Matchless Raijin-Oh 2nd Season Gets Subtitle-only Release
posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The American distributor Anime Midstream announced at its panel at A-Kon on Saturday that it will release the second season of the Matchless Raijin-Oh (Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh) television anime series. The company revealed that the second season of the show, which starts with episode 26, will be released with Japanese audio only with English subtitles. Anime Midstream has been releasing the first half of the series with both Japanese and English audio tracks.
The company noted it expects to release volume 4 in the series, which will contain episodes 16-20, on DVD in "a couple of weeks." Additionally, Anime Midstream noted it hopes to release volume 5, which will contain episodes 21-25, by the end of the summer. The company will dedicate volume 4 in the series to voice actress Cassandra Hodges, who passed away last June at the age of 28. The company also noted that it does not have the rights to release the four-episode Matchless Raijin-Oh OAV sequel series.
The company first announced its license to the 51-episode television anime series in 2009.
The company also announced at the panel that it is relocating from St. Louis, Missouri to the Dallas, Texas area.

The perennial debate in the smartphone space, iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, has resulted in many a dive deep into the various features and capabilities of each phone. Technical specifications aside, however, it's clear that the iPhone does takes the cake when it comes to the design and availability of phone case options.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dina from Spectacular! This is a must have in the kitchen!

Thinking of getting another one! No need to go outside - I have grilled burgers, fish, even pineapple with great results.Date published: 2019-07-04Rated 5 out of 5 by DruAnnV from love this non-stick. Gives perfect grill marks We love to cook. Finally investing in top quality cookware. This pan is the bomb!Date published: 2019-03-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Pamela1027 from Love this pan! I bought this about a year ago because I wanted a grill pan and loved this non stick. I've had my All-Clad pans for many years, but have wished off and on for something easier to clean but with the same high quality as my All-Clad. This pan has been fantastic. Cooks evenly, and performs just as I had hoped — and incredibly easy to clean. I personally always hand wash it, but am grateful for the dishwasher safe designation because I know my husband will put it in there.Date published: 2019-03-03Rated 5 out of 5 by el from all clad na1 nonstick grill pan Great quality, cooks evenlyDate published: 2018-12-13Rated 1 out of 5 by Lorraine from Not induction, WS floor staff will tell you it is I bought this pan a few months ago at a Williams Sonoma store and it had a sign on the cookware staying it was for induction use, I verified with the sales person who said it was. It was apparent it was not after I tried to use it and since we have no WS store close by I will be giving it to someone with an electric range. I'm more disappointed in myself. It looked like the pans that won't work on induction and I should have listened to that warning voice in my head or read the reviews online first! I won't assume the WS staff knows next time.Date published: 2018-06-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Michele from Best grill pan! Bought this a few months ago and I wait to write a review until I've used it a few times. I have an electric oven and it works fantastic. Grill gets hot quickly and food comes out great every time whether it be fish, chicken or burgers. Clean up is a dream. Highly recommend.Date published: 2017-11-06Rated 5 out of 5 by Pepper PhD from New favorite go-to pan! I have the other All-Clad pans and I received a WS gift card for my birthday and purchased this pan, and I have to say it is my favorite from the All-Clad line. I use it at least 3 times a week! I have a new gas range stove and it is PERFECT, I will say make sure to let the pan heat up fully before laying food down because it is larger than the burners. The center may be hot but the corners may be cool still, or turn the pan at a 45 degree angle after 2 minutes to get an even heating to start. I grill squash and asparagus, fish, chicken, veggie burgers and smashed potatoes all the time and never have had a problem with sticking. Mild soap and a soft sponge cleans it perfectly, just do not use a rough coarse scrubber or you will damage the nonstick coating.Date published: 2017-08-17

Banbridge Police say children and young people who are hanging around "anti-social behaviour hotspots" getting drunk are putting themselves in serious danger.
After posting pictures on Facebook of a number of locations where underage drinkers regularly congregate, PSNI Banbridge officers have warned that the town's anti-social behaviour problem "seems to be escalating".
"I have personally came across children as young as 14 heavily intoxicated and it is extremely concerning," one officer posted.
"It may seem like a bit of fun, however drinking alcohol at these places can lead to very serious problems. The derelict factory at Brookfield is not a safe place to be with a lot health and safety risks; sudden steep drops, unstable architecture, broken bottles just to name a few, I struggle to navigate my own way round it with a my torch and heavy duty work boots never mind a 14 year old with a bottle of Frosty Jacks or Bucky in them. Someone is going to get seriously hurt!
"Solitude Park and the river walk have the fast flowing River Bann barrelling through it and it only takes a drunken stumble from the favourite drinking spot under the bridge and you could end up in serious trouble."
The post continues with an appeal to local parents: "If your kiddies are going out this weekend or even during the week please try your best to ensure that they are not participating in these activities or we could end up at your door having an embarrassing conversation!
"The last thing we want to do is to end up prosecuting your child and giving them a criminal record for being disorderly, assaults or being drunk, but depending on the individual circumstance we may be left with little option."
Responding to criticism from local residents, including parents of young people, that the police and other agencies aren't doing enough to tackle the town's anti-social behaviour problem, the officer added: "I'm going to guess that people may comment that police are not doing enough to put a stop to this behaviour and that there are no police in Banbridge. Trust me WE ARE in Banbridge and WE ARE proactively patrolling these areas and seize alcohol off those who shouldn't be drinking it, we bring those vulnerable through their drunken state to hospital or back to their parents, we attend schools and other youth organisations and give talks to children, we make referrals and participate in youth engagement programmes with our partners and hold alcohol support programmes for those who fit the criteria."
Banbridge PSNI have appealed to anyone who witnesses anti-social behaviour to report it by calling 101. Officers are also keen to speak to anyone with specific information or concerns about the ongoing problems in the area.

It's been discussed before in shady corners of other forums and these, but typical medieval armies used a lot of spears for their general infantry. Now obviously the 7 kindoms have access to much better equipment than the usual historical army and it has high emphasis on knights, but still...as effective as swords are, spears make a lot of sense in a general infantry unit, even in a fantasy world.
Maybe they are keeping them for some faction? Do the books shed any light on this? The Unsullied are certainly going to fight in phalanx formation.

BM# 51 — Baking Marathon: Day 16
Bake of the Day: Breakfast — Baked Oatmeal
Baked oatmeal for breakfast is a great way to start any day — it's easy to put together, quite healthy and can be made for 1 or for a crowd in almost the same time.
I tasted baked oatmeal with raspberries at a cute little restaurant in Harrisburg last year and it has been on my mind ever since. I actually wanted to try the same recipe with raspberries but I couldn't find any good berries in the store. So ended up making this chocolate version because the kids would prefer this version over the berries.
It is very simple to put together — mix all the ingredients, pour into the baking dish(es) and bake. The batter is quite liquidy to begin with so it takes a good 40~45 minutes to bake. I haven't tried it but I'm thinking that assembling the dish overnight and baking in the morning for breakfast would also work.
I skipped the egg and used egg replacer instead — ground flax seed whisked with water would also work. When served with extra milk and maple syrup — it tastes almost like a dessert and kids would love it.
Recipe adapted from here:
Print Recipe
|Prep Time
|4 serving
|20 minutes
|Cook Time
|45 minutes
- 1½ cups Oats Old fashioned Rolled
- 3 Bananas - large, mashed plus more for the topping, if desired
- 1 Egg (I used 1tbsp egg replacer whisked in 3tbsp water)
- ¼ cup Cocoa Unsweetened powder
- 3 tbsps Brown Sugar (add more if you want to make it sweeter)
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Baking powder
- 1¼ cups Milk (Any dairy or non-dairy milk would work)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 4 6~8oz. ramekins or a 6" square casserole dish or a pie dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the eggs (or the egg replacer mixture), cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the milk and mix well. Make sure that there are no clumps of cocoa powder.
- Stir in the oats and mix well.
- Pour into the prepared pan or pans and arrange the sliced bananas on top, if desired.
- Bake for about 40~45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cut into 4 pieces and serve warm with syrup and milk on side.

Clare & Ron – Ritz Carlton Wedding in Dana Point, CA
One of the best decision for our wedding day was to take lessons for our first dance. First off, we did a lot of research about our first dance…It's impossible to learn just looking at videos without professional help. So we went to Bella Ballroom…and all of our family and friends LOVED our first dance. I would highly recommend Bella Ballroom Dance Studio hands-down! THANK YOU!!

The top spot at Christian Dior has been empty since John Galliano's rampage in a Paris cafe, but the search is apparently over. And the pride of French fashion is going with an American.
The Daily Front Row has heard from multiple high-ranking sources that Marc Jacobs will leave his post as creative director of Louis Vuitton to take over at Dior. A spokesperson for the house declined to comment, but the report claims that an announcement from LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault is "imminent."
Since he took over at Louis Vuitton in 1997, Mr. Jacobs has seen the brand's value and reach increase immensely. Mr. Arnault will expect to see a similar growth spurt at Dior once he moves Mr. Jacobs from one LVMH brand to another.
Mr. Jacobs, who was born in New York City, will unveil his Spring/Summer 2012 line on the Monday evening of Fashion Week, at the 69th Regiment Armory.

Nice cream is an easy, dairy free version of ice cream! The base of nice cream is just frozen bananas and some almond milk, and then you add whatever other ingredients you want. For this nice cream I flavoured it with matcha green tea, coconut, vanilla and honey.
Matcha is 10 times more beneficial than green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content. It is made of straight, stoneground tea leaves, so you are consuming the entire leaf. The tea leaves are grown in the shade, which results in increased chlorophyll levels, turns the leaves a darker shade of green, and causes the production of amino acids. These altered growing conditions result in matcha having a sweeter taste than normal green tea.
I like to use the brand Do Matcha for my matcha green tea, and I can't look at the tin without singing the song "Du Hast" by Rammstein and subbing in Do Matcha for the words – therefore that is now the theme song for this ice cream. (I hadn't seen the video for this song until now, and the masks are super creepy. If you watch this before bed, sweet dreams :S)
- 2 frozen bananas
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
- 1/2 cup chunks of coconut
- 1 big spoonful of raw honey
Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. You may have to stop the blender often to get rid of air pockets that form around the blade. You can also add small amounts of almond milk to help it blend more easily.

Birds and Climate Change
The Audubon Birds and Climate Change Report is a first-of-its-kind study that predicts how climate change could affect the ranges of 588 North American birds. A product of seven years of research, the report calls upon three decades of citizen-scientist observations from the Audubon Christmas Bird Count and the North American Breeding Bird Survey to define the ideal "climatic range" for each bird species—the range of temperatures, precipitation, and seasonal changes each needs to survive. Then, Audubon scientists mapped where each bird's ideal climate range might be found in the future as the climate changes.
The results are shocking: Nearly half of the bird species in the continental U.S. and Canada are seriously threatened by 2080, and without action, many are at risk of extinction. To view interactive future range maps for the 314 most at-risk species, visit audubon.org/climate.
On a local level, the data pinpoints 92 "climate-endangered" bird species that occur in Washington state that may lose 50% or more of their habitat by 2050, according to the projections.
Audubon's new science sends a clear message about the serious dangers birds face in a warming world. Protecting them will require both redoubling conservation efforts to safeguard critical habitat and curbing greenhouse gas emissions. To learn about ways you can help in your own community, take the Audubon pledge to help build a brighter future for the 314 birds at risk at audubon.org/climate.

Beyond the 'Bot: What Really Goes into Cobot Implementation?
Mar 8, 2019 3:58:00 PM
Cobots are taking the machining world by storm, with demand growing by more than 40% annually. The futuristic Cobot "arm" is becoming more widely recognized, but what else really is needed to take a Cobot out of the box and into common applications like machine tending?

Introducing Fusion Cobotics: Helping Machining Operations Improve Productivity!
Mar 1, 2019 4:01:00 PM
Fusion OEM, a leading manufacturing and machining services partner in the Chicagoland area, is branching out with the introduction of Fusion Cobotics. The new venture officially "opened its doors" this year, with the expressed mission of helping the many CNC machining operators in Northern Illinois leverage the incredible technology of cobots. Cobots are becoming much more common in a variety of production applications, and CNC machine tending is perfectly suited for the safe, reliable and flexible efficiency of the cobot. Cobots differ from traditional industrial robots in that they incorporate onboard safety measures that allow them to be in place, side-by-side, with human counterparts. In a machining environment, that means that the Cobot "worker" can work simultaneously in the same work center as a skilled machinist performing setup and checking part production.

Manufacturing 2025: How America is Back in Production
Jan 25, 2019 4:00:00 PM
It's no secret that the United States' once prominent and thriving manufacturing base has suffered over the past 4+ decades, as global competition eroded American competitive advantages. However, as global standards of living have improved and thereby increased the cost of overseas manufacturing, American manufacturers have embraced technology to regain competitive position. This adoption of automation, robots/cobotics, and data analytics have combined with manufacturing-friendly governmental policy to spark growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector. So what are these technologies and what do they project for the manufacturing sector at the quarter century milestone of 2025?

The Cobots are Coming! How Cobots are Expanding the Manufacturing Workforce
Jan 19, 2019 4:00:00 PM
Old science-fiction movies and even Saturday cartoons (The Jetsons, anyone?) used to portend of a future where nearly everything was done by a robot. While the world hasn't quite made the leap all the way there (yet), robots and artificial intelligence are definitely playing a bigger part in modern industry as well as ordinary day-to-day activity. With these advances, concern has arisen in some areas that robots will eventually eliminate jobs and work, leading to perpetual unemployment for wide swaths of the population. The reality, however, is that the opposite has proven to be reality.

Young Athletes™ is designed for children, ages 2 to 7, to focus on fundamental skills that will help a child improve physically, cognitively, and socially. Activities include games, songs, and fun with siblings and other children. Through practicing sports skills in a one-on-one environment, our Young Athletes gain motor skills like balance, flexibility, strength, and coordination. In fact, in a recent study, children with developmental delays who participated in a structured 8-week Young Athletes™ program showed significantly more motor development than those who did not participate. Not only that, but their teachers and parents also reported improved confidence, language skills, and social skills. Another benefit was families played more together at home and in the community!
Parents, siblings and other children without intellectual disabilities are welcome to join in the fun and participate in a Unified environment helping to encourage an inclusive community!
1) With us during our Spring or Fall Sessions!
2) Start your own at home, in your community, or at your school!
The Young Athletes Program is turnkey and user-friendly. If you're interested in launching your own local Young Athletes Program, please contact us. We can work with you to secure resources, materials, and equipment. Young Athletes can be done in schools, in our home or at a local park or community center!
ALL athletes (new and returning) need to submit the YA Registration Form. If you do not consent to Emergency Medical Care, please complete the Emergency Medical Care Refusal Form (must be completed by a parent or guardian). Each athlete is required to submit this once per calendar year. For a paper application, please contact us at email@example.com or call 215-671-5063.
Programming for 5-10-year-old children: In addition to traditional Young Athletes, which is designed for children ages2-7-year-old, we are also offering program options for children ages 5 – 10 at available locations. These are sports introductory sessions meant for more developed Young Athletes before they are able to enter into our community program, or for those 8-10, in addition to joining our community program.
Please do not commit to a program if you are unable to make at least 6 of the 8 sessions. If that is the case, let us know of your interest and providing there are spaces open in the class we will permit your child to join anyway. If a family joins and their child does not attend 6 or more sessions and/or does not give ample notice to the lead volunteers, this will be cause for the removal of your child from the current program. They will be welcome to join again in the future.
There are two forms that parents/guardians will need to fill out for their child before they can participate – the YA Registration Form. If you do not consent to Emergency Medical Care, please complete the Emergency Medical Care Refusal Form (must be completed by a parent or guardian). These will be emailed out to confirmed participants. Spots are limited and will be given on a first come first serve basis.
Please do not commit to a program if you are unable to make at least 6 of the 8 sessions. If that is the case, please request to be placed on our backup list. You will be contacted in the event that there are not enough volunteers on any given day. Additionally, please let us know if you're interested in being a lead volunteer.
If you are interested in volunteering for any of our programs, please contact us to begin the volunteer registration and background check process. All volunteers will be required to create a volunteer profile with Special Olympics PA that will include a full background check. For any volunteer who has lived outside of PA within the last 10 years, you will also be required to conduct an FBI Fingerprinting. Once you are confirmed for a location we will provide you with step by step instructions on how to complete the background checks.

Howdy folks,
Back after another long break. I'm really not very good at this whole blogging thing. It's been pretty rough with everything that's been going on. But since my project at work is now largely behind me, I should hopefully be able to spend a bit more time here.
As you might have read in the last post, I took part in a Paleo Food Challenge along with a bunch of people from Village Crossfit. As I predicted, it wasn't fun a lot of the time, but I have to say, I was pretty surprised at the results.
I'll be honest, during that period, I was not very good about making working out a priority. I was traveling a lot, and I didn't get my act together to sign up again at Crossfit Mobile (partially because I started working a midnight-noon shift that didn't jive real well with their class schedule). Regardless, I should have done more. However, I was pretty good about sticking to the diet rules.
I think I should probably take this opportunity to share my personal philosophy on paleo. I figure I follow it about 90%. I skip the processed food, the cereals, the grains, the dairy, etcetera. However, I will still use a condiment like ketchup or mustard, and I don't insist on organic, free range meat. While I'd believe that eating grass-fed beef is probably better for you, I also would like to spend some of my free time NOT at the grocery store. Also, when I would go out to eat (as I did a fair amount while working out-of-state), I just could not bring myself to be the guy asking the waitress if the salad dressing contained any canola oil.
Anyway, at the end of this challenge, despite the reduced gym schedule and less healthy food, I still lost 10 pounds. I couldn't believe it when I stepped on the scale. And while I was happy to see that result, I was also a little disappointed. I guess I was hoping that all this healthy eating was a load of hooey, and that it wouldn't really make a difference. Wrong. Also, when I went on a little binge afterwards (burger, shake, queso, mmmm), my body let me know that it didn't appreciate the sudden change.
So I think that from here on out, I'm going to try to maintain the paleo lifestyle 5-6 days a week. I may have a beer after a rough Wednesday at work, and I might go to a Thursday happy hour, but I am going to try to maintain the gains I've realized. And to keep me honest, I went and got a body composition test so I can check in a month or two to see if I can still improve. I'm a huge nerd, so having numbers that I can through into a spreadsheet and create graphs is a huge bonus for me. Oh, and I've also signed up for 5 days a week at the gym for the month of May. I'm sure it's gonna hurt, but let's see where I end up June 1st.

On Tuesday, November 27th, the members of the Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency Committee will review the latest steps in crafting a comprehensive transportation program for Treasure Island, which is expected to see an influx of thousands of new residents and workers starting in mid-2021 when new buildings open.
A comprehensive program supporting sustainable transportation choices:
The innovative package has features including:
- required purchase of an integrated transit pass that covers all of the transit modes that TI residents and workers will use on a regular basis, including Muni, AC Transit, and Ferries
- improved equity for low-income residents, with a 50% discount on monthly transit passes for residents of Below Market Rate housing and for low-income workers, plus toll credit for frequent transit use
- new bus, ferry, shuttle, and bike share services to improve connections to/from the rest of the world, and from homes and offices to transit
- support for current residents transitioning to the new program, with $300 per month for the first five years, phasing out in the sixth year
Rather than asking residents, workers, developments and employers to have to cherrypick which transit services they might want to use, and buy multiple tickets or passes for each color vehicle, the program bundles the logical set of services into one understandable transit package usable with Clipper.
For an island with limited road access and an easy-to-reach transit customer base, the tolling proposal is an even stronger incentive to use nondriving options than the growing regional network of managed lanes. Tolls are proposed to be charged for passenger carpools and motor cycles, but transit vehicles, shuttles, vanpools and bicycles would be exempt. Â The price at launch is proposed to be $3.50 peak, $1 offpeak, and $1 weekend.
December decisions
TIMMA board members are the members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, with a special role to focus on Treasure Island, authorized by custom legislation allowing the City to charge the tolls and invest the funds in transportation services for TI residents, workers, and visitors).
After feedback Tuesday morning, the program will be brought back to the board for approval in December 2018.  Tuesday's meeting is scheduled for 11:00 AM, Room 250, San Francisco City Hall. You can send comments or questions to  firstname.lastname@example.com.
A model for the future?
This innovative and comprehensive program can provide food for thought and inspiration for managed lane programs being crafted in San Mateo County for 101, and for the broader decongestion pricing program that San Francisco is starting to contemplate. Â
The program doesn't just charge for driving to discourage traffic congestion, it reinvests the funds into a packaged suite of mobility services and equity programs, so that people of all income levels who choose not to drive can make those choices conveniently and affordably.

Half a percentage point separated the first and second place teams at the Thursday, March 8, Island Bridge Club competition. The Sue Collinson /Barbara Besse team took first; Michael and Sandy Lindheimer came in second.
The third-place team of Joe Ashcroft and Molly Whalen — enjoying a brief break from their college faculty responsibilities off Island — were only one percentage point out of second.
Again this week six and a half tables were in play.
The ACBL-sanctioned Island Bridge Club duplicate competition is held Thursday evenings at 7 pm at the Up-Island Council on Aging in the Howes House in West Tisbury. Players needing a partner should telephone 508-693-3758 by noon on Wednesday for assistance. The cost is $5 a session.

In attempts to squeeze out the last remaining days of summer, I have been reflecting on some of the ultimate yummies of summer produce. One of these is, of course, tomatoes!
As a child, I remember watching the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and being fascinated with the concept. Despite growing up in the lower Midwest (U.S.) where both southern and northern cuisines influence what is customary to eat, I didn't hear of fried green tomatoes until Hollywood re-popularized the concept via a movie title.
Being naturally inquisitive about food from an early age, I was eager to try them. Although I can't remember when or where my first taste occurred, I do remember my response to them was not favorable. In fact, I thought they were terrible! We didn't fry a lot of food in my family, but it wasn't as though the concept was completely foreign.
Later on in life while living in Atlanta, I finally had a taste of what fried green tomatoes are most likely suppose to taste like. Usually made with cornmeal or a mixture of it with flour and often with buttermilk and/or butter, a well made fried green tomato is a savory addition to a meal or as an appetizer.
However, implications related to consumption of fried foods, likely ones I don't need to ramble on about, and potential challenges to those with certain dietary restrictions may put these savory little slices off limits.
Therefore, I sought out to play around with these boogers to see what I could come up with. Turns out, pan-seared in coconut oil is not half bad. It's certainly not the rich, savory flavor that a battered and fried option might provide, however, it's much better with regards to the smoke point and nutritional quality for the oil. Using this method also presents a great time to play with spices, such as a little smoked paprika, black pepper, and quality salt.
Regardless of seasoning (or not), something about the green tomato and it's slight tart consistency paired with the richness of coconut oil really works. I definitely recommend it. I know some have sensitivities to coconut oil or just want to use a variety of options in food preparation and, therefore, I would also like to try other options with higher smoke points. (See note below about oil quality and smoke points).
Most likely a garden, farmer, or farmers market will have the best organic green tomatoes. I'm definitely an advocate of food sourcing from these options when possible and seasonal shopping usually saves $$$. Although mid-summer months are typically the primo range for tomatoes, the later days of the season should still provide some viable options.
To recap,
- Find some great organically sourced green tomatoes, local if you can.
- Play with spices/seasoning and oil options.
- Slice and pan sear until lightly browned on a low-medium quality pan, such as cast iron (pictured). I also recommend heartier slices of approximately 1/2″ wide.
In the spirit of "Live Healthful", I welcome any other tips for using green tomatoes in a "not so fried" way.
***Essentially, hydrogenated oil use should be avoided and good oils should be used in cooking according to their appropriate smoke point. Typically coconut oil or certain tree nut options, such as macadamia or walnut have higher smoke points. Rotating out options is a great idea for balance of related nutrient intake and variety of flavors.

Virginia Jan 22, 2018 – Amtrak and General Dynamics are working together to upgrade our public transportation and national railway with private funds. This is a continual task and part of the every day affairs of providence that govern our economy.
In reading todays godless international mason organized crime news in various categories attempting to interpret the work of God and taking the credit for the good God does, it is important for me to let citizens know that the whole mason game is over.
All mason news and international organized crime news attempting to award billion dollar contacts to their members is false and Amtrak news on the Internet or in other venues is only a small part of lies told by supporters of a president and masons who were arrested in 2011 and brought up on charges of murder in every degree, mass murder, genocide, child and human trafficking, ritual murder, drug trafficking et al…
I have to write like this because we are still in a POTUS Donald Trump media holocaust and emergency around the world.
In every country masons kept poor areas states and regions filled with people and did not as a whole of men desire to find solutions for. Therefore investing in the states kept poor by masonry is as important as keeping our national railways safe and maintenanced with new technology upgrades and cosmetics that do not cost a lot of money and also making travel by rail more safer, affordable and enticing.
I traveled the country by rail coast to coast more than once, upwards backwards, forwards and upside down and like national buses lines and service we have also worked painstakingly hard on making public transportation better, more affordable, more friendly and more comfortable.
The next-generation high-speed train sounds more fancy than what it will actually cost. Upgraded will be the equipment used to provide Amtrak's premium Acela Express service and all our trains including the Northwest corridor are constantly evaluated and reviewed and maintenanced.
As citizens try and pay no mind to numbers or the money and contracts you read about in the news that to me only have meaning in the private areas of finance that have nothing to do with congress or Taxes and if you get lied to and shown documentation and a conspiracy starts to prove me liar just wait it out and avoid the news all together and trust God has everything under control.
I have been at this now for more than 7 years. Everything masons and secret societies do today to discredit me bears no conscience on their mason crimes and the countless of mason murders they have committed or their mason lies used to descedit other good americans and people not given to masonry people who like myself oppose and fight masonry at every turn so you can remain living in freedom.
I can assure you masons are not getting rich by contracts through our new administration or myself in private industry no matter what they manage to write or get written inside our companies websites.
To me "billion dollar contract news" does not make the magical thinking of masonry true. In fact I have a deep disdain for this kind of news that inundates the news and somehow a mason always ends up the loser or hero of a story involving large sums of money and government contracts that do not exist.
The Northeast Corridor (NEC) is part of a multifaceted modernization program to renew and expand the Acela Express service, but entire country is important specially my states that have been assaulted by masonry more than others,
At General Dynamics Aerospace Rail Engineering Corporation of which Amtrak is great part of we are taking the necessary actions to keep our economy moving with jobs and training in Aerospace, Rail and Engineering an ever growing job sector.
All kinds of fun things are at work at Amtrak and general Dynamic involving boats, trains plains and electronics and together with technology that is going to drive our futures. At GD we are very resourceful not compromising safety to provide people with the mobility, comfort and safety in a very money conscience and wise move toward our collective futures.
Wi-Fi access, personal outlets, USB ports and adjustable reading lights at every seat together with enhanced food service and a smoother, more reliable ride is a standard at Amtrak. Improved comfort and continually making things better is our mission at General Dynamics Aerospace Rail and Engineering.
The Acela Express service is as popular as ever, with many trains selling out during peak travel periods.
The upgrades to the Amtrak system our national railway will allow for increased service including half-hourly Acela Expressservice between Washington D.C. and New York City during peak hours, and hourly service between New York City and Boston.
The Acela Express is only a name and we may change it to the Amtrak Express with a special designation.
As more people rely on Amtrak, maintenance and modernization become even more important to assuring the quality and safety of our transportation systems that meet the highest standards possible for our field of transportation in the United States, one of best, most affordable and cost-effective in the world.
By God's grace, a God's finance God's mercy and God's oversight at General Dynamics Aerospace Rail and Engineering has seen fit to help to finance Amtrak in our continuing effort to make safe the infrastructure of our national railway for all states. And when you see things like FRA's Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing program you know that God is behind these kind of things and only God could resurrect and rehabilitate such projects of enormous capacity using the labor force of millions and now private funds used for the benefit and welfare of all Americans and our national transportation infrastructure.
Amtrak is the beneficiary of finance and money received from God's Holy Spirit, the one Nation under God "Holy Spirit" through myself and then there is congress that – if it existed as the news wishes to make you think – has nothing to do it.

It may or may not work properly with the 2 leaked version of Froyo. So use at your own risk..as with anything when you are rooted....I'm not responsible if your phone crashes I have a working version of Clean Black with STOCK ICONS. Remember, all the .apks from /system/app from the stock FroYo were replaced in bgill55's Clean Black version. So what do you get? All the stock app icons...not themed at all. Framework stayed the same. Meaning you'll still have the the black bar up top. The icons on the top bar are the same as bgills version. Meaning the 3G, battery level, wifi, etc etc are the same. The pulldown menu is the same as the Clean Black version. Chaos Star on the pulldown tray is still there. Ditto on the boot animation. Menu effects are still there. (Hit the menu button from your home screen, you'll see what I mean....it jiggles ) What should I do to install this? Download the zip file provide below Place it on your SD card Install it like you did the 1st version of Clean Black Questions? Q: Is this for Clockwork Recovery or SPR? A: Both! Versions are listed/linked at bottom of this post. Q: Will I need to go back to the stock Froyo and then apply this theme? A: You can. But isn't necessary. I went back to bone stock Froyo and applied this theme and it worked flawlessly. I also restored back to the original version of Clean Black on Froyo and re-applied this theme on top of it. Again, worked flawlessly, for me. Q: HOW should I install this? A: I installed it from ROM Manager by selecting "Install zip from SD card" It rebooted, installed and worked great. Just to make sure, I went back to stock Froyo and installed from recovery (manually [holding down X and power button] and also 'Boot into Recovery' from ROM Manager. Again, worked well. If you choose to do it from the boot recovery, simply follow the steps to "install zip from sd card" then select "choose zip" and navigate to the place you put the file. Q: Any known bugs with this theme? A: As this release of Froyo is a leaked version and Clean Black is merely a theme, there may be unknown bugs that may occur. You use this theme at your own risk. Q: Why is the reboot after installing taking so long? A: Honestly? I have no clue. Most likely the phone is updating everything to work with the new theme. It took me about 2-3 minutes each time to install this version of the theme. So be patient. It may take more or less time for you, but it will eventually boot up into the home screen. Any other questions, feel free to ask and I'll try to assist you the best I can Download link: CLOCKWORK RECOVERY VERSION Team_CHAOS_Clean_black_froyov1_1_stock_icons.zip SPR RECOVERY VERSION Team_CHAOS_Clean_Black_Froyo_Update.zip Remember to rename to update.zip

Book Review - Jesus Is
Jesus is ____. How would you finish that sentence?
The subject is there, and so is the verb, but what comes next? Your answer could shed light on the path to becoming who you were made to be.
In these pages, Judah Smith fills out that sentence again and again, each time further revealing the character of Jesus. He writes as if to a friend, illustrating the importance of Christ's message to modern men and women. This is a book for new believers, for lifelong followers, and for the merely curious. Judah Smith shows us the Jesus that somber paintings and hymns fail to capture. With passion, humor, and conviction, he shows that Jesus is life. Jesus is grace. Jesus is your friend. Jesus is a new and better way to be human.
My Take on the Book
There are many books that talk about Jesus, but this was the first that really examined not only who he was, but who he is to each of us! The book was an easy read and very provocative in what it makes you consider as you read. I left reading this book feeling much more enlightened into what I believe and who I feel Jesus is for me as a person of faith. This book is for both believers and non-believers as it will definitely spark thoughts for all!

Oregon's NW Natural to Use Cow Manure for Fuel
Oregon-based natural gas provider NW Natural is launching a new carbon offset pilot program. Its focus? Cow manure. Customers can pay extra to help develop ways to trap methane gas from cow manure.
In case you weren't aware, livestock is one of the leading causes of methane emissions. Methane doesn't get as much press as carbon dioxide, but it's about 20 times as potent at trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. And it's a byproduct of ruminant digestion. And the American meat and dairy industry has a lot of ruminants out there.
(Incidentally, this is one of the many reasons that the meat industry is really not so good for the environment....)
Previous attempts to reduce livestock emissions have involved feeding them garlic or even--gasp!--a normal cow diet. But methane is, after all, a fuel... and cow manure contains it. I'm just not sure whether to file this under "crazy harebrained schemes that won't work" or "crazy harebrained schemes that just might conceivably work."

Braun And Brain Music Presents - Next Wave: Undiscovered Hits From an Imaginary Radio Station
Remember the future? When radio stations turned their back on niche marketing and began to give us listeners what we knew we wanted all along? When, much like in eras past, popular music meant quality, with something for the mind, the heart, the soul and the libido? Well, Braun and Brains Music presents - Next Wave! A compilation of hits from around the world, musically and literally. This record has all the hits, from the shit-kickin' roadhouse country of MiniMal's "Crescent City" and Aussie sensation Megan Laurie's "Light at the End of the Bottle," to the neogoth "Nice Day (For a Murder)" by Morgan and jazzy pop neoclassics like "Cystallize" by Norine Braun. And there's more . . .
And then I woke up - or did I? Today's dream can be tomorrow's reality and Norine Braun, founder of Braun and Brains Music, and the other artists on the Next Wave compilation are making it happen. This CD, twenty cuts from an international roster of artists, proves what this writer has always maintained - that there is excellent music in any and all genres. Like Mick Jagger said back in the day, it's the singer not (just) the song. Ms. Braun seems to think so, too.
Her label started as a way to promote and distribute her own music, but the mission grew. Now it is a repository of diverse talent, and, while most CDs of this type stick to one musical style and keep a local focus, Braun and Brain Music have chosen the opposite approach. "I wanted to find and promote the best in unique and imaginative unsigned music to the world," says Ms. Braun. And she does mean the world. The performers come from Sweden, Los Angeles, CA, Stillwater, MN, and Bulgaria, among other places.
The forms and styles on the record include jazz pop, goth, old school country, New Wave (Greg Summerlin), Glam rock, circa 1972 (ecb), electro pop and clash (david z, Liliput). Rock is represented by Marwood, from New York, and the dynamic power songstress Vougeot, from Stillwater, whose vocal style is an unlikely mix of Joan Jett and Kelly Clarkson.
What is the concept behind this completely diverse collection of music? "The concept is that good music transcends borders and genres," she states, "and that most people are sophisticated listeners able to embrace a broad range of styles if the songs are presented with a certain flow in mind. I treated the album with the idea of making a great mix or greatest hits yet to be discovered."
How were the artists chosen? "Given the opportunities that exist with the internet, I thought I would attempt a global approach. They were selected because the songs stand out in that they have all the elements of a great composition, such as outstanding and brilliant melodies, poetic and thoughtful lyrics, excellent and intriguing productions. The songs are brimming with intense emotional expressions, polished, heartfelt performances and authenticity. Most of all they moved me in some way." Ms. Braun runs the label with the philosophy that a collective of passionate artists can collectively get their music out into the world.
Not surprisingly, her eclecticism started with her upbringing and early exposure to music.
[Norine Braun] All kinds of music! My parents listened to old country like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, the gospel of Mahalia Jackson, Hawaiian Music, Percy Faith, Nat King Cole, and Elvis. My siblings, who were considerably older than me, were into Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Queen, Jimi Hendrix. As a kid I listened to everything pop like the Jackson 5, Anne Murray, AC DC, Connie Francis, Marvin Gaye, Donna Summer, Blondie, Bette Midler, Janis Ian, James Taylor, The Pretenders and Yaz, to name a few.
I love any and all kinds of music that stirs me emotionally. My mother told me that as a toddler I would dance and sing to the Beatles, Elvis, and the Pinnochio soundtrack. In my late teens and early twenties I was inspired by Stevie Wonder, kd lang, Joan Armatrading, Debussy, and Colin James. Currently, all the artists on Next Wave and our first compilation, The Independents , fuel the passion! I also listen to all formats on radio and critique artists. This year I was a judge for the Outmusic Awards in NYC.
[Kirby] What are the backgrounds of the artists on the compilation?
Tracy Stark has a background as a musical director, is an award winning musician and sought after session player in NYC. Dave Hart is a guitar master and all the sounds in his song are from the guitar's hexaphonic synth pick up ( a guitar synthesizer). Megan Laurie, originally from Australia, was the only person in her country to ever win the trifecta Champion of Champions. MINiMAL's Donald McCrea is the writer and singer of the group. He was formally trained as a composer and has now written more than 600 songs that have appeared on records by such artists as Maria Muldaur, Marty Balin and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen.
[Norine Braun] Primarily our focus is on the promotional opportunity of the compilation CD. We do offer consultation and direction with projects or artists. We help them define the process of recording and how to DIY. In these sessions I ask an artist to think about the following ideas when starting out on a recording project:
Design: The practical side of the great philosophical question. Who am I? In the design process you need to show people who you are. As an artist this is based predominantly on your sound, the kinds of songs you play or write, your voice, your movement and how you look. You may have a message or point of view that is uniquely yours.
Manufacturing: The album is finished, it's been an amazing experience and you are so proud and excited. Now you will need artistic and creative packaging that represents the sonar experience people will take when they listen to your brilliant earth shaking album!
Promotion: The CD's arrived and are ready for the road! You will need to consider: a website, business cards, one sheets, bios, photos, a letterhead, electronic press kits, newsletters, swag, handbills, posters, email lists, CD samplers, radio, press reviews, showcase opportunities, venues and touring.
The experience that the listener will have is one of constant surprise at the quality of music herein, even in genres and styles that one may never have thought of as having the capacity to provide inspiration and emotional substance.

Research Statement
Our research is primarily in applications of contemporary developments in dynamical systems and nonlinear dynamics to problems of physical interest in fluid and plasma physics. The particular problems we are working on include:
Nonlinear stability of fluid flows in geophysical settings. We have developed a method for separating modes of an inviscid flow with significantly different time scales while retaining the Hamiltonian structure of the dynamics. This has been applied to the description of quasi-geostrophic flows in the ocean and atmosphere. This method also promises the ability to analyze the time scales in which nonlinear instabilities develop in physical systems. We are now applying this to the description of other flows with separated time scales such as waves on interfaces and wave motions internal to stratified fluids.
Using notions of nonlinear dynamics, we are investigating the manner in which friction is exhibited by parts of a Hamiltonian system which develop on separated time scales. Characterizing the flow of information from one subsystem to another by the Liapunov exponents natural to chaotic motions and by correlation functions in phase space, we are able to determine on what time scales a system may look dissipative and possess strange attractors even though it is part of an overall Hamiltonian system.
We are also beginning to investigate the spatial and temporal scales associated with nonlinear instabilities in a continuum system such as a fluid or plasma. This is an entirely new direction in the study on nonlinear instability and promises to have direct implications on experiments done here at UCSD and elsewhere which seek characteristics of these instabilities.

Shares of Whole Foods closed Friday at $42.68 — topping the $42 per share offer that Amazon put in for the Austin, Texas-based grocery store chain.
Why would Wall Street push shares of Whole Foods higher than the offer price on the table?
Some speculated that the stock rose above $42 in anticipation that another buyer could emerge to challenge Amazon, potentially kicking off a bidding war for the 37-year-old grocery chain. The total value of Amazon's offer stood at $13.7 billion, marking the largest acquisition offer in Amazon's history.
Barclay's analyst Karen Short today noted that another offer could be placed on the table for Whole Foods, prompting her to raise her stock price target for Whole Foods to $48 per share.
According to MarketWatch, Short said that competitors will work hard to "prevent the asset from landing in Amazon's lap." Barclay's estimated that there is a 40 percent likelihood that another bidder would emerge.
Nat Burgess, managing partner at Seattle-based strategic advisory firm TechStrat, told GeekWire that there's an 80 percent chance of a competing bid.
"Amazon placed their opening bid near the top of the range given by analysts, but for strategic reasons I think they will be chased higher by at least one other bidder," Burgess noted. "The strategic reasons are that Amazon can put the other bidder out of business, and Whole Foods' investment in delivery creates an instant offense against Amazon Fresh delivery."
That raises the question: Who could outbid Amazon?
Walmart naturally comes to mind, and there's certainly no love lost between the two retail titans. Kroger, the Ohio-based grocery chain, also could make a run at Whole Foods, though its stock was torched today, dropping nine percent after the Amazon-Whole Foods deal was announced. Kroger's market value also stands at just $16.5 billion, so less than what Amazon is offering for Whole Foods.
Some also speculated that a European grocery conglomerate could come knocking on Whole Foods' door, though Amazon's growing power would make it a formidable competitor to take on.
If Whole Foods took another offer, it would have to pay a $400 million break-up fee to Amazon, according to CNBC.
"The two or three that could bankroll a competing bid are probably sitting with their bankers now, looking at antitrust options and assembling competing bids," Burgess said. "Barclays put an upside value on Whole Foods of $57, which has probably encouraged investors to bet on at least one more raise of the paddle."
Amazon's stock closed Friday at $987.71, up 2.44 percent. Its market value now stands at $466 billion, making it one of the most powerful companies in the world.
Shares of Whole Foods rose 29 percent today after Amazon announced its takeover.
Here's a look at shares of Amazon and Whole Foods over the past year.

Frequent Urination Causes And Treatment
For people with frequent urination, having a restroom nearby at a moment's notice is almost a requirement. While frequent urination is a common occurrence affecting millions of Americans each year, the condition is not considered a normal part of the aging process and often signifies an underlying medical condition that should be addressed by a physician. Though frequent urination may present differently from person to person, a general rule is that urinating more than usual for a prolonged period of time, or getting up frequently during the night to urinate, are all signs of frequent urination. This condition can also cause anxiety and stress surrounding the ability to get to the restroom on time, especially in social situations. Treating frequent urination is usually relatively simple, once the underlying cause has been determined.
Frequent Urination Symptoms and Causes
While the most common symptom of frequent urination is an increased need to urinate more frequently, other symptoms may also be present. Other symptoms may depend on any underlying issues or conditions, and may help determine the cause of frequent urination. Urge incontinence, also known as overactive bladder, is caused by sudden and involuntary contractions of the bladder muscles, resulting in a strong urge to urinate, often without warning. Other symptoms associated with overactive bladder may include passing only small amounts of urine, using the restroom more than eight times per day, or feeling like you can't fully empty your bladder.
Urinary tract infections are another common cause of frequent urination, and may include symptoms such as a burning sensation during urination, feeling like you cant' fully empty your bladder, blood in the urine or darkly colored urine and fever. If you have any symptoms that indicate a bladder infection, talk to your doctor right away to get treatment and prevent complications. Other common causes include structural abnormalities, pregnancy, prostate issues, anxiety, interstitial cystitis (chronic bladder infections) or certain vaginal infections.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Frequent Urination
Diagnosis of frequent urination will most commonly involve a urinalysis to determine whether a urinary tract infection is present, as well as other tests to determine any underlying health conditions, such as diabetes or prostate trouble. Structural defects or abnormalities, tumors and cysts are rare, but must also be ruled out if no other immediate cause is found. If overactive bladder is suspected, your doctor may recommend bladder training exercises and suggest medications that can help correct the issue.
Treatment will depend on the cause of frequent urination, and treating the underlying condition usually stops frequent urination from occurring. If a urinary tract infection is causing frequent urination, a week of antibiotics will usually clear things up. For people who have frequent or chronic urinary tract infections, antibiotics may need to be taken more regularly, or over a longer period of time. For mild cases of frequent urination caused by overactive bladder, home treatment may be sufficient to curb symptoms.
Bladder Training and Home Treatment Options
When overactive bladder is the cause of frequent urination, there are certain exercises and treatments that can be done at home to help relieve symptoms. Bladder training involves timing trips to the bathroom with increasing intervals between, doing Kegel exercises to strengthen bladder muscles and learning to control the flow of urine during urination. Your doctor may recommend these exercises and ask you to chart your progress over a few weeks to determine whether more aggressive therapy is required.
Eating a healthy diet and monitoring when and how much liquid you consume at a time are also great ways to help relieve frequent urination symptoms. Chocolate, alcohol, caffeine and even certain medications can all cause overactive bladder and frequent urination. For more ideas on how you can treat frequent urination at home, talk to your doctor.
When to Talk to Your Doctor About Frequent Urination
Frequent urination is very rarely serious, and treating any underlying conditions or making changes to diet can often stop the problem. If frequent urination is accompanied by other symptoms, a trip to the doctor may be in order. Fever, pain in the abdomen, back or side, vomiting, chills, excessive thirst or increased appetite, fatigue, discharge from the penis or vagina, or bloody, cloudy, foul smelling urine all warrant an immediate call to the doctor, as these can signify a more serious problem that requires prompt treatment.
If frequent urination lasts for more than a few weeks or interferes significantly with your daily life, even if no other symptoms are present, you may want to talk to your doctor about overactive bladder. While talking to your doctor about frequent urination may feel uncomfortable, receiving proper care for possible health conditions is important and can help avoid

Wouldn't it be nice if you could print your own money to pay your bills or buy things? Not really – think it through. What would happen if everyone had their own printing presses and printed as much money as they wanted? You guessed it – money would quickly become worthless. This is exactly what is happening to the dollar. The Fed is printing vast amounts of money to prop up our failing monetary/economic system. What is going to happen to our money? The same thing will happen as we described above – inflation will skyrocket and our money will become worthless. It's inevitable.
I'm sure that the stock market will rise tomorrow as people hail this move – we're saved! Unfortunately, this bailout does nothing to solve the massive underlying problems that are causing all of this. This is simply another symptom of the much bigger problem our monetary system has created. What will the government do with Washington Mutual? When will we reach the point that we can't bailout any more of these banks/corporations? We are rapidly approaching a cliff – much more quickly than anyone anticipated. When we fall off the cliff – you can bet that there is a plan waiting in the wings to somehow rescue us – which is what this is all about.
What is also very interesting is that you will never hear in the mainstream media how the Federal Reserve gets the money to bailout these institutions. Ever wonder why?

WOW(!!) - Fed to Give A.I.G. $85 Billion Loan and Take 80% Stake
Dr. Chris Martenson
This is an incredible turn of events. This is the biggest news of the decade.
I was not expecting this sort of activity for another year or two yet.
The Federal Reserve has bought a majority stake in a private company in exchange for cash. Where did the Fed get this cash? It was created out of thin air.
In just in the past five days the Fed has vastly expanded its Treasuries for Trash(tm) program,begun accepting equities from stricken companies in exchange for cash or higher quality assets, and now has actually bought a gigantic insurance company.
I'll let this article from the NYT fill in the details.
In an extraordinary turn, the Federal Reserve agreed Tuesday night to take a nearly 80 percent stake in the troubled giant insurance company, the American International Group, in exchange for an $85 billion loan, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations.
The Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase had been trying to arrange a $75 billion loan for the company to stave off the financial crisis caused by complex debt securities and credit default swaps. The Federal Reserve stepped in after it became clear Tuesday afternoon that the banking consortium would not be able to complete the deal.
Without the help, A.I.G. was expected to be forced to file for bankruptcy protection.
The need for the loans became necessary after the major credit ratings agencies downgraded A.I.G. late Monday, a move that likely to have forced the company to turn over billions of dollars in collateral to its derivatives trading partners worsening its financial health.
Until this week, it would have been unthinkable for the Federal Reserve to bail out an insurance company, and A.I.G.'s request for help from the Fed of just a few days ago was rebuffed.
But with the prospect of a giant bankruptcy looming — one with unpredictable consequences for the world financial system — the Fed abandoned precedent and agreed to let the money flow.
Link to Article (no additional content, I posted the whole thing)
Here's my very direct and simple thought; the US dollar is toast.
The other central banks are doing what they can to stem the tide but, mark my words, sooner or later reality will catch up and the dollar will plummet. How can it not?
Think about it...the dollar is indirectly the obligation of the US but more directly the obligation of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve now sports a completely ruined balance sheet. So you would be right in asking yourself "what does a dollar represent, after all?"
If you find yourself stumped, you will be in the company of the rest of the world. Let me put it this way, if I were a Saudi Prince I'd be asking myself, "what exactly is the long-term direction of a currency that is backed by defective loans, unsaleable assets, and positions in failed companies?"
Indeed, that now describes the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve.
I cannot state this strongly enough - the stage is now set for a major dollar collapse and whether it does or not depends completely on the behavior of non-US financial entities. The die are cast and it remains to be seen if they turn up snake-eyes or not.

Kenneth Faried, Michael Malone bullish on the Nuggets' start
The question was as straightforward as the response.
With a record of 6-6, what do you, Kenneth Faried, think about the Nuggets' start?
"We're doing better than I thought we would," Faried said. "Being honest."
The Nuggets began the day on Friday in eighth place in the Western Conference. And from an early schedule standpoint, Faried's optimism finds merit.
Seven of the Nuggets' first 12 opponents made the playoffs last season, and that doesn't take a game against Oklahoma City into account. The Nuggets also played seven of their first 12 games on the road.
Now, those opponents have only compiled a combined 68-74 record thus far, but that will change quickly with games against Phoenix on Friday and then Golden State, the L.A. Clippers and San Antonio Spurs all on the way next week at the Pepsi Center.
When their game at the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 28 ends, the Nuggets will have played 16 of their first 17 games against Western Conference opponents.
"Coming out I felt that we were going to struggle at first," Faried said. "And we've had our struggles, but we're 6-6. If you would have told me at the beginning of the season, 'Oh, the Nuggets will be 6-6 and ahead of a lot of people in the West,' I would have said 'alright.'
Nuggets coach Michael Malone says his team's progress has been good.
"We're in year one," Malone said. "I think the progress we've made in our first 12 games gives me a lot of excitement and hope that these guys are starting to understand how we need to play to become a good team, not just for today but also in the big picture."
