Even my husband uses it now!

Purchased at iHerb
I wanted to switch to a fluoride free, natural toothpaste and after much research and ingredient researching settled on this one. Whilst the non-minty taste compared to regular toothpaste took a few times to get used to, the consistency is great and my teeth feel clean and my mouth feels fresh after using it. I would also add my mouth feels less dry than with commercial toothpaste. Best of all though is after my hubby calling me a hippy for switching I now know he's using it too as the same empty Colgate tube has been sitting in our bathroom for almost a year now! Please click 'yes' if you found this helpful and click my NaturalMum link above for more reviews on natural beauty products, vitamins and supplements.
Jason Sea Fresh Spearmint Toothpaste
9 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Sprinkles on Apr 12, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
This is a very nice-tasting toothpaste to use. Soft spearmint flavor; not too strong. It would never burn your mouth like some other mints. This one doesn't do anything for whitening the teeth, however. Also, it has an extremely odd quirk in that the paste doesn't all melt down and foam out - some "clumps" of it stay in your toothbrush instead of all coming out in your mouth while brushing, so at the end, you have to rinse your toothbrush and shake it a couple of times, and the remaining toothpaste will then fall out in the sink in little clumps -- some rinses down the drain easily, but other clumps of it stick to the sink and are hard to get off. Very messy and too much trouble; I will not buy this toothpaste again because of this.

I love toothpaste with this company !!! They are the best! Highly qualified staff, natural, there is nothing more harmful. The consistency of the paste is very thick, foaming is normal, after it a sense of freshness and good teeth cleaning. After constant use of these pastes, tartar is formed more slowly noticed my dentists! I advise you to try the best paste I have ever tasted Come to my page (click on my name at the top reviews, highlighted in blue), and you will find there is a lot of useful information
Great Product!

I go out of my way to buy this brand and here's why: at first I was concerned about using a toothepaste without floride - but floride is getting a VERY bad rap these days. Now the anti-bacterial formula in THIS toothpaste is as good or better than floride. It does a great job of keeping my teeth fresh and clean. If I'm having gum pain due to particles getting in and around my crowns and bridgework, I just head to the sink and brush with "Jason" - and the pain goes away. This is MY brand from now on! I have total confidence in it and can say NO more crest - NO more floride!!

I have used this toothpaste for at least two years. This is the best toothpaste on the market. My dental hygienist cannot believe my gums and teeth are so good. I owe good dental health to Jason.

text: The first indie release by Amel Larrieux – and a great one! Amel's sounding stronger than ever here – working in stripped-down territory that recalls her earlier work, yet which also put her in the forefront of underground soul artists keeping the genre fresh and strong. After years singing with Groove Theory, Sweetback, and on other projects, Larrieux's vocals are incredible – deeply-crafted, but never overdone and cloying – sliding around with a style that's sweet and righteous at the same time, and set here amidst arrangements that have some great twists and turns. Nicely defying cliche, Amel's got a sound here that's fresher than ever! Titles include "For Real", "Congo", "Sacred", "Giving Something Up", "Beyond", "All I Got", "Say You Want It All", and "Dear To Me". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Reducing Risks by Offering Contraceptive Services
- Reducing unwanted pregnancies
- Unmet need leads to unsafe abortions
- Contraceptive use stalled in some low-income countries
- Limited contraceptive options
- A smart investment
In developing countries, women continue to die because they lack access to contraception. Each pregnancy multiplies a woman's chance of dying from complications of pregnancy or childbirth. Maternal mortality rates are particularly high for young and poor women, those who have least access to contraceptive services.
Changing Attitudes: Family Planning in Ethiopia
Scaling-up Access to Long-term Family Planning Methods in Northern Ethiopia
When IUCDs were offered at the clinic five years ago, only about 16 were requested for the whole year. But as word has spread about this method, which is cheap, reversible, safe and effective for most women, demand has increased. Now an average of 75 women are getting IUCDs every month.

It is estimated that one in three deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth could be avoided if all women had access to contraceptive services. However, in many countries, funding for family planning has been curtailed, and many low-income countries find themselves without adequate supplies of contraceptives.
Reducing unwanted pregnancies
Expanding access to client-centred information and services, where a range of effective contraceptive methods is offered and responsive counselling provided, reduces the number of unplanned pregnancies. These unintended pregnancies often lead to sub-optimal pregnancy care, unsafe abortions and overwhelmed mothers. As many as 50 per cent of pregnancies are unplanned, and 25 per cent are unwanted. The unwanted pregnancies are disproportionately among young, unmarried girls who often lack access to contraception.
Unmet need leads to unsafe abortions
More than one quarter of pregnancies worldwide, about 52 million annually, end in abortion. Many of these procedures are clandestine, performed under unsafe conditions. About 13 per cent of maternal deaths are attributed to unsafe abortions, coupled with lack of skilled follow-up. Some 23,000 women each year die as a result. The high level of unmet need for quality contraceptive services and the corresponding number of unintended pregnancies — is a key reason why so many seek out abortions. Young women are especially vulnerable.
Contraceptive use stalled in some low-income countries
Some 222 million women who want to delay or cease childbearing—roughly one in six women of reproductive age—are in need of effective contraceptive methods. Substantial proportions of women in every country—more than 50 per cent in some—say their last birth was unwanted or mistimed.
The use of modern contraceptive methods, including voluntary sterilization, has generally increased rapidly over the past 30 years, especially in countries with strong family planning programmes. However, progress has stalled in many low-income countries. The use of modern contraceptive methods has changed little in the past decade throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa, and is still low (less than 10 per cent in many countries).
Limited contraceptive options
Differing patterns of contraceptive use may not reflect women's personal preferences as much as political and economic decisions made by governments to emphasize certain methods, the attitudes of medical professionals, cost, the limited range of methods offered in some countries or an uneven availability of contraceptive supplies.
In fact, high quality family planning services are often not available: One evaluation of family planning programmes in 88 developing countries concludes that family planning services are routinely made available to women at reasonable cost in only 14 countries.
In many developing countries, at least a third of women need contraceptive services. However,
- Some women do not know about modern methods, are unable to obtain or afford them, or distrust or dislike the methods that are available
- Single women and teenagers may be barred from obtaining contraceptive services
- Other women are ambivalent about whether they want a child or are unsure about their ability to become pregnant
- Still others live with a partner who does not approve of contraception or who wants them to become pregnant
UNFPA is committed to closing the gap between the number of individuals who use contraceptives and those who would like to delay, space or limit their families. UNFPA supports family planning services in countries around the world, usually within a broader context of reproductive health services.
A smart investment
Each dollar spent on contraception would reduce total medical spending by $1.40 by cutting down on sums spent on unplanned births and abortions, according to a UNFPA/Guttmacher Institute study. Investing another $12 billion a year (for a total of $24 billion) would fulfill the unmet need for family planning and provide every woman with the recommended standard of maternal and newborn care. This would:
- Reduce unintended pregnancies by more than 66 per cent
- Prevent 70 per cent of maternal deaths
- Avert 44 per cent of newborn deaths
- Reduce unsafe abortion by 73 per cent
Investing in family planning enables faster economic growth in nations by changing the age structure and dependency ratio of a given population. Depending on what services are offered, each dollar spent on family planning can save government $4 in spending on health, housing, water, sewage and other public services. (Source: Achieving the Millennium Development Goals, May 2006).
But there is a donor gap when it comes to voluntary family planning at the same time that desire for it is growing. UNFPA estimates that contraception use may increase 30 percent over the next 15 years in order to fulfill current unmet needs.
Unprecedented action is required if we want to provide history's largest population of young people with the choices they need to shape a bright future – for themselves and their countries.

The summer holidays are here and many of us are working out the logistics of family trips away, packing for sunshine (we hope!) with bulging suitcases, trying to work out what is indeed 'essential' and what can be left at home. These are a few products that I have discovered this year, that we won't be leaving home without! Continue reading
Mumsnet Miscarriage Care Campaign (Is it enough?)
Straight off, let's be clear, I am 100% behind the Mumsnet Miscarriage Care campaign… Time and again we work with parents who have been treated with such a lack of compassion ,that quite frankly, it is inhumane.
BabyBjorn One Review
Last year I was fortunate to attend the launch of BabyBjorn's latest offering to baby wearing in the form of The Baby Carrier One. I was intrigued by what I saw as a move away from the traditional carriers that BabyBjorn have always been synonymous with and took the opportunity to really explore the carrier and also talk to the designer.

Car accidents, Car insurance and a review of Diono carseats
Just before Christmas, I was involved in a car accident just a couple of miles from home. Steph and Brock (then just 4 months old) were in the car with me. Driving up a country lane, we were confronted by a pick-up truck coming around a corner at speed, across the middle of the road, towing a large trailer. We stopped in plenty of time, but he was going too fast and we had to sit there and watch as he braked, skidded and then hit us head on. The impact was forcible and resulted in our car being written off.
My Birth Story – The Birth of Brock
After the birth of my first child, my son, I had been left feeling like I'd had no real role, like a spare part, and feeling guilty about not knowing how to support Steph through the birth… It was this experience which led to me founding DaddyNatal so other men got the support and information they needed to be the birth partner they wanted to be.
Several years down the road, this is the story of the birth of our third child, born at home, from my dad's perspective.
Fathers Day, what does it mean for expectant dads?
A couple of years ago, I was running a DaddyNatal workshop in Peterborough which was being filmed for BBC's The One Show, which happened to fall on Fathers Day. At the end of the workshop I gave all the dads a card to celebrate their first Fathers Day. Having just done the DaddyNatal workshop with me, they understood why I did it, but I know many who would have said 'Why did they get a card when they are not dads yet?' The point is, whether your baby has arrived already or is still waiting to arrive, you are already a parent, whether its a mum or a dad.
Stokke : The Dads Audit
Continuing the series on brands and dads, today I conducted my audit of Stokke to see if I felt they were using positive images of dads in their marketing and whether they were supporting their involvement. This is not about product review, this is about the company and their inclusion or not of dads in their marketing.
Before conducting the audit of their website I had a preconceived idea of what I expected to find and must confess I was wrong.
Busy Working Parents, a thought for today
I know this has done the rounds before, but in case you havent seen it, with the current pressures on all of us, I thought a good time to just give you pause for thought.
It is something Steph and I are always conscious of and we try and ensure that quality time for our children. Sometimes of course this is very difficult when you are also doing something you are so passionate about, or when you are working for yourself or doing a full time job to support your family.

A Daddy's Letter to His Little Girl (About Her Future Husband)
I had to post this letter up after it was pointed out to me by the lovely Natasha Phillips who writes at Researching Reform which is well worth a visit. She came across this letter on Dr Kelly Flannagans site. Read it and enjoy and maybe we will all bear the words and sentiments in mind when talking to our own daughters.
Altough written from a dads perspective to his little girl, I think so relevant for all parents. For our little girls yes, but also for our little boys who i'm sure we all wish to grow up to be that husband.

Changing Bags for Dads, Mia Tui Ascot
Changing bags for dads has always been a bit of a bug bear for me.

Cinnamon buns in the form of a cookie complete with the telltale swirly middles and powdered sugar icing. So cute and charming. Like mini cinnamon rolls. Minus all the work.
These are what you call "refrigerator" cookies. Just like cinnamon buns the vanilla cookie dough is rolled out into a rectangle and brushed with egg white then sprinkled all over with cinnamon sugar.
The dough gets rolled up, chilled well then sliced into cookies, baked and iced with a sweet and sticky glaze.
Kind of crispy around the edges with soft middles, they taste exactly like cinnamon buns.
My family was crazy for them. As was I. They disappeared faster than I would have liked.
Next time I'm baking a double batch!
Cinnamon buns in the form of a cookie complete with the telltale swirly middles and powdered sugar icing.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl beat together the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla on medium speed about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the flour and stir until the dough comes together. Flatten into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 1 hour or until well chilled.
- Lightly flour a piece of parchment or waxed paper and roll the dough into a 9x12-inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg white and water together until foamy. In a separate small bowl whisk the sugar and cinnamon together. Brush the egg white all over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over top.
- Starting with a long edge roll the dough carefully into a log sealing the edge with the egg white. Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment and freeze until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease or line 2 cookies sheets with parchment or silpats. Use a sharp knife to gently cut the log into 1/2-inch slices. Transfer them to the baking sheets and bake 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove to wire racks to cool.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium-sized bowl and whisk in the cream and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies or use a piping bag or baggie with the corner cut off to decorate.

WASHINGTON - A local teen's clothing choice is causing a dress-code related ruffle.
Rockville High School freshman Laura Woche received some attention this week when her top, paired with leggings, did not reach her fingertips, NBC 4 reports.
The high school's dress code policy states "leggings or stockings worn as pants" are not permitted.
"My friends that go to other schools, they wear whatever they want every day. I feel like it's still a little unfair that we have such a strict rule," says Woche.
NBC 4 reports the school told Woche she could either put on an oversized sweater or leave school for the day. Woche's mother pulled Woche out of school for the remainder of the week.
Rockville's dress policy was instituted by parents and school administrators.
"They gave their input and their support, and that's the voice of the parents," says Rockville High School Principal Dr. Debra Munk.
Munk says for now she does not plan to change the school dress code. The dress policy also prohibits baseball caps and pajamas.
Do you think leggings worn as pants is appropriate attire for students? Where should schools draw the line, if at all? Let us know what you think on WTOP's Facebook page.

I've been recently modifying some sentences in the Catalan-Valencian version.
I think it's a hard task, and RTM Team should ask for "official" and qualified help to AVL (http://www.avl.gva.es/), IEC (http://www.iec.cat), Termcat (http://www.termcat.cat/) and SoftCatalà (http://www.softcatala.org/), among others.
There are some issues to take into account:
- The current quality of the Catalan translation for RTM is not good, as there are some strong incoherences (different words for the same English concept, use of both infinitive and present tenses for expressing an action to be taken, etc.). There are even some sentences in Spanish!
- Dual translations for Catalan vs Valencian versions: "Avui / Hui" (for "Today"), "Sortir / Eixir" (for "Exit") and "aquesta / esta" (for "this"), among others, should be considered. I think it's important to take this into account. Catalan-Valencian is not only for Catalonia. There are also Valencian-Catalan speakers and users in Valencia (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valencian).

Europe and the "Arabellion" in 2012
"spotlight europe" takes stock of past events, coming challenges
Ever since the Tunisian fruit vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire on December 17, 2010, the Arab world has been in an uproar. As of today, the "Arabellion", as the German media have dubbed the unrest, has toppled leaders in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen, and the Assad regime in Syria has become unstable.
Publication examines coming challenges
Dedicated to the topic of "Europe and the Arabellion in 2012," the current issue of the Bertelsmann Stiftung's "spotlight europe" takes stock of recent happenings in the Middle East and looks at the challenges Arab-European relations will face in the coming year. For Europe, the Arab Spring must be seen as an opportunity. After all, the EU needs to do more to coordinate its activities and promote basic democratic values, both at home and vis-à-vis its new partners. The cooperation practiced by Europe's states in the form of the EU can serve as a prime example, especially for the Arab world, of how it is possible to start over as a democracy.
A brief look back
The Arab Spring achieved quite a bit in 2011, including the feeling of pan-Arab democracy, communicated via the Internet, along with a renaissance in civil society, the relaunch of numerous political parties and the advent of free elections.
In 2012, political parties in the Arab world will be impacted by the degree to which religion plays a role in national constitutions. How much of this influence the new political structures can bear remains to be seen. Paradoxically, the Arab world's secular revolts brought Islamist parties to power for the first time. In Tunisia, for example, the region's model country when it comes to political restructuring, the moderate Islamist Ennahda party emerged as the victor after elections for the country's constitutional assembly. Together with secular partners, it is now taking on governmental responsibilities.
No regime change in other Arab countries
Many countries are likely to experience rebellions, however. The monarchies in Morocco and Jordan have therefore begun introducing structural changes based on partial, long-term reforms. At the same time, Saudi Arabia's monarchy, the sultan of Oman, the amirs of Qatar and Kuwait and the president of the United Arab Emirates have a better chance of implementing reforms and increasing political participation. Although the Arab Spring has stalled in these countries, it has escalated and become violent in Bahrain, Yemen, Libya and Syria. These countries now face the challenge of creating a new political order based on free elections and equal participation, thereby bringing an end to the violence through the rule of law.
Europe's role
Europe has a range of tools at its disposal for efficiently supporting partner states in the Arab world. In September, for example, the EU agreed as part of its Neighbourhood Policy to implement four new programs designed to help Arab states transform themselves and thereby achieve the following goals:
- Promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law
- Increase the focus on partnerships with civil society
- Offer greater financial assistance
- Conclude a comprehensive free-trade agreement with Arab states

Now if they could get around to making some Guyver Revoltechs...
I''ve read the manga and the changes made to the OVA adaptation are SO much for the better.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed.

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

During this afternoon's Kentucky-Louisville tilt, CBS cut away for a moment to show a clip, from November 29, of senior Kentucky Senator and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell giving a speech on the Senate floor praising Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich. Politicians rarely fare well on social media when appearing on screen during sporting events, but this time the reaction from the digital crowd was less overt, horrifying racism and more one of University of Kentucky partisanship and suggesting that Mitch McConnell looks like a turtle. Fun! If these results are any indication, CBS pretty much screwed McConnell for the next midterm election.

Degree Programs
Economics is a powerful tool for scholars and educational practitioners who wish to develop a better understanding of educational institutions and decisions. The program in Economics and Education at Teachers College was one of the first of its kind and has maintained its position of leadership in this rapidly growing field.
Graduates hold teaching positions in university and college faculties, and administrative or research positions in a variety of settings, including foundations, government departments, and international agencies. Increasingly, schools and universities are appointing economists with a special appreciation of educational goals and procedures to conduct institutional research. Some have gone into private business.
Students in the program develop an array of skills in the application of economic concepts and theory, in benefit-cost analysis and other evaluative procedures, and in the statistical treatment of mass data. Within broad college and university guidelines, students may pursue individually designed programs that satisfy their unique interests and career objectives.
With the help of an academic advisor, students select courses from those offered within the program of economics and education and supplement these with courses outside the department, including courses offered in other schools of Columbia University.
Master of Arts in Economics and Education (ECON)
The objective of the 32-point Program in Economics and Education is to equip educational professionals and policy-makers with the skills required for the effective design and implementation of educational policy. The program has a strong emphasis on the financial, managerial, and developmental challenges facing educational institutions in developing countries and economies in transition.
The program can be completed within one year and is highly focused to accommodate the demands of promising professionals and policy-makers. The course of study is designed to convey the lessons of educational research and practice as well as management science through the intensive study of actual educational policy successes and failures. The curriculum of the program assumes that students possess some measure of intellectual maturity and exposure to the problems of educational policy-making.
The program begins in September and concludes in August of the following year. It consists of two semesters and a summer session.
The curriculum of the program aims to:
- build students' technical competence in the basic tools of educational management and policy making;
- provide the academic and professional environment for students to apply these skills; and
- educate students about the global educational landscape, including current thinking on educational reform and the financing of education.
In order to achieve these goals, the program begins in September with an intensive two-semester session in which students are taught skills that are essential building blocks for their career development. The program is skills-oriented and students will be asked to take courses in three topics: economic analysis and research skills, statistical tools for policy-makers, and management skills for educational policy. In addition to these three topics, students, in collaboration with their faculty advisor, will design their own programs of study in five areas of concentration:
Economic and Financial Policy Analysis in Education:
This concentration covers the fundamentals of cost-benefit analysis in education, fiscal accountability, and the principles and practice of financial educational policy.
Human Capital and Labor Markets:
The various impacts of human capital on labor market outcomes are studied in this concentration. Methods of estimating rates of return to education are examined, and case studies on the demand for education are presented.
Education and Economic Development:
Current trends and challenges facing international educational development are discussed in this concentration. It offers a cross-national, comparative analysis of school finance and the role of education on economic development.
Privatization and the Governance of Educational Systems:
This concentration provides a comprehensive discussion of alternative governance systems in education and their impact on student achievement and other educational outcomes. Decentralization, school choice, and vouchers are discussed, among others.
Economics and Finance of Higher Education:
This concentration focuses on the analysis of higher education institutions and the financing of tertiary education, including coverage of cost recovery in higher education institutions, community colleges, financial aid, and equity issues.
A student may also pursue a Master of Arts program in Economics and Education, without a concentration in Educational Policy. The student will design that program under the guidance of the academic advisor.
Master of Education in Economics and Education (ECON)
This 60-point program is intended for individuals interested in the applications and practices in the economics of education. The program is flexible and is designed by the student, under the guidance of the academic advisor.
Please note: It is strongly recommended that applicants have a graduate degree in a related field prior to applying to the Master of Education (M.E./Ed.M.) program.
Doctor of Philosophy in Economics and Education (ECON)
This 75-point program is intended for individuals who want to acquire advanced training in the theory, methods, and practices in the economics of education. It is a selective program to prepare individuals for leadership roles in teaching, research, or administrative settings.
The coursework for this program consists of three parts: core courses, courses in research methods, and courses in a specialized area of study, such as higher education, early childhood education, field experimentation, or a regional focus.

The beauty of the word toffee is that its meaning is constantly evolving. It means what you want it to mean and more importantly what you need it to mean at any given moment. The buck wild flavor sauce to any English sentence.

Supporter of by far the most emphatic team in the beautiful game. Hater of Kopites. Trustworthy by definition, these honourable lads and ladies forge a belief in what is possible through sheer determination and style: a class that can never be matched by the cheap nouveau riche red shite. Toffees are people of directness, unparalleled by any, not afraid to speak out in the name of truth and integrity. The wrongs of Europe will be righted. It is only a matter of time and belief.

A toffee is a purpose made drink that is half coffee and half tea. It is very big on the continent at the moment and is very refreshing to drink.
"what would you like to drink sir?"
"do you have anything refreshing?"
"have you tried a toffee sir?"
"a toffee?"
"its half tea and half coffee sir"
"oh yes please, two sugars and leave the bag in!"

That politically incorrect beverage originating from adding coffee to your partly brewed cup of tea. Usually prepared in the morning, whilst still half asleep, toffee is yet to hit the supermarket shelves.
well, you can imagine my plutz as I took a large mouthful of what I expected to be coffee, but it turned out to be toffee..and I had used the last of the sugar!

Working to end violence against women in its many forms
Follow our social media coverage on Twitter & Facebook
Watch live video of CSW57 here
Scroll down to see our Storify recap
Because of its scale, multiple manifestations and impacts, violence against women and girls constitutes a major public health, as well as human rights, challenge. UNFPA takes a leadership role in addressing such violence, in its many forms, because it jeopardizes the reproductive health and well-being of women and girls in many situations.
Some of the ways in which gender-based violence compromises sexual and reproductive health include:
- Threats and coercion within intimate partner relationships that restrict women's access to contraception and other forms of reproductive care.
- Sexual violence is exacerbated in conflict and disaster contexts. The chaos and a breakdown in social structures often leads to increased lawlessness, risk of abuse, and lack of access to critical and appropriate care.
- Every day, 37,000 girls are married before age 18, and often much younger, which puts their health at risk, undermines their chances of getting an education and limits their options.
- More than 3 million girls face the prospect of female genital mutilation or cutting, a practice with serious immediate and long-term health effects and a clear violation of fundamental human rights.
- More than 600 million women live in countries where domestic violence is not considered a crime, and even where it is illegal, perpetrators often go unpunished.
UNFPA Executive Director statement for International Women's Day.
Preventing abuse from happening, and addressing the outcomes as early as possible are at the core of UNFPA's work in these priority areas.
- Policy making and legal protection
- Collecting and analyzing data
- Addressing GBV through sexual and reproductive health programs
- Building violence prevention into humanitarian responses in conflict and natural disasters
- Reaching out to adolescents and youth
- Sending messages to men and boys about gender equality and zero tolerance for abuse
- Joining hands with faith-based networks and traditional cultural leaders
- Sharpening the focus on the most vulnerable and marginalized people
UNFPA is active in this year's Commission on the Status of Women, playing a sponsoring role in more than a dozen side events.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Hinata Hyuuga
Sakura Haruno
Sakura, obviously.
Why did this thread have to draw out the uneducated NaruHina fans that can't use full sentences...or even words..? ;_;
in all manga/anime there is much more development of feelings between Naruto and Sakura then Naruto and Hinata - Naruto hasnt already thank her about her confession (Pain Arc), he prefered to be hug by Sakura. Im not a fan of any pairing I only see what is more possible and the MOST POSSIBLE to happen is NaruSaku, there is more emotional development, background history, etc. than NaruHina
Good ? But I'd prefer Hinata. Sakura miss it by a long shot (Who knows, she might get a 2nd chance).
In the fight bewteen Nagato and Naruto, hinata try to save Naruto one thing Sakura din't do.
Hinata's so sweet & has loved Naruto from the start.. but it wouldn't be bad having a Sakura-Naruto pairing either. i think he'd be better off single ^^
Hinata would murder her.
Hinata love Naruto for the first sight...the is real love,kak
im not a naruhina fan but...imagine a child with 9 tails power AND a byakugan
oh and sakura is only starting to like naruto bcuz her sasuke isnt there (dontcha just hate rebound girls)
Hinata .. Sakura's got the super chakra release crap with her punches but other than that .. and healing crap she ain't got much.
Hopefully Danzo stays Hokage and makes them *****es train day and night to perfect hella jutsus. Taijutsu + healing Ninjutsu is getting boring, specially for Naruto.
I`ll vote Sakura.
I`m a die hard NaruSaku fan;
But nothing against NaruHina.
I wish that couple good luck. =)
The battle for love .
We know that Naruto likes Sakura, so if she likes him back, then we know he is going to go for her. I think Hinata is awesome for trying to help Naruto during the battle against pein, but I don't think it will be enough to win Naruto's heart.

I hope not,but it`s kinda biased from my part.xD
NaruSaku would be just soo unfair..
That sweet little hinata 'should' and 'deserve' to win naruto over is completely irrelivant, that's not how love works. If Kishimoto choose to make Naruto end up with Hinata it should be because that's the vision he has, not because the overwhelming amount of Naruhina-fans that wants it their way. Still, I think Kishi has manage to write in lines with how complicated love is - if it's Sakura in the end it would not be surprising, it wouldn't be wrong either. Romance isn't just being nice and pleasant
The general arguements for NaruHina so far have tended to be:
"She'll be a good housewife"
"She doesn't punch Naruto"
"she haz bigger boobs lol :P"
"She's always loved Naruto"
...so in summary, the majority of the people on this forum would prefer Naruto to end up with his stalker, that "loves" him, because she'll be a good little woman, stay in her place, cook his food, and be more appealing visually?
Love isn't about that. Naruto & Sakura share a sense of humour, a deeper bond. There's tension, arguements, passion. Being passionate about something makes you stronger, it makes a relationship more worthy. It's been hinted at that Sakura likes Naruto, right from the start of the manga, even in Part 1, at many points. Naruto and her are just similar and different enough to work. She's helped him improve, he's helped her see people for what they really are.
Naruto will likely be the key to showing Hinata the way to come out of her shell. Confidence in herself. Just because he doesn't hook up with her doesn't make what they've had less relevant. He's played an important part in her life, in letting her become a real person. She'll realise that, and get over him. She knows Naruto and Sakura are good for each other too, she won't interfere if something happens. Hinata won't become a lonely spinster living in memory of an unrequited love, don't worry about that.
NaruHina & SakuSasu are supposed to be examples of girls falling for someone without real reason, from what I've seen. So that when they grow older, they're able to realise that, and become more mature because of it.
Very true, there's passion between Sakura and Narito. It's not mindless punching I couldn't say it better myself. I've never considered the relation Hinata has with Naruto to be love rather then an idolization. Hinata idolize naruto and she has grown alot because of him, it's only natural that she is willing to risk her life protecting naruto, protecting what someone that stands for what she admires and wants to become. Maybe I seem cold for thinking it's not real love but there's plenty of connections with this kind of love to the real world. Heck just look at what happened after Michael Jackson died. Many of his fans to commited suidide because what they admired no longer existed. With this said I do think you understand when I tell you I can't agree with that the NaruHina falling in love part is without reason. Naruto embodies everything she admires and that's a pretty valid reason. Still, the reason why I think this is not true love but an idolization is because there's no passion, just admiration. If Hinata was an actual person she would indeed grow from this and eventually find true love rather then feeling empty and fading away
hinata and if naruto chooses sakura hinata will beat sakura up
with her 3rd leg
Sakura Naruto already loves her.
Sakura friendzoned Naruto.
Therefore she is a ****, but on the other hand, breaking out of it would be awesome.
And why would Naruto give Hinata a chance when he himself never even got one?
Do naruhina fans even read their own writing lol? It always sounds like bunch of crazy fan girlish non sense. I'm fine with Naruhina if they had a little more foundation. But lets try to remember that Naruto has not given any signal notation of romance towards Hinata, not one. Since the beginning theres one girl that has his heart,and its Sakura. Sorry that people relate to the Naruhina story, and want to believe in it, I certainly do. However its so one-sided and relationship is about both sides, Sakura and Naruto have both given hints that they love each other, Naruto especially. But of course theres more Naruhina fans in America so a poll like this trivial. Even though not as true in Japan.
Also stop saying Sakura doesn't deserve Naruto because he hits him, its really annoying. Canon-wise almost all couples the girl has hit the guy, Winry use to knock out Edward all the time in FMA, one of my favorite anime couples, Gohan and Videl, Inuyasha and Kagome. Non-canon wise, IchiRuki is one of my favorites and Rukia hits Ichigo all time as well.....so welcome to the anime world.
Also the other argument I hate is that Hinata saved Naruto, so she deserves him. I mean come on, Sakura could not see that Naruto was about to maybe lose, and also the fact that Naruto told Sakura that he would take care everything. Sakura has so much trust and faith in Naruto, not once in her mind did she think he was going to lose.
In the end Naruhina might happen theres no arguing that, but if it happened right now, then I'd say Kishi forced it, because Naruhina honestly has a bad story with very little substance from a literary standpoint.

Sakura for sure.
Kushina didn't like Minato when she met him at all when she first saw him so that argument about Sakura not liking Naruto at the start is irrelevant.
At the last manga it is obvious that hinata is always at the right back of naruto she is not the heroin but did much contribution for naruto's heart.... i love hinata as much as she loves naruto....i will marrinade all my stuff all in inside hinata
