I'm thinking this is either Enty expressing his white male guilt over yesterday's racial controversies, or he is just punishing us. Either way, my first attempts to post this came up as Conflict edits errors, so I'm starting a conspiracy theory that Enty controls the Bloggersphere system
Thanks for reminding everyone how painfully annoying white people and their dietary restrictions can be Enty. PS- anyone else see this as an anthropomorphic version of Piper Chapman? (I used that word just for you, sandy!)ReplyCancel
And it's a Well known fact that Huey, Dewey, and Louie were based on the three evil witches in Macbeth.ReplyCancel
Thanks, BeckyMae, Heisenberg! It's almost like I watched it, but without the misery.ReplyCancel
Not to sound obsequious, but I wholeheartedly concur. The synergistic pairing of voice and appearance was absolutely phenomenal.ReplyCancel
I did hear a doctor on talk radio complaining about the self diagnosed gluten intolerant people as in people who have never been tested yet, probably not even discussed it with a doctor or allergist. He mentioned they have to scope you to get a look at your innards as part of the diagnosis process.ReplyCancel
^5. Well played, sirReplyCancel
Duck Duck Bo Buck……..ReplyCancel
I love my friend dearly, but Jesus effn Christ I hate going out to dinner with her as she had to tell every waiter/ess that she is gluten intolerant. I'm supposed to remember every single thing she can't eat.ReplyCancel
Oh, have you ever prepared geoduck, TTM? Just looking at it skeeves me out, and I'm fairly adventurous.ReplyCancel
I have not, Charlie. They're trying to sell it as King Clam round Vancouver, but the whole looking-like-a-phallic-alien thing just doesn't do it for me. Although I do like to pronounce it! Gooey duck!ReplyCancel
I just had a visit from my mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and his girlfriend. And guess what?! They're all gluten-free and lactose intolerant. One brought gluten/dairy free cupcakes for dessert. And what did I serve? PIZZA! They ate every bit of that wheat crust, mozzarella-topped yumminess *while* discussing their various dietary restrictions. REALLY?!?!?!?ReplyCancel
@Meanie I am SO proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do it!ReplyCancel
@Meanie, hang in there.

Yep and it is not pleasant 🙁ReplyCancel
Ruby and phrancophaux, I don't think celiac disease is funny.
Looked back through the thread and I don't think anyone was actually laughing at those with celiac disease either.
More like those who self-diagnose and those who seem to have everything that is trendy/in the news.
Plus the duck. There was much laughing at the duck.ReplyCancel
@Ruby, I'm sorry for your pain. Thank God your miserable mystery illness has been discovered. Please do not mistake this gentle mockery as directed at you, it isn't.
This is directed at the "trendies".
What ever is the next big thing, they have to have/do it too.
Think jey and Bey-the leather wearing "vegetarians"
The 70s had reiki
The 80s had tech
The 90s had "back to the earth"
Now, its " I'm so special… I have____( ADD, exotic allergies,etc)

Just saw this film. It was quite good. (I can't remember the last time Spielberg made anything bad, though). The acting and story was good. I'd recommend seeing it.
Just saw this film. It was quite good. (I can't remember the last time Spielberg made anything bad, though). The acting and story was good. I'd recommend seeing it.
and John Williams did a great job with teh music... especially towards the end with the clarenet concerto! jmho though (I have his autograph..)
I really liked the credits, with the signatures, very cool.
Spielberg should get a huge nod for this...
I've noticed he's into planes... first sharks, then action heros, then aliens... now planes... I wonder what's next? LOL
Here's some trivia
the JFK set was built 3 stories just for this movie... it cost $3+ million dollars!!!
I loved this movie... one of the best this year!
I haven't seen it but I seen the real life story that it is based on in the news.
An Iran man that lives in a airport for 10 years will get 6 figures of cash from the movie and he still may stay in the airport for the rest of his life. He now has his papers too.
He lives in Charles De Gaulle airport I believe, and at one point they got him to leave, but he decided to go back and hasnt been removed again.
Thanks for the review! I am a real Tom Hanks fan, so want to see this movie. I can't believe someone would want to live in an airport terminal! Oh well, no rent to worry about paying, I guess. Maybe, I should see about living at the Vancouver airport. With all their airport improvement fees, it has become a pretty "posh" airport. Certainly nicer than my apt.
- Will have to check this movie out!
I don't think eating at the airport would be healthy though...
it was so good I went and saw it again... dad took me to the late show the same day I went and saw it with Erin... it's just as good the second time around!
It was a wonderful film. I just saw it yesterday. It's a great setup to what I will see next Saturday (hopefully) with my family, THE NOTEBOOK.
The Terminal was wonderful, but bittersweet.
*spoilers for those who haven't seen it*
I thought he would really get to be with Amelia in the end
yeah... but at the same time she kept blowing him off... her loss, totally... and I think he realized that too...
Anya-I'm excited about the Notebook, too. Mostly because one of the stars, Ryan Gosling, is from my hometown. I always like to see his films.
I finally got to see this movie today and I loved it........wouldn't mind seeing it again. Tom Hanks does it all, comedy, drama, villain, leading man......I am so impressed with Catherine Zeta-Jones.......wonderful job, all of the actors in fact......see it quick before it leaves the theaters............42
Show, your take on Catherine interested me... I thought that The Terminal was her weakest performance to date... I much prefer her as a seductress (like in Chicago) or a more passionate leading lady (like Zorro!)
Toni, true, in terms of the range of characters in the past........but she always turns in solid, dependable performances.........I give her props for that......... 42
I guess I'm going to be the only one so far who DID NOT like the movie. I thought it was one of the worst picture that I have seen Tom Hanks in. I am a big fan of his I can't tell you how many of his movies I have == Splash = Saving Private Ryan = Forest Gump = to name 3. I thought the it was to corny. I know it is based on a true story, (there were a couple of cute scenes-like with the carts how he got the money to but his food) but=all in all it just didn't do it for me
awwwwwwww it was a sweet film... definately not his best... but still you can not go wrong with the team of Spielberg & Hanks!

But is it good enough to have Lindell, who signed a four-year, $4.25 million deal, kick away as far as he can as a strategy? "To be honest, I don't think so," Smith said.

The Canucks need another Scoring Winger, maybe Ryan Kesler is that guy
Thomas Drance
April 15 2013 11:38AM
Kesler played some good hockey on Mats Sundin's wing a few years back.
Dave Sandford/Getty Images North America
Shortly after the Canucks traded for Derek Roy, Laurence Gilman went on the Team 1040, and said that in his opinion Ryan Kesler had played some of his best hockey during his time in Vancouver while skating on Mats Sundin's right-wing. It was the second time in the span of a year that Vancouver's Assistant General Manager had broached this particular hobby horse, and Gilman's boss echoed the sentiment in a media availability later that day. Why would the Canucks consider moving their Selke winning two-way ace centreman to the wing exactly? Offense, according to Mike Gillis:
"To generate more offense. When Ryan is out of the lineup teams can really focus on Daniel and Henrik. To get their focus away from them - we need more offense. Derek's a really skilled playmaking centre and in different situations I can can [Kesler] moving up and down the lineup."
Lo and behold, at Canucks practice on Sunday morning, the Canucks were taking line rushes with a second line that included Ryan Kesler on Derek Roy's right-wing. Also, Alex Burrows which is a whole other story. So if we look at the data, does Vigneault's latest lineup purée appear justified? Or should the Canucks stop messing around in advance of the postseason?
Read on past the jump.
Ryan Kesler has been a centreman for the vast majority of his career. Back before anyone was sure he was a top-six forward, however, he initially broke into an "offensive role" with the Canucks playing right-wing alongside Mats Sundin and primarily Pavel Demitra back in 2008-09. Canucks fans, and team management apparently, remember that line fondly, and they were a pretty good group I suppose, but they weren't really as effective as the Sedin twins have consistently been with Alex Burrows, or even close to as effective as Ryan Kesler was the next season skating with Mikael Samuelsson and Mason Raymond...
To illustrate how Ryan Kesler has played as a winger in the recent past, I've put together a with or without you (WOWY) table using information culled from stats.hockeyanalysis.com. The table below includes the amount of even-strength ice-time in the respective samples (EV TOI), as well goals for (GF) and goals against (GA) expressed as both a raw total and as a per sixty minute rate. I then went and used Corsi - which is just the sum total of all shots attempted (so: goals, shots on goal, misses and blocks) both ways with a certain player on the ice - expressed both as a percentage (CF%) and rated per sixty minutes. I also included a Corsi For rate (CF/60) and a Corsi Against rate (CA/60) so we can see the anatomy of where play was going while Kesler was playing centre or playing with Sundin.
Here's the data:
|Kesler overall
|5353: 10
|Kesler with Sundin
|365: 01
So first things first: the notion that Ryan Kesler is a more productive offensive player when he plays the wing is only partially corroborated by the underlying data. On the one hand, the Canucks scored goals at a slightly higher rate with Kesler playing on the wing at even-strength, but the difference between the team's offensive output with Kesler overall and with Kesler on the wing is in the hundredths. It's negligible.
With Kesler on the wing alongside Sundin, the Canucks attempted nearly five fewer shots per sixty minutes than they have with Kesler playing mostly at centre over the past six seasons. While that might, in part, be team effects (the 2008-09 version of the Canucks weren't the offensive juggernaut the team became in 2009, nor the quality puck possession club the team became in 2010), the fact remains that the evidence on Kesler driving offense better as a winger is mixed...
Maybe the Canucks have some proprietary data that indicates otherwise, in fact, I'd wager they do since the "Kesler on the wing" thing appears to be a Laurence Gilman special. Also, there's no denying that Vancouver's power-play took a major step forward before the 2010-11 season, when Kesler bumped up to join the first unit as a winger. Perhaps that plays into this evaluation as well...
On the positive side of the ledger: it's possible that with Ryan Kesler's speed and shooting ability, he could theoretically get more opportunities to cause havoc and create scoring chances on the wing. The Canucks definitely do need another scoring winger, and maybe Kesler is that guy.
However, there's an opportunity cost incurred by bumping a dominant two-way centreman - though in fairness, injuries have prevented Kesler from really performing that way this season - out of the pivot spot. Do the Canucks really have the depth down the middle to play Derek Roy and Ryan Kesler on the same line? Andrew Ebbett will lineup as a third-line centre against Nashville on Monday, but he's probably the team's fifth best centreman (behind Sedin, Kesler, Roy, Lapierre and probably Schroeder too). I'm skeptical that Ebbett would last long in the top-nine against a playoff opponent with anything resembling forward depth...
What this comes down to, in my view, is what the Canucks think they need more headed into the postseason: a scoring power winger, or a two-way ace centreman in the top-six. Generally speaking, I don't see Zack Kassian as ready to play a big role on a good team yet. If he's not ready to be a top-six winger, then tapping Ryan Kesler to be that guy, especially because Derek Roy is a really solid two-way, top-six centreman, could make some sense.
Vancouver does have a few options beyond Andrew Ebbett for a third-line centre too: they can call up Jordan Schroeder and play him against soft competition (which he proved able to handle this past season), or they can roll with Maxim Lapierre in their top-nine. Lots of fans aren't convinced that Jordan Schroeder is big enough or experienced enough to handle postseason hockey, but I'd argue that he proved himself a legitimate NHL-caliber player this season. In fact, I wouldn't hesitate to describe him as one of Vancouver's 12 best forwards...
My overall assessment of trying Kesler on the wing is that it's worth a shot if you think you really need an additional top-six winger, which I'd argue the Canucks do. If that's the motivation here, I can get behind that. If it's just an experiment to see if perhaps Kesler can work as a winger situationally, however, then it's too cute by half and a bit of an odd diversion for a club that has gone through a lot of turnover - with injuries, guys returning from injuries, and a big trade deadline acquisition - and should consider prioritizing "familiarity" and "chemistry" down the stretch.
I've long believed that Kesler would shine on the wing with the right play making centre. In fact IMO the piece that was missing last summer long before a Garrison was signed was a play making centre. Thank heavens they may get around to what at first glance was obvious. It doesn't mean that Kesler can't be the down low coverage in his own end. In fact the Canucks basically play like many teams the first forward back becomes the centre any way.
Nice to see a decent face off man now that kesler is back
Good post overall. It will be interesting to see what happens with this particular juggling. I do, however, think that your comparison to the effectiveness of Kesler, as a winger with Sundin to his overall time as center is a little misleading. I don't think there is any doubt that Kesler has evolved as a much more potent offensive player in the years since his time with Sundin. So that might weight the stats a bit.
It may have been more relevant to compare his stats with Sundin to his stats without Sundin during the same season. Can you do it, Thomas?
If you're planning matchups for the postseason, Burrows-Roy-Kesler might be the best defensive line we could put together. If the original plan was to have Roy as the defensive centre, they might've worried about him losing all his d-zone faceoffs to guys like Kopitar. This line would match the best offensive lines pretty well and allow you to shelter a Schroeder line, if necessary (but can you win a cup sheltering your 3rd line?).
If you don't have faith in Roy as your defensive centre, you'd have to match Kesler's line with the best and obviously Kassian couldn't handle that.
How important is chemistry over the next few games given that this group has been together so long? We only really have to bed in Roy, on whichever line he's going to play on. With Higgins injured, he wasn't going to get a chance to do that anyway. Come playoff time, if these lines have success, I'd expect Burrows to move back to the Sedin line and Higgins to take his place with Roy-Kes.
I don't particularly like this move as I don't think having an AHL centreman on your 3rd line is conducive to success. And despite your praise of Jordan Schroeder in this post, his NHLE's with the Wolves (and production in 30 NHL games this year) are at the level of a mediocre 4th line C. At 5'9 with poor faceoff ability and limited PK use, that's not an NHL player, at least not this season. He may make the jump to a 3rd line C next year but I don't think he can contribute yet even if his positioning and defensive play are solid, which they have been while he was with the big club.
Kesler to the wing tells me two things about how they view the lineup right now: 1) they don't think that they have enough depth on the wings with Kassian struggling and Booth and Higgins injured to be able to roll 3 lines and attack, and 2) that deploying Derek Roy in a primarily defensive role is a waste of his offensive abilities. Yeah, Roy could be a great acquisition and produce more than he has in the tiny sample of games he's been here, but giving him an OZone start rate of something like 40% is like buying a BMW to go off-roading. You got yourself a really good model, but at the end of the day it's irrelevant because you're not using it properly.
I think this move and the resulting impact on the roster really shows that Mike Gillis' biggest mistake on deadline day wasn't not trading Luongo, but it was not acquiring a Boyd Gordon or a Marcel Goc or some other NHL body that they could plug in to a regular bottom-6 role. Unless he too becomes Derek Roy, the Canucks aren't going to win the Stanley Cup with Andrew Ebbett playing significant minutes.
All this being said, a healthy group of wingers with Higgins and Booth both in the lineup make this team a legitimate contender in my view. Unfortunately, I don't know if that's possible this season.
I think this decision, like a lot of decisions made by Gillis/AV since June 2011, is basically to add more flexibility. I can see the appeal of getting Schroeder in the lineup in situations where the other team plays power vs. power and (Higgins/Raymond)-Schroeder-Kassian play against 3rd liners, especially since the Sedins have been good at taking on tough competition this year.
April 15 2013, 12:45PM
Until they can ice a legitimate 3C that can eat up tough minutes against the opposition's top lines, the move to the wing should wait. As you've pointed out before, Kesler is at his most deadly when he can feast on the soft underbelly that is exposed when opponents focus their checking line on the Sedins and the Canucks have their own checking line to handle the heavy lifting against the other teams' top line. That rules out Schroeder, so leave Roy on the 3rd line and give the lines some time to gel before the playoffs...
I liked Schroeder with Raymond and Hansen when they played together for a bit. Play them soft minutes and spread the tougher minutes b/w KesRoy line and Sedins.
Sedins - Burrows Higgins - Roy - Kesler Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen Weise/Pini - Lapierre - Kass
Doesn't look bad at all on paper.
It's also worth nothing that after playing with Sundin, Kesler famously set up a net in his backyard and was shooting ~300 times a day the following off season. He went from having an okay shot to one of the hardest in the league, which obviously makes it hard to determine his capability as a winger as we haven't seen him in that position since this dramatic change in his ability.
Thom - My point is that given his production at the AHL level, I think it's unreasonable to expect real significant offensive contributions from Schroeder this season. Because of that, he gives you pretty limited value at the NHL level this season. I don't think the team can really go anywhere with Schroeder playing a 3rd line role unless he experiences a Kadri-like explosion in on-ice shooting% or something similar.
I don't think we need Schroeder to put on an offensive show, as long as he is a plus possession player, the synergy of Roy and Kesler may be worth the tradeoff of having a rookie in the 3C spot.
And the translation of success at the AHL level as an indicator of success at the NHL level hasn't exactly been reliable either.
April 15 2013, 03:03PM
Okay. let's wait out this latest experiment.
After that, how about playing Roy as the 2C, being a real playmaking C, with skilled wingers who can score (Raymond & Booth when healthy and perhaps Kassian for now). Then Kesler can be the 3C or 2D (as in D for Defensive 2nd line C) with Hansen and Higgins. They can shut down the opposing scoring lines while still having a scoring touch.
That Roy was played as defensive centre boggled my mind all along. He's the best playmaking centre on our team not named Sedin.
April 15 2013, 03:05PM
But what it basically boils down to, is that management failed to acquire that Top 6 Winger like Clowe who is both physical and can play. And potentially a 3C, although that would have been hard cap space wise.
@Thomas Drance
Given how poor Kassian has been of late, I can't argue with you there. Although I'm still not sold on Schroeder being able to win 7 games worth of matchups against Krueger/Bolland, Stoll/Richards, Berglund/Sobotka. I just don't think he's good enough at this point in time.

Castle Dale City Council held its monthly meeting Nov. 13 at City Hall. Mayor Neal Peacock called the meeting to order at just after 7 p.m. Don Riddle, Emery, volunteered to open with prayer followed by the pledge of allegiance led by Mayor Peacock. Members of the council in attendance were Brad Giles, Doug Weaver, Dan Whiteleather and LaMont Gordon. One councilman was excused due to his working out of town.
The first agenda item was the adoption of minutes from the previous months meeting. After corrections by Giles and Gordon, the minutes were accepted.
Ramal Jones, Castle Dale resident, asked for a home occupation business license for a business he runs in Salt Lake City. Jones plans to do the record keeping from his home here, so under present statute, he needs a business license to do part of the business in his home. The council discussed the issues and councilman Weaver asked Jones if he had read the stipulations in the present business license ordinance. After discussion, the council moved, seconded and voted to issue this business license.
Mayor Peacock asked if there was any business from the public. A Castle Dale resident addressed the council with further discussion of a complaint that was brought to the meeting in October. He stated that he had conversed with the individual about the complaint of noise and traffic congestion and the individual had agreed to comply. Council members discussed ways to prevent this problem from arising in the future.
The first agenda item was city business to appoint a new fire chief. Due to the absence of the councilman in charge of the department, the item was tabled until December.
Mayor Peacock introduced the next item which was changing the night of the councils meeting. He stated that because of another commitment that will begin in January, he would like to ask if the night of the week could be changed. All the council members gave input as to the night that would best serve their individual needs. The consensus was that Thursday night would best meet the needs of all the members and the staff. The motion was made to designate the second Thursday of each month as the night to schedule the council meetings in 2003.
Castle Dale City is in the planning stages of adopting a new ordinance to cover the issuance of business licenses. Carolyn Jorgensen, city treasurer, explained that the 30 page sample ordinance that each member had been handed was supplied by Glen Vernon, Fairview City Planner. This is the ordinance in force for another county in the state in which the population is much bigger than in Emery County.
The council members went over the sample ordinance packet and discussed the items that needed changing, eliminating or rewording to best meet the needs of Castle Dale City. Peacock asked councilman Weaver to rework this sample ordinance and be ready to distribute the modified ordinance for further discussion to the council at next months meeting. A motion was made to look at the modifications and set the public hearing for this ordinance change be set for January.
Giles was the first to present his report. He reported that Tom Maier and himself had investigated a property and found no basis for the complaint about garbage. Giles also reported that he had addressed two other residents concerns and was taking the necessary actions to correct the problems.
Councilman Weaver was next to report and he stated the search for a city attorney was ongoing.
Mayor Peacock asked Jorgensen to determine the number of water shares and let the council know a solid number. He then led the discussion of the order of occupancy for the Division of Workforce Service building.
Maier asked Peacock to notify residents of the necessity of removing their cars and RVs from the parking lanes in the city streets to accommodate snow removal for the upcoming winter season.
Councilman Gordon next scheduled a date for the Castle Dale City Christmas Party for Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m. Gordon also brought the mock up of the proposed road sign to be placed on Highway 10, along with the cost and variation choices. He also reported that the pool had been closed for the season.
Council adjourned into executive session and made no further decisions. The next scheduled meeting for the Castle Dale City Council is Dec. 11 at 7 p.m.

The pits. Everyone always wants to know about the mud pits. They want to know how it felt to search through the dark for a hidden location and then climb down into a muddy hole in the earth, the size and shape of a grave, and go to sleep for the night. Patience. First I had to dig it.
The first step was to find a good location. One of my teammates picked a spot surrounded by fallen trees. My first thought when I saw it was, "that's the perfect place to hide a scout pit." My second thought was, "wait, if that was my first thought, it'd be the first thought of someone searching for it." I then realized that I had to dig my secret den of sleeping in plain sight. That was, until I realized that I'd thought of that idea second, and so would someone hunting me. In fact, maybe someone looking for me would be so sure I'd never fall for hiding my pit in the obvious place that the obvious place was exactly where I should dig. Soon this lead to the inevitable game of, "clearly I cannot chose the glass in front of me." At last I split the difference by finding a spot in a fairly open clearing with enough saplings protruding from the ground that there was just barely enough room for a person to fit between them. More importantly, it would be hard to imagine that someone could fit between them.
I started by carefully clearing away and saving the top layer of decaying leaves and twigs. They were going to be the camouflage I would use to rebuild the forest floor as it was. Then I started enthusiastically carving out the dirt beneath with my small shovel. I had known we'd be traveling some distance to the site of our hidden camps and so I opted for a collapsing german army shovel. I think it cost me about $25 at a military surplus shop. The little green tri-folding tool took some serious abuse without complaint. One edge was serrated, which was perfect for cutting through the tough layers of roots near the surface. The front came to a point, and I could use that to hack at the thick clay to loosen it up before shoveling it out. Unfortunately, despite all of it's great features, the shovel could not escape its tiny size.
After six hours of furious digging, pauses to pant and stare blankly at the ground, mad, aimless stabbing at dirt, ceaseless sweating in the rain, and general psychological mayhem as I forced myself time and again to keep digging, I still wasn't done. I just couldn't move enough earth with that tiny shovel. It didn't help that I'd also come across a number of massive rocks. I'd had to use a whole slew of levering and digging and tugging tactics before I could heave them out, their resistance stubborn and unrelenting until the last. It was like trying to get my housemate Dhruv Bansal out of bed for a morning game of squash. Actually, in both cases pouring water on them helped to some extent. So did yelling.
Graham emerges from one of our scout pits
The class had to continue, so in the end we compromised. Our team of four joined forces the next morning to finish two scout pits and we rotated nights sleeping in them. I was really disappointed in myself for not having been able to finish one completely solo, but the massive blisters on my thumbs and palms (in rock climbing we call them "bloody flappers" when they reach that point) were enough badges of honor to justify moving on to the next challenge.
As it turns out, the scout pits were really comfortable. The walls weren't wet and muddy, but solid and cool to the touch. The thick layer of dirt on top was enough to stop water from getting in and acted as insulation. There was plenty of room and maybe it was because I live with six housemates already, but the guests didn't bother me. There were only a couple of large spiders, crickets, and beetles that decided to wander through my crude door to join me and none of them had any intention of harming me. I actually enjoyed having them around. It made everything feel more authentic somehow.
In the morning I climbed up out into the early morning light, the dewey ground and the smell of the damp leaves all around me, feeling very woven into the woods. I felt refreshed and exhilarated. I wasn't a stranger wrapped in plastic, I was alive and a part of it all.

I think there is much tha Kurama could show/teach Naruto. Imagine if they get past this battle, and Naruto can freely give chakra to anyone he wants to. BTW he should hurryup and share Chakra with Gai (the guy is very useful, no pun intended).
I can see how Naruto could easily grow into a Sage of six paths as he develops and ramps up his physical life giving energies, but he still lacks the spiritual element, and I am not a fan of NaruSasuke fusion.
Perhaps the SO6P's prophesy regarding Naruto as a successor can be fulfilled without the need for him to complete becoming a Sage of six paths. All the Sage said essentially is that the Bijuu will be inside someone else, and that he would guide them to a better path.
BTW, Unless there is a Fragment of the Ichibi still inside Gaara, then somehow, Naruto mayl have to enter inside the Juubi and break off the piece needed.

By Brendan Conway
John Bogle Sr., who via Vanguard Group built the first retail S&P 500 index fund, is often called the father of indexing. He is also the father of mutual-fund manager John Bogle, Jr., whose path has been somewhat different.
Bogle Small Cap Growth (BOGLX) is a quantitative mutual fund. It tries to beat the index through stock selection. The fund's 140 or so holdings include Genworth Financial (GNW), Santarus (SNTS), Western Refining (WNR) and Taser International (TASR) at last disclosure. Morningstar says its portfolio turnover is 288.9% and its expense ratio an "above average" 1.35%.
Morningstar downgraded its rating on the fund to "silver" from "gold." As Russel Kinnel explains today:
Bogle Small Cap Growth (BOGLX) looks strong on two key fronts. For one, lead manager John Bogle Jr. has 25 years of experience in quantitative investing, first at State Street Global Advisors and Numeric Investors and then at his own firm, Bogle Investment Management, which he launched in 1999. And unlike most quant fund rivals, this fund's process has helped it recover from the 2007-09 bear market more quickly, helping it generate more-consistent outperformance versus its peers and the Russell 2000 Index. That said, it hasn't fared as well on a risk-adjusted basis compared with Morningstar analysts' favorites in the small-blend category, which triggered a downgrade in its rating to Silver from Gold.
"Silver" is a better rating than the fund gives itself. "In this year's self-evaluation of our firm and investment performance we give ourselves a C. Our grade would be worse were it not for consistently positive relative performance over the last eight months," reads the fund's annual report.
Bogle Small Cap Growth posted a strong 2012 by rising 25.96% after falling 4.94% in 2011. Year to date it is ahead by 7.39%.
Twelve years back, Financial Advisor magazine profiled Bogle Jr., giving the manager's thoughts on indexing:
"Soon after I learned the mechanics of running index money, my future partner, Langdon Wheeler, persuaded me that there were ways to exploit areas of the market with quantitative strategies that would add value," says Bogle. "To me, that was more of a challenge than running an index fund that would track a benchmark very closely." Bogle left State Street in 1990 to join Wheeler at his quant shop, Numeric Investors.
How did dad feel about the change of focus? "Quite honestly, it was my father who suggested I pursue quantitative investment management because he felt it fit better with my personality and orientation," says Bogle.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hello Everyone
These past couple days I have been thinking a lot about returning to FFXI,
but here's the thing... I want to start from scratch and re-experience the game
from the beginning!
In saying this I am going to start a Linkshell, and look for like minded adventurers
who want to start from the beginning and play through all the content together.
My hope for this Linkshell would be to return to old school leveling parties, opposed
to gusgen mine powerleveling, or abyssea powerleveling. I will be looking for a good
group of people that enjoy grouping with others to pursue an overall goal of the Linkshell,
rather then trying to just satisfy personal ones.
If this idea picks up some steam, I will make a website for us and a poll as to what server
we are going to roll on, as well as setting up a poll to determine what days/nights would be
best for the Linkshell to progress through story content.
Any questions, please reply to this forum topic!
p.s Sorry if this post seems rushed or poorly constructed, I admit that I am an awful writer :-P
I went back a few months ago and the game was great but had the same problem, nobody my level to play with.
I'd love to be able to group up with a bunch of equal-level people and do leveling the way it was meant to be.
WHM or THF are my 2 favourite jobs to play.
awesome guys it's starting to seem like there may actually be an interest in this!
I will work on a website/forum for us later this evening and post the link in this thread so people can start signing up, and introducing themselves and what jobs they would like to bring to the table, as well as a more in depth look at what I hope for us as a Linkshell.
I will also include a poll concerning what server people would like to roll on as well as what nights are best for people to get together for group nights. (everyday should be group days :-P but these are nights where we get together and focus on story/artifact/relic/dynamis ect...)
As long as ya plan on ignoring Abyssea and not powerleveling through that, sign me up.
I would be up for some RDM, MNK, or DRK action. Hell, i'll play anything.
Edit: Thursday evenings would work great for me, getting excited now.
Originally posted by cyberchip
I'm getting pretty excited too. I've got the game redownloading as I type this.
Heh, I also got my download going in case this gets off the ground.
excellent everyone my download is pretty much done at the typing of this!
For those who have abyssea powerleveling concerns, I want to make it known to everyone, I want to bring back
oldschool xp parties!! Meaning lvl 1-10/11 will be the only solo levels, then we move to the dunes and so on.
At 18-20 we group up and hunt down our own subjob items, no high level killing stuff for us, we travel together to Jeuno for the first time for our chocobo's (well if we so choose :-P)
right now in my head I see it as the first couple months grouping, and leveling mains/subs and fighting some low lvl nm's for gear, and doing quests/story missions. I hope to do this progression based, so we will focus on our nation missions til rank 10, then move on to zilart, and so on.
For those worried about abyssea, abyssea is an end game eventuality, but I don't want to use it as a powerlevel area. I want to do what it was ment for, killing the zone nm's, taking out the Caturae, and then ultimatly downing Shinryu, that is it!
p.s website will be up later this evening/early tomorrow!!
ok here is the website, please forgive me as it is just a shell of what it will be.
I will be putting more time into the site throughout tomorrow, and up to the actual creation of the LS this Thursday.
In the meantime, all those interested in this endevor, feel free to sign up, and fill out an application (It's open admit, just using it to tally how many people are interested on the site) and feel free to introduce yourselves on the forums, as well as what job you most prefer playing.
awesome! Looking at the response I have gotten in this forum already I feel this will be a success
Like I stated, I will be handing out pearls on Thursday afternoon Eastern time, and hope to take our first group of adventurers to the dunes for the first LS XP party.
This interests me also - however I am waiting for ARR but would love to experience FFXI all over again. But I am GMT timezone and I find it difficult getting on at same time as other players etc. Just wondering if this would be worth my time or not?
You guys got a time slot you are thinking of playing mainly?
Good luck avoiding abyssea I really hope you can do. Also even if you can avoid it good luck avoiding fields of valor. Though nowhere near as fast as lvling in aby it is still a lot faster than leveling the traditional way. Oh and even the traditional way isn't traditional because everything is double xp now.
The good news is you won't have any issues competing for camps. The whole idea sounds good but I have met a few LSs that have tried to do the same and it's hard to keep people away from aby or FoV once they've tried it. It is just too fun and too fast and allows you to do so much more than just xp all the time.
But just curious what server are you guys on? I wouldn't mind joining an old school xp party now and then just for fun. You're not opposed to level sync are you? Cause if you go that far it's gonna be near impossible to lvl.
Hello everyone
Good to see this forum is still gathering attention!
Few things, for the person that mentioned something about gmt times, I usually play online games with a friend in that time zone (5 hours ahead of me) and never really had too much of an issue. I would like to imagine that if we continue growing and fill in multiple time slots there will be people on all the time for people to group with.
As for abyssea and FoV
I know those will always be tempting for leveling groups. I will not tell people they can't do it, but I would like to give oldschool playing a try, and give it an honest go. FoV I don't mind running, if we are in a 6 man group doing it right, not 18 man alliances in gusgen killing page 1 over and over from 12-30.
p.s pearls will be handed out in bastok tomorrow around 2 pm est. I will be making a post here, and on our forums about it.

If so, a career as an invasive cardiovascular technologist may be perfect for you!
Invasive Cardiovascular Technology at a Glance
Looking for a quick overview of the Invasive Cardiovascular Technology program? Take a look at Invasive Cardiovascular Technology at a Glance for a short summary of what an invasive cardiovascular technologist does and the degrees and certificates El Centro offers.
El Centro's Invasive Cardiovascular Technology Program
The Invasive Cardiovascular Technology program, one of three specialized imaging health programs offered through El Centro College, is a challenging, multifaceted course of study designed to produce well-trained, highly qualified medical professionals.
Graduates of our Invasive Cardiovascular Technology program consistently perform above the national average on the national board exam. In addition to being prepared to take the registered cardiovascular invasive specialist board, our program graduates are automatically awarded the limited medical radiology technology credential by the Texas State Board of Health.
What Does an Invasive Cardiovascular Technologist Do?
Invasive cardiovascular technologists work in cardiac catheterization laboratories assisting cardiologists to perform complex diagnostic and interventional procedures.
Diagnostic procedures include intracardiac pressure and electrical system assessments, intracardiac blood oxygen saturation determination, vascular angiography (both cardiovascular and peripheral vascular) and measurement/calculation of cardiac function indices. Technologists may also assist in invasive intervention procedures, including intravascular angioplasty and stent placement, cardiac valve repair, congenital (birth) defect repair and cardiac pacemaker insertion.
Also called registered cardiovascular invasive specialist professionals, they assist in all phases of the catheterization procedures, including preparing the sterile procedure field, inserting equipment, operating electronic instruments and calculating diagnostic data acquired, and applying interventional technologies as required.
Invasive Cardiovascular Technology Degree and Certificate Options
El Centro College
The Invasive Cardiovascular Technology Associate in Applied Sciences degree requires two years to complete. Training in both classroom and clinical settings will prepare you to work as an invasive cardiovascular technologist and includes techniques used to diagnose, treat and follow up cardiovascular disease.
In the associate degree program, the first year consists of the Invasive Cardiovascular Core Curriculum. Enrollment at this point is open, so you'll need to apply only to El Centro College; no specific program application is required. Once you have completed the Invasive Cardiovascular Core Curriculum and any other prerequisites, you may formally apply to the ICVT program via a competitive selection process.
The Invasive Cardiovascular Technology Advanced Technical certificate is a one-year program in ICVT training for people who have previously earned an associate degree in a designated allied health field or in nursing, or a bachelor's degree with a major in a science discipline.

BLM Issues Guidance on Uses of Railroads Rights-of-Way Land
WASHINGTON , D.C. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) today issued guidance to its state and field offices on how to evaluate activities on thousands of miles of public land that was granted to railroad companies as rights–of-way under a 19th century law. BLM land managers will use the guidance to determine whether the lands are being properly used under the law.
The General Railroad Right-of-Way Act of 1875 (1875 Act) granted railroad companies a 100-foot right-of-way (ROW) on public land on either side of a railroad center-line with exclusive right to use as much of the surface and subsurface area as needed to further the business of the railroad. Thousands of miles of 1875 Act ROWs are estimated to exist on public land in the western United States.
If an evaluation under the new guidelines determined that an activity served a railroad purpose, the BLM would take no action and the activity would continue without BLM oversight. If, however, an evaluation found that an activity does not serve a railroad purpose, then the activity would require BLM authorization under the Federal Land Management and Policy Act or the Mineral Leasing Act. The BLM would work with the railroad or whoever is undertaking the activity to determine the appropriate process.
Activities authorized by the 1875 Act that serve a railroad purpose include: telegraph, telephone and fiber optic lines that provide for both railroad and commercial communications; warehouses that provide for receipt of freight by the railroad while also providing other retail services; transmission lines that provide power to the rail line and commercially; and station grounds, maintenance yards, and related improvements. While not directly related to the operation of trains, these activities are nevertheless necessary for railroad business.
"These evaluations are important because the BLM has the responsibility as a land steward to ensure that public lands are managed in a responsible way," said Steve Ellis,BLM Deputy Director of Operations. "And because each activity has a unique situation, the evaluations will be done on a case-by-case basis."
The guidance was issued through an Instruction Memorandum (IM) following the Department of the Interior Solicitor's legal opinion about activities within the 1875 Act ROWs. That opinion, issued in 2011, says that a railroad's authority to undertake or authorize others to undertake activities within an 1875 Act ROW is limited to those activities that derive from or further a railroad purpose. The IM replaces interim direction on the Solicitor's opinion that the BLM issued in December 2011.
Once the IM is issued the guidance will trigger formal review of all pending proposed projects within an 1875 Railroad ROW. Formal review and evaluation of the use will be evaluated for all proposed projects on public land to determine if the use derives from or furthers a railroad purpose. Currently, the BLM has one application pending for evaluation of the use in Southern California known as the Cadiz Project.
The BLM plans to publish a notice in the Federal Register asking parties undertaking activities within the 1875 Act ROWs for information about the activities. Parties will have 180 days after the Federal Register notice to let the BLM know about the activities, after which evaluations will begin. You may read the IM by clicking here: http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/regulations/Instruction_Memos_and_Bulletins/national_instruction/2014/IM_2014-122.html.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

The Ethics of Aid
Every six weeks, we convene as a staff and talk about ideas for shows for the next two to three months. We're never lacking in ideas, but finding knowledgeable voices that can carry an hour conversation takes some effort. One of the subjects near the top of our list is the ethics of global aid, particularly with Zimbabwe's recent crackdown on CARE, a multi-national, non-profit organization fighting global poverty.
For me, the subject came to the forefront while reading Paul Theroux's challenging, insightful travel account in Dark Star Safari. After serving in the Peace Corps in the 1960s, he revisits Africa and sees a starkly different and yet an eerily similar continent. He's pretty hard on charitable aid organizations and missionaries, to be sure, and wonders — well, actually posits — whether good intentions have led to an industry that needs to sustain itself in order to carry on its business model:
"…this was the era of charity in Africa, where the business of philanthropy was paramount, studied as closely as the coffee harvest or a hydroelectric power project. Now a complex infrastructure was devoted to what had become ineradicable miseries: famine, displacement, poverty, illiteracy, AIDS, the ravages of war. Name an African problem and an agency or a charity existed to deal with it. But that did not mean a solution was produced. Charities and aid programs seemed to turn African problems into permanent conditions that were bigger and messier."
Theroux's idea that aid and missionary organizations might actually undercut the stability and long-term efforts of people they are trying to help is challenging. The spot of "tough love" seems to be drenched in the hard-nosed, pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps mentality that I often experienced growing up in North Dakota. I cringed initially. But, some germ made sense. Although I'm not in Africa, I face these tests while walking to work in downtown St. Paul when the same destitute man regularly asks me for five bucks. When do I become that microcosmic institution?
Where is that line and when do good intentions steal a struggling people's identity, raid an individual's sense of resourcefulness and pride? When do others who prosper have an obligation to intervene and help those who can't help themselves because of forces beyond there control — political regimes, long-lasting droughts, diseases, etc.? Who are some of the wise voices you're reading and hearing about that are immersed in this struggle that can speak personally about these situations?

Saint Swithin's Day
On this day in 971 CE, the relics of the Bishop of Winchester, Saint Swithin, were entombed in Winchester Cathedral.
