The very latest line of Principe's sliced meats comes in an eye-catching, practical packaging: the Principe Ovals. The structure of the container – featuring a distinctive oval shape – consists of an extractable tray (patented design) that eliminates the need to transfer the slices to a serving tray so it can be taken straight to the table. The slices are laid out as you would expect from the delicatessen, coming apart effortlessly at the moment of consumption.
To safeguard the quality of the product, Principe's ready-sliced products are rigorously packaged in a protective atmosphere. Sealed trays undergo a total removal of oxygen, which is replaced with a mixture of inert gases allowing the product to maintain its freshness and smell naturally for a longer time.

A proposal by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to shrink the Army National Guard by 20,000 soldiers and the Army reserve by 10,000 over the next few years has Iowa soldiers worried for their jobs.
The Iowa Army National Guard has 7,200 soldiers statewide.
The Des Moines Register reports spokesman Col. Gregory Hapgood Jr. says the worst-case scenario would mean a loss of 500 to 600 soldiers. Or there could be no cuts. He says the state's commanders are preparing for possible scenarios.
Gov. Terry Branstad, who commands the soldiers in peacetime, says Democratic and Republican governors are telling federal government not to cut the National Guard.
When not fighting war guard troops respond to natural disasters, such as floods and tornadoes.

Sitcoms have always been zeitgeists of the era in which they were created, clumsily tackling important issues with jokes while simultaneously upholding the values of the time. The Mary Tyler Moore Show offered audiences an independent woman in the workplace after the rise of feminism in the late '60s, The Jeffersons presented an African-American family finally "getting a piece of the pie" by moving into a luxury apartment in Manhattan from a blue-collar neighborhood in Queens and Bewitched confirmed what a dangerous decision it was for us to stop burning witches.
But when sitcoms so accurately reflect the collective climate of the time period in which they are created, you have to wonder why, then, networks decided the 1980s were a good time to start killing off moms.
"... then her heart stopped and I closed her eyes with my fingers."
That's not to say that every show in the 1980s was motherless. There were plenty of popular, family-centric sitcoms with moms during the decade, but it's also a little startling how many shows there were where the mother was either dead or willing to abandon her child in the pilot episode. Even more bizarre was how many of those shows became runaway successes. It suggests that sitcom creators weren't just firing in the dark, but rather responding to a theme that resonated with audiences way too often for it to be a coincidence. I have a theory why all those sitcoms killed off the mothers specifically in the 1980s, and it revolves around this commercial:
But we'll get to that later, first the evidence:
Hey, Look at All these Dead or Missing Moms
Diff'rent Strokes
Arguably the first of this type of show, it started in 1978, but the majority of its run was in the '80s. It follows the life of two boys who are adopted by a wealthy businessman after their mother dies. The man, Philip Drummond, also has a biological daughter of his own, but her mother is completely absent, too.
Punky Brewster
After her mother abandons her in a shopping center, Punky Brewster squats for a few days in an abandoned apartment before the grouchy building manager finds her and subsequently adopts her, because those are the strict rules to which all landlords must adhere. Incidentally, he is also a widower.
My Two Dads
This hilarious sitcom starts with the mother of a teenage girl dying. Then, two men who were both sleeping with the mother simultaneously co-adopt the teenage girl because neither one is really sure if he's the father or not.
Gimme a Break
A police chief with three daughters loses his wife to cancer and hires a maid. That's it.
Silver Spoons
While technically the mother is present in some of the episodes of the show, she ships her son off to boarding school when she marries a new man because the boy is not conducive to her new lifestyle. The boy escapes from the school and goes to live with his biological father, who had no idea the kid ever existed.
Full House
A sportswriter with three daughters loses his wife in a car accident and moves into a house with his best friend and his wife's brother because he needs their help raising the kids.
Who's the Boss?
A former professional baseball player moves to Fairfield, Connecticut, after his wife dies to raise his daughter away from the city. He moves in with a wealthy family as their housekeeper.
Blossom and her two brothers live with their dad after their mother abandons the family and moves to Paris to start a new life. Even though this show didn't start until 1990, it's important to include, because Blossom and Diff'rent Strokes bookend the phenomenon.
Etc. Etc.
This list is not even close to complete, it just offers the best sample set from '80s sitcoms. It also doesn't account for any of the shows with missing fathers, both because there weren't nearly as many and because the dads were almost never dead or actively trying to abandon their family members in those situations.
So Why Did Studios Start Relying on Dead Moms?
Even with the pile of corpses these family-friendly shows collectively produced, it's important to remember that the trend had to start somewhere. There was a push in the early '80s to redefine the family sitcom by throwing in an additional element to disrupt the normal, nuclear family. Shows like ALF, Small Wonder and Charles in Charge desperately tried to distance themselves from the run-of-the-mill family sitcom by throwing in an alien, a robot, and a Scott Baio, respectively. It makes sense that some shows would try subtracting characters from the traditional family as well, and the mother was an obvious choice.
Good enough.
Moms traditionally acted as the glue to the family in sitcoms, present almost exclusively as confidants or for the calming nuturance they provided in tense situations.
The only thing between Archie Bunker and a KKK rally was Edith.
In their absence, fathers would be forced to awkwardly fill that role. Just one unpleasant death in the first episode could mean four or five seasons of bewildering sex talks between men and their daughters on the edge of a bed. Hilarious!
But that only explains half of the equation. Even if we know why networks started trying one or two shows with this formula, that still doesn't explain why audiences embraced them so readily, or the nine others, for that matter, that followed over the rest of the decade. To figure out why these shows about dead or neglectful mothers endured instead of sitcoms about robot daughters, we have to look at what was on the minds of Americans at the time. So the big question is ...

Labor DaySeptember 02,2013Today, as we observe Labor Day, consider this statistic: Last year, the chief executive officers at Standard & Poors 500 stock index companies were paid 354 times as much as the average worker. Back in 1980, they made only 42 times what the average worker was paid.
And its undoubtedly reasonable to believe that these bosses will take today off and participate in what has become the traditional way to observe the occasion: Playing golf, going to the beach, having a picnic or doing almost anything except salute the nations laborers.
Maybe Labor Day ought to be renamed, or simply put away for a while. After all, a great many of the people the holiday was intended to honor are required to work today and often longer hours than usual because to Americas retailers Labor Day is second only to the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) as a revenue-generator.
In fact, more Americans work in the retail industry than any other. Retail accounts for 24 percent of all the jobs in the United States, and while many of us are accustomed to associating Labor Day with labor unions, only 3 percent of retail employees are union members.
In this country, the percentage of workers belonging to a union in 2010 was 11.4 percent. That compares to 18.4 percent in Germany, 27.5 percent in Canada and a whopping 70 percent in Finland. In the private sector, union membership has fallen to a level (7 percent) not seen since 1932.
Union leaders blame employer-incited opposition for this decline in membership, but theres also strong political opposition to unions, particularly among Americas Republicans, who view them as impediments to profitability in the private sector and cost-containment in the public sector.
One of the bigger political stories in the United States last year was Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walkers well-financed and successful campaign to hobble his states unions, depriving them of the right to collective bargaining. Similar efforts have been mounted by conservatives in other states.
Strong unions have helped to reduce inequality, whereas weaker unions have made it easier for CEOs, sometimes working with market forces that they have helped shape, to increase it, the economist Joseph Stiglitz once declared. The decline in unionization since World War II in the United States has been associated with a pronounced rise in income and wealth inequality.
That managers usually prefer to work in a non-union environment is perfectly understandable, for negotiating with unions is a burdensome task. But that doesnt eliminate injustices in the workplace. Right now, for example, fast-food workers throughout the United States have taken to the streets to demand an increase in their pay from the present $9 an hour to $15 an hour. In 1963, their pay ($2 an hour) was $13.39 in todays currency.
Author Barbara Ehrenreich once wrote that societys real philanthropists are the working poor who neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high.
To them, Labor Day must seem a hollow holiday.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Climate Change: Realities, Surprises and Opportunities.
Sunday, 22 March. Time to be announced.
Paul Mayewski.
- Sea Level and Salt Marsh Ecogeomorphology.
Cosponsored by the Eastern Section SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).
Beverly Johnson, Bates College; Julia Daly, University of Maine at Farmington.
Salt marshes provide a host of important ecosystem services, such as organic matter production and nutrient cycling, coastline protection, and carbon sequestration. Yet, they are highly vulnerable to sea-level rise and climate change. This session seeks papers that use a variety of techniques to explore the interactions between sea-level rise and the physical, geological, and ecological processes within salt marshes on a variety of time scales.
- Orogenesis and Arc Collisions: From Models to Observations of Modern and Ancient Orogens.
Tim Byrne, University of Connecticut; Cees van Staal, Geological Survey of Canada; Peter Koons, University of Maine.
Arc collisions have contributed to orogenic processes since the early history of plate tectonics on Earth, and geologists have appreciated their importance in the construction of continental crust for several decades. The complexities associated with arc collisions, however, have only recently been recognized as numerical and analytical models have been integrated with detailed studies of the temporal and spatial evolution of specific orogens. For example, the feedback between erosion, exhumation, metamorphism, and atmospheric processes has only recently been recognized, and the links between preexisting crustal-scale heterogeneities and orogenic processes appear to be fundamental to the orogen kinematics and dynamics. Finally, the relation between surface-lithosphere dynamics in collisions is a developing field of research. To better understand the role of arc collisions in orogenesis, we invite papers from a range of disciplines and field areas. Oral and posters.
- Aspects of Transatlantic Research on Magma Systems.
David Gibson, University of Maine at Farmington; Dan Lux, University of Maine; Martin Feely, National University of Ireland.
This session aims to bring together geologists from both sides of the Atlantic to exchange current ideas on integrated research on magma systems. Aspects of research include, but are not limited to, timing of igneous activity, pluton emplacement and assembly, magma sources in differing tectonic settings, crystallization history in magma chambers, post-crystallization mineralization studies, and the role of magmatism in crustal growth. In addition, we hope to organize an accompanying poster session where students can present their research on these topics.
- Climatic Change: Perspectives and Insights from Hothouse and Icehouse Climates in Deep Time.
Cosponsored by the Paleontological Society.
David Sunderlin, Lafayette College; Kira Lawrence, Lafayette College.
Because the instrument-produced record of climatic variations is short relative to the time scales on which many climate system processes operate, understanding the dynamics and effects of recent and future climate change requires a deep time perspective. Paleobiological and biogeochemical information in the terrestrial and marine stratigraphic record provide data for examining pre-Quaternary climate conditions and their variability at both local and global scales. We seek to convene a diverse session broadly encompassing studies that explore climate signatures preserved in the ancient biosphere and geologic record as well as the context those signatures provide for recent climate change. We invite papers that explore case studies in paleoclimatic analysis as well as those that consider new methodological approaches to the study of deep time climates.
- Modern Glacial Processes and the Glacial Sedimentary Record: In Honor of Joe Hartshorn. Cosponsored by the Eastern Section SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).
Carl Koteff, U.S. Geological Survey; Tom Weddle, Maine Geological Survey; Michael J. Retelle, Bates College.
This symposium focuses on studies of modern glacial processes and implications for the glacial stratigraphic record. We are holding the session in honor of Joseph H. Hartshorn, friend, colleague, and mentor who passed away on 5 May 2008. After returning to the United States as a decorated Lancaster bomber pilot in World War II, Joe earned his Ph.D. in geology at Harvard, specializing in geomorphology. His keen perception of landscapes and landforms was put to use by the U.S. Geological Survey mapping glacial and Quaternary deposits in New England. Joe's experience in New England was greatly enriched by field work and excursions in modern glacial settings in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, and Ellesmere Island. When Joe changed careers and brought his deep experience of the modern environments, field mapping, and stratigraphy to the University of Massachusetts, his teaching reached many, from introductory students to those with doctorates. We rest assured that his students still ponder some of the questions on terraces, two tills, and Dirt Machines that Joe planted as seeds in his lectures and at the outcrop.
- Lakes and Environmental Change.
Brad Hubeny, Salem State College; Lisa Doner, Plymouth State University.
Lakes are sensitive to changing environmental conditions, and accumulated sediments can preserve high-resolution records of this variability. Such environmental change can result from a variety of forcings at a variety of timescales. This session welcomes all contributions associated with lake responses to and sedimentary records of environmental change at any time scale. Studies associated with developing or refining proxies are especially encouraged.
- Provenance and Orogenic History of Ganderia: Key Element in the Mid-Paleozoic Accretionary History of the Appalachian Orogen.
Sandra Barr, Acadia University; Cees van Staal, Geological Survey of Canada.
Provenance and orogenic history of Ganderia are key elements in the Mid Paleozoic accretionary history of the Appalachian orogen. Ganderia, a composite peri-Gondwanan domain, forms a large part of at the least the northern Appalachian orogen. This session will focus on where Ganderia came from, its defining characteristics, the nature of its basement, and how it interacted with other Appalachian elements during the construction of the orogen.
- The Boston Basin and Beyond: In Honor of Margaret D. Thompson.
Jean Crespi, University of Connecticut; Cathy Summa, Winona State University.
This session is in honor of Margaret D. Thompson's career as a mentor and scientist. We seek talks on (1) the Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic history of the Boston Basin and broadly related aspects of Appalachian paleogeography and Acadian/neo-Acadian orogenesis; (2) topics of general scientific interest by former students of Meg Thompson; and (3) the importance of undergraduate research and mentoring in motivating students to pursue careers in geoscience. Meg has advanced understanding of the tectonics of southeastern New England through careful combination of stratigraphic, paleomagnetic, and geochronologic analyses. Contributions that highlight multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches to scientific research are especially welcome.
- Maine Groundwater: Sustainable Aquifer Use through Monitoring and Regulation.
Robert Marvinney, Maine Geological Survey; Carol White, C.A. White & Associates.
This session will cover four topics: (1) the characteristics of Maine water resources; (2) site-specific examples of detailed hydrogeologic analyses used in permitting and monitoring; (3) an overview of Maine's regulations that protect groundwater and dependent resources while allowing sustainable withdrawals; and (4) the value of groundwater to Maine's economy.
- Natural Hazards: Supporting Mitigation to Avoid Future Costs.
Laurence Becker, Vermont Geological Survey.
Many natural hazards affecting northeastern North America have a foundation in geology: landslides, earthquakes, coastal erosion, fluvial erosion, and flooding. This session will cover a broad spectrum of hazards and will address the many contributions geologic mapping and research make to understanding and avoiding the impacts of these hazards.
- Mineral Resources of the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada.
William Kelly, New York State Museum-New York State Geological Survey; Marian Lupulescu, New York State Museum-New York State Geological Survey.
Theme Sessions
- Geologic Maps as Tools for Resource and Environmental Issues (Posters).
Robert G. Marvinney, Maine Geological Survey.
Geologic maps are essential tools for land use and management decisions of all kinds, from the analysis of water resources to mineral resources and geologic hazards. This poster session seeks contributions from all sectors that highlight the role of basic geologic maps, and specialized maps derived from them, toward addressing important societal issues.
- From Road Salt to Arsenic and Other Environmental Contaminants in Hydrologic Systems.
Rudi Hon, Boston College; Bill Brandon, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Joseph Ayotte, U.S. Geological Survey.
Environmental contaminants in both groundwaters and surface waters are a concern to researchers, regulatory agencies, health organizations, public policy groups, and to the general public as well. We seek a spectrum of presentations that focus either on a single aspect of environmental contamination or are cross-disciplinary, involving several subdisciplines of interest to a wider group of professions.
- GIS Applications in Geoscience Teaching, Research, and Map Production.
Dykstra Eusden, Bates College; Mark Swanson, University of Southern Maine.
The explosion of new GIS methods courses in the geoscience curriculum and the dramatic increase in the use of GIS by researchers in state, federal, private, and academic settings have led to a wealth of new geologic applications in digital technology. The purpose of this session is to showcase (1) the wide variety of digital GIS methods used in geoscience research; (2) new teaching pedagogies used in developing GIS-based courses; and (3) the wide range of digital GIS-based maps being produced by geologists. This session seeks contributions from geoscientists in academia, the private sector, and government agencies who use and/or teach about GIS. Undergraduate and graduate students doing research using GIS methods as a major focus of their study are also strongly encouraged to submit an abstract. Users of any type of GIS platform are encouraged to submit (i.e., not just ArcGIS but also Google Earth and others). Oral presentations will focus on teaching pedagogies used in GIS, new GIS methods in research, and strategies for the use and production of GIS-based maps. Poster presentations will focus on specific research projects that use GIS and that are amendable to that style of presentation.
- Remote Sensing Applications to Geomorphology.
Patrick A. Burkhart, Missing Affiliation; Jack Livingston, Slippery Rock State University.
LIDAR and other remote sensing technologies provide an unprecedented opportunity to investigate landforms and landscapes. Please submit recent discoveries that reveal the power of these developments for the study of geomorphic systems.
- Geoarchaeology: Sites, Substrate, Sources, and Context.
Cosponsored by the Eastern Section SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).
Alice R. Kelley, University of Maine; Allen Gontz, University of Massachusetts-Boston.
Geoarchaeology is a diverse field that combines techniques from geology and archaeology to better understand human societies, culture, and their environment. This session welcomes oral and poster presentations that address terrestrial and underwater geoarchaeological methods, sites, geological resources, or other uses of geology to address archaeological questions.
- Glacial and Paraglacial Coasts: Stratigraphy, Processes, and Geomorphology. Cosponsored by the Eastern Section SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).
Dan Belknap, University of Maine.
Glaciated coasts, past and present, comprise a diverse mix of processes and environments affected by glacial landforms, sediment sources, and isostatically influenced sea-level changes. Coastal landscapes of the northeastern U.S. and Canadian Maritimes are profoundly influenced by glacial history, as are many other populated regions around the world.
- Rheology, Kinematics, and Strain Localization in Faults and Shear Zones.
Scott Johnson, University of Maine; Michael Williams, University of Massachusetts-Amherst; Christopher Gerbi, University of Maine.
We are seeking presentations on the topics of strain localization, kinematic analysis, and rheological evolution in zones of high strain spanning the upper to lower continental crust. Papers from the northeastern Appalachians as well as those from other orogenic belts and plate boundaries are encouraged. If you or your collaborators or students have been evaluating rheological variation in space and time, the amounts and distributions of kinematic quantities like vorticity, and the distribution and magnitude of strain, we encourage you to submit an abstract. We are particularly interested in hearing from workers who have conducted multidisciplinary studies — for example, combining structural geology and petrology to better understand chemical-mechanical coupling leading to localization or-for another example — those who have combined natural observations with numerical or analog modeling experiments. Broadly structural-tectonic in context, this session encourages papers reflecting work at any scale of observation, as well as those that are part of the complex continuum of deformation, metamorphism, and magmatism during orogenesis.
- Advances in Stratigraphy and Paleontology of Paleozoic Dark Shales.
Cosponsored by the Paleontological Society.
Alex Bartholomew, SUNY-New Paltz; Diana Boyer, SUNY-Oswego.
Amongst the vast array of paleoenvironments preserved in the rock record, dysoxic to anoxic, shale-dominated facies remain some of the most poorly understood. At the same time, these rocks preserve many resources that have recently become economically attractive. Recent investigations into a broad spectrum of shallow- to deep-water, low oxygen paleoenvironments have brought about a much better understanding of processes that dominated ecology and deposition in this important suite of sedimentary facies.
- Bioevents, Tectonics, and Sea-Level Change in Marine to Non-Marine Strata of Northeastern North America.
Cosponsored by the Paleontological Society.
Sean Cornell, Shippensburg University; Patrick McLaughlin, Wisconsin Geological Survey.
In recent years, the Paleozoic marine to non-marine intervals of eastern North America are being reexamined from the perspective of paleontology, event stratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, etc. These analyses are shedding significant insight into multiple types of biotic events and a range of environmental disturbances, especially within the Ordovician through Devonian succession. These studies are also contributing to the understanding of tectonic events and the timing of tectonism within the Paleozoic of eastern Laurentia. An increasing number of studies show that the stratigraphic record is punctuated by environmental disturbances on multiple spatial and temporal scales. These disturbances evidently had significant yet differing degrees of impact on marine and non-marine organisms, and they have been attributed to fluctuations in sea level, climate, sea water chemistry, primary productivity, etc. Nonetheless, the linkages between each disturbance event and their specific effect on marine and non-marine floras and faunas are challenging to unravel. This session will focus on highlighting the range of approaches used to explore critical environmental, biotic, and tectonic changes during this time interval in order to demonstrate the major strides that have been made.
The following Theme Sessions will run jointly with the Maine Water Conference.
- Habitat Restoration in North Atlantic Watersheds.
Karen Wilson, Univ. of Southern Maine; Noah P. Snyder, Boston College ; Ellen Douglas, University of Massachusetts.
- Land Conservation and Management Strategies for Protecting Water Quality.
David Hart, Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Environmental & Watershed Research, University of Maine.
The first part of this session will examine watershed-level water quality protection strategies. In New England, water quality and point-source protection is generally pursued by three distinct constituencies: water district professionals, non-governmental organizations, and government. A proliferation of sometimes competing state mandates and an absence of uniform information and expectations has resulted in a patchwork of protection and management strategies that often lack watershed-wide cohesion. We will first explore best practices for supporting comprehensive watershed-level protection strategies and implementation. The second part of this session will examine community-based conservation models as management tools. Community-based research has become a continuum that ranges from a top-down citizen science–participant methodology to a bottom-up collaboration between community members and a variety of stakeholders. We will look at how these programs affect the environment, the stakeholders, the community, local governments, and future policy decisions. What makes a program successful; how is success defined; and how can it be replicated and/or sustained?
- Using Monitoring Data to Influence Management and Conservation of Aquatic Ecosystems.
Tom Danielson, Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection-Bureau of Land and Water Quality.
This session will focus on the importance of using monitoring data to inform and improve the management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems. This session will provide examples of well-designed integration of sound science into management decisions leading to tangible improvements in aquatic ecosystems. Large or long-term studies, in particular, can be difficult to sustain, but can provide invaluable information to base difficult management decisions. In other cases, discrete datasets can be the basis of good management decisions or can be used to determine if previous decisions led to desired environmental results.
- Competitive Demands for Groundwater Resources in the Northeast.
Martha Nielsen, USGS–Maine Water Science Center.
- State of Maine's Environment.
John Peckenham, Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Environmental & Watershed Research, University of Maine.
This session highlights ongoing water-related research in Maine, including presentations on the consequences of climate change on water resources, practices for restoring the quality of Maine's urban impaired streams, and a comparison of brook trout populations in Maine's lakes and streams from a regional perspective.

No training at all? Well then, we'll start with some simple questions.
What is water in the narutoverse?What is water's strengths and weaknesses?Who are three effective water users in the manga?What are three water jutsu in the manga?
-Looks up , and starts thinking-
•What is water in the narutoverse: Water is one of the basic 5 elements, mainly known by the shinobi in the Kirigakure. And is a very versitie element as it can be shaped into many different things such as dragons and things of that nature. It can also be used to make a think mist to hide the user. Water can so external damage to the opponet but mainly does internal damge with its concusve nature damage.Water is also a componet of Ice Style and Wood Style in the narutoverse
•What is water's strengths and weaknesses: Water has an advantage over fire, as it naturally puts it out. And also in can conjuction with Fuuton can be strengthen its concusive force and do more damage. However, Water is weak against Earth because of the structures made with the earth can drastically weaken the Suiton techinque's power.
•Who are three effective water users in the manga: Three prominant Sution users would include Kisame Hoshigaki, Tobirama Senju and Suigetsu Hozuki.
•What are three water jutsu in the manga:
Suiton: Water Dragon Missile
Suiton:Water Wall
Suiton:Giant Vortex Technique
Excellent. Now:
*Kicks you into the little river in the forest.*
"Tell me what you feel through the water. If water were an emotion, what would it be? Describe how it affects your five senses (what does it sound like, taste like, smell like, feel like, look like). Describe how it affects you and other objects, especially after prolonged exposure.
When you're done with the verbal excersizes, I want you to meditate in the water, feeling how energy moves in water, and what it's like. I'll pull you out when I feel you've been meditating long enough."
-Sits in the water-
"I feel.. the water's fluid motions, calm but easily tempted to become enraged with great power. Sounding like the "swishing" of the waves and ripples. Looks like a mirror reflecting everything exactly how it should be seen."
-Takes Sip of the water-
It tastes cool, as if it is not affected by the warm outside temperture..
-Smells like the animals that live within it. fishey
-i can see objects, clear as day through the water. except unlike a mirrior is not backwards..... Also i can feel my hands getting shrivled >.> <.<
-Starts Meditating and forms the Tori Handseal in meditation-
-I can feel my chakra, swaying and moving with the water. Moving as it moves. And stops as it stops. Sometimes just a gentle drop fluctuates the chakra flow.
Alrighty. Now, remain in the water as you practice this jutsu:
(Suiton No Jutsu) - Water technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary/Attack/Defence
Range: Short-Mid
Damage Points:20
Description: Creates small waves of water,small blasts, and small shields of water.
Focus your suiton chakra into the water around youBegin by making small waves bigger than the ripples naturaly in the waterFocus your chakra into one spot, and release upwards to create a small blastFocus on the shape of a shield, collect your chakra into that shape, and then focus on it to raise your chakra, and the water contained in your suiton chakra, into the air
I want you to put one pro (or a combo) and one con (or a counter) for each jutsu, alright?
One question since this is my first tranning session. Where do i put/save the techniques when i use them in RP?
__________________________________________________ _________________
-Nods Head-
I began to meditating again sycing the ways and fluctuations of my chakra to the water i am in. I then begin to shift my chakra back and forth moving the water more and more violetnly with each shift. Until the water is moving only at my will.
With the water still under my command i the make my chakra "jump" in a upward motion making the water "jump" also up into the air flowing into the sky.
While the water is descending back into the lake from which it came i then form the water into a sheild infront of me. And contiously put chakra into it making it grow larger. Until finally letting the water go back into the lake. This technique would be strong to defend against projectiles. Specifically low rank fire techniqes. But would have a disadvantage against earth techs, due to its weakness.
This thread has all of the ranks of Suiton jutsu, which I am teaching you. You go into this thread, select a jutsu you have been taught, and then just copy/paste the jutsu into your fight.
Good job, keep up the good work.
(Kirigakure No Jutsu) - Hidden Mist Jutsu
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user creates a thick, dense mist that covers the surrounding area.
Focus your suiton chakra around your bodyUse your chakra to densen the moisture in the airContinue focusing your chakra until the moiture in the air is a thick mist
Nods Head
I begin to focus my Suiton chakra around my body, and then expand it out to the surrounding area, i then focus even the more on the light air and moisten it so then the air takes on a humid temperture and then make the water condense into a thick mist that hides me in the process.
Oh dang sorry >_O !
-The pros of this jutsu is that it could effectily hide the user which gives the user a chance for a swift kill the cons are the mist only extends to a certain range so the oppont could jum out of the mist.
Alright, good.
(Suiton: Mizu Kuri No Yaiba) - Water Style: Sword of Draining
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: A technique that utilizes water to create a sword. The sword can be wielded in the normal fashion, allowing the ninja to cut and stab like with a normal blade.
Focus your chakra into the water nearby water sourceBring your chakra, and consequently the water, to your handUse shape manipulation to create a sharp sword with the waterFocus on the density so you can stab my clone effectivly. *Makes a clone*
-Nods Head
I make the Ram handseal, and then i begin to focus my chakra into the nearby water source. Keeping in mind the shape i want to create and also how hard and long i want it to be. I stick in my hand into the water and pull out the sword. And then i run towards the clone and stab your clone.
The cons of this jutsu is that is weak and can easily be blocked by a low level earth technique and has little range. But a pro is that the sword can be used when a weapon is not preasent and in emergency situations.
Good job.
(Suiton: Junsai no Jutsu ) - Water Release: Water Shield Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will manipulate their water chakra and releasing it from their arm which is held outwards infront of them and they then create a shield of water that can aide in defence against projectile weapons and close combat techniques.
Hold out your arm across your bodyFocus your suiton chakra into your armUse your chakra to condense moisture and sweat together into water on your armUse shape manipulation to turn the water into a shield
-Nods Head
I extend my arm arm in front of me. I then start to focus my Suiton chakra onto my arm and the from my arm in front of me. I then focus the chakra and condese it into water molcules bit by bit forming into a sheild keeping in mind the shape and size of the sheild. I continuie this process until there is a fully formed sheild of water that overs my facial area in front of my hand.
The pros of this move is that this sheild can protect the user from incoming ninja tools like Shuriken and Kunai. The Cons of this is that if a Higher rank Doton technique is launched in the form of a projectile this will burst through the sheild die to Doton being the weakness of of Suiton.
Alright, nice.
Now I want you to create a combo using at least one of the jutsu you just learned (you'll get a test like this at the end of every rank).
*Creates a clone mid-range from you.*
Okay Cool
I quickly concentrate my suiton chakra first making a the Ram hand seal.
"Suiton: Kirigakure No Jutsu.."
(Kirigakure No Jutsu) - Hidden Mist Jutsu
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 10

Making handseals while in the air forming a sword of water. As i land on the ground the sword is fully formed and i finish by stabbing himi in the back.

Sound Off for November 14th: What are your thoughts on the secession petitions?
From New Jersey to Oregon, people living in all 50 states have filed petitions to secede from the United States.
Tens of thousands of people, unhappy with the federal government, are logging on to the White House website to tell them they don't want to be a part of the Union any more.
The petitions, state the economy is suffering because of the Administration's neglect of domestic and foreign spending.
Observers say it's all because of the polarizing and relatively close election.
There's just one problem with asking for secession, it's not likely to happen.
Since South Carolina's bid at seceding from the Union in 1860, there's been a 100% failure rate.
The White House says it reviews all petitions on its website with more than 25-thousand signatures and responds to them, as well.
Do you feel this is just a case of sour grapes for those who didn't want Obama to win or do you feel there's something to this?

For former University of Hawaii basketball player Alika Smith, Rainbow Warriors is part of his DNA.
"I gave my blood, sweat and tears for four years as a Rainbow and I love the name Rainbow. I'll always be a Rainbow and I think it just fits for this community, the state of Hawaii," said Smith.
Members of the UH Manoa Letterwinners Club claim athletics director Ben Jay assured them at a January meeting that changing the men's basketball, baseball, swim and dive teams nickname to 'Warriors' would not be a hasty move.
However, the next thing they knew, it was a done deal with Jay announcing the name change a few weeks later.
After weeks of what they say was no response, the Letterwinners took action Wednesday in the form of a letter asking Jay not to close the door on the 'Rainbow' legacy.
"We're actually asking him to take a pause, keep everything the way it is and to work with the groups involved over time and maybe we'll come to some agreement," said Rep. Mark Takai.
Jay refused comment Thursday, but directed news media to a letter he wrote Wednesday to disgruntled 'Rainbow' fan Steve Chinen.
"In essence, we are not 'making' a decision to adopt the Warrior nickname for our men's sports," Jay wrote. "We are basically 'finishing' the decision made 13 years ago, so that our brand identity is clear and unified."
"The brand that we have for athletics, from my perspective, is the 'H' and the 'H' is a very strong brand under which the word 'Hawaii' is everything," said Takai.
"People may revolt and not go to a lot of games, and I think that'll be sad for the state and the kids," said Smith.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie noted Jay is doing a terrific job as AD, but like many UH fans, the gov is old school.
"For me it's 'Go Bows!'" said Abercrombie. "And Rainbow Warriors, that's fine with me," he added
Friday evening from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., a Rally for Rainbows event will be held at Bachman Hall on the Manoa campus. The goal is to urge UH officials not to go through with the name change.
"At the end of the day, I think he should reconsider and at least listen to others," said Smith.
The name change doesn't become official until July 1.
Jay has also said he wants uniformity in how UH teams look, noting that the school's colors are green and white.

Former police chief accused of stealing rifle
Embezzlement, obstruction of justice charges filed
AURORA - A grand jury indicted a former police chief on embezzlement and obstruction of justice charges, accusing the Beaufort County man of taking a high-power rifle during his tenure as chief.
Willis Cohoon Watts, Aurora police chief from April 2010 to August 2011, is accused of taking a Browning Rifle originally seized as evidence. Beaufort County prosecutors allege Watts lied to a judge about the weapon, using the firearm on his personal time for seven months.
"It's a misunderstanding," Willis said Monday at his home in Washington. "It most definitely is (a misunderstanding."
The indictment handed down by a grand jury states Watts "unlawfully, willfully and feloniously did embezzle" the rifle, fraudulently converting the weapon to his own use.
Watts was sworn in as Aurora's police chief April 27, 2010. The indictment asserts one month later, on May 28, 2010, Watts began using the Browning Rifle.
According to law enforcement sources, Watts attempted to trade another gun with the rifle. The use of the high-power weapon allegedly lasted until January 8, 2011, a time frame listed in the indictment.
Watts was dismissed from his position as chief on August 19, 2011. The reasons for his dismissal were never officially disclosed.
The former chief now faces one count of embezzlement, one count of embezzlement by local officer, and two counts of obstruction of justice.
The indictment states Watts made, "false and misleading statements... acted with deceit and intent to defraud the administration of justice."
The case was handled by both the Beaufort County District Attorney's Office and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

Police Chief Joe Treviño said his officers started investigating the occupants of the trailer when neighbors began complaining about increased traffic and visitors at the home.
The chief said that was followed by a tip called into the Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers hotline.
Officers spent a couple of weeks looking into the activity before obtaining a search warrant and organizing a raid on the residence. Treviño said members of the Beeville Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics Team joined narcotics investigators and they moved on the trailer at 1:23 a.m.
Inside the officers found less then two ounces of marijuana along with a large supply of paraphernalia.
Those arrested included 41-year-old Jewitt Ingram, 20-year-old Bryce Ingram and 25-year-old Rigel Vargas.
The three suspects were charged with possession of marijuana, less then two ounces, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
"Hopefully that'll send a message," the chief said.
"We don't care if you're dealing small time or big time. We're going to do something about it," one of the BPD's narcotics investigators commented. "All departments will come together to assist.
"If residents ask us for help, we're going to do something about it," Treviño added.
The possession charges are Class B misdemeanors and a conviction on them could result in $2,000 fines and six months in the county jail.
The paraphernalia charges are Class C misdemeanors. If convicted, each suspect could be fined $500.
Bonds were set at $200 on each of the suspects on the marijuana charges and at $500 on each on the possession of paraphernalia charges.

Evolution Hoax
Articles 2
Fourteen centuries ago, God sent down the Qur'an to mankind as a book of guidance. He called upon people to be guided to the truth by adhering to this book. God refers to the Qur'an in one of His verses in this way: "Mankind! Admonition has come to you from your Lord and also healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers." (Qur'an, 10: 57). From the day of its revelation to the day of judgement, this last divine book will remain the sole guide for humanity.
The Qur'an has a clear language easily understandable by people of all ages who lived from the day of its revelation. God refers to this attribute of the Qur'an in the verse, 'We have made the Qur'an easy to remember.' (Qur'an, 54: 52) The matchless style of the Qur'an and the superior wisdom in it are definite evidence that it is the word of God.
In addition, the Qur'an has many miraculous attributes proving that it is a revelation from God. One of these attributes is the fact that a number of scientific truths that we have only been able to uncover by the technology of the 20th century were stated in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.
Of course the Qur'an is not a book of science. However, many scientific facts that are expressed in an extremely concise and profound manner in its verses have only been discovered with the technology of the 20th century. These facts could not have been known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, and this is still more proof that the Qur'an is the word of God. One of the scientific miracles hinted at in the Qur'an is the special creation in the mother's milk.
Mother's milk is an incomparable mixture created by God, not only to meet all the baby's nutritional needs, but also to protect it from possible infection. The balance of food substances in mother's milk is at the ideal level and in the best possible form for the still-growing baby's physical systems. At the same time, mother's milk is very rich in nutrients that promote brain growth and nervous system development. Baby foods produced with today's technology simply cannot compete with this miraculous foodstuff.
Every day reveals a new benefit that mother's milk bestows on babies. Research has revealed that babies breastfed on mother's milk are better protected from respiratory and digestive infections. That is because the antibodies in mother's milk provide a direct defence against infection. Other anti-infective properties of mother's milk are that it constitutes an obstacle to bacteria, viruses and parasites, while establishing a friendly environment for 'good' bacteria, known as 'normal flora.' It has furthermore been established that elements of mother's milk regulate the immune system and allow it to work more effectively against contagious diseases.
Since mother's milk has been specially designed for babies, it is the most easily digestible food they can eat. As well as being rich in nutrients, it is easily digested by the baby's sensitive systems. Since the baby thus expends less energy on digestion, the energy saved can go to other bodily activities, growth and organ development.
There is more fat, protein, and the minerals sodium, chloride, and iron in the milk of mothers who have had premature babies. In fact, it has been established that premature babies fed on mother's milk score better in intelligence tests and that their visual functions develop better.
One of the facts that science has discovered about mother's milk is that suckling up to two years after birth is very beneficial. God gives us this important information, which was discovered by science only very recently, with the verse "… his weaning was in two years," 14 centuries ago.
And We have enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents: his mother bore him by bearing strain upon strain, and his weaning was in two years: (hence, O man,) be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the eventual coming. (Qur'an, 31:14)
All that we have seen so far shows us that this provides clear evidence that the Qur'an is the word of God, who is the Originator of everything and compasses all things in His knowledge.
In one verse, God says in the Qur'an "If it had been from other than God, they would have found many inconsistencies in it." (Qur'an, 4:82) Not only are there no inconsistencies in the Qur'an, but every piece of information it contains reveals the miracle of this divine book more and more each day.
What falls to man is to hold fast to this divine book revealed by God, and receive it as his one and only guide. In one of the verses, God calls out to us:
This Qur'an could never have been devised by any besides God. Rather it is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds. Do they say, "He has invented it'"? Say: "Then produce a chapter like it and call on anyone you can besides God if you are telling the truth." (Qur'an, 10:37-38)
God brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing at all, and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that perhaps you would give thanks. (Qur'an, 16:78)

Buffalo Wild Wings coming to Buckhannon
A Buffalo Wild Wings bar & grill is coming to Buckhannon, with the opening slated for late January 2014, officials announced Monday.
The eatery will be the anchor for the New Northridge Shopping Plaza located at 4 Northridge Drive, Buckhannon, in front of the recently built Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham, a press release from the Upshur County Development Authority. Northridge Development, LLC made the announcement, according to the release.
"We are thrilled to join the great community of Buckhannon and bring the fun and one-of-a-kind experience of BWW to families and sport's fans in the area," Taylor Bigley, marketing director for Buffalo Wild Wings, said in the release.
"Our goal is to be open for the 2014 Super Bowl," Bigley said. "Upon opening, we plan on employing 50+ jobs and partnering with local schools, sports teams and community partners to bring the BDubs spirit to Buckhannon."
Buffalo Wild Wings will occupy approximately 6,000 square feet of the 30,000 square foot plaza. Phase 1 is scheduled to be completed in January, with Phase 2 opening in the spring of 2014 with the addition of nine retail/business storefronts.
"Northridge will provide a unique shopping and dining experience, designed to be a convenient and inviting addition to our community," said Jennifer Fluke, co-owner and spokesperson for Northridge Development, LLC. "We are currently working with several other businesses and hope to make those announcements soon."

I know I will do what I want to do, I just want to make sure I am right and she's incorrect. When should you start it. I am planning on doing rice cereal and then purees, so when should I start them. I told her I was planning on 6 months. Thoughts? I don't see the point of introducing them too early, she's completely content and as long as she is still gaining. THoughts, links welcome?

Uncompromised Innovation
When we gave our engineers free rein to create the best speaker they could, they came up with the revolutionary Concept Blade prototype - the world's first single apparent source loudspeaker. Its sonic capabilities were so impressive that we created an edition that serious audiophiles could actually own.
Blade and Blade Two share a new architecture that achieves the ideal point source, with the four sophisticated bass drivers (225mm/9-in. for Blade, 165mm/6.5-in. for Blade Two) configured so that their combined acoustic centre occupies exactly the same point in space as that of the Uni-Q HF/MF array so the sound appears to emanate from a single, flawlessly coherent source.

Media tours new library
Posted on July 10, 2013
Journalists, photographers and videographers from area media were given a guided tour of the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons, Wednesday, June 10.
The tour was hosted by Lee Van Orsdel, dean of University Libraries and James Moyer, associate vice president for Facilities Planning. Representatives from SHW Group, architects, and Pioneer Construction were also available to answer questions.
Cameras clicked and video rolled as the tour group viewed the stunning rooftop garden, reading room fireplace and automatic storage retrieval system. Reporters learned not only about the many interesting construction and design features, but also how the library is a prototype for 21st century learning with many areas such as the Innovation Zone and Knowledge Marketplace.
A Community Open House is planned for September 7, from 1-5 p.m.

Nine Breakthroughs and a Breakdown
In his new book Breakthrough! How the 10 Greatest Discoveries in Medicine Saved Millions and Changed Our View of the World Jon Queijo describes what he believes are the 10 greatest discoveries. 9 of them are uncontroversial discoveries that have been on other top-10 lists, but his 10th choice is one that no other list of top discoveries has ever included. He realizes that, and even admits in his introduction that a former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine refused to review his book because there is no such thing as alternative medicine, only treatments that work and treatments that don't. But he "respectfully disagrees."
Hippocrates' discovery that disease had natural causes, sanitation, germ theory, anesthesia, X-rays, vaccines, antibiotics, genetics, and treatments for mental disorders are all worthy candidates for the list. But Queijo ludicrously lists the "rediscovery of alternative medicine" as the tenth "great discovery." He presents no evidence (because there is no evidence) that alternative medicine has "saved millions" or that it has saved anyone. He doesn't realize that alternative medicine represents a betrayal of exactly the kind of rigorous scientific thinking and testing that led to all the other discoveries. His list of ten breakthroughs is actually a list of 9 breakthroughs and one breakdown. (more…)


text: Hi girls, just a quick question...does anyone know how to increase milk supply when baby is a VERY busy 9.5 month old? My pedi and lactation consultant said baby should still be nursing 8-10 times per day and taking in at bare minumum 24 ounces of BM a day. I know for a fact that my baby does not get this much BM in a day. My supply at work has totally tanked and I am only pumping 2 ounces every 2 hours. This tells me that baby is only getting 24 ounces max from me if he is with me all day long. When he is at the sitters, he reverse cycles and only eats around 4 ounces in an 8 hour time period. He still nurses every 2-3 hours around the clock plus gets solids. He has only gained 1.5lbs since he was 6 months old and is not growing in length as he should. He weighs 19.5lbs and is on the skinny side, when he used to be a chunk....this is because he WILL not hardly nurse during the day either. He is soooo super busy and doesn't want to take time to nurse. I think this is why my supply has dropped as well. He will not drink well from a bottle or sippy either, so I am at a loss. Is there a way to increase my supply this late in the game? I've tried fenugreek, more milk plus, domperidone, etc. and NOTHING has worked? I am sooo sad right now, as I really wanted to make it to a year. What are your thoughts??? Thanks so much!!!
