Chabad rabbi Tzvi Freeman writes that all pornography is bad. If a man already has a habit of watching pornography, how do you quit?
Guard Your Eyes has a useful website, including forums, videos, an e-book entitled The GYE Handbook, et cetera. Here are some ideas. I have been taken some of these ideas from their materials.
The following organizations may have helpful websites and/or telephone hotlines.
Fine yourself 50 dollars (to be paid to tzedaka) for each time you view pornography, enforced with a neder (vow), and with a maximum of 100 dollars per day. Make a condition that the neder be valid only if you remember it beforehand and that it is valid for one or two weeks only. (You can renew it after.)
You'll squash the habit in no time.
However, this assumes you will not transgress a neder under any circumstance. Otherwise, it wont work, and you'll be worse off in that you'll likely be violating a neder. (see the book Orech Apayim on anger which discusses this technique and suggests not eating anything until the fine is payed)
This technique is extreme but, if you have yiras shamayim, it works and is a gold mine. I've used it successfully to break some deeply ingrained bad habits (not pornography related) that I'm convinced I would never have succeeded in breaking without this method. (although for some things like not getting angry, it wont work since it's too vague and too hard. must be action related things such as not smoking or not hitting your kid.)
Warning: Making a neder/vow is very serious and can incur severe punishments from upstairs. always check with your LOA first.

Forwards Brett Sterling, Steven Anthony, Darren Archibald, Andrew Gordon and defensemen Patrick Mullen and Yann Sauve lit the lamp for the Wolves. Mullen and blueliner Derek Joslin dished out two assists apiece.
Chicago (1-0-0-1) opened its offensive explosion with three goals in a 72-second span early in the first period. Sterling bagged the game's opening goal on the power play at 6:33. Mullen stripped the puck at center ice and sent Sterling in on a breakaway and he beat Rockford goaltender Alec Richards.
Anthony doubled the Wolves lead 28 seconds later when he redirected a Nathan Lonpgre shot from the near circle over Richards' blocker.
Archibald closed out the scoring fury when he scooped up a rebound at the side of the goal and backhanded the puck into an empty net at 7:45 of the opening frame.
The Wolves opened a 4-0 lead while on a five-on-three advantage at 11:56. Joslin slipped a pass in the high slot to Mullen, who stepped into a wrister that beat Richards.
Gordon tallied the Wolves fifth goal when he tucked home a Mullen shot that hit off the post as Richards was unable to corral the rebound in the crease at 7:18 of the second period.
Richards (0-1-0) stopped 16 of 21 shots in 29:22 of action before giving way to Kent Simpson, who posted 8 saves.
Rockford (0-1-0-0) notched its only goal 1:31 into the third period when an errant clearing attempt by goaltender Matt Climie found the stick of left wing Kyle Beach, who tapped home the puck into an empty net.
Climie kicked out 13 shots in 30:38 of relief duty after replacing Chicago starter Eddie Lack. Lack (1-0-0) thwarted all 9 shots he faced.
Sauve closed out scoring when his shot from the near circle got through traffic past Simpson at 7:53 of the final frame.
The Wolves play their final home game of the preseason at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 5, when they host the Peoria Rivermen at the Triphahn Center and Ice Arena in Hoffman Estates.

UFC 156 main card fighter salaries: Reem takes up to $428,671.43
UFC 156 main card fighter salaries: Reem takes up to $428,671.43 - Mixed Martial Arts News
Yahoo Sports Kevin Iole just tweeted the purses for UFC 156 main card.
Main card salaries:
Edgar & Aldo 120/120 each
Overeem 285714.29/142857.14 Silva 70/0
Rashad 300/215 Nog 107/67
Fitch 66/66 Maia 60/60
Joe B 30/30 McCall 9/9The above figures are presumably based on the fighter salary information that promoters are required by law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners' bonuses.
The figures do not represent a full accounting of each fighter's income.
Fighters bear significant costs including training expenses, a percentage to management, a percentage to the trainer, plus insurance, licenses, and taxes.
On the income side, sponsorship money can be a substantial portion, or even exceed the purse from the fight. As well there are explicit 'of the Night' performance bonuses, and less formal 'locker room bonuses.'
Lastly, many fighters earn income from teaching, from appearances, and in many cases from regular employment in the non fighting space.

You know how once you start one home improvement project, the whole concept snowballs and pretty soon youre cooking on a camp stove in the snow while drunken strangers add a second story to your house?
Yeah. Lifes funny that way.
There is no drunken stranger in our story, because my wise husband, Widdle Baby, hires only people he knows. So we had fine Christian workmen and didnt have to hide the liquor. Well, Widdle actually had to hide it from me halfway through the kitchen redo, which was supposed to take three days (insert bitter laughter) and stretched into 10, with no washer and dryer and the fridge wedged into the guest room. Since the door would only open four inches, dinner was whatever our groping hands grabbed first. (One night I ate an onion slathered in jam.)
Anyway, after the kitchen was finished, we were thrilled with the new floor, paint, appliances, etc. Not thrilled enough to add a new bathroom or install a fireplace, but satisfied. Life got back to normal, or as normal as life gets with a husband named Widdle.
But, as most adults have learned, normal never lasts. One night a few weeks later, I was soaking in the tub--idly wondering why all the toes on my left foot are crooked--when there came an almighty CRASH! THUD! BANG! from the center hall.
First, the facts: Our old house is a hodgepodge of added rooms and odd nooks. To get to the center hall, one walks through the dining room, or takes a hard right from the kitchen through a guest room. Two other bedrooms and my bathroom also open off the center hall. The hall itself contains a massive antique breakfront from a defunct shoe store in Walterboro, a Victorian chair and a huge, framed black-and-white portrait of me, Widdle and our beloved Nicky. The frame is made of massive, five-inch gilt molding.
Now, when I heard that ungodly noise, my first thought was: Widdles had a heart attack and pulled the breakfront over on himself. I am now the Widow Widdle.
Screaming, I leaped out of the tub, careened wildly across the bathroom floor and slammed into the closed door. I heard Widdle shout something in the hall as I yanked the door open.
Then I careened wildly across the hardwood hall floor and slammed into Widdle, who was upright and perfectly healthy. (Although rightfully annoyed at getting screamed at, slammed into and soaked simultaneously. Turns out he wasnt shouting, Im dead, he was shouting, Calm down!)
The crash-thud-bang happened when the heavy family portrait fell off the wall, because said wall suddenly bulged outward. The portrait slammed into a freestanding bookcase, did a somersault and hit the floor. The wall was wrecked, several glass items on the bookcase exploded, and I was a sniveling hot mess.
After I finished gibbering and turning aimlessly in circles, Widdle began to inspect the damage.
He looked at the wall, which now sported several cracks. He pressed his fingers into some soft spots and said, Hmmmmm-mmmmmm. (English translation: This wall is tore up.) Then he stepped back, squinted and said, You know what this means?
No, I snapped, still damp and sulky.
It means we need to tear out this wall and put in a new wall. We need . he paused dramatically. More renovations.
I went straight for the wine.
To be continued .

Le canicule. The heatwave. I stepped off of the train on our very first day as nantais, true residents of Nantes, walked out of the station laden down with bags and boxes, a violin case slung around my neck, my arms dragged down by all of the precious, fragile things that we didn't want to push into the moving van, and was slapped in the face by the heat. And not just any normal August heat. A sweltering, searing, oppressive heat. Le canicule! Accompanied by Clem, equally weighed down, I took a very deep breath, filling my lungs with steaming, leaden air and tried to orient myself. Clever son exclaimed, "Oh, I know the fastest way to get to the apartment! I did it with Papa when we came to clean." So off we trudged, me following in his unruffled, adolescent, apparently-immune-to-the-heat wake.
I had absolutely no idea where we were going. As directionally challenged as I am normally, this trip had me totally discombobulated. Weighed down, cases and bags pressing into my already overheated body, onto my sticky, burning skin, I could feel the anger and impatience work its way up from the cobblestones pushing up into my feet, inching its way up gleefully and ready to burst out of the top of my already throbbing skull. Leaving the train station behind us, up and around the Chateau, over the uneven paving stones and through tiny, winding streets barely a jot cooler even in the shade of the teetering ancient buildings, I could contain it no longer and began complaining, the words jagged and sharp, aimed so cruelly at my son who kept reassuring me that he knew exactly where we were going. By the time we worked our way around in a very huge circle, pausing every few steps to rearrange the baggage strapped all over our flushed, feverish bodies, I found myself wondering aloud why in God's name we had ever considered making this life-changing move, regretting every single, painful step. But we finally made it. Like Robinson Crusoe finally making land, like discovering a cool, green oasis in the middle of the arid desert, we finally unlocked our new front door and dropped our load onto the hideous green carpet and collapsed. Home.
I must explain. JP and I had visited Nantes exactly twice. The first weekend he brought me here to explore, discover this city and decide if we did indeed want to move here. By complete chance, we bought a paper, looked through the real estate section and found the apartment of our dreams: 200 square meters of old office space smack dab in the center of Nantes. To renovate. Completely. Before leaving the city on Monday morning, we placed an envelope in the agent's hands with an offer and less than one week later she called and said the magic word "Yes." Our second visit to Nantes found us in the notary's office signing papers and handing over a check. And this, my third visit, was to stay.
And we moved. Two days spent packing and loading up the moving van, a day for Clem and I to head over to Nantes in order to be up at 8 a.m., the fourth morning to greet the van and begin unloading. JP, Simon and Kikka (our beloved boxer) would drive over later that day in our car. And we managed all of this sans air conditioning anywhere (house, apartment, car) during the height of the most famous of European heatwaves, the four hottest days of what seemed to be the hottest summer ever. Clem and I slept on the floor of the new apartment with little more than a couple of single futons, two sheets, an ice chest filled with rapidly melting ice and every window flung open. The apartment was like an oven, there wasn't even the suggestion of a breeze, the temperature hovering somewhere north of 40°C and pressing down on us, strangling us. I was grumpiness herself, complaining, kvetching, but doing everything I needed to do to get our new home ready for our belongings and our new life.
Everything arrived, we set up what would eventually turn into a two-year long campsite, the weather finally began to cool down and we settled in.
The next two years were spent discovering our new city, renovating our new home, the first we had ever owned! Our huge office building plate glass windows overlooked the hub of this charming city, the main drag, and day after day we would stand watching life go by, mesmerized by the movement, the diversity of people who populated our town, and this was the best entertainment we could possibly have, hours spent watching, laughing, better than TV could ever be! We wandered the streets, getting to know every sidewalk, every cobblestone, watching as the bright, clean Chateau was unveiled after 15 years of renovation, exploring her new museum and learning all about the history of this exciting city; watching as Nantes herself was renovated, an immense, ambitious project, from the center out, renovated, beautified, sections of the city brought back to life more lively and stunning than before. As our apartment evolved, walls knocked down, carpets ripped up, wooden floors refurbished back to their original beauty, walls painted deep autumn orange, gold and sage, sexy charcoal, luscious raspberry and cherry red, the kitchen was installed and the bathroom made livable, so did Nantes, buildings knocked down, new, gorgeous, fascinating buildings erected in their place, gardens planted, artwork sprinkled here and there, made lovelier and more livable as well. We grew as our city grew, our apartment evolved into a home as our city evolved into something just as beautiful, just as lively, just as comfortable and well-known, and we loved both more every day.
We have since sold our apartment five busy, long years later, and now are once again happy renters, always ready for a change, always open to possibilities. Nantes fits us like an old, worn sweater, is as familiar as an old friend. In these seven years, we have grown and changed just as our city has. We've learned lessons, we've lost and we've won, we've suffered heartbreak and frustration, we've felt love and joy. We've watched our sons grow and change as well, living through rough patches yet emerging as generous, adventurous adults, slowly finding their "sea legs" in life. Things happen by choice and things happen by chance and we have experienced the clashing of the two together, meeting unexpectedly like strangers bumping into each other on a street corner as evening falls.
I present to you the Gâteau Nantais, Nantes' Cake, the second in my series of local gastronomic traditions. The Gâteau Nantais is an invitation to travel, a densely satisfying cake drenched in West Indian rum, kissed by a subtle hint of almond and sweet with the perfume of the South Seas. Cloaked under its familiar, elegant white icing, the Gâteau Nantais has been pleasing the locals since the 18th Century when rum was king with its intriguing flavor and drunken bite. Sweet and sassy to be eaten just a sliver at a time, the Gâteau Nantais quickly becomes addictive. And like this magnificent city that lends her name to this elegant pastry, the Gâteau Nantais is easy and smooth, infused with the flavors of the past yet oh-so rich with a modern, exciting kick, a hidden secret savored by those who know her and love her so well.
This recipe for Gâteau Nantais was given to me by our former neighbor, Mme. R., une Nantaise born and raised, who changed and adapted the traditional recipe to fit her own personal taste. You will notice that the icing has a hint of brown rather than being perfectly white; this is because Mme. R. replaces the water in the original icing recipe with yet more rum to heighten the overall flavor. The Gâteau Nantais is simple, dense, moist and luscious, and even those averse to the flavor of rum will find it oh so very difficult to stay away from this delicious, intriguing cake. To be eaten in moderation.
Will serve 8 to 10 people.
125 g (9 Tbs) salted butter, softened to room temperature *
150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
125 g (4.4 oz or @ 1 1/4 cups + 1 Tbs) ground almonds
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
40 g (1/3 cup) flour
100 ml (3/8 liquid cup) rum
100 g (7/8 cup, 3.5 oz) powdered/confectioner's sugar
1 cup syrup **
* salted butter: do not forget that Nantes is in Brittany where salted butter reigns
** Syrup: Place 75 g (6 Tbs) granulated sugar + 155 ml (2/3 liquid cup) water into a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and, over medium heat, bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. As soon as the liquid comes to a rolling boil, remove the pan from the heat, fit the lid on the pot and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 22 cm (8 ½ inch) cake pan (no bigger, no smaller, it must be 22 cm), line with a circle of parchment paper then butter the paper lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar with an electric beater until blended, light and fluffy. Add and beat in the ground almonds.
Beat in the beaten eggs in 3 or 4 additions until well blended.
Add the flour and 1/3 of the rum to the batter and beat just until smooth and blended.
Pour and spread into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Cover lightly with a sheet of aluminum foil during the last 10 or 15 minutes if the cake looks to be browning a bit too quickly. The finished cake should be a deep blond/golden color and set in the center.
Your sugar syrup should now be cool. Stir 4 tablespoons of the remaining rum into the syrup.
As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, slide a knife around the edge to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan then carefully turn out onto a rack, peel off the parchment paper then flip upright onto another cooling rack. Immediately brush generously with about half of the rum-spiked sugar syrup. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Once the cake is cool, brush again with the remaining rum-spiked sugar syrup.
To make the icing, simply stir the rest of the rum into the powdered/confectioner's sugar until very smooth. Using a spatula spread the icing over the top of the cake, allowing it to run down the sides if you like.
Let the Gâteau Nantais sit and macerate, the icing solidifying, for a day before enjoying.
The Gâteau Nantais should be served in thin wedges.

How interesting, I spent five years living an hour from Nantes and travel there now quite regularly for work, yet I've never heard of the gâteau Nantais! Will have to look for it when I'm there next week.
PS. As a Bretonne d'adoption, I can't help but correct you - Nantes is no longer part of Brittany, no matter how much it wants to be!! ;)

@Ksam - :-) But they try, yes they try! Seems like our reunification (if you will) with Brittany is in the works. And there is a stand at Marché Talensac that sells Gâteau Nantais and Fondant Baulois. Rather expensive. I prefer making my own.

We've been enduring le canicule so I immediately connected to your story. It's wonderful that you've been able to establish such a history together there. The gateau is lovely. Since it's specific to the area, I'm going to give it a try. I love desserts that you don't often find in other places. And do tell- what is a "glass" of liquid? A cup?
- September 2, 2010 at 8:04 AM
- Jamie said...
@El - I think this cake is only found in Nantes. And a "glass" of liquid is like one serving of juice or white wine. I measure about 2/3 a white wine glass though you'll see what I put in the fouace recipe.

Donald Cerrone Needs a Fight ASAP Because He's Broke
He should probably slow down on his purchases of ATVs, speedboats, and firearms. Good luck, Cowboy.
One of the things we haven't heard a whole lot about with the current generation of big name UFC fighters is problems with handling their money. Donald Cerrone is making it known that he is running through his cash as fast as he earns it.
Fighters and money problems are practically synonymous. As long as there have been people willing to pay big money to watch men beat each other up, there have been men willing to take that money and spend it as frivolously and quickly as possible. It's strange then that it's not a more common refrain from current UFC stars. Partially this is because most of them don't earn enough money to really and truly blow it on anything, partially it's a difference in culture in which many fighters have been through college or had some level of higher education along with their martial arts training, rather than coming from some of the worlds poorest slums. Whatever the reasons, it's yet to become a major talking point for the current generation of UFC fighters... at least until now.
Donald Cerrone recently gave an interview to Examiner.com in which he talked about his money woes in the finest tradition of pugilistic financial planning:
Well, at least it sounds like he knows he's his own worst enemy, but it's hard to think he has any designs on changing. Financial mismanagement is one of the most difficult things for an athlete to overcome. The expectation that there will always be another payday around the corner and that people will always be willing to shell out for your services often lead to a bankrupting shortsightedness. it's especially notable, here, since Cerrone also talked about his recent struggles to "get his hunger back," and that he was considering retiring before taking the fight against Evan Dunham at UFC 167. Cerrone may still have some tread left on the tires, but an athletic career can end at any moment and if he's not prepared for that end he could find himself facing a long road back to financial stability."What really happened is I spent all my money, so I'm broke, and I only have one choice but to fight," said Cerrone in an exclusive interview with Examiner.com as a guest on Majority Draw Radio.
"I text Joe [Silva] after my last fight and said, I want a fight ASAP.' He said, How does January 25th sound?' I said, Great!'
"I'm just out of control," explained Cerrone. "It's hard to have money in the bank, want something, and not get it. I just [expletive] buy it. I have no idea what saving money is."
"I'm coming hard. I'm back. I'm ready to make that [expletive] title run. I don't know where I went. What happened was that I got real comfortable financially and kind of let off everything. I lost my fire.
Be sure to check out the rest of the interview as he talks a lot about his loss of motivation and his preparations for Adriano Martins at UFC on Fox 10 on January 25th.

Matatabi (又旅, Matatabi), more commonly known as the Two-Tails (ニ尾, Nibi), is one of the nine tailed beasts. It was last sealed within Yugito Nii of Kumogakure.
Matatabi and the tailed beasts first came into being in the waning days of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who used his Creation of All Things ability to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine separate bodies and giving each a name. Some time after being created, the Sage explained to the young tailed beasts that a link existed between them despite their separation. He also foretold of a day when they would be brought together again - though not as they were - and that at that time someone would emerge to show them what true power is.[4][5] After Hagoromo's death, the tailed beasts drifted apart, apparently due to Kurama's belief that their number of tails was an indication of their strength.[6] Like Shukaku, many people believed that Matatabi was once a human that turned into a living ghost (生霊, ikiryō).[1]
Matatabi eventually fell into the possession of Kumogakure and was sealed within Yugito Nii when she was two years old. She was placed into a detestable training program in order to learn to control Matatabi's power.[7] In the anime, Yugito agreed to have Nekobaa collect Matatabi's paw print for the Paw Encyclopaedia.[8] In a cavern behind the Falls of Truth, where jinchūriki learn to control their tailed beasts' power, there are wall murals of Matatabi and Gyūki, which indicates how long they were associated with the Land of Lightning.[9][10]
Compared to most of the tailed beasts, Matatabi has shown to be respectful and polite towards others, speaking in a formal manner using "watashi" (私) when referring to itself and using honourifics when addressing Naruto while introducing itself to the young shinobi.
Matatabi is a bakeneko that is completely engulfed in blue flames. It also has a right yellow eye and a left green eye, similar to an odd-eyed cat without pupils. When forced to transform by Tobi, Matatabi increased in size compared to when Yugito unleashed it.[11] During the last remaining days of the Sage of the Six Paths' life, Matatabi was a young flaming kitten much smaller than its present-day self, but was still much larger than the Sage.[5]
See also: Jinchūriki Forms
As a tailed beast, Matatabi possesses an enormous supply of chakra that it can transfer to others and can create the Tailed Beast Ball. Like its appearance suggest, Matatabi can use Fire Release, which it can lend to its jinchūriki.[12] Matatabi also has flexible muscles, which grant it great speed despite its large size.[1] With its paws, Matatabi could crush an opponent with its raw strength as well as sending a foe flying with one swipe of its claw.[13] When combined with the other tailed beasts' tails, it could shatter and completely obliterate a senjutsu-enhanced complete Susanoo.[14]
Part II
Akatsuki Suppression Mission
Soon after her introduction, Yugito was captured by two Akatsuki members, Hidan and Kakuzu, although it is unknown who was specifically assigned to capture her. Despite luring her two pursuers into a closed space, sealing the exits, and transforming herself into the Two-Tails, Yugito was overpowered and rendered unconscious by the two Akatsuki members. Zetsu later arrived to take her off their hands. After three days of the Akatsuki extracting the Two-Tails into the statue from Yugito and getting sealed, its jinchūriki died afterwards as a result of having her tailed beast extracted.
Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax
After Son Gokū is resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Tobi, who is intent on going all-out from this point on, forces Yugito to fully transform into the Two-Tails.[15] Preparing to attack the shinobi, Matatabi along with the other four beasts creates Tailed Beast Balls. These attacks, however, are deflected by Naruto and they are rebuffed by a now fully-transformed Naruto. Wasting no time in their attacks, Matatabi attempts to attack while Kurama is incapacitated by Saiken, but instead has Saiken slammed into it with such force that it is sent flying. With this, the opposing beasts prepare a collaborative Tailed Beast Ball which is met by one from Naruto and Kurama.
As Naruto enters a deeper level of Kurama's consciousness, he meets the remaining five tailed beasts and their jinchūriki. Summoning Naruto before it, it tells the young man that it intended to keep the promise it made to Son Gokū. As it tells Naruto to stretch out his hand, the giant cat introduces itself. Later, as the beast is freed from the chakra receiver, it affirms Kurama's belief that Naruto was the person the Sage of the Six Paths had spoken about so long ago before being resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Birth of the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki
Matatabi appeared alongside the other tailed beasts with the exception of Gyūki and Shukaku when the Ten-Tails looked down at Naruto. The image of the tailed beasts, along with a silhouette of the Sage of the Six Paths, drove the Ten-Tails to a fit as it evolved further. Later, Naruto, with the help of the remaining Allied Shinobi Forces, manages to free Matatabi by pulling its chakra out of Obito's body, alongside that of the other tailed beasts.
When B explained his tardiness being due to moving others to safety, Matatabi assured him that they'd end Madara. As Naruto in Tailed Beast Mode pinned Madara down with a tail, Matatabi and the other tailed beasts joined in and did the same to increase the damage, but the Uchiha survived their attacks and retreated to a safe distance. After he received his own right Rinnegan eye from a White Zetsu clone, Madara quickly summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from Obito's body, and used the Rinnegan to repel the tailed beasts. With the tailed beasts stunned, Madara then proceeded to chain them up and prepared to seal them back into the statue. Ultimately, Matatabi, along with the other tailed beasts, are all resealed within the Demonic Statue.
Later, the chakra Matatabi transferred to Naruto earlier manifested within Naruto's subconscious along with the other tailed beasts to speak with the young ninja and the spirit of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. There, they voiced their shared belief that Naruto is the child of prophecy.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Strikes
When Naruto asked for help against Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Matatabi willingly gave him its power in order to defeat her. Ultimately, Kaguya was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha and sealed using the Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei technique. The beasts are all ejected from the statue and then they were all summoned back to the real world by Hagoromo and the previous Kage. After the past Kage return to the after life, the tailed beasts began discussing their plans for the future now that they were finally free. Sasuke however made his plans known. Desiring to kill the current Kage and seize control of the tailed beasts for his plans of revolution in the shinobi world, he quickly accomplished the latter with his Rinnegan. With the tailed beasts subdued by his genjutsu, Sasuke then sealed them away within his Chibaku Tensei. After the battle when Sasuke declared Naruto the victor, the two dispelled the Infinite Tsukuyomi and Sasuke released Matatabi along with the other tailed beasts from their prisons.
In Other Media
Video Games
Although Matatabi itself is not playable, Yugito takes on its form as her awakening in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 and Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution. Matatabi also appears as a boss in Naruto Shippūden: Ninja Destiny 3 and Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive, though in the latter, only the false copy of Matatabi appears.
- 'Matatabi' (又旅) literally means 'travel again', which is probably an adaptation to not only the nekomata (猫又), but also the Japanese name for silver vine, a plant noted for having an effect on cats much like that of catnip.
- A bakeneko (化け猫, monster cat) is a popular animal yōkai in Japanese folklore, and is known for its abilities to speak the human language and shape-shift. It was also believed that when a bakeneko reaches a certain age, it grows larger and its tail splits in two, becoming a nekomata (猫又, forked-cat). These yōkai were said to have gained the powers of necromancy, and had been associated with strange fires and other unexplainable occurrences. This may be related to Matatabi's nickname and its fire-breathing abilities.

The Canadian Firearms Program combats the illicit movement of firearms and provides support and training to police and the criminal justice system. It also manages universal licensing of firearms users, a system which supports individual use of firearms for hunting and various recreational purposes. And the CFP maintains national firearms safety training standards: over 1 million Canadians have now completed the CFP's Canadian Firearms Safety Course. All information is recorded for public safety purposes in the Canadian Firearms Information System (CFIS), which is managed by the RCMP.
The CFP has developed a new and more robust performance and statistical information package. The new "Performance Information" is posted quarterly, and provides new information as well as historical data which shows the CFP's evolution and contribution to public safety.
While the vast majority of firearm owners are responsible and comply with the law, over 22,000 firearms licences have been refused or revoked by the CFP for public safety reasons. Most revocations are due to court orders following a conviction.
If a police officer gets a call that may involve firearms, the CFP is there to help. The Canadian Firearms Registry Online (CFRO) contains information on all firearms licence holders as well as registered firearms. CFRO is a check that officers can use prior to attending a call, and is currently being accessed more than 14,000 times a day.
Continuous eligibility screening — If a licensed individual is the subject of a police report involving violence that is recorded on the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), an interface between CPIC and the CFP database ensures that a report is automatically sent to the Chief Firearms Officer of their province or territory for further review and investigation.
Enhanced screening is an initiative under which trained CFP staff speak directly with a firearms licence applicant and their references to gain more comprehensive knowledge about the applicant.
A national program — Decisions regarding firearms licences apply everywhere in Canada, eliminating public safety gaps.

Grefe: Local government must commit revenue to Housing FundWritten by Hugh Grefe | | firstname.lastname@example.com
More than 20 years ago, civic leaders in Toledo and Lucas County decided that our community should join more than 700 cities, counties and states in creating a locally controlled and funded resource devoted exclusively to advancing the quality, accessibility and affordability of local housing. They recognized that our community's housing priorities could not be served by relying solely on state and federal resources.
The Housing Fund is a freestanding nonprofit organization modeled after housing funds across the nation. The Fund channels local financial resources into local housing programs and projects. Having local funds dedicated to housing means that our community is able to address program and project financing gaps not covered by external resources. These local funds assure that housing projects and programs can also serve people slightly above the income restrictions associated with federal and state dollars granted to the City.
The Housing Fund helps create sustainable housing developments and neighborhoods by assuring that more of the "working poor" can participate. In doing so, it allows our community to overcome the limitations of the "one size fits all" nature of state and federal funds.
The Housing Fund board includes representatives from private and public organizations concerned with housing: The Toledo Board of Realtors, the City of Toledo, Lucas County, Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority, the Toledo Home Builders Association, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, the Toledo Fair Housing Center, Toledo Area Ministries, the Greater Toledo Housing Coalition, the Ability Center of Greater Toledo, Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commissions, NHA/Mildred Bayer Homeless Clinic, Fifth Third Bank, the Toledo CDC Alliance and AFSCME Ohio Local 8.
To achieve the purpose of housing funds, local government must commit a dedicated revenue stream to its local fund. Although there are many options for how that can be done, it must be reliable and dedicated in order to place the local housing fund on a sound footing. Typically, local governments dedicate a portion of a fee, such as the hotel-motel tax or the real estate conveyance fee to support local housing funds.
At issue now is an obligation of the City of Toledo to provide funds resulting from its use of a $3 million Urban Development Action Grant to build the Superior Garage in Downtown. The legislation in effect resulted from negotiations between the City and the Greater Toledo Housing Coalition; the Housing Fund serves as the fund recipient and program manager to oversee the use of the committed funds.
The Housing Fund works in tandem with other resources to help people in neighborhoods csuffering from blight, vacant lots or homes, and other effects of disinvestment and declining property values. In doing so, the Fund seeks to increase property values, neighborhood stability, and local tax revenue. Housing developers — including private and nonprofits — along with organizations providing housing related services such as foreclosure prevention counseling are invited to submit proposals the Housing Fund. Through this competitive process, the Board seeks the strongest and most effective proposals.
In 2009, the Housing Fund approved grants to the Ability Center to help 25 households improve home access; to United North to assist 25 households with emergency repairs, to the North West Ohio Development Agency and Neighborhood Housing Services to assist in preventing tax foreclosure; and to Toledo Community Development Corporation and Friendship New Vision to help 25 current homeowners with needed repairs. In 2008, the Housing Fund assisted Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity in constructing five new homes and it supported the Toledo Fair Housing Center's assistance of 10 households to through the Restoring the Dream Predatory Lending Remediation Program. The Fund also made a loan to support the Dorr Street Brownstone development.
Although resources available to the Housing Fund remain modest in comparison to the challenges facing housing in the greater Toledo area, the Fund Board is committed to working with local government to ensure that we have the strongest possible local housing program.
The Housing Fund Board agrees strongly with the Toledo Board of Realtors President Mary Ann Coleman, who wrote the following to members of City Council:
"It is with great concern for citizens in need that I write and urge you to ask Mayor Michael Bell to reconsider his recent decision to discontinue funding the Toledo-Lucas County Housing Trust. Now is the worst time to stop funding any organization that has a good track record of making a difference in Toledo housing. If we do not continue to work on housing issues, nothing else will matter. No one will want to live in Toledo."
