Piano World poster wrote:Piano World poster wrote:Is he bending the pins to tune, or is there a rotary component I'm missing?
Yes, there is a rotary component, and he is also bending the pins to tune. Many of us have seen skilful tuners get that last 2 cents by deliberately 'lifting' the pin. I learned this from a Japanese Master Tech years ago. I spent a week with him, both of us tuning our respective employers' pianos for a piano competition. Of course you have to know precicely where the pin is from a combined torque and flagpole standpoint and therein lies the skill. That, plus experience, years of it. It looks like Max has discovered this by himself.

What is your opinion after reading the Piano World thread?
Maximillian's opening comment was "Tuning a piano with mediator I use when tuning of piano with mediator. Such way allows to search for the sounds of the necessary height without shim and laying of the tape. I listen harmonic assonance and intervals".

The cheapest deal could still be the best. A high price is no guarantee of quality or value. The piano trade seems to be a haven for the unscrupulous and dishonest.

This he cannot do, for many reasons.

Ive no problem with people wanting to become piano tuners, techs , dealers but get a propper training first so you know what you are talking about.rxd wrote:Shakespeare wrote about protesting too much and went on to say how much it is evidence of low self esteem to have to put down another in order for a person to feel secure about themselves.

I then have to tell the customer that the pile of junk they have paid £500 for should be scrapped. And people fall for this tosh time after time.

Much the same effect can be had by using a No.3 or 4 size tip on a No.2 pin in such a way as to get about 10-15 degrees rotational play without marring the pin. Use a heavy lever or extend so that most of the weight is at the end. Looks ungainly, but you'll get the idea, the original uses a more compact weight. Hold the tool at the tip, right over the tuning pin, 'throwing' the tool using the weight of the handle to move the pin in small increments, theoretically eliminating flagpoling. Seems to work best on uprights.

I am having trouble understanding your remark.
Factory apprentices of old started by making their own tools. (after sweeping up and learning to make a cup of tea that satisfied everyones taste).
I have made many of the tools I use. I used to make tools to give away to visiting technicians. The storeboughten tools I have, have been adapted to my specific requirements.
My graduate trainee last year made a usable papps wedge and case for it. She made a good job of it too.

The first annual Utah Mine Safety Conference was held at the College of Eastern Utah on Oct. 22. The conference was the first held by the Utah Office of Mine Safety created by recommendation of the Utah Mine Safety Commission which was formed by Gov. Jon Huntsman in August 2007 after the Crandall Canyon Mine accident.
Garth Nielson is the director of the newly formed Office of Coal Mine Safety. He welcomed everyone to the conference and thanked them for their attendance at this inaugural event. Nielson said he enjoys the subject of mining and he has been associated with mining since the age of 19. He has been the director of the Office of Coal Mine Safety for three months now. The objective of the state is mine safety and to address concerns. Sherrie Hayashi is the director of the Utah Labor Commission and she answers directly to the governor. The Office of Coal Mine Safety is housed within the Utah Labor Commission. The focus of the OCMS is on prevention. The OCMS wishes to be proactive in mine safety and help ensure every miner return home safely at the end of their shift.
"We must use our experience and knowledge to prevent accidents. The people here today have vast experience. We must be good leaders and show our support for safety. Every day we lead people into a new environment that no one has been in before; we have a good idea what is there, but every day in mining is different. We need to focus on prevention. Prevention can make our operations safer," said Nielson.
"Safety is a culture. We can't rely on luck. Have you ever stopped and thought how many lives you have saved. You are too good at what you do to rely on luck," said Nielson.
The OCMS is working with MSHA to promote safety. They work with MSHA on any incidents. There have been eight incidents so far this year. "We would feel good to never have to go to any incidents," said Nielson. Compliance is a focus but also safety and prevention. "We need to hold accountable anyone who doesn't want safety and doesn't work safely.
Nielson said his office has worked to create an advisory council and he has visited every mine. During his visits to mines and the communities of the miners, he has realized the individuals are the most important part in mining. The most important thing his office can do is to keep miners safe and make sure that family, friends and neighbors all go home at the end of the day.
Nielson said the conference would address a variety of subjects with nine speakers throughout the day. He introduced Debbie King who works in the Price office of the Utah Labor Commission. King works with miner certification. She gave an introduction to the certifications she works with in her office. "The OCMS is a new office, but certification has been around a long time. There are always a lot of questions on where to get training. The state of Utah certifies for five positions including foreman both underground and surface; fire boss and electrician both underground and surface. King's office doesn't do any of the actual training. Trainers at WETC and private companies do the training, her office does the certifications. They also certify for the eight hour refresher course each year and 32 hour new miner certifications.
Records are kept at the state of each person passing any type of certification. Federal certification records are kept at Denver by MSHA. Certifications do expire. If you leave the profession for five years or longer it will expire. You can retest if it expires or is revoked. If an electrician misses their yearly refresher course then they will have to recertify.
King said it is a concern of how to educate and train the next generation of miners and do it so they will do their jobs well and safely. The training consists of two major components both classroom and on the job training. CEU has training programs as well as the Western Energy Training Center and independent miner trainers. CEU offers 15 week training courses for the certifications.
King said it is important that experienced miners pass along their knowledge to incoming miners before they retire. The question of why more miners aren't passing the certifications was discussed. Sometimes those taking the certifications are unprepared. A better job of preparing miners for these certifications must be done. King said her job is to get the information out to the miners. Their job is to study and prepare for the certifications. The labor commission also has a webpage coming in the future where miners will be able to download a study guide and testing schedules. Also coming soon the miners will be able to check and see when their certifications expire.

WUXP-30's Thursday Night Lights game pits the two rivals against each other with kickoff at 7 p.m.
Mt. Juliet is coming off their second straight trip to the State Semifinals, and a 12-2 season. Their season was ended by eventual state champion Whitehaven, 41-35.

To ease traffic concerns, there will be two areas to park and ride to the game via shuttle. You can park at the College Hills Church of Christ or the Fairview Church, both located on Leeville Pike. Beginning at 5 p.m., there will be buses departing from the churches every 15 minutes.

In July one of our guests revealed herself to be the editor of OutreachNC magazine, Carrie Frye. One of her writers had come up with the idea of publishing an article about baby boomers who have decided to become innkeepers. Carrie asked if she could interview us for the article and we were thrilled. The article came out in their August issue. We were one of three inns featured. All three inns were from different parts of the state and represented different stages and styles of inn ownership. We were the rookies, having only owned A Bed of Roses for a year. One couple opened their inn 11 years ago and currently live off-site. The other couple became innkeepers 4 years ago. I've always said, no two B&Bs are alike. That's one of the things that makes staying at an inn a thousand times more interesting than going to a chain hotel!
Carrie, the editor, was a delightful guest and was quite taken with our cats Nadia and Sasha. She sent us lots of photos that I promise to post! In the her editor's notebook blog from August 4th, Carrie revealed that she successfully reproduced our Orange Stuffed French Toast recipe! The recipe appears in the article as well as on our blog's recipe section.
Read the article here, OutreachNC Article. I hope you enjoy it!

Fast Forward in English Education: Policy into PracticeJune 18-21, 2009 - Chicago, IL
Registration Fees
Registration includes opening reception, three breakfasts, two luncheons, and one dinner.
Register today by mailing-in your completed registration form!
Seats for the conference are limited to 150 participants, and for a short time priority registration will be open only to CEE members. So be sure to register before March 1 to reserve your seat (on March 1, we will open registration to all English education professionals).
We are excited to announce that this Conference will feature the following keynote speakers:
Opening Keynote: Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Professor of Education and John E. Cawthorne Millennium Chair in Teacher Education for Urban Schools, Lynch School of Education, Boston College. Her talk is entitled, "What Practitioners Know that Policy Makers Need to Know."
Leila Christenbury, Professor of English Education at Virginia Commonwealth University, will share her experiences returning to the high school classroom after being an English educator for many years, as described in her award winning book Retracing the Journey: Teaching and Learning in an American High School (Teachers College Press, 2007). Christenbury's book recently won CEE's James N. Britton Award.
Anne Ruggles Gere, Professor of English and Education at the University of Michigan and director of the Squire Office for Policy Research for NCTE, will speak about connections between research and English education policy making.
As part of the Conference, you are encouraged to sign up to participate in one of the seven thematic working groups listed below. The conference will combine the benefit of a traditional conference (panels, roundtables, keynote speeches) with the more intimate, goal oriented format of a working retreat.
At the CEE Conference you will also have opportunities to learn about:
The world of English teacher education today is fraught with many challenges, from unforeseen policy initiatives to which we must respond and accreditation visits which often seem inconsistent with our work, to preparing new English teachers to teach an increasingly diverse student body while working in an increasingly restrictive environment. We face these professional challenges while trying to do the work we have always joyfully done: preparing new teachers of English language arts to be as successful as possible in educating today's young people to be literate, clear thinking, and inquisitive citizens who can read, write, and communicate effectively within various contexts and for multiple purposes.
This CEE conference will build on the previous two CEE Leadership and Policy Summits, "fast forwarding" their productive, yet largely philosophical, discussions into the realms of teacher education classroom practice, teacher mentoring, professional development, and goal-centered political advocacy. As the conference title suggests, the aim of this conference is to put our previous efforts developing comprehensive belief and policy statements into real-world practice, with the overarching objective being to begin to implement previously articulated policy initiatives through the creation of written "action plans." These draft action plans will be reviewed by the CEE Executive Committee following the June conference and are subject to the committee's approval before being published or acted upon. The conference will be open to any CEE member and will be comprised of a combination of working groups built around thematic strands as well as more traditional conference presentations and keynote addresses.

Ericsson's ConsumerLab has released the results of a recent study called "Multi Screen Media Consumption 2010", topics that are discussed are:
* Internet-based TV is growing rapidly, with 50 percent of the consumers using it every week
* Promise of future revenues, despite consumers' current unwillingness to pay for online content
* Consumer spending will shift with increase of on-demand
* High interest in touch screen tablet
* Sample representative of more than 300 million consumers
Three interesting points in the report:
At least once a week, 93 percent are still watching scheduled "linear" broadcast TV, but the role of broadcast TV is changing owing to the introduction of new distribution channels. More than 70 percent of consumers surveyed are streaming, downloading or watching recorded broadcast TV on a weekly basis, and 50 percent are using internet-based on-demand TV/video every week.
The consumers are requesting a personalized, easy-to-use, high-quality, on-demand service without commercial breaks as their next TV service.
The study also covers consumers' attitudes to the touch screen tablet and how it fits into their TV consumption; 37 percent are very interested in using a tablet as a remote control.
Broadband TV News further sums up the drivers for the connecting of PC and TV (mentioned in the report):
* To get a larger screen (70%);
* To watch 'PC' content more comfortably (67%);
* To watch 'PC' content together with others (52%) and
* To Show Pictures on the TV screen (47%).
Anders Erlandsson, Senior Advisor at Ericsson ConsumerLab, says:
"The conclusion of our study is that the consumption is fragmented and complex.
There are few established consumption patterns and it's a trial-and-error market with lots of curiosity around it.
The consumer is looking for a solution that can offer them the freedom to choose what they want, when they want it and how they want it.
The user experience is in focus, rather than the technical platform."

Comments: saw them on the shelf at work and bought my self a pack of junebug, used it as a trailer and worked great! the claws are nice and long and give some good action to jigs! starting to become a big jackall fan!
From: Brandon: Canada 2/11/16
Comments: great soft plastic. I really like to flip a bait that has a thinker body to hold a 5/0 flipping hook. This definitely meets that requirement. Great looking craw overall and a pretty big profile at 5". The claws don't really flap too much. Nothing near a rage, paca or even a chigger craw. They have a very subtle shimmy from the bumps on the claws. Overall a really cool bait. These are a bit Expensive though compared to a ton of other baits out there.
From: Luke: CA 5/17/15
Comments: Awesome flip bait and jig trailer.
From: Dave: CA 3/16/15
Comments: Best jig trailor around literally will last all day, Great plastic, great colours and a nice subtle action not too much flapping which is great and also pretty flat sided so it skips fantastic, very durable... all in all a great product I highly recommend
From: Danio: Toronto, Canada 9/25/14
Comments: Off the hook! Great year round versatile bait!Great jig trailer in the fall and winter. Amazing spring and summer bait...just throw it weightless on a 4/0 or 5/0 hook and watch it swim/sink backwards the way a real craw does!
From: Mike: Bay Area, CA
Comments: Basically the same action as a chigger craw.. which is a good thing. this can take a bigger hook than a chigger craw which also is a good thing. all in all a great bait as is the chigger craw.
From: josechmo: flwwinnerland
Comments: I love this back for pitching and flipping, it catches fish one after another. It also holds together good compaired to other Jackall plastic baits. Great product.
From: Mike: GA
Comments: My most favorite craw ever!!!
From: Jordan: Longview, WA
Comments: Great punch bait. The meaty body is perfect for a BMF or Paycheck 4/0 hook. This bait has quickly turned into my go-to Texas rigged craw.
From: Fishndav: West Milford, NJ
Comments:Used these last weekend and really liked their profile and managed to catch three 3# fish in the last hour of my club tournament to get a limit. I will have one tied on rest of the year for sure!
From:Shawn: Illinois, USA
Comments:Just try these this weekend and they worked great. Can't wait until next weekend club fishing tournament. I believe I am coming home with the money!

Journey to the Fin Du Monde
June 22 2009 03:09PM
As loyal Nationeers are aware, something excellent happened last week – something that could only happen when a bunch of ridiculous Oilers fans band together to ensure that they're getting best coverage a young website can provide them with.
Like a pack of maddened, hockey-obsessed jackals, you goons got together and decided to fundraise to send a Nation writer to Montreal so you could get all the Entry Draft coverage you'd ever want. It started with a snide remark Brownlee made about Wanye being a "cheap screw".
And fair enough. Wanye's so cheap he steals empty cans of Lucky Lager and then comes to my place to fill them up with my über-expensive vitamin P. And I have to spend the next week sober. SOBER while trying to maintain order here.
But when long-time OilersNation commenter humantorch (currently livin' large in Holland) suggested he'd pitch in a few bucks to send Brownlee to cover the Draft, well... For those of you just joining us, this should get you up to speed.
Show me the money
I bet a lot of you are wondering how things are going so far. I'm pleased to say that there's no question anymore: we WILL be sending herr Gregor to the 2009 NHL Entry Draft this coming weekend. Will Fraser and Brownlee are even going to cover his show while he's gone!
Here's the breakdown for you:
TEAM 1260 donation: $1,000 Wanye's donation: $500
For a total of $1,500. Not bad, right? What's really astonishing, though, is you guys.
You have raised a whopping $1,815 at last count.
That makes for a grand total of $3,315!
Sweet shit, Nation! You've done it. Gregor, Club Supersex, schooners of Fin Du Monde beer... You'll have your Draft coverage!
Don't stop now
I'm only joking, of course. As stated before, any money raised exceeding what's required for Gregor to cover the Main Event over the weekend will be donated to the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation. So don't stop now! Let's try and get together an obscene amount of money for the kiddies, and I'll make sure Brownlee, Gregor and myself get a photo of us handing over a novelty-sized cheque to the fine men and women at the Stollery.
And who will that cheque be from?
Why, the fine Citizens of the OilersNation.com, of course.
La Fin Du Monde is an awful beer... ick sputter spit spit yuck.
@ Cam:
Seriously? I LOVE Fin du monde. But nothing beats my weekly dose of Pilsner. Good, cheap prairie beer.
Well done by everyone involved! The Stollery is a nice touch and sold me on the idea. Just chipped in a few bucks.
Wow nation, mighty damn good job. All this because of Wayne's drinking problem. As a great philosopher once said "beer, the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems".
June 22 2009, 03:28PM
Great work Nation. I am so proud to be a citizen of this fine Nation because of all of you.
On a side note.... Vitamin P is moose piss. You friggin farmers and your pill. Easterners and their Keith's or Blue and the BC tree huggers with their Samsquanch piss kokanee. There is only one Beer. It's called CANADIAN! yummy.
June 22 2009, 03:31PM
@ Gandalf the Electric Blue:
Two articles in one day? HA Today is a special day.
June 22 2009, 03:40PM
@ bingofuel:
Mmmmmmmm, vitamin P really hits the spot. Way to go Nation!!!
Well done Nation!!! Be proud today!
Enjoy Gregor!
i survived numerous trips to belgium back in my metal days and the unibroue product is as close as Ive found to "belgian style" brews. Very fine stuff....
four thumbs up Oilers nation!
God loves the Prairies and always will...that's why God gave the Prairies delicious Pil...Our lakes are filled with Pil, it's flowing thru our veins, we drink Pil from the skies when it rains.
June 22 2009, 03:55PM
As history has always told us, some of the best ideas ever thought up have come from within a drunken stupor. How else can you explain Smokey Baby Back Rib flavoured potato chips? Only a drunken fool with the munchies could adequately conceive of making a meat flavoured potato chip.
P.S. They're good. I mean, real good.

@ Cam: Seriously? I LOVE Fin du monde. But nothing beats my weekly dose of Pilsner. Good, cheap prairie beer.
Seriously. And the only beer worse was Maudite, which is made by the same brewery.
Now that Lucky Lager on the other hand is good beer - and CHEAP, but not quite as good as Hoegarden Beer, which is my favorite import.
@ The Towel Boy:
I used to work in a restaurant back in the 80's when the Chicken Wing fad started to take off. I remember we started out having Wing nights and if we sold 60 or 70 wings we were doing good. Then it turned from 60 to 70 to hundreds and then to thousands of Wings a night within a few months. The Farmer who delivered the chicken said that back in the day the Chicken Wings portion of the Chicken were usually thrown away or used in soup. Mad props to the drunken fool who thought up the Chicken Wing!
@ Travis Dakin:
I told you, Wanye vanished. Someone's got to hold down the fort!
~Funny that Ratlanders like the stuff so much seein how it was originally brewed in Lethbridge.~
A funny movie behind the label on the website http://www.oldstylepilsner.com/home.php
BTW - Everyone deserve the 'attaboy award' the work done on Friday.
I am a fan of Big Rock's beer, Sleeman as well. I generally like to try out as many new things as I can. So what's the deal, is Gregor going to give blog updates all day, insider info, updated constantly on the Nation?
@ bingofuel:
I think Wanye is just nursing a massive hang over after drinking all of the 'Saskatchewan Champagne' he stole from you crib.
I prefer the 'pilsner' brew of Kokanee over the green diesel.
June 22 2009, 04:19PM
@ bingofuel: You're far more prolific than him. I like it.
@ erixon:
That's the idea. As many updates as often as possible.
The Towel Boy wrote:

It is really a very ancient idea. Our good friends the Persians (before trying to invade Greece and give us the movie 300) had the sage advice 'consider all matters drunk and then again in the morning sober. If it seemed good then they act upon it.'
Mind you, it is also the source of numerous unintended consequences/children too.
But still, well done Nation.
@ Gregor:
I'm listening to your show... You asked the question Hossa or Heatley?
Despite having a poor final; I think Hossa is a better overall player than Heatley. Hossa may also be available at a 7.5 cap hit without giving up other assets leaving Oilers management free to move players/salary to address other needs...
That said, if the Oilers want to win NOW, it may be worth considering that Hossa has played around 225 games in the last two years and is heading into another extremely short offseason. How big an effect will a double Stanley Cup hangover have on his game?
June 22 2009, 04:45PM
@ Chris:
Heatley Every single second of everty minute of every hour of every day, 365 time a year over Hossa. I've said it before, Hossa is just what Hemsky is on the verge of becoming. This team needs someone to play with Hemsky, not another player we need to find a match for.
@ Travis Dakin: I completely agree - we need a finisher for Hemsky and Gags to set-up. Hossa is a terrific player, but does not fill our holes. Also, if we were to sign Hossa, we'd be dealing from a position of weakness trying to rid ourselves of salary. every GM in the league would know we needed to have a fire sale.
I was just telling bingofuel over Twitter that while I'm shocked that my semi-drunken offhand comment here a few days ago got this whole thing rolling, the fact that the Oilers Nation staff decided to donate any excess raised to the Stollerey is the real Hero Moment of this entire thing, and I can't say "thank you" to them enough times for that.
Getting Gregor to the draft is a pretty cool accomplishment for a bunch of hockey nerds on the internet, but doing so while also raising well north of $1000 for sick kids? Pardon my french, but that's pretty f**king awesome.
You guys rule. 'Nuff said.
June 22 2009, 05:03PM
@ The Menace: Exactly. I'm tired of them half-assing the hole patching with good players in wrong positions. Need a left winger? Well holy crap one of the best in the game is available. TAKE HIM!
@ Travis Dakin: No kidding. And frankly, I don't care who we have to give up (aside from Hemsky and Gagner). We can hope that Cogliano will be pretty good one day (and I think he will be), but Heatley is a *great* player. no one we currently have in the organization has potential to be as good at thier position as Heatley is at his.
So it's Gregor in Montreal huh? I've seen him around town - the guy lives large. My guess is we're still about a grand short. ;)
We've spent 10+ years trying to rebuild this team around B+ players, and getting mediocre results (2006 aside). This is a proven A player at his position, that you can actually build an offense around. We would be nuts not to do everything we can to get him.
@ Travis Dakin: @ The Menace:
I agrree that Heatley looks like a better overall fit for the Oilers... but who is the better player? It's close.
As for fit, Heatley is a natural left winger; He's a true sniper; And most importantly, he may be had via trade... instead of risking missing out (AGAIN) during free agency.
When I said Hossa is the better overall player; I was referring to the total package. Hossa is more versatile than Heatley: he can play center, or either wing. Also, Hossa is generally regarded as being very defensively responsible, posts great offensive numbers, and has a refreshingly ego free, workmanlike attitude for a star.
That said, I think I'd be more excited to see Heatley in Oilers silks.
@ Travis Dakin:
DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT VIATMIN P LIKE THAT. Us good old southern Alberta boys have been smashing Pilsner since I was a strapping young farm hand!
Everytime I drink it, it's like an angel pissing down my throat!
Personally I think Heatly is the better fit of the two. We need a sniper. Also, Chris makes a good point about Hossa's workload over the last 2 seasons.
Now if we can get Heatly to come carrying a couple flats of Pil, we really have something going.
Just another reason why oiler fans are the most knowledgeable fans around. We send our own insider to the draft!
Funny thing is the nation has one more representative to send to the draft than Phoenix can afford!
June 22 2009, 06:21PM
What time does the Draft actually start on Friday?
June 22 2009, 06:21PM
@ Chris: I'd say Hossa is the more complete player too. But I honestly believe that Hemsky is a reasonable comparison, or rather will be one to to Hossa. They bring the same elements. Hemsky just needs a Heatley to play with.
@ The Menace: I said almost that exact thing over a BDHS. Cogs is good but will never be Heatley AND he will require a HUGE cap hit in the near future. No way we keep him and Gagner and get a superstar. Heatley is two superstars in one because he will make Hemsky one.
@ B-Rad: Just like I said... friggin farmers and their Pill. God that is some crap beer. haha I think it is the only beer I can't drink. I'd take a "Beer" beer (remeber the one in the peach coloured box with red writing?) or a BIG BEAR over that crap.

Or Mountain Crap...er...Crest.
@ Travis Dakin:
Pilsner (Originally Lethbridge Beer) can be quite tasty if served extremely cold... I'm talking frozen mug tooth ache cold. With Pil, the test of manhood has nothing to do with one's ability to down large quantities in short periods of time. The true test lies in the rare ablity to dodge the debilitating hangover that so often accompanies this delightfully cheap hootch. Alas, it is a test I'm no longer able to pass.

When I was in school I found ways to live it up on a small budget. I'm getting a ride to airport to save on wasted parking fees, and will be eating at every free media meal as possible.
Outside of blogs, I think some photos will be present. Since you are responsible for the trip, I will try to give you a sense of what happens. I just hope I don't have a repeat of my first ever work trip to Montreal.
Seeing an overweight scribe standing buck naked at the doorway to his room as I stumbled in at seven in the morning still haunts me today.

Black Label was the best by far. When you are in college/university cheap beer tastes great. Black Label was a the beer of choice for a few years...Good times.

Jason - Just having some fun. I've wanted to come up to you and shake your hand, but you're always surrounded by the ladies. Let me tell you guys, Gregor is baller status!
Have a great trip and thanks for carrying the torch for all of us.
June 22 2009, 08:11PM
Geez... these people on this site sure makes a guy all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Thanks for giving everyone.
Brewhouse is the tops. It used to be $9 a case when you buy 6. That is money well spent.
That video is awesome......... and I am from Battleford!!

2 spoilers for chapter 367
translated by hajimajinbuu
[from 2chan]
Sauske: I knew that was you, though I don't know everything. Itachi, I'm not young
anymore I know everything.
(He looks hopefully at Itachi, but though he tries to
grasp this, Itachi's brilliance baffles them.)
itachi: Young enough?
Sauske: It's a pity. Every one in Hebi ought to be able
to do something. But I will be the one to put a stop to you.
Itachi: You can't stop me now sauske, you are definately stronger in skills than me and I can see that you have achieved the mangekyou sharingan. But its not as strong as mine?
Sauske: I will determine that.. I will kill you , you left me battered and alone. But you went of to join a gang, you have never been alone!
Itachi: Listen, this is not a gang that i am apart of. It's a club, Akatsuki. And you will join it after my death.
Sauske: i will not do as you say.
Itachi: Because of that you will. I familiarly sometimes use you for my fool, Your sharingan will jest upon my akatsuki for my replacement. And take on my serious missions. When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport. But you will creep in crannies when (i dontknow who this is- hij) hides his beams, you will jest with me, know my aspect, And fashion your demeanour to my looks, Or I will beat this method in your bone.
Sauske: So you would leave me beaten will you, I had rather have it a head. An you use your sharingan for much longer, your eyesight will diminsh. I must get to the level higher than the mangekyou sharingan for my sake or else I shall seek my wit in my shoulders.
Itachi: only one person has acheived the Kenbikyo Sharingan and he couldn't not do it alone, he needed to borrow power....Itachi asks Sasuke if he has obtain it yet(He means Mangekyo Sharingan)
Sasuke doesn't answer so itachi uses Tskuyomi on him and shows Sasuke his father and mother trying to defeat him
Sasuke is brought to his knee's and Itachi mocks him for being so weak and calls him a failed experiment
Itachi tells Sasuke that his only purpose was to be used as a test to see if he(itachi) had become strong enough to kill Madara and the Kyuubi.
Itachi confirms that his true goal is to end the uchiha bloodline and the demon that they are affiliated with, for the good of the world. He also tells Sasuke that he plans to ask naruto to kill himself to end the kyuubi's exsistance in the world forever. He also says he thinks naruto will accept his fate like Sasuke should accept his own and with no futher purpose take his own life as well.

From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
Jefferson first mentions tomatoes in Query VI of his Notes on the State of Virginia: "The gardens yield muskmelons, watermelons, tomatas, okra, pomegranates, figs, and the esculent plants of Europe." [1] One of our research historians notes that "Jefferson does not single out tomatoes as unusual objects in Virginia gardens, and in other parts of the country, the fruit was also available."[2] He recorded planting tomatoes all of the years that he kept his Garden Book Kalendar (1809-1824), and included them in his chart of vegetables sold in the markets in Washington, D.C.[3] Tomatoes commonly appear in the Jefferson family recipe collections.
Jefferson himself never mentioned the belief by some that tomatoes were poisonous. There is a story that, on a visit to Lynchburg, he terrified one of the locals when he paused to snack on a tomato on the steps of the Miller-Claytor house;[4] our researchers have found no proof that this incident ever happened.

Dr. Dre's friendship with The Game may have some competition as now there is a new 'Dre' in town, with whom the Los Angeles-born MC is getting buddies with. Well actually it's the production duo of Cool and Dre, who we're talking about. The Miami-based producers are the creative force behind 'Red Nation'-the first single of Game's forthcoming studio collection The R.E.D. Album.
Speaking with MTV from his hometown city of Los Angeles where he was busy shooting the Red Nation video, Game lavished immense praise on his longtime collaborators. He said that from his very initial days in the rap business to his current project, Cool and Dre have always been supportive and have provided him with great material for him throughout his rap career. Game considers the two as his brothers in the music industry and they have always responded by repaying the respect that the Game has for them. 'Red Nation,' 'Big Dreams' and the Ne-Yo featuring 'Camera Phone' are all shining examples of the trio's understanding and hitmaking combination.

By CHARMAINE SHARPCastle Dale
One of the saddest and most repetitive lessons in history is the fact that once a city, people or nation legalize or generally accept the open slaughter of innocent children their days are numbered. Many so called great civilizations have within their ever expanding moral view found exceptional circumstances where the most innocent may be killed without penalty (or so they thought).
Experts who have studied child sacrifice have determined that most societies who kill their own children have a life expectancy of 50 years or less and then whether a mountain miles away blows up and covers them with fire and ash or a foreign enemy suddenly and unexpectedly crushes them etc., their child sacrifices stop.
It seems that once a society has lost its most fundamental love and respect for human life, they start making fatal mistakes which lead them to moral and then total ruin. In 1973 who would have imagined the America we live in today?
On Jan. 22 (the anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade decision). We remember and know God remembers the 48,000,000 children killed by surgical abortions in the United States and the untold billions killed by pills etc. throughout the world.

Almost Home
Robert Cleave
May 19 2011 10:21PM
As a Winnipegger, I've spent the last couple of years watching the NHL's endless machinations to keep a team in Phoenix with considerable amusement and maybe just a touch of anger. For all the talk of arenas and owners, or lack thereof, I'd be lying if I said that I ever felt as if my Arctic outpost got the same level of league attention when things were going to hell in '94 and '95.
So tonight, as the first bits of news have begun trickling in that my hometown really was on the verge of getting a second bite at the cherry, I'm struck by how unsettled I'm feeling about the whole enterprise.
By 1996, like so many Jets' fans, I was completely fed up with the NHL, and yet even then, the economic conditions that had sent the Nordiques away and threatened the Oilers and Flames were hard to ignore if one chose to be honest about the situation.
The Canadian dollar was headed for a lengthy swoon, and anyone foolhardy enough to own a team in a marginal market like Winnipeg was going to need deep pockets and extra revenue streams from a modern facility to cope. Even then, any team in that economic environment was still certain to be a very questionable proposition.
The owner and building didn't happen, obviously, and away they went, headed to their desert oasis so that they might continue a long history of never being very good. My fandom, like most people's, was rooted in local bonds built during childhood that carried on into my adult years. As a result, after the team moved the Coyotes became just another team from a place I didn't give a rat's ass about, no different from St. Louis or L.A. or PIttsburgh.
My indifference was mostly real, with only a slight bit of covering for the disappointment, and that attitude appeared to be shared by most of my fellow Manitobans. The Coyotes didn't exactly carry many fans with them from here, and obviously I'm in that number that chose to gravitate elsewhere.
Even as the league's center of financial power began to shift north after the lockout, there was still that nagging sense that the NHL's move to conquer the Sunbelt was too precious a project to be allowed to simply fail without a monumental effort in every shaky market to prop things up. We've certainly seen that in Phoenix, and a cynic, or a realist, take your pick, might have thought that it would happen again elsewhere.
As a result, the default position for most people was that the league brass would rather die in a fire than retrace their steps to Winnipeg. Time has never really healed the wound here, and if anyone doubted that, the reaction by the locals during these last two years of speculation that a team might well be viable again in our mosquito-ridden hellhole should have tipped everyone off. Bruce Arthur touched on this the other day, showing a decent understanding of this insular spot for an auslander.
This really has been a community struggling very hard to rein in its hope so as not to be crushed if things went badly, and as the events of the last few days have sent this affair near the finish line, I was reminded of an article from the past that had nothing at all to do with hockey and absolutely everything to do with here.
Paul Tough passed through these parts nearly a decade ago to interview John K. Samson of the Weakerthans, and ended up writing more than a few hard truths about Winnipeg and its citizens. I was always particularly struck by this bit:
At the same time, there is a small-town resentment that often gets expressed as a complicated kind of self-loathing.
I can't imagine a sentence that could possibly do a better job of describing the local zeitgeist that has been in place since forever, and even in these days where hope has replaced our normal skepticism about the motives of people in the league office, there's still the clear sense that the NHL is only coming here because of an abject failure elsewhere, and not out of a belief that we were done wrong in the '90s or that Winnipeg was a first choice market in their eyes.
As an aside, it's also, from my perspective, slightly unseemly to gloat over the failure of that other market, for whatever reasons it might have occured. As I mentioned last week, it's not always easy to be a fan in the Southern U.S., and if their team is leaving, the people that cheered the Thrashers have every reason to feel as if they were let down in a way. I've been there. I get it. It feels like crap.
With that all said, tonight is a night where the people here can begin to hope, in a tangible way, that something that means so much to so many will again grace our city in a meaningful way. Whether there is enough support for a viable franchise to exist in the long term is still an open question, but for the first time in a decade and a half, Winnipeg will have a proper chance to offer its answer.

Bob your writing here for the Flames has been amazing but no hard feelings from anyone here if you switch allegiances to your city's new team! I for one hope that Wanye and the Nation staff instill you as the lead writer of JetsNation or whatever it may be called if you have the time for that!
All in all, congrats!
May 19 2011, 10:50PM
Pretty cool article Bob. You know I was never really a Jets fan to begin with, but was mad as hell when they left Winnipeg. Even though part of me felt like "The Peg" blew it on their own behalf by fans not showing up for the games, the majority of me felt like a great injustice was being done to a country that gave this great game life. It was not a dignified end at all.
Over the past 15 years my opinion has shifted away from blaming the fans in Winnipeg to the apathetic interests of the NHL in protecting one of their own in favour of searching out fat wallets in the US with big television markets. I wonder now what the is the use of having a viewership of 20 million people that aren't interested in watching what you're selling?
And what of the opinion I used to have of the fans in Winnipeg? Well that changed too. Winnipeg was a city that was hit hard by a down economy and you can hardly blame a ticket holder that chooses to provide for his or her family rather that providing for a millionaire's.
I guess in the end, I'm thrilled to have the Jets back in fhe fold and I'm happy for all the fans in Winnipeg, including yourself Bob,to once again have the chance to show the NHL that you too can be a great Canadian hockey city.
So to you on this night, I say CONGRATS!

Good stuff Bob. Should post this on ON too.
I've put it up across the Nations.
May 20 2011, 12:19AM
Does anyone else think that they might be possibly working out a franchise history exchange with the Coyotes?
The league owns the Coyotes and they could do an exchange where the "Trashers" get all history, the "jets" name and all records prior to them leaving the Peg. Phoenix gets to keep there citys hockey history and the "Trashers" keep 1996 and earlier?
Of course if this is true
May 20 2011, 12:21AM
Great news for Winnipeg! Great news for Canada and the NHL!
I'm looking fwd to the first game against the Oil!
Jets nation coming soon...
Awesome news for the NHL and hockey in general.
May 20 2011, 12:56AM
Too bad it couldn't have been from Phoenix. Would've been cool to see Doan go through a full 180 in terms of team geography.
May 20 2011, 12:56AM
"At the same time, there is a small-town resentment that often gets expressed as a complicated kind of self-loathing."
This sounds AWFULLY familiar. "No one wants to come play in Edmonton cause the crappy weather". "There's nothing to do in this crappy town". "There's no culture here", "There's no nightlife here" etc, etc, lather, rinse, repeat.
Good for Winnipeg (if it actually happens and it probably will). I'm mostly glad that Edmonton has now moved up down to number 2 on the least desirable places to play in the NHL list.
Now, where's a good place to store all my "Save The Jets 2022" signs?
Blue Bombers and Jets. There is some aviation fetish down there.
May 20 2011, 01:34AM
I have to admit that after reading Roberts article this really hits home for me. As a former Winnipegger that was there, at the corner of Portage and Main during the rallies, and having donated to try to save the team I think there will be mixed feelings for many people if the Thrashers come to town. It really struck me that after reading many stories and comments on Flames Nation this is what had me sign up to put in my 2 cents worth. I'm a Flames season ticket holder and have been a fan since I moved here 12 years ago from Winnipeg. As a kid growing up in Winnipeg, and of course a Jets fan I can remember being at the corner of Portage and Main, years before they left town to see Ben Hatskin sign Bobby Hull to that million dollar contract. There is a laminated picture of that event attached to a toolbox in my garage just a few feet away from this computer. Its just a cool picture of an event in time that I always liked. When I was 15 years old I played in a golf tournament in WPG called the Police and Pal I think and Bobby Hull was a guest in our foursome. If the Jets do go back to WPG I hope that some other kid there has the opportunity to have these kind of memories with a future star player that I did with a star from the past. When the Jets left town Barry Shenkarow had to either chose to make millions or lose millions. I would have done what he did too. Nicely done article Robert I enjoyed reading it. I hope for all the fans in WPG the dream comes true and your prepared to support a team for a long time. It won't come cheap but you can do it. I'm a Flames fan now but if the Jets ever come back and go on a run in the playoffs when the Flames are out of it I will definately cheer for them.

Just for a laugh (fountain tire guy)
I belly laughed! Thanks that is great! I really will be happy to have a "Jets Nation" Another CDN team to loathe upon and stir the fire. Hope to meet the Jets in the western conference final in 3 years.
This is great for Winnipeg, but I hope the fans will show up for the games like they support the Moose!
Here's another gem...
Playing in the South East Division your Winnipeg Jets. Realignment. Teemu Selanne signs for a last time with the Jets. Don Whittman is rolling over in his grave. Bring back the Queen.
May 20 2011, 07:46AM
It is amazing to me that the words "zeitgeist" and "Winnipeg" can appear in the same article.
Good show.
Now there is a free agent destination worse than Edmonton.
May 20 2011, 07:53AM
Great article. Props.
This is awesome for Winnipeg!only problem is if they get a team won't cowtown want one too?
May 20 2011, 08:16AM
@Captain Ron
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing Ron.
(edit) was not meant for @TC - meant for the Cleaver
I agree with the sentiment. The lack of NHL execs officially or unofficially waving the "woo hoo" flag is all we need to see.
The NHL brass are not fans of this.
Like when all the girls leave with other guys... except that one in the corner, and she reminds you of your sister.
Go 'peg.
Another team to cheer for against the 'nucks and the 'lames. And of course the Maple Laffs.
(Hire Dale Hawerchuck is some capacity too.)
May 20 2011, 08:33AM
jetnation.com goes to the NY Jets website. Would you still be able to do a jetsnation?
I already hate the Winnipeg Whatevers and look forward to the Oilers thrashing them over the next decade or so.

Im sure we'll figure something out.
May 20 2011, 09:07AM
What a fantastic column! I moved in 1995 after all of the crap that went down with Winnipeg Enterprises, I just enough of the city and the negativity. As a result of moving to Edmonton, the impossible happened...I became an Oilers fan. A big one!
So now I'm looking at the return of a team to my place of birth square in the eye and I think, do I still love her? Man it's going to be wierd the first time the Winnipeg whatever's come to Edmonton. It's like having two girlfriends in the same room.
I guess I'm going to become one of those idiot's who saw two jerseys in half and cheer for both teams...I always hated those guys.
On the bright side I improve my chances of seeing one of my teams win on a nightly basis.
Add in the arena news here and this has been a great week for hockey!
Nice piece RC.
Still calling you a traitor, but it's all good.
The city in that picture looks very nice. It couldn't possibly be Winnipeg, could it? I was going to say that I felt a bit of what you're feeling, being in the 2nd least desireable destination in the NHL, and all that, but then I found out you cheer for the Flames... Hilarious quote from above, "Now that Winnipeg has a team, won't Cowtown want one too?"
If you look up Winnipeg in Wikipedia and look under the sports section it says Winnipeg Jets (re-establishment), league = National Hockey League, venue = MTS Centre, established = 2011, championships = 0. Go to Click on the link and it says page does not exist, therefore its only a rumor the NHL is going back to Winnipeg because you can't lie on Wikipedia or the internet for that matter. This leads me to summize that Gary Bettman must be in charge of Wikipedia because he doesn't want anymore Canadians teams and he never wants another Canadian team to win the cup.
May 20 2011, 10:01AM
I couldn't be happier for the city of Winnepeg.
The first thing they should do though is shore up their goaltending....Bryzgalov is a UFA right?
May 20 2011, 10:05AM
It is amazing to me that the words "zeitgeist" and "Winnipeg" can appear in the same article.
Good show.
Now there is a free agent destination worse than Edmonton.
I don't quite know where this sentiment is coming from. I've lived in Edmonton and I live in Winnipeg right now. Winnipeg's summers are actually a little nicer than Edmonton's, and the winters are probably about the same. The travel schedule will be a little easier for a team in Winnipeg, especially once the new airport terminal opens in 2012. I would imagine Winnipeg and Edmonton will be nearly identical in terms of where players want to play.
Edit: The nightlife is better in Edmonton, but the restaurant scene in Winnipeg is outstanding (except that you can't get a donair here, ever). Roads are better in Edmonton, but there's the whole cabin/cottage scene in Manitoba with all the lakes.
May 20 2011, 10:17AM
As hockey fans, Winnipeg certainly hasn't missed much since moving in the mid 90's. Since the yr the Jets left i think the Oilers have only made the playoffs 4 times in the 15 yrs. During this span, both Edmonton and Calgary have been like kids showing at a fantasy draft, not knowing their only there to pad the pot.
Believe me, you haven't missed much since 96.
Is that a picture of Winnipeg? I didn't know they had tall buildings.

I think it's taken care of, as long as they call them the Jets. Unfortunately, there's already been a lot of talk that they won't be the Jets, which renders the whole 'jetsnation' subject kind of moot.
Jets or not, I'm pretty sure they'll have their own Nation site.
So which West conference team moves over to the East? I'm assuming the Winnipeg team would be a western conference team. Detroit? Chicago?

I'm looking forward to Jets Nation, Thrashers Nation, Moose Nation...whatever name they go with. Get in on the Winnipeg blogoshpere early Wayne!

Betty promised the Wings that they'd be the next Western team to move to the East, but rumours abound that the Jets/Moose will simply take Atlanta's spot in the SE div for next season.
Great stuff, Robert. I've missed the Jets, they were (the) one team we could always kick the crap out of.
@Matty Franchise Jr
Nashville or Columbus would be naturals to move to the east. I would perfer to see the more competitive Predators in the east.
They should call them the Manitoba Mosquitos or just the plain old Winnipeg Insects, so we can enjoy crushing them.

Lived near Winnipeg pretty much my entire life, but will always still cheer for the Oilers first..but will definitely be a very big fan of the Jets.. They gotta do whatever they gotta do to get that team name back..if they Call them the Moose or Falcons or something like that, tickets wouldnt sell the same..the Hardcore fans would go..but all those casual sports fans that show up only because its their home team, not because they are actually dedicated fans of the sport wont show because the Moose will always just be the Moose to them, plus the connection to Vancouver makes me almost throw up.. Went to an Oilers VS Vancouver Pre season game here in Winnipeg a few years ago..and believe it or not, Oilers jerseys were outnumbering Canucks almost two to one...

This is great for Winnipeg, but I hope the fans will show up for the games like they support the Moose!
Here's another gem...
As I like to say:
There is a Simpson's quote for every occasion.

New name in-light of flooding:
~Manitoba Dykes
I like the name Winnipeg Threshers. Has the agriculture feel to it. I also heard the Winnipeg Breached Dikes somewhere, but that one doesn't have the same ring to it.
I couldn't be happier for the city of Winnepeg.
The first thing they should do though is shore up their goaltending....Bryzgalov is a UFA right?
How about a Khabibulin reunion? :)
Here's one: The Winnipeg Flood, althoug the I here the NHL, Tru North Sports and Atlanta Spirit Group are all denying the deal, the Globe and Mail blew the whistle too soon

Nothing is confirmed yet - that's true. But the Winnipeg mayor went on record as saying that the Jets are coming home. He doesn't say that unless he knows it's true.
The legal beagles are crossing the t's and dotting the i's, but at this point it's going to happen. If there was a major hurdle that could derail this deal, they'd have hit it by now and the people that matter wouldn't be saying what they're saying.

I've heard a lot of names tossed around. To me, the smart money goes with Manitoba Jets (and a re-designed logo) as the new name. Jets gear has been selling here consistently for the past 15 years.
The fans are going to wear their Jets jerseys to every game, just like they wear it now to Moose games. It'd be bad PR for the first game back to have 15,003 fans wearing Jets gear if the team is named anything else...
IN an almost related twist of fate, the Winnipeg Thrashers won the Telus Cup (National Midget Championship)this year. How is that for irony...

|In response to Re: Backfilling trench in slab
It strictly depends on what kind of material it is. If it is a lot of rocks then you do not want to put that directly on the pipe. If it is fine sand or gravel then you can use it to fill the trench.
: I finished moving my PVC drain pipes within a 4' x 1' trench cut out of the concrete slab in my basement. Got the city inspector to come out and give me the green light that all is up to code and ready to backfill.
: I've not worked with a concrete pad before and would like some insight if anyone is willing to share. Do I throw back in the dirt I took out, put a layer of plastic across it, add an inch or so of gravel an pour and level 4" of concrete. Is it necessary to use sand to cover the pipes? Any other items I should look out for as I fill it in?
