As a general rule, I try to stay away from lumpy brown objects fetched from the jaws of strange dogs. But when you're in the heart of Oregon mushroom country, every mud-caked ball of earth could be a truffle treasure.
I'm standing at the edge of a dense fir forest in the Willamette Valley with 18 foot-stomping, hand-clapping gourmands and their pets—shepherds, poodles, a Chihuahua in a knit sweater. We're huddled together on a chilly Saturday morning to learn how to hunt one of the state's most prized culinary ingredients: the elusive Oregon truffle.
"Today we're going after the Oregon white," says Jim Sanford, a 6-foot-4 former elephant handler turned dog trainer and the leader of our expedition. Beside him, sitting at attention, is Tom, a 35-pound Lagotto Romagnolo with tight white and tan curls, a trained truffle hunter who in one season sniffed out 200 pounds of French Périgords, the second-most expensive mushroom in the world at around $900 a pound. "The only place we've ever hunted Oregon truffles is right here. Exactly this weekend every year."
The last full week in January, to be precise, when Oregon truffles tend to reach their musky peak of perfection and hundreds of enthusiasts from around the world come to Eugene for the Oregon Truffle Festival—three days of unrestrained fungal madness that includes workshops, cooking demos, seminars, wine tastings, and elaborate multicourse dinners built around the mud-caked balls of earth that Tom and his pack of four-legged foragers hope to uncover.
We're led down a drainage ditch, then into a stand of trees so thick it takes a minute for my eyes to adjust. The air is heavy with the scent of pine and peat and decaying earth. Most of the dogs do what any canine does when presented with a forest of unmarked trees, but the Lagottos, with Tom in the lead, follow some programmed instinct and begin sniffing in circles until they zero in on a specific tree, jam their noses into its base, and dig.
The Oregon white truffle (Tuber oregonense) grows symbiotically in the root systems of Douglas firs throughout the Northwest, from southern Oregon north to British Columbia, marching west from the Cascades to the Coast Range. It propagates naturally on timberland and prefers places where the sun rarely penetrates the canopy and the soil remains cool and moist much of the year. Places just like this.
I come across Bill Collins, a clinical psychologist who throws eight-course truffle-centric dinner parties for friends, leaning over his dog, Rico, a purebred Lagotto furiously excavating a hole until he finds his prize. Collins reaches down and pulls out a gumball-size nugget and hands it to me. The aroma clears my sinuses, as if I'm sniffing horseradish. I hand it back to him, and he inhales. "It's really a hard scent to describe," says Collins, stuffing the truffle into his satchel. "Almost like a pheromone."
At their peak, Oregon white truffles release oils that bind with fats in meats and cheeses, and this complex cocktail of organic compounds is what imbues food with the truffle's culinary magic. People pay as much as $400 a pound for that magic. But the window of ripeness lasts two weeks, tops. Plucked from the earth before or after those oils have been released, the truffle is practically worthless.
For years, foragers here raked the forest floor, unearthing both ripe and unripe truffles, the lesser of which flooded the market, giving Oregon truffles a bad rep with chefs and vendors. Now foragers are awakening to the European method, using Lagottos and other trained dogs to dig out the ripest, most intense truffles. The result: a region flush with truffle love.

What is in this article?:
- Precision farming saving money
- Can make better decisions
• Team members estimate precision farming practices are saving Alabama producers an estimated $10 million annually — and precisely in the ways they expected it would: by improved accuracy, namely steering them clear of the over-applicaton of inputs such as seed, pesticides and nutrients.
More About:
A time or two in their careers, John Fulton and other members of the Alabama Precision Agriculture team may have wondered if their upbeat message was falling on deaf ears.
Precision farming practices would reap producers big savings, if only farmers would give it time. Everything associated with their training and research convinced them of that.
Some farmers did give it time — several, in fact, including Hillsborough, Ala., farmer Don Glenn, helped pioneer precision farming practices.
Yet, a few continued to express doubts.
Now, after a decade, team members feel a measure of vindication. Precision farming does save.
How much? Team members estimate the practices are saving Alabama producers an estimated $10 million annually — and precisely in the ways they expected it would: by improved accuracy, namely steering them clear of the over-applicaton of inputs such as seed, pesticides and nutrients.
"Granted, these savings vary according to management practices, type of farming operation and other factors, but the bottom line is that guidance systems and automatic section controls have been able to reduce over-application of inputs," says Fulton, an Alabama Cooperative Extension System precision farming specialist and Auburn University associate professor of biosystems engineering.
Yet, it's not only about avoiding over-application, Fulton says.
He says these technologies have equipped producers with something equally valuable — a considerably more refined understanding of their operation's potential and limitations, which has enabled them to improve less productive areas and, in some cases, to take the least productive areas out of production.
In fact, that is one of the lessons associated with precision farming that is revealed over years rather than days or weeks using this technology and approach, he says.
"We have testimonials from producers speaking about that very thing," Fulton says. "There were unproductive areas within fields where fertility was low and it took some time for those site-specific management practices, such as variable-rate applications of nutrients, to pay off."

Our Hole-y Team
So I was looking at our team yesterday, and we seriously have a ton of holes. I feel like guys are slipping out of our hands so fast that we can't catch them all and they're leaving us completely empty.
Who have we lost this offseason already? Adrian Gonzalez to the Red Sox, Yorvit Torrealba to the Rangers, Miguel Tejada to the Giants, Kevin Correia to the Pirates, and now Tony Gwynn Jr. to the Dodgers. Plus we lost Chris Young. Our roster is looking awfully thin right now.
But we have signed pitcher Aaron Harang, and we're about to sign Dustin Moseley, who is also a pitcher. So now our rotation looks like…Mat Latos, Harang, Clayton Richard, Moseley, and Wade LeBlanc or Tim Stauffer. I don't know. It might work, but it seems like a very unstable rotation.
Well, I guess we'll have to see how things pan out. We've still got a ton of offseason left (waaaaaa), so we have a lot of time to pull a team together.
In other news, the Latest Leaders list on MLBlogs.com came out for the month of November. This blog is #5 of all fan blogs!!! I'm sooooo excited!! I think I was #5 a couple months ago, but 5 is my absolute favorite number and I'm so excited to get it again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all of you for reading this blog. It's so much fun to know that you guys are reading so much that you're putting this blog in the top 5 of all fan blogs. I can't thank you enough!
Of course, I can't mention the number five without showing you THE number five:
Love you Kouz🙂
I hope you all have a great day!!
4 Comments
I am really going to miss seeing Adrian.
Congrats on being #5
You want to talk "holey" look at my Rays bullpen with a scrub and a jack-of-all-trades as the only members…until we finish off this chaotic Bartlett trade.
But with teams in small markets with limited payola we will have suffer the slings and aroows of our player misfortunes for a season after a stinit of progress.
Hate to say it, but we both might experience a drop in intensity and fruition this year, but the heart and the drive to succeed will still be what makes us enjoy watching these guys achieve great things in 2011…That and a great hot dog!

I think this "Kouz Krush" you have with this guy, is HILARIOUS…its cute.

Fact Sheet Series 2004 - Adult Basic and Literacy Education
The OVAE Fact Sheet Series highlights efforts currently underway at the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) to support the principles of the President's No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The principle(s) supported by this effort are:
- Increase Accountability and Academic Achievement
- Focus on What Works
The primary emphasis, to date, in building research knowledge about how adults learn and improve their literacy skills has been placed on reading. Equally important is the need for adult learners to develop and strengthen skills in mathematics and for educators to identify the modes of instruction that work best in developing those skills and their applications.
In Fall 2003, the Department awarded a contract that will identify existing strategies and practices, with supporting data, in developmental mathematics instruction that have been designed by community colleges, the military, business, and organized labor. The project will identify 20 programs that address mathematics remediation, enable students to strengthen their math abilities, gain proficiency in basic math, and progress to higher level math courses or work assignments.
Outcomes and Products
- A review of the literature that describes the key elements or components of program instruction that help students achieve proficiency in math
- Literature Review And Analysis
FY 2004 to FY 2005

Please Help Tim's Soon-To-Be Brother Win A Contest!
Hi, folks. I'm taking a brief time out from the 2010 Baseball Roadtrip entries to share some news and ask for your help.
In the next couple weeks, Tim is going to become a big brother. We're all very excited. The ultrasound shows that its going to be another little boy (and Mariners fan).
We're busy preparing for the new addition and my wife just entered a contest with a local photographer to try to win an infant portrait session and photos. It is very simple — just one click and no personal info to enter. The contest is for baby nurseries and there are only four entrants.
We need your vote!
If you're inclined to help out, please CLICK HERE and then scroll down to vote for "#3 Baby Cook"!
FYI, the little guy's room is still a work in progess (it doesn't even have any baseball bats hanging in it yet — gasp!), but here is the picture my wife entered in the contest:
FYI, I cannot tell you the little guy's name just yet, but it will not be Griffey or Ichiro. I can tell you, however, that his first game will be October 1st at Safeco Field!
Thanks…Todd, Colleen and Tim.
12 Comments
Wow! Exciting news and congrats Todd. Now you can share your baseball experience with Tim and the little guy! Good luck to you!
Quick off-topic question, how do you combine 2 or more pictures and make it into 1 whole pic like the top one with Tim and the maps and him eating Mcdonalds? Thanks for your help. (In the GFS game 3 entry)
Well, if I can help bring ice cream helmets to Baltimore I can surely help with this too. I just voted and by the looks of the results (as of 7:08 6/29 CST) you guys are gonna get it! How long is the voting period? Can I vote more than once? I didn't even read anything on that page, I just clicked. Good luck, I truly hope you win! (If his name isn't Griffey or Ichiro, please tell me it's not Spike). I don't think Colleen would agree to that anyways. Give Tim a fist bump for me!
Wow Todd, I can't congratulate you enough. Now you'll be the next parent to have two kids in the majors, like the Hairston bros. Congrats to Tim as well, I bet he is extremely excited. Can't wait to meet the new youngster next year, hopefully. You definitely have my vote! Congrats to your whole family. Joe
Congrats Todd. It couldn't be any more appropriate that your new son will see his first game at Safeco.
Todd (PA)
Congratulation once again – Just did our part with the vote -hope beating out baby #1 Moyer is not Jamie Moyer's grandchild or relative(wouldn't that be an interesting story). If the ultrasound is wrong, Jessica is a good name for a girl. We hope all goes smoothly for you, Colleen and Tim – Todd (HI)
tip for everyone, use all your different browsers (safari, internet explorer, firefox, chrome) to vote more than once.
this room needs more navy and teal, but I'll vote for it.
– chris
Sort of off-topic, but Baskin Robbins is doing a promotion with all 30 MLB teams and their ice cream helmets. Since you and Tim are big ice cream helmet people like myself, I thought you would enjoy that!
Just voted for u guys. Congratz, with the baby and you're winning by 10 votes.😄
Thanks, thanks, thanks — for the voting and the well-wishing. We are definitely excited for this new little guy to join our family. And as to those who haven't voted, there is still time! Voting ends on July 6th. 😉 A few specific comment responses are also in order…
I use a program called Microsoft Picture It! You could also us PhotoShop or any photo editing software.
Yep, only one vote per computer. But feel free to visit multiple computers (including your phone). Hmm…maybe we'll have to rethink this, Spike is pretty good, and appropriate for me!
I would not have my son have his first game anywhere but the Mariners home field.
I highly doubt it. Half of the people from this area are named Moyer, Boyer, Hoyer…or something similar.
Thanks for the RB info.
Congratulations and a big O-ME-DE-TOH from Japan to you all, Todd, Colleen, and Tim!! Deeply sorry for my late celebration.
I voted from Safai and FireFox on my MacBook shortly before 10:00 PM (JST), and then visited the same voting page with Internet Explorer on Windows XP this morning (also JST) to add one more vote. WHAT A SURPRISE!! The #2 baby got over 500 votes between my two visits!! It's more than double of the votes for our #3. Just cannot figure out how the #2 baby could get hundreds of votes within a couple of hours. I will try with an earlier version of Safari on my older MacBook.

Mamet letter forces Alchemist to cancel 'Oleanna' after 1 performance
Milwaukee's Alchemist Theatre has canceled its production of the David Mamet drama "Oleanna" after one performance after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the playwright's representatives over the theater company's decision to cast a male actor in the play's lead female role.
"Oleanna," introduced to audiences shortly after the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991, centers on the relationship between a professor and a female student who accuses him of harassment and rape. »Read Full Article(11)

Newly released children's books also fun for adults
Three new visually oriented books for children may also appeal to adults:
"The Cosmobiography of Sun Ra" (Candlewick Press), written and illustrated by Chris Raschka. Jazz keyboardist, bandleader and composer Sun Ra (1914-'93) told everyone that he came from Saturn, and acted accordingly, though some prosaic people seem to think he was really a guy named Herman (Sonny) Blount from Birmingham, Ala. His band, wearing costumes that reflected ancient Egypt while also imagining future aliens, played everything from classic swing to freely improvised music. Raschka, a two-time winner of the Caldecott Medal for "The Hello, Goodbye Window" and "A Ball for Daisy," illustrates Ra's life and career in a colorful, slightly abstract style. He also makes a few salient points about the musician: "Being from outer space, Sun Ra was afraid neither of electrons nor electricity and so was one of the first musicians on Earth to use an electric keyboard. He played the Mini-Moog, the Clavinet, and the Rock-Si-Chord." I do wish the author or publisher had included an actual photo of Sun Ra. Listed for 6- to 9-year-olds, but also of interest to jazz fans of all ages. »Read Full Article

Alchemist Theatre delivers intense take on Mamet's 'Oleanna'
David Mamet's "Oleanna," in which a student accuses her professor of harassment and then rape, debuted in the immediate aftermath of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings, forever coloring how this play is understood.
But Mamet has noted that he began writing "Oleanna" before those hearings began; he also has claimed it's not really about sexual harassment, but rather a tragedy about language and power. In her promising directorial debut, Erin Eggers gets that and then some, resulting in a gripping production of "Oleanna" at Alchemist Theatre. »Read Full Article

Which TV stations had most, least coverage of Walker John Doe documents?
All four Milwaukee 10 p.m. TV newscasts dutifully reported the release of documents alleging violations of campaign finance law by Gov. Scott Walker, but weather and crime coverage preceded the story about what one anchor called "state political news that's making national headlines." Does this reflect on their level of interest, their expertise, or the fact that this is a complicated story, with multiple players, and no sensational visuals?
- WITI-TV (Channel 6) had the most thorough report - 160 seconds, or 8.8% of the 30-minute newscast. Anchor Ted Perry made the "national headlines" comment and asked if Walker was part of a "criminal scheme" or the "victim of a witchhunt?"
Reporter Ben Handelman called the release of the allegations a "document dump," and straddled the line speculatively: "Does it show a crime or nothing at all?" »Read Full Blog Post(6)

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Sunday, May 4, 2008
Will this ever end?
I feel achy in my arms, shoulders, neck, my glands hurt, my head hurts, the fatigue and weakness are kind of bad and I'm irritable. Last night I felt sick to my stomach at times, dizzy, lightheaded. I also get this weird chest-like pressure sensation. It's not exactly pressure in my chest which would be alarming but again, difficult to describe.
It feels like some sort of herx reaction. I don't think it's from the herbs because I finished those on Thursday. I am wondering if it's a reaction to the Resveratol. Either it's a herx or this is how the illness is presenting itself now. I'll be glad when I can talk to the doctor on the 16th. I have acupuncture on Weds thank goodness.
My mind just doesn't work like it used to. I can't write like I used to and I find that frustrating. I'm unable to really express myself. It's unbelievable to me that my committee wanted me to publish my dissertation and begin to write for journals. It's aggravating. At least if I had my mind and could feel a sense of being able to communicate what I need/want to.
I'm getting better at giving myself shots. The past 2 days there's been a leftover big red spot where the shot was. I think it's from the b12 dye or something. Today there was no red mark.
I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

Even though you feel like crap, you are still working so hard to get well, run your bookselling, do the dishes, keep me happy... I'm so proud of you (and I think you should take a vacation!). We'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks. I know you will be feeling better (or starting on that path) very soon! I love you!

T- We never did meet, but I wanted to tell you that I have been thinking a lot about you and your situation. My Mother has been experiencing similar symptoms for the past 6 years and only recently felt her symptoms were even acknowledged by her newest physician. It has been a long battle, but she has only become a stronger person for it. She is also finally getting some answers after much advocating. From all that D has said about you, you are a strong, wise and resilient woman who is probably better equipped to deal with this path than most people. I will continue to send you positive thoughts and provide support however I can(this includes sending you some of my books as soon as my defense is over)!

Im offering private lessons on Skype, 60 $ for 45 minutes, email me for details
As a service (and another encouragement to donate), to those who dont care to download the "lick of the day" videos one by one from various videohosts... Get the 300 videos!
All donations over 20$ will recieve 100 selected "Bass lick of the day" transcriptions (standard notation with TABlature ) as a token of appreciation;-)
See all 100 licks here
Ive been allowed to provide you with the actual written bass parts, done by my musical director Jan Glæsel for the danish talk show Meyerheim, where i have the basschair in the houseband.
We typically play 2 songs by either a international or local danish artist in each show.
The bass parts are mostly in written out music with the sample bassline and chord symbols.
Specific fills and bass line variations are up to my own judgement.
We usually get both the mp3 and the score in good time before the shows, so there is plenty of time to dwelve into the original tracks if needed (I like to be as close to the original, but with one or two fills of my own when appropiate)
A song we did with danish artist På Slaget 12 – Som en komet
You can download the pdf, while you play to the youtube video or the original if you have that
(This is the original pdf file, in a few cases small changes have been made to the arrangement prior to performing, but for the most parts are correct)

Hi, I am not sure how this works as never been on a forum or site like this before, but I am expecting to blast my message off into the ether and lots of amazing more experienced breastfeeding mums to answer....not sure this is quite how it works but here goes! Emily is my first baby, currently 8 1/2 months, still breastfeeding loads in the day and 2 or 3 times a night. so far I have only left her for an afternoon or so.
I am in a tricky work situation and have to return to a job two hours away from home for 17 and1/2 hours a week. just for 3 months in order not to pay back my maternity pay. this wil mean staying away one or two nights a week, but it is only temporary. I really don't want to give up breastfeeding and i get the feeling that emily doesn't either. I have managed to postpone going back to work until she is 11 months by taking unpaid leave, so don't want to do anything drastic until then, but i have to do a few bits and bobs of work over the next few months, including two training days whete i will have to stay away overnight in about two weeks time. My partner pete will be looking after emily this time i go away, and I have hand expressed bottles and frozen it(no luck with the pump) for this fisrt trip, but not sure what will happen after that. Will my milk supply survive being away two nights a week if i just hand express? (i know its not ideal but seems the best and easiest way i get most out) or will emily loose interest? i guess further down the line isn't my biggest worry as she will be older and eating more, but i am really worried about this trip coming up as she is still breatfeeding loads and if i am not there in the night will it totally freak her out if her dad is there
with a bottle? also should i be practising before hand and having a night away from her, or trying to wean her a little bit by giving her bottles, even though i am not properly going back to work till oct?
am sure i am irrationally panicky and have total fear of seperation anxiety but hey, any suggestions gratefully recieved, am really enjoying brestfeeding and would like to keep going as long as possible . cheers! zoe xxx

A friend I've kept in touch with since our graduate counseling program days recently discussed the manic-depression he's dealt with for decades.
In his depressive states, "Tom" sits around practically unable to function. In his manic states he is "on top of the world with profound truths shooting like meteorites from my head."
His definition of being "crazy" is when the activities and thoughts of a person are not in context with the environment.
"At a honky-tonk I might get so excited by the music I get up on a table and dance — and that is acceptable. But if I do it at Red Lobster, I don't even get to stay for dessert."
Most people had trouble understanding a stunt Tom pulled at DFW International Airport a few years ago.
Standing behind a black couple, he danced an Irish jig and made some apparently inappropriate comments.
"They thought what I said was funny and laughed. I thought the situation merited my remarks because my thoughts were going 120 miles per minute.
"I thought how ironic for us whites to be waiting behind these blacks after they'd waited on us all these years. I thought there was a divine symbolism in what I said."
Shortly thereafter, while riding in the back seat of a police car, the sound of the wheels hitting metallic reflectors became entwined with a poem by Archibald MacLeish:
"If God is God, He is not good. If God is good, He is not God. Take the even, take the odd, I would not sleep here if I could. Except for the little green leaves in the wood, and the wind on the water."
Tom says the tires hitting the reflectors became the wind on the water — "all the way to the hospital."

Surya donates EMW scholarships on behalf of top customer accounts
December 24, 2013-- Home Accents Today,
Rug and home décor manufacturer Surya made a donation on behalf of each of its top customer accounts to East Meets West, an international nonprofit development organization that serves communities in Asia.
Each donation from the Calhoun, Ga.-based manufacturer will provide an impoverished high school student a one-year scholarship that covers tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation and regular intensive tutoring.
"We strongly believe in bringing positive change to the communities around us and are excited about the opportunity to help students turn their dreams into reality," said Surya President Satya Tiwari. "We are pleased to be able to honor our customers by making a donation that will have a lasting impact. It is my hope that, in the coming year, Surya can do even more to positively impact the lives of those who are less fortunate."
Overall, as part of the company's commitment to charitable giving, Surya is making it possible for 200 girls to attend high school through graduation and is providing a four-year college education for five students who would not otherwise be able to afford the costs of higher education.
EMW's SPELL Scholarship program has provided comprehensive high school scholarships to more than 11,000 high-achieving students at risk of dropping out of school due to poverty or social pressure, helping them to graduate and gain meaningful employment.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Are we going to see gai at its full strenght, like opening 8gates or w.e, i think we havent seen his best imo, that fight with kisame was nothing.
yeah i think the same...
One more reason- fourth would hav recognised his student at the time of fighting. As forth was obitos sensei..
Has anyone noticed how madara is young as a edo. but he dies Old like lady Chiyo.
Originally Posted by Yugito

i think he is very well in a hurry to get back to rin/kakashi/konoha,
but he has as well realized that madara doesn't seem to let him go.
results in obito training (long and) hard to get used to and strengthen his "new" body.
for blasting out his way violently.
what he even tried after receiving the news about his comrades.
but i fully agree with everything else u said!

Kabuto ressed madara like he was at his prime.
awesome chapter
ok ..so its flashback time weekend ..this probably would take until next 2 chapters.
I now feel strongly that, at the end, the moon's eye plan will fail because of Obito. Well, as we can clearly see, he is really a good person by heart and was turned otherwise because of madara. I mean, he doesn't even know he's the bad Guy now. Madara merely twisted his perception of what is right.
And so, knowing how naruto works, he'll probably do something that will make obito change his mind back to his old self again, which was the good person that he truly was.
End of story.
this is getting interesting by the time
in ch. 604 they will show obito in battlefield and found rin dead
it would be some zetsu work to kill rin
What I think is this madara had his eyes on Nagato when he was still little via Zetsu also on Obito while he was still very little due to their potentials and Madara told Obito that it was like he almost phased through the rock quote "almost" which hints he has the ability but it is yet to be activated, I think the whole attacks and all was planned to bring Obito to that cave, and the Kakashi/Rin incident is also engineered by Madara and Zetus to enable him activate th MS and make Obito stay. Am thinking after he sees Rin dies Madara will give him another sermon like...
Madara: I told you this world is full of hate and death, now u have a new power awakened by the death of someone close Rin I guess, then don't let it be a waste use that power to help me and achieve my moon eye plan and we could bring back the dead like ur beloved Rin.
Obito: can you really bring Rin back?
Madara: why would I lie to a brat...!
Obito (in tears and screams): Kakashi you should saved her you should have ....... I won't forgive you and Konoha and the mist and the whole ninja world you shall all go to dream forever.....!
Madara: we have one other problem the uchiha clan they betrayed me once and they could do it again and only them could break out of the IT genjustu and stop us from bringing Rin back, we have to eliminate them. We will use white Zetsu to copy some of their chakra and cause them to riot and create and opportunity to eliminate them, I told you about my eyes earlier I gave them to a kid named Nagato, I want you to assist him and at the right time with my eyes he shall awaken me and Rin. I am weak and tired now Zetsu will explain the rest to you and you also have a part of Zetsu in you use that to copy my chakra and I will transfer my remaining chakra and power and will to you Uchiha Obito use my name to put fear in people until am awakened.
Madara dies .....!

Actually now that i think about it Madara would also have motivation to control the Mizukage and have shinobi kill Rin just so he can twist Obito. I don't think Madara was alive when this happened though?
I was r thinkin the same thing bro
lol tobi likes poo!!!! lolthis chater is like a missing piece of the puzzle we needed that good info
i think that obito's was used to kill rin!!! when he jump in to black zetsu's body!! and then kakashi cant stop him... thats my theory on the next naruto manga
Originally Posted by Chatte
Plus, how do things explain that Obito grew Madara's long hair in like 3 days?
The number of days wasn't stated so it could be that months or even years passed
we see what happen to rin and kalashi
maybe the spiral guy is orange zetsu
Ok people, don't be so illogical. There is no way Obito would become good all of a sudden m. Keep in mind that over the years he went as far asvto create the akautski AND have pain completely obliterate the hidden leaf. And that's just part of the long list of twisted crimes he has done under the allows "Tobi"/"Madara". He means buisness. Also I predict Initial will kill kakashi "for real this time" and NARUTO will just LOOSE IT.

dude check the mask on obito when he fought minato , thats not the zetsu suit

Good chapter and very funny too!
We don't only know were he's got his mask design from, but also the personality he had when he was teamed up with Deidara. I look forward to see what he's able to do in that body, and if he's become any stronger than he was before.
And yeah. He'll probably activate his mangekyo when he witnesses Rin's death.

Contest and Promotion Rules for RR Broadcasting Stations
Effective 11/1/2010
Unless otherwise specified by RR Broadcasting and it's Radio Stations (the "Station"), these rules cover routine contests and promotions conducted by the Station. These rules may be amended by separate specific rules for major contests or promotions conducted by the Station or its sponsors.
The contest or promotion (the "Promotion") will take place during the dates and times specified in the official rules of the Promotion (the "Promotion Period") or as announced on-air. The Station may change the dates and/or terms of the Promotion without prior notice. Any material changes will be broadcast on the Station and, if applicable, posted on its website located at www.kdes.com, www.mix1005.fm, www.kptr1450am.com , www.newstalk920.com & www.kwxy.com.
Promotions conducted on-air that require telephone responses to "cues to call" are only official when heard on-air via radio. Due to delays with the Station's online streaming of its broadcast signal, listeners to the online stream may not be able to participate in or be disadvantaged in participating in certain Promotions.
To be eligible to enter or participate in the Promotion, listeners must follow the instructions set forth in the official rules of the Promotion or as announced on-air and must fulfill all of the eligibility requirements of the Promotion. Unless otherwise specified, the Promotion is open to all listeners of the Station who are legal U.S. residents, 18 years of age or older and who live in the Palm Springs area. Employees of the Station, its licensee, the licensee's parent, subsidiary and affiliated entities, Station's advertising and promotional agencies, its participating sponsors, other radio stations in the Palm Springs metropolitan area and the members of their immediate families and/or households are ineligible to participate or win.

Unless otherwise permitted by the Station, winner(s) must claim his or her prize in person, and a prize cannot be claimed by third parties on behalf of the winner. If a Promotion is open to entrants under the age of 18 and a winner is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must claim the prize. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the forfeiture of the prize. A winner will forfeit any prize or prize certificate not claimed within ten (10) days (or sooner for time sensitive prizes) of winning. Unless otherwise specified or required by law, if a prize is not claimed no alternate winner will be selected and the prize will become the property of the Station. The Station, solely at its discretion and only with the consent of the winner, may opt to deliver the prize to the winner by mail or overnight courier.

Each prize is expressly limited to the item(s) announced by the Station and does not include taxes, gratuities or any other expenses. Other restrictions may apply.
Decisions of the Station's management with respect to the Promotion are final.
Potential winner(s) will be selected and notified of their prize in the manner announced by the Station. Promotion winner(s) must execute and return any required Affidavit of Eligibility and/or Release of Liability Prize Acceptance Form within ten (10) days of winning or being notified of winning (or sooner for time sensitive prizes) or prize will be forfeited and an alternate winner may be selected. If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the required affidavit of eligibility and/or liability/publicity release within the required time period, or if a prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner forfeits the prize.
Payments of all federal, state and local taxes related to the award of a prize are solely the responsibility of the winner of the prize. The winner will be required to complete and submit an IRS Form W-9 with the winner's full Social Security Number or the equivalent for receipt of any prize valued at $600 or more or for any prizes awarded by the Station (RR Broadcasting Stations) in a calendar year with an aggregate value of $600 or more and such winnings will be reported to the IRS.

The Station reserves the right to make changes in the rules of the Promotion, including, without limitation, the substitution of a prize or equivalent value, which will become effective upon announcement. If due to circumstances beyond the control of the Station, any event related to the Promotion or prize is delayed, rescheduled, postponed, cancelled or has a change of venue, the Station reserves the right, but is not obligated, to cancel or modify the Promotion and shall not be required to award a substitute prize. The Station is not responsible for typographical or other errors in the printing, the offering or the administration of the Promotion, or in the announcement of a prize.
The Station, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to disqualify any person tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Station's website.

This could be a frustrating day for you, dear Virgo, if you insist on having things done your way. More than likely, this attitude will create more enemies than friends. Give your mind a break and let your intuition take over. Chances are, the less you have to think about a decision, the better a decision it will be. Over-analyzing the situation will only prove to be a waste of time for everyone involved. The answer is pure and simple.Ok, I'm frustrated. So depressed that I have insomnia almost every night. I suppose you already reckon a bit of my personality from my past postings about my neighborhood and the crowd of Jakarta. And in addition, about the future of my education.
I have to admit that I always compare my life to another (which is happened to be prettier, slimmer, luckier, smarter, whatsoever) yet making my life so convoluted! The dilemma of my future life; Am I going to be successful MD? How long does it take to be one? Would my husband allow me to be a career-woman? Argh, I know it sounds ridiculous, regarding how old I am now, but trust me, I am a long-term-planning person that I won't do useless things without prior vision. The fact that I really despise the system of this country; the lack of law enforcement (which ends up to be anarchist and load of crimes), city's lay-out (busway, monorail, MRT? perhaps, without thinking how many times some areas are sinking during rainy season hence crying help to the government to make watersheds instead of making those monorails!), making me desirely want to go overseas in order to have a better living.
Poor me, my campus' system is not even better. As the only faculty in Pluit Campus of Atma Jaya University, I think we are abandoned. The free internet facilities at library are far away from what-I-call standard of an expensive medical faculty. The parking area is not enough (read: too narrow) to accommodate all students. And this morning, I had an argument with security parking officer about my obligation to pay the parking fee.
Regularly, I have to buy a parking sticker (it costs IDR 150,000) that valids for 6 months to free me from daily parking fee (IDR 1,500 per entry). Yes, currently it has expired since August 1, 2006, but yesterday I listened to Students' Representatives gave breaking news about reconstruction of PUSLITKES building (part of my campus) that will make our parking areas more limited, therefore my kind-of-parking-sticker is given extention for its validation until the end of 2007. I was so happy....until this morning.
The security parking officer stopped my car and asked me to pay. Of course I refused. I told him that my sticker is still valid. However, he said that his head officer hasn't yet received the announcement. Huh! Didn't want to go for further debate, I gave him the money (and swore at him; F*CK!). Blame the system! Miscommunication? Yeah right...!!! I'm not alone, some of friends already submitted their complains to campus officer.
Yesterday my brother told me about the existence of Motorbikers Gang in Jakarta getting worst. He read some information that the gang is conquering main road in hundreds of motorbikes around midnight and not hesitate to have fights with other road users. Pay attention! Because the police officers seem to be afraid of them. (No wonders, who dare to face hundreds people when you are by yourself? Stop thinking about Superman!)
Road rage are no longer secrets. But fireguns are easily to have for public? Ouch!! See what happened to this man. Luckily I think the case is closed now. What is going on happen here???

Not to be confused with traditional oil finishes, OSMO Hardwax Oil is an engineered finish made with plant oils and waxes, plus just enough highly refined mineral spirits to allow easy application. This remarkable finish offers excellent durability and renewability with a unique lustrous finish. It will never crack, blister or flake off. Instead of forming a plastic film, like polyurethane does, OSMO Hardwax Oil has open pores that "breathe." This allows any moisture that does get through to get back out again without pushing off the finish.OSMO Polyx-Oil, the original Hard Wax Oil, is made from readily renewable, natural ingredients: 2 natural waxes (carnauba and candelilla) and 3 natural oils (sunflower, soybean, and thistle). It preserves the look and feel of real wood because it is not a plastic coating over your floor - instead it penetrates and strengthens the wood grain from within.OSMO Polyx-Oil contains no biocides or preservatives, and when dry it is safe for humans, plants and animals. Polyx-oil meets European safety standards for use on children's furniture and toys and resistance to perspiration and saliva.Because it is micro-porous, Hardwax Oil performs very well in rooms with high humidity, such as kitchens. It meets German standards for resistance to stains from wine, cola, coffee, tea, fruit juice and, of course, beer.
Properly maintained, this finish can last indefinitely. The OSMO Opti-Set maintenance kit is recommended for cleaning and maintaining your floor. Here are some helpful suggestions on cleaning the floor:
When it comes time to refresh and/or repair Polyx Oil, use these tips:

France Taxes America: The Robin Hood Tax
As we warned in our new book, "Here Come the Black Helicopters: U.N. Global Governance and the Loss of Freedom," globalists have decided to tax the American people to funnel money to the third world.
As predicted, France passed the world's first Robin Hood Tax — a levy of two-tenths of one percent on all French share transactions — purchases or sales — even when they are bought or sold by Americans.
The new tax is expected to raise €500 million annually, a portion of which French President Francois Hollande has committed to give to fight global poverty and HIV/AIDS.
The idea for a global "Robin Hood" tax is being pushed by the global left as a way to tax the American people, and other investors, to ship funds to the third world.
David Hillman, spokesperson for the Robin Hood Tax campaign said "It's great news that France is forging ahead with a Robin Hood tax — showing it's capable of putting the interests of the people before the profits of a privileged few."
He said that the French tax "is a precursor for more ambitious Financial Transactions Tax that nine European countries plan on implementing as early as December of this year. The broader tax would apply "not just to shares, but to bond and derivative transactions" and is supposed to raise €34 billion.
The precedent here is outrageous. France is taxing Americans who hold French shares. And the example is likely to spread around the world. This is the beginning of a global attempt to tax the United States and make individual Americans liable for tax payments, which will raise money for third world dictators.
The U.N. and the European Union have long lusted after the American tax base and have wanted to find ways to get their hands on it. Now, France has led the way.
