I was just saying that it would be pretty cool that Zetsu was a grass ninja, mostly because of the lack of ninjas from that village, but yeah, now I know for sure he's not from any village.
im never in favor of kish pulling content out the ass to satisfy plot short comings, but ive been hoping to see the 3rd in his prime, there have been more than a few suitable opportunities. the "god of ninja" title still bothers me. what did he even do as hokage, other than just barely warding off Oros assault? firstly, who cares, sharingan are for sharing secondly, people have indeed been saying that for a good while
Trained the legendary Sanin? Pulled the village together after Minato's death? And you say barely ward off Oro, I say gave up his life to stop him from undoubtedly destroying the village that day with his edo tensei(something that the Third also put an end to) . Let's not understate the guy's accomplishments because his genetics aren't talked about every other chapter. The real question is what did the second Hokage ever do besides create a dangerous tool for the most twisted minds in the Naruto universe.
I lol'd at the uses. And why is the hair color wrong? Even the most die-hard/insane Naruto enthusiasts wouldn't buy this.
oh? like Orochimaru, the only threat thats remained since the story began. and then failing to kill him, and supposedly 'sealing off his arms' (and the edo tensei was an isolated incident Oro intended for his sensei). because the sannin didnt cause irreparable damage. minato stopped the nine tails, the 3rd simply assumed the position after he died. he hardly had any influence on the council members, who seems to call the shots in this era of naruto where a god on ninja means large scale hax jutsu, he doesnt line up.
'Training the Sannin' shouldn't really count as an accomplishment. For one, it's basically taking credit for what others did. For another, for a good part of their lifetimes, the Sannin offered nothing to Konoha. Jiraiya went off to write porn, helping them out when it suited him. Tsunade went traveling and drinking herself silly. And Orochimaru...well, you know. I think the God of Ninja thing was just a courtesy to keep an old man feeling good about himself.
But the sanin obviously helped the village win several battles. He also prepared Tsunade for the Hokage seat, and lets not pretend she has done a bad job. Besides everything else, only in Naruto is sacrificing your life to permanently seal away two of the most powerful ninja ever from evil usage considered mediocre.
actually, ok, he did seal the 1st and 2nd. and thank god for that though, only now is sealing them that significant
has anyone ever addressed out of the 5 current Kages, Mei Terumi the Mizukage has no back story whatsoever. Her dead predecessors have a better background than her. Now she's pretty much near dead and all we know about her is that she was never hitched.
so cut and dry, one of the worst chapters of the series imo horrible misplaced humor, and exciting new plot holes! how many times is Obito going to loose his right arm? destroyed by: amaterasu, danzo's subordinates, konan explosion, first giant rock, second giant rock, and a rasengan from both father and son though i think with minato it was the left, which makes no fucking sense since it dripped off as if it was made of the cells from the right side
The chapter wasnt that bad..., it helped explain the "Tobi" personality we saw earlier in the series ( he really was a good boy), Obito hair growing shows that the long haired "Tobi" was him. And the relationship and explanation of the White Zetsus and Obito was developed at that point. Although its never explained why the Zetsu's have such a goofy personality, I guess Hashirama was more fun loving then he looks.
Did fusing with Zetsu give Obito their transformation powers? If so that would explain his appearance at several points in the story. However it still doesn't make sense the way Tobi and Zetsu acted earlier in the series. Unless Madara erased their memories of each other, lol.
You're right about it being a plot hole, but maybe the Zetsu training Obito isn't the same one who joined the Akatsuki. There are thousands of this guy, so anything is possible, ha ha ha
I suppose. I was under the impression they all shared past experiences, but I guess not. The plot is moving so slowly now, almost as slow as Gantz right now lol.
Maybe we'll finally find out why he felt the need to infiltrate his own organization who the key members already knew was him (or the person he was pretending to be anyway)
I had a feeling that the spiral Zetsu we saw in the previous chapter had something to do with Obito's 'Tobi' mask. Could it be that Spiral Zetsu and Obito would end up sharing the same body through the mask? That could also explain why he acted the way he did when he was Tobi and why Zetsu's and "Obito's" relationship in the beginning of Shippuden seemed a bit different as compared to now. I'm starting to think that Spiral Zetsu's name is Tobi. Either that or Obito was just in the Déjà vu mood and wanted to act the way he did when he was a kid, lol.
"Tobi is a good boy" possibly referred to at one point the Tobi creature we see in this chapter. Tobi and Obito are being developed as different individuals now, so where one begins and another ends will undoubtedly be revealed. Afterall its never said if the man Naruto unmasked is in fact Obito or this Tobi persona that has merged with his body at the end of this chapter, they evidently have been spying on Kakashi and Rin whilst Obito is still within Madara's cave.
ok so i 'reread' it, not as bad this time though long hair Obito reminds me of Wrath from the original FMA anime/non-manga version no OP this week?
Bleach is a joke at this point. I read an opinion that the reality is Aizen is behind this whole thing and everyone is still fighting in the fake Karakuru town, and it honestly wouldn't surprise me too much.
you know, i almost expect it. this arc has been to out of character for its mangaka speaking of joke manga, i think im done with Naruto and switching strictly to Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth for my ninja fill. and boy does it deliver
I've actually been watching the anime for it and its pretty good. Its full of pop culture references that are often relevant, they took a swing at the annoyance of airport security and had one early episode that was surprisingly feminist and progressive.
meh i don't think ill go for that, i enjoy the drawing aspect of it. you right that its somewhat progressive in that area (even though its gag manga) i like that Tenten has perspective over everything as the sane one. the females seem to be the more serious ones and come off as strong leads, what a flip right? the Lee and Gai-fased ANBU masks still make me laugh. and then the byakugan and the penis jokes lol
Obviously, there is more to this, we just don't know what yet. There is precisely zero chance that Kakashi murdered her intentionally, not with how ball-less Kishi has been with handling tragedy lately. I half expect for Rin's ghost to appear at some point and say that Obito shouldn't be mad and that she forgives him and all that shit. Also I wonder if Kishi planned this out. Because Obito blamed Kakashi for letting Rin die, not for killing her.
I remember when I first started posting here that I claimed Kakashi was the root of every single conflict in this series - turns out I was right. I lol'd at the end of this chapter.
experimental bodies this will one of only several ways. good, now all Kakashi needs is a nice face wound to celebrate the occasion and we have our reason for his never showing face. i appreciate Kish showing a story rather than explaining it but if he intended Obito to see the result from Kakashi's eye, Obito shouldn't have bee there (unless they share sight only when within a certain proximity) blah blah
Remember a long long time ago during the original test of Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura that Kakashi said if you were captured you could be ordered to have one teammate kill another? I remember he asked one of them to kill another. This probably happened. I'm highly interested in what's going to happen.
this is clearly Madara playing a trick on Obito to get the kid on his side. My guess is Kakashi and Rin are just his Zetsu clones in disuse
One Piece Why is Law getting his ass kicked? He has complete control of the space within his Room. Why doesn't he literally tear Vergo apart? Seperate his fingers so that he can't use them to crush his heart. If he's using Haki, then Law can still keep him at a distance by constantly teleporting himself out of Vergo's reach or something, since he doesn't seem to have any projectile attacks. Man, Law was such a tard, giving away his heart.
I rather enjoyed the fight this week in One Piece. Is it just me or does Law look like Ace when he's not wearing his hat, ha ha ha
Wow Bleach pulled a crappy scapegoat to fake the death of Bach, but made up for it with a reference to Aizen. Hope he comes back.
Bleach had the asspull of the century this week. Possibly THE worst chapter i've ever read of it. Kubo created two new characters within the space of two pages and killed one of them off on the eighth just to save the central antagonist's neck.
I knew you'd quote me on Bleach one of these days. (You've triggered my...!) But yeah seriously man, one of the all time worst. What're you reading now oh Bearded one?
These were precisely my thoughts. He already softened the tradegy with Gaara, Itachi, and Haku. No way something as dark as this is going down without bs. Although it would be pretty pathetic if all Obito has done up to this point was based on a trick by Madara or something. And lol Bleach. Wtf was the point of mentioning Aizen if he wasn't going to play any part? Only a matter of time until Aizen reveals he planned the quincy's arrival when they were born guys.
some of the new ones: Life is Money - a bit like judge and doubt but more stylized and with more anime-y characters Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei - my favorite new manga... kind of like a more serious MX0, VERY good, great protagonist, great setting, etc.. Not Lives - a little bit accel world-esque Over Image - a little bit not lives, a little bit kampfer (but not as echi, and no gender swapping) Renai Boukun - pretty fun twist on a generic oft repeated harem scenario.. the twist beign that 1 of the girls in yandere and wants to murder ever other girl attracted to the guy... will probably turn to crap, but early on it is pretty funny Shounen yo Taishi o Dake! - lots of sex lol, the main character is just gettign laid like crazy... it is fun to read after all the indecisive shy BS you have to plow through when reading other manga.... it's a bit cathartic Takamagahara - starts off like beelzebub meets barihaken and is now moving in a bit of hunter x hunter direction (kind of) Usotsuki Mi-kun to Kowareta Ma-chan Totteoki no Uso - a lovey dovey story about 2 former kidnappign victims you now kidnap children and commits murders lol
so luffy is now stuck in the garbage compactors on the detention level, while the others are owned by the younglings. meanwhile Law is exceedingly weak with the force and Hitler came to claim Aizen. weren't we just joking about this possibility?
A little interesting twist that will likely spice the flashback up enough for me not to kill myself before it's over
I do agree, but I need explanation. The second he explains this, another question will arise, making what seems like many plot holes. If Kakashi sees Obito now, he will know he did not die. But how will he not see him? I'm sure Obito will jump in guns a blazing. Next week on Naruto.....
I predict the next 5-10 chapters being flashbacks. I should have known that Kishi would've made Tobi as Obito and not someone more interesting like Izuna — just so he can do what he does best, lots and lots of flashbacks, but this time, take it to a whole new level, FLASHBACK EPISODES...maybe even a flashback movie! By the time the flashbacks are over, the fight...the war will be Boring No Jutsu'd, and it will be Talk No Jutsus from that point on...bla bla bla...and Naruto becomes Hokage bla bla bla...and has a child with Hinata and names her...bla bla bla... and she will later on earn the nickname Flashback, because she likes to flash her backside to stun people(inherit's Naruto's somewhat perverseness).......nah! It's just from Kishi's relentless flashblacks. Anyways...I wonder what are Madara's special Mangekyo powers, and if Sasuke has any of his own and not just Itachi's. Speaking of Madara, do you think he revived Izuna shortly after he awakened the Rinnegan and that is who he gave his eyes to?
Kishi should've wrote Naruto in a "how I met your mother" style narration. He should've been the hokage and said, "now here's how I became hokage..."

Are Your Canned Foods Safe to Eat?: A BPA-Free Buying Guide
Posted By Mark Sisson On January 12, 2012 @ 8:00 am In Health,Raising Healthy Children | 131 Comments
By now, you're undoubtedly aware of BPA [7], or bisphenol A, and its ubiquitous presence in can liners, plastics, and even receipts. I wrote about its status as a xenoestrogen [8] with the ability to interact with hormonal receptors in animal bodies, as well as its potentially deleterious effects on humans – especially tiny growing humans – and the general takeaway is that avoiding BPA as much as possible is in all our best interests. We can't avoid everything, but we can do a fairly good job of it. Luckily, the consumers (that's you) have spoken up loud enough to get companies to pay attention to the way they line their cans so that while BPA remains a pervasive issue, more and more BPA-free products are being introduced. This is good, but which ones are BPA-free isn't always evident. Grocery stores don't generally have a BPA-free section (how awesome would that be?) and some (like Trader Joe's) don't even put the label on their products.
Hence this post. What follows is my attempt at a comprehensive BPA-free list of commonly sought-after Primal foods. I tried to shoot for products that are widely available online, but I wasn't always able. You'll also note that I stuck to Primal-friendly foods; I didn't think mentioning the latest BPA-free can of fried gluten with peanuts [9] made much sense, ya know? In any case, here's the list!
Obviously, the best BPA-free coconut product is the coconut [10] itself. Mother nature has always used BPA-free lining (she was way ahead of the curve), so you can safely eat fresh coconut and coconut oil [11] and make coconut milk from the fresh meat and you'll be fine. But not everyone has ready access to fresh coconut, nor does everyone have the time (or the machete) to open up a coconut and process it into milk. For everyone else, the historic go-to option for coconut products has almost invariably come in a can lined with ample amounts of BPA. Not anymore:
Native Forest Coconut Milk
BPA-free and proud of it, Native Forest offers an organic coconut milk widely available for sale in bulk via Amazon [12]. I've never tried it myself, but the reviews – as you can see from the Amazon link – are quite mixed. They apparently source the coconuts from various locales, with Thailand producing the best milk and Sri Lanka producing inferior milk. Again, I don't know personally, but keep that in mind before you order two dozen cans.
Aroy-D Coconut Milk and Cream
My personal favorite, Aroy-D [13], comes straight from Thailand (which has the best coconuts, in my opinion) and contains nothing but coconut and water. The tetra-pak versions are completely BPA-free, and the best product is the large quart sized box of coconut cream (which you can treat like a higher-fat milk), but the milk, which comes in both quart and single-serving sizes, is also delicious (but a bit lower in fat [14], about 2 grams per serving worth). I get mine at the local Asian supermarkets for about 3 bucks a quart.
Trader Joe's Light Coconut Milk
I had to call and confirm with the manager of my local Trader Joe's, but these cans do not contain BPA. The only downside is that they contain "light" coconut milk, which means they have a lower fat content. Not so great for curries, but pretty good for drinking straight or making smoothies. They're also free of thickeners or weird gums.
Coconut Cream Concentrate in a glass jar
It ain't milk, but sources say that adding warm water to the coconut cream concentrate will produce a rich, creamy coconut milk. And it's a glass jar, so you don't have to worry about BPA at all (though I suppose the lid might have it). Here are US [15] and Canadian [16] links. International shipping is available through the US site [17], too.
If you remember from that older BPA post, canned tomato is one of the worst offenders when it comes to BPA exposure. It's highly acidic, making BPA in cans "essential." And yet, tomato is a wonderful, even essential food. So – what to do? Bite the BPA-emblazoned bullet and eat them anyway? No. You can can your own tomatoes [18], but other, safer commercial options are out there:
Pomi Chopped Tomatoes
Pomi Chopped Tomatoes [19], out of Italy (where I hear they know a thing or two about tomatoes), comes in a BPA-free tetra-pak. Word on the street is that although they aren't certified organic, they are in everything but name.
Bionaturae Tomato Paste and Strained Tomatoes
This is the brand I currently use. The paste [20] is incredible – it comes in a glass jar (with a BPA-free lid, which is an important point that some people miss, especially when dealing with acidic, BPA-leaching foods like tomatoes; not all glass jars use BPA-free lids), contains nothing but tomatoes, and can be eaten (and often is) straight out of the jar. These are a bit dangerous, because they're somewhat pricey and I can easily eat an entire jar in a sitting. Maybe I should say "standing," because I usually find myself polishing one off while I'm cooking in the kitchen. I've taken to stocking up on these. The strained tomatoes [21] are also good and come in similarly BPA-free packaging. Members of Tropical Traditions can get better deals in bulk [22], I believe. I highly recommend this brand.
Ah, the sardine. So delicious and nutritious and sustainable and free of mercury and yet so difficult to find fresh. Canned versions abound, but they're all full of BPA… right? Not so fast. Other options exist:
Wild Planet Tuna and Sardines
My local Costco just started carrying BPA-free Wild Planet albacore tuna, skipjack tuna, and sardines. I've heard a lot of good things about Wild Planet, but it wasn't until recently that I actually tried the products. They're fantastic. Both the albacore and the skipjack are line and troll-caught, which is a sustainable method of procuring smaller, tastier tuna with less mercury than regular tuna. They're both high in DHA and EPA [23], with albacore clocking in at 2.3 g DHA and 720 mg EPA per can, and skipjack close behind with 928 mg DHA [24] and 285 mg EPA per can. The sardines are bone- and skin-in, providing hefty amounts of minerals alongside 885 mg DHA and 210 mg EPA. Oh, and they taste better than any similar product I've tried. Check out their offerings on Amazon [25]; international shipping can be handled by calling the company direct [26].
Update: Mark's Daily Apple reader Chris emailed Wild Planet to double check my personal experience as noted above and this is what they had to say:
Hello Chris,
Thank you for question about our products. Wild Planet aims to convert all of its canned products to cans with BPA-Free linings. We have successfully done so with all our sardine offerings. Our tuna products were marked BPA-free based on the manufacturer's certification that the can linings were formulated without BPA. Upon independent testing of these cans we found that while the level is very low there is some content of BPA in the product. We are working on this issue very actively right now and hope to have definitive information soon.
As for the salmon cans, there is no BPA-free lining available in Alaska and our attempts to make BPA-free salmon has not rendered good results. But we will keep trying.
Thank you for question and I hope this helps.
Thanks, Chris!
Trader Joe's (certain choices)
Most sources [27] I found suggest that Trader Joe's seafood comes in BPA-free cans, except for sardines, albacore, oysters [28], clams, and crab (though they are working to rectify that). So the various salmons [29] and tongol tuna, and maybe the anchovies (but I wouldn't bet on it) should be BPA-free (but ask a manager first).
Vital Choice Canned Seafood
Way back in 2008 [30], Vital Choice finally figured out how to make all their canned seafood items ship in BPA-free cans, but in 2009, Consumer Reports found trace amounts of BPA in Vital Choice tuna [31]. The company responded [32], including a section of mild apologism for BPA (which is worrying) and concluding with a declaration of intent to purge all BPA for good. What's the final word? I would avoid their tuna to be safe and stick to their salmon, sardines, and mackerel [33], which never tested positive for BPA [34].
Oregon's Choice Seafood
A small outfit out of (you guessed it) Oregon, Oregon's Choice [35] uses only BPA-free cans to store the tuna they obtain from trusted fishermen. Pretty pricey, but it seems to be of the utmost quality. Sadly, they don't claim that any of their other products are BPA-free, which almost certainly means they are not.
Add it to broth [36] for a nourishing quick soup, add some gelatin [37] and hot water to make a custard, add it to your dog's food [38] to prevent diarrhea, or just spoon it straight outta the can hobo-style. Sure, fresh pumpkin is great and not that time-consuming to prepare, actually, but there's nothing wrong with a quality canned item. Luckily, there are a couple BPA-free options out there, and another on the horizon:
Farmer's Market Foods Organic Canned Pumpkin
Certified BPA-free, decent online reviews, available from Amazon in bulk [39]. I haven't tried it myself, but it looks pretty good. They also carry canned sweet potato and butternut squash [40], all BPA-free.
Pacific Natural Pumpkin Puree
I picked up one of these tetra-paks over the holidays. We were making pumpkin custard and I didn't feel like peeling, cutting, and steaming a whole pumpkin, and I was about to grab the Whole Foods brand of canned pumpkin when I saw this. It's apparently quite new, so new that it's not even on the Pacific Natural website [41]. The custard turned out well.
Trader Joe's Canned Pumpkin
As of 2012, new cans should be BPA-free [42], but I wouldn't count on it just yet. To be sure, ask the manager of your local establishment.
Well, those are the big problem areas in the Primal community as I see it: coconut milk, tomatoes, canned seafood, and pumpkin (and other squashes). Heck, you could probably devise a pretty decent diet out of the aforementioned choices. You'd have your saturated fat, omega-3s [43], protein [44], sea minerals [45], soluble fiber [46], and antioxidant needs covered. It might not be optimal, but I'd argue that such a diet would be superior to most people's out there.
Before I wrap this up let me say that companies are changing their packaging all the time, so it's up to you to be diligent about which cans contain BPA and which do not. This article will age and it's possible that some of the recommendations I've made here will no longer be relevant in the future. Hopefully they still help you find what you are looking for, but just remember to check with the supplier before making your purchase.
Anyway, chime in with comments, tips, and links to other BPA-free products. Thanks for reading, and see you next time!

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then all the community {lifted up their voices}, and the people wept during that night. | 1 That night all the people of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. |
2 And all the {Israelites} grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and all the community said to them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt or in this desert! | 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, "If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this desert! |
3 Why did Yahweh bring us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little children will become plunder; would it not be better for us to return [to] Egypt?" | 3 Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn't it be better for us to go back to Egypt?" |
4 {They said to each other}, "Let us appoint a leader, and we will return [to] Egypt." | 4 And they said to each other, "We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt." |
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces {before} the assembly of the community of the {Israelites}. | 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. |
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, from the explorers [of] the land, tore their garments. | 6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes |
7 And they said to all the community of the {Israelites}, "The land that we went through to explore [is] an {exceptionally good land}. | 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. |
8 If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and he will give it to us, a land that [is] flowing [with] milk and honey. | 8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. |
9 Only do not rebel against Yahweh, and you will not fear the people of the land, because they will be our food. {Their protection} has been turned from them; Yahweh [is] with us. You should not fear them." | 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them." |
10 And all the community said to stone them with stones, but the glory of Yahweh appeared in the tent of assembly among the {Israelites}. | 10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites. |
11 And Yahweh said to Moses, "How long until this people will despise me, and how long until they will not believe in me, [and] in all the signs that I have done in their midst? | 11 The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them? |
12 I will strike them with disease, and I will dispossess them; I will make you into a greater and stronger nation than them." | 12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they." |
13 And Moses said to Yahweh, "Then the Egyptians will hear that you brought up this people from their midst in your power, | 13 Moses said to the LORD, "Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them. |
14 and they will {tell it} to the inhabitants of this land. They heard that you, Yahweh, [are] in the midst of this people, that you are seen eye to eye, and your cloud [is] standing over them, and in a column of cloud you go before them by day and in a column of fire [at] night. | 14 And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, O LORD, are with these people and that you, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. |
15 But if you destroy this people {all at once}, the nations that will have heard your message will say, | 15 If you put these people to death all at one time, the nations who have heard this report about you will say, |
16 'Yahweh was unable to bring this people in the land that he swore by an oath, and he slaughtered them in the desert.' | 16 'The LORD was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on oath; so he slaughtered them in the desert.' |
17 But now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, just has you spoke, | 17 "Now may the Lord's strength be displayed, just as you have declared: |
18 'Yahweh [is] {slow to anger} and great of loyal love, {forgiving} sin and rebellion; but surely he leaves nothing unpunished, visiting the sin of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generations.' | 18 'The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.' |
19 Please forgive the sin of this people according to the greatness of your loyal love, just as you {forgave} this people, from Egypt until now." | 19 In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now." |
20 Yahweh said, "I have forgiven [them] according to your word; | 20 The LORD replied, "I have forgiven them, as you asked. |
21 but as I [am] alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth. | 21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth, |
22 But because all the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the desert yet tested me these ten times and did not listen to my voice, | 22 not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times-- |
23 they will not see the land that I swore by oath to their ancestors, and all those who despised me will not see it. | 23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it. |
24 But my servant Caleb, because another spirit was with him, he remained true after me, and I will bring him into the land that {he entered}, and his offspring will take possession of it. | 24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. |
25 And the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; tomorrow turn and set out [for] the desert [by] way of the {Red Sea}." | 25 Since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea." |
26 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, | 26 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: |
27 "How long [will I bear] this evil community who are grumbling against me? I have heard the grumbling of the {Israelites} which {they are making} against me. | 27 "How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites. |
28 Say to them, 'Surely as I live,' {declares} Yahweh, 'just as you spoke {in my hearing}, so I will do to you; | 28 So tell them, 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very things I heard you say: |
29 in this desert your corpses will fall, and all your counted ones, according to all your number, from {twenty years old} and above who grumbled against me. | 29 In this desert your bodies will fall--every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. |
30 You [yourselves] will not come into the land that {I swore by oath} to make you to dwell in it, but Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. | 30 Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. |
31 But your little children, whom you said would be plunder, I will bring them, and they will know the land that you rejected. | 31 As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. |
32 But for you, all your corpses will fall in this desert. | 32 But you--your bodies will fall in this desert. |
33 And your children will be shepherds in the desert forty years, and you will bear your unfaithfulness until {all your corpses have fallen} in the desert. | 33 Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the desert. |
34 According to the number of the days that you explored the land, forty days, {a day for each year}, you will bear your sins forty years, and you will know my opposition.' | 34 For forty years--one year for each of the forty days you explored the land--you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.' |
35 I, Yahweh, have spoken; I will surely do this to all this evil community who has banded together against me. In this desert they will come to an end, and there they will die." | 35 I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this whole wicked community, which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this desert; here they will die." |
36 As for the men whom Moses sent to explore the land, who returned and made the community grumble against him by spreading a report over the land, | 36 So the men Moses had sent to explore the land, who returned and made the whole community grumble against him by spreading a bad report about it-- |
37 the men who spread the evil report of the land died by the plague {before Yahweh}. | 37 these men responsible for spreading the bad report about the land were struck down and died of a plague before the LORD. |
38 But Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh lived from [among] the men who went to explore the land. | 38 Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived. |
39 And Moses spoke words to all the {Israelites}, and the people mourned greatly. | 39 When Moses reported this to all the Israelites, they mourned bitterly. |
40 They rose early in the morning and went to the top of the mount, saying, "Here we are. We will go up to the place that Yahweh said, because we have sinned." | 40 Early the next morning they went up toward the high hill country. "We have sinned," they said. "We will go up to the place the LORD promised." |
41 But Moses said, "Why [are] you going against the command of Yahweh? It will not succeed. | 41 But Moses said, "Why are you disobeying the LORD's command? This will not succeed! |
42 You should not go up because Yahweh is not in your midst; do not let yourselves be defeated in the presence of your enemies, | 42 Do not go up, because the LORD is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies, |
43 because the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there {before you}, and you will fall by the sword; because you have turned [back] from Yahweh, and Yahweh will not be with you." | 43 for the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you there. Because you have turned away from the LORD, he will not be with you and you will fall by the sword." |
44 But they dared to go to the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and Moses did not depart from the midst of the camp. | 44 Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up toward the high hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the LORD's covenant moved from the camp. |
45 So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who were living on the mountain descended, and they beat them down, up to Hormah. | 45 Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah. |

Me, My Husband And My Baby: Who Owns My Breasts?
By Maureen
I nursed our daughter for 11 months, and it really did mean access-denied for my husband. Just as I suspected, I couldn't fathom switching from functionality to eroticism. There was no dual usage there. I was very sensitive to giving them back to him, for fear that any "activity" would prolong milk production. In truth, his access was revoked for at least a year if not a few months more. Slowly, though, life—and my body—returned to its previous state.
What about me? When do they become mine again? Probably when no one has any use for or wants to be within ten feet of them—when I'm 70. I kid. When you think about it, they've been mine all along, in a way. I certainly received pleasure from my husband's "use," while I definitely benefited from providing for and comforting my daughter. Turns out, they were a vessel for my own happiness all along.

Daniel_Stuckey (2647775) writes "Pot and video games have long been bound together in hazy, wedded bliss—as well as in compulsion and codependency. Many a World of Warcraft binger has been found in the darkest hours of the night with clouds of sweet, milk-white smoke curling around him, a bong next to the keyboard. But the way these lovers, games and weed, commingle has only rarely been studied, and when done so, usually exclusively in the context of substance abuse and how it relates to what is known as PVP: 'problem video game playing.'" Motherboard takes a different look.
jfruh (300774) writes "Good news for HP: Profits are up by 18% over the previous year! Bad news for HP: A lot of those profits are from post-Windows XP PC upgrades, and company revenue actually dipped 1%. The solution, according to CEO Meg Whitman, is "continuous improvement in our cost structure," which means firing thousands of people. At the end of the next round of layoffs, the company will have shed 50,000 employees since 2012." New submitter Deveauxes (3664417) links to a similar story from CNN's news service, according to which "HP said the latest layoffs would come across all its business units and geographic locations, and would generate $1 billion in annual savings beyond the $3.5 to $4 billion projected from the previously announced cuts. 'No company likes to decrease the work force, and we recognize that this is difficult for employees,' CEO Meg Whitman said in a conference call with analysts. 'I think everyone understands the turnaround we're in.'"
Paul Fernhout (109597) writes "MetaFilter recently announced layoffs due to a decline in ad revenue that started with a mysterious 40% drop in traffic from Google on November 17, 2012, and which never recovered. Danny Sullivan at SearchEngineLand explores in detail how MetaFilter 'serves as a poster child of problems with Google's penalty process, despite all the advances Google has made over the years.' Caitlin Dewey at the Washington Post puts it more bluntly: 'That may be the most striking, prescient takeaway from the whole MetaFilter episode: the extent to which the modern Web does not incentivize quality.'"
schwit1 (797399) writes "The CEO of Fiat Chrysler said he hopes that people don't buy his company's electric car, the Fiat 500e, which he is forced to sell at a loss because of state and federal mandates. 'I hope you don't buy it because every time I sell one it costs me $14,000,' Sergio Marchionne told the audience at the Brookings Institute during a discussion of the auto bailout. 'I'm honest enough to tell you that I will make the car, I'll make it available which is my requirement but I will sell the limit of what I need to sell and not one more,' said Marchionne. Fiat Chrysler produces two Fiat 500s. The gas-powered Fiat 500 has a base price of $17,300. The electric Fiat 500e runs $32,650. In his candid remarks, Marchionne blamed regulations set in place in California and by President Obama." (Also at USA Today.) If they find they're selling too many for comfort, couldn't they raise the price?
An anonymous reader writes "OpenBeam USA is a Kickstarted company that builds open source aluminum construction systems (think high-quality erector sets). One of the main uses for the systems is building 3D printers, and creator Terence Tam is heavily involved in the 3D-printing community. He's now put up a blog post about some disturbing patents filed by MakerBot. In particular, he notes a patent for auto-leveling on a 3D printer. Not only is this an important upcoming technology for 3D printers, the restriction of which would be a huge blow to progress, it seems the patent was filed just a few short weeks after Steve Graber posted a video demonstrating such auto-leveling. There had also been a Kickstarter campaign for similar tech a few months earlier. Tam gives this warning: 'Considering the Stratasys — Afinia lawsuit, and the fact that Makerbot is now a subsidiary of Stratasys, it's not a stretch to imagine Makerbot coming after other open source 3D manufacturers that threaten their sales. After all, nobody acquires a patent warchest just to invite their competitors to sit around the campfire to sing Kumbaya. It is therefore vitally important that community developed improvements do not fall under Makerbot's (or any other company's) patent portfolio to be used at a later date to clobber the little guys.'"
An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft today confirmed the rumors of a new edition of its latest operating system by unveiling Windows 8.1 with Bing. The company says the main purpose of the new SKU is to allow its hardware partners to sell lower-cost Windows devices; the first ones with the new edition will be announced next month at Computex in Tapei. Windows 8.1 with Bing is exactly like Windows 8.1 with the recently released Windows 8.1 Update, with one major difference: Bing is set as the default search engine in Internet Explorer. Users can still change that option in IE's search engine settings, but OEMs do not have that luxury."
theodp writes "Back in 2007, Representative Maxine Waters asked Google's HR Chief, "How many [of Google's employees] are African-American?" After 7+ years of stonewalling, Google has pledged to finally divulge diversity data on its workforce for the first time. While the U.S. government requires all major employers to file diversity statistics with the EEOC, Google convinced the Dept. of Labor that the race and gender of its work force is a trade secret that should not have to be released to the public. Google now concedes that it has been 'reluctant to divulge that data' and 'quite frankly, we are wrong about that.' Interestingly, Facebook apparently has no such compunctions about refusing to disclose data on the racial and gender makeup of its employees, even as CEO Mark Zuckerberg lobbies Congress for changes to the makeup of the U.S. workforce. Pressed on the matter by the Rev. Jesse Jackson at Facebook's annual shareholder meeting, the WSJ reports that COO and gender equality advocate Sheryl Sandberg rebuffed Jackson's request, saying, 'It's really important to share [the Facebook diversity numbers] internally, and eventually externally.'"
cartechboy writes: "Automakers are scrambling to increase vehicle fuel economy every year as regulations increase, so when an automaker finds a way to possibly increase fuel economy by 10 percent with one new part, that gets some attention. Today that automaker is Toyota, and the part is a new semiconductor. Toyota's power control units (PCU) in its hybrids use semiconductors to govern the flow of electricity between the battery and the electric motor. Unfortunately, they're also an electrically restrictive component. Toyota says the PCU accounts for a quarter of the total electrical power losses in a hybrid drive system, and semiconductors alone make up a full fifth of the total. Reduce electrical losses through a semiconductor, and you can make your hybrid system (and therefore your car) more efficient. Toyota has done this, in theory at least, using a new silicon carbide material for its semiconductors, rather than a standard silicon unit. The future could be shaped by individual parts, and this new semiconductor tech is one piece of that puzzle."
An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from the NY Times: "Amazon, under fire in much of the literary community for energetically discouraging customers from buying books from the publisher Hachette, has abruptly escalated the battle. The retailer began refusing orders late Thursday for coming Hachette books, including J.K. Rowling's new novel. The paperback edition of Brad Stone's The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon — a book Amazon disliked so much it denounced it — is suddenly listed as 'unavailable.' In some cases, even the pages promoting the books have disappeared. Anne Rivers Siddons's new novel, The Girls of August, coming in July, no longer has a page for the physical book or even the Kindle edition. Only the audio edition is still being sold (for more than $60). Otherwise it is as if it did not exist. Amazon is also flexing its muscles in Germany, delaying deliveries of books issued by Bonnier, a major publisher."
jfruh writes "For years for cell phone companies, one specific kind of data — voice calls placed by dialing a traditional telephone number — was entirely different from all the other kinds of data a phone used. But in the U.S., that's finally starting to change, as all the major carriers are planning shifts to voice over LTE. The carriers promise sharper call quality and quicker connections."
carmendrahl writes: "Lethal injections are typically regarded as far more humane methods for execution compared to predecessors such as hanging and firing squads. But the truth about the procedure's humane-ness is unclear. Major medical associations have declared involvement of their member physicians in executions to be unethical, so that means that relatively inexperienced people administer the injections. Mounting supply challenges for the lethal drug cocktails involved are forcing execution teams to change procedures on the fly. This and other problems have contributed to recent crises in Oklahoma and Missouri. As a new story and interactive graphic explains, states are turning to a number of compound cocktails to get around the supply problems."
An anonymous reader writes "In a time when the government avows that it cannot carry out justice without issuing secret warrants and National Security Letters to anyone other than the suspect, it is truly noteworthy when news breaks that the FBI, facing push-back from the likes of a company such as Microsoft, finds that it can indeed gather the information it needs for its investigation through a regular search warrant applied directly to its suspect. Such was the case on Thursday. Court documents (PDF) reveal that Microsoft filed a petition against the National Security Letter (NSL) it received involving one of its customers, citing violations to the First Amendment. The FBI later withdrew the NSL and went after their suspect in the old, Constitutionally-sound way. A federal judge ruled last year that the NSLs impinge on free speech' That judgement has been stayed, of course, pending appeal."
An anonymous reader writes "'Save your work!' — This was a rallying cry for an entire generation of workers and students. The frequency and unpredictability of software crashes, power outages, and hardware failures made it imperative to constantly hit that save button. But in 2014? Not so much. My documents are automatically saved (with versioning) every time I make a change. My IDE commits code changes automatically. Many webforms will save drafts of whatever data I'm entering. Heck, even the games I play have an autosave feature. It's an interesting change — the young generation will grow up with an implicit trust that whatever they type into a computer will stay there. Maybe this is my generation's version of: 'In my day, we had to get up and walk across the room to change the channel on the TV!' In any case, it has some subtle but interesting effects on how people write, play, and create. No longer do we have to have constant interruptions to worry about whether our changes are saved — but at the same time, we don't have that pause to take a moment and reflect on what we've written. I'm sure we've all had moments where our hands hover over a save/submit button before changing our minds and hammering the backspace key. Maybe now we'll have to think before we write."
cablepokerface writes "We've had a significant family catastrophe last weekend. My sister-in-law (my wife's sister) is 28 years old and was 30 weeks pregnant till last Saturday. She also had a tumor — it was a benign, slow growing tumor close to her brain-stem. Naturally we were very worried about that condition, but several neurologists assessed the situation earlier and found the tumor to be a problem, but not big enough for her to require immediate surgery, so we decided to give the baby more time. She was symptomatic, but it was primarily pain in her neck area and that was controlled with acceptable levels of morphine.
Then, last Saturday, our lives changed. Probably forever. In the hospital, where she was admitted earlier that week to keep an eye on the baby, the tumor ruptured a small vessel and started leaking blood into the tumor, which swelled up to twice its size. Then she, effectively, had a stroke from the excess blood in the brain stem. In a hurry, the baby was born through C-section (30 weeks and it's a boy — he's doing fine). Saturday night she had complex brain surgery, which lasted nine hours. They removed the blood and tumor that was pressing on the brain.
Last Sunday/Monday they slowly tried to wake her up. The CT scan shows all higher brain functions to work, but a small part of the brain stem shows no activity. She is locked-in, which is a terrible thing to witness since she has virtually no control of any part of her body. She can't breathe on her own, and the only things she can move, ever so slightly, are her lips, eyelids and eyes. And even that's not very steady. Blinking her eyes to answer questions tires her out enormously, as she seems to have to work hard to control those. The crowd on Slashdot is a group of people who have in-depth knowledge of a wide range of topics. I'm certainly not asking for pity here, but maybe you can help me with the following questions: Does anyone have any ideas on how to communicate better with her? Is there technology that could help? Like brain-wave readers or something? Does anyone have any ideas I haven't thought of regarding communication with her, or maybe even experience with it?"
An anonymous reader writes "Engadget reports that Samsung is working on virtual reality technology to compete with the Oculus Rift. Their work is fairly far along, and it's expected to be announced this year. It's being built to function in tandem with Samsung's flagship mobile devices, most likely their upcoming Galaxy phones and tablets. From the article: 'We're told it has an OLED screen, as good or better than in the second Rift dev kit; it's not clear how the headset connects to your phone/tablet, but we're guessing it's a wired connection rather than wireless. ...This is a device meant for use with games. What type of games? Android games! Sure, but which ones? That's certainly the question. Great games make the platform, and VR games are especially tough to crack given the newness of the medium. One thing's for sure: most major games won't work on VR as direct ports.' The report also suggests Samsung is targeting a lower price point than its competitors. True or not, it will hopefully help drive down prices for all upcoming VR tech." Meanwhile, DARPA is experimenting with the Oculus Rift for cyberwar visualization.
mdsolar writes: "[Former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke said] Australia bore a responsibility to assist with the safe disposal of radioactive waste, given the ample space the country possesses. 'If Australia has – as we do – the safest remote locations for storing the world's nuclear waste, we have a responsibility to make those sites available for this purpose,' he said. Hawke based this conclusion on a 25-year-old report made by Ralph Slayter, whom the former prime minister appointed as Australia's first chief scientist back in 1989. According to Slayter's report, some of the remote reaches of the Northern Territory and Western Australia could provide apt dumping grounds for radioactive waste."
An anonymous reader writes "A biotech start-up from Massachusetts has an unusual product: a bottle full of bacteria you're supposed to spray onto your face. The bacteria is Nitrosomonas eutropha, and it's generally harmless. Its main use is that it oxidizes ammonia, and the start-up's researchers suspect it used to commonly live on human skin before we began washing it away with soaps and other cleaners. Such bacteria are an area of heavy research in biology right now. Scientists know that the gut microbiome is important to proper digestion, and they're trying to figure out if an external microbiome can be similarly beneficial to skin. A journalist for the NY Times volunteered to test the product, which involved four straight weeks of no showers, no soap, no shampoo, and no deodorant. The sprayed-on bacteria quickly colonized her skin, along with other known types of bacteria — and hundreds of unknown (but apparently harmless) strains. She reported improvements to her skin and complexion, and described how the bacteria worked to curtail (but not eliminate) the body odor caused by not washing. At the end of the experiment, all of the N. eutropha vanished within three showers."
On Monday, The Intercept reported that the NSA is recording the content of every cell phone call in the Bahamas. At the time of publication, The Intercept said there was another country in which the NSA was doing this, but declined to name it because of "specific, credible concerns that doing so could lead to increased violence." Now, reader Advocatus Diaboli points out that WikiLeaks has spilled the beans: the country being fully monitored by the NSA is Afghanistan. Julian Assange wrote, "Such censorship strips a nation of its right to self-determination on a matter which affects its whole population. An ongoing crime of mass espionage is being committed against the victim state and its population. By denying an entire population the knowledge of its own victimization, this act of censorship denies each individual in that country the opportunity to seek an effective remedy, whether in international courts, or elsewhere. Pre-notification to the perpetrating authorities also permits the erasure of evidence which could be used in a successful criminal prosecution, civil claim, or other investigations. ... We do not believe it is the place of media to 'aid and abet' a state in escaping detection and prosecution for a serious crime against a population. Consequently WikiLeaks cannot be complicit in the censorship of victim state X. The country in question is Afghanistan."
An anonymous reader writes with news about a study that investigated the effectiveness of Yelp reviews in pinpointing the source of foodborne illnesses. "In 2012, New York City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) found that residents weren't turning to the city's free 311 service to make such complaints, but rather they were reporting their experiences in Yelp reviews. So the CDC, in collaboration with the New York City DOHMH, Yelp, and Columbia University, conducted a nine-month long research into the effectiveness of using online reviews to identify sources of foodborne illnesses. The study discovered 468 actionable complaints, 97% of which hadn't been officially reported to the city, and analyzed roughly 294,000 Yelp restaurant reviews. Subsequent investigations on suspected restaurants turned up evidence of bare-handed food handling, cross-contamination, or even the presence of mice and cockroaches. The study concluded that providing the public with more options for reporting complaints about restaurants, particularly in the social media sphere, would help in the identification and possible closure of sources of foodborne illnesses."
sciencehabit (1205606) writes "Humans produced nearly 300 million tons of plastic in 2012, but where does it end up? A new study has found plastic debris in a surprising location: trapped in Arctic sea ice. As the ice melts, it could release a flood of floating plastic onto the world. From the article: 'Scientists already knew that microplastics—polymer beads, fibers, or fragments less than 5 millimeters long—can wind up in the ocean, near coastlines, or in swirling eddies such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But Rachel Obbard, a materials scientist at Dartmouth College, was shocked to find that currents had carried the stuff to the Arctic.'"
StartsWithABang (3485481) writes "Even with the add-ons of dark matter, dark energy and inflation, the Big Bang still thrives as the most successful scientific model of the Universe ever constructed. It not only accounting for phenomena like the abundance of the light elements, the cosmic microwave background, and the Universe's large-scale structure, but it's led to observable predictions about their details that have since been verified. But there's one thing the Big Bang has generically predicted that we haven't been able to test: a cosmic background of low-energy, relic neutrinos."

Re: CA vs. NJ in the view of the brady bunch.
At a picnic yesterday, I was talking to someone about the lack of correlation of the brady bunch ranking and our opinions. She pointed out how few points the brady bunch puts on "State Preemption."
She put "State Preemption" right behind being a "Must Issue" State in value to her -- to stop the mine-field of local "gotcha-you" laws, which can vary greatly from local government-to-local government within a State and that can effectively discourage carry by law-abiding citizens.
It tickled me to realize that I have raised that very point myself, but forgot it in this thread. So I thought I'd add it, FWIIW at this late juncture.

That is the base for everything else, btw. You will learn that once you grow up and have kids of your own...
IMO, you cannot compare the two -- totally different times, totally different competition, totally different strokes.
We can speculate what if. One thing for sure, Federer would not have 17 Slams in his pocket if he were playing during Lendl's generation...
That is why the whole GOAT discussion is absolute waste of time

Male massage review by Craig (1 review)I had my first appointment with Michael last night. He was flexible with the appointment and easy to reach. He is probably the most personable and friendly therapist that I have used. He spoke to me on the phone about my needs and then sat me down before the appointment to talk about the treatment. He began the session with stretching and transitioned into a massage that required a lot of hard work on his part. All massages feel good, but this one still feels good the next day. It is like he has awakened my body. He asked for feedback and clarification at the beginning of the treatment, and as he realized that I would speak up, he allowed me to respond only as necessary.

Male massage review by Steven Dallas (2 reviews)I read Michaels' reviews and have to agree with the others. He is a great masseur! My time spent with him was of the highest quality. He worked over my sore muscles and I left feeling reborn.
April 04, 2013
Male massage review by Brad (3 reviews)I started going to Michael after my previous masseur moved away. Right from the very moment our session began, I realized that Michael was the masseur for me. Our session began with his discussing my needs. During the first session he would ask if the pressure he was applying was too little or much and adjusted accordingly. On subsequent sessions he remembered how much pressure to apply. He also incorporates some much needed stretching of the legs, which was a great way to help relax the lower part of my body. Clients also have the option having Michael apply heated stones to his massages. They are definitely worth trying. After each session with Michael, I leave feeling like a new man.

Male massage review by Terry (1 review)I just got home after meeting Michael. I found him to be professional, kind, courteous, and very skilled. I have a systemic injury to my legs, and he took note of that injury and adjusted the massage as needed. For the first session, he asked alot of questions (which I appreciated) to check in to see how the experience was for me. I highly recommend Michael to anyone wanting a real massage. I left his studio relaxed, rejuvenated, and revitalized. Thank you, Michael!
February 18, 2011
Male massage review by Mike (5 reviews)Michael was my first professional massage. I was encouraged by a friend who gets massage regularly, who told me that a good therapist could reduce some stress and reduce pain in my legs. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. Michael was great on the phone and setting up the appointment was easy. I had an incall at his home and was warmly welcomed. On my feet constantly, I suffer most in my legs and feet. I told Michael this and he went to work. He was frequently checking in with me, making sure I was comfortable with the whole experience and that he was working the right areas. Afterward, pain and tension were gone, and I felt better than I had in years. I'm definitely hooked. I've had many massages since Michael, but few that came close to giving me the benefits his work did. I wish I could find a masseur at home who is this good.

armoury practice
armoury practice
Production system for the assembly of finished products, in this case arms. With the adoption of the Model 1842 musket, the U.S. military achieved the large-scale assembly of weapons from uniform, interchangeable parts. By the mid-1850s arms makers around the world were beginning to copy this American System of manufacture, which contributed to the creation of the modern military small arm, especially after the introduction of percussion ignition and rifled barrels.

Romney, Obama sharpen closing lines
PATASKALA, Ohio — President Barack Obama accused Mitt Romney of scaring voters with lies on Friday, while the Republican challenger warned grimly of political paralysis and another recession if Obama reclaims the White House. Heading into the final weekend, the race's last big report on the economy showed hiring picking up but millions still out of work.
"Four more days!" Romney supporters bellowed at his rally in Wisconsin. "Four more years!" Obama backers shouted as the president campaigned in Ohio.
With Ohio at the center of it all, the candidates sharpened their closing lines, both clutching to the mainstream middle while lashing out at one another. Virtually all of the nine homestretch battleground states were getting personal attention from the contenders or top members of their teams, and Romney was pressing hard to add Pennsylvania to the last-minute mix.
Urgency could be felt all across the campaign, from the big and boisterous crowds to the running count that roughly 24 million people already have voted. Outside the White House, workers were setting the foundation for the inaugural viewing stand for Jan. 20. Lawyers from both camps girded for a fight should the election end up too close to call.
Obama, for the first time, personally assailed Romney over ads suggesting that automakers General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of auto-industry dependent Ohio. Both companies have called the ads untrue. The matter is sensitive in Ohio, perhaps the linchpin state of the election.
"I know we're close to an election, but this isn't a game," Obama said from Hilliard, Ohio, a heavily Republican suburb of the capital city of Columbus. "These are people's jobs. These are people's lives. ... You don't scare hardworking Americans just to scare up some votes."
No issue matters more to voters than the economy, the centerpiece of a Romney message called the closing case of his campaign.
He said an Obama presidency would mean more broken relations with Congress, showdowns over government shutdowns, a chilling effect on the economy and perhaps "another recession."
"He has never led, never worked across the aisle, never truly understood how jobs are created in the economy," said Romney, a former private equity firm executive, in a campaign stop in Wisconsin.
Later in Ohio, he declared: "I will not represent one party. I will represent one nation."
Democrats sought to kick the legs out of Romney's late-campaign theme of bipartisanship.
"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Obama claimed he loved working with Republicans — when they agreed with him. His tone was scrappy.
"I don't get tired," he said in the longest days of the campaign. When Romney's name drew boos, Obama blurted out: "Vote! Voting is the best revenge."
