. As Rin cheers Kakashi on when he defeats Guy in a subsequent match, Obito appears jealous and resigned over Rin's lack of reciprocation of his hidden feelings. After becoming a chūnin, Obito is approached by Rin, and intends to confess his feelings for her, only to become too embarrassed and soon overlooked by Kakashi's recent promotion to jōnin. Shortly after, Obito dies during a mission with his team. But in the present day, as the mask falls away from Tobi's face, Kakashi and Guy are very shocked to see that Tobi is in fact their old comrade Obito Uchiha.
Chapter 600
- "How Come Until Now?" (なぜ今まで, Naze Ima Made)
Shocked by this revelation, Kakashi and Guy started asking the once masked man whether he truly was Obito, but upon seeing his Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi noted that there was no doubt about it. However, Obito reiterated his point that it was insignificant what they called him, and all that mattered to him was his Eye of the Moon Plan. Kakashi had a flashback to the time when Obito died, and then asked whether he had survived the cave in. This led Naruto to ask them who the person in front of them was. Guy answered that he was a former classmate of theirs who supposedly died during the Third Shinobi World War. Kakashi, still in shock, asked Obito that if he had survived then why had he not made this fact known until now. Obito retorts that whether he survived or not was unimportant. However, if Kakashi really had to have an answer to why Obito had done what he did, it was simply because Kakashi had failed to protect Rin. Even more devastated by this response, Kakashi asked him if he was going to blame him for it. Obito answered that he did not see any point in blaming this useless reality which would disappear soon enough. Naruto tried to rally his sensei, telling him that right now, Obito's plan needed to be stopped and that he would listen to the story later. Obito used the Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance technique sending a giant vortex of flames towards his opponents. Kakashi, unable to register what was happening, simply stood there despite Guy calling out to him. Naruto, however, intercepted the attacks with Kurama's tails. Before any side could act further, they were interrupted by Madara's appearance on their battlefield. Standing beside the younger Uchiha, the legendary shinobi remarked that Obito seemed to be having fun, much to the onlookers' surprise.
Chapter 601
- "Obito and Madara" (オビトとマダラ, Obito to Madara)
As Madara arrived on the battlefield, Naruto, Kakashi, Guy and B were all shocked to see the legendary shinobi before them, leading them to wonder what had happened to the Kage. As Madara and Obito casually carried on their conversation, Madara noted that the Naruto in front of them was also a clone. Madara tells the jinchūriki that the Kage were probably not doing well much to the latter's enragement. Elsewhere, Tsunade, who had been split into two, managed to summon Katsuyu. Katsuyu was distressed at Tsunade's condition and immediately wanted to piece her back together. However Tsunade told the giant slug to bring the other Kage to her as there might still be time to save them. Back on the battlefield, Obito returned Madara's gunbai to him in time for the famed Uchiha to block a volley of black receivers which Naruto had sent flying at the two of them. After hearing the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Madara asked Obito why he started the plan half-way through without the Eight and the Nine-Tails being captured and deemed his actions as hasty. He also accredited the manner in which he was brought back to the world of the living as being due to Obito's haste and questioned him about what had happened to Nagato and the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique that was supposed to bring him back. Upon hearing that they wanted to use his fellow disciple in this manner, an enraged Naruto moved to attack them with a Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball. Madara, however, blocked the attack and sent the force back at the clone, expelling it. Concluding the the fact that the young Uchiha must have a plan, Madara moved to capture the Eight and the Nine-Tails, leaving Obito to deal with Guy and Kakashi. Kakashi used this opportunity to question his old friend about what had happened to him and Obito had a flashback of being heavily bandaged and stitched together in a place that an old and wizened Madara referred to as being between the land of living and the dead.
Chapter 602
- "Alive" (生きている, Ikite iru)
Disoriented, Obito asks Madara whether he was also an Uchiha after seeing his Sharingan, then after seeing his scythe, whether he was a Shinigami who had come to take him to heaven or hell. Obito panics pleading to the thought-to-be Shinigami to spare him from hell because throughout his life, his actions had not been all that bad. As the young Uchiha winced in pain from his sudden movement, Madara tells him to take that pain as a sign that he was still alive, however barely. Madara then tells the young man that it was he who saved him after he appeared in his underground passage, but in return, Obito must repay him his debt. Obito, however, tells the old man that he can't stay too long for he still had friends to protect as a war was still ongoing. Madara chastises Obito, telling him that with his body in the current state that it was, he could no longer be a shinobi. Dismaying, that he had finally awoken the power to protect his comrades, Madara lectures Obito about the reality of the shinobi world and all its ills. Obito then notices the change in demeanour the old man had, though Obito is still adamant that he wants to leave leading Madara to state that he was free to leave, if he was able to do so. Obito then begins to wonder what an old man with a Sharingan was doing in a place such as this. He finally questions the elder on who he was, asking whether or not he was a missing-nin. Madara, now seated, however, responds stating that he was "a ghost of the Uchiha": Madara Uchiha. In shocked disbelief, Obito states that the man before him could not be his ancestor as Madara had died during his fight with Hashirama Senju decades ago. The elder explains to the young Uchiha that he escaped death and that he needs constant chakra supply from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to survive or he would die right away. Aggravated, Obito forces himself out of bed stating that he would go back to Konoha. Madara then warns him that moving will probably rip off the artificial body which he had to use on him. Madara repeats again that Obito needs to do what he says from now on. Obito angrily asks what Madara wants to which he simply replies that he wanted to create a perfect world, but Obito is still adamant, determined to protect his friends. Still weak, Madara explains to Obito that he will take his Sharingan if he dies trying to force himself to leave, noting that he himself was using another's eye, having left his own to someone else and the Sharingan requires two eyes to bring out their true potential. Thinking to himself, Obito states that he can't waste time, and tells Kakashi and Rin to wait for him as he was still alive.
Chapter 603
- "Rehabilitation" (リハビリ, Rihabiri)
Left to the company of White Zetsu and another with a spiral-like facial pattern, Obito becomes thoroughly annoyed at the duo, who are fascinated with how human bodily functions work — not having the need themselves to eat, drink, or even use the bathroom. Telling them not to lump him in with their lot, Obito notes that only half of him was made of artificial material. Stating that they were supposed to help Obito with his rehabilitation until Madara woke up, the duo began to question Obito about why he kept repeating a bell sound and "stupid Kakashi" during his slumber. After explaining that the third clone had gone outside to gather information and that they were able to move through the earth, the two Zetsu begin to recite Madara's plans for world peace. Disregarding this, Obito once again states his resolve to leave this place and join Rin and Kakashi, thus began his painful rehabilitation while remembering his time with Rin and Kakashi with his memories being trying to kiss a picture of Rin even after taping out Kakashi's face and later after training trying to give Rin a signal that he loves her, only for Obito to discover much to his annoyance that Rin was looking at Kakashi, not Obito. After one training incident that leaves Obito suffering from a wound in his hand, Rin patches him up and tells him it's not good of Obito to hide his wounds because she's looking after him. In the present and after what seems to be a fair amount of time passing, Obito, whose hair has noticeably grown longer, is able to use the artificial limbs perfectly. One day, White Zetsu returned to the hideout and alerted Obito that his comrades were in danger, surrounded by Kirigakure shinobi. Leaping into action, Obito tries to break out of the cave, but only manages to crack the rock and tear off his right arm. The spiral-patterned Zetsu offers up himself as a suit of sorts and encases the young Uchiha, who prepares to head out.
Chapter 604
- "Reunion, and Then" (再会、そして, Saikai, soshite)
Accessing the power of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path while connected to Hashirama's living clone, impressing the original White Zetsu, a Tobi-encased Obito is able to break the boulder used to cover one of the passage ways. An awakened Madara asks whether or not the young Uchiha was leaving and despite Obito thanking Madara for saving his life, Madara disregards it stating that he would be back to thank him more sincerely. With White Zetsu ready to remotely give his clone directions, Obito dons a cloak before leaving. As he rushes towards his friends' location, he receives updates about the situation, and learns that Minato is not with them. The clone then tells Obito that as he was weaker than him, it would be best to let him fight in his stead, but Obito refutes this stating that Kakashi had his other Sharingan, and his combination with him would be better. As the clone tells him about the additional benefits of having the Senju and Uchiha DNA, Obito believes that it is raining before he sees giant geysers of water rising up from the earth due to explosions. Continuing to that location, Obito begins to see flashes of Rin from his left eye socket with a hand running through her chest. Believing these to be nothing more than phantom images, the young Uchiha presses on only to arrive on the battlefield to see Kakashi's hand run through Rin's chest.
Chapter 605
- "Hell" (地獄, Jigoku)
As Kakashi releases Rin from his grip, both he and Obito watch her die, causing them to awaken their Mangekyō Sharingan. As Kakashi passes out, Obito flies into a fit of rage and disbelief which catches the attention of the Kirigakure ninja. Wooden spikes begin to grow from Obito's right side as he commences his assault. Mercilessly, Obito uses a combination of Kamui and the Wood Release: Cutting Technique to kill all the Kiri-nin on the battlefield. Amazed that the young Uchiha could already use Wood Release, Tobi noted that he now knew why Madara had chosen the young man. Realising that they could not win, the Kiri-nin decide to pull out but not before retrieving Rin's body. Obito, who was not about to let any such thing happen, slips through several more Kiri-nin and then slaughters the ninja that had tried to retrieve Rin's body. All the while questioning where he was, a blood-spattered Obito crushes the remaining Kiri-nin between giant branches, and as he stands in a pool of his opponents' blood, comes to the conclusion that he must be in hell.
Chapter 606
- "Dream World" (夢の世界, Yume no Sekai)
Still in disbelief, Obito walks over towards Rin's body, with Madara and White Zetsu's words echoing in his head. Phasing right through Kakashi's body as he went, he stopped only when he had reached Rin's corpse. Initially phasing through the kunoichi's body as he tried to check her pulse, Obito finally realises that she is in fact dead and as he cradled Rin's lifeless body, vowed to create a world where she was alive, and change the fate of this world. After returning to Madara, as the elder Uchiha had predicted, and hearing from White Zetsu that no one saw them, he beckons the young Uchiha to his side. Telling Obito to look into his left eye, Madara takes the young man to a genjutsu where as a means to explain his plans, made himself look younger before telling Obito the story of the Sage of the Six Paths and the Ten-Tails. Some time after this, Obito and Zetsu would travel to Amegakure to meet Nagato — a young man of Senju lineage that Madara had implanted his Rinnegan which he had awoken before shutting himself away from the world. Obito remembers Madara telling him that he had acquired the dōjutsu after implanting Senju DNA into his body, but not until he had neared the end of his lifespan, did the dōjutsu awaken. Madara would later explain that this allowed him to summon the empty shell of the Ten-Tails and use it as a catalyst to cultivate the Hashirama's living clone. Madara would then teach Obito how to control the statue, several Uchiha kinjutsu and Yin–Yang Release. He, at some point, put his will into half of White Zetsu, thus creating Black Zetsu, and also into Hashirama's living clone, causing a black receiver to extend from the clone's navel and told Obito to use it when he was going to use the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive him before breaking the connection to the statue. As life left the elder Uchiha's body, he told Obito to go until the time he was revived. At this point, Obito and Zetsu approach Nagato, with Obito announcing himself to be Madara Uchiha.
Chapter 607
- "I Don't Care Any More" (どうでもいいんだよ, Dō Demo Īn da yo)
Upon hearing who the man claims to be, Yahiko declares him to either be a criminal or an idiot for using the legend's name. Nagato, on the other hand, is eager to meet someone who knows more about the Rinnegan, but before he can approach Obito and Zetsu, a wary Yahiko escorts him and Konan away, telling the masked man not to approach them again. Before they leave, however, Obito tells Nagato that he would reappear at the same time and place everyday until Nagato realised that his words were true. Some time later, Obito returns to Konohagakure clad in his flame-patterned mask, and heads to the Konoha Cemetery, where he watches on as Kakashi Hatake stands over Rin Nohara's grave. Eventually the young man leaves to visit the Memorial Stone, leaving flowers on her grave, and mentioning highly classified information, that their sensei's son would be born soon. Obito, spying on Kakashi from afar, approaches Rin's grave and angrily throws aside the flowers. Later, Obito subsequently utilises this information to his advantage, and when confronted by his former sensei, he remembers his first encounter with his team and then states that he no longer cared about this world. In present time, Naruto declares to Madara that he was Minato's son and would not be persuaded by him. Noting that he was being lenient because Naruto was a true jinchūriki, he declares that now, he would not hold back. Creating an enormous Wood Dragon, he notes that it had been used by Hashirama Senju in the past to bind the Nine-Tails, which prompts Naruto to manifest Kurama's body in Tailed Beast Mode to fight it. Kakashi asks Obito why he chose to follow someone like Madara, but the Uchiha notes that all that was left was for him and Kakashi to have their final fight as he had nothing left to say to him.
Author's Note
| It's really hitting me these days, that I've aged...
No matter how much I sleep, I'm still tired and my eyes are blurry. Yet I can't sleep for very long. I recall writing here before that I was starting to become an old man, but I've already completed my first evolution and am now in the middle of my second evolution from old man to geezer! Pokémon evolve and get stronger, but humans just get weaker!
But I'm gonna keep drawing manga!
—Masashi Kishimoto, 2012

We provide students not only with a place to live, but with the opportunity to create and sustain a non-profit organization that upholds values of community, responsibility and awareness. Although our focus is and will remain supplying students with affordable housing, there is much more to a Co-op than paying rent on time. In essence, the Co-op is what we make of it: it gives us the opportunity to actually make a difference in the way we live.
While we normally provide rooms only to post-secondary students, in the summer time, we open our doors to short and long-term visitors, in our detached and semi-detached, historic houses.
The link below will explain how Co-ops work. The difference with CCRI is that we are self-sufficient and receive no government funding. Therefore, all of our rooms are offered at market rates and there is no subsidy.

My US-research has been almost entirely Brooklyn-based. Three quarters of my grandparents were born there, and a number of their parents and grandparents before them. As a result, I spend a lot of research time on Brooklyn, and I devote a lot of additional time to reading and learning about Brooklyn's history over the past couple of centuries. When I first started exploring the online genealogy community, I searched on Geneabloggers for other genealogy blogs about Brooklyn, and was shocked by how little I found. Plenty of content from the Virtual Dime Museum, some from the Ancestral Archaeologist and Tracing the Tribe, and more recently, the blog Brooklyn in Love and at War. But there was very little else that either focused on Brooklyn or treated it with any regularity.
Wondering about this disconnect has led me to ask the following poll question of my readers: Did your ancestors live in Brooklyn? I'd love to get as large a sample as possible - we'll see how readers of a genealogy-focused blog compare to that mythical 1 in 7 - so please select an answer below.
Did your ancestors live in Brooklyn?
*I wish could find the contemporary newspaper articles, in which Brooklyn papers are proud and Manhattan papers, ever superior, are absolutely incredulous. If memory serves, they say things like "Brooklyn now claims to be the 3rd large city in the Union," despite the fact that it's Census data, not Brooklyn egos, that underlie the claim.

Wabash River: Agriculture's Impact on Wabash Riverby Clayton Craig '08 • June 28, 2006 Share:
Three Wabash men elected to navigate Indiana's length of the Wabash River to study its history, biology, and beauty.
The Wabash River Drainage Basin encompasses approximately 80 percent of Indiana as well as small portions of both Ohio and Illinois; essentially, its one massive funnel that drains into the Wabash River. To gain a slightly better understanding of the enormity of this funnel, it covers approximately 62,000 square kilometers of Indiana, 22,500 square kilometers of Illinois and 740 square kilometers of Ohio. With that much water flowing toward one location it is bound to have a major impact on the Wabash River.
For as long as there has been agriculture, farmers have had to deal with erosion. Farmers located within the Wabash River Drainage Basin are no exception. My part, as the biologist in the Wabash River Group, was to look at the impact agriculture has had on the Wabash River ecosystem. During a 340-mile canoe trip down the river three College men observed different farming practices such as planting to the edge of banks of rivers and streams and how each practice affects the Wabash River.
We canoed from the Mississinewa River north of Peru all the way to where it empties into the Ohio. Throughout the duration of the trip Craig took water measurements testing for conductivity, oxygen saturation, secchi depth, and the total amount of dissolved solids. Each of the measurements offers a general knowledge of how much sediment is being dumped in the river via tributaries that stem from throughout the Wabash River Drainage Basin.
Craig has synthesized his data and written a paper addressing the problems of agricultural erosion and what steps are being taken to prevent it.
Craig '08 is a biology major from Morristown, Ind.

Time: This Upcoming Saturday and Sunday December 15th, 16th @ 6PM PST.
1) The FC that is present in CTF should be in all games
2) No speed capping a node before a game.
3) We'll wargame each of the six RBG maps three times, each in a randomized round-robin order.
4) Both teams are able to switch team compositions each game.
5) No non-arena cooldowns (including Ankh, Army, Lay on Hands, Rebirth, Lust, etc)
6) No "ghosting" or peeking on the opposing team's streams. This should include all players on the roster.
