Walking is kinda the worst. But if you keep using that chain contraption on your bike, you'll be doing a lot more of it. We get it though—bike locks are ugly and damage your sweet paint job. Not anymore, says Knog. The crank-loving company makes the Party Frank Lock just for style-conscious cyclists like you. In addition to a forward-thinking design and an insanely strong steel core, the lock is over molded with silicone so it won't scratch your bike. Leave the sidewalks to the masses. You've got your wheels.

CONCORD, N.C. – We're halfway into the 2012 WKA Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series and it appears the 2-cycle national sprint series will have a new Manufacturer (chassis) champion for the first time since 2007.
Birel has won the last four Man Cup chassis point championships, which is awarded to the chassis make with the most national wins on the season and one of the most prestigious laurels in the history of WKA.
The last manufacturer to win the chassis points other than Birel was Margay, which won the title an unprecedented six years in a row from 2002 through 2007.
After three Manufacturers Cup national events in 2012, which comprise 20 feature events per event, Birel has only four national wins.
Those four wins have the popular Italian make 10 victories behind Top Kart, which leads the standings with 14 wins on the season thus far.
Many of those Top Kart victories have come at the hands of Houston, Texas' Mason Chelootz, who has seven wins thus far and is coming off a four-win performance earlier this month at Pittsburgh. Scott Ferris, John Ferris III, Garrett Johnston and Chris Wehrheim have all contributed to Top Kart's 14-win total.
Sitting second with 10 wins and still very much in the hunt is the Australian-made Arrow Chassis. Sportsman driver Zach Holden has led the Arrow charge in 2012 with six wins in the first three events. Only Chelootz has won more main events thus far.
Haase has come on strong in 2012. Pilots of the Mike Doty Racing-imported mounts have stood atop the podium nine times this season. Wins have come at the hands of Jared Cordova, Brandon Jarsocrak, John McCusker and Alex Verhagen. Haase won the Man Cup chassis points back in 2001, which was the last time a make other than Birel or Margay won the prestigious title.
Merlin and PCR round out the top five with eight and six wins, respectively. Tony Kart is sixth with four triumphs, all in the junior ranks at the hands of Ashley Rogero and Joel Jens. Birel is seventh with the aforementioned four wins.
CRG, Exprit, JMK and Kosmic have one win each in Man Cup.
With three national events left on the schedule – beginning with the July 6-8 MKP Nationals at South Bend, Indiana's Michiana Raceway Park – 60 feature wins are still up for grabs.
While Birel still has a shot, it will take a monumental effort and it appears the Manufacturers Cup Series will have a new "Manufacturer" champion for the first time since 2007.

When I grow up I want to be a pilot because it's a fun job and easy to do. That's why there are so many pilots flying around these days.
Pilots don't need much school. They just have to learn to read numbers so they can read their instruments.
I guess they should be able to read a road map, too.
Pilots should be brave to they won't get scared it it's foggy and they can't see, or if a wing or motor falls off.
Pilots have to have good eyes to see through the clouds, and they can't be afraid of thunder or lightning because they are much closer to them than we are.
The salary pilots make is another thing I like. They make more money than they know what to do with. This is because most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots don't because they know how easy it is.
I hope I don't get airsick because I get carsick and if I get airsick, I couldn't be a pilot and then I would have to go to work.

Apple Store-within-a-Walmart: the future, or the end of days?
There have been Apple Stores inside Best Buy -- and their subsidiary, Future Shop in Canada -- for a long time now, but Walmart? I haven't been to Walmart in years, but last time I did the only store-within-a-store they had there was a McDonalds. Well, times change, Apple Retail just keeps growing and growing, and it looks like Walmart is their next growth-vector.
Reader Jesse Martinez sent along these images from the Walmart Superstore in Rogers, Arkansas. Jesse says he was told by the Apple rep that this particular Apple Store-within-a-Walmart-store was a prototype and the first one in the country. Even though the Apple Stores proper are phenomenally successful, and Apple keeps adding more all the time, they just don't have locations in all the same places as Best Buy (recent closures notwithstanding) or Walmart. The stores-within-a-store help them project at least a little of the Apple experience to many more potential customers.
So is the the future, where Apple Stores-within-a-store armed with knowledgeable Apple reps-within-those-stores start popping up in more and more megastores? There aren't competing HP, Samsung, Dell, HTC, or Google retail stores, and there aren't competing HP, Samsung, Dell, HTC, or Google stores-within-a-store at Best Buy, never mind Walmart. Does this give Apple a significant advantage, or simply risk overextending their brand?

Apple Store-within-a-Walmart: the future, or the end of days?
Honestly, I would love this. The nearest Apple Store is about an hour drive for me whereas we have a brand new Walmart less than a mile from me.
+1! I live in small town USA and we are lucky to have a Walmart. It just isn't feasible to drive over an hour to get to an Apple Store. Plus having dedicated Apple Store employees manning these operations is huge because most Walmart employees don't know enough to push sales (no offense to any Walmart employees!).
Well it might be the first one in the US but in New Zealand we have at least a dozen of them since we don't have an actual Apple Store.
This isn't Rolex, Renee. I think it's a smart decision by Apple. For one, as above posters have mentioned, it increases retail availability within communities. It also allows some who would never have been to an Apple store to get in on the Apple experience, which as an Apple user I believe is probably Apple's strongest selling point.
I know that you're an Apple user yourself, Renee, and I have to ask you: Have you not found it the most difficult thing in the world to convince a computer savvy (or illiterate, really) PC user that Mac's are worth their extra dollar value? It all comes down to user experience, and that's a very difficult message to convey without demonstration.
I apologize, I just realize I feminized your name. If you can edit that, feel free to. No offense intended.
If I have to shop at a Walmart for Apple products, that will be the end of my 25 years association with Apple.
The point is this. In central pa the only apple store is in Lancaster. So if your from Williamsport you can drive to Lancaster, Philly, Baltimore or Pittsburgh. All while driving past 10 Walmarts. So having a local apple store is moot. There not all that local. Plus when you go there they have long lines and many dumb people there.
Really bro? Your loyalty is that weak?
Not everyone has a Apple store even remotely close to them. I live in Hawaii and there are three Apple stores on one island... (Oahu). I live on a different island (Kauai). What should I do, take a day off buy a plane ticket just to visit an Apple store? I already own the greatest smartphone made to date. I have experienced the awesomeness of Apple products. I don't need to go to an Apple store and listen to some teenager tell me the hardware and software specs of various Apple products. I think what your more afraid of is that Apple products will get into the hands of the "less desirable Walmartians" and you wont look so cool with your iDevice. If it becomes a common household item it will somehow lose its "sex appeal". Maybe you should right a letter to Apple and tell them to not expand their retail stores to Walmart... If they don't listen just go buy yourself a Android phone at one of those Android brick and mortar stores...
I live on the Big Island, so we're in the same boat. Last year, the mic on my 3 week old iPad 2 stopped working. This wouldn't have been an issue, had there been a mini Apple store on the island where I could have swapped it for a new one. I'd be happy to see one opened at my local (1 hour drive) Walmart.
That's wat I was thinking. I mean, its the same stuff Walmart sells anyway. To me, for this to be a true store within a store, they would need to sell macbooks, imacs, etc... It's only iPads and iPhones like they have sold in the past.
The more, the better :)
I think its a bad idea. The apple store is a place where you can try out, get the help you need and the environment is 2nd to done. The service you can get is very special and in noway will they ever be able to provide this level of experience inside a walmart. I hope the 2 didn't make this deal in China.
I live close to the middle of nowhere. I have a Wal-Mart within a few miles but the closest Apple Store is in St. Louis or Chicago, 3+ hours away. It is usually quite a hassle when I have problems with my Apple devices, and seeing Apple products in person is often a challenge as well. As much as I dislike patronizing Wal-Mart, I'd love to have an Apple Store in my local Wal-Mart. Alas, my fear is that my town/Wal-Mart is too small for such a luxury. But I can dream...
I work in the Connection Center (cell phones) at a Walmart in a not-so-affluent area. I believe this project will ultimately fail. Why do people shop at Walmart? Because they're cheap. They complain about everything from selection to customer service to long lines. Why do they keep coming back? Because they're cheap. While the iPhone is a moderate seller in my store I seem to be selling a lot of the first Samsung Galaxy S. Why? Because the price recently went down to $0.97. The Apple display in my department is the 3GS display. We don't have any iPhones on display because people steal them. All of the other Apple products in my store are in the electronics department which I do work in but not very often. The displays are a mess. The selection is terrible. I can't speak to sales numbers of any non-iPhone Apple products but I doubt they're very high. What I'm getting at here is that the vast majority of Walmart customers don't have the means to pay the "Apple tax". Why buy an iPad for $499 when you can get another tablet made by some company no one has ever heard of for $129? If Best Buy is bleeding money why would an Apple store in a Walmart do any better? It's just going to sit there and look nice in the sea of cheaply made discount merchandise that is Walmart.
You must work at horrible Walmart. I hate Walmart myself, go there 3-4 times a year, but wow. Either your trolling or serious. My Walmart has everything under glass. IOS, and android devices. And when I'm in Walmart I have the means to buy 5 iphones. I just dont choose to buy them. Your attitude drives Me away from apple. Most apple users think they are the s**t just for having one. When I can get one for 1 buck.
I make more than $150k per year and I shop at Walmart. I work hard for my money and if the same item is in Walmart for less I'll buy it there!
If you do work at Walmart you know that each store is merchandised a little different. Your store's "traits" and the assortment it carries, is largely dependent on the customer demographic. You sound as if you're in an older "Division 1" store and not a newer SuperCenter. BIG difference!
Walmart already sells this selection of Apple products and sells A LOT! They sell more than Apple iPads than all over tablets combined!
This is part of a 30 store pilot and we'll see how it goes! It's good for Apple, Walmart, and the customers, like me, who shop there!
McDonald's is still in the Wal-Marts here in Canada. Would love to see a switch to Subway.
Not sure if this counts but I live in a pretty high priced part of NYC and inside the target here they sell all apple products im pretty sure.
I've purchased iPhones and iPads and iPods from there before.
Although it would be convenient for some people I think apple should focus on building more stores instead of building a stand within walmarts.
Smart move overall. Anybody complaining about the besmirched sanctity of their precious Apple products should remember that iPhones and iPads are commodities that need to be moved - nothing more, nothing less.
iPhones, iPads, Macs are good products. I like good products. I want Apple to keep making good products. To do so, they have to sell a lot of them. If Wal-Mart helps sell them, that's a good thing.
The elitism and snobbery on display with these news (and when Instagram was released on Android) is disheartening. I use Apple products almost exclusively because they are very, very good. Not because they give me some sort of illusory status over the 'common people'
Apple is a great company. Wal-Mart on the other (at least the Wal-Marts in my area) are ghetto, packed to capacity and require you to plan your trip way in advance so you can avoid having a bad experience. I think having an Apple store within Wal-Mart is great for the brand and would definitely expose it to those who otherwise would not think about purchasing Apple products. For me personally, I will stick to the Apple Store.
Wow! I really love being thrown in there with traier trash (thick thick thick sarcasim, by the way)!!!! I know that walmart isnt the nicest of stores everywhere you go, but i still shop there on a weekly basis, because it is the closest and cheapest place for me to get the grocies and household item i need.
I LOVE my mac. I LOVE my iPad. And i, at least, REALLY like my iPhone. But i really hate the snobby persona that apple users tend to give off, and this whole story doesnt really help the cause. Not everyone lives in new york, or uptown dallas, or chicago, or LA. The closest apple store to me is in houston, a good 2 hour drive. There is an apple kiosk in best buy in my town, and there is a little apple authorized retailer in town too. But i hate the snobby, elitist, attitude that apple should have a location in walmart. They practially already have one what with the ipod/iphone/ipad kiosk.
This would do nothing but conitnue to bolster sales for apple. Dont see anything wrong with that.
I'm not an elitist or anything, but I do think this will overall hurt sales with Apple's current consumers (however it COULD help sales overall). A lot of the reason that current consumers buy Apple products is due to the experience - specialty stores, knowledgeable staff, consistency across the brand. I would be afraid that Walmart wouldn't provide that experience. I have been in some Walmarts that are clean and well organized. However, I have been in some that are messes: Displays are broken/not working, DVD's spilled across the electronics department.
Now, I understand that it's not easy to get to an Apple Store. I have to drive over 100 miles (one way)to get to one. However, most people who HAVE to go to the Apple store do so because they need technical assistance. Do you think that they will be able to provide (or charge for) that same level of assistance at the Wal-Mart stores? I have my doubts that they would even provide service in these stores; it would likely be "sales-only". If anything, I see Apple trying to place their employees in Walmart for a while, then when they realize that it would be more profitable to contract the work out, they will - ultimately leading to reduced level of service and experience. But who knows...
Revenue US$ 421.849 billion (2011)
Operating income US$ 025.542 billion (2011)
Net income US$ 015.355 billion (2011)
Total assets US$ 180.663 billion (2011)
Total equity US$ 068.542 billion (2011)
These numbers don't lie! Lots of people shop at Walmart and it's not a bad idea to get your product in the stores!

- Strong
- Well built
Best Uses
We use the cart to carry supers and equipment from our honey house to the bees in the home bee yard. It replaced a 30 year old cart that we were still using, but had a tree fall on it.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I had the medium garden cart with the hard plastic, non-tube tires for about 10 years. It spent the entire year outside and held up very well, with a few minor repairs to the body. We finally had to throw it out. I ordered a new one. My husband, who can build/repair anything, put it together for me. He had to re-drill some holes that were in the wrong place. When he went to fill the tubes in the tires, one tube held air for about 30 seconds and then went flat. If we had known we would have kept the non-tube tires from the old cart and used them instead. Now he is trying to find an inner tube that will fit the cart tires. I have no garden cart to use now and I have to make due with a wheelbarrow. I am willing to spend good money on something I know will hold up. So far I am very disappointed!!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Assembles easily
- Easy to push
- Good Looking
- Well Designed Assembly Ki
- Arrived With Flat Tire
- Assembly Could Be Easier
- Pre-drilled Holes Poorly
- Pre-drilling Is Shabby
Best Uses
- Carry Mulch And Soil
- Yard And Lawn Pickup
- Yard Pickuo
We use this cart every day in season for yard clean up, carrying tools, moving heavy loads of soil and mulch around the yard. For most tasks it is easier to push than a wheelbarrow and a lot more stable.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
The cart arrived in multiple pieces, flat tires, and screw holes not quite lining up. The tubes in the tires were so defective that they could not be pumped up. Email to company obtained no response, so after a few days a call reached a real person who promised to send out new tires. After much work the cart was together. Then we saw the fine print recommending a finish varnish coat to protect the wood sides. So off came the wheels again in order to put on the varnish. It's now a nice cart but soooo much larger than we expected for a medium cart.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- A Good Design
- A Substandard Manufacture
Best Uses
- Gardening
The inner tubes were slit in both tires causing $50 in repares prior to use
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Large
- Stable
- Difficult to assemble
Best Uses
This cart seems great--large, very stable, and easy to load and unload. I hope it will prove to be durable, but we've only had it for a month so far. It seems high-quality. My husband is very handy, though, and he found it time-consuming and a pain to assemble. There were parts that could have been pre-assembled at the factory and the cart would still have fit into the flat box in which it arrived.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy to assemble
- The size is perfect
- We Like The Green Color
Best Uses
- We Use It For Firewood
We had the larger size for about 25 years but now we are happy with one that is easier to use. We are happy to have a smaller one.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Perfect size for use around the yard
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Very well constructed
- Tube Tires
Best Uses
This cart is very well constructed with great materials, and it was easy to assemble. However, the first time we used it, one of the tires went flat and I discovered it had a hole in it. Gardeners replaced the tire with no problems, but we are wondering if it will hold up with heavy duty work. Our last cart had solid rubber tires and lasted for years. The tires on this cart are tube tires. Hopefully this was a fluke, but time will tell.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy to handle
- Right size

- Yard Work
Yard cleanup of raked leaves and sticks.
mulching around flower beds

The promotion doesn't know when Grant will return to the Octagon, and after Saturday's UFC 166 card, UFC president Dana White said that when Grant does come back he might not be fighting for the title:
T.J. Grant's in one of those unfortunate situations where he's had a title shot, and he had to pull out twice, so he might have to come back and fight another fight, we have to keep this thing rolling. It's (Melendez's win) a huge step back for T.J. Grant
One of the main reasons behind White's comments was the bout between Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez that took place on Saturday. The three round battle will be under strong consideration for 2013's Fight of the Year, and it solidified Melendez's ranking as one of the top fighters in the division.
If Thomson upsets Pettis in December, expect the UFC to book Thomson versus Melendez. The two fought three times in Strikeforce, with Melendez winning two of those three. If Pettis scores the win over Thomson, don't be surprised to see the UFC book Pettis versus Melendez.

Frances Moree was holding her Bible when she was struck by a vehicle in front of her Ringel Heights home Saturday afternoon.
Coroner Kenny Johnson said 82-year-old Moree was walking to see a neighbor who lives across from her Highway 701 home when she was hit. Her Bible was found on the roadway after the accident, Johnson said.
According to South Carolina Highway Patrol Senior Trooper Bridget Wyant, a Chevy Suburban, driven by a 44-year-old woman from Hemingway, was northbound on Highway 701 when she struck Moree near the intersection of Empire Court.
Johnson said Moree's husband, Logan Moree Sr., was watching her cross the road and witnessed the accident.
He said Moree was pronounced dead on the scene. She died from multiple blunt force trauma.
After the Georgetown Times posted the story as breaking news on its website Saturday, readers began posting their sentiments.
"She was such a sweet gentle woman," wrote reader Ruby Flemming.
"My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family and friends of Mrs. Moree," added Katrina Grant Bromell.
Wyant said the accident is still under investigation. No charges were filed against the driver.

In our last Special Webcast on Corporate Sustainability we discussed the latest developments in The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Future of Integrated Reporting. During that discussion, Suzanne Fallender, Director of CSR Strategy and Communications at Intel, noted that the challenge faced by companies moving toward integrated reporting is "the difference in how materiality for ESG is defined versus materiality for financials...Financial materiality means something very specific."
In this webcast we will have an in-depth discussion on the meaning of materiality, how it has evolved (and continues to evolve) in financial reporting and how this can, or cannot, apply effectively to materiality determination of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk. Why is the issue of materiality central to creating an integrated report? What will it take to establish materiality of ESG in such a manner to satisfy all stakeholders, and at a minimum the financial services industry? Who has a stake in this discussion and who is currently at the table? What are leading organizations doing and how can companies get involved? How are leading companies addressing this question and what processes and useful frameworks that are being used? What are the main hurdles and how can these be overcome? How would we define success here?
This webcast will focus on:
- The further explanation of integrated reporting and how it is being done by companies today.
- The importance of the materiality determination to an integrated report, given the different definitions of materiality and the institutional history behind each determination of materiality.
- Which (GRI) performance indicators do investors consider "material"?
- What is the evidence for ESG materiality in independent scholarly research?

Son Gokū (孫悟空, Son Gokū), more commonly known as the Four-Tails (四尾, Yonbi), is one of the nine tailed beasts. It was last sealed within Rōshi of Iwagakure.
Background Edit
Son Gokū and the tailed beasts first came into being in the waning days of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who used his Creation of All Things ability to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine separate bodies and giving each a name. Some time after being created, the Sage explained to the young tailed beasts that a link existed between them despite their separation. He also foretold of a day when they would be brought together again - though not as they were - and that at that time someone would emerge to show them what true power is.[3][4] After Hagoromo's death, the tailed beasts drifted apart, apparently due to Kurama's belief that their number of tails was an indication of their strength.[5]
Son Gokū eventually fell into the possession of Iwagakure and was sealed into Rōshi over forty years before the Fourth Shinobi World War,[6] who later left Iwagakure in a journey to gain a better understanding and control of the tailed beast.[7]
Personality Edit
Son Gokū is a very prideful tailed beast, as it detests being called by the name "Four-Tails" and boasts about its lineage. It uses "ore" (オレ) when referring to itself.[8]
It also hated humans, due to the fact that humans had enslaved it, and believes that apes are more intelligent than humans. However, when talking about the Sage of the Six Paths, it showed him great respect. It also seems to have taken a liking to Naruto Uzumaki, as it was moved by his actions for truly trying to save it from being controlled by Tobi and even gave him some of its chakra before being sealed away. He also treats his fellow tailed beasts with much respect, as he addresses them by their name, as seen with Kurama. Son also has a high amount of respect for those who respect the tailed beasts.
Appearance Edit
Son Gokū is a red-furred and green-skinned monkey, with a body-build of a gorilla. It has eyes with yellow irides and white pupils, spike-like protrusions along the length of its tails, elongated blunt fangs, and two long horns curving upwards on its forehead like a crown (both its fangs and horns are dark-tipped). In its mouth, Son doesn't have a tongue, but has a big, round opening from where it can spit lava. During the last remaining days of the Sage of the Six Paths, Son was much smaller and leaner with smaller fangs.[4]
Abilities Edit
See also: Jinchūriki Forms As a tailed beast, Son Gokū possesses an enormous supply of chakra and can create the Tailed Beast Ball. Son also seems knowledgeable in taijutsu, likewise showing deceptive nimbleness of its size, utilising powerful and well-timed kicks against its opponents.[9] Son has a great deal of physical strength, being able to lift and toss Gyūki with ease.[10]
Ninjutsu Edit
Nature Transformation Edit
Son has the ability to use Fire Release and Earth Release simultaneously, allowing it to use Lava Release. With it, it can create volcanoes as well as flaming boulders to launch at the enemy, and even armour of molten rock to defend itself. In addition, although being never used in the storyline, it seems to be capable of breathing a stream of green coloured fire.
Part II Edit
Itachi Pursuit Mission Edit
After an unseen and difficult battle with Kisame Hoshigaki, Rōshi was defeated and captured by the Akatsuki member.[11] The Four-Tails was later extracted and sealed, leading to Rōshi's death.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax Edit
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tobi forced Rōshi to fully transform into the Four-Tails and attack Killer B and Gyūki, managing to flip the latter over by its tentacles. Later, Son attempted to swallow Naruto. Naruto tried to free himself from between the beasts jaws, but failed.
The chained-up Four-Tails asked Naruto, now inside the tailed beast, if he had come to steal its power. It lashed out when Naruto referred to it as the "Four-Tails", demanded that Naruto address it by its proper title; Son Gokū. As their conversation continued, Son was shocked to discover Naruto to be an open, honest young man. After Son cursed humans for sealing the tailed beasts away and denying their existence, Naruto shared that he was once treated in a similar manner and that he hated to see someone like Tobi controlling the tailed beasts. After initially laughing at the prospect of Naruto, a jinchūriki, wanting to befriend his tailed beast, Son realised that Naruto's ambition was genuine and told him that there might be a way to stop its rampage if the chains that bound it were undone.
In parting, Son bumped fists with Naruto, now eager to know how to undo the chains. Son imparted that in the past he made it second-nature to never trust jinchūriki; it warned Naruto not to expect it to become his ally. Son proceeded to tell him the location of the chakra receiver embedded in its body. Naruto used shadow clones to force Son to vomit him up. A Naruto clone who stayed inside the tailed beast's mouth went into Sage Mode and push the receiver from the inside while he himself pulled it from the outside. Although Naruto succeeded, he quickly realised that Son was still bound. Son explained that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path still held its chakra and that Naruto had only freed it from Tobi's control. As Naruto argued with the beast over wanting to save it completely and not just free it from Tobi's control, Son in disbelief of the young man's character, offered its chakra to Naruto,[12] pleased that he genuinely tried to rescue it.[13] Son was then resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, leaving Rōshi's body behind.
In Fū's flashback of the time before Son was sealed, it was revealed that Rōshi attempted to make amends with Son, wondering whether or not they could have traversed a path more similar to Naruto and Kurama's. Son told Rōshi that if he wasn't so stubborn and hadn't forgotten its name all those years ago, it might have been possible. As the beast was resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, it parted on good terms with Rōshi, who told it that he had never forgotten its name, but rather was too proud to address it properly. He then wondered if calling the beast "Son" would be appropriate.
Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki Edit
Son Gokū appeared alongside the other tailed beasts with the exception of Gyūki and Shukaku when the Ten-Tails looked down at Naruto. The image of the tailed beasts, along with a silhouette of the Sage of the Six Paths, drove the Ten-Tails to a fit as it evolved further. Later, Son Gokū was extracted from Obito along with the other tailed beasts by the combined efforts of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Upon being freed, Son Gokū noted that Naruto had truly kept his promise and saved them. Upon learning that Gaara — who noted that he considered Naruto his first friend — intended to seal Madara with Shukaku's assistance, Son declared that it too along with the other freed tailed beasts would also assist to repay Naruto.
As Naruto in Tailed Beast Mode pinned Madara down with a tail, Son and the other tailed beasts joined in and did the same to increase the damage, but the Uchiha survived their attacks and retreated to a safe distance. After he received his own right Rinnegan eye from a White Zetsu clone, Madara quickly summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from Obito's body, and used the Rinnegan to repel the tailed beasts. With the tailed beasts stunned, Madara then proceeded to chain them up and prepared to seal them back into the statue. Subsequently, Son Gokū, along with the other tailed beasts, are all resealed within the Demonic Statue.
Later, the chakra Son transferred to Naruto earlier manifested within Naruto's subconscious along with the other tailed beasts to speak with the young ninja and the spirit of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. There, they voiced their shared belief that Naruto is the child of prophecy. Trusting Naruto, Hagoromo then imparted half of his power to Naruto. Once Naruto returned to the battlefield, Naruto quickly called on assistance from his inner-team, having Son use its Lava Release to empower Naruto's Rasenshuriken, which completely overwhelmed Madara and cut down the tree form of the Ten-Tails.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Strikes Edit
Ultimately, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki who had taken control of Madara, was defeated by Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha and sealed using the Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei technique. The tailed beasts were all ejected from the statue and then they were all summoned back to the real world by Hagoromo and the previous Kage. Son complimented Kurama for having such a good jinchūriki even though he admitted the boy was a bit naive at times. After the past Kage returned to the afterlife, the tailed beasts begin discussing their plans for the future now that they were finally free, Son noting its desire to return to its cave. Sasuke, however, made his own intentions known: removing as many people as possible who could get in the way of his plans of leading the world through a revolution to do away with current shinobi systems, including killing all the current Kage and tailed beasts. Just as Sasuke swiftly subdued the tailed beasts with his Rinnegan and sealed them within his Chibaku Tensei, Naruto reassured the tailed beasts that he would save them once again. After the battle when Sasuke declared Naruto the victor, the two dispelled the Infinite Tsukuyomi and Sasuke released Son along with the other tailed beasts from their prisons.
In Other Media Edit
Video Games Edit
Although Son Gokū itself is not playable, Rōshi takes on its form as his awakening in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.
Trivia Edit
- According to the fourth databook, its full name is "Son Gokū Seiten Taisei" (孫悟空斉天大聖).
- 'Son Gokū' (孫悟空) is a Japanese name for 'Sun Wukong', a legendary character from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. Kishimoto was mainly inspired to create Son based on the character with the same name from the manga series Dragon Ball. In addition, its design is based on Goku's Ōzaru form and his inherited dragon ball that has four stars in it.[14] On top of that in Dragon Ball, Goku's master was Rōshi. Besides the name, Son is also based on several other references to Sun Wukong, which includes:
- The horns on its forehead are modelled after Sun Wukong's diadem.
- "Handsome Monkey King" (美猿王, Bien'ō) and "Great Sage Equalling Heaven" (斉天大聖, Seiten Taisei) are both titles that Sun Wukong bears.
- The Water Screen Cave (水簾洞, Suirendō) is the cave where Sun Wukong was born on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit (花果山, Kakazan).
- When Naruto met Son within Rōshi, it was sealed to a giant stone, which reflects the mountain under which Sun Wukong was sealed.
- A Dharma name (法号, hōgō) can be one of two things. It can be the name given to a newly ordained Buddhist monk or nun, or it can be the posthumous name given to deceased people according to the Buddhist faith.
- The fur on its chin and on the top of its back resemble Rōshi's beard and hairstyle.
Quotes Edit
- (Introducing itself to Naruto) "I am the Handsome Monkey King of the Water Screen Cave; the King of the Sage Monkeys, bestowed with the Dharma name of Son by the Sage of the Six Paths. I am Son Gokū, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven hoohoohooooo!!" ( 「オレは水簾洞の美猿王 六道仙人より孫の法号を与えられし仙猿の王。孫悟空斉天大聖だウキキィーーー!!」, "Ore wa Suirendō no Bien'ō, Rikudō Sennin yori Son no hōgō o ataerareshi Sen'en no Ō. Son Gokū Seiten Taisei da ukikī~~~!!")[8]

Software defined networking (SDN) is today where the cloud was a few years ago, and their paths are quite similar. As cloud providers innovate, they incorporate new, cutting-edge technology to let users do more with their architectures and enable solutions that were previously impossible. Just as the cloud moved people away from physical boxes and bare metal devices, SDN is allowing developers and architects to divorce themselves from proprietary hardware appliances like load balancers and firewalls.
So, what are the similarities between SDN and cloud? How about abstraction or the movement from physical to virtual?
To get a bit more scientific, I jumped over to Google Trends (which looks at search term volume over time) and did a search for "cloud," "SDN," "cloud computing," and "software defined networking."
The results shown here make it pretty obvious that "cloud" continues to grow and overshadow the other terms. Removing "cloud" shows "SDN" making the same upward trajectory as "cloud" does in the graphic below. (Because people have been shortening the term "cloud computing" to simply "cloud," it's logical that the term's search volume is decreasing.)

Oregon Wants Official Microbe To Celebrate Beer Industry
By Staff
Originally published on Fri April 5, 2013 6:30 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
Its state bird is a Western Meadowlark. Its state tree is Douglas Fir. Now Oregon wants a state microbe. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - try saying that twice - is a kind of yeast used in beer. And State Representative Mark Johnson thinks making it Oregon's official microbe is a great way to celebrate the state's craft beer industry. Oregon is also proud of its wine. A type of dirt that's used to grow pinot noire grapes is the state's official soil.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Tough, moisture-shedding Gi Shorts in a lightweight nylon taslan with a built-in adjustable belt, DWR (durable water repellent) finish and 50+ UPF sun protection; 10" inseam.
Lacking fur, feathers or scales, we humans have to think up clever ways to protect ourselves from the sun. Products with the UPF designation provide built-in sun protection that won't wear off.
UPF stands for "Ultraviolet Protection Factor." This value represents the fractional amount of the sun's harmful UV rays that pass through a fabric. A rating of "25" indicates that only 1/25th , or 4% of the UV rays pass through the garment.
Patagonia products with rated UPF protection are tested independently to meet Australia/New Zealand or AATCC protocols. A rating of 15-24 earns a product a rating of "good"; a rating of 25-39 is "very good"; and a rating of 40-50+ is "excellent." *
* When tested in accordance with Australian/New Zealand test methods AS/NZS 4399 or USA test methods AATCC 183/ASTM D6603/ASTM D6544.

Donations pour in for crash victimBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | April 17,2014
The life-threatening crash has been a shock, but the donations and support that have poured in for Nathan Whitehorne during the last week have been an inspiration, according to his friends and co-workers.
The 41-year-old West Rutland man was critically injured when his truck crashed head on into a school bus stopped at a set of railroad tracks on Route 3 last Thursday in Rutland Town.
His friends and co-workers at the kennel he owns said Wednesday that Whitehorne had just dropped his daughter off at school and was on his way to work when the crash occurred. Vermont State Police said Wednesday they are still investigating the incident and have yet to determine a cause.
Whitehorne was taken by helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center where doctors performed open-heart surgery to save his life.
A week after the crash, Whitehorne's friends say he remains in the New Hampshire hospital and has had two more surgeries to repair broken bones in his hand and leg.
"He's doing really well considering what he's been through," said Rebecca Carr, the shop manager and trainer at Whitehorne's business, 4 Paws Academy, and his longtime friend. "He will be off the ventilator in a few days and that will be a big step forward, but he's going to be in recovery for a long time."
To help Whitehorne's family pay medical bills and other expenses during that long process, Carr this week posted an appeal on the website Gofundme seeking $25,000 in donations.
Two days later, 195 supporters have contributed more than $14,000 toward that goal.
"It's getting huge," Carr said. "We're so grateful to everyone."
The Gofundme posting is only one way to help the stricken businessman and father.
On Saturday, May 10, the kennel's employees will be hosting a dog wash at their day school on North Grove Street in Rutland Town and on June 1 supporters are planning a basket raffle.
Nicole Bishop, who is a client at the kennel, said she is one of a number of Whitehorne's customers who have been inspired to help him.
"Initially, we got the word out just by Facebook and email but it's spread like wildfire from there," she said.
Lisa Wood, another of the kennel's clients, was integral last week in finding Whitehorne's dog, which was so panicked after surviving the crash that no one could approach it.
After Vermont State Police at the scene were unable to lay hands on the dog, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois named Minion, Wood went looking for the dog with her own Belgian, Stoley, about five hours after the crash.
"He was circling (the crash site) for hours. He kept trying to go back to the accident scene but Nate wasn't there anymore," she said. "He was so freaked out, he didn't want to go to anyone."
He didn't want to go near humans, but when Stoley ran circles around him, Wood said, the big dog calmed down enough for her to get closer.
Carr was a former client herself. But she said in the three years since she met Whitehorne, he and his kennel inspired her to leave her career as a schoolteacher to teach canines instead.
"I believed enough in what he's doing here to leave my career," she said. "He has influenced more people than I think even he can comprehend."
"He would do anything for any one of us," Whitehorne's apprentice, Jamie Hawley, added.
Those interested in making donations to support the Whitehorne family can visit gofundme.com. There is also a need for volunteers to help with a number of projects planned this spring. Those interested in assisting can contact Brian at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Those interested in donating baskets can send emails to either Bishop at firstname.lastname@example.com or to Danielle Poirier at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The most obvious reason why a locksmith is needed is to lock a building and/or residence. The second and equally important reason a locksmith is needed is to lock up valuables in a safe or a secure room. There are three other not so obvious reasons why a locksmith is needed. These are:
1) Installing a new security system and new locks
2) Updating an existing security system and rekeying locks
3) Emergency access and security
When looking to hire a security professional that can help ; a person needs to consider a number of factors such as what type of security is needed for the business or residence, what the person wants to secure and how the person wants to secure their items and property. Security professionals often have the right credentials to help with space restrictions, time restrictions and access restrictions. It's not all about locks anymore. Security systems also involve electronic surveillance systems that are coordinated with locks to ensure that access is restricted. The locks also can be set electronically to accept only certain types of pass keys.
Locking businesses and/or residences
Security professionals are obviously needed to secure doors from burglars. The type of lock received, whether it's an old fashioned deadlock or a programmable security lock depends a lot on what type of access and location. Deadlocks can be used in both businesses and residential areas to secure a building from ordinary illegal access. Programmable security locks are mainly used to secure inner rooms, but can be used in the main entry way. There are different types of locks for different areas of a building. The lock purchased can vary depending on what the person wants to secure. Some security systems are linked to the locks on doors, while others have sensors on the doors.
Locking up valuables
Combination locks that use both a sequence of numbers and a key can be complicated to install and use without the help of a security professional. Wall safes that are remotely programmed to lock and unlock using special codes and keys can be a hassle to figure out individually. Security professionals that have experience with locks and other security devices have the expertise to help.
Emergencies-Repair and Replace
We've all had them. Emergencies like locking out of a house, an office or a car can be devastating. There is help. Security professionals are highly training to help in these types of emergencies. They can repair and replace broken locks, help secure businesses and/or residences and suggest ways to secure property.
What to look for in a security professional
The first thing to look for is his/her expertise in gaining access and utilizing the tools of the trade. Is he/she knowledgeable about a particular lock? Does he/she know about the electronic systems in automobiles, buildings and/or homes? Security professionals should know the various electronic security access codes and should be trustworthy enough not to use them with evil intent.
Security professionals should be certified with the ALCOA, an organization of security professionals ready and able to help with any and all security issues. People who are looking for reliable security professionals should visit website of professional security companies and ask questions before committing to any work.

Starbucks Corp. will use its ubiquitous coffee cups to tell U.S. lawmakers to come up with a deal to avoid going over the "fiscal cliff" and triggering automatic tax hikes and spending cuts.
Chief Executive Howard Schultz is urging workers in Starbucks' roughly 120 Washington-area shops to write "come together" on customers' cups Thursday and Friday, as U.S. President Barack Obama and lawmakers return to work and attempt to revive fiscal cliff negotiations that collapsed before the Christmas holiday.
Starbucks' cup campaign aims to send a message to sharply divided politicians and serve as a rallying cry for the public in the days leading up to lawmakers' Jan. 1 deadline to deliver a plan to avert harsh across-the-board government spending reductions and tax increases that could send the United States back into recession.
"We're paying attention; we're greatly disappointed in what's going on and we deserve better," Schultz told Reuters in a telephone interview.
The CEO said he has joined a growing list of high-powered business leaders, politicians and financial experts in endorsing the Campaign to Fix the Debt, a well-funded nonpartisan group leaning on lawmakers to put the United States' financial house in order.
Starbucks plans to amplify its "come together" message via new and old media, including Twitter and Facebook posts, coverage on AOL's local news websites and advertisements in The Washington Post and The New York Times.
"If (talks) do not progress, we will make this much bigger," Schultz said of the messaging campaign.
Schultz is no stranger to using the world's biggest coffee chain as a platform to advocate for more political cooperation in Washington.
During the debt ceiling debate in August 2011, he made a splash by calling for a boycott of political contributions to U.S. lawmakers until they struck a fair and bipartisan deal on the country's debt, revenue and spending.
"We are facing such dysfunction, irresponsibility and lack of leadership" less than two years after the debt ceiling crisis, Schultz said.
Washington narrowly avoided a U.S. government default, but not before down-to-the-wire wrangling prompted the country's first debt rating downgrade.
"There is something so wrong that we can be here again and not have the ability to put party aside for the betterment of the country," said Schultz. "We have the same language and rhetoric. Unfortunately we aren't learning much."

I really like this particular blog thing (no, I'm not techno savvy- lol) that talks about birth. Induction came up and many people are not for it, understandably. So, this one girl asks, well, what if you have preeclampsia. So, I chimed in with the whole if you have PE, you need to have your baby & blah, blah, blah. So did many others. Then, this one person brings up a question about why, if you are soooo sick, don't they just do a csection instead of labor? I can handle that, even the condescending tone that implies she believes PE is a figment of our imagination. Yeah, it irked me, but the others are intelligent enough to deal with that. What really (can we cuss on here? 'cause I really feel like using a 4 letter word right now!) got to me is when she mentioned reading something by a natural birth doc (one I admire, btw) that basically said PE is linked to a mother's emotional state during pregnancy. Translation- if we were happy and peaceful during our pregnancies, we would not get sick. I don't have the words. I'm flabbergasted. I'm so furious I'm seeing red. How dare anyone imply that if we fart rainbows and practice yoga, we would not deal with PE?! That takes ignorance into a whole new realm. As someone who has had PE not once or twice or even three times...oh, no, I've had it 4 times!!- I take exception to this. As someone who has heard your stories, who has heard the stories of those who lost their babies or their own lives, to imply that we could prevent this....I just really I don't know.
Someone, help me put this into perspective. Or just commisserate with me so I don't feel like such a bad person for wanting to slap someone-hard. Maybe twice.
