JAPAN - North Korea has transported what are believed to be components for a ballistic missile to a launch site in what appears to be preparation for a missile launch, according to Japanese government sources.
The United States informed Japan, among others, that its intelligence satellite this month showed what appeared to be evidence of parts similar to those used in a missile launched from Tongchang-ri, North Korea, in April being brought to the same launch site.
Japan, the United States and other countries are trying to confirm if the components are for a ballistic missile, the sources said. Since the parts arrived, activity around the site has intensified, the sources added.
In April, North Korea launched a ballistic missile it claimed was a satellite from the Tongchang-ri launch site, in the northwestern part of the country, but the launch failed as the rocket blew up shortly after taking off.
About one month before the April launch, North Korea announced it would launch an observation satellite. It also informed the International Civil Aviation Organisation and the International Maritime Organisation of the plan.
Pyongyang has yet to make a similar announcement for a future missile launch. "We're currently collecting various kinds of information carefully," a Japanese government source said Friday.
Japan restarted bilateral talks with North Korea for the first time in four years on November 15.
However, if Pyongyang launches a missile again, such an action would make it difficult to continue the talks.
"North Korea should act in accordance with the statement of the UN Security Council president [that condemned North Korea's missile launch in April]," a senior foreign ministry official said.
Some sources said North Korea would not launch a missile so soon after the appointment of new leadership in China, with which Pyongyang has a close relationship.
Some observers believe North Korea's latest move is meant to intimidate Japan, South Korea and the United States ahead of a House of Representatives election in Japan in December, a South Korean presidential election in the same month and the start of newly reelected US President Barack Obama's new administration in January, the sources said.

Home>Cell Phones>Cell Phones: News>The Best Samsung Galaxy S4 Cases
Summary: A list of our top cases for the Samsung Galaxy S4. From colorful designs to the truly rugged, we hunted down the best GS4 protection we could find.
Alex Angove
| 5 July 2013
Samsung's Galaxy S4 recently passed another major milestone, selling over 20 million units in just 68 days. With that kind of traction amongst smartphone shoppers, accessory manufacturers are bound to sit up and start paying attention. But for as many great Galaxy S4 cases as you'll find on the market, there are more dodgy offerings to dodge.
We decided it would be nice to do the hard yards for you and find the best Galaxy S4 cases out there right now. So, with no further ado, here's our top picks.
X-doria offers a small range of cases, but in a variety of differing aesthetics. The fake-metallic Engage Form VR receives a lot of attention, but it's definitely our least favorite of the bunch. The other two models; the Dash Icon (left) and Dash Pro (right) are much more suited to our tastes.
The Dash Icon has some eye-catching patterns and it made from a softer material. It's more of a standard case in that it offers no covering for the screen, but we think it looks great and should offer solid protection.
The Dash Pro is made from fake leather and offers a flip-cover to protect the display. However, it looks like it offers less protection against drops than the Icon. The Pro's various colors are more subdued than the Icon's, but are still far more classy than most options out there.
Price: US$29.99
Skech cases are generally quite flexible, which is usually the sign of a well-made case. Rigid, brittle plastic breaks easily and usually doesn't last long – not so with rubber and other more malleable materials.
Our favorites are the Groove and GripShock designs. The Groove is available in multiple eye-catching designs, while the GripShock is a full-rubber case available in 4 colors. We're also fans of the weave pattern on the back of the GripShock; too often full-rubber cases are quite boring to look atm.
Price: US$19.99 (starting)
What Luardi cases lack in materials they make up for in unique designs. There's already a pretty sizable range of GS4 cases. Our favorites would have to be the Golden Paisley, Diamond Pattern and Hipster Gear.
Etsy is a great place to find original phone covers. The best part is, most vendors are so small that you're unlikely to ever run in to anyone who's seen your case before, ensuring that your phone will always stand out.
Aesthetic Case GS4 covers come in a range of really great designs, ranging from complete originals to artistic takes on familiar geeky themes and pop images.
Our personal favorites are the Dr Who Tardis and the Audrey Hepburn cases, but you can decide for yourself.
As a bonus most of the case designs are made from both plastic and rubber, rather than just solid plastic. This adds to durability, protection and grip.
Price: AUD$11.29
Unlike most Etsy case makers, My Charming Space has a variety of styles, as well as a wide range of aesthetic designs. Some are plastic, some fake leather and others are a mixture of a variety of materials.
Price: AUD$11.29-$20.33
After something really different? Try a knitted GS4 pouch. This one isn't going to be for everyone, but Scruffy Ducks certainly brought a smile to our faces.
Price: AUD$13.81
The iLuv Wallet Case is made from actual leather. It's slim, has places for cards, a clear compartment for photo ID and a place to keep notes.
Unlike most wallet cases the actual wallet-part is around the back, leaving the screen free of a covering flap. Some people will prefer this, as it can be annoying having to fold back a piece of leather every time you want to use your screen.
However, there's something to be said for protecting that display.
Price: $49.99
The Incipio Watson Wallet case is intriguing in that the wallet section is detachable from the protective case. It has room for 3 cards, but no note section. Instead the notes are held by an elastic strap that goes around the back.
Good news for vegans; despite the Watson Wallet being made from genuine leather, Incipio insists that it's 100% eco friendly. Available in black, brown, white with blue strap and white with pink strap.
Price: $44.99
Carved wooden cases come in a wide variety of designs, ranging from etched awesomeness like their Aztec Calendar, to fitted pieces like Random Puzzle, to plain wood like their Redwood Burl.
Wooden cases are often difficult to come by, but carved has them by the bucketful. We seriously recommend checking them out.
Price: US$26-$31
DFVCR is another Etsy creator. With a smaller range than Carved, DFVCR still offers some cool unique designs. Our favorites are the Tree of Life and Octopus designs. What's yours?
The Otterbox Defender is a multi-part, serious piece of smartphone protection.
Buyers can even custom order their own case, picking from the range of different colors and designs.
Puregear cases are pretty much as tough as they come. With models ranging all the way up to the PX360 Weatherproof Extreme.
Complete with karabiner/carabiner belt clip and a 3-layer system of protection, the PX360 should handle even the toughest conditions.
As an added perk, it even looks pretty good.
Price: $US19.99-$49.99
We couldn't finish this piece without giving a shout-out to this silver studded S4 case from Etsy. Don't ask us; we don't know. Just look at it.
It's beautiful.

Email rates Ipswich High girls without prom dates
IPSWICH, Apr 14, 2011 (The Salem News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- The close-knit community of Ipswich has been sent spinning by malicious emails circulated this week rating 22 high school girls without prom dates, detailing their interests, looks and dating experience.
The messages, sent to numerous Ipswich High students on Sunday, are under investigation by the Ipswich police. The sender gained access to student email addresses through a Facebook account set up by junior class officers related to next month's prom.
The junior class officers, who alerted Principal Barry Cahill about the emails Monday morning, did not send the messages, according to a statement the schools released yesterday.
"We're trying to determine where the emails began. Whether it's a criminal matter at this point, we're not sure," said Ipswich police Lt. Dan Moriarty.
School Resource Officer Shawn Smith is working to trace the origin of the messages, Moriarty said. It's possible the sender could be charged with making threats or criminal harassment.
"We'll have to see if any of those (charges) apply at all," said Moriarty, "Or, it could be dealt with internally at the school." According to the school's statement, the first email claimed to help juniors who might be looking for a date to the junior prom. It contained a list of 22 female students from several grades at Ipswich High, giving their age, interests and body type. A second email rated their dating experience level, assigning one to three asterisks for each student -- three being the most experienced.
"My initial reaction to it was as the father of a daughter," said School Committee Member Jeffrey Loeb, whose daughter, an Ipswich High junior, saw the emails. "My focus was more personal, asking my daughter if she was a target. ... The fact that negative things were said about kids bothered her.
"What I sensed from her was that there were some comments about kids that ranged from positive to benign to cruel," said Loeb, who said he had not seen the messages about the 22 students.
On Monday, Cahill spoke to the entire student body and sent an email to parents condemning the emails, explaining that the messages were not sent by the junior class officers and that an investigation was underway.
"We have made it clear that none of this information (from the emails) maybe be copied, duplicated or posted in the building," Cahill wrote in his email to parents.
Loeb said, as a father, he appreciated Cahill's proactive communication to parents about the situation.
"Barry (Cahill) let us know, and that's typical Barry," said Loeb.
Superintendent Rick Korb was out of the office and unavailable for comment yesterday, but released a six-paragraph statement to media outlets. Cahill did not return two phone calls seeking comment before the Salem News deadline yesterday.
Ipswich Middle School Principal Cheryl Forster cautioned students not to talk to the media yesterday, as television news crews swarmed the High Street campus shared by the middle and high school.
"We are all safe. I am receiving calls asking why the (news) trucks are here because, of course, parents who see them would be worried," Forster wrote in an email to parents. "This will soon become old news, and we do hope that those who made the poor choice (to send the emails) will be consequenced and learn from this." Moriarty said the police are working closely with the schools in their investigation. The district attorney's office had been notified of the situation but was not investigating as of yesterday, he said.
The Ipswich Schools' detailed anti-bullying policy, adopted last year, states bullying is prohibited on school grounds or at school-related functions.
Cyberbullying -- using technology, including the Internet and email -- is also prohibited off school property if the acts create a hostile environment at the school, infringe on students' rights or disrupt the educational process, according to the policy.

Nach Baliye 3 - Elimintation episodes aired on Saturday are not just about tensions, stress & anxiety.. Besides the nervous energy visible amongst the contestants, the elimination episodes are also about some fun, some excitement and lots of masti.
Every week, celebrity guests from the television & film world, are invited to the show to perform. Last week saw Amrita Arora performing to her best friend, Kareena Kapoor's hit number.. and this week will witness the performance of one of television's cutest, real life jodi - that of Shraddha Nigam & Karan Grover (of Dill Mill Gaye fame).
How was it to come on stage with your love, Karan? "The fact that we were onscreen together for the first time, was more exciting for us. We were working together for the first time in our lives. It was really nice to know that our chemistry worked on screen. Being in love and working together was really a memorable moment for us. I am always a perfectionist, but to see Karan too, give his best was really nice. We got to know that we both have that never-to-let-go-of-anything spirit and it was nice."
What is the number you performed on? "We performed on the number, 'Ae Meri Meri Zohra Jabeen' from Hera Pheri. We felt really nice to perform here for another reason, because our choreographers for the performance were Harshal and Vithall, who choreographed for Husein and Tina last year. They both are gems and I really love them."
Another reason to tune into Nach Baliye this weekend.. Watch Shraddha & Karan's offscreen chemistry spill over onscreen, to some lively music and awesome dance moves..

A great beginners toy
Reviewed: 01 May 2016 by chuchoter, a Gay Single Female
This does what it says on the tin, and was actually the first dildo I ever bought for use with a partner. My plan was to buy this as a cheap tester dildo to see if I enjoyed strap on sex and then invest in a better one.
It certainly served its purpose, and I had a lot of fun with it. My partner, who was more experienced than I was with strap-on sex, hadn't used one quite so big before, so she got a bit of a thrill out of that. I quite like that is fairly straight but also very flexible, as I often find firmer toys quite painful. The only downside to it being more flexible is that when things get slightly more... vigorous it has a tendency to pop out!
As far as materials, the suction cup works really well (my partner at the time, having a bit of a weird sense of humour, used to have a lot of fun sticking it to the ceiling). It doesn't collect dust, either, the way my other silicone toys do. And the plastic case it comes in I actually kept, which was handy for storage.
Overall I think this is a really great toy to start with before committing to a more expensive dildo.
- Pros
- Fun pink color, thick, flexible.
- Cons
- I'd prefer one with ribbing.
- Bottom line
- Great beginners toy!

I ordered a Basix Mr Smoothy and it is exactly what it says on the tin. It is the perfect length and width, and pink so aesthetically pleasing, and it has a suction cup.
It is super flexible and bends to fit your inner curves. Its nice fat head is perfect for G-Spot stimulation, so if like me you are tiny down there, you don't have to fully insert it to get a delicious thrill.
The suction cup is also great. My boyfriend at the time stuck it to a chair and had me ride it full throttle whilst giving me a hairbrush spanking and it didn't budge. Because the toy isn't a realistic looking dildo, it is great to use as a couple.
- Pros
- Its fat head.
- Cons
- I liked everything about it.
- Bottom line
- A perfect toy and one I would highly recommend.

Nice and smooth
Reviewed: 10 March 2016 by koalagirl, a Straight Going Steady Female
I bought this to replace my old dildo, which I didn't like 'cause it was so hard and veiny. This filled all my criteria: not too big and veiny, had a suction cup, was affordable, and the most important, it was available in pink.
The package was nice and simple, I don't really like those with silicone bimbos on cover. As I opened it, it had quite rubbery smell, but it didn't felt as sticky, as my previous jelly dildo.
This is very smooth and soft, yet hard enough to be easily inserted. Almost felt like a real penis. The big head sure massaged my sweet spot nicely. I complemented the session with some clitoral stimulation, and that was mind-blowing.
I was actually pretty surprised about this toy. I never knew dildo would feel this good.
- Pros
- Nice size and shape, quite cute actually.
- Cons
- The rubbery smell, though I'm sure it'll wash away after a shower session.
- Bottom line
- Perfect dildo for a nice price.

The Genizah at the House of Shepher: A Novel
by Tamar Yellin, Tamar Yellin (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was a riveting read for me. I really enjoyed the glimpses into the past given through the writings, as well as the complex interplay between family members and the sense of place given through the descriptive prose.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.The author brings some stunning imagery to this novel, but that is all there is to it. Overall, the plot of this story is slow moving and thin. Although the author does a great job of giving the story a sense of time and space, it simply isn't enough to keep the poorly paced narrative moving. If I hadn't received this from early reviewers, I never would have finished it.
Very interesting and well-written book, but I was not certain regarding the ending. The family's history is interesting, as is Shula's present life. If the writing had not been so good, I would not have been as interested in the family history.
Pretty decent first novel which is perhaps a little over complex , there are some very short chapters based on biblical musings that could easy be ommitted without any loss to the plot . The plot is very subtly presented and the book progresses slowly and although entertaining is not gripping. I am also unsure if the use of its 'jewishness' as a marketing tactic will be effective in the UK as the book will interest the wider reading public as well as the compartivly small jewish market.
Interesting first novel which although slow to develop is well worth reading
This "debut novel is warm and engrossing, rich with historical detail and unmet yearning" A warmly portrayed, densely researched fictional history of a scattered Jewish clan migrated to Jerusalem

Shortlisted for the 2006 Wingate Prize (Jewish Quarterly)
Shulamit Shepher pays one last visit to her grandparents' home in Jerusalem after a fateful discovery—a mysterious and valuable Torah manuscript that's been stashed away in the attic genizah, a depository for old or damaged sacred documents, has been uncovered. So begins a remarkable journey that spans four generations of the family Shepher, one that begs Shulamit to reconsider not only her ancestors' history and heritage but her own passions, faith, and choices for the future. Haunting and illuminating, The Genizah at the House of Shepher is a tale of love and loss, exile and belonging, tradition and myth that no reader will soon forget.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:16:38 -0400)
Shulamit, a biblical scholar from England, returns to her grandparents' home in Jerusalem for a visit after an absence of many years. Almost immediately she becomes embroiled in a family feud over possession of the so-called Shepher Codex, a mysterious manuscript which has been discovered in the attic.… (more)

The Real Truth about Lack of Sleep and Dark Circles under Eyes
For many people, getting a good night's sleep is a long forgotten memory, and instead of awaking refreshed and full of energy, they often emerge from their beds tired and with dark, puffy circles under the eyes. Fatigue can cause many problems, but dark eye circles are one that can be avoided or treated.
Essentially, as a person sleeps, the blood will settle into the area under the eyes, but upon arising, the blood will disperse naturally leaving behind a refreshed set of eyes. For those who do not get enough sleep, the blood is unable to disperse the blood back into the lymphatic vessels, leaving behind dark circles. As more and more sleep is continually lost, the circles can get worse, leading to unhealthy and sagging skin as well. This can become a permanent issue unless it is addressed with a good eye cream.
Most people seem to think that dark eye circles are just another sign of aging, and this is true, but it can also mean that someone is not getting enough oxygen or having serious health problems. If the symptoms of dark circles persist, or if new symptoms arise, it is a good idea to have a visit with a doctor to rule out any underlying health issues.
For those who would like to overcome dark eye circles, there are many over the counter beauty aids that can help reverse the damage caused by lack of sleep. The best eye cream for dark circles will offer ingredients that can relieve puffiness by stimulating circulation and can help reduce the darkened pigmentation under the eyes. However, since even the best eye cream for dark circles will often take weeks to work, those that would like immediate results may need to seek expert advice on addressing the issue more aggressively.
Dark eye circles don't have to cause embarrassment or make someone look ill, tired and haggard. The best eye creams for dark circles will offer a slow and steady progression to a health and radiant look, and will do so in a way that can bring long term results.
In the meantime, make an effort to get more rest, and perhaps slightly elevate the bed to prevent the blood from collecting under the eye skin. Drink plenty of fluids, exercise, eat right and use a good quality eye cream that has a reputation for professional ingredients and good results.

After we took down some Plasma Grunts, we were kicked off the Plasma Frigate. We went upwards to Chargestone Cave and caught our final party member,
the Drilbur. It was really tough to train her (yeah, her...sorry, Shivi!) but once she evolved, it was smooth sailing from there. Aaron also evolved while we were in here. We got to Mistralton and met Skyla and met up with Professor Juniper. We healed and went on to Celestial Tower and got the Lucky Egg from Juniper as well. Praise Dale. Skyla was easy to beat since none of my party members are weak to Flying, and we have lots of good moves to deal with them (ThunderPunch, Rock Slide, Ice Beam...she didn't stand a chance).

It's a sort of flour ball with diced meat in it and it tastes great with yogurt. Now that I live with two cultures I make sure to bring out the best of both sides. However, yesterday's dinner was mante.

For day 8 and 9 I decided to spoil my family. My husband and daughter love shish taouk, therefore it wasn't too hard to decide what to cook these days. During Ramadan I don't like to cook too much, so you'll notice that we sometimes eat the same thing for two days in a row.

Ramadan Day 6+7 - Tashrib & Sweet Bites
Last Ramadan I promised I would post every single day, however, that promise was not kept since a lot of things got in the way. To keep this promise, I've decided to continue from last year. Starting with what we had to eat for day 6 and 7.
During these two days we decided to have tashrib, which is a tomato sauce with chicken and bread. The bread I'm using is homemade and you can find the recipe here. For dessert I made sweet bites, which is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert also known as legamat or awamat. It's mostly served during Ramadan.

Coming from a Middle Eastern culture dates are really important (and delicious.) It's used in many dishes, but it's also good as a simple snack.
About a year ago I discovered a date cake recipe - and it's delicious! The cake is really moist and the caramel sauce together with the dates make it a perfect combo.

A grunt plugin to synthesize templates, variables and content to a static file.
A grunt plugin to synthesize templates, variables and content to a static file.
This plugin requires Grunt
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-synthesize --save-dev
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named
synthesize to the data
object passed into
gruntinitConfig synthesize: options: // Task-specific options go here. your_target: // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here. ;
Default value:
The template engine to use when synthesizing content and variables to the resulting file. This should be a supported engine of consolidate and must be installed separately.
When no engine is defined, a simple replacement will be used. It will replace
all occurrences of a placeholder
{variable} with the variables value from
the front matter.
As this is a simple substitution, nested attributes (like
site) can't be
Default value:
The path to the default template file to use when the content file does not
have a template defined as
template in the font matter.
Default value: The number of available CPUs
The number of files processed in parallel.
Boolean or
Default value:
Whether to copy or set the existing file permissions. Set to true to copy the existing file permissions. Or set to the mode, i.e.: 0644, that copied files will be set to.
Default value:
A set of global attributes that can be accessed as
site in content and
In this example, the default options are used to do something with whatever.
So if the
testing file has the content
Testing and the
123 file had the
1 2 3, the generated result would be
Testing, 1 2 3.
gruntinitConfig synthesize: options: {} files: 'dest/default_options': 'src/testing' 'src/123' ;
In this example, custom options are used to do something else with whatever
else. So if the
testing file has the content
Testing and the
123 file had
the content
1 2 3, the generated result in this case would
Testing: 1 2 3 !!!
gruntinitConfig synthesize: options: separator: ': ' punctuation: ' !!!' files: 'dest/default_options': 'src/testing' 'src/123' ;
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.

The Braves (In general)
- The Team: Their roles are thus.
- The Leader: Saizo
- The Lancer: Sasuke
- The Big Guy: Kamanosuke, Seikai
- The Smart Guy: Rokuro, Kakei
- The Chick: Isanami
- Sixth Ranger: Jinpachi
- The Mentor: Yukimura
Saizo Kirigakure
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono
- Attack Reflector: His "Heaven's Return" technique.
- Badass
- BFS / Black Swords Are Better: His Marishi-ten.
- Bishōnen
- Calling Your Attacks: "On,Marishi-ten Sowaka!", "Shunko!" "Ougi: Tenga Gaeshi" "Ninpou: Samidare!"
- Can't Hold His Liquor: He has some "tricks" to keep sober.
- Character Development: In the start of the series he was aloof, uncaring, aggressive, and hated the thought of working under a lord/being a Sanada's Brave. By the end, while not necessarily nice, he's far more gentle and calm, and openly admits liking being a Brave. Kakei even lampshades it when they were drinking in Jinpachi's ship, noting that he has become more gentle.
- Chick Magnet: Though he attracts not only chicks. Look below.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Receives THREE from Hanzo, and another one from Sasuke in their second fight. Gives one to Kamanosuke.
- The Determinator: No matter how much he's crippled, he refuses to give up.
- Even the Guys Want Him: Kamanosuke certainly does.
- Expy: Saizo, in appearance, is nearly identical to Noctis. He's also similar to Uchiha Sasuke
- Flash Step: His "Shunko" technique. During his brief fight with Anastasia, he shows that he's capable of using a Flash Step without his Shunko, which is part of his "Hunter Falcons" technique.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Gets several ones in his body from his battles with Hanzo.
- Heroes Prefer Swords
- I Call It "Vera": Calls his sword "Marishi-ten Sowaka".
- If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him: Is stopped by Isanami from killing Kamanosuke when he had the latter in a Sword over Head position.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Light Is Not Good: More of light is not nice. Also, he dresses completely in black, and his sword is black too.
- Lightning Bruiser
- Only Sane Man: Divides this position with Rokuro, as amongst the braves, they are the most reasonable and down-to-earth ones. However, he's quite capable of having some fits of rage or bloodlust.
- Red Baron: "The Marishi-ten", "The undefeated one".
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: He gets one during his fight with Kamanosuke.
- The Rival: Views Sasuke and Hanzo as his rivals. The former reciprocates. The latter thinks that Saizo is way out of his level for him (Hanzo) to consider him (Sasuke) a rival.
- Tall, Dark and Handsome
- Tsundere: Towards Isanami. It's more pronounced in the early chapters/episodes.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Sasuke.
- Worf Effect: He's thrashed around by Hanzo in his three battles with the man, and by Sasuke during his "second fight" with him.
- Worf Had the Flu: During his second fight with Sasuke, he was thrashed mostly because was having a Heroic BSOD for failing to protect Isanami. Sasuke himself was only punching Saizo to get him out of it.
Voiced by: Rina Sato
- A-Cup Angst: Ironically she is far from being flat-chested. Too bad that other women in the series are much better endowed.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Her hair is dark green in the manga at first. She gets later recolored to cyan, and becomes almost white in the anime.
- Big Eater
- Can't Hold Her Liquor
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Towards Saizo. She combines this with No Sense of Personal Space.
- Dark Is Not Evil
- Distressed Damsel
- God in Human Form
- Hair Decoration: A jade headpiece that it's clearly more than for looks. Its name is the Kushimitama.
- Modesty Shorts
- Person of Mass Destruction
- Supernatural Gold Eyes
- Survivor's Guilt: Her weak spot.
- Sweet Tooth
Sanada Yukimura
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa
- Bishōnen: More like biseinen but still.
- Cool Old Guy
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Strongly implied. He never really fights in the series, and the closest to one is when Masamune forces him to duel. Masamune is using a real katana, while the only "weapon" he has is his fan. Still, he holds his own quite easily, even blocking one strike with his sandals, but decides to throw the fight soon after, laughing all the way.
- Dirty Old Man: Combined with Lovable Sex Maniac.
- Guile Hero
- Obfuscating Stupidity: It's clear that he knows more than he lets on, that he's more powerful than it seems, and his cheerful persona is just a masquerade. Saizo openly criticizes him for it, but he just laughs it off. He's basically the Kisuke Urahara of the series.
- Even the Guys Want Him: Just ask Rokuro.
Unno Rokuro
Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya
- Bare Your Midriff
- Battle Butler: He isn't exactly a butler, but fits this trope quite nicely.
- Bishōnen
- Even the Guys Want Him: It is made clear many times that men and women alike find him extremely attractive. Jinpachi's crew of pirates make it quite obvious that they would like him to get black out drunk.
- Eyepatch of Power
- Eye Scream: He pierces his eye with Anastasia's blade when she was trying to steal his eye, which contains valuable information.
- Making a Splash: He is the Brave that controls water. However, his use of it is quite uncommon, as he mixes water with shouts to create waves that incapacitate his enemies.
- Nice Guy
- Beware the Nice Ones: Kamanosuke and Saizo learned that the hard way.
- Only Sane Man: Divides this position with Saizo.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin
- Senseless Sacrifice: Tries to do one to slow down Isanami. Saizo stops him,though.
- The Stoic
- Not So Stoic: He smiles quite a few times in the series.
- Undying Loyalty: To Yukimura. Enough to sacrifice his eye so that the bad guys could not get the info contained on it.
Sarutobi Sasuke
Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara
- Badass: He's capable of fighting Saizo in equal footing.
- Badass Boast: Gives one to Oukatsu.Sasuke: The forest is my domain. Don't think you can go home alive.
- The Beastmaster
- Big "NO!": When Kamanosuke asks him permission to skin his weasel to use it as a scarf.
- Bishōnen
- Calling Your Attacks
- Curb-Stomp Battle: While giving his Get A Hold Of Yourself Man / "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Saizo, he and Saizo are fist-fighting. Sasuke downright trashes Saizo around to prove his point. Also, his battle in the forest with Oukatsu is implied to be one.
- Curtains Match the Window: Has orange hair and eyes.
- Cuteness Proximity: He's already friendly to animals, but when he meets Veronica, Jinpachi's panther, he's downright in love with her.
- Fire-Forged Friends: He and Saizo, though they wouldn't admit it.
- Friend to All Living Things: Comes with being The Beastmaster
- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Gives one to Saizo.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Grass means forest, forest means that he can ask every kind of animal for help.
- Heroic BSOD: Gets a brief one after Anastasia's betrayal.
- Implied Love Interest: Seems to have feelings for Isanami. But besides a few blushes, he never says anything about it.
- In-Series Nickname: Saizo calls him 'monkey' on regular basis, much to his annoyance.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Nice Hat
- Not Good with People: Is REALLY shy, and has a habit of leaving the scene when confronted.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Beautifully mixed with his Get A Hold Of Yourself Man speech.
- The Rival: Considers Saizo his rival. It's reciprocated.
- Terse Talker: Yukimura even comments that "he has never heard Sasuke talk much" when he was giving his speech to Saizo.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Saizo.
- Warrior Therapist: To Saizo, when the latter was having a Heroic BSOD.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Controls "grass" according to Yukimura.
Voiced by: Yuu Asakawa
- An Ice Person
- Berserk Button: Getting peeked in bath, of course. Not really, her real one is family. Due to her Dark and Troubled Past, Ana seriously hated the concept of 'family' and hanging around with the Braves pissed her to no end, it's surprising that she managed to keep that Cool Big Sis facade until her time of betrayal.
- Boobs of Steel
- Calling Your Attacks
- Combat Stilettos
- Cool Big Sis: For awhile. She deconstructs that when she betrayed the team.
- Dark Action Girl
- Dark and Troubled Past: She was a Russian little girl who got stuck in Japan, seeing her parents dead in the middle of snowstorm. Then the family heirloom got stolen by Hanzou and being taught with many dark teachings made Ana a real cold kunoichi.
- D-Cup Distress: When Isanami complains that her chest is small, Anastasia says that, for a kunoichi, being flat-chested was much more comfortable, but Isanami says that she should be proud of her size.
- Forced into Evil: Zig-zagged. At first, Ana really was forced to do nefarious things by Hanzou against her will because that's the only way to retrieve her family heirloom. His dark teachings, however, influenced her enough that Ana didn't feel forced in being evil. However, Jinpachi can still sense she still feels kind of forced deep down.
- Good Bad Girl: More so in the manga than in the anime.
- HeelFace Turn: The only one of Hanzou's five to be spared (because the one who fought her has hots on her), and once she learns that the heirloom that Hanzou used to make her do his biddings was fake, she was ready to let Jinpachi kill her, but eventually accepts to become his companion.
- Icy Blue Eyes: Comes with being An Ice Person.
- McNinja
- The Mole
- Ms. Fanservice: Voiced by Yuu Asakawa no less.
- Rapunzel Hair
- Sensual Slavs
- She Is All Grown Up: In the manga, Saizo was amazed to see a golden-haired beauty bathing in a mountain stream and initially thought she was a spirit. Even when two thugs tackled her and started groping her, all he could do was ogle her and pinch back his nose-bleed. During the fight, he was totally surprised to find out that she's his childhood friend Ana.
- Stripperiffic: Her clothes are already skimpy, and she likes not to wear them.
Kakei Juzo
Voiced by: Ryotaro Okiayu
- Biggus Dickus: According to Oukatsu.
- Bishōnen
- Cold Sniper: Not really cold but rather obsessed with etiquette and good manners.
- Cool Old Guy: In this series, they are quite common.
- Extra Ore Dinary: Is considered the Brave that uses "black iron".
- Good Old Ways
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a fashionable scar on his jaw.
- I Call It "Vera": His musket Saaya. He is downright depressed when it's broken by Seikai. He recovers from it when the gun is fixed.
- Never Gets Drunk: It comes in handy when dealing with Jinpachi.
- Would Hit a Girl: He would but only after she immobilized, cut, molested and eventually tried to strangle him to death.
Yuri Kamanosuke
Voiced by: Motoki Takagi
- Anti-Hero: He's the Token Evil Teammate among the Braves.
- Bare Your Midriff
- Bishōnen
- The Berserker: Saizo calls him on it when they're fightning Hanzo.
- Death Seeker: Begs Saizo to kill him when he was being held in a Sword over Head position by Saizo.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Saves Saizo from being killed by Hanzo, and then joins the Braves.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: And he's annoyed when people remind him of it.
- Easily Forgiven: Isanami stops Saizo from killing him, claiming that she was fine and had forgiven him for beating the crap out of her,and that if he killed him, he would be just like him.
- Major Injury Underreaction: Only gets annoyed by being slashed multiple times by Hanzo.
- Meaningful Name: The "kama " in [b]Kama[b]nosuke means "sickle". Guess what's this guy weapon?
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: His excuse for saving Saizo and joining the Braves.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Tries to give one to Saizo, claiming that Saizo was being held back because of Isanami. Saizo's answer?Saizo: "Shut up." (Cue Curb-Stomp Battle)
- Worthy Opponent: Sees Saizo as this. Not really reciprocated.
Miyoshi Seikai Nyudo
Voiced by: Kazunari Tanaka
- Badass and Child Duo: He and Benmaru are seen often together, with the latter usually riding in the former's shoulder, and while Benmaru is a capable fighter, Seikai is usually the one that does most of the damage.
- Before And After: He was just another bishonen before getting his Charles Atlas Superpower.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Can cause small earthquakes. Is also considered the Brave that controls Earth.
- Rated M for Manly: Sasuke tries to cut him with one of his kunais. He blocks with it PURE MUSCLE.
- Super Strength: The aftershock of one of his techniques is enough to carve holes in a wall. A wall that was really far away from him. He is also capable of creating earthquakes.
- Warrior Monk
- Wham Line: He's Isanami's elder brother. Not the biological one, but still, it's pretty shocking.
- The Worf Effect: Was knocked out effortlessly by Jinpachi to set Jinpachi's power level. Also, he could barely harm Byakugun for most of their fight.
Benmaru/Mochizuki Rokuro
Voiced by: Izumi Kitta
- Badass and Child Duo: See Seikai's entry above.
- Creepy Child
- Kid Samurai
- Mad Bomber
- Playing with Fire: He's considered the Brave that controls fire because of his bombs.
- Trap Master
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Setting traps and bombing are not the healthiest hobbies that children should have.
Nezu Jinpachi
Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai
- Ambiguously Brown
- Badass: Beating Seikai without breaking a sweat surely qualifies him as one.
- Badass Baritone : Zoro's voice,no less.
- Blade on a Stick: His Weapon of Choice.
- Buxom Is Better: His mindset. He thought Isanami is a boy due to her flat chest, and his reason to join the Braves was because there's this busty blonde...
- Only In It For The Hottie: Agreed to help Juuzou and eventually join Yukimura so that he could meet a certain big-busted blonde. And it's true. Once he's gets to know and is done redeeming Anastasia, he just stops sticking with the Braves.
- Super Toughness: Blocked Seikai's strike with one hand.
Date Masamune
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu
Hattori Hanzo
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai
- Badass: Curbstomping Saizo THREE times is enough to qualify you as one.
- Badass Boast: Loves to boast about how he's more powerful than Saizo. Loves even more to prove it by crippling the guy.
- Braids of Action
- Curtains Match the Window
- Curb-Stomp Battle: He gives THREE to Saizo, and another one to Kamanosuke.
- Death of a Thousand Cuts: His special technique.
- The Dragon: For Ieyasu, but he's the Big Bad and The Leader for the Five Iga ninjas, and if his 'loyalty' is to be questioned, could be the overall Big Bad.
- Dual Wielding: Wields two wakizashi.
- Evil Redhead
- Flash Step: Uses it in a master level.
- Flat Character: For a Big Bad he has quite stereotypical motivations and very little personality.
- Genre Blind: Thought he could control Kushimitama's power after releasing it. Oh boy, was he wrong.
- Hero Killer: He nearly kills Saizo the three times they fought. However,he was always stopped by another person before he could do it.
- Hoist by His Own Petard / Evil Is Not a Toy: Killed by the monster he himself released.
- Lightning Bruiser: Hits really hard. Takes a point-blank Shunko and survives. Is so fast that Saizo and Kamanosuke had trouble keeping up with him. Basically,the only reason he's not a God-Mode Sue / Villain Sue is that he was beaten one time, and because he died because of his own dumbness.
- Manipulative Bastard
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He loves to give these to Saizo, but Isanami is not safe from it either.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning
- Super Speed: It's his selling point, after all. He's even nicknamed "The Speed" in Iga's League of 5.
- Villainous Breakdown: When Saizo hits him in their second fight, Hanzo completely loses his shit.

"If you say flowers, you say Aalsmeer" Aalsmeer by Pavlik_NL
Aalsmeer Travel Guide: 41 reviews and 87 photos
Aalsmeer has the world's largest flower auction in the world. A vast percentage of all the flowers in the world are changing owner here fluctuating between 50 and 70%. And then there is the huge flower parade in spring (end of April) that attracts thousands an thousands of visitors every year. So Aalsmeer is flowers!
Furthermore Aalsmeer is the base in The Netherlands of commercial television. Here are the studios of Ende-Mol, that create programms for more then a handfull of TV-channels. Aalsmeer is as well a synonym for TV or studios.
And then Aalsmeer has always been a centre of agriculture. Especially gardening (trees, flowers, bushes etc.) and greenhouse-crops have been the speciality of this region and still is. It's not for nothing that the flowerauction is here. Aalsmeer also means agriculture.
Now-a-days commerce and agriculture are in constant conflict in and around Aalsmeer. The historic items in the town have many times disappeared or are standing side by side with awful new buildings. Aalsmeer sure can look better then it does now, but it's the question whether this ever will happen. Still Aalsmeer holds many great surprises and if not only for a visit to the huge flower auction, then in and around the town there is plenty to see.
Aalsmeer is also a wonderful example of the enduring conflict within the Netherlands of water and land. Canals are running throughout the whole of the town and Aalsmeer is bordering the large "Westeinder Plassen" (Lakes). When standing on the dike between town and lake, you can see very clearly that the water is standing somewhat higher then the surface of the ground on the dry side. This area is well under sea level and the many canals are there to continuously transport the water out of the "polder land".

Hi, just been having an interesting read of your Aalsmeer page, nice pics etc. The flower parades sound like something to put in my diary! All the best!
Hello Pavlik, The statue of some Greek God in Aalsmeer is a statue of the Goddess Flora, goddess of spring and flowers. See: Aalsmeer being the Flowercity. The statue dates back to 1962 - when it caused protest, because Flora was 'too nude'.
Hi Paul yes I been a stranger I am sorry for that this is a delightful page with valuable info for folks who like to visit this area I visited Kudelstaart in 2001 ,a friend lives there I better start bringing flowers home I don't want to be divorced hehe.

Obama Opposition (Mostly) Not About Race
There a pretty simple reason it's so hard to extricate the issue of Obama's race from general opposition to Obama's policies: A very large chunk of the people predisposed to oppose Obama's policies are also racists.
Not a nice thing to say? I'm being unfair? I'm part of the liberal media conspiracy?
Believe what you want. But pay attention to the numbers. And see at the end how this basic demographic fact can be flipped on its head to create a statement Obama's opponents would probably agree with. To the science…
(the political science, anyway)
You may have seen this research, showing that racial resentment is strongly correlated with opposition to health-care reform. Basically, if you're white and you don't much like black people, you are more likely to oppose health-care reform; if you're white and you don't have a problem with black people, you're much more likely to support health-care reform. What's more, this racial correlation exists today, in the 2009 health-care debate; it didn't exist when a white Democrat, Bill Clinton, tried to pass health-care reform back in 1994.
End of story? Not really.
While this correlation — and the fact that it exists for Obama and didn't for Clinton — might seem conclusive, it actually paints a very incomplete picture. What's changed between 1994 and today is not just the color of the president's skin. It's that the nation's two major political parties are polarized along racial lines as never before. And this trend didn't start with Obama's run in 2008, it started in the 1990s.
Take a look at these two graphs, from Enik Rising:
Agree or disagree: "Generations of slavery and discrimination have created conditions that make it difficult for blacks to work their way out of the lower class."
Agree or disagree: "Irish, Italians, Jewish and many other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Blacks should to the same without any special favors."
In both graphs, you can see the parties splitting, starting in around 1990, with the widest gap in 2004. Whatever you think of the answers to these questions, the point is that the parties polarized regarding race, roughly coinciding with the rise of the GOP majority on the twin issues of welfare reform and crime. And that polarization hasn't reversed.
Put another way: Whites in the South are the most anti-black group in America; a lot more whites in the South are now Republicans than were at the beginning of the 1990s.
What this all adds up to is that both of these statements can be true at the same time:
1) Many of Obama's opponents harbor a significant amount of racial resentment against black people.
2) To quote Bill Clinton: "100% of those who are opposing him now would be against him if he were a white Democrat."
Opposition to Obama is tied up with race because party identification in America is tied up with race. Are there some racist idiots at many of the GOP rallies? Yes. Would there be sexist idiots if Hillary Clinton were president? Also yes. Would any Democratic president be able to reform the entire health-care system — or undertake any major government-growing reform — without significant opposition from roughly the same group of people who are out protesting today? Absolutely not.

Duke's Assistant
Guest Star
Yugi's Grandpa refers to his being trapped in an ancient pyramid from his flashback in "The Wrath of Rebecca" in this episode.
Joey: (talking about Duke) I have more talent in my little pinky than he'll ever have.
Tristan: If you count talking with food in your mouth as talent.
Joey: Didn't you catch any of my moves in Duelist Kingdom you numb-skull?!
Tristan: Now you're adding "lucky" to your list of talents?
Joey: You're lucky I don't rearrange your face wise-guy!
Grandpa: I've endured many thing sin my life. I've been trapped in an ancient pyramid, stung by scorpions, attacked by Tibetan wolves, but nothing compares to this: A new game shop!
Yugi: (thinking) How can Duke be so calm? Either he has ice in his blood or he has one last trick up his sleeve.
Tea: He's toast.
Tristan: Burnt to a crisp.
Duke: I really hope you are second best not just second rate.
Joey: Second rate? Second rate! Your going to need a second life because when I get through with you Dukey there won't be any thing left.
Cheerleaders: Watch him bark! See that fool! Dog-boy Joey's not so cool!
Joey: C'mon, Yugi. You don't honestly think I'm going to loose to some guy with a dice stuck in his ear!
Cheerleaders: Duke! Duke! He's our man! If he can't do it, no one can!
Joey: I'm bad, you know it. I'm bad, I'll show it.
In the original version Joey tells Duke that when he beats him all the girl will be cheering for him, In the dub he also adds that Duke would have to close down his shop.
In the original version after Joey loses to Duke he thinks to himself that back in Duelist Kingdom he played beyond himself, but now if he was too proud. In the dub he just says that back at Duelist Kingdom he was dueling for his sister.
In the original version Duke says that he rented a dueling arena similar to Kaiba's, in the dub he said that it was his smallest one and he never mentions that he rented it.
In the manga, it was Duke's father who had a grudge against Yugi's grandfather because he lost a game to him for the Millennium Puzzle, and Duke also believes the Millennium Puzzle should have been his.
First appearance of Duke Devlin.
The Joey-Duke duel does not occur in the manga, they play a game with regular cards.

As most of you know I had a bodybuilding competition this past weekend and had been dieting and training for the past 14 weeks. I just wanted to shed some light on an issue that plaques the industry, especially in bodybuilding and events having to do with cosmetics. Most believe that you have to and should go to extremes to prepare for a competition or just to get pretty lean and this is not the case.
Yes it is a challenging endeavor and it takes discipline and hard work vut the extremes I am seeing in the industry is frustrating and causing more damage to a persons metabolism and overall physiology, not to mention the mental and emotional issues that come with it.
There are better and more effiecient ways to obtain results that don't require hours upon hours of steady state cardio and low to zero carb diets or being in an absolute calorie deficit as opposed to a relative deficit. I get many clients, not just competitors, that have done some extreme things to try and achieve certain goals nad sometime the damage is easily fixed and alot of times it is a work in progress to get their body just to get back to a normal state.
When going to extremes you actually make your body a fat storing machine and not a fat burning machine and when this happens even when people reach their bodyfat goals and resturn to maintainance diets they gain fat and then they try to diet again only to see it becoming harder and harder to loose the fat and alot of the times they still gain because of the damage they have done.
I want everyone just to take a step back and open their eyes and really look if what they are doing is helping or hurting them in the long run. You always need to look at the bigger picture and not just 12 weeks from now. A diet needs to be sustainable and serve the body and a Training protocol needs to enhavce metabolic rate .
I have been off diet and training for 7 days eating pretty freely, not junk, but if I want something i'll have it, and I have only put on 4 lbs from my contest weight. I am not rebounding and just eating junk as most tend to do after a long period of dieting because I didn't go to extermes and I trained the fat off and didn't starve it off.
I hope people will start opening their eyes to what is going on in thie industry and soo called experts having clinets go to extremes just to win a contest and not looking out for their best interests.

In a way this was true. Part of him was focused on Alzarius, on Keara, on Varsh, on things hed scarcely thought about since leaving E-space (home seems so distant in the TARDIS. Hes realised that a few hours ago: he thought of his wasted effort, plotting a course that would never be used)...

A federal judge is refusing to throw out the bank fraud convictions of Terry Dubose, Frank Baker, and Woody West.
District Judge Richard Smoak is also saying "no" to new trials for the men who headed up the failed Coastal Community Bank. They face sentencing August 21 for defrauding the FDIC out of more than $3 million in a failed scheme to save the bank.
Their attorneys had asked Smoak to throw out their convictions because the evidence was insufficent. Smoak found federal prosecutors had offered more than sufficent evidence to gain convictions.

Ocean Racing Color Block Jammer
I wear this suit several times a week for lap swimming. So far, it's holding up well to the chlorine ... maintaining it's shape and color. I've even worn it several occasions for a quick 3 to 4 mile run before hitting the pool and it proved to be comfortable for that venue as well. I wouldn't do it regularly though. I am satisfied with this suit and would buy another.

Fit: Feels too small
It's small. Real small.
Luckily, my 10 year old has a 23" waist, because the 24" jammers are still tight. He likes them, so we're keeping them, but make no mistake: buy these a full size up. With a 23" waist I would have bought the size 26". Additionally, the material seems a little thinner than other brands we have purchased, so I am not too confident that these will last long.

Swin suit sizing
The suit runs at least a size small. Waiting for out of stock size to see if even one size larger will fit.

Long Lasting & Comfortable
I'm on my third pair of these Dolfin Jammers. They are very comfortable and resist fading much better than my old Speedos. These Dolfin's are cheaper and last about 2 - 3 times longer. I'm in the pool 4 - 5 days a week and my Speedos used to fade, get saggy and wear out in the butt in about 3 - 4 months. I easily get around 9 - 10 months from these. Many reviews say they run small which is true. I'm a 32 waist and buy the Dolfin's in 34 which fit perfectly. Buy one size up and you'll be fine. Great suit for the price.

A poorly constructed article. I would not buy it again.

Good appearance.
Conservative for wearing in public. Simple color scheme but trendy. Identical to earlier purchase a year previous at a sporting goods store under the Dolfin label. I intend to purchase another in a different color. Great fit.
