Have you ever been thinking about that? People asume that Obito got his MS activated when the stone hit him because of a near death experience.
But why didnt get Kakashi his MS? These are the same eyes... technically they should of both get MS.
I think Rin´s death caused the activation of the MS. But you know when that happend? Sometime while Naruto was training with Jirajya (from Naruto to Naruto Shippuuden). I asume Obito didn´t have his MS until then. Does that mean his S/T is a normal sharingan technique?
I really cant believe it´s a MS technique. Obito has been using his MS tooooooo often, he would of gone blind... :sy:
That´s just a theory from me. Dont hate me

Cold and Development Servers
The optional Cold Server and Development Server licenses are available for those organizations that want a full installation of their CONTENTdm instance available on stand by or those that want a complete development environment. Though not needed for most organizations, these options are available and can provide extra security and flexibility.
Cold Server license
In the event of a primary server failure, the Cold Server license allows your CONTENTdm license to be run on a backup server until the primary server is up and running again. The main reason to have a Cold Server is if you want a full installation of your CONTENTdm instance—configuration, software and collection data—standing by for immediate switchover in the event of a catastrophic server failure of your primary production site.
Alternatively, many organizations simply use standard Web site backup techniques, often already in place at their organization, to back up the data on their CONTENTdm instances in case of emergency. Since CONTENTdm runs on a standard Web server, standard backup workflows that you use for your other Web sites also would work for CONTENTdm.
Development Server license
A Development Server license enables you to run the CONTENTdm license on a server solely for the purposes of creating and testing new CONTENTdm collections, interfaces and Web site functionality. The Development Server is provided as an option for those organizations that want a complete development environment.
Organizations not using the Development Server often take advantage of several features in CONTENTdm to hide in-process collections and Web template customizations from the public.

They've bemoaned it at the saddlery shop in downtown Middleburg, Va. They've talked about it at the tack place across the street. Loyal readers of The Chronicle of the Horse have even grilled one of the magazine's reporters about her publication's future while she was on a morning trail ride.
In horse-crazy Middleburg, people are still stirred up about last month's sale of the 76-year-old Chronicle, the nation's preeminent news source for all things equine. The Middleburg-based magazine, owned for much of its life by the local Ohrstrom family, is now in the hands of Mark Bellissimo, the majority owner of the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Fla., the world's largest horse show circuit.
Now, the magazine's devotees worry, Bellissimo might use their horse bible - billed on its Facebook page as "The Wall Street Journal of Horse Sports . . . but better!" - as a promotional vehicle for his annual 12-week Florida horse show circuit, an accusation that the new owner strongly denies.
In an interview, Bellissimo vowed that he will never meddle with the editorial mission of the Chronicle, which covers horse sports around the world and in recent years has written about illegal horse injections and horse slaughter. Bellissimo, whose company, Wellington Equestrian Partners, owns and operates more than $250 million worth of assets, said he wouldn't halt the Chronicle from digging into his own business.
"I don't think we've ever done anything to elicit an investigation, but do I believe there's a circumstance where I might make a decision that catches some attention? Absolutely," Bellissimo said. "There's going to be a circumstance where [the Chronicle] is going to call it like they see it."
Since Bellissimo, 51, purchased the Chronicle in mid-July, readers have been venting in the magazine's online forum, a kind of country club for mannered and fanatical horse enthusiasts. To even register as a commenter, one must answer trivia questions like: "If Mr. Ed was an off-the-track Thoroughbred, we might have seen one of these when he was flapping his lips with Wilbur." (Answer: Tattoo.) Or: "If the farrier shoes three geldings in front and trims four more, how many shoes does the farrier need?" (Answer: Six.)
Under the comment thread headlined, "Bellissimo has bought COTH!" one person likened the Chronicle's sale to the Wall Street Journal's in 2007: "This is starting to feel a little Rupert Murdoch-ish . . . ewwwwww."
When one of the Chronicle's nearly 20 employees posted a link to the magazine editor's op-ed - headlined, "New Owner, New Future, Same Product" - one reader unleashed a verbal horse whip: "In all deference to the editorial content of the link you posted: Sounds like a lot of PR spin to me."
Bellissimo braved the forum himself, promising readers that the editors will have "free rein" in the stories they pursue, even if they're about his Florida horse show. Since Bellissimo bought the Winter Equestrian Festival in 2006, the show has grown from a laid-back affair with $2 million in prize money to a carnival-like event boasting $7.5 million in awards. It now features not just horses, but fire eaters, magicians and a carousel, all to lure in people who may not know the difference between a gelding and a stallion.
A lengthy Boston magazine story in April chronicled a long-running feud in Florida between Bellissimo and Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs, who owns a 200-acre estate near the horse show. Over the years, the Jacobs family has unsuccessfully fought Bellissimo in court and through the town council over the show's rapid expansion.
When Bellissimo heard the Chronicle was for sale, he was intrigued, he said. He thinks the magazine would complement his other equine business, and vice versa.
Clarke Ohrstrom, his family's third generation to lead the Chronicle, said in an interview that he and his siblings no longer wanted to prop up a money-losing publication, which had lost advertisers and classified ads to online competitors. The Chronicle, which comes out 40 times a year, has seen its print circulation fall to a little less than 13,000, down from 26,000 in the late 1990s. (Some of the same pressures have prompted the sale of The Washington Post to Amazon billionaire Jeffrey P. Bezos by its longtime owners, the Graham family.).
The Ohrstroms, who amassed a fortune through ventures as varied as fruit-pitting machines and aluminum horseshoes, are sentimental figures in Virginia's hunt country, admired for their philanthropy, money and, in keeping with local values, being low-key about their money.
"We're running these disparate businesses and recognizing that with the evolution of the media industry that the Chronicle might be better off under someone else's ownership, particularly someone who has other businesses related to the horse show industry," Ohrstrom said.
His grandfather, George L. Ohrstrom Sr., purchased the Chronicle from two local horse enthusiasts in 1952. (The New York investor also founded what is now called the National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg in 1954.)
George L. Ohrstrom Jr. became chief executive of his father's investment house. A classmate of George H.W. Bush's while growing up in Connecticut, Ohrstrom Jr. later invested in George W. Bush's Texas oil business.
He nearly made his family a household Washington name in the 1960s when he tried and failed to buy the Washington Redskins. In the 1970s, he helped found the Piedmont Environmental Council, the nonprofit well-known for its battle in the 1990s to stop Walt Disney Co. from building a theme park in Prince William County, Va.
His son, Clarke Ohrstrom, inherited the Chronicle's reins and runs his family business out of their 1,700-acre Fauquier County, Va., farm, which shares a driveway with his neighbor, actor Robert Duvall. There, the Ohrstroms raise beef that winds up at Whole Foods and train steeplechase horses.
Clarke Ohrstrom began looking to offload the magazine last year. Neither he nor Bellissimo would disclose the purchase price. The deal closed on July 12, prompting the magazine to publish not one, but two essays by editors reassuring readers that there would be no drop in journalistic standards.
Bellissimo wants to focus on making the magazine profitable, luring advertisers that already sponsor his Florida horse show and others, too; promoting the print edition more; and revamping the Web site, which is expected to reach 4 million annual unique visitors by the end of 2013. He also wants to live-stream horse show events, including his own, on the magazine's Web site.
Punkin Lee, who owns Journey Saddlers, said many people around Middleburg are mourning the loss of the Chronicle's local ownership. "It's the idea that the magazine was something everyone around the world read, and it came from here, and everyone who worked there lived here, and the people who owned it lived here," said Lee, whose mother was the magazine's first managing editor.
That sense of melancholy doesn't extend to the Chronicle's newsroom, which is buzzing with optimism.
Earlier this month, Bellissimo flew in for his first company-wide meeting since he took ownership. He was joined by Chronicle correspondents from Chicago, Knoxville, Tenn., and Richmond, and the ad sales director from New Hampshire. The staff brainstormed business ideas and talked about the magazine's values.
No one brought up story ideas in front of the boss or concerns about a conflict of interest, said Beth Rasin, the Chronicle's editor and president.
"That issue," she said, "is already behind us."

Horse-obsessed town in Virginia bristles as an outsider buys a beloved magazine

Very Hopefull
By Fivek friend
from Decatur, IL
I have an 18 year old finicky eater female cat that has kidney disease. I have been looking for some natural supplements to help her and found this one the best she loves the smell of these. I just crush it up and she eats every crumb. I just started her on them today but I'm so relieved that she will eat them. I have tried several other options but she refuses to eat those.
Our cat thinks they're treats
By J.B.
from philadelphia pa
Well, it's only been a few weeks so I can't tell how effective these are for our male senior cat who suffers from kidney failure, but I can say that he eats them up like treats, so at the very least they're like "Temptations", only they happen to be for kidney support.

Kidney support, my cat loves it!
By Nor
from Lempster, NH
My 5 year old cat recently had bladder issues with crystals found in his urine. The past couple years I had changed his diet to dehydrated raw food mixed with canned food with supplements. I thought I was doing everything right & couldn't understand why he got this! After the medicine from the vet his symptoms would return, I gave him 2 caps daily & it seems to work, the bonus is that he loves it and steels the whole vitamin from me before I get to mash it up to put in his food! (I am now also only feeding him grain free food, I don't like the stuff that the vet recommends!)
Cat refused to eat this
By Gin
from Long Hill Township,NJ
Lily refused to eat this,even when I smashed it up & mixed it in her canned food...Why don't you make this formulation in a liquid form?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Have you tried putting it in something stinky but yummy, like tuna water or cream cheese? We have given your feedback to the product development team, so perhaps in the future we may offer more liquids for cats products.
great supplemental help.
By dl
from indiana
Coupled with much prayer, I have began using the product along with a probiotic digestive in my cats daily food to help support good kidney health. After having lost several to kidney failure and having an older one going through kidney problems I began using combinations to add to all their food to help in their daily needs.
Try it!
By Wendy
from Georgia
Decided to try this product after being told by our vet that "this just happens as a dog gets older"....It seems like her kidneys are working better, she's not over-drinking water now as much and doesn't seem so "desperate" around our previous going out to pee schedule. She seems more lively and playful. I can only assume this is the reason, because she isn't getting any younger! I'd recommend someone see their vet first.

Kidney support
By Christine

dogs don't know how to swallow pills so I break it into 2 pc. and mix it with food. I have seen a tremendous change in my dog. His urine is no longer dark in color and is going out normally. above all he stopped itching which I thought at the beginning it has to do with flea/tick. but the kidney support along with liver supplement cured my dog. I'm also watching his diet
Great Maintenance Item
By Cherokee1Woman
from Albuquerque, New Mexico
My cat has had a history of urinary tract infections and this product is a fantastic way to maintain his kidneys and urinary tract. All I do is crumble the required dosaged on and mix it in his dry food and he thinks it is a treat. There is no need to stuff these pills down your pet's throat. Even if your pet has not had a history of UTIs it is an important way to tonify their system and prevent them. It is very mild. Be Well.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 12
After almost two years of playing hit my first one at Blue Angle Park, Pensacola FL. Hole 3 on the Oaks course.
It was a somewhat blind hole around 200ft, decided to throw a pro katana as hard as I can. Some how it slammed the basket with no chains and stuck. Sad thing is nobody knew I aced until we walked around the corner. Got it with 2 holes to go in a two round tourney. Worth $75 on ace pot money.
Not to be a total bastard but I'm getting pretty tired of...
"I've been playing 45 minutes and I finally got my first ace today"
"I've been playing a year now and have 25 aces"
My first ace came just last month after 25 years and thousands holes played. I have hit chains a lot but they never seemed to stick.
Very cool, almost cold rainy Augusta GA morning at Pendleton King Park in the fall of 1993. The old layout, #4 came from the street across an open area to the basket some 260 or so feet away. Pulled a yellow 164g Discraft Tracer (wind at my back) and ripped one a little over eye level with a bit of right to left... nothing but chains. I was alone and was positive I could never confirm it without a witness. Two holes later, from across the street, came a shout... "NICE ACE!"... it was a fellow club (Augusta Disc Golf Club) member who had witnessed my Ace from the top of the hill. It made the club newsetter the next month, confirmed... Will never forget it.
May 11th, 2006 Hole 12 on the Red Course at Lemon Lake. I flicked a two time Barry Schultz Beast with hyzer, it went left of the two trees in the middle of the fairway, then faded straight into the basket. I was alone, of course, and in the middle of an otherwise lousy round. Later, I lent the disc to a friend and he threw it into the middle of the lake, oh well...
(spelling police...it's their, not there)
2007, first year playing, skip ace on #15 at Oxbow in Dunlap, IN. One witness.
I remember mine about 4 years ago on a short 180' par 3 using a "Lightning # 2-Flyer. I just got my second ace about a month ago on a 256' par 3 using an "Innova Kite". What a fantastic feeling.
Congratulations on your first ace, and hope you have many more aces to come.

What has been overlooked by the Republican 'machine' and of course the MSM is how much he won by and who he edged out by a single vote. The Republican Party ignores this stifled message at its own peril IMHO.

Higher! Higher! by Leslie Patricelli
A little girl being pushed on a swing has just one request: Higher! Higher!
Her grown up pal happily complies, pushing the girl so high that she makes friends with a giraffe, some kids playing board games on the roof of an apartment building, a mountain climber, travelers on a plane, and many others.
Kids will delight in this fantastical story. And with only a handful of words in the entire book, many will be able to read it on their own! Or you can sharpen your child's vocabulary and narrative skills by having her tell you the story or describe what's happening in the pictures.
If Higher! Higher! isn't in and you can't stand the wait, check out some of Leslie Patricelli's other books. She's quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!

Windows 8 and Linux in dual-boot mode
Pair of Boots
Although getting Windows to play nice with an existing Linux installation is difficult, with a few tricks, you can set up Windows 8 to dual-boot with Linux.
In 1982, Microsoft MS-DOS 1.25 could confidently assume it would be the only system on the boot medium – after all, it booted from a floppy disk. Hard disks did not even enter into the equation until MS DOS 2.0, when the new IBM PC was released.
Thirty years after MS-DOS 1.25, Microsoft is still unwilling to accommodate co-tenants: Just like its predecessors, it dumps its boot sector onto the hard drive during installation, even if the disk already contains another boot loader.

Hi there, I have tried getting help from many places and I just dont know what to do. If you can help me with this problem I am about to explain that would be great, and if not then its okay. What I am having a problem with is the barrel on my Project salvo.
What I noticed is that the barrel (which is the stock barrel) is not aligning correctly, or it seems as so. Say you were looking down the gun from the rear, as if you were aiming at a can. The back portion of the gun, all of the body before the shroud and barrel, could be aligned with the can. However, the front portion and barrel is slightly to the right of the can.
I have tried opening the gun up and seeing if any parts were causing this problem, and could not locate anything which would cause such a problem. I have cancelled out the possibility of the shroud causing the problem, since I tested it without the shroud even being attached. So from this point of view, I figure I could either have a warped barrel, or possibly the threads inside the gun are not aligning the barrel completely straight into the body.
If I could get any help with this dilemma it would be greatly appreciated, because I just spent around 80 dollars on this gun yesterday and would like to be able to put all of the extras to use. Also, this gun is lightly used and I can count on one hand the number of games I have participated in with it, and am very careful with it, so I cant believe that the barrel or anything is warped from rugged use.
Thank you if you can help and I appreciate your time, Matt Wolfel

Founded in 1922, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is one of Canada's leading cultural institutions. Today, more than 225,000 patrons and over 50,000 students visit the Orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall each year, and an additional five million Canadians tune in to concert broadcasts on CBC Radio. Under the leadership of Music Director Peter Oundjian, who is currently celebrating his tenth anniversary season on the podium with the TSO, the Orchestra has expanded recording projects to include a self-produced record label, and increased touring throughout the US and Canada. The Orchestra continues to develop its international presence by being an active commissioning body for new Canadian and international works, as well as attracting distinguished guest artists and conductors to performances at Roy Thomson Hall. In August 2014, the Orchestra will embark on their first European tour since 2000.
The Orchestra was founded in 1922 by a group of Toronto musicians and Viennese-born conductor Luigi von Kunits. The New Symphony Orchestra, as it was then called, gave its first performance in April 1923 at Massey Hall. The name Toronto Symphony Orchestra was adopted four years later.
The Orchestra's second season in 1924/1925 included the first orchestra concert for children, pioneering a focus on efforts towards programming for young people. Today, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra serves the community with one of the largest educational programmes in Canada, connecting students throughout Ontario with curriculum-based outreach.
Following the death of Luigi von Kunits in 1931, Sir Ernest MacMillan was appointed Music Director and would become the Orchestra's longest-standing Music Director, presiding from 1931 until 1956. During MacMillan's 25 seasons on the podium, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra soared in stature and scope, introducing Toronto audiences to then-contemporary composers such as Holst, Sibelius, and Stravinsky, who conducted the Orchestra in performances of his own music in 1937.
The Toronto Symphony Orchestra developed an international presence through a history of touring to venues in the United States, Europe, and Asia, including a groundbreaking trip to China in 1978 as the first Canadian orchestra to be invited to enter China after the Cultural Revolution.
Under Music Director Sir Andrew Davis's leadership (who continues to serve the TSO as Conductor Laureate), the Orchestra moved from Massey Hall to Roy Thomson Hall in 1982. During the 2001/2002 season, Roy Thomson Hall underwent a successful sound makeover and the Roy Thomson Hall Acoustic Enhancement Project resulted in improved acoustics.
The TSO is committed to innovative programming and showcases a roster of distinguished guest artists and conductors. Throughout its history, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra has welcomed some of the greatest international artists, including Martha Argerich, Maxim Vengerov, Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Evgeny Kissin, Kathleen Battle, Jessye Norman, Karen Kain, Maureen Forrester, Lang Lang (in his first week-long residency program in North America), and actor Christopher Plummer.
Renowned composers Henri Dutilleux, R. Murray Schafer, Aaron Copland, Phillip Glass, John Adams, Tan Dun, Osvaldo Golijov, and the late Sir Michael Tippett, among many others, have been in attendance for the Orchestra's presentations of their music. In 2004, under the leadership of TSO Music Director Peter Oundjian, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra began an annual celebration of new music, showcasing new and premièring commissioned works. Now an audience favourite, the New Creations Festival celebrates the best in contemporary orchestral music and attracts celebrated contemporary composers.

Summary of A Grain of Wheat Summary of A Grain of Wheat Reviews for A Grain of Wheat An Excerpt from A Grain of Wheat
The best-known novel by the great Kenyan writer
Set in the wake of the Mau Mau rebellion and on the cusp of Kenya's independence from Britain, A Grain of Wheat follows a group of villagers whose lives have been transformed by the 1952–1960 Emergency. At the center of it all is the reticent Mugo, the village's chosen hero and a man haunted by a terrible secret. As we learn of the villagers' tangled histories in a narrative interwoven with myth and peppered with allusions to real-life leaders, including Jomo Kenyatta, a masterly story unfolds in which compromises are forced, friendships are betrayed, and loves are tested.

1656 Alton Rd, Miami, FL | Directions 3313925.790846 -80.141599
Neighborhoods: West Avenue
Highest priced market on South Beach, mediocre quality, many stale or expired items. – The prices are so high that even the rich are avoiding this market like the plague. I have watched in the last year prices rise over 200% on items across the board. It is clear that Epicure is trying to fix their loss of customers by raising prices on the ones that still shop there. A lose-lose proposition from a business standpoint. Every customer has their breaking point and Epicure is testing all of ours.
BAKERY - If you like 3-5 day old pastries and cakes come on in and drop down $4.50 for a soggy napolean or a mushy canoli
PRODUCE - You might as well just go to Publix because half of the produce items at Epicure are EXACTLY the same and are 300% more in price. A large Sunkist naval orange at Epicure costs $1.99 @ Publix you can get 4 for $2.00
DELI - If you enjoy dry and rubbery shrimp try Epicure's golden dipt shrimp. They will only set you back $3.50 per shrimp.
MEAT - You can get a very mediocre NY strip steak for $37.95 per pound. You might try kansas city steaks delivered to your door for less.
EXPIRATION DATES - Q: Why doesn't Epicure use expiration dates? A: So you don't really know how old something is.
On their soups and cooked food items they use a very rudimentary code... basically if you read from left to right it goes.. WEEK DAY YEAR so this week monday would be 9th week 2nd day 08year.
With all of the options today, nobody should be paying these highly inflated prices for such mediocre products.
Unimpressed and Underwhelmed – I agree with the other reviewers that this place is overpriced. I would also like to make an alternative suggestion. Try Daily Bread in Pinecrest. They have a store with fresh herbs and spices, sweets, cookbooks, interesting antique looking things like hoookahs and a restaurant where they serve Syrian, Lebanese, Greek, Turkish, Israeli and other great cuisine for cheap. They are very knowledgeable about the things they sell.
Incredibly overpriced – This store is beautiful, I have to admit I was very impressed when I walked in the door. And the packaging is lovely. But unless you plan to eat the packaging rather than the contents, I highly suggest you check out one of the grocery stores listed below. Very few things here are unique, and they can be found at MUCH better prices at 'ethnic' grocers around town. For example- $6 for a tiny can of tabbouleh? $7 for garam masala? Are you kidding me? And the employees are very nice but with the exception of the meat section they don't know what the products are. For the cost of one ingredient of a dish you might eat the entire meal at a restaurant. Why not try:
PUBLIX- yes they have tabbouleh and garam masala!!
DHAKA BAZAAR or SONALI BANGLA in north miami beach- indian pakistan and bengali food. The owners are happy to assist you and tell you how to use a product.
What Zabar's is to New York, this gourmet market is to South Florida. – In Short
Founded by the Thal brothers (Leonard and Edward) in the 1940s, Epicure has catered to presidents and celebs alike. Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Paul Newman, Oprah Winfrey--you name it, they've all visited here. The deli is fantastic, stocked with items like stone crab claws, shrimp and Cornish game hens. The two-handed corned beef sandwiches are among the best in the region. There are also gourmet candies, produce, cheeses, seasonings and wines.
Gift Baskets Unavailable – I, too, am from out of town and tried calling to place an order for a gift basket. I was told that the store does not take orders over the phone and that I would need to come into the store if I wanted to buy a basket. I was very disappointed.
Gifts Giving Goodies – Called from out of town for 3 large holiday gift baskets. The service was great - the gifts were beautiful. Thanks!

Alternative energy in India
Despite the growth of India's manufacturing and services sectors, agriculture still makes up 20% of the economy and supports 75% of the population.
During the expansion of its Rochees Brewery, our Indian business took the opportunity to install its first solid fire boiler, rather than the more typical option of heavy fuel oil or methane. The aim was to reduce thermal energy demand by 42%.
It also allowed the company to move to a renewable, more environmentally friendly source of energy – rice husks. This is expected to save some 4,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year and also to provide local farmers with an income for their agricultural waste.
The project has been a success – the business is well on track to meeting and then beating its energy consumption target. It intends to use the same technology in a new plant in Haryana and the expansion of a brewery in Charminar.
Our priorities: Energy & Carbon

Intervention in India
Our HIV/Aids work has traditionally focused on African countries with high prevalence rates. In 2007, however, we focused increasingly on other countries with potential emerging epidemics.
Although India has a low prevalence of HIV/Aids as a percentage of its population, as many as three million people are affected. Using our experience and expertise from Africa, we have trained 20 'master trainers' who in turn have passed on their knowledge to 150 peer educators within our workforce.
Supported by a range of media, these people have ensured that key messages about HIV/Aids are communicated to colleagues accurately and effectively. To maximise the impact and ensure greater acceptance of those affected, we have invited people living with the disease into the workplace to share their experience.

La. Gov. Supports Abortion Ban
With Many Basic Needs Still Unmet, Louisiana Governor Focuses on Criminalizing Abortion; Bill Is Ultimate Illustration of Misplaced Priorities
WASHINGTON, DC Planned Parenthood Federation of America today denounced Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco for her willingness to jeopardize the health and safety of women by criminalizing abortion. In an interview with the Associated Press on Thursday, Gov. Blanco said that she would sign a ban on abortion that is currently pending in the Senate. With Louisianans continuing to face many unmet needs a year after Hurricane Katrina and at the start of the new hurricane season, the legislature's focus on restricting abortion access is the ultimate illustration of misplaced priorities.
"Elected officials should stop playing politics with women's safety and start paying attention to the needs of this state. We need homes, good education, and sound health care policy. We need to rebuild after Katrina and Rita", said Julie Mickelberry, director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta. "We don't need laws that threaten women's health."
An amended version of Senate bill 33 passed the House floor by a vote of 85-17 and is expected to return to the Senate early next week for approval before going to Gov. Kathleen Blanco for signature. The ban, which provides only a life exception, would go into effect if the U.S. Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade and the current Medicaid law changed.
Across the country, extreme politicians are attempting to put roadblocks between women and reproductive health care. Following South Dakota's abortion ban, 11 other states introduced legislation this year aimed at criminalizing abortion. To stem the tide of legislation attacking women and families across the country, Planned Parenthood Federation of America has launched the Stand with the StatesSM Campaign. The campaign works to give families access to the health care and medically accurate sex education they need to prevent unintended pregnancy.

Bob Baker Marionette Theater Celebrates 53rd Season with SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT Today
The Bob Baker Marionette Theater celebrates its 53rd season with an open-ended run of the perennial puppet favorite "Something To Crow About" beginning performances today, February 2, 2013.
Come join Mama and Papa Goat and 100 more of the world famous Bob Baker Marionettes for a musical "Day on The Farm" you will never forget. Everything from dancing scarecrows to tap dancing bullfrogs warbling "Shine On Harvest Moon", "Something To Crow About" is guaranteed to put a smile on children of all ages!
The production, which first opened at the Laguna Arts Festival 60 years ago, utilizes recordings from the familiar to the truly eclectic, and features puppet representations of every animal on The Farm (along with dancing fireflies and even waltzing laundry!) This was the first production to utilize Bob Baker's now famous "in the round' style of puppetry.
"Something To Crow About" is an hour-long production. After the performance, guests are invited to visit with the Puppeteers and have refreshments in the famous Party Room.
The Bob Baker Marionette Theater in downtown Los Angeles is the oldest of its kind in the United States and has been entertaining children of all ages since its inception in 1960. At that time, Bob Baker and his business partner Alton Wood turned a scene shop in Los Angeles into the family entertainment landmark that it is today.
The theater has an inventory of nearly three thousand puppets with just about everything from robots that light up, to dancing frogs, to egg laying chickens. Baker's marionettes have entertained nearly seven hundred thousand people since the theater's opening.
Jennifer Steinhauer of The New York Times has described Baker's shows as "a staple of a Los Angeleno childhood. It is the cultural equivalent of the annual march by the nation's third graders to the neighborhood firehouse." On June 3, 2009, The Bob Baker Marionette Theater was declared an historic cultural monument by the city of Los Angeles.
Bob Baker first became interested in puppetry at the age of five, and has since become an innovator, artist, puppet master, and top-notch animator with credits in television and film.
His marionettes have entertained thousands of children and adults worldwide over the years. Mr. Baker has a current inventory of over three thousand puppets, with just about everything from robots that light up, to dancing frogs, to egg laying chickens.
Bob began to learn the magic of puppetry at the early age of eight. He trained with several different local companies and put his skills to work with his first professional performance for director Mervyn LeRoy. After graduating from Hollywood High School, he began his extensive career in animation at the George Pal Studios. He began as an apprentice and soon became a top animator of "Puppetoons" a year later.
After WWII, Bob began manufacturing toy marionettes that sold both in Europe and the United States. Fifty of the finest department stores in the country carried his line including Bullocks Wilshire, Saks Fifth Avenue, Niemen Marcus, FAO Schwarz, and Marshall Fields.
Bob also served as an animation advisor at many film studios including Walt Disney. As a puppeteer his prestigious credits include the films: "A Star Is Born", "G.I. Blues," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Escape to Witch Mountain," and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", as well as work on countless television series and projects. Baker has performed with the likes of Judy Garland, Elvis Presley, and Angela Lansbury.
Aside from running the theater, Baker maintains an active role in the company's traveling shows. Bob has taken his marionettes to countless fairs, puppet festivals, and of course, birthday parties. The Bob Baker Marionettes have entertained audiences in Las Vegas, Toronto, New York, Germany, and have even performed on Navy ships and submarines.
Mr. Baker is the former president of the Los Angeles Puppet Guild and Governor of the Television Arts & Sciences Animation Branch and currently sits on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Bob's dream of establishing a school began with the formation of the Academy of Puppetry and Allied Arts, a non-profit organization. The Academy's mission is to educate the public about puppet arts and to encourage and foster puppetry presentations. The Academy of Puppetry provides funding to subsidize tickets for students from local area schools to attend performances at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater and distributes literacy and language development resources that bring the experiences at the Theater back to the classrooms.

April 24, 2014
December 27, 2012
The wintry mix of weather caused a lot of traffic accidents on Wednesday, and now car mechanics are busy today.
A Charlottesville family business, Bragg's Body Shop, says eight cars are in because of the slippery roads yesterday.
That's more than double what they usually see.
Owner Wayne Bragg says they're seeing mostly front end damage at his shop. The bill for that kind of work tends to range from $3,000 to $6,000, and you'll be without your car about two weeks for those kinds of repairs
"It's a little hard to keep up because we're so busy. But we feel blessed. We can't complain about work. That's what we're here for."
Bragg recommends checking your tires, slowing down, and not following other cars too closely to prevent a trip to his shop.
