The jet and engine maker said the result was not the outcome the company would have chosen", but added it "remains committed" to Britain, where it employs 23,000 people.
The UK's decision will have no immediate impact on our day-to-day business.
The medium and long-term effect will depend upon the relationships that are established between the UK, the EU and the rest of the world over the coming years.

Very sad to hear the news re: Bristol legend DJ Derek. My thoughts go out to his family & friends at this very difficult time
Maybe inevitable but truly sad news about DJ Derek if true... He was a dj legend, incredible music buff and will be v missed @bestival :(
And there should definitely be a national day of mourning in his beloved Wetherspoons-I think he'd visited and drank in all of them! #derek
in fact every time i booked DJ Derek i had to phone his landline (no email) and talk through which bus route he'd take to get there so...
he could visit a newly opened Wetherspoons en route. those phone calls were some of the most charming interactions I've ever had with a DJ!

Are you expressing breathlessness even after a small workout or during regular regime? Have you gone through an experience of hearing wheezy and whistling sounds while breathing normally? Facing difficulties in talking or performing any activity due to shortness of breath? Then, you may have Asthma. If so, you are one of them who thought that Asthma could cause in particular years, then you are mistaken. It is a kind of disease, which does not depend upon the age and gender. Thus undergoing Asthma treatment is very necessary to live a healthy lifestyle.
This disease can cause various difficulties in day-to-day life. To combat these problems, we need to know what Asthma is, how it causes and what are its symptoms.
Asthma is a condition, which affects the airways that carry air to and from the lungs. The airways become inflamed and make it harder to breathe for the asthmatic patient. The inflammation or swelling makes the inner airway wall extremely small and sensitive to allergic reactions. There is the excess formation of mucus, which in turn make people breathless and causes chest tightness. The research studies have been reported that Asthma is an incurable illness. But, with various lifestyle changes and good habit, one can live a normal life.
What are the Causes and Risk Factors for Asthma?
Not all the people suffering from Asthmatic condition reacts in the same manner for same Asthma triggers. The reasons for developing Asthma differ from person to person.
- The studies have shown that the history of Asthma, allergies, eczema of parents is likely to cause Asthma in their child.
- Sometimes, if mother keep smoking during the pregnancy, then there are high chances that her kid will suffer from Asthma in the future.
- Even if you don't smoke and spend time with people who smoke then you are likely to develop Asthma in near future.
- Airborne constituents such as dust, pet dander, plant pollen, particles of cockroachwaste, animals hair, strong smell of perfume, smoke of incense sticks etc. are considered to trigger Asthmatic conditions.
- A common cough and other respiratory problems can cause Asthma in many people.
- Sitting in a cold air for more time can trigger a cough and cold, which ultimately cause Asthma.
- Excess physical activities can lead to shortness of breath and the one can suffer from Asthma attack if the lung doesn't get an adequate amount of oxygen in desired time.
- Emotions trauma, stress and work burden can also trigger Asthma.
- Some Asthmatic people are allergic to medicines, which includes aspirin, Avil, Napoxen etc.
- Being overweight is a very crucial reason for developing Asthma.
- Exposure to the chemical during farming, manufacturing, hairdressing, coloring etc.
What are the Symptoms of Asthma?
All asthmatic patients do not show symptoms all the time, but while doing exercise or encountering any triggers displays signs of Asthma. These symptoms vary from person to person. Some common symptoms are as follows:
- Chest tightness or pain in the chest during regular breathing
- Shortness of breath after a workout session or during any stressful activity
- Coughing and production of wheezing sound
- Trouble in sleeping
- Difficulties in talking while suffering from chest congestion
- Feeling suffocated due to any strong scent
- Uncomfortable feeling and shortness of breath due to pollen or pollution
These symptoms are depending upon the particular condition. Some people do not react to the same reaction next time they countered the Asthma triggers.
When the Asthma Treatment is in consideration, lifestyle choices play a vital role.
How Lifestyle Changes Play Important Role in the Improvement of Asthmatic Condition?
Most of the people known the reasons for Asthma, but do not try to change their lifestyle. You must be thinking that in today's demanding world, hectic workloads, and tiring household chaos how can one change the way he/ she lives? You would be glad to hear that some small changes can lead to a healthy lifestyle and improves the asthmatic conditions.
Manage the Stress Level:
I know it is difficult to not think about pending works, family and personal problems, economic issues, daily workloads etc. But, you can take small steps to reduce the stress level. For you help, daily yoga, meditation, and some exercise can rewind your stress and can keep you rejuvenating all day long. Deep breathing exercises such as Pranayama for 20 minutes daily can enhance the ability of your lungs to take more amount of oxygen. Keeping yourself active and clam at the same time is a key to reduce Asthma problems. You can also perform your favorite activities at part-time such as dancing, singing, painting, etc to feel refreshing. Taking snaps in between the hectic work schedule will relax your senses and keep you soothing.
Smoking Habits:
It is the most important environmental factor that causes Asthma. If you are one of the sufferers of Asthma, then you should quit smoking completely as it harms the lung walls, which can lead to adverse Asthmatic conditions. The studies have reported that the one with smoking habits is more likely to develop Asthma that the one who does not smoke. If you want to live a healthy lifestyle, then avoid places, which have smoking zones. Do not allow your friend to smoke in your home or in the car as passive smoking is also equally injurious to our health. Do not send your kid to any such place where people can smoke.
Control Excess Weight:
Overweight makes people lethargic thus, it can cause various health problems. Excess weight can build pressure on the lungs and rib cage, making it very difficult to breathe normally for the Asthmatic patient. Start with very light exercise such as yoga, breathing exercise, walking in the park, jogging for 5-15 minutes, stretching for about 15 minutes, etc. Imbibing these tips will help you start a healthy lifestyle and will help improve Asthma condition.
Eating Habits:
Food intake plays an important role in Asthma patient. Incorporate omega-3 fatty acid in your daily diet. The fatty fishes like salmon and tuna are very beneficial to reduce bronchial inflammation. Green leafy vegetables like spinach is a rich source of vitamin C that is helpful in promoting healthy immunity and reducing wheezing in children. Some berries are also useful in Asthma treatment. Carrots contain beta-carotene and considered to have ant-oxidant properties, which get converted in Vitamin A in the body to improve immunity and thus it helps in Asthma. Along with these healthy habits, avoid fast food, dried food, excess potatoes, and alcohol to live a healthy lifestyle.

Incline baseball | Highlanders clinch playoff berth with clutch wins
May 13, 2014
Final Northern Division III standings
1. North Tahoe 12-2*
2. Battle Mountain 11-3*
3. Yerington 11-3*
4. Incline 8-6*
5. Pershing County 7-7
6. West Wendover 4-10
7. White Pine 2-12
8. Silver Stage 1-13
* Clinched playoff berth.
The Incline baseball team, which had fallen to fifth place in the standings after seven consecutive losses, looked to be in trouble entering the final league doubleheader at first-place Battle Mountain on Saturday.
The Highlanders picked a good time to get back in the win column. They upset Battle Mountain twice, 12-7 and 10-6, to steal the fourth and final playoff seed from Pershing County, which dropped two against North Tahoe on Saturday.
When the dust settled, North Tahoe (12-2) overtook Battle Mountain (11-3) for the top seed in the Northern Division III regional championship tournament. Yerington (11-3) is the No. 3 seed and Incline, which improved to 8-6, is the No. 4 seed. Pershing County wound up the odd team out, at 7-7.
Incline will now face North Tahoe in the opening round of the regional tournament in Lovelock on Friday at 9 a.m. Battle Mountain and Yerington square off on the other side of the bracket at 11:30 a.m. The tournament, which continues Saturday, is double elimination, with the top two teams advancing to state.
Clutch wins
Junior pitcher Jack Clouthier started Game 1 at Battle Mountain and earned the win with a gutsy complete-game effort.
Recommended Stories For You
The right-hander gave up four runs in the first inning, another two in the third and one in the fourth, then held the Longhorns scoreless over the final three innings to preserve the Highlanders' lead. Clouthier gave up five hits while walking seven and striking out seven. He worked around five errors.
Incline gained the lead with a seven-run outburst in the third inning. They added on with a run in the fourth, another in the fifth and two more in the seventh.
The Highlanders had 11 hits in the game, with Clouthier going 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs, and Kenny Savelieff driving in three runs with a double. Tommy Thompson went 3-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI, Owen Graffis was 2-for-3 with two RBIs, Masxsimo Battel contributed a double and RBI, and Tommy Dolan and Alex Barnard each had a hit.
After North Tahoe beat Pershing County in their first game, the Highlanders' playoff hopes were alive.
They responded by scoring another 10 runs against the Longhorns in the nightcap. The game was tightly contested, with Incline jumping out to a 1-0 led in the first inning, Battle Mountain tying the score in the second, and Incline taking a 3-1 lead in the third.
The Longhorns plated a run in the fourth to pull to within a run, but the Highlanders answered with another in the fifth, then six more in the sixth for a 10-2 lead. The hosts made things interesting with a four-run bottom of the sixth, but Incline held them off the board in the seventh to escape with the win and the fourth playoff seed after North Tahoe completed its sweep at Pershing County.
Dolan picked up the win, limiting the Longhorns to just two runs on one hit, despite 12 walks. He struck out five. Battel pitched three innings in relief, recording six strikeouts while giving up four runs (three earned) on one hit and four walks.
Incline had 12 hits. Dolan helped his cause with a 4-for-4 game with two doubles, a home run and three RBIs. The blast was Dolan's seventh of the season, while his three RBIs pushed his season total to 30 and his four hits upped his average to a team-leading .517.
Clouthier went 3-for-3 with three doubles and an RBI, Battel was 2-for-4 with two RBIs, and Thompson contributed a double and RBI. Owen Graffis added two hits.
Thompson finished the regular season hitting .449, with a team-high 12 doubles and 33 RBIs. Clouthier will enter the postseason hitting .464 with four home runs, while Battel is hitting a shade under .400, at .397.

What will you see after the Captain America credits?
If you don't like spoilers, even for your post-credit sequences, I'd look away now...
As I'm sure you know, Marvel likes to add little "stingers" to the end of their movies that tease the next movie coming out. IRON MAN 2 had the THOR hammer and THOR had the Cosmic Cube. And with CAPTAIN AMERICA coming out this Friday, you have...an AVENGERS teaser trailer!
The teaser, which will also be showing at the Marvel booth at Comic-Con this weekend, is below but honestly kind of hard to make out some of the time. But just seeing all those superhero heavy hitters in one brief little teaser is pretty awesome. Check it out below!

Holidays for me is usually a time of reflection and I realized there are a lot of things that bugs me. So what did I decide to do? Yup, write it all down.
Not sure what will make the cut, I just decided to write what came to mind. Excuse the rant that may ensue, I think it is time for someone to call out these offenders on their bad behavior.
1. Loud music blaring from a car: You're walking down the street minding your business and there he goes, riding down slow with Juicy J hit song on full blast. His base system sounds as if it's about to explode and there he is, acting as if his ears aren't ringing. Stupidity. Not only has he caught the attention of everyone but now he's driving slow…ughh go somewhere. It is NOT cool and you have a backward mentality…just saying.
2. Attention Seekers: There is always that one girl or guy who has to be the center of attention. It doesn't matter what's going on, they want you and the room to know that they are the more important there. If it is a small group, you'll find them dominating the conversation. Somehow they don't know how to keep quiet and have a seat…
3. Passive aggressive Behavior: This really grinds my gear. I guess because I am blunt and honest with how I feel about something or someone. Why does this behavior bother? Because it does not address the issue at hand. However, it just skims the subject while avoiding confrontation. I get it, I truly do…who wants to get into an argument? No one. Well avoiding and dancing around an issue won't help either. Feelings that are left to fester will grow into something more and a minor issue is now causing serious tension.
4. Indecisiveness: I may suffer from this at times but when it comes down to resolving an issue, there is no hesitation. When you or your feelings are in limbo, who the hell are you to keep someone else's feeling hostage? Some indecisive people love to blur lines because they will go far as that other person will allow. Sick.
5. Selfishness: Man, I can go on and on about this behavior. Smh. There are people out there that are interested solely on their needs. "How is this going to benefit me?" "What am I going to get out if this?" Yea….no bueno.
6. Loud Talkers on Public Transportation: Ughh…this right here!!! I hate getting on a bus or metro that is relatively quiet and then hearing boisterous noise heading towards me. Where the hell are my headphones?? It is worse when the person is of color. Now, the stereotypes come up and sadly they check all the boxes. Not only is this uncomfortable but now I'm getting judged by someone's lack of judgement or home training.
7. Commercials That Target Black Consumers: Why is someone either dancing, rapping or sounding like homegirl around the way??? We don't all shuck and jive to a beat and we don't all aspire to be rappers. Also, I don't speak to my girl friends like Bonqueshia from some project in Chicago (no shade to anyone from there). These stereotypes are old and tiring. Who are in charge of creating these ads and are there black people in the room when the creative process is happening? Yes, African-American people have a huge spending power but don't ridicule me and expect to purchase your good. No, I don't twist my neck, I don't say "hey girlfriend"!! and my concerns don't entail getting my edges laid or shaking my behind on the dance floor. Try again.
8. Nicki Minaj: No explanation needed. I prefer Azealia Banks.
9. Playing Games: Regardless of gender that is one thing I can't stand. If you play games you are weak sauce! I no longer have the patience or the f–ks in the world to care. If you are about playing games, here is my imaginary door-please see yourself out.
10. Users: "You weren't with me shooting in the gym." I laughed at this statement but the truth can't be dismissed. Have you had people in your life or know people who weren't there through your struggle or period od uncertainty and when you have 'arrived' they are your closest of friends. Shut that noise! No sir or ma'm…I don't know you and you don't know me.
11. Street Harassment: I am tired of it. I haven't witnessed so much of it until I came to DC. Ugh…please don't grab me or yell, hoot, whistle or anything that is going to piss me off. Just today I had a guy walk me for two blocks awkwardly as he began to "spit game".
12. Bigotry/Racism: Nothing left to say about this.
What are some things that YOU don't like?!

Sierra Ventures, Storm Ventures, Dell Technologies Capital and others took part in the round. RedLock's Cloud 360 platform is designed to help clients manage security and compliance risks across their public cloud infrastructure, without impeding DevOps. The platform automatically discovers workloads within an environment and enables continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, cloud forensics, adaptive response and compliance reporting. The company said its technology varies greatly from traditional security tools, which often are geared towards largely static on-premise environments rather than cloud environments. RedLock was a finalist for "Most Innovative Startup" at RSA 2017 in San Francisco.http://www.redlock.io http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/redlock-launches-with-comprehensive-cloud-infrastructure-security-offering-300453849.html _____________________________________________ o San Francisco-Based Ebates Names New CEO and COO San Francisco -- Ebates, the San Francisco-based developer of an online shopping service providing members with cash back on purchases, on Friday named Amit Patel, its general manager, as its new CEO.

Under the order, the heads of each federal agency will become responsible for managing cybersecurity risk, utilizing a framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. "The trend is going in the wrong direction in cyberspace, and it's time to stop that trend and reverse it on behalf of the American people," said Tom Bossert, the White House's homeland security adviser. "We have seen increasing attacks from allies, adversaries, primarily nation-states, but also non-nation-state actors, and sitting by and doing nothing is no longer an option."

The study, one of the largest of the information security profession ever conducted, included responses from more than 19,600 information security professionals. Respondents said that several initiatives could help attract and retain top talent, including offering training programs, paying for professional cybersecurity certifications, boosting compensation and providing more flexible and remote work schedules. The study also suggested that the government must recruit more heavily from untapped talent pools, focusing on women, minorities, veterans and older workers. "It's crystal clear that the government must enhance its benefits offering to attract future hires and retain existing personnel given its fierce competition with the private sector for skilled workers and the unprecedented demand," said Dan Waddell, (ISC)2's managing director of North America. "Unfortunately, the layers of complexity involved in fulfilling that goal are significant."

It's a been a while, I know. This week I just had to get this done because there's so much interesting stuff out there. And better yet, I've just finished two major projects, and am back in the Imperial Labs working on Windows XP stuff. Yummy.

I'm building page kits for our May Challenge over at 2 Peas Refugee; where you set your own goals and work on what interests you. We are there to encourage one another. Also, anyone can post a prompt or challenge that we can use as inspiration, but you don't have to use those either. We like to make things user friendly. I love things like this SOO much. Like Calvinball at Get It Scrapped, where you are just encouraged to make your own things. I'm pulling more photos to print when I sit at my desk and have the journaling typed up on a word document for the photos with the photo dates on it. Then when I print, I can cut the journaling apart and place it with the photos. I'll know the photo dates as well. For those photos that are already printed, I'm putting pictures with papers and tossing them in bag and adding any memorabilia.
This is my desk. It has been for both Monday and Tuesday.
Here's what's finished so far.
Above is Christmas papers and embellishments with 2 different years: 2012 (as I already did a couple of layouts for that year) and 2011 photos printed out. I did 2014 in digital format. I think other years will all be digital format as well.
Above is various other topics. Some are more lengthy subjects that will get pocket pages. So I'd like I've pulled those pocket pages too, and I'll probably use my fuse tool as well.
That's it for me. Hoping for a sunny and warm day to go play after the doctor visit.

April – June 2016
tips & hints
The seasonal information contained on this page is offered to help you live your daily life with spiritual awareness, calm and ease. The Power days impact your Being/soul (often, strong physical events occur in the following days). The Rune and Tarot cards help you to view what is happening with perspective – as do the wisdom quotes, gathered from all sorts of philosophers and wise Beings. The Mudra helps you to create a physical and mental state in which the energies of the month can be used by you with Power. This information is obtained psychically by Kathy.
Previous seasons' information is available on the Newsletter sub-menu
Power Days
April: 9th – 11th, 14th – 16th, 20th – 22nd, 25th – 27th, 30th
Note: Tax day is April 18th this year. Since the 14th – 16th are very high energy days (which impact the following days as well), it's wise to be safe and get your taxes in before then.

Spring Season Rune
The Rune for the Spring season is Uruz (Strength), upright "Events occurring now may well prompt you to undergo a death within yourself. Since self-change is never coerced – we are always free to resist – remain mindful that the new form, the new life, is always greater than the old. . . . Now, in some way, (a) bond is being severed, a relationship radically changed, a death experienced. Seek among the ashes and discover a new perspective and a new birth. . . . Firm principles attach to this Rune, and at the same time humility is called for, since in order to rule you must learn how to serve. This Rune puts you on notice that your soul and the universe support the new growth."
Spring Season Tarot
The Tarot card for the Spring is The Chariot, reversed. ". . . restlessness and desire for change." Followed by The Knight of Swords, upright. "The coming or going of misfortune."
Akash Mudra
The Akash Mudra helps to "center" your energies. It nourishes any part of your body that is lacking.
Hand position
Thumb and middle finger are joined. Index, ring, and pinky fingers are extended.
Hold the position (with both hands) for at least a couple of minutes
Spring Season Wisdom
You are unrepeatable. There is a magic about you that is all your own. ~ D.M. Dellinger
Life is playfulness…We need to play so that we can rediscover the magic all around us. ~ Flora Colao
The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it. ~ J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

I am a great admirer of mystery and magic. Look at this life – all mystery and magic. ~ Harry Houdini
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. ~ Roald Dahl
I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don't want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic. ~ Charles de Lint
Dance is one of the most powerful forms of magical ritual… It is an outer expression of the inner spirit. ~ Ted Andrews
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper. ~ William Butler Yeats
Magical places are always beautiful and deserve to be contemplated … Always stay on the bridge between the invisible and the visible. ~ Paulo Coelho
In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen. ~ William S. Burroughs
Simply be who you are, do what you do best, be where you are called by joy, and let life work its magic on your behalf. ~ Alan Cohen
That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you. ~ Charles de Lint

In the forest outside Konoha, four ninja lay wasted on the ground while the Masked ninja stand around them, Itachi is unconscious from his battle with the Fourth.
Masked Guy: Minato, you just don't know when to quit, he keeps sending these bugs to bite me but all they are good for is to get squashed.
Zetsu forms out of a tree!
Dark Zetsu: So you survived, Madara?
White Zetsu: And I see the Fourth is still sending ninja to track you down, he really wants your head on a platter.
Madara: Yeah, replenish Itachi's chakra and take him to Pein, it's time he meets his new team.
White Zetsu: So Itachi managed to defeat Uchiha?
Madara: Let's just say the plan is moving along nicely, once Pein has finished forming Akatsuki the real fun can begin.
Itachi awakens after Zetsu replenished his chakra.
Itachi: Madara? What happened?
Madara: You passed out from exhaustion, so I teleported us to safety. The fourth did a number on you, looks like you aren't quite ready to handle someone like him.
Itachi: Once I've completely master all three eye techniques, no one will be able to stop me.
Dark Zetsu: Maybe we should get rid of the Fourth now, if we wait he'll continue on disrupting our plans.
Madara: I'll send someone to take care of him later, right now it's time we move on in our plans.
Back in Konoha, The Hokages, the council and Danzo are in a secret room underground!
Hiruzen: Because of you three, Itachi killed his entire family and Sasuke is lying in a hospital bed an orphan.
Minato: You've also managed to aid this unknown shinobi in whatever plan he has in store for Konoha all because you took it upon yourselves to end the Uchiha.
Danzo: I stand by my decision and do not regret it, as a ninja you should know peace comes with sacrifice.
Minato: That's your version of peace, Danzo! Not only have you aided in the extermination of Uchiha you are certainly leaking information on our village to Orochimaru.
Danzo: I've done no such thing, you have no proof.
Minato: We are about to find out. Ibiki! Inoichi!
Ibiki and Inoichi walks in slowly towards Danzo.
Minato: If anyone can find out what you are up to they can.
Ibiki and Inoichi both try entering his mind but they are both unable to do so.
Inoichi: No way, he has sealed away all his memories and the amount of traps are amazing, not even I can get through.
Hiruzen: WHAT?! Danzo what are you hiding?!
Minato: I should kill you for what you've done.
Danzo: What would the villagers think of you if you murder the very man that is trying to protect them? Your easy going ways are going to get Konoha crushed!
Minato: Yeah, what would you they think if they found out what you did to Uchiha? As long as I am Hokage I will protect Konoha as the Fouth Hokage and will guide my son and the Next generation into power, as long as you continue on this road you will never be entrusted with the generations to come.
Danzo: And I will do what you refuse to do, what must be done in the interest of Konoha.
Inside a secret location Madara talks to a figure with strange eyes named Pein.
Pein: So you want me to take down the Fourth Hokage?
Madara: It's a troublesome idea but you're the only one besides me that can get inside the Leaf undetected and also there is something I want that would make our hunt for the Tailed Beast much easier.
Pein: Me against the Fourth Hokage, ought to be an interesting battle.
Madara: Don't get too excited it isn't the right time, I want you to strike when the time is right.
Konan: Taking down the Fourth would be no problem for Pein.
Pein: He's standing in the way of peace, so I have no choice than to get him out-of-the-way.
In the Hokages office they sit with Jiraiya!
Jiraiya: Damn it! I always knew Danzo was reckless, but to go this far!
Hiruzen: Apparently, the Feudal Lords supports Danzo on this one.
Jiraiya: Are you saying he agrees with agree with him?!
Hiruzen: Yes, The Feudal Lords support this because Uchiha is no longer a threat to the Fire Country but we can't waste time on him now, with a threat out there this powerful against Konoha we have to find out who this mystery guy is.
Minato: I figured some things out… Did you noticed how skilled Itachi was at these eye techniques? He's strong for his age but to acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan and to be able to master these techniques to such a level is crazy even for him. The Mangekyou Sharingan hasn't been seen in the Uchiha clan not since Kagami and even then he wasn't able to use Susanoo, Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi. It's been generations since someone has been born in the Uchiha clan with a kekkai genkai so strong that they can use these doujutsu.
Jiraiya: Kagami only managed to use Izanagi which sealed away both his Sharingan eyes and resulted in his death.
Hiruzen: It's true that Uchihas skills has decreased a little in these times of peace but what are you saying?
Minato: I'm wondering where Itachi learned these techniques and how he obtained this much power? This masked guy is the only one I can think of that could have provided this kind of power, he is a Sharingan user, Space/Time ninjutsu user, able to control the Kyuubi. If he also knows the secrets of the Sharingan and their doujutsu than this guy has to be Madara Uchiha, which means he is the one who taught Itachi the power of the Mangekyou. Which also means he's been entering in and out of the village for years undetected.
Jiraiya: You got all that from fighting Itachi, seems like you haven't lost your edge. Okay, I only have one question, how can this possibly be Madara if he was killed by the Shodai Hokage and if he did survived he would have to be unbelievably old.
Minato: We all know there are many things undiscovered in the shinobi world, jutsu that we can't even begin to understand and if anyone would be able to find the key to immortality it would be Madara Uchiha.
Hiruzen: If so then what is he after?
Minato: ( Flashing back to his last fight with Madara during the Kyuubi attack) He claims he is after control over the entire Shinobi world to bring piece and he needs the Kyuubi to do it.
Jiraiya: You think he'll be back?
Minato: Oh, he'll be back for the Kyuubi and we'll be ready ( Thinking of Naruto )
Inside Danzo's base he sits and talks with his underlings.
Danzo: The Uchiha massacre went on nicely, every member have been wiped out.
Root nin: What about Sasuke Uchiha? He was the only survivor!
Danzo: ( Flashes back to Itachi threatening him not to go near Sasuke ) He's no threat to me now, but we'll have to move further under the radar, the Hokages found out that I played a hand in Uchihas downfall so we have to be careful.
Root nin: Who's our next target?
Danzo: I want to be ready once the Kyuubi comes back into play but in order for me to gain control over the Kyuubi, it's time to find Orochimaru.
Inside a cabin in the Sound village Akatsuki stand waiting on their leader
Orochimaru: I wonder who our new member is.
Kakuzu: It better not be someone who talks too much, I hate ninja who talk too much.
Hidan: Looks who's talking idiot.
Kakuzu: What was that? If you weren't immortal I would've kill you by now. I hate having you as my partner!
Sasori: Maybe you wouldn't if you would have stop killing all the others.
Kisame: (Laughing) We would have an army by now if Kakuzu hadn't killed ever new teammate we got.
Pein: I don't think we'll have to worry about that anymore.
Kakuzu: Hmph?
Pein: Akatsuki, welcome your new teammate, Itachi Uchiha.
Orochimaru: Itachi!
Back in Konoha the entire village is at a memorial for the Uchiha clan. Sasuke is in the very front on his knees with his head in between his legs crying at the Uchiha crest monument. The Third and Fourth Hokage both walk and kneel behind him placing their hand on both his shoulders as everyone watches on intensely while clouds fill the sky!
After the memorial the two Hokages meet up
Minato: What's to become of him now? He's full of sadness and hatred, I hate to think he'll be alone.
Hiruzen: He'll be graduating from the academy soon and I've arranged for him to be on Kakashi's squad if anyone knows what it's like to lose someone it's Kakashi, besides Kakashi volunteered to take him on as his student.
Minato: Naruto will also be on that squad, hopefully they will become great friends.
Hiruzen: I hope so, he's going to need all the friends he can to get him through this.
Back with the Akatsuki, Pein has paired Itachi up with Orochimaru!
Orochimaru: Who would have thought we would once again be fighting on the same side?
Itachi: We have never fought on the same side Orochimaru, you have always fought for yourself.
Orochimaru: You have no room to stand on higher moral ground after what you've done.
Itachi activates his Sharingan everyone is shocked at Itachi's murderous intent!
Itachi: Hmph, now that I think of it you've always wanted my Sharingan haven't you, Orochimaru. Come, take them, I'm begging you. If we are going to continue on as a team then you better try staying on my good side, I killed every single member of my clan at my whim, killing you would be no problem.
Kisame: I like this guy.
Itachi turns around and walks away as the rest of Akatsuki disperses Orochimaru is left to sweat.
Orochimaru: The power in those eyes, I must have them!
Suddenly two Root ninja appears behind him!
Root Nin: Orochimaru, we have a message from Danzo.
Orochimaru: The old man managed to track me down, it would have been troublesome if Akatsuki found out you were here. ( Thinking) Seeing Itachi has made me realize, I no longer need Akatsuki, they are moving too slow for me, it's time I move on my own. ( Talking to the Root ninja ) Send this message to Danzo, infact-
Orochimaru turns around and informs the Root ninja he'll tell Danzo himself and forms hand signs creating a huge burst of wind chakra, killing them both splattering their blood on the walls! As Itachi is walking away Orochimaru comes behind him and attack with a snake but Itachi grabs it and crushes it with his bare hands. Orochimaru spits his Kusunagi sword out of his mouth and stabs itachi through the chest, believing hes won, Orochimaru goes to take his eyes but Itachi disperses in a flock of crows. Itachi appears behind him and stabs him through the chest with his katana sword, Orochimaru starts to cough up blood.
Itachi: Ninja like you just don't know when you can't win, well, I'll have to show you.
Orochimaru suddenly throws up a new body and falls back as the other body disintegrates, Itachi tries to dashes at Orochimaru but falls to his knees paralyzed.
Orochimaru: Gotcha, that body that dissolved spewed poison from every pore which you inhaled, now your wonderful Uchiha body is no longer a threat!
Orochimaru forms hand signs and summons a snake and wraps it around Itachi.
Orochimaru: You eyes are mine!
In an instant Itachi explodes destroying the snake injuring Orochimaru, Orochimaru stands from the debris with blood pouring from his mouth as Itachi emerges from the smoke with out a scratch on him.
Orochimaru: That was a shadow clone?!
Itachi: Orochimaru, Before these eyes your jutsu are completely useless.
Orochimaru slaps his hands together!
Orochimaru: We'll see about that, Summoning Jutsu: Edo Tensei!
A coffin rips from the ground and opens and Itachi's best friend walks out glaring at Itachi.
Itachi: Shisui Uchiha!
Shisui: It's been a while Itachi. ( Shisui closes his eyes and remembers Itachi stabbing him through the chest with a sword and falling into a river drowning )
Shisui dashes at Itachi, Itachi quickly forms hand signs, Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu, a huge fire-ball thrusts at Shisui but he flips to the side and Itachi uses Fire style: Phoenix Flower jutsu forcing Shisui to use Doriyoku to dogde all attacks.
Orochimaru: Doriyoku, Shisui used that attack on the Fourth Hokage once, come to think of it he's the only ninja able to touch him. It uses a huge amount of chakra but then again for Shisui that's no problem.
Shisui throws a volley of Shuriken encased with wind chakra and forms hand signs Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu the flames ignites the shuriken and expands them into giant wind/fire shurikens. The shurikens almost hits Itachi but he jumps up and dodges them but while he's in the air Shisui covers his blade with fire and slashes at Itachi sending waves of fire at him in mid-air as the fire/wind shurikens hits the ground causing shockwaves. Itachi forms hand signs and summons a giant crow which takes the hit from Shisui's fire blade attack, Itachi jumps off the crow and forms more hand signs, Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu. The Water slams on top of Shisui but Orochimaru used this to distract Itachi while he attacks him from behind with a giant snake, the snake tries to eat Itachi but he summons Susanoo and uses his chakra blade to kill the Snake, Orochimaru flips off the snake and summons a giant Rashumon Gate which also slams into Susanoo.
While this is happening Shisui uses his Doriyoku to attack him from behind but Itachi makes Susanoo complete sending a shockwave blasting them both back and destroying the Rashumon Gate!
Itachi: I see he survived my water attack by using Yata's Mirror. Shisui's power hasn't changed one bit, he's still able to use Doriyoku and Yata's mirror like it's nothing, normal shinobi would be exhausted from the huge amount of chakra these techniques consume.
Shisui activates his Sharingan and forms hand signs, Water Style: Dark Water ( Shi=Death sui= Water), a pool of black water pulls Itachi down under. Itachi struggles to get out but Shisui's Sharingan eyes appear under water forcing even Itachi to tremble catching Itachi in his illusion, suddenly Itachi brings down susanoo.
Orochimaru: Shisui Uchihas Death Water technique used to trap his opponent under his control, now that he has Itachi it time to get those Sharingans!
Itachi: ( Struggling to break from Shisui's control ) Yata's Mirror, Doriyoku and now this. You even have control over three elemental chakras, clearly you are a true heir to the Sharingan capable of awakening the Mangekyou.
Orochimaru walks towards Itachi with a kunai intending to cut out his Sharingan when out of no where Kisame stabs him through the chest with Samehada. The battle is shown inside Itachi's mind, Shisui is showing Itachi how he killed him. Itachi is wrapped in a web of chains.
Shisui: You betrayed me, in order to feed your own hunger for power.
Itachi: I did it to bring peace to Konoha.
Shisui: You chose Senju over your own family, you pathetic excuse for an Uchiha!
Itachi thinks of the Massacre and what he did to Sasuke and with blood tears in both of his eyes activates his Mangekyou Sharingan in anger and over powers Shisui's Sharingan breaking his control and shattering his illusionary world.
Itachi: You are truly strong but unlike me you were afraid to go after true power and too weak-willed to look at the bigger picture, bounded by love and bonds. I used my power to gain the Mangekyou, you only lived inside the box Uchiha built for you, I lived for something greater, to be a stepping stone that would revolutionize the entire shinobi world.
Kisame: So you're finally awake, the boss sent me to help, he had a feeling you two were killing each other.
Kisame rips Samehada from Orochimaru and jumps out-of-the-way as Itachi unleashes a giant wave of Amaterasu destroying Shisui's body and slamming it towards Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: My chakra is almost gone, but how?!
Kisame: You should thank Samehada for that. (Laughing) I would turn around if I were you.
Amaterasu crashes into Orochimaru, Itachi falls to his knees panting!
Kisame: That Amaterasu is unbelievable but it looks like you've used to much chakra, let's get you fixed up.
Orochimaru burst from the ground with his Kusunagi sword in hit mouth with bruises and cuts all over him! ( Flashback shows Orochimaru using his replacement technique to avoid the black flames ) Itachi pushes himself to his absolute limit and uses Tsukuyomi catching him in mid-air paralyzing his body, Itachi stand up and walks up to him and cuts off his hand with a Kunai. Grabbing his eye in pain, Itachi mistakenly releases Tsukuyomi allowing the beaten and half paralyzed Orochimaru the chance to escape.
Kisame: Damn it, I wanted that snake dead!
Itachi: (Panting) Give it time. ( Itachi falls unconscious )
Kisame: And by the way, I'm your new teammate.
Back in Konoha Minato and Naruto are on the training field.
Minato: Alright Naruto, show me what you got.
Naruto: Finally I'll show you what a great ninja I am!
Naruto takes off his leg and arm weights and dashes at Minato, Minato moves to the side and Naruto crashes into a wall.
Minato: Looks like were going to have to work on that one.

It could be argued that we live in the golden age of basketball writers. The downside is that with every Woj bomb and Lee Jenkins profile, many great basketball books get pushed further into the background. Summer is the time to resurrect them. The long NBA season is done and, besides, there are only so many movies featuring robots and capes a human being can tolerate.
Here is another list of gems—some recent, some from further back—to get you started until the fall rolls around. And if you forgot what was discussed last year, you can catch up here.
When the Game Was Ours (2009) by Larry Bird and Magic Johnson with Jackie MacMullan
Did the recent 30 for 30 on the Celtics-Lakers rivalry of the 1980s stoke your interest in that glorious time of short-shorts and hate-filled grown men pounding each other like veal cutlets? Were you a fan of the NBA revival that took place during the decade that centered around the megawatt-smiling, flashy and full-of-panache Magic Johnson and the blue-collar, everyman brilliance of Larry Bird? Well, enjoy the account of that era from the two rivals themselves—with an assist from MacMullan, a wonderful writer who interviews scores of other sources to create a full-bodied look at a bygone era.
Also recommended: John Taylor's The Rivalry, about Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, two other titans who defined the Celtics-Lakers face-offs in the late 1960s.
The Arena: Inside the Tailgating, Ticket Scalping, Mascot-Racing, Dubiously Funded and Possibly Haunted Monuments of American Sport (2017) by Rafi Kohan
When this goes on sale in early August, read it for Kohan's vividly reported and fun account of the inner workings of these fields of taxpayer-subsidized dreams—from the guys on the grounds crews to how the concessions stands operate. Why am I recommending this for basketball fans? Because Kohan memorably profiles the Amazing Sladek, and assists in his chair-stacking routine. The endeavor comes all too close to disaster.
Also recommended: For a look at another behemoth we take for granted: Those Guys Have all the Fun, Tom Shales and Andrew James Miller's sprawling oral history of ESPN.
In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle (1995) by Madeliene Blais
Blais follows a powerhouse girls' high school basketball team in Amherst, Mass., for a season and delivers a nuanced, engaging piece on how teenage girls live. The author's empathy and curiosity for her subjects turns this into a nonfiction masterpiece. Blais peels back the layers, revealing the young souls who are part-time hardwood gods. A book this slim should not possess this much impact.
Also recommended: The Assist: Hoops, Hope, and the Game of Their Lives, by Neil Swidey, about a boys' high school basketball team in Boston.
The Complete Handbook of Pro Basketball, edited by Zander Hollander—various years
I grew up with these books in the 1990s, even reading one or two until the spine split. While the production might be dated, the writing is sassy and succinct; even in the age of Twitter it holds up. I've written about these books and the man, Zander Hollander, who created them. The cracked spines of these short, thick paperbacks call to me. It is a rush to see write-ups of legends as if they're playing now: Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Clyde Frazier. It's a hoot to see Pat Riley and George Karl, who most of us know as firmly middle-aged adults, smiley and spry. These books are a far less expensive, endlessly entertaining version of time traveling and a tactile reminder that the NBA has a past.
Also recommended: These are truly one of a kind, but for a taste of what the NBA was in the halcyon days when newspapers held sway and games were just starting to become entertainment, check out Cameron Stauth's The Franchise, about the Detroit Pistons' ascension in the 1980s. It is outstanding.
Not a Game: The Incredible Rise and Unthinkable Fall of Allen Iverson (2015) by Kent Babb
Babb, the terrific sports feature writer for The Washington Post, paints Iverson as more than just a series of pretty moves or the forever gritty competitor. Babb thrusts us into the man's soul—flaws and all. It's not always pretty, but it makes for a fascinating read. And the book's reporting caused Stephen A. Smith to lose his mind on national television, which is as lofty an honor as the Pulitzer Prize, I think.
Also recommended: Brook Larner's Operation Yao Ming, about the creation—literally—of another superstar from that era.
The Reappearing Act: Coming Out as Gay on a College Basketball Team Led by Born-Again Christians (2014) by Kate Fagan
Before she got absorbed into ESPN's multi-hyphen universe, Fagan played basketball for the University of Colorado, where she finally realized that she was a lesbian—but not before trying to run away from it. The memoir is a heartfelt, inspiring coming-of-age story about a young woman finding herself outside the constraints of a team.
Also recommended: Can I Keep My Jersey?: 11 Teams, 5 Countries, and 4 Years in My Life as a Basketball Vagabond, by Paul Shirley, which shows the distinct lack of glamour in being a tenuously employed professional basketball player.
Tall Tales: The Glory Years of the NBA, in the Words of the Men Who Played, Coached, and Built Pro Basketball (1992) by Terry Pluto
I fear Pluto's obituary will begin and end with Loose Balls, which is easily a top-five basketball book. But Pluto wrote another terrific oral history that barely anyone mentions. Tall Tales covers the NBA's early days—from the beginning to Bill Russell retiring—and it's a revelation to hear contemporaries talk extensively about Dolph Schayes, George Yardley and Elgin Baylor. They come to life, as does the realization that the NBA has come a long way from its meager beginnings. Another overlooked fact: It's a testament to Pluto's skill as a reporter that he can elicit these meaty gems from athletes—who are not always the most forthcoming folks. (Beat reporters nod their head furiously in agreement.)
Also recommended: Adam J. Criblez's Tall Tales and Short Shorts: Dr. J, Pistol Pete, & the Birth of the Modern NBA, a colorful year-by-year recap of the NBA from 1970 to 1979.
Return of the King: LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Greatest Comeback in NBA History
(2017) by Dave McMenamin and Brian Windhorst
With the firing of general manager David Griffin, the Cavaliers' 2016 triumph in the Finals threatens to become as distant as the first Thanksgiving. Thankfully, McMenamin and Windhorst chronicle how the Cavs reached the summit, giving a city a sliver of rare sports happiness. What emerges in this informative and breezy account is the value of Tyronn Lue, a coach who was unafraid to demand more of LeBron James. Who said the NBA was a players' league?
Also recommended: The Whore of Akron, where Cleveland native and former Esquire writer Scott Raab rage watches James's first season with the Miami Heat.
Our final recommendation comes from one of the authors on this list: Kent Babb.
Basketball's Game Changers: Icons, Record Breakers, Rivalries, Scandals, and More (2017) by Brendan Prunty
It's kind of exactly what a summer read should be: It's quick, it's informative, it's breezy. Brendan has a really nice mix of thoughtful, exhaustive reporting and an easygoing writing style—from topics as heavy as Magic Johnson's HIV diagnosis and as light as "Air Jordans"–that have produced a super-satisfying book you can plow through in a day or two at the lake, or come back to morning after morning with a coffee (or bloody Mary) in your hand.

Flock, Firefox replacement?
I've been using flock over the past few days and I just have to say, there's something here.
So what is Flock?…
Flock is the new web browser for the new web. Namely web 2.0. It is a browser based heavily, seriously heavily, on firefox. It has extensions, tabs (but who doesn't), toolbar bookmarking, and themes and so on.
So why will it become my default browser?…
A number of reasons. One big one being that it's a fantastic distraction from my java project. Another being that it has a completely integrated social networking system.
Why is this important? …
Well first off, I'm writing this entry on the blog post feature in flock. If I wanted to I can be logged into my facebook,wordpress, (and if i had them), twitter, flicker, and del.icio.us. Think about it! Think of how many clicks that saves. Whole seconds!
But in all fairness in the time of open ids, multiply online identities, and just plain madness, its nice/brilliant/major distraction (I really have to get back to my java) to have such integration into your web browser, and paves the way for some serious GTD/productive tools.
Will it last?…
Short answer no with a maybe. Long answer absolutely with a depends.
One argument that could be taking against flock is that it depends on the whole social network "fad". And this is shoot out of the water before it had a chance to get in it. Flock as a program can be craved out and served again. But not like a left over meal. As the links change so can Flock. The other reason for failure: crucial mass. Simple fact of the web. I also don't think it'll be a niche either. Like I said there is definite room for GTD tools. So it won't just be social web junkies.
Final word?…
Flock is excellent. It fulls me with hope. Hope of an accessible universe, especially since facebook added a delete all apps feature!
DISCLAIMER: I'm new to blogging. If you found any of this lacking in ability feedback will be appreciated i.e. if it was shit give me a shout.

Researchers have found the genetic cause of a blood-vessel disorder that can cause deadly bleeds and stroke. Scientists at University College London Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) who led the study, called it an "enormous step" towards understanding and treating arteriovenous malformation (AVM). And they now believe targeted cancer drugs may be able to treat it...More information and a brief video at the BBC source. The JCI is an absolutely top-notch peer-reviewed journal for cutting-edge basic medical science; the referenced article is here.
Teams in London, Edinburgh and Cambridge, collaborated on the research, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. The researchers took biopsies from 160 children with blood vessel disorders including AVMs and sequenced the DNA in the affected tissue. They found four faulty genes that could trigger the condition, all involved in the signalling pathway between cell surface receptors and the nucleus. The same gene mutations are also involved in the growth of many cancers.
There are several licensed cancer drugs that target the faulty RAS-MAPK pathway. The discovery means doctors now have the potential to treat AVMs with cancer drugs.
Here is the link for the Butterfly AVM Charity.

Lots of flavor in this soup. Red lentils thicken it – they pop when they cook and provide texture. Sounds weird, I know, but it's good – really.
These proportions make a big pot of soup. But won't you be happy at lunchtime tomorrow?
Curried Carrot Soup, adapted from Naturally Ella
- olive oil
- 1/2 of an onion
- chives or green onions
- 8 carrots
- 1 c. red lentils
- 3 t. curry powder
- 2 t. fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 t. chile powder
- salt
- 6 c. veggie or chicken broth
- 1 c. coconut milk
First, my idiosyncracies – I loathe grating fresh ginger so I buy grated ginger in a jar. I get it at Whole Foods because some brands have sugar added. Next, I made this with chicken broth because I buy it in bulk at Costco so it's always on hand. Finally, I admit that I added the whole can of coconut milk. That definitely exceeds what the recipe called for, but it was good. So if you're wondering what you're going to do with half a can of coconut milk and your hand slips and the whole can "accidentally" ends up in the soup, oh well. A little creamier soup never hurt anyone.
1) Peel and slice carrots. Chop onion.
2) Heat a little olive oil in a stock pan and add carrots and onions. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables soften.
3) Add the chives or green onions, lentils, curry powder, ginger, chile powder, and a little salt and stir for a minute or so.
4) Add broth, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
5) Puree with an immersion blender (or in the blender).
6) Add coconut milk and salt to taste.

Norwich City welcome West Bromwich Albion to Carrow Road in their first home game of the season. Both sides are looking for their first three points of the campaign having each picked up a draw. Norwich opened the season with a draw whilst Albion played an extra fixture in midweek, which is where they secured their solitary point following defeat in their season opener.
Norwich City vs West Brom
Norwich City
After a disappointing last season, manager Daniel Farke is already under pressure to produce results. The Canaries came from behind twice at St Andrew's to earn an opening 2-2 draw against Birmingham last weekend.
Striker Onel Hernandez scored twice in the last ten minutes to ensure that Norwich came home with a point, although they will feel it should've been more from a matchup they arguably dominated, having 70% possession of the ball and 17 shots on goal.
Farke will be pleased with his team's creativity in front of goal, as well as the performance of goalkeeper Tim Krul who, despite conceding two goals, made several important saves. However, conceding two goals is never a positive sign, and it will raise concerns about Norwich's defensive capabilities, particularly after they conceded 60 goals last season.
West Bromwich Albion
Darren Moore will be desperate to get the first win of the season under his belt. West Brom have picked up just one point from their first two fixtures with their lacklustre performances being thrust into the spotlight. Although, there was a visible improvement towards the end of their midweek game against Nottingham Forest.
The Baggies played with an intensity that they had so far struggled to find in the last half hour against Forest, thanks in part to loanee Dwight Gayle's impact from the bench. The late leveller against Forest got Albion up and running and a win at Carrow Road will certainly help settle their early-season nerves.
Albion have kept hold of key players Craig Dawson, Jay Rodriguez and Nacer Chadli, a string of players that were heavily linked with moves away from the Hawthorns. Although, of the three, Rodriguez is the only player to feature for West Brom so far this season. Dawson and Chadli are proving to be a little more difficult to handle as they tried to force a move. West Brom's season will depend heavily on Moore's ability to get these players motivated and playing.
Team News
West Brom failed to bring in a right-back in the transfer window despite making the position top priority, so Moore will likely start with the same back four that featured against Forest. This means that Manchester City loanee Tosin Adarabioyo would keep his place at right back.
Predicted Line-ups
Norwich: Krul, Marshall, Hanley, Klose, Husband, Tettey, Pukki, Srbeny, Hernandez, Trybull, Rhodes.
West Brom: Johnstone, Adarabioyo, Bartley, Hegazi, Gibbs, Phillips, Brunt, Livermore, Barnes, Gayle, Rodriguez.
Darren Moore's side have struggled with the transition to Championship football. His side are still bedding in and will need more time to gel.

Powerlifting Belts
Below you will find a variety of weightlifting/powerlifting belts that vary in construction. The list is organized by types of belts and their primary uses. Alternatively, you may skip the breakdown if you feel your knowledge is up to par. If not please continue reading.
Lifting Belt 101
Nylon Weightlifting Belts
The first series of belts are the nylon/velcro belts. These belts yield the highest amount of mobility and the lowest amount of support. They typically aren't used in intense powerlifting applications but are often used in any sort of lift that requires a high level of athleticism and mobility. These belts are great for those who want to ensure high use of their core, rather than relying on the belt for the added support. Lastly due to their more simplistic design these belts provide the highest levels of comfort which will be appreciated the day after lifting, due to lack of soreness. More is NOT always better therefore, one should consider a thinner belt to ensure full abdominal recruitment.
Recommended Lifts: Metcon styled workout, olympic lifts, WOD's. Deadlift, back squat, front squat, overhead press and power clean.
Lever Powerlifting Belts
The belt shown above is the staple for the "lever belt" category. They nicknamed it the Inzer forever lever belt system, insinuating the mechanism will NEVER break. These belts are the epitome of connivence and not to mention quite satisfying IMO. The way the lever system works is you latch the hooks to the holes, and moments prior to your lift you engage the lever by pressing it down until it clicks. No more finding the perfect notch or fiddling with the prongs like on other belts. Just as easy as it's set a quick swipe and the belt is disengaged just as quick.
Recommended Lifts: Metcon styled workout, olympic lifts, WOD's. Deadlift, back squat, front squat, overhead press and power clean.
13mm Powerlifting Belts
The biggest baddest belt money can buy, the infamous 13mm powerlifting belt. Typically constructed from full top grain leather, this belt provides MAXIMUM support at the cost of mobility and comfort. In regards to thickness, 13mm is as thick as you can go and is recommended for the bigger guys. Although, anyone can benefit from the use of a thicker belt. This belt will by far have the largest break-in period, with persistent use you will noticed increased comfort. Single and double prong are amongst the most popular.
Recommended Lifts: By far the rear squat and front squat will be most applicable to this style of belt. Can also be used for deadlifts, shrugs, and overhead press.
10mm Powerlifting Belts
The standard best all around belt used for many if not all applications. 10mm belts are by far the most versatile of all. Offering support for moderate to heavy lifting as well as a bit more mobility and comfort when compared to the 13mm counter option.
Recommended Lifts: Metcon styled workout, olympic lifts, WOD's. Deadlift, back squat, front squat, overhead press and power clean.
Harbinger Weightlifting Belt
Color: Black | Material: Nylon | Thickness: N/A | Mechanism: Hook & Loop
Description: Harbinger's 5-Inch Foam Core Belt is for serious weightlifters needing back support. The Harbinger Foam Core weightlifting belt features an extra wide 5-inch closed cell foam belt with a 3-inch support strap overlay for maximum lower back and abdominal protection during heavy lifting. The flexible but lightweight foam core surrounded by abrasion-resistant nylon supports the back while maintaining muscle warmth.
The heavy gauge steel roller buckle makes tensioning easy, and the plush tricot lining is comfortable against the skin. Like all Harbinger products, the 5-Inch Foam Core Weightlifting Belt comes with a 90-day manufacturer's warranty. Harbinger 5-Inch Foam Core Weightlifting Belts are available in four sizes, each designed to fit a range of waist measurements. It is important to measure correctly when selecting a weightlifting belt; do not use pant size. Measure around the waist between the hips and the ribs, starting and stopping at the belly button. Small fits 24-29 inches, Medium fits 29-33 inches, Large fits 33-37 inches, and Extra-large fits 37-42 inches. Belts are designed to be worn tightly around the natural waist for support and stabilization.
Inzer Lever Belt
Color: Black | Material: Leather/Suede | Thickness: 10mm | Mechanism: Lever
Description: This is the last support belt you will ever need to buy. Simple to tighten and lock in place with the push of the patented lever, the 10mm Inzer Forever Belt is easily released in less than a second with another flick of the lever.
The belt conforms to your body over time and stays firmly supportive, and the patented lever technology can tighten three inches tighter than a buckle belt to add significant weight to your Squat, Deadlift, Clean & Jerk, and Press. The Inzer Forever Lever Belt is made from a single solid thickness of the finest leather and finished with top-quality suede to provide a non-slip surface, not cobbled together in layers like cheaper belts that will soon come apart.
Grip Power Pads Powerlifting Belt
Color: Tan | Material: Leather | Thickness: 13mm | Mechanism: Double Prong
Description: When you're serious about weightlifting, you need serious support to protect your back through every rep. The Grip Power Pads Double Prong Weightlifting Belt is the ultimate choice of lifting belt to keep your core engaged, your back supported and you focused on giving your workout your all. Intended for advanced weightlifters, the Grip Power Pads Weightlifting Belt is the ultimate lifting belt. Each one is made by hand, not on an assembly line, and we use only the finest quality 100 percent leather to produce our belts. Each belt is one of a kind and of artisan quality, ready to last through years of workouts.
The Grip Power Pads Weightlifting Belt is superior to other weight belts because it's: – THICKER. With two layers of leather, our belt is 13 millimeters thick, making it much stronger than the competition. – THE OPTIMAL WIDTH. The 4-inch width gives you just the right amount of coverage and support. – SOLID. Our belt weighs nearly 3.5 pounds because of its durable, strong leather design. – EASY TO FASTEN. Our lever buckle is simple to use and very secure. – ADJUSTABLE. Nine size holes let you customize the fit to suit your needs. – MORE STYLISH. The embossed logo and natural leather give our belt a handsome look.
Steel Sweat Weightlifting Belt
Color: Brown | Material: Leather | Thickness: 10mm | Mechanism: Single Prong
Description: One of the unique features of the Steel Sweat Lifting Belt is its vegetable tanned leather. Crafted from the all-natural cowboy method of tanning hides, the vegetable tanning process can take weeks to complete, in comparison to the mere hours of the modern sole tanning.
You'll love this belt because it is a firmer, more durable, water-resistant leather weight belt with a rich, natural brown tone. For you this means a nicer feeling belt that is strong and supportive, just as you would expect it to be so you can focus on your lifting in comfort. Our old school vegetable dying process you will love, because some traditional methods are way too cool to not keep alive. This gives you a premium quality looking and feeling belt that will last you longer and feel more comfortable.
Dark Iron Fitness Weight Belt
Color: Black/Red | Material: Leather | Thickness: 5mm | Mechanism: Double Prong
Description: If you're serious about lifting, you know a good weightlifting belt can help you draw more power out of your abs and lower back while reducing the risk of painful injury. That's why you should get it right the first time—with the Dark Iron Fitness Weightlifting Belt!
Unlike cheap belts made of fake leather, ours is made of top-quality cowhide that won't stretch out or tear under pressure. It also has a secure, heavy-duty buckle instead of plastic clips or Velcro closures that can break. This belt provides firm support for your body's core, giving you the leverage you need to lift heavier while reducing stress on your spine. And when it comes to comfort, this belt delivers. With its adjustable non-slip fit, you never have to worry about it coming loose mid-lift, riding up, or digging into your sides or hips. That means you can focus on upping your weightlifting game!
Iron Bull Strength Power Belt
Color: Black/Red | Material: Suede/Leather | Thickness: 10mm | Mechanism: Double Prong
Description: 10mm PowerLifting Belt for Maximum Performance. The new Iron Bull Strength's powerlifting belt has been carefully designed to maximize performance, durability, safety and comfort. The 10mm thickness provides the best support and comfort a power belt can offer. It conforms to your body stabilizing lumbar support that lets you take your power training to the next level. Add to this our double stitching construction and you get a solid, durable power belt.
Who Can Benefit From a Power Lifting Belt? Lifting belts increase intra-abdominal pressure. Increasing pressure to your core through our power belt will make you feel safer and increase core stability giving you much more power lifting heavy weights. If a lifter is squatting heavy or pulling big, a belt will increase performance on those lifts.

"You looked good out there."
stood up as Waylon neared. The guy was built like a brick shithouse, solid sinewy muscle, tight abs and firm ass. Waylon wasn't just Cal 's fantasy on two legs, but also his best friend, which made life complicated at best. There was no way he'd jeopardize their friendship by sharing his true feelings. Guys like Waylon were one hundred percent male, proud of the testosterone that flowed through their veins, and quick to judge any man with even an inkling of femininity. Cal
