Ash and Bone (Frank Elder Mysteries)by John Harvey
"Ash and Bone tackles many issues...within an absorbing social narrative and several unrelated tangents which somehow are elegantly resolved in a surprising close. It is typical of the best of British crime novels in its lack of showiness, its gripping story, well-studied range of characters, and nary a plot hole to be found despite its many layers. It is wonderful to have Harvey back and writing again. He had been sorely missed." Georgie Lewis, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the depths of his Cornish hideaway, retired Detective Inspector Frank Elder's solitary life is disturbed by a call from his estranged wife, telling him his seventeen-year-old daughter, Katherine, is running wild, unbalanced by the abduction and rape he feels he should have prevented. Meanwhile, in the heart of London, the takedown of a violent criminal goes badly, and Detective Sergeant Maddy Birch is uneasy about the reasons why, an uneasiness that is compounded when she starts to believe she is being stalked.
Maddy and Frank have a connection, a brief and clumsy encounter years before that has left a trace of lingering regret. In Ash & Bone their lives connect again when a second phone call persuades the unsettled, unhappy Elder out of retirement, only to find that a cold case has a devastating present-day impact.
"British veteran Harvey's second novel to feature former Nottingham cop Frank Elder is flatly written and clich-driven, falling short of its predecessor, Flesh & Blood (2004), which won a CWA Silver Dagger Award. Retired to a shabby shack in Cornwall, Frank is still recovering from the breakup of his marriage and trying to forget the brutal rape of his teenage daughter a year before. Meanwhile, in London, Det. Sgt. Maddy Birch, a 44-year-old transfer from the northern city of Lincoln, isn't doing so well, either. The killing of a much-wanted villain by her armed superior has come under scrutiny, and Maddy is torn between loyalty to her colleagues and the truth. When Frank agrees (much too quickly) to help out the London police on another case, he and Maddy, with whom he once had a brief fling, are teamed up in an investigation that reopens all kinds of old wounds. Even this routine material might have worked had Harvey used any of the bleak humor and sharp characterizations of his classic Charlie Resnick series (Lonely Hearts, etc.)." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Perhaps no other crime writer combines unflinching realism with bedrock humanity as convincingly as Harvey." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Surprises abound, and graceful writing keeps us smiling. Ash & Bone, like everything I've read of Harvey's, is distinguished by seriousness, sophistication and stylistic elegance." Washington Post
"Like Ian Rankin, [Harvey] displays a compassionate view of ordinary people...while ensnaring the reader with tightly woven plots....[T]here is humor and sorrow, rarely simplicity. Highly recommended..." Library Journal
"Harvey writes better crime novels than anyone in the world." The Denver Post
"Harvey is such a good writer that his style carries even when the story falters...and his sense of detail is exquisite." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Detective Sergeant Maddy Birch will never see thirty again. Nor forty. And, after a lifetime on the force, all she has to show for it are a couple of hundred pounds in the bank and a mortgaged flat.
In Cornwall, retired Detective Inspector Elder's solitary life is disturbed by a phone call from his estranged wife. Seventeen-year-old Katherine is running wild. Elder's fears for his daughter are underscored by remorse and guilt, for it was his involvement that led directly to the abduction and rape that has so unbalanced Katherine's life.
There's a connection between Maddy and Elder: a brief, clumsy encounter sixteen years earlier. Just a quick grope and a cuddle, leading to nothing, but leaving a trace of lingering regret.
When the takedown of a violent criminal goes badly wrong leaving both the target and a young constable dead, something doesn't feel right to Maddy. In Ash and Bone, the unsettled, unhappy Elder is once again persuaded out of retirement. A cold, cold case has a devastating present day impact with sinister implications for the crime squad itself. Elder's investigation takes place against the backdrop of his increasing concern for his daughter together with demons of his own he must battle before he can uncover the truth.
About the Author
John Harvey is the author of the richly praised sequence of ten Charlie Resnick novels, the first of which, Lonely Hearts, was named by the Times (London) as one of the 100 Best Crime Novels of the Century. Flesh & Blood, the first novel featuring Frank Elder, won the British Crime Writers' Association's Silver Dagger Award. Harvey lives in Great Britain.

Real Estate Report: New Rules Could Impact Closings
By Judy Szablak
New procedures for real estate closings are likely to impact transactions in Westport and across the nation.
Featured Home This townhouse at 230 Saugatuck Ave. is listed at $648,500. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Photo courtesy of Coldwell Banker Westport-Riverside
The rules, mandated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, became effective Saturday. They are designed to help borrowers understand the terms of their home financing transaction.
A notable change under the new regulations is a mandatory disclosure that requires a three-day waiting period before a borrower can close on a mortgage loan.
This can create last minute snags based upon final walk through issues, or inspections concerns that have not been addressed prior to the closing.

RTM Approves Bridge Study Committee
Westport's Representative Town Meeting (RTM) tonight voted unanimously on a request from the Historic District Commission (HDC) for it to act as the study committee for the Bridge Street Bridge's possible designation as a local historic landmark property.
The 1884-built structure officially named the William F. Cribari Memorial Bridge is Connecticut's oldest, surviving moveable, hand-cranked swing bridge. Since 1987 it has been on the National Register of Historic Places.
A Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT) study almost a year ago found the state-owned Route 136 bridge to be "severely deficient" and among the state's most dangerous, touching off further studies and meetings with First Selectman Jim Marpe and CDOT engineers throughout the summer.
Tonight Marpe told the RTM he remains firm that the bridge's rehabilitation be made in concert with its historic character, and that it not be replaced by a modern span.

P&Z Candidates Spar in League Debate
By James Lomuscio
Tonight's League of Women Voters (LWV) of Westport debate among candidates for the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) at times seemed like a debate about a single subject—Baron's South.

The seven-year effort to build a senior housing complex on the 22-acre town-owned property was mentioned repeatedly by participants seven months after its controversial end in March with the Republican-controlled P&Z declaring all of the land open space.
In fact, the issue became so contentious at the debate's onset that Republican P&Z Chairman Chip Stephens asked all of the other candidates and LWV Moderator Jean Rabinow to move on.
"This has to be more than a one-issue debate," said Stephens, who had earlier cited traffic and congestion as major town issues.

WSJ Highlight's CT Pension Problems
Connecticut, the state with the richest population, may not have enough money in its own pockets, says a story in Monday's Wall Street Journal.
"Connecticut has roughly half of what it needs to pay future retirement benefits for its workers, meaning the home to scores of hedge funds and some of the country's wealthiest towns is wrestling with financial distress rivaling that of Kentucky or Illinois," the newspaper said.
"Some investors concerned about the size of Connecticut's pension hole are backing away from bonds issued by the Constitution State or demanding bigger rewards to hold them.
"Investors in some Connecticut state bonds now get a premium of about half a percentage point above benchmark bonds from other states, up from 0.28 percentage point a year ago, according to Thomson Reuters Municipal Market Data. Only four other U.S. states are now priced as riskier bets."

I think this is some powerful commentary on racial relations. You see, even though he is white, he recognizes everyone as his brother and you shouldn't either. So because of this, don't judge him. Or he was just to high to remember he was white.

Event television is hard to come by these days. With so many of us either recording shows, watching them online or downloading them to our favorite Apple (NYSE:AAPL) product, getting a lot of people to watch something at the same time is becoming a rare feat.
Sunday night's finale of ABC's "Lost" was up to the task. Not a one of the show's millions of fans would've been caught dead not knowing what happened come Monday morning, and I'm sure a good portion of the disenfranchised, weary and just plain curious also came back to see the big reveal.
IN PICTURES: Celebrities With Big Dreams That Paid Off
Before the episode, the questions were everywhere: Will any of the Oceanic 815 survivors make it off the island? Is Jacob really the good guy? What is the purpose of the "source"? Whether you're satisfied with the explanations or not, there are three things of which we can be certain:
1) The 120th and 121st episodes on Sunday are the show's last.
2) Fans will continue to debate the show long after it's over.
3) "Lost" will keep contributing to ABC's - and parent company Disney's (NYSE:DIS) - bottom line for many, many years to come.
By the Numbers
Read on as we go inside the numbers of the confusing, captivating, curious conundrum that is "Lost" - and no, I don't mean 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42.
- September 22, 2004: The date the pilot aired on ABC. Over 18 million viewers tuned in, the best ratings effort by the network in nearly four years.
- $10 million: The production cost of the pilot episode, making it one of the most expensive in history. The first season cost upwards of $50 million to produce, or over $2.2 million per episode. The show was such an expensive and risky proposition that it led to the firing of ABC studio head Lloyd Braun by Disney CEO Bob Iger before the pilot was even done filming.
- 23.47 million: Viewers of the season two premiere, the highest ratings in the show's history to date. (Sunday night's ratings didn't even beat this number.)
- 4.5-6 million: Drop-off in viewers during an interrupted season three, when viewers complained about a several month layoff in new episodes and an ever-confusing storyline. Ratings remained lower in seasons four and five amidst a writer's strike and the ongoing feeling that new mysteries were popping up before older ones were answered.
- $20,000-$40,000: Initial per-episode salaries of the show's cast. Their rates were bumped up to $80,000 per episode in 2005, so the cast members lucky enough to not be killed "off the island" have been reaping the rewards. Matthew Fox was earning a cool $250,000 per episode by 2009, while Evangeline Lilly's paychecks were $150,000 per show.
- #1: Ranking on the DVD sales chart the week Season 2 of "Lost" was released. To date, DVD sales have been in the hundreds of millions. "Lost" is also considered to be the most recorded show on television, and is consistently in the top three of iTunes TV show downloads.
- 150: The low end of the number of "Lost" official tie-in products and merchandise for sale, including over 45 t-shirts, four full-body costumes, five bobble-head dolls, 11 piece of jewelry, six books, five video games, two sets of trading cards … and yes, even action figures.
- $900,000: Cost of a 30-second ad spot in Sunday's finale, a 400% markup from the upfront rates negotiated before the season began.
- 13.5 million: The number of viewers the series finale drew, which included two hours of pre-finale coverage.
The Verdict
In the eyes of a studio exec, any television series is a long-dollar proposition. Good ratings are always priority #1, but the real profitability of a TV show in today's age is determined by syndication fees, DVD sales and other product tie-ins.
In this respect, a show like Lost is superior to shows like "American Idol", which may get higher ratings during the broadcast season but don't pay off for the networks on the back end. Once you know who wins "American Idol" or "Dancing with the Stars", why bother watching it again? "Lost", on the other hand, has intricacy woven into every episode. Many fans were re-watching the entire series leading up to the finale, and you can bet that now that the show is over, ABC/Disney will sell millions of complete series DVD sets, which will run a couple hundred bucks a pop. The mythology of the show will likely spur further product tie-ins and spinoffs, all of which send more dollars trickling back to corporate headquarters. (For another take, check out how to Survive The Downturn By Turning Off The TV.)
The Bottom Line
The scripted television show is still an endangered species. Reality TV is cheaper to produce and almost always returns higher profit margins to the studios. This is why in recent years you've seen so much more of the latter. If "Lost" can go out with the same kind of bang it came in with, it'd be a big boost to the entire genre. Either way, the show will go down as one of the ultimate water cooler topics of all time. And for the next week, don't even try to talk to a "Lostie" about anything else.

HIV & AIDS Health Center
HIV: Nonprogressors and HIV-Resistant People - Topic Overview
A few people with HIV are described as nonprogressors. These people have HIV that does not progress to more severe symptoms or disease, but they can still spread HIV. Most nonprogressors:
- Have lived with the infection for 10 to 15 years and remained healthy.
- Do not have declining CD4+ cell counts.
- Have a very low level of HIV in their blood.
A small number of people never become infected with HIV despite years of exposure to the virus. For example, they may have repeated, unprotected sex with an infected person. These people are said to be HIV-resistant. These people are never infected, so they can't spread HIV.
Recommended Related to HIV/AIDS
HIV, AIDS, and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
People with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) have a weakened immune system. As a result, they are more likely to develop certain cancers. This includes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Also known as AIDS-related lymphoma, this is a cancer of white blood cells. White blood cells fight infection. AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a later stage of HIV infection. Fortunately, antiretroviral therapy has cut the rate of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in HIV-positive people significantly.
Read the HIV, AIDS, and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma article > >
Studies are under way to determine why some people either don't become infected with HIV or, if they do, why they don't develop symptoms or lose CD4+ cells. Research has shown that:
- Some people's CD4+ cells are relatively resistant to HIV. If HIV cannot attach itself to CD4+ cells, it cannot destroy them.
- Some people's immune systems may be better able to destroy the virus.
- Some strains of HIV may not be as harmful.

Thanks for helping!
My wife and I decided to have dinner here our final night of vacation. The food was great and the staff were very courteous.
I loved the vegetable soup, and my family loved the spinach enchiladas and the carnitas, but my husband didn't much care for the taco/tamale/chalupa plate. Outdoor seating looked very nice, although we stayed inside because it was a bit chilly. Loved our waiter.
Enjoyed this place, would highly recommend to others. They have a giant margarita which I saw many a patron enjoying, lol. Food was good and prices were comparable to other local places. Would return!
Great Margaritas. Food was average in my opinion. Service was good. Fun atmosphere. Great drink menu.
Loved this place! Will come back again one day!! It is a hidden gem which we are certainly glad we lucked into finding during our visit.
We walked to here from the hotel ( not easy mostly no sidewalks and busy traffic!) What a gem! Great food and Margueritas and plenty of it
Seriously... awesome atmosphere - delicious food - and too many yummy "beverages" to name!
Geat service and wonderful stuffed Poblanos with a Dos Equis is a perfect meal. We return every summer while visiting

WASHINGTON — Emboldened by a commanding House majority and Senate gains, Republican leaders vowed Wednesday to deliver on their "golden opportunity" to roll back the size of government and President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
"Change course we will," said Ohio Rep. John Boehner, the speaker-in-waiting, describing Tuesday's midterm elections as a mandate to shrink the government. That echoed the unrelenting demand of the tea party activists whose energy and votes helped to fuel the largest turnover in the House in more than 70 years.
The capital awoke — if it ever slept — to a new political order, the largest House turnover in 70 years. With their lopsided win, Republicans are ushering in a new era of divided government and dethroning Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a prime target of their campaign.
"The American people spoke and I think it is pretty clear that the Obama-Pelosi agenda is being rejected by the American people," Boehner said.
Repealing the health care law, with its mandates and subsidies to extend health insurance to nearly all Americans, has been a Republican rallying cry for months but Obama, with his veto power, and the Democrats still in control of the Senate stand in the way. Several Republicans indicated their challenge to the law won't happen overnight when they take power.
"I think it is important for us to lay the groundwork before we begin to repeal this monstrosity," Boehner said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who survived a tea party challenge in Nevada, said "I'm ready for some tweaking" on the health care law but would fight its repeal.
In the heady election aftermath, some Republicans cautioned their own that they have work to do in building public trust in a time when many Americans are fed up with both parties.
"We've been given a second chance and a golden opportunity," said Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, No. 2 Republican in the House. But, he added, "People want to see results." He called for discretionary spending to be cut to 2008 levels, including defense, and for a reduction in the federal payroll.
Sizing up the power shift, Reid said he wants to preserve Obama's sweeping health care law and let taxes rise on upper income Americans, but "I'm not bullheaded."
"If we need to work something out with the people who are really rich, I'll have to look at that," he said on CNN. "If there's some tweaking we need to do with the health care bill, I'm ready for some tweaking. But I'm not going to in any way denigrate the great work we did as a country, and saving America from bankruptcy because of the insurance industry bankrupting us."
Republican Rand Paul, who won a Kentucky Senate seat in a race powered by tea party support, said Americans need not fear gridlock in the next Congress because "debate is healthy."
"It seems like the most fiscally conservative government is always divided government," Paul said on NBC's "Today" show.
At the White House the morning after, senior Obama aides were staying silent so that Obama himself would have the first say, at a 1 p.m. EDT news conference.
Obama called Boehner to congratulate him late Tuesday. He also spoke with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and top Democrats in a series of conversations that reflected the shifting balance of power.
Incomplete returns showed the GOP picked up at least 60 House seats and led for four more, far in excess of what was needed for a majority. About two dozen races remained too close to call.
On their night of triumph, Republicans also gained at least six Senate seats, and tea party favorites Paul in Kentucky, Mike Lee in Utah and Marco Rubio in Florida were among their winners.

I need a Flash presentation developed. I have a 96 second-long audio file that needs to play during the presentation. There are 8-9 "slides" that will appear over the course of the 96 seconds. Each "slide" consists of a static (non-moving image) and some text. Some of the text slides consist of 3-4 bullet points that need to fade in one-by-one.
The presentation should begin to play as soon as the web page (where it has been inserted) loads. Once the presentation is over, it should stop and a "play" icon should appear over it in case the viewer wants to watch it again.
I have ALL of the visuals already created and I can even work up some GIF animations in Photoshop to show you how I want the animations to work. All you are doing is inserting things into Flash and making it all work.

(Dec. 12, 2012) -- The Texas Bar Foundation has awarded a one-year, $20,000 grant to scholars in the Bank of America Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute at The University of Texas at San Antonio to initiate a mentoring program for delinquent foster youth in San Antonio. The program, which explores the use of paid mentors, is expected to model delinquency reduction strategies for local youth by increasing their graduation odds and enhancing their college readiness.
According to the nonprofit organization Children's Rights, more than 1,000 children enter foster care each day. They will remain in foster care for an average of two years, and many will struggle through the emotional transition from adolescence to adulthood at a time when they should be learning the skills for independence.
"Delinquent youth in foster care are, through various circumstances, at a high risk for adult incarceration and other negative life outcomes," said Michael Tapia, assistant professor in the UTSA College of Public Policy. Tapia is a criminal justice scholar focused on youth gangs, minority youth in the criminal justice system and mentoring programs for at-risk youth. "Our program seeks to help youth establish close and trusting relationships with caring mentors who will serve as catalysts to transform their future," he said.
Mentoring programs generally demonstrate many positive effects. Successful mentor-mentee relationships help mentees flourish in academics, job preparation, self-confidence, problem solving and goal setting.
UTSA's unique program will match delinquent foster youth with traditionally college-aged students who are close to them in age, known as "near-peer" matches. UTSA will use paid mentors from its Department of Criminal Justice to guarantee a high-intensity program with regular communication between the mentors and the youth.
UTSA's partner, BCFS Health and Human Services, will refer the youth and host early program activities such as mentor training and matching with youth.
Completion of a UTSA course that helps mentors better understand the challenges that foster youth face and the solutions available to them will be required before a mentor can participate in the program. Additionally, Tapia will provide coaching during the program to help the mentors hone their listening and communication skills.
"Our goal is to facilitate the development of strong connections between our mentors and the foster care youth they serve," said Harriett Romo, UTSA professor of sociology and director of the Bank of America Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute. "We want our foster care youth to reach their fullest potential. We also hope this partnership will allow our criminal justice majors at UTSA to have a fuller understanding of the barriers that youth face as they make choices that could lead to higher education or less productive outcomes."
Since its inception in 1965, the Texas Bar Foundation has awarded more than $14 million in grants to law-related programs. Supported by members of the State Bar of Texas, the Texas Bar Foundation is the nation's largest charitably funded bar foundation.
The Bank of America Child and Adolescent Policy Research Institute at UTSA creates opportunities for low-income children and families in Bexar County to thrive and evaluates the efficacy of programs that address needs unique to the region's population.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format.

You stared in shock as the space-ship landed in the field behind your house.
"What. The. Hell." you muttered, narrowing your eyes at the teal and orange machine that was facing towards you. You muttered some nonsensical things under your breath, slightly angered that some pilot decided to take a lunch break on your property.
Pausing the music on your cassette player, you begrudgingly opened the door to the little house you had recently moved into.
After the incident of New York, you had ended up in the hospital. At first, the doct
Star Wars Training GuideStage 1: youngling Essentially, the Master starts with a blank slate before him. The youngling knows little to nothing of the Force and its uses beyond instinct. It is tempting to skip this stage, but it carries a few essential stages that need to be explored if the person playing the youngling wants a good character development. Alternatively, the 'youngling' can start as somewhat older and more developed, having trained himself a bit before meeting a Master (this is more usual with Sith).Star Wars Training Guide5 years ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This
Step 1: meeting the youngling and bonding Here is a chance for the Master and the student to communicate. Make sure that the other player gets some of your char's background and personality at this stage. This is also an essential part for character development. How the Master and the student experience each other can have great effects on how they grow, together or otherwise.

(Life and Blood)
The first thing I remember upon awakening was that I had been dragged by the hair by those accursed Turks , my head roughly shoved onto a chopping block stained dark by old blood-and soon to be painted anew with mine-and then, amid the gloating-a sharp, final retort of an axe upon my neck
I was dead.
No, I AM supposed to be dead
I turned to observe my surroundings. All was pitch-black-and I felt my neck, realizing my head was still upon my shoulders. Surely it couldnt be a dream?
Welcome Vlad Dracul III
A voice that seems to be wrenched out of the deepest circle of Hell spoke
Indeed, Vlad, you ARE in Hell
The next sentence hit me harder than any arrow. The sardonic tone didnt make it any easier to accept. I am no fool. I know that Heaven will never accept me, even though I had done Gods work for many years, albeit cutting a bloody swath through Romani

As it was, I watched the cigarette as he brushed his nose with his palm, sniffed to try and retract his emotions and then shakily drew from it again.
He was utterly beautiful, even in wretchedness, and although every inhale was agony in his trachea I could see behind his dulled irises the desire to be better, and I was going to get him there.
I tucked my feet under his duvet and didn't care when our feet touched. He flinched but not at me but because his thoughts had been elsewhere. I took no offence and neither of us moved again.
He took nervous stabs at the ashtray as the loose tobacco fizzled and escaped the paper. It was an instinct. A reflex. If the bed had set alight with both of us in it the only reason either of us would have moved would have been to save the other.

This going to be an extended rant on one of my major points in my Insight on Naruto: http://thaeonblade.deviantart.com/art/Logic-s-Insight-Naruto-4-4-339893727
Remember what I said about minor problems building on each other until they become major problems?
Guess what? The problems have become so large that the plot has collapsed in on itself.
Read the title and you'll know exactly why.
In my Insight, I stated that Kishimoto's tendency to needlessly humanize his major antagonists through Talk no Jutsu or some tragic excuse just serves to weaken the character rather then strengthen them. Pain goes from this un-negotiable destroyer of worlds into a sad little boy whose crying for mommy and daddy; Itachi goes from being a silent kinslayer and the ultimate hurdle to Sasuke's character arc into a good boy who should be revered and awed as a shinobi saint; and Madara goes from the Ultimate Old School Badass who made the Kyubi his bitch into an idiotic sore loser who can't accept that s

Before anyone asks: I have mostly positive things to say about Shonen Jump's Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto.
While Naruto does have some pretty major problems that holds it back, I still regard it rather highly compared to most manga. Most of it's major problems comes from not going as far as it could or should in terms of character development, the setting and themes. But that doesn't make it suck.
I's still pretty good.
So you might be asking, if I like it then why am I giving it a Logic's Insight?
One, as a change to tune. I wanted to change things up a little bit by going over something that I like rather than something that I hate. I'm still going to give it an honest review and point out things that I don't like or don't work. But for once, I want to bring insight into something that I regard positively and expose how it works and doesn't work on a fundamental level.
Two, Naruto has major problems. Forums like Onemanga are ablaze with fans arguing over things like a character

The Ebon Hawk was wedged in between two rock masses, frequent lightening scattered around, the wild winds howling about the ships metal skin. He had lost control. The winds were much more then he had thought, and there was a thick fog that hid much of the jagged rock that stood tall into the air. He had, had a very bad feeling before they arrived to Malchor, and it had proven right. He wiped the blood from his nose and felt his forehead, feeling a painful gash there.

The Bad Stuff
Now to start with the stuff that made me write out this review.
Most of these are kind of subjective and they don't ruin the manga...I just felt like the manga would be stronger without these problems.
For now, we'll start with situations that I felt caused a lot of headache for the main character for no other reason than just because.
Problem 1) Sakura
I'll just be up front and honest about this: I don't like the character of Sakura.
But for the longest time, I wasn't quite sure as to why I didn't like her.
At first, it was because she was useless in the grand scheme of things. While that's still kind of true, I was thinking more in areas of action and skill rather than overall. But, Sakura is a different type of shinobi from Sasuke and Naruto. Within that field, she's a very good shinobi and even killed one of the most powerful and senior members of Akatsuki after countering a poison that no one had ever seen before.
It's not because she's

With the most recent chapter, it looks like Kishimoto is pouring fuel onto the flames.
While the shipping wars of Naruto will never be a quiet ember, it seemed like things were relaxing between Sasuke choosing to turn away from the dark side and the war against the Bijuu. Hell! The thing that most fans were excited about was seeing all four previous hokage show up on the battlefield and start kicking ass.
Then Minato asked if Sakura was Naruto's girlfriend and Naruto bumbled...
Now my fellow NaruHina fans are calling for Kishi's blood since Minato gave off an initial blessing to NaruSaku and the implication that Naruto still has feelings for Sakura despite anything that Hinata feels for him or has done for him. NaruSaku fans are feeling very vindicated, only to have clash against the SakuSasu fans who've seen their ship rise out of the depths of the sunken sea.
I'm more annoyed that Kishi doesn't just nut up and outright confirm the canon pairing for Naruto. Sure, people ar

I know that I'm pretty late to the party.
But Naruto is done.
At least the main manga is. Sure, Kishimoto will release several spin-off stories focusing on side characters and the next generation.
But the story of Naruto that began when many of us were young is now concluded for better or worst.
For the longest time, I considered writing a few last words about the series, but wondered if I actually wanted to. I'd felt as though I'd already said my piece on Naruto entirely and that there wasn't anything else to say. Even when the Final Arc kept throwing things at me to rant about, nothing stuck because I wasn't sure if it was worth it or a repeat of what I've already said before.
So why am I talking about it now? The Naruto Panel at Naka-Con helped and I even got a ticket to another convention in the summer. It also helps that I largely distanced myself from Naruto and focused on other things. I don't even plan to watch Naruto: The Last Movie though I hear that it's good in the romance
Metroid: HoU: The Royalty Upgrade"The Royalty Upgrade." Samus selected, brushing a few loose strands of hair off her face. The bad thing about her last upgrade was that once she removed the upgrade, she was left with a mountain of useless hair. She had cut it back to normal, if she ever needed to make a wig She took the chip from the machine and plugged it into her zero suit, yet again. So many zero suit upgrades. Maybe she was just doing something wrong when she was choosing them.

I'm done.
I leap and roll off of the train and watch it crash off a cliff.
Things have become so stupid, convoluted and contrived that I no longer care about how the Naruto series ends. Kishimoto has demonstrated that he doesn't give a damn about story consistency and he's just going to do whatever the hell he wants regardless of if it makes sense.
It's his story, so technically he can do that. But that doesn't mean that he should.
When a writer just ignores their own set rules and starts doing whatever the hell they want, then it shows in the story and weakens it. Things like Deus Ex Machina/Diabolus Ex Machina are employed when the writer writes themselves into a corner with no other way out; Handwaves are meant to direct the audience away from plotholes so that they can "enjoy" the show; or even jump sharking just to get a cheap reaction from the audience.
There's a lot of them, but some are just symptoms of the disease or signals from noise. Stuff like Naruto disregarding Hinata's

He'd only been in the house for a couple of days and hadn't figured out all the little places that Nick kept his snack foods. As he turned again, the knife slipped out of his hand and fell clattering to the floor. Bending down to get it, he was reminded of the roll of fat around his mid-section.

The Revenge Of Oyster Boy
Nine months came,
The mother gave birth to a dame.
Their wish for a girl came true.
They named her Lizzie,
She was sweet and very pretty,
But her obsession for the Gothic made her creepy.
She loved to wear black,
Wherever she went,
She would give her relatives heart attacks
When she wore black, that's a fact!
When she grew older,
She became strangely anti-social,
And preferred books to friends
Such a pity, for one so privileged with charisma and good looks.
One day, she came upon the skeleton in her family's life: Sam,
Her dead brother who resembled a clam
So one day, on an excuse to go to bed,
Due to "a fever burning in her head".
She read about her brother's death and Lizzie Borden.
So morbid.. for a girl so modern.
"Vengeance," she finally said (eerily)
"Will be meted to my parents resting in bed."
With gloves and an axe,
With a face pale like powdered anthrax
She crept into the parents' room, relaxed.

Problem 4) Pile-Up of Things not making any sense
Nothing truly detrimental to the story's plot or story, but you'll notice a few things that don't make sense or contradict certain threads of logic.
For example, I'm not the biggest fan of Tsunade. Because I feel like there's little justification for her becoming the Fifth Hokage.
She's alright as a character and she did a decent job in the role considering the circumstances. But her character dilemna and flaws are automatically erased because "Naruto" has that influence on people.
Except that there still there honestly.
Tsunade abandoned the village during a time of war because of lingering grief over the death of her boyfriend and her little brother. So she copes with the pain by gambling her clan's/grandfather's inheritance (where else do you think she got the money to burn?) and running up a huge debt over the next twenty or so years.
That's gotta be the most selfish thing that I've ever heard.

Problem 7) The Importance of Sasuke
The biggest hurdle of getting connected to the Narutoverse and the series in general is Sasuke himself. He's way too emphasized in the series for poorly explained or logical reasons.
And look, it's got nothing to do with the Uchiha massacre stuff. Having his character development shaped around that one night is pretty realistic and he reacts how anyone else would've. Especially after finding out that he'd spent half of his life trying to kill one guy when it was actually someone's fault.
It's not even the fact that he spams his sharingan or that he's a jerk most of the time. Those don't help, but it's beyond that.
The problem with Sasuke is that his role has been expanded as an end-all dilemna to Naruto's goals for no other reason than that he's Sasuke. I don't mind having a secondary protagonist, but there's even times when Sasuke's situations are emphasized as more important than Naruto's.
Why? Because Sasuke is involved.

My trunk is hollow

What does it matter, what they had said
When at the end of the day, their words are dead?
The pleasant words they spoke, the vows they made
Now exist nowhere but in my head.
They helped some flowers, pulled out a few weeds
But did they really do 'good deeds'?
The garden has perished
Only death remains
Nothing but decay
Is found along the lanes.

Can we be saved? And how?
From who can Hope be drawn?
Can we cease being forlorn?

And I have unwanted foggy memories
I am different from before
This is not what I asked for

I sat there without any cognition
My mind gave in to dull submission
I do not advance in life as all the rest
I'm detached from society and its best

What is this dead personality?
Why can't I function independently?
There's a reduction in initiative
And soon after loss in incentive

On my bed and on my chair

Hidden and closed off from my life
