Hi Ladies! I have been reading lots on these forums and I think I came to the right place. I need some information and encouragement.
My LO and I have had a difficult time BF from the beginning. LO had a tight suck which was relieved by CST at days 4 and 11, but not before my supply was severely affected. I have been nursing on demand with breast compression, pumping (Lactina), and power pumping once a day. I am supplementing at the breast with the SNS. I am taking More Milk Special Blend (herbal galactagogue). I had my thyroid tested and it was negative. I had my prolactin tested and it was high according to my midwife (182).
I thought that with all of the stimulation (demand) that my supply would have increased more. When I pump I am only able to get 1/2 oz. each time. Each time we try to wean off the supplement his weight stagnates or decreases. He is 10 weeks old now. He is taking 12-14 oz. of supplement daily, which is EBM and formula. He was at 10 oz. daily until last week.
I am in contact with local LLL and am working with an IBCLC. Is there something else I should be doing? I am heart-broken because I want to EBF my LO. I was able to EBF my 2 other children for 17 months and over 2 1/2 years respectively. This is going to be our last baby and the thing I was looking forward to the most was nursing.
Could something still be wrong with his latch? I do have some concerns about his jaw, tongue and palate but I will post in section for baby issues. The IBCLC said his latch looked OK and ped said his smaller lower jaw shouldn't interfere with feeding. What else could it be? Are there more tests I should have to try and solve this mystery?
Please help..........Thanks!!!

- Macroscopic local realism incompatible with quantum mechanics: failure of local realism where measurements give macroscopic uncertainties
- Author(s)
- Reid, M. D.
- Abstract
- The author defines the premise of 'macroscopic local realism' so that its failure is more surprising than failure of the local realism addressed previously. Macroscopic local realism is a premise stating the following: If one can predict the result of a measurement at A by performing a simultaneous measurement on a spatially separated system B, then the result of the measurement at A is predetermined but described by an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen 'element of reality,' which has an indeterminacy in each of its possible values, so that only values macroscopically different to those predicted are excluded.

This is an original -- spine-chilling and sexy -- a tale of a Mafia vampire and the detective who is determined to bring it to justice...Detective Victoria Tyler is investigating Collins Bay's new serial killer, one of the city's vampires. Since they have marked her as a human to be killed or conquered, Tori knows that Michael is her only hope for survival. But she hasn't spoken to him since the night she tried to kill him. As the enforcer for the Italian vampire cosca, Michael expects a certain amount of cooperation from his boss. That amount has been shrinking ever since their leader took a new sadist lover. So when the detective requests his help, it's just the excuse he needs to take control of the city -- and the delicious human.
Risking it all, Tori agrees to let Michael take her neck and lead her on a journey through a world of bondage, domination and blood to stop the killer. But can she resist the dark lusts he sparks? Or will her weakness get someone else killed?

Jonas, the strangely appealing owner of the new vampire themed bondage club, could be the perfect distraction from her otherwise workaholic life. But their worlds couldn't be farther apart.
Elena walks away, hoping that she can put Jonas's memory behind her and focus on her work, but he won't leave her alone. Even in her steamy dreams, Jonas is absolutely enthralling. The fact that he's starring each night as a powerful vampire lover makes him even more irresistible. At least until a werewolf attacks her, forcing Jonas to reveal his identity and the truth of her dreams. When she sees him again, can Elena keep dreams separate from reality? Or will her twisted fantasy get them both killed?

Part of me is very happy that he has reached this point on his own and that it was entirely his decision, but the other part of me is sad that he doesn't want to any more. I am, however, very proud that we made it this far...a little over two years! Anyways...I just wanted to share because you guys are the only people who know what it's like to be at this point.

The world's largest commercial aircraft touched down in Honolulu on Sunday. Hawaiian Airlines said Airbus, the jetliner manufacturer, is pitching them to buy the plane.
The A380, the first-ever double-decker aircraft made a stop in Honolulu on its way to Asia. Hawaiian Airlines is in plans of purchasing more planes from Airbus.
"Well Hawaiian Airlines and Airbus have partnered on the A30s which we've got 22 that will be in our fleet within the next two-and-a-half years. Clearly we look into the future," said Mark Dunkerley with Hawaiian Airlines.
The plane is fuel efficient, so it could help lower ticket prices, which could encourage more people to fly in and out of Hawaii.
"Very importantly for the state of Hawaii it has a very high passenger count to bring more visitors to the state," said Dunkerley.
The aircraft is capable of seating more than 850 passengers and has a wingspan of 252 feet. Airbus said as the largest civil aircraft to date it brings comfort.
"It's very, very quiet, it has larger seats in economy class, it's recognized as a lovely aircraft to fly on by more and more passengers," said Richard Carcaillet with Airbus.
As nice as the plane is Hawaiian airlines said it may be decades before it considers buying the plane.


text: The Jading Process 0x6a656666 posted:4/29/2008 5:00:27 PM One of the strangest features of aging is the dulling of everything. Nothing surprises or intrigues anymore--you age, and you just become more and more jaded, or you lose your mental faculties and don't care to think and feel. You are told by those who are more spiritually inclined that life has purpose for you, that you are here to learn something. But if this is the case, what's the point? You'd figure you would learn how to enhance the senses or something in this life, not lose the ability or desire to use them. Feeling things or wanting to feel things and experience new things just becomes too painful, perhaps. But if there was a point to that whole jading process, what could it be?luvdase posted:6/3/2008 6:22:03 PM The one thing that the aged have, is experience. Experience instructs fools.The wisdom of experience can not be totally genetically engineered, as long as free will exists.Halman posted:6/18/2008 1:34:41 PM I think much of what you call the "jading process" is due to simple loss of curiosity. Do your best to stay curious, and all your other mental faculties will rise to meet the challenge.Boonierat posted:10/23/2008 9:54:35 AM The one thing I have found frustrating about aging is that when you try to pass on the knowledge you have learned over your time to the younger generation they disregard what you have to say as if it meant nothing.I have traveled around the world a little in my younger years and I noticed that several countries respect the knowledge of their elders, here in the United States our younger generation tend to stick the elders in nursing homes and forget them, and that is really a sad statement on how we treat our elders.sparrowguy posted:11/15/2008 8:16:39 PM I have felt a little bitter about the aging process. I have observed many times, how the elders in our society are made fun of, disregarded, and disrespected. I also wonder what is supposed to be so fulfilling about watching my body slowly disintegrate, like a sinking Titanic? What, of value, is to be learned by becoming increasingly helpless and dependent upon others, who may or may not care?0x6a656666 posted:11/15/2008 11:40:09 PM I am trying to form a response to this...just keep writing about it here until I can figure out something worth contributing.harper posted:11/23/2008 9:15:15 AM why stop nature's path? aging is a part of life, you cannot live forvever, except the fact we will all die one day, whether old and wrinkled or young cancer and getting hit by a truck happens. I know everyone is afraid for their own mortality, if you fall, it is your time, come to peace with it, everything happens for a reason buddists will tell you this.

Be proud, America! Sure, other developed nations outgun us on every front from health care to sex robots (thanks, Japan), but when it comes to popular culture, other countries can't get enough of our shit. However, as they say: Give a man a fish, and he'll be fed for a day. Teach a man how to make local reproductions of a fish at a fraction of the cost of the American original, and you'll get, um, one hilarious-looking fish. Flailing metaphors aside, check out the 10 most ridiculous overseas "re-imaginings" of American classics.
"Thriller" (India)
Pros: The singer is clearly a sex symbol is his own land, and gives hope to paunchy, jheri-curled men everywhere. Also, the video's a harsh reminder of everything that was good and bad about LSD.
Cons: There is only one person in the world who can dance like Michael Jackson without looking like a seizure victim. We'll give you a hint: It's not this guy. Also, we're not afraid to say it: All the zombies from the third row on back are pretty much just phoning it in here.
Highlight: Around 2:47 he breaks into a horrific leg-locked dance-walk with a hideous twitch:
When he first twitches, you think something's gone horribly wrong with his nervous system, but then he does it a couple of more times and you realize he's doing it on purpose.
Conclusion: A pleasantly zaftig imitator makes up for his paunch by bringing the whole affair in at a svelte three and a half minutes.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (Japan)
Pros: In 1946, Japan authored a new constitution. One of its provisions was that all fictional characters must be able to turn into robots, which in turn can combine into a larger, more powerful super-robot. Of all the provisions of historic legal documents, this has been deemed the most awesome.
Cons: Land of the Rising Sun? More like "Land of the Rising Destroying My Precious Childhood Memories." Shredder doesn't cry, dammit!
Highlight: You think the song is going to mercifully end at the 3:07 mark, but showing an indulgence worthy of Use Your Illusion-era Axl Rose, the producers opt instead to launch into a second chorus that was very clearly improvised on the spot:
Go, go Turtles! / With an overwhelming, surprising transformation! / …Our hearts combine and the miracle fusion body is awakened!"
Conclusion: An utterly heartbreaking revision of our youth, yes, but it is still, like Domino's pizza to an anthropomorphized amphibian, strangely appealing.

It was a festive visit for a local organization helping people with disabilities.
The Oktoberfest royal family stopped at Riverfront Friday. They sang some songs and took time to chat with the participants.
All week the fest family has been touring local businesses and organizations spreading Oktoberfest cheer. "We like to spread what's called gemutlichkeit and that's spreading good cheer," said Grenadier General Robyn Johnson.
"Riverfront is a very special place to visit, it's special to the royal family. That they're treated just like other businesses and organizations in the community and it's important to them."
Even though Oktoberfest ends this weekend, the fest family has plans to visit area schools in the next few weeks.

Juventus coach Antonio Conte has refused to be drawn on speculation linking the Serie A champions with Manchester United's Nani.
The Portuguese only signed a new five-year contract with the Red Devils in September but speculation emerged at the weekend linking him with Juventus.
The 27-year-old winger has featured 15 times for the Premier League champions this term, with his last appearance coming in the 1-0 home loss to Newcastle on December 7.
But Conte refused to be drawn on the speculation, preferring to leave transfer dealings to the club's hierarchy.
"Nani? I'm the coach. For these things there are (director Beppe) Marotta and (sporting director Fabio) Paratici," he said.
He also refused to be drawn regarding the futures of current Juve players Paul Pogba and Andrea Pirlo, amid rumours they could be leaving next season.
In comments reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Conte is quoted as saying: "These questions must be put to Marotta. I only think of training."
Conte is seeking to guide his side to a third consecutive title but has also challenged his players to be successful in cup competitions as well.
He added: "I'm proud of this group. In two years we have made important steps, but I'm sure that Juve won't stop here. The aim is to win also on an international level.
"Now we have three aims for this season: scudetto, Coppa Italia and Europa League."

Raising the wrong profileJuly 20,2013In 2003, state Sen. Barack Obama spearheaded a bill through the Illinois legislature that sought to put the clamps on racial profiling. Obama called racial profiling morally objectionable, bad police practice and a method that mainly served to humiliate individuals and foster contempt in communities of color.
Obama was not simply speaking abstractly. In his 2006 book The Audacity of Hope, the future president wrote that he could recite the usual litany of petty slights directed at him because of his skin color, including being profiled by the police.
I know what its like to have people tell me I cant do something because of my color, he wrote. And I know the bitter swill of swallowed-back anger.
That same bitterness probably compelled Obama, as president, to speak out after professor Henry Louis Gates of Harvard was arrested and to famously note last year, If I had a son, hed look like Trayvon.
That is why it is hard to comprehend the thinking that compelled the president, in a week like this, to flirt with the possibility of inviting the New York City Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly, the proprietor of the largest local racial profiling operation in the country, into his Cabinet.
Kellys name has been floated by New York politicians of both parties as the ideal replacement for Janet Napolitano, who resigned last week. The president responded by calling Kelly well-qualified and an outstanding leader in New York. He sounded a pitch for bringing the commissioner into the White Houses fold.
Mr. Kelly might be very happy where he is, said the president. But if hes not, Id want to know about it.
There are some other things that the president should want to know about. Chief among them would be how his laudatory words for Kelly square with the commissioners practices and with the presidents deepest commitments.
The NYPDs stop-and-frisk program has been well-covered in The New York Times and elsewhere. It is now public knowledge that the police department, each year, stops hundreds of thousands of citizens, largely black and Latino men, for reasons as thin and subjective as furtive movements. Very few of those stops lead to actual charges, much less arrests, and according to the commissioner thats fine.
If you dont run the risk of being stopped, you start carrying your gun, and you do things that people do with guns, Kelly recently told The Wall Street Journal.
Its certainly true that some number of people who are looking to carry guns will be less likely to if they know they are going to be searched. But Kellys formulation leaves out the hundreds of thousands of people who have no such intent and are simply unlucky enough to be caught in the wrong skin. Those unfortunates must simply pay the tax of societal skepticism.
The dragnet tactics dont taper at the borders of black and brown communities. If anything, they expand. Last year, The Associated Press reported that the NYPD has organized a network of agents and informants strictly for the purpose of spying on Muslim communities. The appropriately dubbed Demographics Unit has extended its reach along the Northeastern seaboard, sending informants to spy on Muslim rafting trips, mosques in Newark and Muslim organizations at Yale and the University of Pennsylvania. The Demographics Unit did not discriminate, at least among Muslims: Second- and third-generation U.S. citizens were subject to profiling. Despite this sprawling fishing expedition extending up the Atlantic coast, NYPD officials admitted in a subsequent court case that the units work had not yielded a single lead, much less the opening of an actual case.
It is often said that Obamas left-wing critics fail to judge him by his actual words from his candidacy. But, in this case, the challenge before Obama is not in adhering to the principles of a radical left but of adhering to his own. It is Obamas attorney general who just this week painfully described the stain of being profiled. It was Obama who so poignantly drew the direct line between himself and Trayvon Martin.
It was candidate Obama who in 2008 pledged to ban racial profiling on a federal level and work to have it prohibited on the state level. It was candidate Obama who told black people that if they voted they would get a new kind of politics. And it was state Sen. Obama who understood that profiling was the antithesis of such politics. Those of us raising our boys in the wake of Trayvon, or beneath the eye of the Demographics Unit, cannot fathom how the president could forget this.

July 2, 2012 —
On Wednesday June, 27, 2012, John Armbruster, 52, of Monticello plead guilty in Sullivan County Court to the February 17, 2012 robbery of the Eldred Branch of the First National Bank of Jeffersonville.
On the date of the robbery, Armbruster walked into the bank on State Route 55 at around 9:50 AM and passed a note to the teller that stated he had a gun and demanded cash. Although a gun was never displayed, Armbruster fled with $2,000 dollars.
Sheriff's detectives spent a week running down leads and eventually developed Armbruster as a person of interest. On Friday February 24, 2012 at about 8:15 AM John Armbruster was detained for questioning when he was spotted at the Stewart Shop on High street in Monticello. He was charged that afternoon with third degree robbery and fourth degree grand larceny. He has been sitting in the Sullivan County jail since then on $80,000 bail.
"There was not a lot to go on in the initial stages of this investigation", said Sheriff Mike Schiff. "Good old fashion police work is what solved this case". The Sheriff thanked District Attorney Jim Farrell and his office for aggressively pursuing this case.

This song has been in my head recently. So many perfect lines: Time for you to go out into the world. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here. It seems somehow all too fitting for the end of college. (I won't even get into "It's the End of the World As We Know It", which is also true).
So it's been quite the few weeks since I last wrote. I'm sorry for my absence, but maybe after reading, you'll choose to forgive me. Here are some of the highlights that I can remember right now:
- -The Librarian of the College cleaned my clock in our all-school skeeball tournament. (Well, she scored a 300 and I got a 250).
- I turned in my thesis on April 20. It finished at 33,000 words and 114 pages.
This was the largest reason that I wasn't capable of doing anything else. It was a huge project and I'm very proud of how it turned out, but sometimes it felt as physically exhausting as the runs I did to take a break from writing!
- During one of those frantic I-need-a-break-from-writing runs, I completed my fastest loop of campus (1.7 miles in 13:50 for a sub-8:00 mile pace).
- I attended my last college class (math, fittingly enough) and handed in my last college assignment (a political science paper, of course).
- My friends and I rang Founders' Bell, a senior tradition.
- And yesterday, I competed in a four-hour Philadelphia scavenger hunt, coming in third!
Somehow I managed to continue with everyday life (job applications and interviews, tours and other work in admission, homework besides thesis, making it to the gym every day…) but as I look back I'm not 100% sure where the time went.
Actually, take that sentence, and multiply it by four, and that's how I feel about my college career. This is one of my last days at school, and I'm trying to think back on four years, and it's very hard. The best analogy I've got is this: If you've ever embarked on a weight lifting program, you'll know that you have to start small. Maybe you're only benching 30 pounds when you start. But sure enough, you can move to 40, then 50, then 60. But each time you bump up, you know it because you're using larger weights and you're sore the next day!
Somehow, through college, I've become someone capable of benching a lot, but it sort of snuck up on me! Each paper you write, each guest speaker you hear, each article you dissect, you become a better student, better thinker, better scholar…but you don't notice until you step back and look at the whole picture. In more ways than I can count, I've gained SO much from these four years. It's not just about academics, though that was undeniably the center of my experience. It's about all those corny things too: self-understanding and self-awareness and personal growth and transformation and blah blah blah. (I'm not usually good at the sentimental, so this was actually a pretty good paragraph for me).
There are so many posts I wanted to write and never did. There will be so much I'll want to say that I can't. There was much I wanted to do but couldn't. But, in the end, I can't, rationally, have any regrets: I got so much out of my Haverford years and I'll always be grateful for my time here. I don't know how I'll cope with leaving, but everyone seems to manage, so I'm sure I'll figure it out.
My friends and I were talking recently about what we might like to say, given the chance, to sum up our Haverford experience. I've attached my thoughts at the end of this post because I feel strongly about what I said there.
I did want to close by saying that one way in which I'd like to stay connected to the Haverford community is by always being a resource for anyone considering the college. Please feel free to reach out anytime that you discover this blog (hi future readers!). You can reach me at h.solomonstrauss (at) gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you, no matter the content of your email! (I really truly mean that, more seriously than I'll be able to convince you, so just shoot me a note and see for yourself!)
Thanks for reading this year! And thanks, Haverford, for everything.
My final thoughts:
When we graduated high school, we probably all heard the same advice. 'College will be the most important years of your life. You're not a kid anymore. It's time to get serious, because this time, it's the real world.' Clearly, those speakers didn't know we were headed to Haverford. So before we take the next step, maybe we should think for a moment about the world we're leaving, the world of Haverford College.
The "real world" works very differently here. Driving on to campus, you pass a sign at the entrance that reads, "Private Property." But then, beneath that, and in larger letters, it says, "Visitors Welcome." When we pulled up outside the dorms on move-in day, our cars were swarmed by Customs People in brightly colored shirts, telling us how excited they were that we'd arrived, and carrying our things to our rooms. Rule Number One: no one moves themselves into Haverford. Right away, you have a family, one that never really goes away as long as you're here.
We all have stories about unlocked bikes or laptops left unattended for hours, or the simple kindness of classmates who seek us out to return lost belongings. When people ask, "How are you?", they care about the answer. The arboretum uses the all-campus email list to tell us how the trees are doing. Sometimes we're late for class after an unexpectedly long lunch where we debated the DC workers about the prowess of our respective intramural basketball teams. Have you ever turned a corner, spotted a tree in full bloom, and found yourself stopping to stare? What about that first nice day in the spring, when the pinwheels appear on Founders Green, glinting in the sunlight?
Think about the time since move-in day: all those experiments you ran, all those hours in SuperLab. Think of your thesis, and of all the research you put into it. But our time here isn't just measured by specific milestones, it's everything put together. We juggled school, sports, committees, friends, fun, even sleep–sometimes, it wasn't clear how everything was going to get done. But it always did, and that feeling of accomplishment was the surest sign we were growing into Haverford.
Our education here was not meant to be comfortable; it was meant to provoke, to stretch, to enrich. In class, we heard points of view we had never before considered, and so the conversation continued at the gym, on the green, and late into the night in common rooms. We owe more than we can say to the incredible professors who have challenged and inspired us. If you finish at Haverford after four years with the same ideas, same opinions, and same skills that you had during your first week, then it didn't work, did it? But whether measured by academic enrichment, athletic achievement, or any other standard, Haverford has 'worked' for all of us.
And so we spent four years in not-quite-the-real-world, and it's time for us to give the real, real world a try. But for the rest of our lives, "Haverford Class of 2012" is going to be one of the most accurate descriptors of our approaches to problems and solutions, to challenges and understanding, to learning, to community, to the world, to life. We will be taking a lot with us from this place– and, frankly, the real world out there could use a little more 'trust, concern, respect.' They say that "home is not where you live, but where they understand you," and I can't think of any group for whom that is more accurate. You get a family on day one, and no matter where you go from here, Haverford will always be home.
But because this is Haverford, I can't end on a sentiment like that. Yes, hard work got us here, and that deserves to be recognized, but we had a lot of fun along the way. Haverford has always been about knowing how to not take ourselves too seriously. So I'd like finish by dedicating a poem to the class of 2012. It's a poem of hope and uncertainty, of the future and the past, of confidence and self-questioning. It was written by someone whose great literary works, which reflect a keen understanding of the real world, are taught a little earlier than the freshman writing seminar. I mean Dr. Seuss, of course.
"You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang, and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don't.
Because sometimes you won't.
I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that bang-ups and hang-ups will happen to you.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! 98 and three-quarters percent guaranteed."
As we take our next step into the world, remember how real this world has been, and remember that here at Haverford, you'll always have a home.

State Street Slam canceled
MONTPELIER The 2013 State Street Slam has been canceled, say its organizers, the Montpelier Recreation Department and Montpelier Alive. The event was scheduled for Aug. 4 but was pulled because of lower-than-expected registration numbers and a lack of confirmed sponsors.
We are very sorry that we have had to make this decision, said Jenny Bartlett, program coordinator for the Recreation Department. I still believe this event is possible for future summers, but we want to be sure any event with our name on it is done to its fullest potential.
Montpelier Alive echoed that sentiment.
Its unfortunate that we have to cancel this program, because we all love it, said Phayvanh Luekhamhan, executive director of Montpelier Alive.
Both organizations have set up a planning committee that will look for ways to improve the event for future years. Anyone interested in joining the committee should call Montpelier Alive at 223-9604. People looking for refunds from preregistration should call the Montpelier Recreation Department at 225-8699.

What are the Buddha Ratings?
The Buddha Ratings are a system that we have created to reflect the price and quality of your yoga retreat experience. The Buddha ratings are Gold, Silver or Bronze and this price varies according to whether you are staying in a 5 star luxurious stately home, in a cosy cottage, to an eco pod or your own tent. We have designed this rating system to cater for your needs whether you are on a budget and need a break or if you are feeling flush. there is something for everyone. The quality of the yoga teaching, the food and overall AY experience is the same throughout.
What is the difference between a Retreat and a Holiday?
The yoga holidays came first, due to our personal love of yoga and adventure. They are fun, high energy, healthy and leave you feeling invigorated in body and spirit. They are in beautiful places and the atmosphere on them is very friendly, laid back and you can get as involved in as much activity as you want, as it is your holiday!
Our yoga retreats & wellbeing weekends are designed to be more relaxing and less adrenaline fueled. We started these as a way of offering our AdventureYogi guests something to come on closer to home. They are a perfect quick fix and escape from your busy life. Although we do have SurfYogi and ActiveYogi that are action packed like the holidays.
- Our retreats are shorter and in the UK and the holidays are longer and abroad (except Cornwall where we also run weeks)
- We start the day with a silent walk on retreats but not holidays
- Retreats tend to be slower in pace and more relaxing
- Holidays always include adventure and optional action sports
- No alcohol is served on a retreat whereas it is on a holiday if desired
- Guests are encouraged not to drink coffee over the weekend but you can on a holiday
- The food tends to be lighter and more detoxing over a retreat as you are doing less but it is still healthy vegetarian on all
Whether you decide to come on a shorter retreat or a longer adventure, we will always leave feeling invigorated, relaxed and well looked after.
I haven't done much yoga before, can I come?
We have designed our weekends and weeks for people who love yoga, whether they are beginners or have been practicing for years. All our teachers are very experienced and are more than capable of adapting the classes to all levels. Our ethos & approach is open & friendly and we set up our business to spread the incredible word of yoga to people who perhaps wouldn't have gone on a yoga retreat before. So don't be shy, there is no time like the present to start your journey with yoga.
I am quite an experienced yogi, would I enjoy your retreats?
In a word yes! All our retreats and holidays are suitable for those who have done little or lots of yoga. The teachers are very experienced and ensure that every single person in the group has their needs and expectations met over the time they are with us.

Judge Sargus
BELMONT COUNTY'S judicial system is losing one of its fixtures.
That is because Common Pleas Court Judge Jennifer L. Sargus has announced her plans to step down at month's end.
Her mid-week announcement surprised many and disappointed almost all. She served on the bench for 24 years, and she did it exceedingly well. Sargus was what all judges need to be: tough but fair. She was that and more, always exhibiting class while dispensing compassion when need be.
Sargus owns the distinction of being Belmont County's first woman judge. We can't think of a better choice.
She came well groomed for the challenge. Both of her parents were attorneys, and her mother also became a judge. Sargus followed in those footsteps with unbridled conviction.
Sargus has prided herself on fairness and upholding the high standards of our legal system. For that, she was held in high regard by her peers.
Her departure creates a void that will be tough to fill. Her replacement will be appointed by Gov. John Kasich to serve on an interim basis. Those interested in the position must declare candidacy for the upcoming election.
Sargus is retiring for all the right reasons. She wants to spend more time with her family, including her 92-year-old mom who has experienced health issues. When not spending time with the family, Sargus will teach a class at The Ohio State University's law school this fall.
Jennifer has not ruled out a return to the bench somewhere down the road. We hope that is a scenario that plays out.
We thank Judge Jennifer Sargus for her 24 years of superlative service as Belmont County Common Pleas Court judge. She has made Belmont County a safer and nicer place to reside.

Description of business, organization, invention
Originally, Dandylion Records was a retail store in Seattle in the 80's co-owned by myself (Geff Ratcheson) & my father. ( I also used the name for a single I released in the late 70's). At the beginning of 1998 (finally accepting that the income from playing top 40 is really dreadful!), I went back to school for a second degree as a computer network tech. Needing some kind of an income & observing e-commerce on the usenet, I tried selling a few items from my collection, & it took off from there! The response to Dandylion throughout the course of 1998 exceeded all of my expectations. I finally dropped out of School in November of 1998 to devote all my time to the business. Through 2000, we expanded to a level way beyond our expectations (& sanity!). Unfortunately since spring of 2001 the economy has brought a significant downturn in our business, but with your support we plan to stick around for awhile & keep providing you great music at affordable prices!
Our focus has always been a combination of affordably priced cd's along with some collectible's. In the last couple years we've also added a selection of European cd's that are hard to find here in the US. While these are bit more expensive then the music we've traditionally carried, they're still quite a bit cheaper then what most "brick & mortar" stores charge for the same cd's! As a music lover & collector, I've spent many hours hunting down non-US cd's that I really wanted, but I normally had to pay $22-$30 for them! We're able to keep most of our UK cd's well below $20, even after importing them into the US; so we're still able to offer you an exceptional value! And when I mention in the introduction to a newsletter that I'm excited about that week's collection - I really mean it! As a collector myself, I really enjoy "the thrill of the chase" (As Deep Purple would say!!).
What our subscribers receive each week in the newsletter is a list of everything new we've gotten in since the last issue. if you notice some of the same titles frequently, it's because we sold out of that title & got it back in. We've also got around 3,000 titles available on our website & ebay! We're hoping to be able to add a full checkout for instant purchase & full descriptions to the website before the year is out.

For psychiatrist Deborah Peel, maybe patient privacy and patient consent aren't identical twins, but they're sure close relatives.
Not surprisingly, a recent Zogby International poll commissioned by Peel's not-for-profit Patient Privacy Rights Foundation, Austin, Texas, focuses on patient consent and its relationship to privacy—a unity the federal government has chosen to either ignore or deny.
The 2,000 adult poll respondents reached by Zogby via the Internet put great store in their right to privacy. They cling to the quaint notion that they should be asked before their electronic health records are sent skittering off to unknown users for unknown purposes. See full poll results here.
Silly them.
HHS rulemakers wrote away a key right to privacy eight years ago.
An HHS revision to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act privacy rule in 2002 stripped away one of the broader authorities giving patients the right to control the flow of their medical information. HHS rulemakers did it by eliminating the right of consent. They took a stringent privacy protection rule and transformed it into a disclosure rule.
There are a lot of bright folks who have warned HHS that this privacy issue broadly—and this HIPAA privacy rule revision, specifically—are going to explode on the healthcare industry. One of the more insistent voices has been Peel's, but she by no means alone.

Milk truck overturns on Route 2November 18,2012Milk truck overturns on Route 2
MARSHFIELD No one was injured when the driver of a tractor trailer swerved to avoid hitting two cars stopped on Route 2, and tipped over near the Bickford farm on Route 2 on Saturday.
Shortly after the accident occurred around 1:30 p.m., both lanes of two-lane highway were closed. One lane was reopened shortly after 2 p.m.
The truck, driven by Bruce Martin of Williamstown, was carrying milk.
According to a news release, Martin was traveling east on Route 2 headed to Cabot when he swerved to avoid the vehicles stopped in the eastbound lane.
Martin went off the roadway causing the truck and trailer to roll over.
Damage was limited to the passenger side and roof of the trucks cab. The trailer sustained damage to both sides.
Plainfield and Marshfield fire departments, Vermont State Police, the Vermont State Haz-mat Team and the state Department of Motor Vehicles all were dispatched to the scene.
Police say the roads were clear and dry at the time of the accident.
Shortly after 5 p.m., most of the rescue personnel had left the scene; however the truck, which was righted, was still visible from the roadway.
Police could not confirm whether any fluids, including milk, had spilled; however, a second truck was brought to the scene into which milk was being be pumped.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

AmQuel+ is harmless to plants, fishes, invertebrates, and other aquatic life forms. This product is safe for use in aquariums and ponds and will not interfere with biological filtration or its bacteria. When AmQuel+ detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and other organic compounds, it breaks the links of molecules apart. The bacteria do not know the difference and eat the parts, just as they would the whole original compounds. AmQuel+ may affect the dyes in certain types of cotton fabrics. This happens for the same reason that Ammonia test kits using the Nessler reagents do not work with AmQuel or AmQuel+. These products reduce the coloring agents used in the Nessler reaction test kits, and apparently in a very small selection of cotton based fabrics.
AmQuel+ should not be added to water containing active, therapeutic dosages of chemical dyes such as methylene blue, acriflavine, malachite green, and potassium permanganate, since AmQuel+ will interfere with their proper performance. Combining Amquel+ with these dyes will not result in toxic chemical by-products. AmQuel+ can be useful in those instances when it is desirable to terminate a treatment with a chemical dye. This is particularly useful with potassium permanganate because Amquel+ (and AmQuel) removes the coloring in the water instantly.
AmQuel+ is compatible to use with all water quality test kits except for the ammonia test kit that uses Nessler reagents that read in shades of amber or yellow, and the oxygen test kit that uses Winkler reagents. Residual AmQuel+ and its reaction products are incompatible with the Nessler-and Winkler type reagents, resulting in false, high ammonia and low oxygen concentration readings. Ammonia test kits using salicylate-type reagents are appropriate for accurate test results. Any oxygen test kit other than those using Winkler`s method is compatible with AmQuel+.
Amquel+ is non-toxic when used as directed. Many hundreds of kinds of freshwater and marine fishes, aquatic invertebrates and plants have been exposed to multiple full doses of Amquel during extended test periods and general use with no toxic effects. Amquel+ does not reach toxic levels even in cases of accidental or purposeful overdosing. AmQuel+ is non-toxic to humans and no special precautions are necessary in handling this product.
As a general rule, when using tap water in which chlorine and chloramines are present, but not nitrites, nitrates or other organics -- then it is safe to use the less expensive AmQuel. If there is the possibility of nitrites, nitrates and other organics being involved, then Amquel+ is recommended.
Add AmQuel+ to the water at the recommended dosages as described above. Since AmQuel+ rapidly spreads through the water, no special agitation is needed. When new water is added, usually Amquel+ should be used with Kordon`s NovAqua. It is recommended that both be used to fully condition new water, such as out of the tap from public water suppliers.
AmQuel or AmQuel+ and NovAqua should be added to tap water used for short-term shipping fish and invertebrates. For long-term shipping of more than one day AmQuel+ should be used with NovAqua, because of the build up of toxic organics from excretion. If the fish are crowded or prone to bump into or abrade each other, PolyAqua should be added as well to both the shipping water and the aquarium or holding tank after shipments are received. NovAqua and AmQuel, when used together, will reduce stress, osmotic and pH shock, probability of infection, and neutralize ammonia, chloramines, chlorine and heavy metals. When Amquel+ is used with NovAqua it increases the protection by neutralizing nitrites, nitrates, and other organics. PolyAqua should be used to handle abrasions, bruises, and frayed fins of fishes.
When using water from natural conditions for field collecting, the use of AmQuel or Amquel+ in holding and shipping water will reduce stress in fishes and invertebrates due to ammonia intoxication. If fish will be held for days in containers, AmQuel+ should be used, because it will remove (detoxify) nitrites and nitrates as well. In addition, PolyAqua should be used in holding and shipping water for optimum protection against abrasions, bruises, and frayed fins in fishes.

The Inevitable Truth
Police announced this morning that Josh Hancock was legally drunk with a 0.157 blood alcohol level, nearly twice the legal limit. He was also talking on his cell phone at the time of the accident. Disappointing news, but nobody is going to be surprised by it. This doesn't diminish the tragedy to me, but I do hope that his example will remain in the heads of sports fans as they contemplate whether to drive home after several frosty Buschs at the ballpark. Perhaps additional tragedies can be averted.
Post-Dispatch story
3 Comments
Imagine how much bigger the tragedy would have been if innocent people would have been killed or seriously injured too? This news changes my feelings a little on the whiole situatuon. Not that I don't think it is terrible, but I unfortunately feel less sympathetic than I did before. I have a hard time feeling bad for him… I do still feel terrible for the friends, teammates, and family that have to deal with their loss and now the reason behind it. On top of that, reports say you can toss in a marijuana pipe and marijuana (although toxicology reports have not been completed, but it was there) and talking on a cell phone. I feel really bad for the young lady he was talking to that will now have to deal with that moment for the rest of her life.
Steve, I agree it taints things. This will be different than recovering from DK's death, since that was natural causes. Hancock won't be the same hero DK was held up to be.
But I still feel bad for Josh. It's very much a "there but for the grace of god" thing for me and a lot of people. I know I have driven at times when I shouldnt, and thankfully I made it home safely. I can't say I'll never try that again but I know I won't for a while with the pictures of Josh's wrecked car in my head.
With this news coming out, one thing remains the same; Josh is dead. Nothing can change that; no hand-wringing, no revamped clubhouse rules, no changes in the law or "I told you sos". Does it diminish the tragedy? Not in my mind. In fact, it makes it more of one, because it could've been avoided in so many ways.

Validation Studies
In spite of intensive effort over the last twenty years, only a few in vitro assays for acute endpoints are internationally accepted as validated. However, many industrial organizations use multiple in vitro assays on a daily basis to make safety and efficacy decisions. Industry has confidence in this approach because they have assessed the performance of in vitro assays on a small, well-defined range of products of similar chemistry. We encourage this strategy and help many companies implement their own highly beneficial in vitro testing programs.
Due to the increasing pressures compelling industry towards the use of non-animal methods, a larger number of assays for a broad range of toxicity endpoints will be required. To insure that these methods are predictive and reliable they must undergo validation. IIVS has been chosen to participate in dozens of national and international validation studies often as the lead laboratory. Through this experience we understand the key factors influencing the speed of validation and regulatory acceptance of in vitro assays such as:
- Availability of human correlation data
- Reliable and relevant animal data correlated to the human response
- Strict laboratory compliance with protocols
- Significant expense and time required to complete multi-phase validation studies
Our extensive experience and knowledge of the validation process is available to you. We can help your company or consortium by organizing a specific validation program that meets your needs.

Friday, October 12th, 2012
When I first moved back to the UK in 2009, back to Leeds, I was meeting with some cool creative types up there. We would exchange ideas and put the world to rights. One of the people in that group was Shang Ting Peng. Quiet and unassuming, she had moved to Leeds a few months before me from Taiwan, via Barcelona. When I got talking to her, I found she's super into fashion and works on all sorts of cool projects. She told me she had a Facebook page called UK Observing Diary, where she documents Leeds street style and culture. Pretty cool, I thought. Then she said it had over 120,000 likes and gets millions of hits a month. WHOA! I thought. Shang Ting may just be the most popular blogger we've never heard of! UK Observing Diary has such a cult following back in Taiwan that Shang Ting got a book deal. She just recently got back from a month long book tour in Taiwan. I caught up with her to get the skinny.

Happy St Patrick's Day to All!…
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all MLB.com Bloggers and Readers!
Simply reading The New York Post can assist any Yankees blogger with the hot topics of the day. A scan of today's paper yields the following observations:
· A-Rod is truly in love with himself
· Robinson Cano knows he was an idiot for hiding his injury
· Joba Chamberlain is struggling to get his fastball back to its normal speed
· Hideki Matsui would be a very expensive bench ornament
Yikes! It was more fun researching Boston Red Sox players! Not really, but the drama never ends in the Yankees Universe…
This is just an assumption on my part, but after seeing some of the seductive, brooding photos on Details.com, the She-Fan is probably making a mad dash for Barnes & Noble as we speak!
Photo by Steven Klein
The She-Fan may have had greater influence on A-Rod than meets the eye, given that the name of the Details article is 'Confessions of a Damned Yankee'.
I don't know for sure, but I'm just saying… 😉
During yesterday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies, Joba Chamberlain's fastball was clocked about 5 mph slower than his normal speeds of 97-98 mph.
The article in the New York Post was quick to note that it's still early in spring training and that Joba's fastball was "flat" yesterday. My only concern is the shoulder tendonitis that benched Joba toward the end of last season. He did not have surgery, but instead opted to go the rehab route.
Getty Images
My belief is that the 'early in spring training' is the most likely cause, but this does bear watching in the coming months.
I know that I am probably the only one who is interested in Jay Cutler as the next QB of the Minnesota Vikings. Erin of Plunking Gomez has already said that she wouldn't get excited about it until they actually called the press conference to announce the acquisition. Still, I can't help but notice that the Twin Cities' Pioneer Press is referring to the Denver quarterback as 'Potential Vikings QB' Jay Cutler. So, at least I am not alone in my thinking as a Vikings fan. Of course, Trent Dilfer later burst my bubble on ESPN by saying that while Cutler would be a great PR move, he wasn't so sure it would help football-wise.
I am sure this topic's getting much airplay on the Minneapolis-St. Paul sports radio stations.

Have a safe and enjoyable St. Patrick's Night! J

Scott – first – Happy St. Paddy's day! I was wearing my green Red Sox hat all day! Did you wear a green Yankees hat? And sorry – but that photo of A-Rod? It is wrong on a lot of levels and is just a bit creepy! I was reading about the Vikings possibly looking at Cutler. I guess you'll have to settle for "second best" with Cassel out of the mix! lol! I suspect that where ever Cutler ends up he will having something to prove to the new coaching staff back in Denver – so it could be a bonus to whomever signs him. I hope if it is the Vikings that it will work out. Have a great evening and watch out for the "celebrating" Irish lads & lassies!
A-Rod is a self absorbed a**hole. I'll leave it at that (I'm sorry). Well, Joba did better than his last start eh? Do you think he'll ever get surgery, and if so when should he get it?
Creepy is not the word to describe that picture of A-Rod. Actually, I don't think there is a word to describe it. Scott, you may be on to something with the "Confessions" thing. Maybe Jane could use her "influence" and get him to become normal? Unless this is normal…and that would be jusy CREEPY.
Ugh, I have seen all kinds of things that I can't unsee on the internet, but that A-Rod picture has to be about the worst. Thanks for that! And as much as I would love to get excited about the prospect of the Vikes having a decent QB for once, I'm not going to do so until a deal is done. I've been through this too many times with the Vikings: they announce a high-profile player who will be a perfect fit for one of their many holes is thisclose to joining the team, only to discover that said player has been traded to/signed with someone else. Like the Houz (I'm not learning how to spell that) thing just a few weeks ago. -Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
Now you see why I didn't post the Details magazine photos of A-Rod on my blog, Scott. I knew they would gross people out. I'm trying so hard to stop him from making these silly mistakes but he's not listening to me! It's very frustrating! He stole the title of my book (partially) and then deliberately went against my advice. I told him to have his photos taken with little kids as he advises them on the dangers of steroids, and what does he do? Kiss himself in the mirror. Sigh.
I have to say, I grabbed the "Details" magazine because I wanted to make fun of the pictures, but I was disappointed. Disappointed because I thought that it was a really nice photo shoot and a very well-written article. He had the interview either the day or the day after Serena Roberts confronted him at the gym in Miami, but he never let on a bit. I highly recommend checking it out.

Fanfare for the common goodAugust 29,2013The English writer Christopher Isherwood wrote The Berlin Stories about the late-20s and the early-30s, recounting his time in that city as the brown shirt bullies roamed the streets beating up Jews, labor unionists and anyone they considered to be enemies of the emerging Nazi Party. Isherwoods stories became the basis of the play I Am A Camera and subsequently the musical Cabaret.
Berlin, during the time of the Weimar Republic, was a swirling cultural scene of the arts and alternative lifestyles. The great painters of the time, Max Beckmann, George Groz, Christian Schad, Ludwig Meisner, Otto Dix and others, chronicled the political and economic turmoil and the freewheeling social scene of sexual freedom, sticking a thumb in the eye of the militaristic Junker class. These great painters paid for their insolence by being declared degenerates when the Nazis came to rule the roost. The Nazi ascent to power was fueled by the draconian reparations imposed on Germany by the Versailles Treaty after WWI, resulting in mega-inflation and widespread unemployment grist for the National Socialist mill. In a few years, in 1933, Hitler would come to power, and the rest is well-known history.
Todays Berlin, 68 years after the end of WWII, under a democratic parliamentary system, is once again a ho-bed of artistic freedom and anarchistic experimentation. Artists squat in abandoned buildings and throughout the city, public art, murals and graffiti are inescapable some outstanding, some merely at the level of inept scrawlings.
The underpinnings of this social democracy provide a quality of life that should be envied by most Americans. The German social contract is deeply steeped in the philosophy of the Common Good which is given more than the lip service it gets in the United States. In Germany, family values are more than the blah, blah, blah of American political opportunists who, once elected, propose cutting food stamps, temporary aid to needy families and, in the case of Vermonts governor, earned income tax credits which help the poor. The idea of the Common Good is woven into the German social safety net which features universal, affordable health care, subsidized child care, strong unemployment and retraining benefits, and substantial paid maternity leave for both parents. The Common Good is also expressed in very affordable tuition fees at German universities, about $800 per semester.
Unlike the U.S., where organized labor is in serious decline and only 7 percent of the private sector is unionized, German organized labor still constitutes a vital countervailing force to unbridled corporate rapaciousness. The idea of the Common Good is expressed in the legal concept of co-determination in the workplace. By law, every corporate board must have members from labor and the government to monitor what might be arbitrary downsizing for short term profits. Unlike the U.S., corporations in Germany are restrained from outsourcing or simply fleeing the coop for some Third World country where labor rights are nil and salaries one step away from slave labor.
The most tangible evidence of the Common Good for the visitor to Germany, is the excellence of its mass transportation system. The subways, the light-rail trolley lines and buses all run on a tight and prompt schedule so that waiting for more than 15 minutes is rare. As a tourist, you can actually plan your day down to the minute for getting transportation to any destination.
And then there are the bike paths. Here in the U.S.A., were lucky to have a line signifying a bike lane sharing the roadway with 3,000-pound automobiles. In Berlin, the bike paths are on the sidewalk designated with a red brick surface which pedestrians ignore at their peril as cyclists come barreling along. Even in downtown Berlin on the automobile clogged Potsdamer Platz, the bicycle has the right-of-way thousands of bicycles.
The powerful idea of the Common Good permeates the social democracies of Europe, whether Denmark, France, Sweden, Germany and others. It is the bond which infuses the citizenry with a sense of cohesiveness, a sense that abandonment is not an option, that regardless of your walk in life, you are valued as a human being. In the midst of the economic turmoil of the last half decade, both here in the U.S. and abroad, the degree to which the Common Good is nurtured is the degree to which each individuals humanity is affirmed.

Out of stock items are built on demand. You buy it, we build it. Ships within 5 days.
In stock orders ship same day if received by 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time!
Design input from world-class climber Dr. Jean Ellis combined with our parachute-rigging bag-building techniques helped to create for you an expedition bag to take climbing or outfitting gear anywhere. Proven on all seven continents, you'll thank us a thousand times over for the heavy-duty grab loops on both ends and the tough 1050 weight Ballistic Nylon skid plate on the bottom, plus Neoprene Rubber padding for that extra bit of protection.
Storm flap across the main compartment keeps out whatever Mother Nature sends your way, while two full-length side flat pockets keep your flat necessities like maps, light jackets, etc., accessible. The Sherpa is popular with the sheep hunting crowd as you can cram it full of camp equipment and bulky clothing, yet still easily carry the bag backpack style over treacherous terrain.
One of the hurdles with an outfitter's expedition duffel bag this big is carrying it once you've filled it up. The answer? Retractable padded backpack straps hidden inside a false bottom "smuggler's pocket". Stitched into the top of the bag via webbing, each strap hooks to the bottom using our famous nickle plated claw hook and reinforced steel D-rings. This allows you six different and convenient methods to carry the Sherpa Jr.
1. Carry it by the top handle.
2. Carry it by both end handles.
3. Carry it with one end handle.
4. Carry it on your back with the retractable backpack straps.
5. Carry it with The Claw Nonslip Shoulder Strap.
6. Hire a real sherpa carry it for you.
Heavy-duty features abound: Dual full wraparound 2" wide nylon webbing compression straps are stitched onto the bag; your bottom will never tear out. The carry handles also fully wrap around the bag, effectively doubling up the no rip carry strength. Overbuilt 360 degree swivel "claws" will never rust or rip free. Nickel plated hardware more suited to a tank than an outfitter's bag!
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around expedition bags that weigh 100 tons and have six inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For an outfitters bag, they are built tough. Starting with one of the most durable textile materials available, 1000 weight Cordura nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that is double stitched into every seam.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors expedition bags that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the Sherpa, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double xx" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our time as parachute riggers. The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport, the bush, on the trail, or some other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your bag break down?
Rectangular shape means you can really stuff this bag to the hilt. The Sherpa Jr. Outfitters Expedition Duffel Bag is sized to fit into the luggage hatch of a puddle jumper, such as a Cessna 182, the most common remote wilderness access aircraft. Now you know why Red Oxx calls it a Sherpa!

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
What u all thought when Kurama droped Kakashi into Obito and Obito absorbed him in dimencion.
My reaction was like Naruto(Pokerface).
I thought - Kurama... your such a baws.
I thought 9 tail betrayed kakkashi and naruto
I though he was going to use kakashi's body to hit Obito xD xD
I figured he had a plan. I immediately noticed the xfer of chakra.
At first i was like "well Kuramas a **** his just hit obito with kakashi" Because all my life a popular thing to say when fooling with two people is that you'll beat one of them with the other. I knew kurama was about to give chakra i just didnt think he would try to ***** slap obito with kakashis body.
I figured he had plan, so I wasn't worried.
They had a common enemy, so It was a logical move on the Fox's behalf.
that was all for a punch
I mean...!!! hellooooo, kakashi, you could stabbed obito with a kunai or something
Originally Posted by phantomlord22

Youp and Obito culd stabbe Kakashi when he was throwed by kurama that was risky.
I initially though that he was going to give chakra although i wasn't 100% sure after he went "Now you can concentrate without distractions", Then i kinda laughed, then i was like ohhhh nice one !
I knew Kurama had a plan but was not too sure what is was
I actually did figure he was giving him the chakra boost.
