Jeremiah does refer to the written word. When you stated;
"However the context isn't about them writing the Word of God, but merely promoting their own vanities and prophets were giving false prophesies and claiming them to be of God."
that was an incorrect interpretation. Jeremiah does comment about the false prophets and their lying words;
Jer 2:8
The prophets prophesied by Baal,
Jer 5:31
The prophets prophesy falsely,
But in 8:8, Jeremiah makes it a point to say "et sheqer" the lying pen. In other places he refers to lying words, but here he specifically says a pen. By use of the waw consecutive, he ties the lying pen contextually to the torah, the written word of Yhwh.
When Yhwh gave Israel the Torah (the 10 words or utterances); Moses himself testified,
These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. Deut 5:22 KJV
"and he added no more."
Who then added the other 603?
This is the heavy burden that Christ referred to in Matt 23:13. Namely, the oral Mishpah, that would become the Torah Mishnah. It is a corruption of the original Torah given to Moses,
"Love Yhwh with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself."

Did you miss the part that Vic posted about the other meanings of sheker? By the way I have no idea what you mean by the vav consecutive.I will post you the part of the verse where it says
אָכֵן הִנֵּה לַשֶּׁקֶר עָשָׂה, עֵט שֶׁקֶר סֹפְרִים
No vav's there so I don't know what you mean about that perhaps you would explain.
The et sheker is indeed saying lying/vain or useless pen but from the context it seems to be saying the writing of the scribes was useless or in vain.
So Vic I'm curious who are these authors your learning from and where do they get there information. Secondly, how far back does his research or any of your personal research go?
after Yahushua or for you shall I say Yeshua or before? I mean what year

Hi Bill,
I believe it is imperative to always look at the context, which is shown in my prior post concerning what ch 7 and 8 were about and other passages, what was being presented previously about Israel's disobedience and sin.
And please look carefully at this, and this is totally my understanding.:
Jer 8:8 How do ye say, [God asking Israel, how can you say] We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? [He had already pointed out they weren't abiding the Law and serving Him] Lo, certainly in vain made he it; [God made the Law and it was obviously in vain or pointless because Israel was rejecting it] the pen of the scribes is in vain. [therefore, the scribes' job of copying the Book, was totally in vain because they weren't abiding it]
Jer 8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: [some were ashamed and dismayed] lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; [Israel had REJECTED the word of the Lord--- if they had changed it or made it all up, as you are implying, I think God would have said---they have CHANGED the word of the Lord] and what wisdom is in them?

In order to have rejected the word of the Lord and the law, that means it had to be there for them. Vain means more than lying; sheqer means more than lying. You have to look at the context.
Doing something "in vain" means that something being done has the exact same outcome as if it had never been done. It's pointless, or fruitless. Copying the Scriptures as the scribes were called to do, and claiming to believe and live to them was totally in vain, because they weren't living to God, but to themselves. They rejected God's word. They didn't change it, they just didn't apply it or live by it, even though they claimed to, as the related passages show.

If the scribes had corrupted or changed the Scriptures and none of it is of God, then what logic would it be, to put a verse in saying that it was all lies?
If some of it is of God, could you please tell me how we know that, and who determines what is and is not of God?
If the intent was to mislead and deceive people as you say, why would the scribes say they lied? Wouldn't that be like shooting oneself in the foot? Like--hey I planned to deceive you all with what I am writing, but not to worry, you can believe it's true.
Does that sound realistic at all?
And if they did as you say, there is not one Scripture we can claim as being of God. Because not one person would be able to discern the difference of what was given by God -- and which then the scribes allowed to exist in amongst their lies--- and what was all fabrication, Because the scribes recorded all the Scriptures. That means, we have no Scriptures. That kind of finishes the history from Creation, to Israel, to Judaism and Christianity; declaration and belief in God and certainly Jesus Christ. Because as He said,
Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Luk 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luk 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
I kind of think God is much bigger than that.
Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Rom 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? :2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Neh 9:13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Neh 9:14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
Lev 27:34 These are the commandments, which ]the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Psa 78:1 <Maschil of Asaph.> Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Psa 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Psa 78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
Psa 78:4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
Psa 78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
Psa 78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
Act 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Act 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Act 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2Sa 23:1 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, 2 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
Mat 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Mat 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Mat 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
Luk 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I didn't want my question to fly by unanswered, and I notice you responded to Mo. I would love to get into more conversation with you and Rose both, but I feel like I have to pull teeth around here to get an answer.
On a serious note, I would like to know where these authors have gathered their information, along with what information is related to what exact time, be it A.D. B.C. or whatever?

I enjoy discussing things with you though I will admit I find it hard to understand what you are asking sometimes..or you seem to refer to things which I didn't actually say so then I have to spend time looking for what it is that I was supposed to have said.
So I do apologise if some of your questions seem to have gone unanswered.Hey you have also not answered many of mine but am I complaining?
No since I do realise that you also have a life away from the PC and commitments just like the rest of us.
Additionally we have responded to a lot of your posts (my last post was to you ) and we have all been dialoguing.Some topics have received more attention than others and since we all pose a lot of questions to each other then its natural that some are going to be unanswered.
I have searched the last pages of this thread and I don't seem to have answered your question of what I call God.I don't call him YHVH since as I don't know the corrrect vowels it would be improper of me to do so since I'll most likely be wrong.
Even so His Name is not an issue with me..I call Him Father ,the same as Christ called Him Father too.
Even if I knew the correct vowel pointing I would not use that name since there are times in the OT where YHVH is used and it seems to be Christ speaking.So it's all too confusing to my human head.I have better things to worry about

I must say, I appreciate the time you took to respond to this post. I know how long it takes to do that kind of research.
I too believe it is imperative to understand the context of the saying.
How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. Jer 8:8 KJV
Sheqer (8267) is used over 100 times throughout the scriptures. It is rendered in the following ways;
false (20 times), falsely (13x), falsehood (13x), lying (22x), lie[s](28x), wrongfully (4x), without a cause (1x), deceitful (2x), deceit (1x), feighnedly (1x), prophecy a lie (1x), liar (1x), and lastly, vain (6x).
Since the definition for "vain" is to be useless or meaningless, I don't think the KJV translators made the best choice when choosing this word. Especially since the word "sheqer" is translated almost 90% of the time to mean "false" or "a lie."
In essence the translators were saying, it was useless for God to have made the Torah, because the scribes have rendered it meaningless by their rejection of His word.
You made a similar point when you said;
"They rejected God's word. They didn't change it, they just didn't apply it or live by it, even though they claimed to, as the related passages show."
I think this is why the translators of the New King James version changed the translation to read;
"How can you say, 'We are wise,
And the law of the Lord is with us'?
Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood. Jer 8:8 NKJV
They removed the word vain, making the falsehood a cognitive action reflexive upon the scribes and their writings.
You wrote (Part a):
"If the scribes had corrupted or changed the Scriptures and none of it is of God,..."
This is an incorrect statement. I never said "none of it is of God."
(Part b); "....then what logic would it be, to put a verse in saying that it was all lies?
This is an overstatement. The verse doesn't say it was -all- lies.
You wrote, "If the intent was to mislead and deceive people as you say, why would the scribes say they lied?"
I can only believe that the scribes who later recorded the accusation Jeremiah made, felt compelled to do so by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
You wrote;
And if they did as you say, there is not one Scripture we can claim as being of God. Because not one person would be able to discern the difference of what was given by God
Of course they would be able to discern, in the same way that you do. You have the Spirit of the living God in your heart! He, the Holy Spirit, is your truth filter.
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." John 10:27-28 KJV
Since no man can pluck them out of his hand, how then can they be mislead by a scribe?
Since, "...neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. [Rom 8:38-39]..how can.the lying pen of the scribe prevail?
You wrote; "That means, we have no Scriptures."
Before there were any scriptures, God credited Abraham with righteousness (James 2:23) and called him his friend, because he followed his Torah (Gen 26:5). That was about 500 years before the Torah was written.
To get back to my original point, the fact that the scribes were accused by Jeremiah of lying, doesn't surprise me since it 's common knowledge today that the Masoretes altered the vowel points of Yhwh (they lied) to deliberately hide the pronunciation of the name of God (contrary to God's command of Ex 3:15). Then they lied about the secondary set of vowel points they used to replace the original and correct rendering. They were supposed to be those of "adonai," but are not. So why should we believe that the current set of vowel points, that produce the sound "Ye ho" are genuine?
I don't.

Now that I've addressed everything in the covenant thread, I'd like to dig into this topic a little deeper. However, you seem to have your mind made-up on what the name is so I don't want to be the one doing most of the talking. I'll let that be done by you to defend your ground. Trust me, this does not mean I will be silent on the issue. Let me first offend Mr. Ginsburg study by saying this to you. The man you're learning from isn't an Yisra'elite. We should stop right there and not assume what he says to be 100% accurate. I think Josepheus taught us a good lesson in that. So let's carefully asses the information you've provided. But before we get into this I want to point to one small thing. I have never been a member of a sacred name crowd, so if they are affecting me it is indirectly through truth. The sacred name movement has nothing to do with Holman ChristianStudy Bible, which tells us his name is Yahweh, which is short for Yah.
Quote:Psalm 68:4 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)So let's revisit that point using strong's concordance, which I'm not a fan of by the way, but I'll stick with it because it seems to be something you rely on heavily. You said that Yah is short-hand for Jehovah according to this Ginsburg and strong's. Why the switch-up of the Jah to Jeh or Yah to Yeh?

As far as your offer ,
Quote: "after Yahushua or for you shall I say Yeshua"
OH by all means please don't use the made up name of Yahushua; and while Yeshua is the correct Hebrew--please do feel free to use that as the proper Hebrew- but for dialogue with me, please say the name of Jesus, which is the English name of my Lord and Savior. I speak English and there is no point mixing languages, especially with made up words not found in the Hebrew Scriptures, as it generally confuses people rather than giving any semblance of clarity. IN fact Paul said that,
1Co 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
Most readers that come to this forum are speaking english or translating from the english on here to their own language. No point complicating things for them. Thanks for offering to do that. I really appreciate it.
Quote: "Secondly, how far back does his research or any of your personal research go?"
Personally I research back to Genesis 1:1. Since God gave the historical record from that point on...however ,
Here's some information you can read and check out yourself.
Hebrew as an "original" language of the Bible did not exist prior to 900 BCE. Hebrew evolved from a "pagan" language – proto Canaanite/Akkadian and contains Greek, Egyptian, Aramaic, and Chaldean loan words and was known as Hebrew after 900BCE. Even in David's time it was not Hebrew, but still referred to as proto-canaanite by language historians and archaeologists.
manuscripts used for the KJV and earlier versions are validated by DSS fragments
Hebrew is a language that evolved historically from proto Canaanite (1400 bce) into Phoenician (1050 bce) then into paleo, middle, and late Hebrew, which finally ended up becoming the Biblical Hebrew (with vowels) that we find today in the Masoretic text. From there modern words were added, and then once again it evolved into the modern Hebrew that is spoken in Israel today.
....There is an argument sometimes presented that Hebrew is the language of God, because of an errant belief that He wrote the Ten Commandments in Hebrew with His own finger into the tablets made of stone. The Ten commandments were not written in what we consider Hebrew, and we are able to discern this due to the time frame when they would have been written. The language of that time was proto Canaanite which has been definitively established through archaeological finds.
It is theorized that proto Canaanite is the language that Abraham spoke, and the language that God may have used to converse with him. (approx 1800 bce) The Ten Commandments were given before the five books of Moses (Torah), which is dated approximately 1500-1400 bce when proto Canaanite was still in effect as a language. Other languages used by many of the idol worshipping cultures of the area were also derived from it such as the dialects of the Amorites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizites and Jebusites, and then Greek was developed from the Canaanite/Phoenician alphabet later around 750 bce. If the Ten Commandments had been written in Hebrew as we know it, then Moses and the children of Israel would have not been able to understand what was written. This is because it is a different alphabet due to the fact that Hebrew script, which is a derivative of proto Canaanite,*only came into being in the 9th century bce, a full six centuries later....

Quote:Ø Proto-Hebrew (PH). The Canaanite dialects (c.1200-1000 B.C.E.) that would develop into Hebrew with the loss of the case endings. For details see BHA phase 2. Sources - see Harris 1939, Hendel-Lambdin-Huehnergard, Sáenz-Badillos.
Quote:c) AH - Ancient Hebrew[9] - All the Canaanite dialects written and spoken in the territory described in the Bible as being settled by the tribes of Israel from about 1000 BCE until the extinction of Hebrew speech with the suppression of the Bar Kochba rebellion [132-136 AD] in the mid-second century CE (BHA phase 1 - Phase 4).
From another source.
The Canaanite languages are a subfamily of the Semitic languages, which were spoken by the ancient peoples of the Canaan region, including Canaanites, Israelites and Phoenicians. All of them became extinct as native languages in the early 1st millennium CE, although Hebrew remained in continuous literary and religious
use among Jews, and was revived as a spoken, everyday language in the 19th century by Eliezer Ben Yehuda. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaanite_languages - which was source linked to the first link written by the Jewish scholar] [/quote]
We see that Hebrew was revived as a spoken, everyday language in the 19th century by Eliezer Ben Yehuda. It is not the same as biblical hebrew.
Chaldee [Aramaic] Targums, or Paraphrases, have been written on all the books of the Old Testament ; some parts of the book of Ezra, and the book of Daniel. The line of written targums begins with that of Onkelos on the Pentateuch, about AD 150 in Aramaic. They were compiled about AD 300, the latter about 200 years after. The Bible [OT] contains several chapters of Aramaic.

Clarke focus on 40-point mark
West Brom manager Steve Clarke insists their focus does not yet extend beyond securing top-flight survival despite victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
- Related Content
Late goals from Gareth McAuley and Romelu Lukaku - after a string of saves from goalkeeper Ben Foster, including a Steven Gerrard penalty, had kept them in it - saw the Baggies leapfrog their opponents into eighth.
But while Liverpool still hold out an increasingly fading hope of a top-four finish Clarke has only one objective on his mind - for now at least.
"We have never spoken about European competition. I said from the start '40 points, first target' and we are almost there," said the Scot.
"To be honest I thought we'd be beyond the 40-point mark by now and we would've had a few games left to attack the rest of the season.
"We need one more win to get 40 points and we have 12 games left.
"Hopefully we will get it quickly and then we'll see where we end up at the end of the season.
"We can only look from game to game. No-one was talking about European ambition before this game, everyone was looking at the teams below us and thinking where we were getting our next win from."
Victory ended a run of one point from six matches and was their first in the league since Boxing Day, ensuring they did a top-flight double over the Reds for the first time since the 1966-67 season.
"I thought we played well in the game and deserved to get the three points," added Clarke.
"For me, at this moment in time, Liverpool are playing as well as anyone in the league so to come here and get that result with the performance as well I don't think you can say we were lucky because we weren't.
"When you come to a place like Anfield they have got players who create chances so you know that at some stage your goalkeeper is going to have to make some saves.
"Unfortunately because of the referee he had to make an extra save - I am assured the penalty was harsh but I haven't seen it - but that was important for us as well.
"When he made that save from a penalty that should never have been given it gave us that positive belief and momentum to go and win the game."

Notorious for his fiery temper, his passionate love affairs, and his severe poverty, Amedeo Modigliani was the consummate Bohemian artist in modern Paris. This portrait depicts an acquaintance from the circle of his Polish-born dealer Leopold Zborowski. The woman's long, graceful curves and simplified features are typical of Modigliani's approach to the human figure.

Raymond-Jacques Sabouraud, renowned dermatologist of the Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris, was an amateur sculptor and painter. He was a friend of Odilon Redon, who painted his portrait, and also a major art collector who owned at least nine Modiglianis (see Bénézit, Dictionnaire, 1999, "Sabouraud", and letter from Marie-Christine Decroocq, Wildenstein Institute, 9 January 2003, in curatorial file).

The Prince and the Pauper's Bistro Bargain
March can be a little bit quiet in the village of Woodstock, Vermont, especially mid week. If you are thinking about coming to visit us at the Village Inn of Woodstock bed and breakfast, there are some really great things to do and see. The kids are being born at Fat Toad Farm, the sap is flowing from the maple trees at Sugarbush Farm, and The Prince and the Pauper Restaurant in Woodstock, VT is offering its bistro menu for sixteen dollars.
The P & P is one of our favorite restaurants anyway, but this deal makes it hard not to eat there every week since it includes a lovely salad, bread and your entree. The $16 bistro menu deal is available throughout the month of March, Sunday through Thursday evenings.
To make the deal even sweeter, join us for two nights midweek, Sunday through Thursday and we'll include a glass of wine and hors d'oeuvres in our tavern. Just mention that you read this post when you make your reservation.
The Prince and Pauper is just a five to ten minute walk from the Village Inn of Woodstock, both conveniently located in the village of Woodstock, Vermont.

Spartans lose at Juan Diego 35-13
Traveling to Juan Diego for any football team is never an easy thing but traveling there without your leading rusher and leading tackler makes things even harder. The Emery Spartans could not overcome the latter and lost a region football game 35-13.
Ryne Jones injured his foot on his second run of the night a week earlier in the game against Carbon High. After not playing again in that game and sitting all week in practice, it was hoped that the swelling in his foot would subside enough to let him play but it was not to be.
Through the two runs in the Carbon game, Ryne was averaging 11.1 yards per carry on 55 carries. He had run for 612 yards and seven touchdowns. Ryne had also caught nine passes for 146 yards and three more touchdowns. Ryne had also completed a pass for a touchdown. Ryne also led the team in unassisted tackles with 29 and assisted tackles with 25.
Nico Richetti was second on the team in tackles with a combined 40 and also had recovered two fumbles. Colby Snow and Wade Bohn each had 34 tackles. Wade had also caused four fumbles. Mike Jones, Chance Ariotti and Jordan Gee were next with 32 tackles apiece. Cody Allen led the team in interceptions with four from his free safety position.
Before the Juan Diego game, Jordan Gee was averaging 6.9 yards per carry and Mike Jones was averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Mike had six touchdowns and Jordan one touchdown on the ground. Gee is the leading receiver on the team. Before Juan Diego he had 14 catches for 321 yards and had scored seven more touchdowns this way. Jordan added two more receiving touchdowns against Juan Diego as he got to the end zone twice.
Juan Diego's size was too much for the Spartans. This included size of school and how big the athlete's actually are. The lineman was huge on both sides of the ball. That size allowed the Soaring Eagles to control the line of scrimmage and to keep Emery at bay most of the game.
Juan Diego scored twice in the first quarter on runs by their quarterback to take the early lead at 14-0. Gee caught a Dempsey Jeffs pass in the second quarter for a touchdown and Emery trailed at the half 14-7. Juan Diego scored twice more in the third quarter on runs of 19 yards and 14 yards before Gee scored on another Jeffs pass. Score was now 28-13. Juan Diego added another touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Before the loss, Emery had won five games in a row and now look to get to their winning ways as they finally come home after a month on the road.
Emery will now host red-hot North Sanpete this Friday in Castle Dale. Emery needs this game in order to host a play-off game down the line.

The Ineluctable Modality of Numbers
Catching up on my New Yorker reading, I ran across this article from the March 3 issue about the way the human brain is hardwired for math. It reminded me of my own peculiar sense of numbers as a kid, especially the numbers 1-10. At some point, around 1st grade, my brain gave those numbers distinct personalities, genders, and even relationships with each other. The number 6 for instance was an awkward, nerdy boy, and the number 9 was a sophisticated young woman. 6 looked up to 9 like a cool older sister, but she couldn't stand him, and whenever they were multiplied or added, 9 couldn't wait for the computation to end. She much preferred the company of 4 and 8, both of them cool, confident boys, though 8 was more disaffected than eager, cheerful 4 (I could go on and on like this).
What's fascinating to me is the author Jim Holt's statement that, according to cognitive science, "We have a sense of number that is independent of language, memory, and reasoning in general." To me, numbers feel like a human invention, just as alphabets and words are human inventions, but it's apparently more like numbers are a part of nature. And according to this research, our brains grasp the rudimentaries of math as intuitively as we grasp hunger, thirst, and love.
It made me think of Janna Levin's response on our show "Mathematics, Purpose, and Truth" when Krista asked her, "Does the fact that one plus one equals two have anything to do with God?" Levin said, "If I were to ever lean towards spiritual thinking or religious thinking, it would be in that way. It would be, why is it that there is this abstract mathematics that guides the universe? The universe is remarkable because we can understand it. That's what's remarkable."

Paul Brach Lecture Series: Lucy Raven
ART: Lucy Raven is an artist living in Oakland, CA and NYC. "Raven uses animation as the foundation for her explorations into the relationship of still photography to the moving image. During her 2011 Hammer Residency, Raven embarked on an ongoing investigation of the invention, growth, and mainstream acceptance of 3D cinema, from its roots in early animation to the current global infrastructure that has been established to support its new-found popularity. In the process, she began to amass an exhaustive archive of film and sound test patterns. Key to achieving high-quality image and sound, these test patterns are usually seen only by projectionists. Raven's new works press these esoteric image and sound fragments into use as both raw material and subject-matter unto itself, freighted with the patina of analog cinema in a digital age. Hammer Projects: Lucy Raven will feature three new works that promise to broaden our view of the perceptual potential and depth of meaning to be found in the technologies of photography and moving images."

I sense Rukia Vs Bazz B Once the fights are finish it'll be, Renji + Rukia Vs Uryu.
So So
I sense Rukia Vs Bazz B Once the fights are finish it'll be, Renji + Rukia Vs Uryu.
I didn't have a problem with this chapter. I do have a question though: What was up with the star nipple covers? That was....that was a bit on the weird side. And can Renji finally kill Hulk Flair already? This guy with that fuckin Majin Buu reject James is really pissing me off! Just die already so I can see some other character developments like Kenpachi or Byakuya or even Mono. Just give me someone else besides this guy. He was entertaining and comical at first, but now..... now this douchebag is just repetitive. Seriously, if I hear the word "Villain" it'll be too damn soon.
The darkness can't hold me, I am the epitome of light. I have to shine, it's in my nature.
I'm still wondering how the hell the Shinigami defeated them in the first place. At this rate SS will be completely Shinigami free.
Ah Kubo, master of the troll... can't even really make out what is going on in that last page with Renji's bankai.
^ Pretty much, most of the Captains are young at that. In the Pendulum Arc, Kyouraku mentions that he, Ukitake, Unohan and Yamamoto are the only captains from 100 years ago, everyone else is a fresh blood. Rose was a Captain for 10,5 years in total (9+1,5), Urahara was for 9 and the rest of the Vizards weren't that much longer. The newer Captains like Hitsugaya, Soi Fong or Komamura might actually have more exp in being Captains than some or half of the Vizards. It's hard to say how long Ishin was, but seeing as Gotei was already looking for a Captain for the 10th Squad at Pendulum Arc, yet Vizards didn't know him, means that he probably became one not so long after they left, or someone else was there before him.
Answering my own question, I could say that we'll get a first look at Renji's new Bankai, but since Super Star's defeat is just gonna be a side note, I wonder if Kubo wasting a good Bankai on nobody S-Ritter?
Next chapter Kubo better stay with Renji and Super Star (else he could show Kenpachi slashing quincies by the dozen, I'll take that gladly) , and Renjis New Bankai better be Spilling Over, OOzing, and gushing out everywhere with extreme owned assedness-ness-ness, If it does, I'll gladly and quickly forgive Kubo for boring me with some Lame @$$ed, over-hyped Vizard Captains.. Aizen would be fine too.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
^ I heard that the next chapter starts with color pages, so it looks like Kubo was stretching it a bit in order to show Renji's new Bankai in color, maybe.
Here is a little reminder of how his Bankai looked like originally:
as can be noticed, originally the monkey's scull rested on his arm, but now, it' the snake skull that rests on his forearm, so there is a possibility that their positions were reversed.
Also, is it me or is Renji's Bankai in a far, far worse state than that of Ikkaku's in this page?:
just how many segments there originally were, 50, 100 or what ? From the looks of it Renji's Bankai shouldn't even have been at half of it's power, so now that it is repaired, hohohoho, should be kick-ass.
could that have been the first sketch of Mask ? Nah, can't be .
Rukia mentioned that Byakuya became a Captain at the same time as Gin, not long before she joined the Gotei 13 (http://www.mangastream.to/bleach-cha...45-page-6.html) and seeing as he didn't have the Captain Cloak (yet whore Shinigai clothes) when he came for her, means that he was promoted in the same year or one before Rukia entered Gotei 13. This means that Byakuya is almost as long a Captain, as Rukia is a Shinigami (50 years), this can also be seen as Gin (while younger) proving to be bit more talented than Byakuya, just as Kaien guessed/analyzed. This might also mean that Renji is as talented as Gin or Byakuya, seeing as all of 3 had become Captain-level within their (around) 50 years of being Shinigami.
You know what, I suddenly realized that there is a possibility that actually his whole Zanpakutou might have changed and the thing that looked like his Old Shikai, might have actually been new Half-Shikai release, in similar manner as Yumichika is able to do. In that case, what he released now might not have been his Bankai, but his True Shikai ?

Anyone know when the next chapter will be released because last year we had a 3 week wait.
last year we got the first january(double) issue extra early. It appears that's not the case this year so I would guess that it should be out sometime within the next week or so, and then another break after that.
According to Manga Stream it should be sometime this week

This past Friday there was an article in my local paper about a documentary that highlights doctors with depression and the reasons why they often don't seek help. The documentary is Struggling in Silence. It was scheduled to be aired on our local PBS station, AETN, on Saturday. I intended to watch it, but missed it. It aired at 5 am on Saturday morning. For some reason, I thought it was to air Saturday evening, so I didn't even set the VCR. A colleague was interviewed for the documentary. His name is Dr. Robert Lehmberg. He practiced plastic surgery here in Little Rock for years, but retired almost a year ago and is now a hospice and palliative care doctor at UAMS and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System. I know Dr Lehmberg (and think highly of him), but never realized how he struggled with depression.
The following is from the "Doctors with Depression" website:
Every year, three to four hundred physicians take their own lives — the equivalent of two to three medical school classes. This is an alarming trend in a country focused on increasing the availability and quality of healthcare. Struggling in Silence: Physician Depression and Suicide is a one-hour, high definition public television documentary that sheds light on this hidden and perplexing phenomenon.
Struggling in Silence is part of a nationwide outreach campaign. The aim of the campaign is to explore the professional policies and the culture of stigma that prevent physicians and medical school students from seeking help for the common and treatable mood disorders that can lead to suicide. The campaign will also educate the community at large about mood disorders and medical safety in the hopes of creating a more supportive environment for physicians in treatment.
We have had our share of physician suicides here in Arkansas. In Aug 2004, we had a double tragedy. A third year UAMS medical student died after jumping out of a 10th floor window on the UAMS campus. Later his wife, a neurosurgery resident, was found stabbed to death in their home. It is believed that he killed her prior to jumping to his own death.
That same year (2004) at Christmas, Dr Jonathan Drummond-Webb committed suicide by swallowing prescription painkillers. He was a brilliant Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
The film also mentions how Dr G Richard Smith, chairman of the psychiatry department at UAMS, and colleagues with the Arkansas Psychiatric Society and the Arkansas Medical Society managed to petition our state medical board to change the state licensing procedure to protect the privacy of any physician who is in or has had mental health treatment (check out clip three). This change took place after the three deaths so close together in 2004.
I would encourage you to check the website for when the film might be aired in your area or to purchase the video/DVD.
More importantly, if you are "suffering in silence", please, seek help. In Arkansas, the Arkansas Medical Foundation is a great place to start. Contact information can be found on their website.
The Arkansas Medical Foundation is here to provide for the identification and treatment of healthcare professionals who suffer from impairment, in order to promote the public health and safety and to insure the continued availability of skill of highly trained medical professionals for the benefit of the public. The AMF was created to oversee the Physician's Health Committee (PHC).

They never showed him. Im actually thinking that shanks convinced kaidou to help him out since we can't just not see such an important character. we've already lost one yonkou, we can't lose two in the same day.
I agree that shanks wont actually fight. he's here to stop the war, not to continue it. I think we'll just see a glimpse of his epicness. There can't really be a retreat though, like all the pirates, the marines have nowhere to run and BB won't let them. hmm... i don't know if he'll fight or not. if BB's there it seems like we'll see shanks fight. Or maybe just his presence will scare the BB pirates away, and maybe if kaidou is there he'll actually realize he'll get killed. I don't think any of us will be able to tell what's going to happen. I just know dragon won't show up

In conjunction with the Commission on Volunteers "Summer of Service", the Aspen Fifth Ward from Orem arrived in Green River July 20. Twenty two youth and 13 adults came armed and prepared to facilitate repairs on the 100 year old building occupied by the Community Center/Boys and Girls Club of Green River. They brought man power and supplies.
The Boys and Girls Club of Utah County being aware of this project brought paint and the Utah State Food Bank gave a cash donation toward the purchase of needed supplies. This group of young men and ladies and their leaders, nailed, painted, designed and even painted a mural.
They painted a key for the basketball court, 4-square, hop-scotch and a tether ball was installed. We had been working on our half pipe for skateboarding and our Sixth Gear Skating Program and they helped with that too. They worked until after 7:30 p.m., and came back Friday to finish.
The Community Center provided water, snacks, meals, snow-cones, popcorn and shade for this hard working crew. The Community Center/Boys and Girls Club was in dire need of the repairs.
Joni Pace and her staff, the youth and seniors the Center serves and the Volunteers who donate their time there appreciate the Aspen Fifth Ward for their kindness and generosity.

So it's early --- but Wesley Campbell just brought it! He got a standing ovation. And he deserved it. He did all the jumps and he practically was flying on the ice.
Look at Wesley's Campell component score 72! Whew! Pretty good PCS for skating early.
Wesley Campbell's performance was just beautiful. I am not ashamed to say it brought tears to my eyes.
Yes, absolutely beautiful. And I loved Wesley's reaction and the audience's reaction at the end of his performance. This type of performance and the feelings inspired are what figure skating truly is all about at its essence. Thanks to Wesley. I will enjoy re-watching his skate.
Harrison Choate did a good job, but I missed seeing Armin and most of Carriere.
Mike Mancuso just now referenced "Honey Badger" in speaking about Keegan Messing, without citing the original source of the moniker.
Mike Weiss tripping all over himself to say "I'm not really a fan of sparkles, but Razzano's outfit looks clean and the colors match," or words to that effect.
What a great skate from Alexander Johnson! That was a gorgeous program.

DEAR PEGGY: Do you have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that uses applesauce instead of margarine? I'm trying to cut some of the saturated fat in our diet. —E.P., Grapevine, Texas
PEGGY: First, I applaud you for trying to cut saturated fat. Unfortunately, though, making cookies with unsweetened applesauce as a fat substitute and keeping the same crispy exterior and tender chewy interior is very difficult. Applesauce has significantly more water than butter and margarine. Using it will most likely make your cookies spread, be too thin and have a cake-like texture. Instead of eating a mediocre cookie, it's best to treat cookies as what they are—an occasional indulgence. They're already preportioned into small sizes, so working full-fat cookies into a healthy diet is just fine—as long as you keep moderation in mind.

Making the most of each stop
Leveraging Time

Fabulous Four Time Savers
Apply Business Savvy in Your Home
Add Hours to Your Week
If there are two things we Americans never seem to have enough of, it's time and money. Our lives have become increasingly complex, while at the same time we're encouraged to multi-task and become more productive. Now if some smart guy would just invent the 28-hour day, this would make life easier, but until that breakthrough happens, start leveraging time you do have while performing the necessary task of shopping for groceries.
Leverage the Service Counter: In many grocery stores near my home, the service counter offers a variety of customer supports. At my regular grocery retailer, I can pay my utility, phone, and satellite TV bills at the service counter. The store handles the transactions, and I save a couple bucks on postage. Better still, I avoid a trip to the post office to mail the bills, saving more time plus gasoline. If I used public transportation, I could also purchase a monthly transit pass at the same place. Sound convenient? It should, and there's more.
In-Store Banking: My grocery also houses a branch of my local bank. I can make deposits, withdrawals, or use the ATM and avoid another side trip. But the best part is the bank is open every day including Sunday! If that's not convenient, I don't know what is.
Bottle Return: Here in New York, there is a five-cent deposit on most beverage containers. There are stand alone deposit redemption centers set up around the area, but as long as I'm going to the store anyway, I avoid yet another extra stop and redeem my containers at the grocery. The store issues a credit slip, which I use at the checkout.
Booze: While it's not a reality yet, very soon grocers in New York will be permitted to sell wine and liquor. I don't consume much hard liquor, but the utility of buying a bottle of wine when I buy the fixings for the meal I'll serve it with strikes me as the epitome of convenience.
With the possible exception of walking and chewing gum at the same time, multi-tasking is a true misnomer. Basically, we perform all tasks one at a time. But, if I can pay bills, visit my local bank, redeem my bottle deposits and purchase some wine under one roof, I can perform a multitude of tasks while avoiding extra driving and extra expenses. Now as far as the 28-hour day, I'm working on it, but the math is killing me.

West Virginia officials say levels of a chemical that leaked into the Elk River and affected the water supply are dropping. Residents of 9 counties could soon have clearance to use their tap water. (Jan. 13) AP
The nation needs to be more prepared for deliberate attacks, some say.
Even as 300,000 West Virginians sought ways to cook, wash, bathe and hydrate without their official water supply, some wondered about a broader question: If a simple accident involving a relatively benign chemical can cause such havoc, what about an attack on a reservoir with a far more potent toxin?
"It may be a good lesson for the country, to see how we're handling it, and what could be put into place,'' said Pat Barlett, 81, of Charleston, whose life has spanned many West Virginia disasters, including coal mine collapses, floods and blizzards.
"You know, the terrorists are around,'' she said. "This could happen anywhere. We need to think about it and be prepared.''
MORE: It may take days to get the water back on
And something else, she said: "We need to learn to be a little bit more independent."
Debbie Stevens, 54, pondered the same issue as she waited to take a shower at her college student son's apartment in Morgantown, 160 miles north of her home in Charleston's South Hills neighborhood.
"With all the fears people have about terrorism around the country, this may teach them how easy it is for something like this to happen,'' she said. "This was an accident. What happens when someone does something like this deliberately? I hope this is a wake-up call.''
Stevens drove to her son's place Sunday morning and waited as her 27-year-old daughter preceded her in the shower. She said neighbors back in Charleston told her water pressure had dipped as water company crews tested and flushed lines.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said Sunday afternoon that chemical contamination levels were continuing to go down, and that "we can see the light at the end of the tunnel." Officials said that the order against water use would be rolled back in stages, but they didn't know when that process would begin.
Bill Arthur, owner of The Anchor, a Charleston restaurant since 1936, said the lack of information was itself a sign of vulnerability: "Nobody even seems to know much about the chemical itself.''
"Most people did not know a whole lot about this chemical,'' Tomblin acknowledged at his news conference. "We've had to do a lot of research.''
The company that stored the chemical, which is used to wash coal, said it had "very, very low toxicity" and posed no danger to the public. But Jeff McIntyre, president of the water company, demurred: "We don't know that the water is not safe, but I can't say it is safe."
Arthur bought $20,000 worth of food last week that he can't sell. He said if he reopened he'd have to restrict his fare to bottled beer and shots of whiskey, "like the Long Branch Saloon,'' the infamous Dodge City bar.
Residents of nine counties — 15% of the state's population — have gone without clean tap water since a chemical spill Thursday that tainted the public water supply. Customers have been told they can use tap water for flushing toilets and little else.
The emergency began Thursday following complaints to West Virginia American Water of a licorice-type odor in the tap water. The source was identified as 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, which had leaked out of a 40,000-gallon tank at an industrial facility along the Elk River.
State officials say they believe about 7,500 gallons leaked. But since some was contained before reaching the river, it's not clear exactly how much entered the water supply downriver.
More than 30 people have sought treatment at hospitals for symptoms such as nausea. There have been no reports of serious illness.
The water company says it could be days before clean tap water is flowing again.

Good as Gone, But Kipper was Great
Kent Wilson
April 22 2013 07:31AM
By: Steve MacFarlane
It's become traditional for NHL teams who win at home to trot out to centre ice and raise their sticks to the crowd.
The fact the Flames players forced Miikka Kiprusoff to make that celebratory twirl alone on Friday night after he backstopped them to a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks in the Saddledome finale of this lockout-shortened season was extremely telling.
In case anyone still doubts the likelihood the franchise goaltender is going to retire following this season, that special moment in front of a crowd still chanting Kiprusoff's name was just one of many signs.
Another came in the locker-room as the Finn bent over and untied his skates. One of the Flames owners sidled up to Kiprusoff and quietly told him, "You're welcome back if you want to come."
Publicly, he says he's not yet sure he wants to return for the final season of his current contract.
Privately, he's telling people he's done.
That's why his teammates played their hearts out in front of him Friday, cringing when Corey Perry ended the shutout bid and spoiled what would have been a fitting ending to the former Vezina winner's ninth season wearing the Flaming C on his chest. That's why Kiprusoff savoured the five-plus-minute ovation from the locals, which started with two minutes still on the clock in a game as meaningless as a pre-season contest.
That's why Lee Stempniak scooped up the puck for him after the final buzzer sounded.
That's why so many owners and executives felt the need to seek him out and shake his hand. They know there's a good chance they'll never see him again — unless he agrees to come back when they eventually decide to honour his jersey (remember, they don't retire them here anymore).
Where does he go from here?
For Kiprusoff, what comes after hockey isn't something he says he's thought much about. He's been doing it professionally his entire life.
Money will never be a problem. He's been paid a handsome fortune for his heroics during his time in Calgary. He's also part owner of TPS Turku back in Finland, and has a piece of the Warrior stick company.
Most joke he'll disappear back in Finland, spending his mornings on the water with a fishing rod and a bottle of vodka. Teammates will hear from him on rare occasions, he'll tell them they should come to his place in the middle of nowhere, then conveniently forget to give anyone directions.
But he said something interesting after Friday night's game. Maybe it was just to make the one or two writers remaining around him second-guess his impending retirement, or maybe all his success in Calgary, and the way he's been treated here, makes the idea he's not so eager to leave town even after his playing days are done just a little more believable.
"Well actually, we haven't even yet decided where I'm gonna be after I'm done hockey," Kiprusoff told me, suggesting he and wife Seidi will decide where they and young boys Aaro and Oskar live once they officially declare his NHL career over.
"We really like it here. We like Finland, too. It's where the family is. It's one call to make, too, when it's time."
How far he's come
It's incredible to think how quickly Kiprusoff rose from unknown commodity to superstar following the trade from San Jose, where he was third on the goalie depth chart, to Calgary, where he made an instant impact.
It was Kiprusoff, not Jarome Iginla, who was responsible for the majority of Flames victories over the last nine seasons. As one scribe suggested Friday night as the crowd voiced its appreciation, "He made a whole lot of bad teams pretty competitive."
As brightly as Iginla shined during the 2004 playoff run, as hard as he worked and as big of an impact he made, it was incredible goaltending that allowed the team to surprise the top four seeds in the Western Conference that spring. It was Kiprusoff's amazing athleticism, his reflexes, his flexibility, his anticipation of the play and refusal to quit on any play that earned the Flames their first division title in more than a decade the year following the lockout.
And through all that, Kiprusoff had yet to take training — stretching aside — seriously.
He was a smoker when he first joined the team, although how much he actually lit up only he knows. He more recently admitted to trying smoking and not liking it, stating that he doesn't do it anymore and that it's not good for you. He did eventually give it up a few years ago — but he still loves his chewing tobacco. A wad under the lip makes an interview with the soft-spoken introvert even more difficult as he pours on the over-exaggerated accent he's always relied on to avoid talking much.
He loved his drink, too, although he would never do it at inappropriate times or let it affect his game.
There was one memorable night in Columbus during the 2006-07 season, following his Vezina Trophy winning season, when the Flames had a rare evening in the same city following a game. A tired but famished newspaper beat writer who had skipped dinner and was packing up for an early-morning flight to the next town ordered last-minute room service and when the hotel staff member saw his press pass from the game, asked if he knew Miikka Kiprusoff.
"As well as anyone covering the team can get to know him. He's kind of quiet," the reporter replied.
"Well, he just ordered some food, too, along with a six-pack of beer," laughed the kid. "I think he drank three of them before I even left the room."
Realizing as he aged how much harder he would have to work to continue as one of the most consistent goaltenders in the modern era, Kiprusoff dedicated himself to a healthier lifestyle. He came back to Calgary earlier in the summer before training camp began, and skated with some of his teammates in their informal pre-season gatherings.
This year, it made no difference. The lockout seemed to take away from the rhythm he developed.
But he doesn't have anything left to prove, and isn't the type of guy who has to win a championship at the NHL level to feel fulfilled. He'd already done that in Finnish hockey, where he'd won a league title along with the equivalent of a Vezina and the Conn Smythe for TPS Turku.
His dry but quick sense of humour was front and centre at his unofficial goodbye party as he was asked about those telltale signs of his retirement decision.
The solo skate at the end of the game? "I told them they're not giving me any options after that."
The puck getting picked up for him? "They've been doing that the last 10 games. I don't know why. They want me out of town."
The idea of teammates trying to talk him out of retiring. "No, they want me to go."
No one really wants to see that, but barring a last-minute change of heart, it's all but official.
(Thanks again to Steve for sharing his thoughts and experiences of Kiprusoff. You can follow Steve on twitter here.)

That 2004 run was pure magic, and Kipper was our dark sorcerer.
He and Vernon are the two best Goaltenders the Flames have ever had - by wide margins, and while Vernon has the hardware (though not the HOF induction he deserves), I'd argue Kiprusoff did as much with less, and is our best 'tender of all-time.
Hopefully we can skip the Brathwaite/Turek years of bad goaltending before our next Kipper arrives.
He'll be missed.
Thank you Kipper. Not just for all the wins, the saves, the shutouts...but for the way you represented our team with class and dignity every night. You, more than any Flame during your tenure, made us better.
You will go down in Flame history, along with Mike Vernon, as the very best we've ever had. And in this case, the best was more than good enough! You're welcome on my team anytime.
Cheers #34.....
Great article. Props to you Kipper. 2004 was magic, but his entire career here was accompanied by some form of, "this team wouldn't be competitive without Kipper...."
I always enjoyed his highlight reel saves..
Enjoy retirement Kipper ;)
Well done article. We will miss Kipper in the tough years to come. I still think he's too young to retire & these last games showed he's still way too friggin good to retire. Maybe a year off & he'll miss it so much that he comes back :)
Excellent article! A true assessment of a great player. You are spot on about which player has actually carried this team. No doubt in my mind.
In many ways the Flames wasted the golden years of Iggy and Kipper. We had two key pieces of the puzzle, an elite offensive forward and an elite goalie, but management could never build a stong enough supporting cast around them. Management relied on signing older, big contract vets to compensate for years of poor (dismal?) first round drafting. Even first round successes like Phanuef were poorly managed. The five year contract given to Phanuef was simply terrible from a hockey point of view. Had the Flames signed him to a more realistic contract of $3 - $4 million, he would still be a Flame.
Kipper, thanks for your service, and have a great retirement. Ever considered being a goalie coach?
Kipper was easily the best Flame goaltender of all time. I hope that the Flames make an exception to the "Forever a Flame" thing to retire both Kipper and Iggy's numbers. They have both carried the organization for a long period of time. It's too bad they could not win a Cup during the Kipper/Iggy era, it's not every day you get a HOF forward and an all-world goalie on the same team for an extended period of time.
Kipper was in vintage form for his last two home games, even if they weren't shutouts. So help me, seeing that just makes losing him hurt that much more! I wonder if he'd come back next season for just a few games, and perhaps to pass on some tricks to the rookies.
It's too bad he didn't win a Stanley Cup, he single-handedly nearly won us a Stanley Cup. He made the franchise relevant again and brought us back from the abyss. I still think he has a few good years left in him but if does retire that's his choice entirely. I don't think he should decide too soon, I don't think his mind was straight. He had to deal with the longest injury of his career and missed a whole month, experienced the birth of a new child and was constantly bombarded by trade talk. It wouldn't be in his best interest to make a rash choice, he needs to get everything settled before he can say without a doubt he is finished.

I hope he's done honestly. Time to turn the page on that era. Too bad Tanguay got so much term, it means the only way he moves on is the buyout. Kipper WAS great. He's done as an NHL goaltender IMO. The players who stay great in their later years generally have more of a commitment to fitness, Marty Brodeur aside. If Joey Mack is outplaying you by a significant margin you need to retire.
Well, I doubt Iginla comes back.
Alright, who wants to buy his house for me? Anyone?
Awesome article, Steve. I love that Kipper was a quiet, sarcastic, smoking and boozing superstar. He's basically a rock star, and he's the best goalie to ever play for the Flames.
That 5 minute ovation was just about perfect, I'm glad I was there to witness it.
haha.. nice house. love the rink in the backyard.
April 22 2013, 04:25PM
@Kent Wilson
In the rare instances you got to see a glimpse of his personality, you instantly got the feeling he'd be a great guy to hang out with. But he is/was also the best at keeping people at arm's length when he didn't feel like chatting.
Well, I doubt Iginla comes back.
Pity, we could have resigned him, and then traded him at the deadline next year for another first rounder...the gift that keeps giving!

Well he looked great on horrible Flames teams. Turn the page if Ramo is the starter not if it's MacDonald. The only way he comes back is if the Flames gave him an extension beyond this season. Feaster could try to move him at the draft or in the summer but chances are he would refuse to report to any team. Despite not being traded to Toronto, Kipper was intrigued so he didn't totally rule it out. Had he not been injured or had a baby, he could be in a Leafs jersey.(shudder)
April 22 2013, 09:31PM
I always looked forward to watching him perform in goal for the Flames. I think he brought the fans out of their seats more than any other player during his time here. At times the guy was amazing to watch. He was also incredibly durable considering the workload he carried over the years. Wouldn't break my heart if he stayed on for another year or two that's for sure.

The Cheetahs and the Stormers will have more than competition points to play for when they face off in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The Cheetahs and the Stormers will have more than competition points to play for when they face off in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
As the tournament's basement dwellers, and with just one point separating the Stormers, who are in 14th place – on 10 points – and the home side, who are 15th, victory will have extra significance as the losers will occupy the bottom place.
Victory will come as a relief for the winners but will not be enough to take them higher than second last place in the standings, as their closest rivals, on the table, the 13th-placed Rebels are six points ahead of the Stormers at the moment.
Both sides have reached the playoffs in recent seasons but have been found wanting in 2014. On the one side, the home side's defence has let them down more often than not, especially late in matches, although they defended very well in their loss to the Sharks in Durban last weekend.
The Cheetahs have conceded at least five more tries (14) than any other side in the last 20 minutes of games this year.
And on the other hand, the Stormers have struggled to score tries – only the Lions with 11 have scored less than the Stormers' 12 – while the Cheetahs' 22 five-pointers is the most of all South African sides.
Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske knows his side is in for a tough battle against the visitors but believes his side can beat the men from the Cape if they stick to their strengths for the entire game.
"It's really important to go back to our basics and focus on our set piece," he said.
"I thought that our defence in the last game was a step in the right direction.
"You need to go back to basics and take it step by step. We know that if we play well in Bloemfontein, we can beat any team.
"We need to get rid of those soft moments were we do funny things and let teams back into the game to beat us. We need to play for 80 minutes."
The Stormers delivered a superb first half performance in their victory over the Lions, scoring 18 unanswered points and crossed for two tries in the process.
They reverted to their old ways again in the second half and failed to add to that tally while also conceding a penalty to their visitors from the Johannesburg.
Coetzee knows that a similar showing could prove disastrous in Bloemfontein. A key battle to keep an eye on is at the breakdown. Springbok back-row Heinrich Brussow made an impressive return in that department against the Sharks and faces stiff opposition from the visitors flankers, Siya Kolisi and Nizaam Carr, who are also fine foragers
The Stormers have an ace up their sleeve poacher in hooker Deon Fourie, who has also shone on the side of the scrum in several matches for the visitors. The battle between him and Brussow for turnover possession has been one of the talking points in the build up to the game and could play a big part in determining the game's outcome.
Previous results:
2013: Stormers won 28-3 in Cape Town
2013: Cheetahs won 26-24 in Bloemfontein
2012: Stormers won 16-14 in Cape Town
2012: Stormers won 13-6 in Bloemfontein
2011: Stormers won 44-34 in Bloemfontein
2011: Stormers won 21-15 in Cape Town
Prediction: Both sides will be highly motivated in their quest to get off the foot of the table so don't be surprised if this game is decided in its closing stages. Home ground advantage will swing it in the Cheetahs' favour, however. Cheetahs to win by three points!
The teams:
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Raymond Rhule, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Ryno Benjamin, 11 Willie le Roux, 10 Elgar Watts, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Boom Prinsloo, 7 Jean Cook, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Andries Ferreira, 3 Maks van Dyk, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Caylib Oosthuizen.

Great buy!
"Wore these shoes for the first time today, to work. I love them! They are leather so they breath better than man-made material. They are also very comfortable and look sharp with skinny jeans or black pants.Normally strappy shoes hurt my feet, but these are ultra comfortable. Would definitely recommend. Also, the platform makes the height much easier on my tiny feet. I wear a 6.5 and these are true to size, although a bit narrow."

Two dead in single-car accident
Investigators say a domestic dispute may have led to crash
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - UPDATE 12/3/2013: The two victims in the accident were identified. Detectives also determined that one of the victims had been stabbed before the accident. Click here to read more.
Two people are dead after a crash in Washington County, Tennessee. It happened Monday morning off of Knob Creek Dock Road.
Deputies tell us blood was discovered in one victim's home and now detectives believe a domestic situation lead to the crash.
Teresa Webb lives across from the crash scene. "It went 'boom' and then [there was] another boom. I just jumped up put my clothes on and ran outside," she said.
Webb tells us when she realized there was a car accident, she called 911 and waited for crews to arrive. "We couldn't have gotten close to the car because it was already on fire. The trees and the woods were already on fire," adds Webb.
Washington County, Tennessee Sheriff Ed Graybeal tells us a man and woman died in the crash. "They went over the rocks. The car hit the tree, flipped upside down where it is laying now and caught fire," he said.
We're told the car was a Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible.
Sheriff Graybeal says investigators aren't sure how fast the car was going, but there were no skid marks. "It doesn't appear that they hit any brakes. They just lost control and maybe tried to overcorrect, ran off the roadway. You can see how high they went up the tree once they went off the road and flipped over," he explained.
Detectives tell us they found a lot of blood inside one of the victims' homes and they are treating this as a domestic situation.
Webb tells us she's just thinking about the victim's families. "I would never wish that on anybody and I pray for their families," she said.
Graybeal tells us their remains will be sent for an autopsy while working to confirm the victims' identities.
Sheriff Graybeal tells us they are taking the car to their garage and searching the home to see if they can figure out what led to the crash.
