We have moved into that time of year when everyone with ruminants has to rethink their feed inventory situation. Winter wasn't terribly kind to feed consumption and feed inventories. Holsteins don't eat like supermodels and they can't be sent to bed hungry or issued an IOU.
One Friday a nutritionist called me. He wondered if I had any hay for a client who needed it to have low potassium levels to feed to his non-lactating cows. The low potassium level prevents lots of metabolic problems for the cow right after birth. I had what he needed, so he stopped by to look at the hay. We discussed numbers and reached a mutually agreeable amount. There was one sticking point though. The new buyers really wanted the hay delivered. Their address was what scared me. It was a town I've been through several times . . . on my dune buggy . . . in Minnesota . . . usually as I think, "Geez, I should turn around now or I'll never make it home before dark!"
Not to worry, the nutritionist, told me, they're actually south of there. Don't be fooled by the address. It's not as bad as it sounds. Much closer to you than you think.
From now on, I really should start carrying a Bible with me so I can have my customer put his hand on it as he says, "No, it's not that far," or "It's right on the blacktop," as we talk about delivering hay.
To secure the supply, the buyers wanted to write a check immediately for the approximate total of the load. They would send it to me and then add another check once we got it weighed and knew the official total.
Money up front in the hay business and I don't have to do much for it! How cool is that? Cue the harp and picture me in my hammock as the checks float in from the heavens.
I decided to make the maiden voyage on Friday afternoon. My unit of choice was the pickup and a gooseneck with 10 bales on it. My end point would be near Bratsberg, Minnesota. The plan was to come in from the south on Highway 43, which runs north from Mabel. I knew a really handy shortcut to Mabel from the adventure when I was hauling bulk bins a couple years ago. Straight north from there and I'd be all set.
I have this theory on early settlers in this part of the world. They all built their roads starting from a southern point and then worked their way north as they laid out the routes. The crews would be incredibly industrious as they worked for days, building a mile or two each day. By Saturday night, they would thoroughly enjoy their time off. By Monday, sobriety had not always set in entirely the further north you went. That's when the roads got interesting.
Somewhere between 10 and 12 miles north of Mabel, the road turned from essentially the William Tell Turnpike into the Foster Brooks Parkway. MAN, did that pioneer road crew have a good weekend! It wasn't safe to take one hand off the wheel, but still I was able to take a couple of pictures of the signs. My favorite was one of those S-curve signs that recommends 35 mph speed limits for the next TWO MILES! That was soon followed by one with a picture of a semi going down a 45-degree incline. But, hey, it's not like I had a long vehicle with a heavy load on behind me for those kinds of conditions!
Thankfully, I got the first load of hay delivered. Before I left, I asked Gerald, the guy running the giant TeleHandler used to unload me, exactly where the blacktop went in the OTHER direction. He began to recite a couple town names that didn't ring any bells with me. Then he got to one that did. Canton! That had to be better than the white-knuckle Gopher Alps route I just finished. I told Gerald the rest of the hay would be delivered the next day.
When I got to the end of the gravel road and back to the blacktop, I went west into a brave new world. The road had shoulders and everything! It even had gradual curves that require no warning signs. The pioneers obviously had this baby all done by Thursday.
That first Friday load was fun, but Saturday called for a little something extra to keep it interesting. Math genius that I am, I put 10 bales on my truck on Friday. That left me 23 bales to haul on a semi, which is a full load. My pickup and gooseneck holds 11. But the Ranch Hand holds 12 if I put one on the bed!
Fun was calling. It has me on speed dial.
On my way toward the Plymouth Rock Church between Kendallville and Burr Oak, I was reminded of a story. That story was told to me almost every time my dad and I went trout fishing at nearby Coldwater Creek when I was a kid. There's this one huge hill west of the church, not far from where my dad grew up. My grandpa was a big guy. He used to go to the lumberyard in Ridgeway and get four quarter-mile rolls of barbed wire and carry them all at once, two in each hand, out to his truck. When some guy was giving him a ride home west of the church before the road was paved, they couldn't make the steep hill. They'd keep taking a run at it and not quite make it. Finally, Grandpa told the guy to stop when he couldn't go any further and let him out. He would wait for the guy to make another attempt and then push the car as soon as it ran out of steam. That finally got them to the top of the hill.
Now imagine going down that hill with a load of hay on behind being pulled by some green and yellow freakazoid machine! I hit 54 mph at the bottom of the hill. Grandpa would have been proud. Incidentally, he's in the cemetery over the next hill.
I finally reached the dairy, and Gerald and his TeleHandler unloaded the Ranch Hand. On my way home, as I made my way through metropolitan Henrytown at blazing speed and kept going south, I came up over a hill and saw quite the view. It was Amish gridlock! In the quarter-mile of road in front of me, there were five Amish buggies. Three were on my left and two were on my side of the road. All of them were pretty much on the shoulder, but still taking up a bit of both travel lanes. They were almost perfectly spaced apart in uniform distances. It wasn't Belgian-to-bumper traffic, but it was a bit more crowded than usual.
I got to thinking, How am I going to get from my hilltop to the next one while meeting and passing all these buggies? I could weave between them in some sort of Bode Miller Amish Slalom, or I could brush against them as I went past in sort of a Dick Weber Picks Up The Amish Seven-Ten Split.
Where are Jim McKay and Chris Economaki when you need them?
I was drunk with power from my diesel engine, so I unleashed my ponies and went the Bode Miller Amish Slalom route.
No horses were injured in the making of this story. However, as I went by, a couple of them lost some weight, most of which was in piles along the shoulder on my return trip with the third load.
It happens. Perhaps I could sell them the right type of hay to prevent that kind of thing. Delivery would be included, of course.

With the close of the regular legislative session in Florida on May 1, 2009, Senate Bill 2396 apparently died in committee. If enacted, the bill would have amended a section of Florida law to require "[a] thorough presentation and critical analysis of the scientific theory of evolution."
Answers in Genesis and Creation Ministries International have agreed to settle their legal dispute, issuing a joint statement reading, "Each ministry is now focused on its respective mission, having put this dispute behind them."
The appeal of Association of Christian Schools International et al. v. Roman Stearns et al. is wending its way through the appeals process, with the University of California system submitting its responsive brief, and a number of organizations submitting amicus curiae briefs, in April 2009.
The Institute for Creation Research Graduate School filed suit over the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's decision to deny the ICR's request for a state certificate of authority to offer a master's degree in science education.
Since the March 2009 decision of the Texas state board of education to adopt a set of flawed state science standards, media coverage has increasingly emphasized the possible consequences.

Free Money And Loans
In early summer of 2015 the Wall Street Journal and others reported that the home ownership rate in the U.S. had hit a 48-year low. And the reported home ownership rate – not seasonally adjusted – of a little over 63% is the lowest homeownership rate in this country since 1967 – almost 50 years ago! What's up? Economists fear it could mean incomes are not keeping pace with the increase in home prices. So young people are having a harder time buying their first home. It may also be that some people are still recovering from the collapse in home values and resulting foreclosures. We would suggest that many people may be unaware of the deals and programs out there for homebuyers.
The government loves to encourage home ownership. There s plenty of news and promises about Government Grants To Purchase A Home – are they for real? Government agencies like Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Federal Housing Authority (FHA) have many resources to help you buy a home. The latest is a program that lets you get into a new house with just 3% down … and some organizations will even contribute to that amount!
Did your home recently sustain damages in a natural disaster? Whether or not, every home needs continous upgrades and repairs. Grants For Home Repair can come from federal agencies (even the USDA), state programs, public utilities, private foundations, and other non-profit agencies. In fact there s a new non-profit created by Congress to help specifically with issues like Home Repair.
Finding money for a small business can be frustrating. We can t all take a company public or receive millions in funding from Venture Capitalists. Money is out there but it s in places you might not expect. Small Business Financing Opportunities describes all these as well as legislation that helps you.
Small business is so important that in 1953, a new agency, the Small Business Administration (SBA.gov), was developed to support entrepreneurs and small business. The administration has a budget of over half a billion dollars and focuses on capital, contracts, and counseling.
Free money for school is more than a dream. Determine your eligibility in two minutes to see if you Qualify for a Pell Grant. There s no competition for pell grants but funds are first come, first serve. If you qualify, as much as $5,730 is available for the 2014-2015 school year.
Every year current and prospective students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Completing this free application is one of the required steps to receive a pell grant. Though it gets a bit personal, the benefits are well worth it. Scholarships, loans and aid are unlocked with the FAFSA.
Business Grants
Grants for Business gives you a big-picture view of where and how to look for money for your business. There is more out there than you realize. A special $30 billion fund created to encourage more loans for small business is just an example.
For more specialized resources, Fund A Startup Business can help get your first business up and running. It reviews both traditional and newer, creative possibilities specific to a new venture. Words like crowdfunding and micro-financing may not have been around for long, but they – and others – are creating opportunities for entrepreneurs.
If you are an African American starting or growing your own business, Black Business Resources are available for you. Many agencies and private companies have new programs to increase the number and success of minority-run businesses. Women are also holding more and more top executive positions and starting new businesses at a fast rate. Find out more in Grants For Women-Owned Business.
Federal Aid
Are you sitting there thinking, "I Need Help"? Sometimes you don t have the time to wait for lots of paperwork to get handled. It s still up to you to make the effort, but there s help available in places you may not have looked. If you wish there were Grants to Pay Bills then continue reading.
The government gives out literally billions in assistance each year. It s important – and right – that you be sure you are receiving whatever you should be according to the law. Federal Assistance in the United States will help you understand – and get – all that is available.
The ultimate in "free money" is unclaimed money because it s money that is already yours. Examples are old bank accounts, utility deposits, and dividends you didn t get because you moved, and so much more. The states hold onto billions of it – and make money off it! Find Unclaimed Money guides you on your treasure hunt!

major macro economic indicators
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(f): forecast
- Flexible labour and goods markets
- Favourable business climate, attractive tax regime
- Presence of multinationals, in particular from the USA, providing a quarter of jobs, 15% of wages and 60% of non-finance market activity
- Presence (through multinationals) in high added value sectors (including pharmaceuticals, computing, medical equipment)
- Level of dependence on multinationals in terms of GDP, jobs and foreign trade: offshore activities, mainly in the form of contracted out foreign fabrication, account for ¼ of GDP
- Dependence on the economic situation and tax regimes in USA and Europe, in particular the United Kingdom
- Vulnerability to changes in the strategies of foreign companies
- Continuing high levels of public and private debt
- Banking sector remains vulnerable to shocks
- Uncertainties on Brexit terms and future relations with the United Kingdom, specifically Northern Ireland
Risk assessment
Consolidation of growth in 2018
Irish economic activity is expected to remain dynamic in 2018, despite a slight slowing. The purely domestic market should gradually pick up the slack from the activity of the multinational firms that have domiciled some of their operations in Ireland in order to benefit from low corporate tax rates (maximum of 12.5%). Growth could, however, suffer as a result of the uncertainties arising from the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union. Domestic demand will remain the main driving force for the economy.
Household consumption, which grew at a slower rate than had been expected in 2017, will be bolstered by wage growth and increasing employment. Inflation, which was up slightly in 2017, continues to be kept low by falling prices for goods imported from the UK. This will rise gradually through 2018, driven by rising housing prices and the increase in the cost of labour. Investment, which made a significant contribution to activity in 2017, will continue to benefit from the solid health of the construction sector. The catch-up effect that began in 2016 will continue into 2018, with the rise in disposable household incomes helping to consolidate the demand for housing. Following weak growth in 2017, manufacturing investment is expected to stand still, while R&D investment will remain dependent on activity levels of multinational companies. The high levels of company indebtedness and non-performing loans still on the banks' balance sheets (15% of their portfolio, concentrated in mortgages and loans to the SME sector) will continue to impact on credit, for SMEs in particular. In terms of supply, the weak performances in the manufacturing sector will continue to be offset by the strength of activity in the services sector – most notably information technology and communications.
Near budgetary equilibrium and current account surplus
In 2017, the boost to service exports was largely counterbalanced by the slowdown in goods exports. The first impact of Brexit on the external accounts was in the form of an increase in imports under the combined impetus of strong domestic demand and the depreciation of the British pound. The current account surplus recorded in 2017 is expected to continue in 2018, but recent movements in exchange rates are likely to affect the competitiveness of Irish goods exports. However, the slowing in shipments to the United Kingdom will be made up for by higher levels of demand from its other trading partners, such as the European Union and the United States where demand remains strong.
The contraction in the public deficit is expected to continue in 2018 despite the expansionist budgetary policy. The favourable economic situation which will help boost budget revenues and the raising of certain taxes (commercial properties and sugar) will offset the slight reduction in income taxes and higher public spending. This increased spending will be focused on education and housing, with a specific allocation of EUR 1.83 Bn for the construction of social housing. The structural surplus will drop to 0.5% of GDP in 2018, in line with European recommendations. The public debt will continue to shrink but will remain large.
At the heart of Brexit negotiations
Following the long awaited resignation of Enda Kenny, the leader of Fine Gael, on the 17th May 2017, the Minister for Social Protection, Leo Varadkar, was elected to take over as leader of the party and as Prime Minister. His minority coalition government remains precarious. It includes members of his party and Independents. It relies essentially on an agreement with the second-largest party in Parliament, Fianna Fail, which has agreed to abstain on votes until the end of 2018. In December 2017, a scandal involving Deputy Prime Minister Frances Fitzgerald almost brought down the coalition. It survived with Ms Fitzgerald's resignation, thereby avoiding the collapse of the government and fresh elections just as the Brexit negotiations are taking place. Early elections (normally due to be held in 2021) cannot be ruled out in 2018, but would probably again result in a fragmented parliament.
The border with Northern Ireland, one of the two land borders between the EU and the UK, has become a critical element in the Brexit negotiations and has highlighted the tensions between the UK, the EU and Ireland. If the United Kingdom left the common market and the customs' union, this would imply the reinstatement of border controls. Beyond the economic implications of such an eventuality, with more than 30% of exports from Northern Ireland going to Ireland and 30,000 people crossing the border every day, the Irish question potentially imperils the 1998 peace agreement that brought to an end 30 years of civil war. Supported by the EU, Dublin rejects the reinstatement of a hard border and wants a special status that allows Northern Ireland to remain in the customs union. This puts the United Kingdom in a difficult position. Whilst the Northern Irish Republicans would seem to favour Dublin's proposed solution, the Unionists (DUP) upon whom the government of Theresa May is dependent, are firmly opposed.
Last update : January 2018
Cheques are generally used for both domestic and international commercial transactions. However, for international transactions, the use of bills of exchange is preferred, together with letters of credit.
Bank transfers are common, with SWIFT transfers being utilised regularly. These are often seen as a quick and efficient method of payment.
Direct Debits and standing orders are also becoming more recognised as an effective method of making payment for regular and expected financial transactions, and are particularly useful for domestic transactions.
Assignment of invoice is accepted both pre-and post-supply of goods and/or services.
Debt collection
Amicable phase
The debt collection process usually begins with the debtor being sent a demand for payment, followed by a series of further written correspondence, telephone calls, and personal visits, and debtor meetings. If the two parties are unable to reach an amicable settlement, the creditor may begin legal proceedings.
Where there is no specific interest clause, the rate applicable to commercial contracts concluded after the 7th August 2002 (Regulation number 388 of 2002) is the benchmark rate, i.e. the European Central Bank's refinancing rate, in force before 1st January or 1st July of the relevant year, marked up by seven percentage points and applied to the contracts via a percentage calculated per day past due date.
For claims exceeding EUR 1,270, debtors may be threatened with a "statutory demand" for the winding-up (closure) of their business if they fail to make payment or come to acceptable terms within three weeks after they receive a statutory demand for payment (a "21-day notice").
Legal proceedings
If a defendant fails to respond within the allotted time to a court summons (either a plenary or summary summons before the High Court, a civil bill before the Circuit Court, or a civil summons before the District Court), the creditor may obtain a judgement by default based on the submission of an affidavit of debt without a court hearing.
An affidavit of debt is a sworn statement that substantiates the outstanding amount and cause of the claim. It bears a signature attested by a notary or an Irish consular office.
The claim amount at stake will determine the competent court: the District Court, then the Circuit Court, and, for claims exceeding EUR 38,092.14, the High Court in Dublin, which has unlimited jurisdiction to hear civil and criminal cases and to assess, in the first instance, the constitutionality of laws enacted by Parliament (Oireachtais).
Fast-track procedure
In any of the three courts, if the debt is certain and undisputed, it is alternatively possible to request a fast-track summary judgment from the competent court.
District Court: amounts up to EUR 6,348
For contested debts, a civil summons is served on the debtor, with the originating court proceedings setting out the claim and amount alleged owed. The debtor then files a Notice of Intention to Defend, indicating that he intends to contest the case, at which point the court fixes a hearing date. The case is heard before a judge, who decides whether to issue an order for judgment (a Decree).
Circuit Court: amounts from EUR 6,349 EUR to EUR 38,092
In this case, a civil bill is served on the debtor, who, in turn, will enter an Appearance (a formal document indicating that the debtor intends to answer the claim). A notice for particulars is then also filed by the debtor, in which he seeks further information about the claim to which the creditor sends replies. The debtor must deliver a defence within a prescribed period. The creditor then serves the defendant with a formal notice advising of hearing date. Each side presents its case and the judge makes a decision.
High Court: amounts over EUR 38,093
In front of the High Court, a summary summons is served on the debtor, who then files an Appearance. The creditor makes an application to the Master of the High Court for judgment by way of motion and grounded by sworn affidavit. The debtor can reply to the claim by sworn affidavit. If the Master is satisfied that the debt is due and owing, liberty to enter final judgment is granted. However, if the Master is satisfied that the debtor has a genuine dispute, the case is sent for a plenary hearing. During the plenary hearing, the merits of the case are heard either as oral evidence or affidavit. A High Court hears the case and makes a determination.
In 2004, a commercial court – a special division of the High Court – was created. The commercial court is competent to hear commercial disputes exceeding EUR 1 million, included in a commercial list or cases concerning intellectual property, and is able to provide a suitable and rapid examination of the cases submitted. At the discretion of the commercial judge, proceedings may be adjourned for up to 28 days to enable the parties to refer to alternative dispute resolution practices, such as conciliation or mediation.
Normally, obtaining a decision may take a year. However, this timeframe may be doubled if compulsory enforcement is required. Appeal claims brought before the Supreme Court may take an additional three years.
Enforcement of a legal decision
A judgment is enforceable as soon as it becomes final. If the debtor fails to satisfy the judgment, the creditor can request the competent court to order execution by way of attachment and sale of the debtor's assets by the Sheriff. There is also the possibility to obtain payment of a debt through a third party owing money to the debtor (garnishee order).
For foreign awards, enforcement depends on whether the decision is issued in a European Union (EU) member state or a country outside the EU. For the former, Ireland has adopted enforcement mechanisms; such as the EU Payment Order, or the European Enforcement Order when the claim is undisputed.
Insolvency proceedings
Out-of-court proceedings
Informal negotiations may take place, and any agreement must be unanimously adopted by all creditors.
Examinership is an Irish legal process whereby court protection is obtained to assist the survival of a company; The company may then restructure with the High Court's approval. It provides a maximum 100 day period in which a court appointed official (the examiner) seeks to take control of the company and manage it so that the company may continue to trade. The procedure may be initiated by the company, its directors, or one of its creditors. Once the examiner has been appointed, no proceedings may be commenced against the company. Its functions are to examine the affairs of the company and to formulate proposals for its survival. The examiner must formulate proposals for a compromise or scheme of arrangement to facilitate the survival of the relevant body as a going concern. They can be accepted by the creditors but they must be validated by the court.
The procedure arises in the context of secured creditors and provides a framework in which they may act so as to enforce their security interest. A receiver is appointed to a company by either a debenture holder or the court to take control of the assets of a company, with a view to ensure the repayment of the debt owed to the debenture holder, either through receiving income or realising the value of the charged asset.
The terminal process by which a company is wound up and dissolved, this process is conducted by a liquidator who takes possession of assets and distributes the proceeds from their sale in accordance with the priority of repayment. The liquidator is also required to investigate the conduct of the directors of the company and prepare a report for the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE). Dependent of its view, the liquidator may also be required to bring restriction proceedings against one or more of the directors. The procedure can be started by a competent court (court liquidation), the creditors (creditors' voluntary liquidation) or the debtors (members' voluntary liquidation).

oh, thank you. the lack of confidence stems in a commission i took for bridesmaids dresses. the bride changed her mind a few times about length, even design, i felt quite down because of that. i did not want to come near the sewing machine again!

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.—Ephesians 4:31
Dispositional sins are fully as injurious to the Christian cause as the more overt acts of wickedness. These sins are as many as the various facets of human nature. Just so there may be no misunderstanding let us list a few of them: Sensitiveness, irritability, churlishness, faultfinding, peevishness, temper, resentfulness, cruelty, uncharitable attitudes; and of course there are many more. These kill the spirit of the church and slow down any progress which the gospel may be making in the community. Many persons who had been secretly longing to find Christ have been turned away and embittered by manifestations of ugly dispositional flaws in the lives of the very persons who were trying to win them....
Unsaintly saints are the tragedy of Christianity. People of the world usually pass through the circle of disciples to reach Christ, and if they find those disciples severe and sharp-tongued they can hardly be blamed if they sigh and turn away from Him.... The low state of religion in our day is largely due to the lack of public confidence in religious people. Of God and Men, 84-85.
"Oh Lord, may I never be an 'unsaintly saint!' Give me a pleasant disposition today, not that people would be attracted to me, but that through me they may be irresistably drawn to Christ. Amen."

A parent of a Bartow Middle School student was arrested after showing up for a meeting with a gun tucked in her waistband and carrying a purse containing a stun gun and a bag of methamphetamine, police said.
BARTOW | A parent of a Bartow Middle School student was arrested Wednesday morning after showing up for a meeting in the guidance office with a gun tucked in her waistband and carrying a purse containing a stun gun and a bag of methamphetamine, police said.
Bartow police Sgt. David Wyant said Lisa Palmes, 42, of Bartow, told officers that she didn't know she wasn't allowed to have a gun on the property.
"She had a concealed weapons permit, but when you get one of those permits it comes with a whole list of the rules," Wyant said. One of those rules prohibits carrying guns onto school campuses.
Bartow Middle School Principal Angela Gordon said Palmes was on campus for a meeting in the guidance office with members of the staff.
"One of the teachers in the room saw the gun in the back waistband of her pants," she said.
Gordon said the teacher alerted School Resource Officer Jason Griffith.
Police said Griffith walked into the meeting, took the fully loaded .380-caliber handgun from Palmes' waistband, and escorted her to his office where he searched her purse.
Inside he found "an electronic weapon commonly referred to as a stun gun, a plastic baggie containing a white powdery substance, a straw and a pill of tramadol hydrochloride," according to reports. Police said they later determined the powdery substance was methamphe-tamine.
Gordon said Palmes did not seem angry during the meeting, and the atmosphere was very non-confrontational.
Wyant said Palmes made a statement about being unhappy with the School Board, but did not say why and never made any threats.
Gordon said the situation was handled extremely well by school faculty and Bartow police.
"Kudos to the teacher that spotted it (the gun)," Gordon said. "We are training everybody that you have to always keep your eyes open."
As of now, the school does not have signs at school entrances stating that no guns are allowed.
"There are various bulletin boards throughout the school that say no guns, but they are directed at students, not parents," Gordon said. "With every new incident comes change."
Gordon said new signs will be installed soon outside the school building.
According to Assistant State Attorney Brian Haas, there's a list of places where you can't carry a concealed weapon.
"There is a provision under Florida Law that allows certain individuals who qualify to carry a concealed firearm," Haas said. "In the same provision there is a list of places where the license does not authorize the person to carry a concealed weapon or firearm."
Included in this list is "any elementary or secondary school or administration building," Haas said.
Palmes was charged with three felonies: possession of methamphetamine; possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; and possession of an electric weapon during the commission of a felony. She also faces three misdemeanor charges: possession of drug paraphernalia; violation of license to carry a concealed firearm; and possession of certain drugs without a prescrip-tion.
She was being booked into the Polk County Jail on Wednesday evening.

Why do I teach vinyasa workshops? Primarily because I don't want others to get injured, like I did, from unknowingly "doing yoga" out of physical integrity. For the last 6 years I have taught Vinyasa Fundamentals classes because I injured my rotator cuff from almost 10 years of yoga, long before I became a teacher. I loved the flowy vinyasa classes, which I started in gym fitness classes, but I never learned the proper alignment. I got caught up in the fun, high energy music, the awesome sweaty workout, but, I honestly didn't realize how I was contributing to my torn rotator cuff, mainly from repetitive sloppy alignment in chaturangas. (NOTE: this is not a knock against gym yoga classes! This is just MY experience. I've taught yoga in gyms and know AMAZING teachers in gyms. 🙏🏽) . . As a Power Vinyasa instructor, I know firsthand the challenge of limited time to stop within a 60-90 min class to REALLY teach alignment. I speak to alignment when I teach but, it's not enough time to individually create proper habits or break old habits. So every year I lead and encourage my students to step into a workshop. . I THOUGHT I was an experienced yogi before I took my first Baptiste yoga class in a studio and was blown away when I took my first Intro to Vinyasa workshop. That was over 15 years ago! When I became a yoga teacher I vowed I would do what I can to lead students to get the most of their practice, physically safe and connected to something bigger than themselves. . Never tried a vinyasa class? Feeling lost in group classes? Wondering if you're creating the intentional physical posture of each pose? Confused about the names of the poses or how to do that Darth Vader breath?? Been doing vinyasa classes forever yet struggling to experience ease? Have an injury and curious if you can modify your practice for YOUR body? . My intention is to lead you into a more easeful and efficient practice to experience vinyasa, to flow with breath. I will observe each one of you and give custom feedback to encourage a safe physical practice to prevent injury through proper alignment. #swipeleft + ⬇ for more deetsThe time to meditate is when you don't have time to meditate. - Dr Dean Ornish .

As Ohio has become almost a must-win state for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, he has sought to blur distinctions between himself and President Barack Obama on the issue of the 2009 auto bailouts.
A new TV ad playing to erroneous fears that Jeep might move its manufacturing from Ohio to China caps a prolonged effort by Romney to recast his opposition to Obama's actions to prop up an industry that employs one in eight of Ohio's voters.
Romney has sought to reframe his criticism of Obama's handling of the 2009 rescue of General Motors and Chrysler in an effort to combat the president's usage of the bailout to court swing voters in the Buckeye State. The GOP nominee has argued it was Obama who took the companies bankrupt, and has argued that he would be a better president for beleaguered autoworkers.
Mitt Romney campaigns in the critical battleground state of Ohio as a poll shows a dead heat between the governor and President Obama. Watch the entire speech.
And a new television ad airing in Toledo and Youngstown, Ohio, the Romney campaign raises the specter of production of Jeeps moving from the U.S. to China, an assertion which Jeep's Italian parent company has said is blatantly false.
Related: Ohio governor says Romney will carry Buckeye State
The GOP candidate's new tack represents an effort to play offense on the issue of auto bailouts in the final eight days of the campaign. Obama has used Romney's opposition to the 2008-09 rescue to great effect in Ohio and other Midwestern states, where the former Massachusetts governor must perform well if he's to have any hope of being elected president.
"You saw in the debates that Barack Obama said a few things that were, as he said, whoppers," Ohio Sen. Rob Portman said at a Romney rally on Monday in Cleveland. "He turned to Mitt Romney and said, 'You wanted to take those companies through bankruptcy and not provide them any federal aid.' Let me tell you, I supported a rescue package for the autos, but what Barack Obama said was simply not true. And by the way, it was Barack Obama who took GM and Chrysler through bankruptcy."
Ohio Gov. John Kasich tells David Gregory that the job creators deserve the credit for helping raise Ohio's economic growth.
Ohio's Republican governor, John Kasich, also suggested Sunday on "Meet the Press" that the bailout hadn't been as great as Obama might suggest.
"We are thrilled that we have a strong auto industry," he argued, "but it doesn't account for the growth of 112,000 jobs in our state."
But it was the Jeep ad in particular that marked the culmination of an effort by Romney over the past 18 months to reframe the auto debate on friendlier terms.
"Obama took GM and Chrylser into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians, who are going to build Jeeps in China," the narrator of the ad says as a clip of a disputed Bloomberg News report appears onscreen, saying Chrysler "plans to return Jeep output to China."
The original Bloomberg report became fodder for conservatives, including Romney, who said last week in Ohio that Jeep "is thinking of moving all production to China." But Jeep's ownership has said it isn't planning to move any U.S. production to China; rather, the automaker is establishing new capacity in China to build vehicles that will be sold in China.
But the ad plays to those ill-founded fears. A fair viewing of the ad might leave that impression with a voter, though the language in the ad is so narrowly tailored that it can't be directly disputed.
That could make a difference in a battleground territory like northwest Ohio, the home to a major Jeep plant that employs thousands of Toledoans and almost left the area in the late 1990s until the city stepped forward to offer hundreds of millions in tax credits.
The Obama campaign responded with a TV ad of its own, accusing the GOP nominee of being "wrong then" and "dishonest now."
"It reeks of desperation, because that's what it is," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said Monday on a conference call.
But the Jeep ad is just one component of Romney's months-long effort to better couch his opposition to the bailout.
FIRST READ: Romney's chances in Ohio tied to softening bailout stance
Romney, whose father was an auto executive before becoming governor of Michigan, penned an op-ed shortly after the 2008 election, infamously titled, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." The piece for the New York Times opposed the loans for the companies that then-outgoing President George W. Bush and some Republicans (including Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin congressman who would become Romney's vice presidential nominee) had favored, calling instead for a managed bankruptcy for GM and Chrysler with government support for the companies' warranties and for post-bankruptcy financing offered by private lenders.
Obama eventually embarked upon a different course. His administration negotiated a managed bankruptcy with bondholders, autoworkers' unions and the companies' leadership, while occasionally injecting the companies with capital drawn from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in order to stave off a more drastic bankruptcy, and possible liquidation.
Democrats contend that no private financing was available to the auto companies during the bailout, and the government was the only actor equipped to provide the companies with a lifeline while simultaneously negotiating their bankruptcy, from which GM and Chrysler immediately emerged.
The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd reports with the latest.
The bailout was unpopular at the time, derided by Republicans as a favor for unions, since autoworkers' pensions — in conservatives' view — were favored over dealers and other secured bondholders. Indeed, the Indiana State Police Pension Fund sued to prevent the deal from going forward, but it was rejected by the Supreme Court.
RELATED: Auto politics haunt Romney in NW Ohio
GM and Chrysler both rebounded in the months following the bailout to improve sales and profits, allowing the companies to pay off their loans from the government more quickly than expected. Their success has been heralded ever since by Democrats as a gutsy and successful example of Obama's leadership at the height of the Great Recession.
And since that time, Romney has — at alternating moments — both embraced and rejected central elements of Obama's decision making.
The Republican nominee has argued that it was his original idea, rather than Obama's, to put the auto companies through bankruptcy, though Romney's proposed process would have differed immensely. (Romney's plan wouldn't have necessarily forced GM and Chrysler into liquidation, nor was that what the governor had advocated — contrary to the president's suggestion during this month's debate.)
Romney was most pointedly forced to confront his opposition to the bailout during the Michigan and Ohio primaries in late February and early March. The Michigan native repeatedly called himself a "car guy" while campaigning near the Motor City, and appeared driving a Chrysler in a TV ad.
And Romney took to the editorial page of the Detroit News, where he accused Obama of "crony capitalism" in the bailout and said the companies would have been better off without Obama's intervention.
"Instead of doing the right thing and standing up to union bosses, Obama rewarded them," Romney wrote.
FLASHBACK: How much support would Romney have given to automakers?
As with a number of other issues since the primary, Romney, the Republican standard-bearer, has tried to soften the edges of some of his harder-charging rhetoric during the primaries.
"I'm a son of Detroit. I was born in Detroit. My dad was head of a car company. I like American cars. And I would do nothing to hurt the U.S. auto industry. My plan to get the industry on its feet when it was in real trouble was not to start writing checks," Romney said at the third and final debate a week ago against Obama.
The GOP nominee's claim prompted the president to accuse Romney of trying to "airbrush history."
Speaking Monday in Youngstown, Ohio, former President Bill Clinton got in on the action. He said Chrysler "put out a statement sayin' it was the biggest load of bull in the world" in reference of the Jeep-to-China rumors.
"He ties himself in more knots than a Boy Scout does in a knot-tying contest," Clinton said of Romney.

In the final push in the 2012 presidential election, candidates Mitt Romney and Barack Obama make their last appeals to voters.

But still, 14 is young enough that the shape of the body would be somewhat of a giveaway as to the identity of Tobi. And I think Kishimoto realized this, and for that very reason he dressed Tobi in a baggy cloak. There is a reason why Tobi isn't dressed as he usually is, and it is because the smallness of his frame needed to be concealed.

To each their own, though. Such a plot point would leave a bad taste in my mouth, but if you like it, then good on you.

- In the event that Madara only got one, it might explain its defeat at the hand of the First. It's also a middle ground between Tobi's version of the event and Itachi's version.
- Why does Tobi keeps his mask at this point? Would not proving he was Madara (even though physical appearence doesn't prove a lot in this manga) be an advantage?
- Madara was believed to be dead up until recently, just like Uzina. And as far as I know, the first Hokage should know when he kill someone. It's a weak argument though.
- Who else could be in the coffin Kabuto brought up? I can only see Madara.
- We actually never see Izuna dead. We do see him laying eyeless though.
- Of what we know of Izuna's personnality, wanting peace seems more fitting to his character than it is to Madara.
- He was explicitaly stated to be as strong as Madara.
- There is very, very little reason to introduce the character of Izuna if not for that plot twist alone.
- As far as we know, flashback do not necessarly tell the whole truth all the time.
See: - the night of the Uchiha massacre
- two different version of the Uchiha clan story, one told by Itachi, the other by Tobi

And saying that Izuna might have got an eye is stretching what is written and shown to what we think.
All though flashbacks are different they all do hold a sense of truth. Sasuke only knows what happens through his perspective as well as tobi. The situation between killer and victim are always different.
But i do agree that Madara is the only other person i see coming out of kabuto's coffin.
But that makes the obito theory that much more believable.
Tobi is in fact Madara as he claims but in Obito's body which explains the one eye. There might be connection between that.
An come on, you can spell tobi with the letters in obito, That is a major clue in identifying Which people make up tobi

Personally, I think you are wrong in how you are looking at these heights. Specifically, the heights are based off of average Japanese growth patterns. Consequently, it is extremely unlikely that Obito would grow 20 cm in a year or less.
That being said, this character in 500/501 is most probably Tobi, and Tobi's height is known (Data Book 3 confirmed the height at 175 cm (the Narutopedia page combines Tobi and Madara's information, but in reality only Tobi's height was given in the book, with Madara's information left undisclosed))...
Something is obviously up with Tobi, that much is clear. But, Obito is such an obvious answer, that, to me at least, if Obito is in any way connected to Tobi, I will feel majorly jipped. People have been predicting that Tobi was Obito since the character was introduced back during the end of the Rescue Gaara arc. For Kishimoto to confirm that hypothesis now, after dragging us through all this Madara crap, would be the silliest writing.
Tobi will be something, but I doubt he will simply be a wrinkled old man, or Obito...

A couple of questions...
1. Obitio activated his sharingan with 2 tomoe (i always thought this was significant, sorta suggesting his talent as an uchiha cuz i figured a first time activation would start with only 1 tomoe in each eye)...
but at the start of chap 425, obito is seen with what looks like 3 tomoe. is this the case? did his eyes evolve soon after activating sharingan?
2. Whats the timeline for obitos death, kyuubi attack, minato becoming hokage?

I can't believe people are still discussing Obito as a possibility. Aside from the cloaked man's appearance, notice his mannerisms, and his demeanor-- it's obviously an experienced adult. Not only would Obito have to grow at astonishing rates to match the masked man's physique, he would also have to mature mentally.
Madara says he's been planning the attack for a long time, and quite frankly you would need to to pull it off. Not to mention, Obito's voice would be instantly recognized by Minato.. and Obito is not even in the same level as Minato in terms of strength; it's ridiculous to say he could run circles around him like he did.
A child of Obito's age, and personality just doesn't have the capacity to pull off what we all know is Madara's doing.

Guys, It can NOT be madara... Even if you forget about all the evidence.. THe fact that even after the ''masked guy'' calls himself madara, everyone still calls him '' the masked guy''.. IS enough proof.. If kishi wanted you to accept that he is madara then he would make kushina, minato, naruto, anko and her squad and many many more.. simply say madara ...
+ how do you know its a year or less since obito ''died''?
Minato wasn''t hokage back then and we don't really have any other measure points.. Do we know how old kakashi was when naruto was born or something? As far as we know it could be 3years since obito's death... :P ??
EDIT: And for the theory of madara being in the coffin.. The jutsu uses the soul not the body to create a fake body and then to use it in combat.. So if you believe that madara was in that coffin( what I believe) then you can't believe that tobi is obito's body + madara's mind since madara's mind is already in the coffin.. Dead zone..

There is something fishy about him, though, and for me the fishiest thing about him, is that he was introduced to Akatsuki as a new member, yet he ordered Pain around, without being the leader of the group, nor the founder. Did he have ties to Pain before he joined? Did he somehow blackmaled Pain? I mean they even had different goals, they wanted to achieve different things once they had all the bijuus, yet they had still cooperated. Kishimoto never touched on how their relationship came to be and what it really was, and that still bucks me to date. Is it bad writing, to just not care about all those missing information, like with the Rin'negan, or is it possible, that Tobi's identity lies hidden within that missing information, so that Kishimoto hasn't told us all about it intentionally?

- If it turned out that Obita was alive, why would his first reflex NOT be to come back to the village at once. There is no motivation what so ever for this character to become what Tobi is. Character wize this makes no sense at all. The only thing supporting the Obito theory is the fact that Tobi has a right eye. But remember, the very little we've seen from Tobi's face, he was obviously much older than Kakashi, when they're supposed to be the same age.
So not only is this not Obito, it's not Obito's body either.

^The difference is we saw Obito's body thoroughly crushed whereas we only heard from secondary and tertiary sources that Madara died. In other words, despite his apparent defeat, we never actually saw Madara's battle, so we cannot base any conclusions off of an encounter we have never witnessed.

Not that I'm particularly hoping that Madara is Obito but anytime you're dealing with the Sharingan anything is possible. I mean Kakashi's Kumai and Madara's dimensional whatnot are pretty similar. Who's to say Obito's body didn't get sucked into another dimension by his eyes own power where his body grew outside of the regular passage of time. Again it's the Sharingan we're talking about, adding time travel/dimensional warping to it's list of ridiculous powers wouldn't be a stretch.
Anyways personally I think whoever Madara is, it can't be a recognizable, Uchiha of the last 10 years seeing that Itachi would have realized he missed someone during the Massacre. I like the idea of Madara's body possessed 10 tails spirit however I doubt the 10 tails would have been as obsessed with Sharingans as Madara currently is, especially since he had access to the almighty Rinnegan which in theory should be more powerful and has a closer connection to the beasts final imprisonment.

correct me if i'm wrong Tobi must be an Uchiha or a sharingan wielder if not this post is useless
Is it madara Most likely, but not completely madara. " a mere shell of his former past"
Is it Izuna most likely not. Why, because he has no eyes and Tobi is illustrated to have at least one.
Obito probably, that would explain the one eye, it fits the time line, even the looks when we catch a glimpse of Tobi's face.
Im thinking our culprit is half of obito and half madara, but not like soul and body im thinking like a zetsu sort of think like exactly half is madara and half is Obito LOL
Just kidding, but i think its a mix of the 2

Edit: Found it.
I like the idea, it make sense story wise. What it doesn't tell me is what was in the coffin and who's body is the ten-tail controling. How clearly is it staded that the tenth element of the Jiuuby is within the moon?
