One of the largest craft breweries in the United States is making its Massachusetts debut this week.
New Belgium Brewing of Fort Collins, Colorado, and Asheville, North Carolina, is now one step closer to being a national beer brand. The only states where you can't buy the company's beers are Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
"Two years ago, we were totally at capacity, but we built the second brewery in Asheville, which allowed us to add 500,000 barrels (of brewing capacity)," said New Belgium spokesman. Bryan Simpson. "We're the fourth-largest craft brewery in the country. We're almost national. We always open states contiguously. We have a plan to open the rest of the states in the second quarter of the year."
New Belgium was founded by Kim Jordan and Jeff Lebesch in 1991 after they took a bike ride through Belgium and tasted numerous Belgian ales.
That inspired them to open their own brewery with two Belgian-inspired ales, Fat Tire and Abbey Ale, which are both still available today. Now, New Belgium has more than 800 employees and one of the first employee-owned breweries in the U.S.
Fat Tire will be among the beers that will be available both in draft and in bottles in Massachusetts.
"That's still paying for a lot of bills for us," said Simpson. "It's a big hitter. It's still our top seller. It brings a lot of new beer drinkers into the craft beer fold."
Along with Fat Tire, other beers will include Voodoo Ranger IPA, Citradelic IPA, seasonal beers, as well as bombers of sour beers such as La Folie and other wood-aged beers.
"La Folie is kind of rare," said Simpson. "We have one of the largest wood beer cellars in the country, if not the largest."
Citradelic IPA is an IPA brewed with tangerines. Simpson said it was their best new beer launch in 2016. Voodoo Ranger IPA is a twist on its Ranger IPA. He described it as "juicy," which is pretty much the most popular descriptor for IPAs now.
The current seasonal available is Whizbang, a hoppy blonde ale.
Although not currently available, Simpson said canned versions of New Belgium's 12-ounce offerings will be available in Massachusetts.
Despite the number of new breweries opening in Massachusetts, New Belgium believes the have something new for beer drinkers here, Simpson said.
"There's a lot of support of local beers, as there should be," said Simpson. "But I also think most craft beer drinkers have their own portfolio of beers they drink. They have four or five local go-to beers, and they have a few nationals they go to. We want to be at the top of that line of beers they go to.
"We offer a wide variety of beers, from Belgian to hoppy to sour," he said. "We have everything from approachable to complex."

Ex-Pentagon brass and retired lawmakers slam Congress for stalemate.
The inability of lawmakers to head off the looming threat of automatic budget cuts is a crisis that already is harming agencies and cries out for "adult" leaders to put patriotism over party, a prestigious panel of ex-government officials said Monday.
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman retired Adm. Mike Mullen joined with former budget office directors and senators who served on the major fiscal commissions to blast a political culture in Congress that has allowed the "suicide pact" sequestration to continue on the horizon through election season.
Only some expressed optimism that a solution soon will be found, among them former Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., who said serious behind-the-scenes talk for a large budget deal are in progress.
"The longer we delay dealing with our fiscal problems, the more painful and risky it will be to national security," the retired Gates told the second panel in a series on the fiscal crisis sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Concord Coalition, the Bipartisan Policy Center, and other groups. "It requires the political class to show leadership and make decisions that are unpopular in the short run but will strengthen the country for the long haul."
In a frank critique that would have been unlikely while he was in office, Gates explained why he thinks the government has lost the ability to solve basic problems. He cited highly gerrymandered congressional districts that produce candidates beholden to a hard-core ideological base; "wave" elections in which the winning party is "seized with convictions of its rightness;" the decline of congressional power brokers, or committee chairpersons who can make and enforce deals; and a 24-7 digital media environment in which "extreme ideological opinions are coarsening and dumbing down discourse."
The political center that historically achieved such bipartisan breakthroughs as the Marshall Plan and NATO "is not holding," Gates continued. The inability of politicians to step outside their "ideological cocoon," in which "moderation means lacking principles and compromise means selling out," has prevented the best ideas from being implemented across administrations, he said.
Mullen stressed the national debt is the gravest threat the United States faces. Unless the country addresses "the abundant disorder" in its fiscal affairs, "we cannot hope to sustain our superiority from a military perspective or from the perspective of our influence in foreign affairs," he said. One need only look at the current anti-U.S. violence in Arab countries to see that "our commitments and requirements abroad will continue," Mullen added. "The time to do something is shorter than we think, and if we kick the can down the road, we will soon find that the can will not budge."
Because of impending sequestration, comptrollers inside the Pentagon "are already pulling back and not spending money until 2013," Mullen said. And because military personnel are exempt, most of the cuts to the defense budget would fall on operations and maintenance, training and logistics, he said, adding contract timelines also would have to be renegotiated, costing more in the long run.
Though they agreed the Pentagon must do its share in deficit reduction, Gates and Mullen said the defense budget already has been cut by $900 billion over 10 years. They gave two examples of Congress' resistance to savings -- a proposed scaling back of the F-22 fighter jet and proposed increases in TRICARE health insurance premiums paid by military retirees. In both instances, Congress voted according to "parochial" interests, under pressure from interests such as veterans groups, they said.
If sequestration kicks in, Gates said, "pilots will spend less time in the cockpit, soldiers will spend less time training and with fewer bullets, and ships will stay in port, all of which risk lives."
Mullen said, "I'm not as hopeful as others that we won't drive off that cliff." He and Gates agreed that Congress and the president would have to "tell us what you want us to stop doing."
Veterans of the two fiscal commissions gave the panel, chaired by former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., a mixture of optimistic and pessimistic prospects for heading off fiscal disaster. "I'm really worried if we can't get Republicans and Democrats to put partisanship aside for the deepest crisis in history, that the deficit will grow within the country like a cancer," said businessman Erskine Bowles, the former Clinton White House chief of staff who co-chaired the recent fiscal commission with former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo. "The real challenges are not waste, fraud and abuse, or Nancy Pelosi's airplane," Bowles said, but five big issues: health care, defense, the Tax Code, Social Security and interest on the national debt.
Domenici expressed confidence the budget stalemate could be solved "without doing wild things like what happened in Greece." During this November-December lame duck session, he said, the chatter is Democrats and Republicans in both chambers will work on a "fast-track" plan with the force of law that prevents filibusters but gives authorizing committees clear goals. "The major House and Senate Democrats and Republicans are just as worried as we are," he said.
His partner in leading another fiscal commission, former Office of Management and Budget Director Alice Rivlin, also was upbeat. "Both commissions proved that Republicans and Democrats can work together to gradually and sensibly slow the growth of debt while avoiding stalling economic growth," she said. The components of a deal must include entitlement reform, which is hard on Democrats; tax reform that raises revenue, which is hard on Republicans; and spending cuts in both defense and domestic areas, which are hard on everybody, Rivlin said. "Health care is a hot-button issue, but the parties are not as far apart as everybody thinks."
Simpson said the key will be to "clear out the underbrush of Grover Norquist," the anti-tax activist who "since the 1980s has been wandering the earth in white robes getting people to sign something when they haven't even heard the debate." He also would "take on" the AARP, the giant retirees organization that actually supports some entitlement reforms, Simpson said, but won't say so because they're "marketers" more than "patriots."

The Urban Farming Debate
Two of the biggest environmental concerns these days are climate change and sustainable food production. Urban farming has been touted as a solution to both problems. Small-scale agricultural operations have taken root across the country's metropolises, particularly on roofs and in other under-utilized city space. These farms could decrease carbon dioxide levels in the air, lower heating and cooling costs for buildings, and increase access to fresh food for city residents.
In some cities, zoning makes it difficult to start up a farm even if you find the space and time to do so. In response to this common complaint, Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco, recently proposed legislation to relax zoning laws pertaining to urban gardening. The new laws would allow gardens in all parts of the city, and would allow the sale of produce from these gardens as well. While advocates are still working on maximizing the benefits of this legislation for farmers, the proposal is a big step for the city.
Several cities have considered similar zoning changes to accommodate gardens, though San Francisco is the first to move towards implementation. The ability to sell produce means that farmers can grow not only for themselves, but for their neighborhoods as well. There are few more immediate or effective ways to increase access to fresh foods in underserved communities than to encourage this sort of small business activity.
Urban farming is also making strides on the other side of the country, in New York. BrightFarm Systems, an urban agriculture development firm, is opening a rooftop greenhouse in Brooklyn in 2011. This project is expected to be the first urban hydroponic farm in the world. Its produce will be branded and sold throughout the city. The Economist recently penned a piece indicating this hydroponic method as being perhaps more competitive and feasible than vertical farming, another proposed model. The article takes an analytical eye to vertical farms, and is an interesting read for those interested in methods of urban agriculture.
For those wishing to grow more food but don't have the time or patience for a full garden, there are several options. Window farming allows for minimal space usage and maximum sun exposure for plants. If traditional gardening is more your style, services like Home Grow Micro Farms will deliver pre-planted vegetables to your door.
Becoming a home grower is easier now than ever before, with tons of information and resources available online.

The government has proposed prioritising more spectrum for mobile broadband in an updated Australian radiofrequency spectrum plan. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is seeking comment on the plan, which will go into effect on 1 January.
The ACMA releases the spectrum plan every three to four years; the current plan came into effect 1 January 2009. The document divides spectrum into frequency bands and specifies general purposes for each band. The updated plan "reflects changes in international law, domestic practice, and policy direction that have occurred since publication of the 2009 version or which are currently proposed," the ACMA wrote in the a discussion paper released today.
In the updated plan, the ACMA has proposed to change the status of mobile services in the 3400-3600MHz band to "primary" from "secondary". That change would enable the band to be used by mobile operators for LTE and WiMAX mobile broadband.
"The majority of services currently operating in the band are fixed services providing broadband and other wireless-access services," the ACMA said. "However, national and international analysis suggests there is increasing interest in using the band for mobile services.
"In Australia a number of operators have expressed interest in or intention to deploy LTE or WiMAX systems in the band.
"The ACMA believes changing the status of mobile to a primary service would facilitate the deployment of next-generation mobile technologies in this band. Such a change would give operators additional spectrum options in which to deploy mobile services and greater flexibility in what type of system to deploy in the band."
In addition, the new spectrum plan would allow public safety agencies and emergency responders to use the 4.9GHz band. That band is currently reserved for the Department of Defence.
The updated plan also includes a footnote on the need to review the 400MHz band. The band is "one of the most important and heavily used parts of the spectrum," the ACMA said. "More efficient and effective use of this band is important to Australia's future, but there is evidence that congestion and fragmentation of use is impacting it adversely. Parts of the band are heavily congested in the major cities, while government use tends to be fragmented and uncoordinated."
The ACMA is eying the 400MHz band for interoperable government wireless communications, it said. "There is a need to identify an adequately-dimensioned harmonised band for the government's exclusive use to assist in interoperability objectives and the development of efficient government radiocommunications networks.
"By identifying the same spectrum Australia-wide for government users and encouraging the use of the same equipment, users will be able to communicate regardless of which agency or jurisdiction they are from."
The ACMA is seeking comment on the updated plan by 26 October.

The Islamist ascendancy
By ,
Post-revolutionary Libya appears to have elected a relatively moderate pro-Western government. Good news, but tentative because Libya is less a country than an oil well with a long beach and myriad tribes. Popular allegiance to a central national authority is weak. Yet even if the government of Mahmoud Jibril is able to rein in the militias and establish a functioning democracy, it will be the Arab Spring exception. Consider:
Tunisia and Morocco, the most Westernized of all Arab countries, elected Islamist governments. Moderate, to be sure, but Islamist still. Egypt, the largest and most influential, has experienced an Islamist sweep. The Muslim Brotherhood didn't just win the presidency. It won nearly half the seats in parliament, while more openly radical Islamists won 25 percent. Combined, they command more than 70 percent of parliament — enough to control the writing of a constitution (which is why the generals hastily dissolved the parliament.

That's what a lot of people were asking at the 2009 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Reno a few months ago. Two 16 year olds in San Antonio, Texas, worked together to try and find out.
Keystone High's Sehar Anjum Salman and Jada Nicole Dalley showed that third hand smoke—all the toxic chemicals left behind on furniture, car upholstery or clothing after the cigarette smoke floats away—produces as many mutations in newborn fruit flies as second hand smoke—when someone blows their cigarette smoke near you and you breathe it in.
These photos taken by Jada and Sehar show some of the fruit flies they used for their study. Different genetic mutations can affect the color and shape of the flies' eyes, the color of their bodies, the shape of their wings, the number of bristles they have, and many other features.
Compare the normal fruit fly (left) with the mutant fruit fly (right). Do you see a difference? (Hint: the mutant fruit fly is probably going to have some trouble flying.)
Sehar and Jada won a First Place NIDA Addiction Science Award at the Super Bowl of science fairs for cleverly showing the dangers of third-hand smoke—something scientists don't know a lot about. It makes you think twice about hanging out with smokers, even if they're not lighting up!
Read more about Sehar and Jada's project.
The research project conducted by Jada and Sehar was fascinating. These young students are proof that America's youth are capable of making key contributions to our country now and in the future.

Hey, this is about my sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to NIDA with her and my dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like the question and this is really helpful for my health project in school!
How do I stop my family from smoking and dieing??????????????????????????????? How do I stay away????????????????????? How do I not smoke????????????????????????? How do I save my family?????????????????????????How do I save me???????????????????????????? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plaese send me a answer plaese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@sonia#1--try going here. You could find some useful info. Best way to not smoke is not to start--and you sound like you're committed to being healthy.
i like when people talk it out or tell what could happen
We had the same studies. We made cigarette smoke as a mutagen to our fruit flies..and the result was that our fruit flies developed vestigial wings a lot shorter and crippled than the picture above..and yes, the fruit has trouble with flying..
My grandmother died from lung cancer. i tell everyone not to smoke and I always feel bad for young children whose parents smoke around them. When I started my business I pledged to donate 2% of all profits to lung cancer and other cancer charities. In my industry many people smoke, and I am trying to change that. Seeing kids do amazing science work like this is inspiring! Keep it up. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
I work with pregnant women who smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke. There aren't many materials to educate on thirdhand smoke since its a rather new discovery. I am adding this to my web site 'Favorites' as it will give me a good visual aid to use! Congrats to these young women, keep up your work! You are making an impact on the future!
It doesn't look like any significant research has been done in humans, though there has been more research related to the actual chemicals that deposit on surfaces: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es5036333.

Dodgers recall Figgins and Dominguez
Club places LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu on 15-day DL
LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Dodgers today recalled infielder/outfielder Chone Figgins and right-handed pitcher Jose Dominguez, placed left-handed pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu on the 15-day disabled list with left-shoulder inflammation (retroactive to April 28), returned left-handed pitcher Paco Rodriguez to Triple-A Albuquerque and optioned right-handed pitcher Red Patterson to Triple-A Albuquerque
Figgins, who will be appearing in his second stint with the club, has played in nine games this season (nine PH appearances), going 1-for-6 with three walks for a .444 on-base percentage. The 12-year Major League veteran was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on April 21 and played in eight games for the Isotopes, batting .280 (7-for-25) with two doubles and three runs scored.
Dominguez returns to the club for his fourth stint this season, having pitched in four games. The hard-throwing was optioned to Albuquerque on Sunday and last appeared in a game for the Isotopes Monday vs. Salt Lake, firing 2.0 scoreless innings with four strikeouts. On the season, Dominguez has pitched in four games at Albuquerque, allowing only one earned run in 5.0 innings (1.80 ERA).

Increase in Strength
Cooltamerboy, we have no idea if that chakra cloak increases anything other than strength. Either provide proof, or stop adding it.
Also, that picture shows the Raikage preforming an attack that seems similar to Killer Bee's Lightning Plough Hot Sword. As it might be a different technique than the one described here, that picture doesn't fit in this article. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 11:59, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
- Well i'll get another image, but it does increase strength because raikage was able to damage the wall greatly by an elbow smash on jugo? Cooltamerboy (talk) 12:01, September 8, 2009 (UTC).
- So? That might have been natural strength or another technique entirely. There's no proof he's also activating his muscles with that chakra cloak. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 12:14, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
- CTB, could u sort it out here, and then decide weather to add it or not....Very annoying when u keep getting mails during a revert war...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 12:16, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
- But compare the punch in the wall he did and the one he did by using elbow smash on jugo? You can see the damage was bigger and it was an elbow smash not a punch? Cooltamerboy (talk) 13:46, September 8, 2009 (UTC).
- Oh Titans.../sigh /painedsigh /morepainedsigh We've got a thread about the Raikage using some sort of Lightning Cloak or something (Man I wished I named the article that earlier), everything he does while IN the cloak stems from that. No more no less. I hope this ends the confusion, but...somehow I doubt it...--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:48, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
Well somehow I think your's answer's correct. But i still think we should add the words and strength? Cooltamerboy (talk) 15:25, September 8, 2009 (UTC).
- As far as we know, the chakra cloak only does one thing: increase speed. Until there is evidence, we cannot say it does anything else. We have no idea how strong the Raikage is without that cloak or what other powers he may have. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:51, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
Ok. Then we'll just have to wait. Cooltamerboy (talk) 08:26, September 9, 2009 (UTC).
How do we know if it's as fast at FTG?
- One of the Raikage's escorts mentioned that with the raiton armor, Raikage would be as fast as the Konoha Yellow Flash. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:55, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, that statement doesn't necessarily mean the Raikage is as fast as the Flying Thunder God Technique. Shī might simply have been referring to the Fourth Hokage's normal speed. Then again, this article doesn't claim the Raikage is as fast as the Flying Thunder God Technique with this technique. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 01:13, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
Can we have the comparison sourced? I can't seem to find it anywhere. User:Master Shannara Actually it isn actual speed i think its more like how fast his neurotransmitters are buzzing, therefore lessening reaction time and making the muscles respond faster
His speed increase is so great, he could dodge Amaterasu, which is considered instant. Shall we take a look at how Amaterasu works? *NOTE* This is my explanation for the technique and the one that makes the most sense to me *UNNOTE* Amaterasu activates at the focal point of the users vision. The sense of sight works when light from the outside world is beamed into our eyes. IT is focused by the lens onto the retina, where it is carried by the optic nerve to the brain for interpretation. Amaterasu, in a way, "rests" on the retina, where it waits for an image to hit it. Once it does, the light is reflected back to the initial target with Amaterasu traveling as well. This would make Amaterasu a speed-of-light attack. If A could dodge that from about 20 feet, then that would place him somewhere between relativistic and Chuck Norris. Gaara blocked it not out of speed, but how long it took for Sasuke's eyes to adjust focus between two targets. That gave Gaara enough time to bring up his shield. Please respond to this and tell me what u think! ~Akatsuki Rulz~ —This unsigned comment was made by Akatsuki rulz (talk • contribs) .

Does Lariat belong under the directly derived jutsu? Or does it not go there, because it can be done with Killer Bee's jinchuriki transformation?--Enoki911 (talk) 02:24, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
[Concern] over surprise
I have generally let this slide, but I cannot help but feel there is there is a difference in perspective to how Darui reacted to seeing C use this technique. To me it looks like shock and worry over simply surprise. The exclamation mark, that diamond shaped thing which shows that attention has been grabbed (does that have a name?), and the eye and mouth seem open in surpise. On their own it is reasonable to say just surprise, but having all three seems like overkill or a different message. Finally, there is the drop of sweat (did he sweat at any other different time). Moreover, each technique is supposed to have a flaw/downside (Rasenshuriken with the chewing up the user's cells to the enormous chakra drain), where is this ones shown (especially since this plays with the brain)? Darui should have a reason to be concerned and to me he is showing it, yet when I put that in, it gets removed. Please explain. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 06:30, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- It looks more like reacting to the news of Sasuke killing so many samurai, "I can sense a lot of chakras disappering! It must be Sasuke!" then he has the strong reaction. Arrancar79 (talk) 06:48, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- This technique has shown no signs of having a downside. At all.
- Even if Darui is concerned there, it most likely is because of how the Raikage is taking Sasuke's presence, rather than him using this technique. After all, the Raikage was taking this extremely serious. Enough so to even give up his limbs. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 06:55, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Reasonable, but he never showed the same reaction again, the closest would be A and his leg almost meeting that blaze jutsu, and when Sussan'o blocked that attack he and Co. unleased. Even with Madara giving his evil plan he was calmer (except for the whole 'Everything will become one with me' part, and even that was fairly calm). Plus, the timing of the response seems to indicate the jutsu not Sasuke (not to mention the things said in C and Darui's minds. Plus, when we first saw Rasenshuriken we saw no downside, or Susann'o, for a little bit (collapsing, arm busted up, coughing up blood,etc), yet we do [know] that each jutsu is to have a weakness in proportion to its power. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 07:19, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- The Raikage hadn't even used the jutsu when Darui reacts. As far as a down side to every jutsu, 90% of the time it is a tactical down side like Chidori without the Sharingan. Rasenshuriken was forbidden because of the potentially permanent physical damage it could cause Naruto. Arrancar79 (talk) 07:46, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Him never showing that reaction again isn't that odd. That's the moment he realised how serious the Raikage was taking this. Afterwards, he wouldn't be surprised about it any more and would just do his job. The RAikage activating this technique was most likely the indication of how serious he was.
- If this technique was the reason of their reactions and did have some sort of downside, they would have probably shown more concern throughout the fight. Downsides usually become more pronounced with extended use. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 08:12, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Jugo's Blast
Did Jugo really hit the Raikage with his blast during their fight? I know it was a point-blank attack, but the raikage was easily fast enough to dodge it, as he could dodge Amaterasu with ease. This could probably be left out.Pacifista15 (talk) 04:50, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
No jugo's blast didn't hit the raikage he dodged it just like he did with amaterasu--Charmanking2198 (talk) 12:59, December 19, 2011 (UTC)
Is it just me, or is this technique remarkably similar to the Dragon Ball Z technique Lightning Aura? http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Aura Just wondering if it should be mentioned?ZPRN (talk) 17:15, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know about the anime, but in the manga Nappa's aura only has a lightning-appearance for about a page. If Lightning Armor is to be based on anything from Dragon Ball, I think Super Saiyan 2 has a much stronger likeness. ~SnapperTo 18:24, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right, I just figured since they're both kind of the same principle (and they're both capable of hacking off human limbs), Lightning Armour might have come about partially thanks to Dragon Ball. (Kishimoto's admitted having been influenced by Toriyama's work, right?) Maybe not though, it's not particularly important. ZPRN (talk) 18:57, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
I would like to know all properties from the lightning release armor. So the Raikage has enhanced speed, agility, reflexes and strenght, and he can cut things with his hands and arms. But what else?—This unsigned comment was made by ShenLong Kazama (talk • contribs) .
- Everything we know about A's armour is in his article.--Cerez365™ 19:53, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
- But what would happen if someone who's not as bulky as the Raikage uses the Raiton no Yoroi? Would he be as strong and fast as the Raikage? --ShenLong Kazama (talk) 17:04, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
- D-W-L!--Cerez365™ 18:27, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
What the hell? Please explain. --ShenLong Kazama (talk) 19:10, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
- What all of that means is that there's no way we'd know the answer to the question you just posted because we're not Masashi Kishimoto. Also, this isn't a forum.--Cerez365™ 19:46, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
Hey guyz, tell you something, as wind, earth and lightning are relaed by the strong weak bond, the lightning release armour can protect the user against these,but what about water and fire? Water may cause the user to electrocute themselves and fire may just pass through the armour and burn them, won't they?188.8.131.52 (talk) 11:35, April 3, 2012 (UTC) sk
- Why would he get electrocuted by adding water when hes totally fine with lightning completely surrounding him?
we cant say about the others but it has been said to offer defence as raikage was impressed sasuke got through it. --Kotoamatsukami (talk) 12:53, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
vs Rasenshuriken
Its already mentioned that this armour can defend the user from a chidori. According to last manga chapter (554), the lightning armour defended the 3rd raikage from a rasenshuriken (a wind release technique that maybe has kyubi's chakra) . I think this should be mentioned in the article to show the fact that this lightning armour is also an effective protection against a S-rank wind release ninjutsu which is expected to be stronger than a lightning technique.--18.104.22.168 (talk) 13:43, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Sandaime was protected by his body not the lightning armour. Wind is stronger than lightning.--Cerez365™ 13:48, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
- And Edo Tensei regeneration. I highly doubt that the Raikage would be able to do anything if his chakra network were to be suffer the effects of the Rasenshuriken. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:08, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Looking closely at chapter 554, the lightning release armour not only surrounds the user but the clothing that they are also wearing, including the rope belt around the Third's waist. On page 5, the blade of the Rasenshuriken easily cuts through this belt in spite of the armour. So, to answer the original question, the lightning release armour definitely doesn't protect the Third from Naruto's Rasenshuriken. Blackstar1 (talk) 22:50, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
Four finger nukite
Hum since the Nukite is a Lightning Release jutsu, and since it was never seen done separately should it be added to the listed of derived Jutsu's like most of A's arsenal...since it's apparently clear that this is a move that takes advantage of the Lightning chakra on the Armor...any opinions? —This unsigned comment was made by [[User:|]] ([[User talk:|talk]] • contribs) on Darksusanoo.
- I don't see how it should be a derivative technique per se. If it's anything like Raikiri and Chidori, it can probably also be used without the armour. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 19:57, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
- But the fact is it was seen being done by the Raikage without the Lightning Armor...plus the only similar thing to the Chidori/Raikiri is the use of Lightning as a piercing effect...Darksusanoo (talk) 20:00, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
Shouldnt this jutsu be classified as a nintaijutsu?--Charmanking2198 (talk) 12:15, December 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Since we don't have a clear definition of what it is, no. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 12:40, December 19, 2011 (UTC)
Speed comparisons
We know it was mentioned he could be as fast as the Flying Thunder God technique, but where did "Naruto in 9-tails form" come from? If we're including that, then shouldn't we also include Guy and Rock Lee's highest power taijutsu with many open gates? If you recall, Rock Lee was already ridiculously fast by just taking off his leg weights ("Upon removing the weights, Lee's speed vastly increases, making it almost impossible to see his movements with the unaided eye. When he removed his ankle weights during his fight with Gaara, they enabled him to be the first person to ever bypass his defences and strike him. Lee's speed was so great in Part II he could intercept a charge from Haku, who is known for his speed both in and out of his Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals."[1]), let alone when he opened gates. And you saw how fast he was after just a few gates, imagine that on Guy. To me, Tobi's space-time, Minato's FTG, Naruto's nine-tails, AND the Inner Gates taijutsu of Guy and Rock are all more or less equal as the fastest techniques. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 07:07, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
We don't just add arbitrary comparisons that haven't been mentioned or shown. And Lee was fast, but speed boosts always sem faster when first introduced and are slower by comparison to things later in the series. Think Dragon Ball Z to picture this properly. We added that Chakra Mode bit because he kept up with Naruto while he was in that mode, though he was eventually outdone. Basically, you're interpreting the speed of characters who haven't even been compared; This is not a forum. Also, no matter what C says, speed can never compete with FTG, no matter how fast it is since FTG is instantaneous. Skitts (talk) 07:15, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
- You said you don't make arbitrary comparisons without it being mentioned to start, then toss in that "you can't compare to FTG regardless of what C said" defending FTG. That's confusing and hypocritical. Yes, you CAN make comparisons -- it's already been done on this wiki and it makes perfect sense to do so. If you want to go by explicit word-for-word mentions, then this wiki page should be edited to contain only the reference to FTG and nothing else. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 07:21, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
I'm "defending FTG" because what you're saying that C said is by definition incorrect. You cannot be "as fast" as something that is instantaneous because just by definition that means it ignores the time aspect of speed and acceleration. Anyway, C compared A in the Armour to FTG, he didn't say he could "be as fast". And no, you can't make random comparisons as you did with Lee and guy. Naruto and FTG were actually compared to A, Lee and Guy were not, thus it is a pointless venture to even speculate about it. Skitts (talk) 07:41, February 4, 2012 (UTC)Anyone notice that when Onoki was on A's back, the Lightning Release Armor covered him also? I think we should include it in the trivia. Skarrj (talk) 05:08, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Grains continued their rally higher on further bull spreading and dry weather concerns in Russia. July wheat led the way finishing 19 cents higher at $6.57 ¾. July soybeans finished 16 cents higher at $14.38 and July corn 5 cents higher at $6.25.
The grains held support today despite the selloff in the outside markets like the Dow and Crude oil. We had the strongest rally in Chicago wheat as the Russian weather bureau forecaster is calling for a "considerable size area" under fire weather warning through the 19th. One day after the latest FOMC minutes we are finding treasuries and gold sharply higher. The fact that the Fed is hinting towards another possible round of Quantitative easing could bring support into commodities as the market tries to own "hard assets" as an inflation hedge.
With stronger ethanol numbers yesterday and stronger CIF basis today, corn was able to continue it's "bullspreading" pattern to finish the July – Dec corn spread at + 96 ¾ which is the highest level it has been since report day (May 9th). July – November soybean spreads were so strong they actually made new spread contract highs at +$1.34! This is despite the fact that both corn and soybean export sales were below the estimates this morning. Soybeans did have a sale announcement of 480,000 MTs of old crop to China which contributed to this strength.
As I said yesterday, Chicago wheat was the one contract the funds were heavily short in (beside Nat Gas) and as soon as they have to short cover it can mean additional strength. Open interest dropped by almost 10,000 contracts from yesterday's trade so all signs are pointing to fund liquidation of short wheat positions.

DESSERT OF THE WEEK – Chocolate Candy Pie
DESSERT OF THE WEEK – Chocolate Candy Pie
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups milk
3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped assorted chocolate-covered candy, plus additional candy, for garnish
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
One 6-ounce chocolate or regular graham cracker crumb pie crust
Whisk together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the milk in a slow stream. Whisk in the egg yolks.
Place the mixture over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until it just begins to boil, 6 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking, until thick, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in the butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Fold the chopped candy into the pudding. Whip 3/4 cup of the cream with an electric mixer just until stiff peaks form. Fold a third of the whipped cream into the pudding to lighten it, and then fold in the other two-thirds until no streaks remain. Transfer to the pie crust and freeze until firm but not frozen solid, about 3 hours.
Whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream just until soft peaks form. Spread over the pie and garnish decoratively with sliced or chopped candy.
Cook's Note: The pie can be frozen overnight and thawed at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing; it can also be refrigerated instead of frozen.
Use the plastic insert of the pie crust, flipped upside down, as a lid to cover the pie while freezing

Oscar tea-leaf reading doesn't get any better than at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
When the 20th annual SAG Awards get underway Saturday night at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles (broadcast live on TNT and TBS beginning at 8 p.m. EST), the guild's choices will be heavily scrutinized for their predictive powers about the Academy Awards.
Actors make up the largest branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, so SAG members have perhaps more sway in determining Academy Awards winners than any other group.
U.S. & World
This year, the five nominees for SAG's top honor, outstanding performance by a movie cast, are: "12 Years a Slave," ''American Hustle," ''Dallas Buyers Club," ''August: Osage County" and "Lee Daniels' The Butler."
Obviously, SAG and the academy don't always agree: Neither "August: Osage County" nor "The Butler" were nominated for best picture, and "The Butler" was snubbed entirely. The effects-heavy, sparsely peopled "Gravity" was predictably overlooked by SAG (except for a best actress nomination to Sandra Bullock), while it garnered 10 Oscar nods.
But the SAG Awards will give a window into support for Oscar favorites "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle." In individual honors, SAG favored "12 Years," nominating Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong'o. Jennifer Lawrence, for supporting actress, is the lone "American Hustle" nominee.
The SAG outstanding cast awards have lined up with Oscar best-picture winners, including "Argo," ''The King's Speech," ''Slumdog Millionaire" and "No Country for Old Men." But SAG diverged in the past with picks like "The Help," ''Inglourious Basterds" and "Little Miss Sunshine." The actors did foretell one of the biggest Oscar upsets in 2005, choosing "Crash" over "Brokeback Mountain."
But the SAG Awards also represent one of the more collegiate atmospheres of awards season, with winners almost uniformly expressing gratitude for an honor chosen by their peers. The speeches are often good, too, and can help stoke Oscar support.
Among the nominees Saturday night are Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine"), Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club"), Forest Whitaker ("Lee Daniels' The Butler"), Meryl Streep ("August: Osage County"), Tom Hanks ("Captain Phillips"), Emma Thompson ("Saving Mr. Banks") and Bruce Dern ("Nebraska"). James Gandolfini was nominated posthumously for his supporting performance in "Enough Said."
Among SAG's TV drama ensemble contenders are HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" and "Game of Thrones," AMC's "Breaking Bad," PBS's "Downton Abbey" and Showtime's "Homeland." Comedy series ensemble nominees include NBC's "30 Rock," Netflix's "Arrested Development," CBS's "The Big Bang Theory," ABC's "Modern Family" and HBO's "Veep."
SAG's lifetime achievement award will be given Rita Moreno, the 81-year-old "West Side Story" actress whose career has spanned Broadway, television and music.

Court of Appeals upholds Section 230 immunity for MySpace. Social networking provider not subject to suit for negligence for failing to implement technological measures to weed out underage users.
Doe v. MySpace, Inc., — F.3d —-, 2008 WL 2068064 (5th Cir. May 16, 2008).
I've been pretty busy the past few weeks with work and speaking engagements, and I also slipped in a little vacation awhile back. So I'm doing some catching up, looking over a number of interesting decisions from the past few weeks. While I was on the beach in Florida with my family, the Fifth Circuit issued this intriguing opinion in a case that has gotten quite a bit of publicity since it was filed back in 2006. Here's the story.
When Julie Doe was 13, she lied about her age and set up a profile on MySpace. A year later, she met — first online, then offline — a 19 year-old named Solis. That Solis allegedly assaulted Doe.
Julie and her mother filed suit against MySpace alleging, among other things, negligence. The plaintiffs claimed that MySpace should have done more to prevent Doe and Solis from meeting.
The case bounced around Texas and New York state court, then to New York federal court, then back to Texas where it ended up in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. Last year, the district court dismissed the case, holding that the Communications Decency Act at 47 U.S.C. 230 immunized MySpace from liability.
The Does sought review with the Fifth Circuit. On appeal, the court affirmed.
Section 230 provides, in relevant part, that " [n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." The Does had argued that Section 230 should not bar the negligence claim, as the allegations dealt not with MySpace's publication of information, but with the site's failure to implement appropriate security.
Agreeing with the lower court, the appellate court rejected what it called disingenuous artful pleading by the plaintiffs. It found that the allegations were "merely another way of claiming that MySpace was liable for publishing the communications and they [spoke] to MySpace's role as a publisher of online third-party-generated content."

I prefer to Walk and Draw at the same time, rather than sitting and drawing because I am healthier, more creative, and most all of more productive. Instead of setting aside exercise in a one hour block, I am combining it to get my projects done, and have never gone back to sitting and drawing ever again, neither will you.

It's easy to look at a draft immediately after it ends and declare a "winner" and "loser" because none of those draft picks have ever played a game. Now that those players have a full season under their belts (and with the 2014 draft right around the corner), it is a much better time to look at the outgoing rookie class and try to figure out which were the best picks.
This isn't a list of who the 10 best players will be from this class and it's not a re-draft after the fact, but rather it's a look at which teams made the best decisions and got the best value from the players where they were selected.

Krisily Kennedy, arguably the most outspoken person on the Bachelor Pad this season saw her chance at winning $250,000 fade away as she was voted out of the Bachelor Pad house on Monday.
Krisily didn't take her elimination too well as she got angry and called out the couples, whom she believed would make the final four.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, the 30-year-old Bachelor alum speaks out on being betrayed by Dave, her thoughts on Natalie, and explains why she didn't side with Wes. Excerpts are below –
One of the things that you said after you were eliminated was not to trust anybody. Who do you think it was that you trusted that you shouldn't have?
In the end, I don't think it would've made a difference at all. I did definitely have my faith in Dave Goode a little bit. [He] and I did have a bond where each week we would talk about who we were voting for. So, I really trusted him. I had been nervous at every single rose ceremony and that one I felt pretty safe in — and clearly I wasn't.
Are you still interested in Dave after what happened last night?
No, no, no, no. Dave's a great guy. I definitely lost interest in Dave after seeing the fantasy suite episode with Natalie, I will not lie. I am all set with sloppy seconds.
Do you think that relationship will last?
I don't. I do like Natalie. She is a free spirit and she doesn't really care what people think, which I think is great because I am like that myself. I just wouldn't put myself in the situations that she does, so I don't necessarily foresee that relationship being anything too longterm.
Do you regret not siding with Wes?
I had joined that group—the outsiders—and we fell apart and no one was sharp enough to actually follow through with what they said. My strategy was to figure out who the majority vote was and go with them and figure out how to save myself each week. Kiptyn, Kovacs and Dave were the majority vote that last rose ceremony, and unfortunately Kiptyn chose not to save me … so, unfortunately, going with the majority did not help me at all.
In other Bachelor Pad news, E! Online is reporting that Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke are officially a couple!
The duo, who have been shown expressing their feelings about each other on the Bachelor Pad, walked the red carpet together at an ET Emmy party this week.
"Tonight is our first night out as an actual couple," Tenley told reporters. "We were friends first and always, always a crush. And he's just one of the most genuine men I've ever met and he's very, very consistent."
E! reports the two even recently went on a double date with Tenley's Bachelor costar Ali Fedotowsky and her fiance Roberto Martinez.

Remember that New York Times editorial I complained about? Seems I wasn't the only person who found it inconsistent and offputting. Ladies and gentlemen, Sen. Carl Levin, (D-Michigan).
The hold-outs who warned against the "nuclear option" all hoped that Republicans would accept their new peace offering. "It'll give great momentum to working on a bipartisan basis here in the Senate," said Michigan Sen. Carl Levin. Democrats, by caving, had prevented a "meltdown." To do otherwise would have been hypocritical. "One of the major newspapers in our country, and I won't point out which one, the editorial this time was, 'Hey, go use the so-called constitutional option.' " (Levin was referring to the New York Times.) "Read their editorial when the Republicans threatened to use the nuclear option! Strongly in opposition to the nuclear option. We've got to be consistent."

What is UCPPS?
In 2007, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) began using the umbrella term "Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome", or UCPPS, to refer to pain syndromes associated with the male and female pelvises. Previously, the female version was called interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, or IC/PBS, and the male version was called chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, or CP/CPPS. Many doctors still use the old terms.
Are all forms of UCPPS the same disease?
That's what current research is attempting to find out. There are good reasons to suspect that they are, in other words that there are few differences, at the primary etiology level, between chronic painful prostate ("prostatitis") and chronic painful bladder ("cystitis"). Indeed, the central roles of the bladder and prostate in these disorders is questionable. For instance, when both men and women in the general population were tested using the (1) National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index or NIH-CPSI (with the female homolog of each male anatomical term used on questionnaires for female participants), (2) the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and (3) additional questions on pelvic pain, the prevalence of symptoms suggestive of CP/CPPS was 5.7% in women and 2.7% in men, placing in doubt the role of the prostate gland.
What is the likely cause of UCPPS?
The most recent research has uncovered some intriguing clues as to the root cause of this enigmatic constellation of pain syndromes. These clues relate to cortisol levels in response to stress, genetic enzyme deficiencies, neurogenic inflammation, and myofascial pain syndrome. The psychological aspect of stress is implicated in several of these studies, and in susceptible individuals, stress seems to be able to trigger various hormonal, neurological and neuromuscular phenomena that result in chronic pain and allodynia in the pelvis and pelvic organs.
Any further major breakthroughs will be highlighted on this page as they become available. Bookmark and check back.

Score Interpretation
|You have a high or very high risk of becoming ill in the near future.
|You have a moderate to high chance of becoming ill in the near future.
|You have only a low to moderate chance of becoming ill in the near future.
What You Can Do About This
If you find that you are at a moderate or high level of risk, then an obvious first thing to do is to try to avoid future life crises.
While this is clearly easier said than done, you can usually avoid moving house, for example, close to when you retire, or when one of your children goes off to college; you can learn conflict resolution skills to minimize conflict with other people; you can avoid taking on new obligations or engaging with new programs of study; and you can take things easy, and look after yourself.
