CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Juicy red tomatoes, bright orange pumpkins, and deep purple eggplants are just a few of the delicious items local children will grow this year as part of a community garden effort.
A 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment found that 80 percent of Franklin County residents don't consume the recommended five daily servings of fruits and vegetables – a statistic that's about 8 percent higher than the state average.
In an effort to address these community needs, a number of local organizations including Summit Health, BOPIC, Inc. – Building Our Pride in Chambersburg, Wilson College, St. Paul United Methodist Church, and Franklin County officials have started a summer garden project for elementary school children.
"It's really great to see local organizations coming together to address the health needs in their community," said Nickie Fickel, manager of Community Health for Summit Health.
"Having a community garden is going to empower these children to take an active role in their health and nutrition. By learning healthy eating habits early on, it will help them to develop into healthy adults."
The garden will be grown on donated space at St. Paul United Methodist Church, 750 Norland Ave., Chambersburg.
Garden bed preparation begins on April 12 with planting throughout April and May. Children in the BOPIC Summer Enrichment and Nutrition Program will begin getting their hands dirty on June 23.
"By establishing a community garden, we will have the ability to have parents and children directly involved in the planting, maintenance, and harvesting of fresh produce, which will reinforce the benefits of preparing healthier, fresh, harvested food," said Jack Jones, BOPIC president.
In addition to the hands-on experience, healthy eating habits and nutrition will be reinforced in the classroom with the Jr. Master Gardener Health and Nutrition curriculum.
Parents will complete an assessment of their children's daily meals, which will enable program directors to evaluate the meals that are currently being served at home, Jones said.
A certified dietitian will review the evaluations and help make recommendations to each family, which will ultimately stress the importance of preparing fresh, healthy meals for their children, he said.
After their hard work, children will reap the fruits of their labor by serving their produce to their families during BOPIC's Parents Night in July.
One of the best benefits of the project is that parents and children will be taking ownership of the food they grow and consume, said Elizabeth Grant, grants associate with the Franklin County Commissioners office.
The hope is they will not only become more aware of what it takes to bring food to the table, but they'll be influenced to increase fruits and vegetable consumption, Grant said.
"The Fulton Farm at Wilson College has provided on-farm and nutrition programming for the BOPIC program for the past two years," added Chris Mayer, program manager for the Fulton Center for Sustainable Living at Wilson College. "I'm excited to continue this aspect with visits to Fulton Farm this summer, but thrilled to see the children's experience enhanced with their own garden plots."
Seven garden beds will be planted, each with their own theme:
- Pizza Garden: Tomatoes, onions, basil, oregano, bell peppers, and garlic
- Salad: Lettuce, radishes, carrots, bush cucumbers, kale, and mesclun mix
- Ratatouille: Eggplant, onion, bell pepper, Zucchini, Yellow squash, tomato, parsley, basil, and thyme
- Veggie Soup: Green beans, onions, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, parsley, and corn
- Stir Fry: Snow peas, broccoli, bok choy, spring onions, and garlic
- Salsa: Tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, onions, tomatillos, cilantro, and cumin
- Color Wheel: Red - cherry tomatoes, radishes, beets; Green - snow peas, green beans, broccoli, zucchini; Blue/Purple - red cabbage, eggplant; Yellow - Yellow cherry tomatoes, yellow squash; Orange - pumpkins, butternut squash, carrots, orange peppers
For more information about the community garden, contact Summit Health's Community Health Manager Nickie Fickel at (717) 267-7561 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Summit Health is a non-profit network of hospitals and physician practices dedicated to building a healthier community.
As Franklin County's leading healthcare provider, Summit Health offers family care, specialists, lab and imaging services, a fitness center, two walk-in care centers, and two award-winning hospitals.

Escape from North Korea: The Untold Story of Asia's Underground Railroad (Hardcover)
Shipped to Tattered Cover in 3 to 7 days
From the world's most repressive state comes rare good news: the escape to freedom of a small number of its people. It is a crime to leave North Korea. Yet increasing numbers of North Koreans dare to flee. They go first to neighboring China, which rejects them as criminals, then on to Southeast Asia or Mongolia, and finally to South Korea, the United States, and other free countries. They travel along a secret route known as the new underground railroad.
With a journalist's grasp of events and a novelist's ear for narrative, Melanie Kirkpatrick tells the story of the North Koreans' quest for liberty. Travelers on the new underground railroad include women bound to Chinese men who purchased them as brides, defectors carrying state secrets, and POWs from the Korean War held captive in the North for more than half a century. Their conductors are brokers who are in it for the money as well as Christians who are in it to serve God. The Christians see their mission as the liberation of North Korea one person at a time.
Just as escaped slaves from the American South educated Americans about the evils of slavery, the North Korean fugitives are informing the world about the secretive country they fled. The New Underground Railroad describes how they also are sowing the seeds for change within North Korea itself. Once they reach sanctuary, the escapees channel news back to those they left behind. In doing so, they are helping to open their information-starved homeland, exposing their countrymen to liberal ideas, and laying the intellectual groundwork for the transformation of the totalitarian regime that keeps their fellow citizens in chains.
About the Author
Melanie Kirkpatrick is a journalist, writer, and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. She was deputy editor of the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, where she was a longtime member of the editorial board and op-ed editor. She lives in rural Connecticut with her husband, Jack David.
Praise for Escape from North Korea: The Untold Story of Asia's Underground Railroad…
With the perfect, hypnotic flow of a consummate journalist, Melanie Kirkpatrick has created an encyclopedic, magnificently researched and reported portrait of the dramatic resistance to the slow-motion holocaust that is taking place in North Korea as you read this. Her account is as captivating as a thriller, but unlike a thriller it is morally compelling. What elevates it to the ranks of the finest books is the skill of its author and the selfless urgency of her appeal. Many a prize has been awarded to books not half as deserving." Mark Helprin, Author of Winter's Tale and A Soldier of the Great War
Escape from North Korea should be assigned reading for anyonepolicymaker, academic, or journalist alikewho think they know anything about the Kim family dictatorship. Melanie Kirkpatrick shows how the new Underground Railroad" is not only providing an escape route from the prison camp that is North Korea, but something even more important as well. She shows how that escape route, aided and expanded, can bring down North Korea's despotic regime and free its entire people. Kirkpatrick combines exhaustive reporting with insightful analysis in a powerful and compelling tale of repression and freedom." John R. Bolton, Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations
A riveting, meticulously researched account of the harrowing journey North Koreans must take to reach freedom. Kirkpatrick describes in detail the secret network of safe houses, transit routes and brokers that have emerged in China and other countries to enable North Koreans to escape. Similar to the Underground Railroad in the United States that liberated slaves, the network achieves inspiring successes and tragic failures. The book will interest both the general public and serve as a powerful tool for policymakers, academics and advocates interested in lending support to one of the world's most persecuted people." Roberta Cohen, Co-chair of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea

How love spells function
For untold many centuries a select few powerful men and women have held the secret knowledge on love spells and love magik in their hands. These love spell casters would influence the universe, the forces of nature, kharma, love energies between two people and the universal laws of life to help people find and keep love.
With the help of study, research, experience and mentor-ship by many of these love spell casters, I have managed to become South Africa's most powerful love spell caster. I have been helping people with my love spell casting services since 1983.
In this article I look at some of the reasons I have given to people when trying to convince them about the positive effects of love spells in helping people find true love and keeping it for their rest of their life. Both magic and spell work are most definitely real. However, they can be very hard to define without having years of study devoted to the topic. I will try to give you a very simple, down to earth explanation here.
At its most basic, a spell is a highly detailed wish, or prayer that actually carries with it some power to manifest. It is the process of harnessing and directing energy to manifest a desired outcome or change. There is an inherent energy lying within Earth and all living things. This energy, this capacity for magic radiates from all living beings (including plants, herbs, etc). The goal of magic is to tap into the right kind of energy for your spell work and direct it in a way to create change.
The exact way a love spell works depends on many things. These include the spell itself, the type of magic, the person casting the spell, and the person the spell is being cast for. For example, let us examine one type of spell, the traditional love spell cast upon a person to make them fall in love with you. This would be any love spell that is cast upon a man or woman in order to make them fall in love with yourself or another person.
The energy is harnessed and directed using a variety of tools, like candles, herbs, symbols, chants and actions. One of the most important components of a love spell is the love spell ritual, these are used to create an environment whereby the love spell caster can connect to the universal forces of love. The primary function of ritual is to worship---to celebrate and to connect with the divine. Don't try do perform a ritual unless you're working a precise spell.
When invoking deities you should know something about them. When you raise magickal energy, have a focus for it---if you let it drift, you're going to get yourself into trouble, because magickal energy seeks out that which needs to be done, voids that need to be filled.
The successful practice of magick depends upon strong belief.
History of Love spells
We want to look at the history and origins of love spells, what they are used for, who uses them, how people use love spells and where you can find love spells.
The origin of love spells cannot be traced to any one place, as they have been in existence through ages in all parts of the world.
Hence, the history of these spells is difficult to pinpoint. There are many versions on the history and origins of love spells. Basically each different account on the history of love spells depends on your belief system which influences how you view the genesis/beginning/origins of the world
In ancient times, the most common way of casting love spells was by making a wax image of the person who was the target of the spell and casting the spell, so that the actual person would get attracted towards love through the wax image.
Love spells were practised as a form of witchcraft in earlier times. At that time feelings such as love were considered as fancies of gods and people had a belief that they could coax and soothe these gods by casting love spells on them. In modern times a love spell is merely a method to help a person make a love connection with another.
Many spells today too are based on age-old practices. For instance, one wears or makes the intended person wear charms on the body or places them next to the bed to arouse love in that person and hence this ancient practice is quite popular in today's times too. Earlier, each tribe followed their own type of love spells and they had tremendous belief in witches and wizards, who according to them could solve all their problems and fulfil their desires. Even today, the most popular reason for people's involvement with witchcraft is love spells.
The first couple, whose beginning differs according to one's belief had two children.
In an attempt to populate the earth, the first girl and boy had to get married, but the problem was the boy was not interested in marrying his sister, since he was more interested in spending time hunting and doing what boys like to do, mischief.
The whole scenario was because females mature faster than man, so the young man was a bit behind, whilst the girl was eager to start a family.
The first girl child together with her mother Eve, then devised a plan to create a Love spell to force the boy to want to get married to his sister and have children so that the earth's population could grow.
So Eve made a love spell using some information she had read from a book that she found at the tree of life when she met Lucifer, the arch-angel.
After she finished creating the love spell, she gave the love spell to her daughter who then cast it on her husband, when the spell worked, the first boy child immediately made a marriage proposal to the first girl child and they consummated it by sharing a home together. 6000 years later this information about love spells has been passed from one mother to another till this day
Do you sometimes feel jealous about your lover? Is your jealousy interfering with your relationship? Is your lover very jealous?
Do you want to be less jealous and more understanding? Do you want your partner to be less jealous and more understanding?
My jealousy love spells will banish all jealousy from your relationship, it will help the person who is jealous in a relationship or marriage to be more understanding and feel less jealousy. It will bring more positive energy to your relationship or marriage, helping you trust each other more and love each other more.
A jealousy love spell first instill feelings of self-love, a sense of inner peace and self assuredness in the person feeling jealousy. Before I cast a jealousy love spell I first cast a relationship tester, to remove all doubt of unfaithfulness in any of the partners. If all partners are faithfull to their love, I will then begin casting the jealousy love spell.

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Centre on a petition filed on behalf of Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev that challenged the Delhi High Court judgment legalising gay sex among consenting adults.
A Bench of Chief Justice K. G. Balakrishnan and Justice P. Sathasivam also issued notice on another petition filed by Apostolic Churches Alliance. The Bench directed the two petitions to be tagged with a batch of similar petitions and posted the matter for further hearing to September 14.
It asked the Centre to file its response in the meanwhile.
S. K. Tijarawala, who filed the petition on behalf of Baba Ramdev, contended that the High Court had failed to appreciate the fact that homosexual activities were not only against public morality and health and healthy environment but also against the interest of society, because they put a large chunk of population at the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS.
He contended that the High Court decision, "if allowed to sustain, will have catastrophic effects on the moral fabric of society and will jeopardise the institution of marriage itself. This offends the structure of Indian value system, the Indian culture and traditions, as derived from religious scriptures."
Against dignity
The petitioner said: "The sexual activities of homosexuals are against the dignity of human kind. The Constitution protects the relative dignity of every human being. There is no concept of personal dignity in the Constitution, which implies that the Constitution provides for a society where all citizens respect the dignity of each other. Any act of an individual which causes harm to society or the values of others can, by no stretch of imagination, be justified on the ground that it is part of the scheme of guarantee of human dignity by our Constitution."

Ugh. Two Weeks. Genma sighed. I cant believe the Hokage suspended me for two weeks. Oh medical purposes, yea right.
Well do you think that I want to be here?
No. You should be in the academy teaching your students.
Yea, its a wonder why she put me on Gate watch. Id rather be at home sleeping with a large pizza.
Hn. Genma tongued the senbon hanging out of his mouth. She said were supposed to be getting a very important visitor today.
Is that right? Eh, its probably just a local daimyo or something like that.
She seems happier than normal the past few weeks. Maybe shes finally gotten over Narutos disappearance.
Yea; his disappearance hit us all hard. He was dead last the entire time at the academy, but I wonder if it was either him holding back, or the stress that the villagers put on him. Its horrible what they did to him. And they call him the monster.
Youre right Iruka. Its a wonder he didnt end up like that Garra kid; shunned his entire childhood, beaten, chased, and disgusted. He could have easily snapped and killed us all by letting the nine-tails out.
Iruka motioned him to be quiet as a cart was rolling in. Please state your business in Konoha please.
My son and I make weapons and were coming here on our monthly visit to see your weapons dealers to sell our wares. replied the voice from the cart. The old man reached into a sack next to him. Genma tensed. Then he was handed paperwork of clearance from Waterfall.
Genma looked over the papers and the old mans identification, and motioned to the top of the gate. Everything seems in order here. Good luck.
Thank you young man. The old man smiled as he urged the horses forward through the now opening gate.
Ever since the sound attack three and a half years ago the gates have stayed closed. In an effort to screen the incoming traffic better to prevent spies. The cart passes Genma and he saw the young blonde boy asleep on one of the sacks. He sighed. Everyone reminded him of the blonde shinobi.
Scuttlebutt says the Hokage has enlisted special help to find Naruto. Genma said out of nowhere.
Iruka looked at him, Really? Wonder who that could be.
Yea , but if even Kakashi couldnt find him after six months, do you think this guy could?
Anything to get Naruto back
Iruka stared at the ground.
Are you going to visit the memorial later?
Yes. And Im glad someone decided to take it upon themselves to carve his name into the stone. He deserves it.
Did they ever find out who did it?
No and I seriously doubt that they will. Even though that there is a short list of everyone who loved him. I dont think that Tsunade will pursue it very much. He said with a smile. Ugh, what was that idiot thinking? Leaving us like that
he yelled exasperated.
Stop dwelling on it, youll get over it eventu
the senbon that he had been tonguing in his mouth suddenly embedded itself into the ground, his eyes wide, his jaw slack.
Iruka saw this look. He had never seen Genma without the senbon sticking out from between his lips. What is it? He follow Genmas eyes. What he saw made his jaw go slack as well.
Standing there not sixty feet away was the blonde shinobi who had been gone fore almost 4 years. He had black highlights in his normal bright blonde hair. No longer in the Please kill me now orange, he sported black ANBU style pants tied off at the bottoms; on his right leg, was strapped-instead of a kunai pouch- was a longer thinner box; a dark grey t-shirt that was somewhat tight, but wasnt threatening to rip at the seams; Blackish-red armguards and black gloves with a metal plate on the top of each hand. Underneath each armguard was strapped a small capsule with a hold in the front of it. They were each adorned with a seal. On his belt hung two scrolls on his left side, and a small 4 inch gourd on his right side hanging loosely, yet securely. Though the only reason they could see this was because his heavy black cloak was pulled back to allow air to pass through. Though this made his look even more menacing.
N-Naruto. Iruka said with an ever increasing smile on his face. Naruto! He waved as he started to approach Naruto, but was held back by a hand. He looked at Genma only to see him shake his head.
Something isnt right. The Naruto we know would have been screaming his head off by now, running towards us yelling about how hes going to get you buy treat him to ramen. Where is Jiraya anyway?
He HAS been gone for four years. Maybe he has grown up. With that Naruto had come within five feet of where they stood looking straight into Irukas eyes. They both stood there unwavering for a few minutes before Naruto's mouth started to creep into a smile. Wider it got until it threatened to split his face right in two.
I missed you. He said flashing a toothy grin. He threw his arms around Iruka and they embraced each other like a father would a son. What are you doing guarding the gate? Shouldnt you be teaching class?
Thats what I asking earlier he casting a sidelong glance at Genma.
Welcome back Kid. He said with a grin, still tonguing the senbon in his mouth.
Thanks, its good to be back. He answered noticing the ever-present stick in Genmas mouth. I can finally see why you like those. He said pointing at Genmas mouth. He held his hand up and produced his own senbon between his fingers. Noticing Genmas raised eyebrow he explained further turning his arm around showing him the capsules that adorned his underarms, Wonderful little contraption. The seals allow me to hold about 100 senbon in each arm. Funnel a little chakra into it and
he said as another senbon shot into his grip.
much more accurate and graceful than an ungainly kunai, though I keep a few of those too. He added, patting his leg.
You should go see Tsunade. Shell be wanting to smother you since she almost had to give up on you six months ago. He saw Narutos eye flash sadness for a second, but as soon as it was there it disappeared behind a weak smile and a nod.
Genma gave a wave to the men on top of the gate for them to open it. He then turned to Naruto and shook his hand, All right you go straight to the Hokages office and dont deface the monument ok?
Dont worry. Ive grown out of that faze. He said as he cast his eyes over the monument. So, they finally got around to putting Baa-chans face on the mountain. He smiled and walked inside of the gates giving one final wave to the Chuunin Guards.
Not much has changed. Except for Baa-chans face nothing really seems different. he mused. Ill just have to play along and do my job. Ill be out of this wretched place soon enough. He noticed people giving him looks. Not the looks he was used to, but looks of fear. He could hear their whispers and almost SMELL their fear. He smirked driving a few of them to drop their things and run home in terror. Fear. Thats what drives people. Fear of dying, fear of being alone. This one pertained to him the most. The fear of being alone. He remembered the glares and words that the villagers would send his way, the mobs every October that would scour the village to look and hopefully to kill him. He still shuddered upon remembering the times that they did catch him. Doesnt matter; they will stop soon enough. Especially when they see how powerful I have become. He smirked again.
He arrived at the Hokage tower and paused before opening the doors. Hmm
He opened the doors and headed up the stairs to the Hokages office.. As he neared the office he could see the ANBU guards blending into the wall. One of them disengaged his Henge and looked at him, holding out his hand. He handed one of hem his identification and noticed the stiffening of the mans back, before nodding and holding out his ID to take back.
Just as he was about to open the door he heard voices.
We dont want a funeral; we just want his name properly etched into the memorial. We only want him to be properly remembered.
Sakura. he smiled.
Look, Sakura that will never happen.
WHY! He deserves more than any of us! she sobbed.
Keep your voice down.
You of all, I would have thought would want to have a funeral in his honor. He heard Sakura growl. He could hear the footsteps getting louder. Throwing a warning glance and a finger to his lips towards the ANBU member there he put his back against the wall and immediately blended into it. He saw the door swing open and Sakura came out huffing. She stomped off down the hallway muttering to herself.
Tsunade cam out of the door looking at the retreating back of the pink-haired Kunoichi, and then to the ANBU who was holding something in his hand. She took one glance at it then gave the ANBU member a questioning look. He pointed to the shape that seemed to be coming out of the wall dropping the Henge.
With a smile that threatened to split her face she completely engulfed the boy in her arms.
Oh Naruto I thought Id never see you again. She cried out, with tears streaming down her cheeks. She put her hands on his shoulders to push him away to an arms length. Look at you; you look all grown up. And you look like a real ninja now. Thank god you decided to ditch orange. Anyone could see you coming from a mile away.
She cast a glance down the hall where Sakura had been a moment before. Wheres Jiraya?
Narutos eyes lost the hint of happiness that was there, Lets go inside shall we? he motioned to her door.
She eyed him warily, Of course. She stepped back through the doorway into the room where her assistant Shizune worked.
Shizunes eyes widened as she saw who walked through the door and a smile crept upon her lips.
Shizune. Tsunade said curtly, Naruto and I are going to need a while. Please keep us uninterrupted.
Yes, Tsunade-sama. Shizune nodded.
So tell me what happened. Tsunade started resting her head upon her elbows looking at Naruto intently.
To answer your question from outside. He went to his belt. This, is Jiraya He put the gourd that was hanging from his belt onto the desk.
Tsunade closed her eyes and breathed out heavily. Naruto could already see the tears starting to form in the corners of her eyes.
He once told me that a ninjas vices are money, women, and alcohol. Well he was right about that. Though I didnt know Kisame was willing to go that far. Her eyebrows furrowed. When Jiraya and I were on our way back from Cloud
Thats quite the story
Theres more. Naruto said. That was over a year and a half ago
WHAT?? You mean youve been out there all by yourself for almost two years!!! What about the Akatsuki??? What about us??? Didnt you think to return here, or at the very least let us know that you were safe? Do you have any idea what you put us through? she sighed rubbing her temples. Ive had to dismantle Team 7. Kakashi has become ANBU again, and Sakura has become my apprentice. Shes almost grown as strong as I have. They both smiled at this.
I heard you and her talking before I came in. You should let them. The funeral I mean. Seeing her are you crazy look he elaborated, Ill make an appearance there. Those who really know me will approach me; and those who dont
wont. Plus it will ease the tension of the villagers. They seem to be really on edge with my coming back. I think it would be best for them to be kept in the dark about this.
Tsunade smiled I dont like the idea of a funeral. Itll put too much stress and angst upon your friends. But I can see youre right about the villagers. You gotten smarter Naruto. She admitted with a smile.
Thank you. And theyll get over it. Plus I want to see how many of them will see me, and what they think. He smirked. He turned to leave. You know you can always say the funeral is for Jiraya. He cooed over his shoulder. And with that, he left her alone to her thoughts.
What else happened out there Naruto? You are not yourself. Then she noticed the scroll left of the table.
Everyone was assembled on top of the very same roof that held the funeral for the Sandaime almost four years back. The dark grey clods threatened to spill their tears, but seemed to be held in check, as if waiting for something; some sign to unleash their anguish. The number of people gathered on the rooftop numbered in the hundreds, most of them being either ninja or the local nobles. Below countless more lined the streets listening to the words that Tsunade was speaking.
Up on the platform stood Tsunade accompanied by an urn on a pedestal, and a picture of a younger Jiraya draping an arm round Tsunade giving the Victory sign, and beaming a smile at whoever was taking the picture.
Were taking the day to remember a man who was honorable, strong, and truly a good shinobi. Were here today to remember Jiraya, one of the three legendary Sennin. She paused, Jiraya always, put his friends before himself. Well
almost always. I did catch him about once a week doing his research. A few of the ninjas chuckled. But through his research, his wandering around; he was always loyal to Konoha, and to his friends. We will all miss him in one form or another. Upon this pedestal are his remains. After his death he was given a ceremonial funeral pyre. We had just received his remains because of one Uzumaki Naruto
She smiled as she saw some eyes widen and heard the gasps.
who risked his life to give us Jirayas remains; she paused and fumbled in her jacket
along with these. She held up the three Akatsuki rings. She smiled even greater when she heard louder gasps and a few mumbles.
Sakura stood there in her black dress flanked by Kakashi and Hinata. Hinata, following tradition, was wearing a black dress even though she didnt know Jiraya; because very few did. Hinata and the rest of the rookie nine were treating this as a burial for two.
Sakura grabbed Hinatas hand noticing the shy pal-eyed girl jump when she did. Sakura gave her a reassuring look. Both of their eyes were red and swollen from crying for long periods of time. Dont worry; after this were going to head on over to the memorial and have our own private funeral. This time Im going to fix my mistake and properly engrave his name into it. Her eyes shown with a determination that Hinata had only seen in her Naruto.
When Tsunade brought out the rings, they both gasped. Hinata brought her hands up to her mouth, and now her eyes moistened again. Not because of the mention of Narutos name, or sadness, but with joy. Naruto
k-killed three?
Not exactly
Kakashi spoke He only killed one. But dont worry, that, in itself, is worthy of an honor. Its just too bad that the council and most of the nobles are too blinded by their hatred of Naruto that we cant give him an official ninja memorial by engraving his name in the memorial. Though, from what I hear wont be too much of a problem soon. He took note of the stiffening in their backs. You shouldnt be too hasty. After, dont you think we should wait until we recover Narutos body until you fully desecrate the memorial?
But sensei, what if we never find his
body. Sakura choked out.
I have a feeling we wont have to. Sakura could see the folds of his mask indicating a smile.
What do you mean sensei? she asked giving him a suspicious look.
You know Naruto. You dont think hed roll over and die so easily do you? He still has to become Hokage doesnt he?
she looked down.
Hinata was getting bored. She was almost to the point of pulling out her hair, she was so bored. She did not really know Jiraya, and therefore wanted to get to the impromptu funeral for Naruto so she could begin the healing process of losing a loved one.
She started to scan the crowd looking for the rest of the rookie nine so they could all walk to the monument together. Neji-niisan, Tenten-chan, Lee-san, my team, Sakura-chan, Shikamaru-san, Ino-chan, Choji-san. Theres Ichiraku-sama, one of the few people to actually care about Naruto for who he is. Ill have to go over there and speak to him before we leave.
Her eyes continued to wander through the crowd resting on one man in particular. She didnt know why this mane seemed so familiar. His yellow and black hair, those blue eyes that looked so much like Naruto-kuns but didnt have the same spark in them. They look like they belonged to someone who had seen so much blood; so much death that they didnt believe in life anymore. She watched as a single tear went down his cheek. Not even bothering to wipe it off he turned and left. For some reason she felt compelled to follow him.
She turned to leave, her eyes not leaving the mans back. She barely registered Sakura calling her name and responding, Ill be back in a minute
Why would he come here?
She stood next to one of the buildings with her hands resting on the building watching the young mans back. Why would he come atop the fourth Hokages head? This used to be where Naruto used to come to think.
She noticed a break in the clouds allowing a shaft of sunlight to shine through.
She jumped with an EEP! She shakily took step after step forward until she was standing a few steps away from him. G-gomen.
Dont worry about it. Please have a seat. He motioned to his right
T-thank you.
stop stuttering. It makes you sound incompetent. He looked at her out from the corner of his eye.
She flinched at the word; it bringing up a painful memory of her father berating her after another shameful defeat at the hands of her younger sister, Hanabi. Hai. He nodded steeling herself.
So why did you follow me from the funeral?
I really dont know. I just felt like I had to follow you.
He he. Well I guess you wouldnt be a very good hunter-nin, seeing as how you cant mask your chakra to save your life. He noticed her widening eyes. I knew you were following me from the get-go.
She nodded Did you know Jiraya?
Yes. I spent some time with him a while back. He smiled. Always doing research. He smiled again.
She smiled too I like that..
When you smile. I like it.
His eyebrows raised.
She suddenly felt the heat on her face as she blushed.
Blushing now are we?
Her blush deepened.
Dont worry, you dont have to be shy around me. Consider me a friend. She nodded. So do you stalk people often? Even though you cant mask chakra you can hide very well. He said with a wry smile.
No, only one
she clasped her hands to her mouth immediately regretting as soon as the words left her mouth.
we have a crush on someone do we? Oh my, it wasnt Jiraya now
he teased.
No! It was
someone else. Someone close to me. Though he never knew
her tears returned.
I never got the chance to tell him before he died. Her tears were dampening the ground underneath her as her tears spilled out. Her hands fisted on top of her bent knees only to grabbed by his strong hands. She looked into his eyes. Those eyes that once seemed dead and lifeless now seemed to be full of compassion and warmth. She felt her blush deepen right there, threatening to set her hair on fire.
Im sure youll get over your love of this man. He smiled, his eyes turning into upside down Us. They opened once more and his eyes showed a spark with his mischievous grin. If not you could always go out with me.
She had to will herself not to faint right then and there.
looks so much like Naruto-kun
Niticing her distress, Take it easy, he said beaming at her it was just a joke. Even though you are cute, you dont have to go out on a date with me. With that he stood up and turned to leave; leaving her still staring at his back trying to force back the wave of unconsciousness that threatened to take her.
Just before he left her eyesight, he turned back around to lock eye with her. He winked, The offer still stands. He finally turned the corner and left.
That was it. She happily met the ground as unconsciousness took her, and she dreamt of this dreamy man she had just met.
Naruto looked back around the corner to see how Hinata was reacting to his offer. He chuckled to himself seeing that she had feinted and was lying on the ground. She has a funeral to go to. It wouldn't go over well if she didnt go to a funereal that she had helped plan.
He walked back over to her and scooped her up as he turned back and set off towards the memorial that stated the names of all of the shinobi who have died in the line of duty.

My Tacoma tried to attack my garage
Hey guys, I have a 2012 Tacoma with barely 3000 miles on it, all stock. It was mid 40's here today so I hose off all the salt on it and let it dry off outside. I get in it to drive the flat 25 feet into my garage and as I step on the brake to slow down to park it the ABS flips out and all the wheels start clicking but the truck is still fricking driving forward even though my foot is crushing the brake pedal. By sheer luck and instinct I was able to throw it into park before I drove through the back of my garage.
I searched around here but don't really know what to search for. I've read about the ABS issues and VSC but haven't come across anything where the truck is still actively driving itself while braking. I'm in NH so some strange ABS behavior is not new to me and I haven't really had any issues this winter but this new and I really don't need to be driving into people at a stop light. Thanks for any info or link to an appropriate thread. |
welcome, and did you get a good amount of water on the brakes maybe? think it maybe froze on the disc?
i know garages can be very slick when wet. i suspect your concrete is smooth instead of brushed like the driveway.
i had my old 92 eat my workbench. i had the seats forward to access my tools in the back, and assuming it was in neutral, pushed the clutch start cancel button and started the truck through the open window. well, she started right up and crept right into the bench as i tried to yank the door open and fold the seat back so i could get in to shut it off. turns out she was not only in gear, but also in 4lo. whoops. no considerable damage though. glad it was the bench and not the wall dont feel bad, at least yours was out of your control instead of a stupid mistake :) |
tostidos - thanks, rinsed the heck out of it but it was outside for a few hours at 45 before I drove it in so no freezing
92dlxman - yup it's smooth and there was snow on the tires but I was just coasting the few feet to the garage on flat ground. No different than getting into it coming home driving through six inches of snow. |
It might be time for the abs killswitch mod

i wouldnt worry about it. if it does it again you have a problem. probably slick tires due to snow/water/ice, truck was cold as you said it sat out for a few hours at 45* rpms were higher due to the fact it was cold. may have lurched a little bit and caused the abs to kick in when you were smashing the brakes.
There's been a lot of reports that the 2nd gen ABS does more harm than good when the conditions are icy/slick.
Did you say that you slammed the shifter from drive, through neutral and reverse, into park, while still moving forward/wheels spinning? |
Garage was pretty dry, just some slush on tires from moving the truck, nothing out of the ordinary. Running blizzaks also.
Was nearly fully into the garage when it started, foot on brake, ABS on and clicking, wheels weren't spinning but the truck was certainly moving forward all by itself. Yes, from drive to park. Gotlift - that seems about right. My problem with it that I can't remember the last time I had a car without ABS, and there's been many, and absolutely none of them did anything like this. I would have thought this ABS would be more, um, "polished" I guess would be the word for it. |
Some people will discount your story but I don't doubt you. The ABS on our trucks sucks.
I'd have that truck into the dealer to have it checked.
I tried something with my truck. We had some freezing rain and sleet But it was not solid ice on the road. I stepped on the brakes doing 10 mph and the abs kicked in and would not stop. I went at least 50 ft before I came to a stop. I yanked the ABS fuse and tried again. Stopped in less than 10 ft no sliding.
That's my point. Doesn't it worry you if you have to second guess your ABS? Just the fact that there's threads about how to disable it is troubling. Before this truck I had an 04 F250 for 6 years, never had an issue with ABS. In fact never even thought about ABS, which is the way it should be. It should just work.
Had the VERY same thing happen last winter! I parked the truck outside while working on another in the garage, it was about 15* out. After a couple hours I put the truck back in the garage. I stopped a little short, so eased up on the brake to just idle forward and there we go...brakes hard as a rock and still going! It took out a toolbox and a lightforce. Never had it happen since, but you can bet your ass I have hand on the shifter when parking!
I told my bud about it since his wife had just bought a new 2012. Not two months later, same set of circumstances, he got to buy a new replacement grill! |
Billy - going in next week for sure |
mine did that once on a rainy misty morning...just 101% humidity. first time
on the brakes felt like it was trying to clear ice off the rotors or something...for 10 feet. then wham, lockup...hasn't done it since |
Typical Tacoma ABS in my opinion.. These trucks suck that way.. Slap it in neutral quickly has helped me in the past..
This summer I will disable it.. If I don't trade it off on another MegaCab.. I really miss my MegaCab.. |
Not another "my ABS sucks" Mine works fine must be OK stops better then any other trucks in it's class.
good for you bub
[QUOTE=machec;6525704]Hey that sounds pretty spot on. Do you remember if you were at high idle? It probably was if it was a cold start. Strange thing is that mine will do random high idle during driving even when the engine is at temp, be going down hill and it will down shift then rev up for some reason. Very weird.
If it was high idle it was the intermittent kind that you describe. I had started it via autostart and let it run for 5-10 minutes first, so it wasn't just crank it cold and roll. That's been the only instance, it does fine on the icy roads and such. Just a bit more careful pulling the POS into the garage. Never took it to the dealer, figuring what's the point if they can't dupe it?? |
Did you pull ABS No2, the lower amp fuse? Did you get a dash light? I keep getting referred to the switch methods but I don't want a switch and I don't want to fool w/ the wiring, just want to pull the fuse and call it a day. Thanks in advance. |
