Rest in Peace Paul BearerPhoto courtesy: WWE
By Kevin Hunsperger
@kevinhunsperger & @my123cents
I was saddened this morning to learn that William "Paul Bearer" Moody had passed away. Just the other day I watched a bit of a shoot video with him and Jim Cornette. Just 48 hours ago, fans on the My 1-2-3 Cents Facebook page brought up the idea of Bearer return to Raw with the Undertaker.
I know he'd had some health issues over the years, including morbid obesity and surgery to help correct that problem. He also had gall bladder trouble. Sadly, his body has given out and a legend is gone much too soon.
Rick Rude & Percy Pringle
My first memories of Bearer date back to his days in World Class Championship Wrestling. He was the rich and pompous Percy Pringle or Percival Pringle III. Pringle managed guys like Matt Bourne and Buzz Sawyer, but I think his most notable charge was an up and coming "Ravishing" Rick Rude. Pringle played his role well, interfering in his men's matches and leading them to gold. Rude was the World Class heavyweight champion for quite some time and many of his wins came after Pringle got involved. I still remember when my favorite Kerry Von Erich was wrestling Rude for the title and Pringle whacked Kerry with a cane and allowing Rude to score in my mind the biggest upset of the year.
I was happy to see Pringle make his way to the WWF in 1991. He had a new look and sound, but continued to put his expertise on display. As Paul Bearer he managed the Undertaker for years, taking the Dead Man to new heights as well. When he turned his back on 'Taker at SummerSlam 96 and aligned with Mankind fans were shocked. A year later when he brought "his son" Kane to the WWF, Bearer helped breath new fire in his story against the Undertaker.
Through the years in WWE, Bearer had many men in his stable. I think his pairing with Undertaker is my obvious favorite, but I enjoyed the work he did with Kane too, especially early on. His talk show "The Funeral Parlor" was also memorable with his unique voice and macabre look. While the show wasn't my favorite of all time, it certainly was memorable and found its niche on Superstars. The Ultimate Warrior being locked in the coffin was probably the most infamous angle done on that set.
Kane and Paul BearerPhoto courtesy: WWE
The last time we saw him on WWE TV I believe was when Randy Orton put him in a freezer last year leading up to Kane's match with Orton at Wrestlemania. I think storyline wise this was the third time the character had been killed off. It almost seemed to be a rib that the mortician kept dying on TV.
I asked our friends on the Facebook page today to share their favorite memories of Paul Bearer. Here's what folks are saying. Thanks for reading, and Rest in Peace Paul Bearer.

DENVER – Legislators deadlocked along party lines Tuesday on whether to audit Secretary of State Scott Gessler, who is accused of misusing his office's funds.
Gessler already faces a criminal investigation from the Denver district attorney and a probe from the state's Independent Ethics Commission. Records show he used part of his office's $5,000 discretionary budget to attend Republican events, and twice he claimed the balance of the fund for himself at the end of the year.
Sen. Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton, wanted the State Auditor's Office to examine Gessler's budget after the first two investigations are finished.
"It never hurts to have another eye looking at the issues. And, yes, there are two eyes, but this will be a third eye," Tochtrop said.
But the Audit Committee deadlocked 4-4 on party lines on whether to approve the audit, and without a majority vote, the audit can't proceed.
Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, said the Legislature shouldn't spend $100,000 for an audit of a $5,000 fund.
"It is hard not to look at this from the point of view of piling on, and I have a serious concern about the use of taxpayer's money. It is not a cost-effective way to deal with this issue," King said.
Tochtrop said the principle is more important than the amount of money that might have been misused.
"It lowers the public trust of elected officials when discretionary funds are used for partisan purposes," she said.
Gessler was happy with the outcome.
"The fact is, all of my expenditures are publicly available so spending $100,000 of taxpayer money to review that information is wasteful. I applaud the Republican members of the committee for recognizing that these taxpayer dollars could better be used on moving our economy forward," Gessler said in an emailed statement.

Skip to comments.Obama calls for raising minimum wage to $9 an hour
Posted on 02/12/2013 9:07:11 PM PST by Olog-hai
President Barack Obama wants an increase in the minimum hourly wage from the current $7.25 to $9 by the end of 2015. Obama also proposes the minimum wage be required to keep pace with inflation.
The proposal, which Obama made during his State of the Union address Tuesday, is sure to draw opposition from business groups and congressional Republicans who say higher rates increase costs and reduce employment.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
That will do wonders for the employment situation.
He knows it will never pass.
All it was about is showing that he cares for the little guy (while he is busy actually enslaving him).
This will bring us a lot closer to $5.00 a gallon gasoline and the $10.00 Happy Meal — not to mention more expensive motel rooms. Businesses that employ minimum wage workers will either shut down, or jack up their prices. Generally that means retail stores, gas stations, motels and restaurants.
Why not $25/hr or more? Wouldn't it be great to have a president who has actually worked a real job in the real world?
Jumping the min wage to $9 per hr would be inflation on steroids
If $9/hour minimum is good, then $50/hour would be great! Right?
Why $9.00 an hour. If your into this minimum wage thing and you think it really matters go for $20.00 an hour.
Oh hell, just make it $38 an hour and make it equal to welfare payments and all the other crap.
No wait, that is tax free stuff. Never mind. They won't work for $38 an hour if you give 'em welfare better make it $45... that'll fix it.
" Not since FDR has there been a president more at war with business than Zero. "
Obozo's attitude is that we don't need no stinkin private biznes...Communisim do be da peoples biznes.
Marxist/Leninist life for all, with an onion in every pot.
"President Barack Obama wants an increase in the minimum hourly wage from the current $7.25 to $9 by the end of 2015. Obama also proposes the minimum wage be required to keep pace with inflation."
This is the same federal government that has fraudulently manipulated CPI reporting to conclude there is no inflation, when in fact inflation is presently running at more than 10% per annum.
For discussion of how the federal government manipulates the CPI reporting see
This is insane.
Make the mimimum wage $100 per hour and overtime after 5 hours a day.
The stock market bears little relation to business. Large institutional traders are not necessarily on our side. Many large business are on the dole and get favors from government to limit their competition.
Wouldn't it be great if we had a president who wasn't a communist fool and servant of the devil?
Still not done putting Americans out of work.
I would love, love, LOVE for the GOP in the house to pass a $100/hour minimum wage bill. Then when the Senate and President oppose it, just run on that:
The Republicans wanted to give you a $100/hour minimum wage, but the Democrats said "No!". The Democrats say they are for the working poor, but when the bill came to them, they turned you down.
Make the Democrats try to explain to the "low information voters" (i.e. stupid people) why they voted it down.
and all the happy little union elves dance their jig.
because they will demand raises if the lowest skilled workers get an increase.
"President Barack Obama once to Federally bar low skilled workers who cannot yet produce more than nine dollars an hour worth of labor from any employment whatsoever."
"The stock market bears little relation to business."
As I have said for some time now...It is no longer your father's stock market.
It is computers doing the "pump and dump" scam, much to delight of Soros, the Hungarian, and his ilk.
I hate AutoCorrect.
put the working poor into the highest tax bracket!
ha, flat tax.
The Illinois governor wants the minimum wage at $ 10.00/hr. If he succeeds it will just put some more kids on the streets, especially from minorities who in turn will peddle dope and when things dont work out they just shoot up the place and each other and once again we will have Chicago in the lead with the murder rate. And what will they do next? Scream their bloody heads off that we need stricter gun control.
President Barack Obama wants to Federally bar low skilled workers who cannot yet produce more than nine dollars an hour worth of labor from any employment whatsoever.
There...corrected for autoCorrect....
President Clueless.
Here in North Dakota, you can't get anyone to work for only $9/hr.
Actually poster that is not to far off.
If they raise the minimum wage to $9 or $10 an hour but do not adjust the tax tables then more lower income people pay taxes. Couple that with a reduction in the work week to increase over time and suddenly a lot more people become tax payers
Of course inflation rises but then the low income people simply ask the government for help which because it is now taxing a greater percentage of the population it can give.
In a sense so tax reforms could go for this as it is a way to spread the tax base to the stupid. If done as a one time deal it would effectively debase the currency which would then stabilize at lower level. So $10 an hour would equal $.50 an hour before but now the $.50 an hour workers would pay income tax.
But I doubt Obama is smart enough to have figured that out
I wonder, if Boehner had the balls to force through the House a bill raising minimum wage to $100/hr, what would the Democrat Senate and Obama do with it? Stand with greedy corporations to deny working Americans a "living wage," or pass it, knowing the unemployment rate would go to 95% in less than a month?
You can tell they're not too upset about that. In the the name of helping the poooor, they price themselves out of hiring very many entry-level workers.
9.00...OK, but why stop there, now that the rules of economic forces no longer apply to the economy...
So how does this guy, and Dems generally, draw so much corporate support?
Hey, lets raise minimum wage to one million dollars an hour! We will all be rich?
What could go wrong?
What makes you think the dems wouldn't vote for it? When companies start laying off it'll be the corporations' fault.
don, not long after Beck's TV show started some black guy suggested giving everyone a million dollars.
Why $9? Why not $15? Or $25?
I know, let's make America a country of millionaires and make the minimum wage $250/hr!? I mean, why should lawyers get that much money when a moron who dropped out and can't sweep floors DOESN'T!?? After all, fair is fair!!
Republicans have an opening here. They should introduce a bill to raise the minimum wage to $50 an hour, then accuse the Democrats of not wanting working people to have decent wages. The Democrats will be forced to explain why raising it that high will kill jobs. then they've made our argument for us. Meanwhile, the GOP makes the Democrats look uncaring nad unfeeling (which they are.)
Well, I don't know about you, but I am so relieved that when this passes, people will have enough money to pay their astronomical Obamacare health care cost increases.
Who dares say that Obama is not a genius at these things
Wow, he wants to pay as much as Walmart.
This really benefits the business owners. Obmacare increases their costs per employee, but raising the minimum wage raises the cost per employee. Oh wait, it doesn't benefit them. Well, I guess they will have to lay off more minimum wage people.
"Marxist/Leninist life for all, with an onion in every pot."
And NO MEAT with that onion, comrade! (Borscht, you can have/s;)
No minimum wage, abolish all workplace safety laws, allow employers to hire whoever they want regardless of sex, and religion or color. Abolish workplace harassment laws and affirmative action programs. That'll fix the economy.
I can't pay for 0bamaCare on $9 per hour. Better make it $100.
China doesn`t think so. Watch the outflow of manufacturing to that country if obama/soetoro gets his way.
While avg. middle class America sees a reduction in yearly salaries.. Just 'leveling the playing field' I guess. Illegals from Mexico are on their way!
Zer0 is another moron utopian Harvard Socialist Utopian clone.
Obama is like a kid that stole his mother's grocery money and spent it on candy and soda for his pals.
They all love him and think he is a great guy.
Meanwhile, his mother had to buy food for the family on credit with no way to pay it back.
I do not share your belief in Wall Street. The stock market has been happily sucking on the teet of Free Gov't money and it will not stop soon. It may go down like it always does after he speaks to make adjustments, but it will soar again. The stock market priced in gold however, ouch reality. Wall Street has a big interest in Uncle sugar's monetary policy. Maybe you will be right, but the stock market has been disconnected from our economy and every other country's economy for some time. It only makes minor adjustments to major shifts. Crony Capitalism Alert. Correction... President of recovery illusion alert.
I agree. It's to keep the "regular guy" (uninformed voter) on his side. Many businesess already pay $9.00+ per hour. They have to because they're competing with unemployment benefits and entitlement benefits.
what if they call your bluff and pass it?
It's all "smoke and mirrors."
$9.00 is not $9.00.
An employer also has additional costs that come with that figure.
An increase in the employer's Social Security matching payment.
An increase in unemployment compensation costs based upon payroll to the state and federal government.
An increase in workman's compensation costs based upon payroll.
A decrease in net profits of the business.
An increase in the costs of doing business.
And, depending on the state, a whole host of other increases in cost of doing business.
You can bet that $9.00 will turn out to be over $15.00 per hour after all of the smoke clears.
I own a small business and I can tell you that any increase in the minimum wage is a Fascist move by the government to trick the population paying more taxes through an increased wage structure.
The "icing on the cake" is that higher employee costs does not help minimum wage workers.....it get's them fired!

Caption: Lovely rainbow yesterday. Today, while out on a CrimeWatch Patrol, we got dumped on by hail. And fork lightning. Neither are common in Auckland. There was hardly any wind and the cell stayed over us all afternoon. But, interestingly, 400 metres along the road from where these were taken there was no hail. The shots were taken on the patrol car camera.

Bauke Mollema seized first place in stage 17 of the Vuelta a Espana, but Nibali remains in overall lead.
BURGOS, Spain— Dutch rider Bauke Mollema won the 17th stage of the Spanish Vuelta in a sprint finish on Wednesday, while Vincenzo Nibali retained his overall lead.
Mollema, a 26-year-old Belkin-Pro rider, finished the 189-kilometer (117-mile) route from Calahorra to Burgos in 4 hours, 44 minutes, 28 seconds, just ahead of Norway's Edvald Boasson Hagen, who finished in the same time.
Lampre-Merida rider Maximiliano Ariel Richeze of Argentina was third in the same time.
Italy's Nibali maintains a 28-second lead over second-place Christopher Horner of the United States who rides for Radioshack-Leopard.
WARREN BARGUIL: Winner of the 16th Vuelta stage
"I am really happy, I was just thinking, 'this is my chance,' because I was up front with a small group of riders," Mollema said.
As riders began to approach Burgos, Nibali's teammate Diego Ulissi began an early charge away from the pack. But the riders soon bunched up, trying to place themselves tactically for the final sprint.
Paul Voss of Germany, riding for Netapp-Endura, broke away but was shadowed by Mollema, who then burst forward and maintained his sprint to the line.
LANCE ARMSTRONG: Judge says he had a right to lie
"The speed dropped a bit and I decided I wanted to attack then and saw there was one guy from the Netapp-Endura team," Mollema said. "So I went behind him and then really kicked off and kept it up to the very end."
On Thursday the riders tackle a grueling 186.5 kilometer (116 mile) mountain stage from Burgos to Pena Cabarga which includes three category 3 climbs, one category 2 peak and a category 1 ascent to the finish.

Quick Thoughts on the Burmistrov Rumours
Travis Hrubeniuk
May 22 2013 12:38PM
Jets fans woke up this morning to some rather concerning reports. Apparently, according to this article by Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press, Alex Burmistrov wants out of Winnipeg. Gary later tweeted stating that Alex is yet to ask for a trade, but that the current rift between him and Claude Noel is "untenable". This tells me that it is very unlikely that Burmi will sign back with the team this offseason.
Clearly Burmistrov is not happy. Fans love him, bloggers love him, his old coaches love him and he has been told his entire life how valuable he is and can be. Yet, Clause Noel and the Jets coaching staff (as far as I am aware) have a bit of an issue with the young star. We are all aware of his benching and reduced minutes throughout this last season, and Coach Noel was anything but scared of making sure he got his point across. Unfortunately this has led to a hampered relationship, and with Noel apparently sticking around for at least another year, Burmi has had enough.
Short Term Effect
If this is all true, the Jets will be losing a young, albeit rushed, talented player. Although he hasn't been outstanding offensively, he hasn't exactly been handed a huge opportunity to succeed in that aspect of his game, yet has played well in a third line roll and has very obviously talents with the puck.
Relative Corsi
Off Zone Start %
Over the past two years Burmi has consistently been a positive corsi player, despite his offensive zone start percentages. In fact, his relative corsi rating of 6.5 ranked him fourth on the team (2nd if you dismiss Anthony Peluso and Patrice Cormier) and he has a general tendency to increase puck possession while with the three players he spends the most time with (Kane, Tangradi & Antropov). Not to mention the increased GF%'s of both Kane and Antropov (admittedly, the numbers for both Tangradi and Antropov look a little screwy to me, but none the less he is an effective line mate).

Nik Antropov

Should Burmistrov leave town, the team will have a hole at the center position that needs to be filled. As I mentioned earlier this week in my piece on Kyle Wellwood, he could serve well as a third line centerman should Mark Scheifele not be ready, but it does impair the overall team talent level. It also badly limits the Jets' options for moving Olli Jokinen anytime soon, and puts a LOT more pressure on him to wake up and actually perform next season.
Long Term Effect
Long term, this could really seal the fate of Coach Noel. The Jets are not an organization that can risk losing young players, and cannot afford to gain any sort of negative image for free agents. Claude has spent time in the AHL and working with young players before so this may just be a rare case, but it is still concerning - especially when you consider how impressed Burmi's previous coaches and general managers have been. Consider this to be a big, no, a HUGE strike against Claude Noel in TNSE's books. Should Burmi leave and the Jets struggle again next year, they will look long and hard at this entire situation alongside Chevy when considering Noel's future employment within the franchise.
What Could We Get?
This now becomes the big question. If Lawless is correct in his statements that the Jets tried to move him at the deadline and were unable to, that tells me the asking price was too high for many to take seriously. When you look at what some teams spent on sub-par players, this scares me. Ultimately it will come down to what GM's around the league see in Burmi, as they now hold the position of power and have the option of presenting an offer sheet if need be. In a perfect world, I would be okay with Chevy packaging a second or third round draft pick for this year with Burmi to add another 1st round pick in the draft. Chevy needs to try to sell that Alex is still a talented young player, and that it was nothing more than personality differences that are causing this to occur.
As much as I love Alex Burmistrov and hope that this can all be fixed, it seems as if the harsh reality is coming and he will likely be on his way out. All we can do now is hope Chevy turns this into something positive. I'm already prepared to be completely disappointed.

Burmistrov+3rd for Gangner
May 23 2013, 01:52PM
Bad news. I'd rather they fire Noel and bring in Vigneault than trade Burmistrov. I seem to remember that Lawless reported some friction between Kane and the Jets last offseason, so here's hoping this is all being blown out of proportion.
May 24 2013, 12:41PM
Sam Gagner?? Man, I'd make that trade 8 days a week.
I think it probably takes more - Burmi, a 2nd, and more. It would be nice if that 'more' was Pavelec (though we'd have to keep a bit of salary), or Hainsey on a sign and trade. I can't imagine what other pieces might put that together without it getting a lot bigger.
May 25 2013, 01:05PM
Looking at the non-Jet UFAs, I like signing Stalberg and Fistric to lucrative long-term deals. Stalberg with speed and not great hands would compliment slow O.Jokinen who has more offense. Fistric seems to have upside and would be a hedge against D prospects not maturing. I would think you could get them both for
May 27 2013, 03:30PM
Here's some fun with numbers...
Take in mind the sample size is ~200 mins... Burmistrov's 5v5 P/60 when with Kane 2.09
That is more than Kane's average for this season (1.97) or Little's average for this season (2.05). Jokinen was 1.02 points per 60 mins when with Kane (sample size 472 mins).
It seems that when with Kane (ie: when in the top6) Burmistrov did pull his weight offensively... but again only 200 mins of sample size.
If you rather it this way:
In just under 201 minutes of ice time on the second line Burmistrov got 7 points. Kane in that time had 7 points. The Jets outscored, owning 70% of the goals in that time.
In over twice that time (472 minutes) of ice time, Jokinen got only one additional point. Kane in that time had 11 points. The Jets were outscored, owning 37% of the goals in that time.
Tough deal for the Jets. Three issues.
#1 A player who has issues with his coach and might cause problems on any team he's traded to.
#2 He might have been a top ten pick and might have all world potential, but so far he's only shown himself to be a decent 3rd liner.
#3 The KHL. His agent may insist he won't bolt, but any trading partner has to consider the risk.
For all of these reasons, the Jets are not likely to get a front line player back in any trade. It is rumored the Jets shopped Burmi to the Isles for Kyle Okposo and Garth wisely turned the offer down. Someone like up and oming 3rd liner David Ullstrom (along with a minor draft pick possibly) is a more likely return.
Obviously the best hope for the Jets is that they can get Burmi to stay. If he is unhappy, however, they might want to get what they can in trade and move on before he causes problems in the room.

Better Than A Chi!!!I've been straightening my hair for over 10 years and I have always bought a
Chi. The very first one I had lasted years & years.... The chi flat iron just stop working It's terrible to spend all that money and they break. Also my hair smells burnt.
So finally I said enough is enough and I went to ulta and talked to the people who cut hair & I tried every flat iron the stylist use. Babyliss and the Paul Mitchell that is grey
I couldn't believe the difference. My gosh why was I stuck on a Chi?? I was so
Amazed. Sad thing is stylist said we don't sell them here. So they tracked me one down in a salon. I did buy it and the hefty cost didn't bother me. No one even realizes that
the chi isn't the best no more. I really can't believe what a difference this flat iron
will make on your hair! Shine & softness & less time on your locks! The Paul Mitchell is by far the best. I would have tried other flat irons but not after seeing what this one does. Only complaint I have is it is hard to find to buy! My hair breaks easily and I have allot of hair.. This is really awesome! Love love it!

Almost Perfect!this flat iron delievers AMAZING results. i really hate using any other flat iron because the results are that much different. for smoothing, it does a beautiful job, hair is soft, shiny and so smooth. for curls, it is very versatile, you can twist it all kinds of ways and get different results...either way, you will have a beautiful curl that truly lasts. it makes nice waves as well...just an amazing product. however, over time, the silicone strips do start to melt kind of...i have had mine for two years and i think sadly, it is time to replace it but i will pay the money because it is so SO worth it.Apr 22, 2011KtHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

The Best Straightener I Have Ever OwnedI found this straightener at a local mall for 80 bucks and purchased it on a whim, thinking most likely I would end up returning it. Unexpectedly, this works AMAZING it now takes me about 10 minutes to do my hair when my hair use to take me around 45 minutes. I recently went back to JC Penny's to look for a new one,(The straightener isn't broken it just worries me having a straightener that is 3 years old.) and the straightener is now there for 100 dollars, which I think is still a great bargain.
I have owned a CHI, all sorts of conair straighteners, wet2straight, FHI, hot tools, and the Sedu and out of all of those this works the best.Dec 5, 2010Sarah / EarthHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

Indispensable!I've had this straightener for more than 18 months and it works just fine. Of course, with daily use and almost after two years you can't expect things to work just like they did the first day... specially with the conditions you take care of your products.
It's worth every penny. There's two of these in my house because if someone left the house with one, we wouldn't use any other flat iron except for this one. It leaves the hair smooth and beautiful and up to this day, my flat iron hasn't failed me :) I'm sure as hell if this straightener breaks after having it for so long, I'd definitely buy the same.Nov 16, 2010MHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Horrible Customer ServiceIn concept this Iron is great. That is when all the parts are in working order.
First, you can't buy replacement strips at the store, you have to order them through Paul Mitchell replacements and they are free (which is nice). And trust me you don't want to use this iron without the strips. The first time I did this, the person that helped me was very helpful and sent me several replacement strips and instructions on how to insert them within in a week.
A little over a year later I noticed I only had one left so I requested more. I received them in the same time period as the first request but I only received two replacement strips. I noticed they seemed different than the ones I received before and matched them up to the one I had left from the original iron. Definitely different both in color and fit, I emailed them to let them know they seemed different, that maybe I was sent the wrong stips? Also, I requested that they send me more than two. The response was snarky and the person told me that I didn't know how to clean my iron. Also, the person only read part of the email becuase a month later I still didn't receive more strips. I emailed them again and she claimed I never sent the email requesting more. I did, I have a copy in my outbox. She said she would send more and it's been three weeks. I spent $200 on this iron and I can't even use it without those parts!!Oct 12, 2010Angela / Oregon

Taken from NAMI Faith Net which is located HERE.
NAMI faith net is NOT limited to just Christianity. It reaches out to all faiths which include those that are not Christian in their beliefs. NAMI is an excellent resource in learning about mental illness and their literature can be used in a Christian environment. Allan
A year ago, my NAMI Affiliate applied for and received a NAMI FaithNet mini-grant. Now, with motivation and money, I needed to figure out where to begin my faith outreach efforts. I went through all training on the FaithNet website and decided to speak with my pstor. Because he does not meet with women one-on-one, I asked our NAMI president to attend the meeting with me. The meeting was scheduled three months later.
One day after a church service my friend said, "I am not coming back!"
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Because if my pastor believes people who have a mental illness are demon possessed, I am not coming back." My friend suggested I check into this further. I listened to the church video and was shocked. My friend was correct. The following is an excerpt from my pastor's video recorded message that day:
"In Africa, if somebody runs around screaming, shrieking and hurting themselves and lighting people's huts on fire, they chain them up and put them outside the city. They call it the Healing Hospital but it is actually a place where they put all the crazy people and chain them to logs. …. Why? Because they are lighting people's huts on fire and they are crazy. But the Africans don't say these people are crazy. They say they are demon possessed… I believe they are correct."
I couldn't believe my pastor had said that. I had to process this, and prayed about it for three months while waiting for my appointment. Finally, my day arrived. My friend, my NAMI Affiliate president and I met with my pastor who was accompanied by a woman staff member. We started with prayer and introductions. Then I told the pastor about the difficulty my friend had about returning to church after the offensive video comment. I reviewed what he said three months prior and shared, "I believe you were very well meaning in your presentation regarding darkness in America but you may have made an over-generalization about mental illness and demon possession. You may have been right-on when referring to some heinous behavior that would seem to have no other explanation than evil spirits. … However, those who struggle with mental illness, such as those with bipolar illness and others, often achieve recovery through successful treatment. They can live a normal life."
My friend then shared his testimony: depression at a young age; an alcoholic and drug abuser since his teens; other mental illnesses developed as he grew older and continued to abuse drugs. He became homeless for two years, was in jail, in and out of mental institutions, in groups homes, attended Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, sought a higher power after research of major religions, accepted Christ in 2003 and was baptized. He has now been clean and sober for 12 years and for the past three years had participated as a consistent church member.
My friend shared, "From my experience, meds do help the delusions and quiet things down. Prayer helps. A hellish part of the illness did not go away for years. Some people with mental illness struggle with balancing their spiritual beliefs with their psychosis. They sometimes think they are Jesus or they want to save the world, or they hear angels singing. They think about sin and guilt and pain."
Next, I let our pastor respond. He apologized. He said sometimes he speaks and it pushes people's buttons. Then, I spoke about what NAMI is, what we do to help people affected by mental illness through education, support and advocacy. I spoke about NAMI FaithNet and how we encourage faith communities to care for individuals and families facing mental illness just as they would people facing other serious illnesses. Meeting the individual's mental, emotional and physical health needs opens the door to nurturing their spiritual needs. We encourage faith groups to open their hearts and minds to being the centers of care and understanding they already know how to be.
My pastor said he appreciated our time and would read all the information and get back to me. Currently, I get involved with church health fairs to connect with congregations and educate one-on-one. Time will tell whether this one encounter made a difference in opening the mind of my pastor, but regardless, I know we made a difference that day by confronting misunderstanding and shined a light on awareness.

Shakespeare's Restless World is currently being broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Today's episode Ireland: Failures in the Present looks at the great military crisis of the Elizabethan regime.
Andrew Hadfield, University of Sussex
The situation in Ireland represented two things; one is positive, as the English see it, a great opportunity to govern a nation and to make huge amounts of money through people going over and winning land confiscated from the Irish who have rebelled.
But the other side of this situation is England's worst nightmare. The Irish are predominately Catholic, they are always threatening to unite with the Spanish and that is really what people are particularly afraid of; the fear of Irish savagery uniting with Spanish Catholicism to overthrow all civilised Protestant English values.
If Ireland was lost, there was a genuine fear that England, as an isolated Protestant country in predominantly Catholic Europe, would be destroyed and the Reformation would be still born. English independence would be engulfed by foreign powers. It is a terrifying prospect that is apocalyptic in the way that it is represented by many people.
A modern day comparison might be Cuba and the Cuban Missile Crisis. During the crisis you had the fear that there would actually be a destructive war that would engulf civilisation and you had the idea of Russian forces on America's shores. I think that is exactly how the English felt about Ireland and the Spanish, that this was a back door into England that could result in the destruction of everything they had tried to build up over the years.
I think the comparison also holds because the Cuban crisis recedes relatively quickly. What's so strange about history in this period is that after 1601 and the defeat of the Irish forces, Spanish power seems to collapse at the same time. By the time you get to 1607, 1608, things look very, very different and even the gunpowder plot doesn't make the impact that it would have done a few years earlier.

"I am always on DSW's website scoping out new shoes that speak to me. When I saw these shoes, they jumped off my computer screen! Now that I own them I see why! The shoes are gorgeous! The details are empeccable and the fit is awesome. I am a wedge wearer because regular heels are pretty uncomfortable for me; but the platform on this shoe makes it as comfy as wearing a pair of wedges. I just got them on Saturday and I haven't worn them out yet, but having tried them on and walked around my apartment with them, I am already glad I made the purchase. DSW does it again!"

Signings for the future
Jason Gregor
July 14 2009 12:39AM
Journeyman defenceman Dean Arsene signed with the Oil.
The Oilers recent signings won't win them many games next year, but they could pay dividends down the road.
The Oilers signed defenceman Matt Nickerson, chosen 99th in 2003 by the Dallas Stars, to a one-year $500,000 contract. He has a two-way deal and will get $95,000 in the minors.
Nickerson doesn't bring much offence, but it's his size, 6'4", 235 pounds and aggressive nature that they like. Nickerson spent the last two years playing in Finland for Ilves Tampere and had 15 points in 78 games along with 301 PIMs.
Nickerson has had a strange career so far. He spent two years in junior in the NAHL, then spent one year at Clarkson in the NCAA. He went to Victoriaville in the QMJHL then he went to Finland for one year. He spent the 2006/07 season in the Stars system, 13 games in the ECHL and then 40 in the AHL, but then he went back to Finland for two years.
A scout outside the Oilers organization told me that Nickerson didn't see eye-to-eye with the Stars organization, but in the last two years he has grown up and is looking for a fair shot. Right now there doesn't seem to be any room for him in Edmonton, but they don't have much depth on their blueline after Theo Peckham as far as NHL ready D-men, so Nickerson gives the Oilers some much needed depth. (Taylor Chorney is not NHL ready right now.)
The Oilers also signed journeyman forward Chris Minard. Minard epitomizes the guy who won't give up on the dream, and is one of those guys who could be a real life Rudy. Minard signed a one-year, $500,000 deal, but he has a two-way deal that will pay him a respectable $275,000 in the minors. That amount of dollars proves to me that his value is high because of what he will teach the young guys around him in Springfield.
Rob Schremp and Ryan O'Marra are two players who should watch Minard closely this year.
Minard had stops in Owen Sound, Toronto St. Michael's and Oshawa in the OHL. He spent 2003 in the ECHL, then 2004 in the CHL, then back to the ECHL for the 2005 season.
In his fourth pro season he became a regular in the AHL. After playing 33 games in the ECHL he got called up to Albany and tallied seven goals and 19 points in 37 games. The 2007 season saw him start and finish in the AHL with Lowell.
Then in his sixth pro season he finally reached the NHL, playing in 15 games for the Penguins. This past year he had 34 goals and 57 points in 54 games in Wilkes Barre and he also played 20 games for the Penguins.
In those 20 games he averaged 9:24 of icetime a game, all of it EV strength except :28 per game on the PP.
The scouting report on Minard is "good vision, hard worker, grittier than Potulny, but really needs to work on his first step." It is doubtful he plays in Edmonton, but his value will be making Springfield competitive, and ensuring that the young players have a solid role model. Minard can't take a night off in the AHL or he will never get back to the NHL, and that mentality is what the young Oiler prospects will need to see.
Yesterday on my radio show Kevin Prendergast confirmed they've signed journeyman D-man Dean Arsene to two-way deal. And like Minard, Arsene is looked as a solid AHLer based on they two-ay deal that will pay him $500,000 in the show and $170,000 in the AHL.
Arsene has been to three Calder Cup championships in the past four years, and as a member of the Hershey Bears he won two and lost one.
Arsene was an assistant captain this past year, and that was due to his leadership not his point totals. Arsene is a stay-at-home D-man, who kills penalties and blocks shots.
"His best attribute is his leadership and veteran poise on the AHL ice," said a scout.
Signing Arsene and Minard proves the Oilers want to improve the attitude within their farm system. They needed some proven AHL veterans who could lead what looks to be a very young group again this year.
The biggest hurdle many players never overcome is learning how to be prepared to play every night. Last year in Springfield that was a major problem, and the Oilers are banking on Minard and Arsene to help future Oilers understand that aspect of the pro game.
Looks like the Oilers are headed in the right direction. It would be great if the Oilers could get Talon on board then we would get a nice stable of home grown talent, the hell with the Heatly's and Prongers , can't forget Harvey(any word yet G.) Would Talon come here? I would want him on our team.

Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon? That's all I could find.
@ Sandra:
Dale Talon just fired by the Blackhawks... 7:10 AM
Good signings, the farm team needs some depth and experience. These guys might be able to wake up some of the prospects that have languished in mediocrity for too long.
I think Sandra's coment makes sense now, hire tallon!
Interestingly enough, Chris Minard's brother, goaltender Mike Minard, has played in one NHL game in his career. He played that game with the Edmonton Oilers in the 99-00 season.
Is it suggested the Oil sign Dale Talon to replace Tambellini? We recognize Tambellini hasn't done much in the off-season strengthening the Oil, but I would have thought Katz would give him a little more time.
Assistant GM or maybe consultant? I think the more hockey minds in the organization the better.
as per ESPN "Tallon had trouble recently when the team didn't mail out qualifying offers in time to a number of free agents"
"Stan Bowman has been an assistant general manager with the Hawks for almost a decade. He has been primarily responsible for contract negotiations, collective bargaining agreement issues and free agency."
So the Backhawks fire Dale Tallon and replace him with the guy who should have known the collective bargaining agreement well enough to inform Tallon that the qualifying offers needed to be couriered and not mailed.
Don't think there is anything Tallon could have done to save his job.

well what the hell did Tallon do then?
Weird. I went to high school with Dean when he played for the Regina Pats.
So don't these guys still have to clear waivers? Wouldn't Pittsburgh and Washington take back their players if they were that good?
Good to hear that we were doing something other than just waiting for Heatley.
Hire Tallon as an associate G.M.
Gregor good singings for the farm, What is this all about though Oilers set deadline for Heatley www.edmontonsun.com it's from a guy in Ottawa but I sure hope this is fact NOT fiction. Totally oposite from Barnes article from Yesturday
they signed 2 way contracts. so they don't have to go through wavers to be called up or sent down @ jeff:
@ vern: They use a formula now.
-- "The waiver status of a player is determined by whether he has a 1-way or 2-way contract." Answer: False. Whether a player has a 1-way or 2-way contract has absolutely no effect on his waiver status – it has to do with the number of years since the player signed his first NHL contract and the number of NHL games he's played since signing. In fact, there are ten (10) players who have 1-way contracts for 2007-08 and are exempt from waivers.
as per nhlscap.com

@ swany:
God I hope thats true! We have waited long enough for that guy already. I would be suprised if we didn't wait him out until october though, what other player of his calibre might we trade for at this point???

Agreed on his calibre but when does this organization grab a set of balls and tell the guy we want an answer? It's been so long that now we look second rate, we are beeing kept in the lurch in case he doesn't get his ideal location, it's horse crap time has come either come here or we will try to trade for another player, TB looks like it's in trouble again maybe Vinny would want a fresh start, but this is enough on Heatley lets just have an answer yes or no I don't care if he comes great if not so what go after someone else.

That is why the Oilers gave them decent money to play in the minors. The thinking is that could scare them off from putting in a waiver claim. And if the Penguins and Capitals wanted them they could have signed them before the Oilers. @ vern:
And Jeff is correct, the two-way contract doesn't alter whether a player is waiver eligible or not. It just affects what he gets paid in the minors compared to the NHL.
@ Jason Gregor: I heard with Arsene it was he wanted a shot at the NHL and the Capitals wouldn't give him a contract that would allow that.
Dale Tallon was reassigned within the Blackhawks organization.
July 14 2009, 11:14AM
Signing Arsene and Minard proves the Oilers want to improve the attitude within their farm system. They needed some proven AHL veterans who could lead what looks to be a very young group again this year.
And more than that, a winning tradition in the AHL can't hurt the chances of developing playoff-tested prospects who have that habit of winning.
It's about time the Oilers started taking their AHL team seriously.
July 14 2009, 11:14AM
@ swany:
I'm just happy this Heatley thing could be over soon. Doesn't Vinny have a NMC??? TB's Gm has repeatedly stated that Vinny isn't moving anyway. If he ended up requesting a trade I'm sure the Oilers aren't at the top of his list either.
These look like good moves for the Oil. They've been having minor league issues for so long now, it's good to see them move in the correct direction.
hire tallon the guy made THE biggest boneheaded move of the ages with those qualifing offers I lmao when I found out about that why in gods green earth would we want that bonehead he has messed up chicago for years to come

Are you saying they were only going to sign him to an AHL contract? That is the only way he wouldn't be able to make the team. I guess it is possible, but currently the Caps have 41 contracts.
They had room to sign Arsene if they really wanted him. I think it is more the finances that he wanted. An AHL veteran like him, who realizes the NHL dream might be done wants to get as much as possible in the AHL, and I'd bet the Caps wouldn't match the Oiler offer. And in Arsene's case an injury or two and he could get a call up with the Oilers.
July 14 2009, 06:33PM
Tambo has been on the job for a few months and people are talking about replacing him with Tallon? WTF
Give Tambollini or any other GM a 1st and 3rd pick and they'll look like a genius too. But when you or your staff screw up paperwork that will cost the Hawks an extra 4mil this year you deserve to loose your job.
Good strategic signings by the Oilers. Patience with the building, there just might be a grand plan.

A little bit of History
Blundstone's proud heritage now stretches over three centuries.
In 1853, brothers James and Thomas Cuthbertson set sail aboard the 'Corramandel' from England bound for Melbourne, Australia. Blown off course, the ship arrived in Hobart Town, Tasmania where the brothers set up shop. Using the skills and knowledge gained from the British footwear trade, James and Thomas started a business making shoes.
Around the same time John and Eliza Blundstone arrived in Hobart. John, being an experienced boot manufacturer, set up business. By 1902 his company, "John Blundstone and Son," had been formed.
In 1932 the Cuthbertson brothers purchased "John Blundstone and Son" merging their manufacturing operations under the Blundstone name. Steady expansion followed.
During the post World War II period, Blundstone was at the forefront of machine-made footwear, pioneering the development of safety footwear.
Blundstone began exporting its products in 1969, establishing itself internationally in the South Pacific, Europe and North America. Blundstones are now found around the globe.
Synonymous with elastic sided boots worldwide, Blundstone Australia sell a wide range of footwear for all sorts of purposes – heavy work, light work, hiking, playing, rainy days, sunny days, city, country... - there's a Blundstone for nearly every need!
Blundstone continues to be a 100% Australian family owned company based in Hobart, Tasmania.

Diluting education
The Mississippi Senate has quickly passed a charter school bill that, if approved, by the House, will dilute the money available for public education and set up a system of competing schools not supervised by the state Department of Education.
The latest attack on public education, led by Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and the Republican legislative leadership, came on a 31-17 vote in the Senate. Fortunately, our senator, Nickey Browning of Pontotoc, was one of those who opposed the measure.
The bill would allow an unlimited number of charter schools to be created. Only in districts with A or B ratings, such as New Albany and Union County, could the local school boards veto their creation.
The legislation creates a board, mostly filled with appointees of the governor and lieutenant governor, to supervise the schools. It would not be a part of the state Department of Education, which supervises our public schools.
Not only is the bill heinous, but it also was approved in committee after a secret meeting of the committee members with Reeves. No copy of the bill was made available to the public before the committee voted.
Reeves' brazen disregard for public openness in government is a new low point for a public official once regarded as an up and coming politician in the state. His focus on beating the drum for private and charter-school interests, instead of pushing to fulfill the state's legal obligation to pay for its existing public schools leaves us cold.
We cannot afford more schools. And we cannot afford to continue being the only state that does not provide public money for early childhood education.

An armed Lebanon man tried unsuccessfully to rob the S. Mt. Juliet Road Cracker Barrel Monday night.
According to the Mt. Juliet Police Department, around 10:30 p.m., Cracker Barrel was closing its doors for the evening. Thomas Barnes, 28, approached the front door armed with a handgun, but the manager quickly locked the door, and moved all the employees to the back. Barnes tried to still get through the door, but was unsuccessful. Cracker Barrel management called 911, and MJPD officers were able to apprehend Barnes at the Mapco Express located next door.
"It could have been a very dangerous situation," said Sergeant Tyler Chandler in a briefing posted on the Mt. Juliet Police Department website.
Barnes had two adults with him in the car as well, a male and female, but they will not be charged. Barnes was arrested and booked into the Wilson County Jail, charged with Aggravated Robbery and Theft of Property. The handgun used in the attempted robbery was stolen.

No offense your not the first I posted one to only to find out many others had come up with the same thoughts before me
No offense your not the first I posted one to only to find out many others had come up with the same thoughts before me
Pandaman FOR PRESDIENT
Nice thread amazed I haven't posted here already.
Another way to look at it is this.
If Naruto in fact is going to represent the So6P of the Naruto world today.
Instead of Itachi giving him the spirtual powers to complete Naruto, the forth hokage may have already done it.
He sealed the yang(SPIRTUAL) half of the nine tail's chakra. So when Naruto starts to fully access the fox's chakra 100% that could then be a So6P representative. He is already a Sage of sorts.
I've had this theory for a long time basically as soon we were told about the yang and yin halves of the nine tail's fox chakra.
i think its time to revive this thread with respect to the first point of naruto - senju descendent almost closing in with naruto controllling kyuubhi
As soon as most of the fox's chakra merged with Naruto he underwent a noticeable change resembling the So6P.
We also found out Naruto is a distant blood relative to the senju.
So this could mean Naruto inherits something comparable to the So6P's body and the Uzimaki clan are blessed with a long life expectancy which can be translated into strong life force energy.
He also just got a large amount of the fox's chakra which is the Yang(Spiritual) part, which is also strong spiritual energy. Also Naruto is a sage of sorts so he has sage eyes obviously not the Rinnegan but nevertheless.
So Naruto now has all the components the So6P's sons shared amongst each other from the So6P. (http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/ch...2/page012.html)
1) A comparable So6P body as the Senju clan via his lineage with the Uzimaki clan.
2) Life force energy also comparable to the one the Senju clan inherited.
3) Spiritual energy thanks to the yang(spiritual) part of the fox's chakra. Again also could be comparable back to the Jubi and the So6P.
4) Sage eye's via senjutsu, again not the same as So6P but sage eyes of sorts.
6) And finally sage chakra also via senjutsu.
Naruto isn't the Sage of Six Paths (unless he gets the Rinnegan, strongly doubt it though), but he certainly can be a Representative.
Naruto is now a fully pledged Sage on his own right.

alas i got a great proof for naruto gonna get rinnegan...
1. nagato belonged to the uzumaki clan....
nagato's rinnegan was activated when he was in a shock state.. when parents was killed..
i say if at all the sage was also from the uzumaki clan..
which means that uzumaki's clan members are capable of activating rinnegan like nagato.. probably the reason for madara to kill uzumaki's.
naruto can now perfect rinnegan either by activating himself or by acquiring it, since we have already seen nagato use it very ease..
uchiha+senju = uzumaki(SO6P) ,,
also the chakra from kyuubhi will play a great helping roll for naruto if he uses it
I think with Shisui's sharingan and RSM on Naruto we may have this a much greater possibility.
Last edited by thorofasgard13; 08-12-2011 at 04:16 AM.
Nope, Shisui's Sharingan was just a fail-safe technique. It wasn't something to benefit Naruto's own abilities, and it'll stay that way. I will forever stand by my convictions: No Bloodline Limits for Naruto! His new Kyuubi Mode is filling the "Bloodline Limit" position.Originally Posted by thorofasgard13
Naruto being a rinnegan user? Nah.
Naruto fighting the Jyuubi? Maybe. When Kushina's kyuubi was ripped out, she barely lived. This could be the same for Naruto, Although I highly doubt his Kyuubi will be ripped out.
I posted a theory on the whole Yin half sealed within the death god thing. Madara apparently can still recreate the Juubi without half of the Kyuubi's chakra.
Paulbee posted an interesting statement, saying that maybe Madara wants quality chakra and maybe he only needs quality chakra over quantity.
This could also explain why Madara grabbed the Kin-Gin bros, for he wants the mixture of Yin+Yang chakra within the Kyuubi. Since there are no current means to actually get the Yin half of the Kyuubi from the Death God.

The "ADHD Gene" and What it Means for Your Child
by Wendy Burt-Thomas
Scientists have discovered that a dopamine receptor gene may help cause Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). According to Dr Philip Shaw of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health's Child Psychiatry branch, those with a variant of the gene have a greatly increased risk of having ADHD. On the other hand, not all children with ADHD have the gene.
"This gene can be found in about 1 out of 4 people today," explains Nick Tasler, author of "The Impulse Factor: Why Some of Us Play it Safe and others Risk it All." "It's disproportionately common in kids with ADHD and those that suffer from addictive disorders."
How does the gene work?
Contrary to what many believe, production of dopamine, which regulates things like movement and balance, is actually decreased in children with ADHD. This is explains why stimulants (like Ritalin and caffeine) work well for many children with the disorder, as it stimulates production of dopamine. It may also explain why adults with ADHD have a much greater risk of abusing stimulant substances like cocaine, nicotine and methamphetamine, all of which improve dopamine function, making the user "feel better."
Interesting to note: Dr. Shaw's team found two positive correlations in children with the dopamine receptor gene. Firstly, children with the risk gene tended to be a bit more intelligent than those without it. Secondly, as they aged, the children tended to regain thickness in a once-thin tissue in certain areas of the brain that control attention, thereby improving significantly.
Understanding ADHD
"A child's cognitive skill set (underlying tools that enable us to focus, think, plan, prioritize, remember, etc.) is made up of things like auditory processing, visual processing, short and long-term memory, comprehension, logic and reasoning, and attention skills," explains Dr. Ken Gibson, author of "Unlock the Einstein Inside: Applying New Brain Science to Wake Up the Smart in your Child." "In children with ADD or ADHD, the weakest cognitive skill is attention, although other areas tend to suffer as well.
There are three types of attention that can be affected: sustained, selective and divided. In general, they are described as:
In children with ADD, the frontal cortex (surface) of the brain has more difficulty using glucose and less blood flow than in people without ADD. The frontal cortex inhibits impulses, initiates behavior, and controls working memory. When underactive, the ability to screen out irrelevant stimuli is reduced, and the individual pays attention to everything. This results in poor regulation of the motivation system and makes staying on task difficult without immediate rewards.

No. Helmeppo is Zoro's Coby. Tashigi is a female that Zoro has zero interest in to fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Zoro straight up destroys her sword in the first attack to stop her from fighting him. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks her sword without using his. Yeah, I'm underestimating her, but when Zoro's basic attack can cut a pacifista in half; of which two years ago made a challenge for a Rear Admiral, Captain Tashigi doesn't have the slightest of chance with Zoro. The only thing she had to survive from Zoro two years ago was his unwillingness to fight her, and with how sadistic he has gotten since then....
Tashigi wouldn't be a problem for Zoro. Law on the other hand would put up a better fight but only because of his devil fruit. Not that Zoro would, but as long as Zoro can remain outside Law's room, He can't be touched. Law relies too much on his room to develop a ranged sword attack(yeah, all ranged attacks he's made are do to his room's ability). Inside the the room would be a different story, but Zoro's endurance and stamina still makes him the winner being that although Law can move and teleport zoro all around the room, chances are Zoro's too tough to be cut clean through(as seen in his fight against Mihawk and Mr 1).
Now the one who I want to see fight Law isn't Zoro, or Sanji, or even Luffy. The one who I want to see fight Law is Chopper. Chopper is the only one who has no bonus over Law and thus the only true underdog against Law. Sanji, Brook and Luffy have speed and Luffy can attack at a distance, Nami and Usoppe are ranged area effect fighters, Franky is both ranged and has a stronger than steel body, and Robin has her super Shadow Clone Justu.
Dr. vs Dr.
Medicine vs Surgeon.
*This is all based on Law only being able to cut things he could physically cut through without his room power(being that's all we have ever seen him cut).

Congratulations, you have stumbled upon Oracle's newest blog: The Federal Applications Blog. Periodically I plan to provide some insight into how Oracle's application solutions are being applied, or how they can be applied, within the Federal Government.
If you are a user of, or just interested in, Oracle's applications in the Federal space and have questions/topics you would like to see addressed in this blog, please post a comment.
So bear with me as I take a bit of time to refine the content, look and feel of this blog.
