Notice to WEIU Viewers with DirecTV Service
We're reaching out to you today because of an urgent issue that is impacting your ability to view WEIU programs. DirecTV has recently relocated one of its satellite receivers to an AT&T building in Decatur, which was formerly located in Springfield.
Normally, this would not be an issue, as Decatur is still in our market as defined by the FCC. However, WEIU signals do not reach this location in Decatur with the minimum quality required by the DirecTV.
As a result, DirecTV has dropped WEIU from its satellite carriage — and viewers who have previously been able to receive our unique programming like Being Well, City Spotlight, The Paw Report, NewsWatch can now no longer watch these programs at home.
As part of a must-carry agreement, DirecTV is required to fund any expenses we would incur in providing them our signal if this relocation happened before a normal renewal cycle (which it has) ... unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be happening.
This is why we need your help. Please reach out to DirecTV and request that it carries WEIU — let them know how important it is for this channel to come back in your viewing area. Please call DirecTV at 1-855-802-3473 and let them know that WEIU is an educational programming asset in your community and you can't afford to lose it.

Simple and effective.
When you pull on the DND Gloves, you're treating your hands to technical features, expert craftsmanship, and Giro quality. So, how did this enticing level of perfection come into existence? Simple. The DND Super Fit design has evolved with Giro's diverse team of cyclists and engineers on trails all over the world for multiple years.
This latest iteration uses a palm constructed from three pieces of durable Clarino synthetic leather. This ensures that the glove won't end up like unsolicited credit offers when you plant the DND on rocks. But, most importantly, the three Super Fit panels expertly follow your palms' natural contours to eliminate any bunching at the grips, where blood flow and trail feedback are most essential.
The precise theme continues to the back of the hand as well. Here, you'll find a moisture-wicking, four-way stretch mesh. This material is not only breathable, but it's also snug enough to quickly pull away and evaporate moisture without inhibiting circulation. Along the fingers, flex zones at the knuckles ensure shifting and braking happens as fast as neurons fire. Meanwhile, reinforced tips with silicone grippers are hard-wearing for durability, while also ensuring positive engagement with the levers.
The Giro DND Gloves are available in five sizes, from Small to XX-Large, and in the colors Black/charcoal, Black/rad star, Blue Tech, and Bright Green/black, Green Camo/gum, and Lead/gum.
- Super Fit palm with Clarino synthetic leather
- Four-way stretch breathable mesh upper
- 2mm EVA crash padding
- Reinforced fingertips with silicone printing on braking fingers
- Flex zones at knuckles

DND Glove
This was a gift for my BF who just got back into bike riding.. Nothing fancy about these gloves, less is more. Easy to take on and off, fun designs and colors and fit true to size
Great fit and simple
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Nice simple design. No palm padding, no velcro. Just pull them on and shred.
$ Money $
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I feel like these DND gloves are pretty close to perfect for me. They fit extremely well, offer just enough material on the back of the hand / knuckles to take the sting off of tree branches and other trail side obstacles, they don't have any bulky padding (no padding at all actually) and that is exactly what I am after.
Look no further
- Fit: True to size
I abused a pair of these for a solid season before needing to replace. It was eventually a good fall that ripped a few seams that had been loosening up. And I ended up replacing them with an identical pair. Super low profile, tight, ergonomic, no velcro or anything else. Good fabric on the thumb for a snot pad if you need it.
You're the Best Mark R!
Less Is More
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
What I like most about the DND glove is the lack of bulk and use of strategically placed features for grip and stability. I was looking for a XC/Cyclocross glove that gave me great feel and sensitivity and the DND deleivered. Initially they fit small and somewhat tight, but after one ride they had relaxed and fit like, well, a glove. Flex zones on the finger joints and medial side of the wrist was a nice touch.
The simple design using Clarino synthetic leather and the four-way stretch upper allow breathing and are somewhat cool during warmer days.
Simple and Bold
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I have a couple pair of the Giro Dnd Gloves in rotation, and can't thing of anything I don't like about them. I don't expect them to last until 2025, and I don't want them to--fresh gloves are, along with cool socks and riding downhill, a pleasurable part of cycling.
They do run a little small. I wear either Large or Extra-Large in most gloves, and I go for XL in Giro Gloves.
Gift for boyfriend
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
The Giro DND glove is the perfect blend of minimalist design and durability. Love the simplistic wrist cuff - no bulky zippers or velcro. Easy to put on and remove - even under sweaty on-trail conditions. I prefer the simplified plain fabric versions than those with the screen printed designs or textures. Purchased the black version but did not like the 'harshness' of the screen print on the top side of the glove - felt like it could be a bit 'scratchy' under use.
Fits tru to size - fingers seem a bit long for my hand size however.
Solid, Simple gloves
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
My hand circumference is a bit over 9" and fingertip - palm length is 7.75" - I bought mediums, maybe should have sized up to larges. its a tight squeeze getting them on, once they're on, they fit great. Might loosen up around the wrist after wearing them a bit more. The wrist feels tight to get on, but I would say the gloves themselves fit true to size.
-Leather palm feels great already and will likely get broken in even more with more use. Some gloves feel loose or just not quite right when riding, these don't have that doubt at all.
-Haven't dealt with hot spots on the gloves yet.
-Thumb, pointer, and middle finger have a silicone for braking. Usually only use pointer, but a nice touch.
-Backside of thumb has a soft material that won't rough up nose when wiping it.
- Wrist of the glove is really right to get hands into. That said, I may have wanted to size up to a large, but didn't want excess material once they're on. This isn't helped by the fact that these aren't adjustable, but I wouldn't list that as a con.
- Not exactly smartphone friendly. Can sort of work buttons, but not consistent at all.
- Pretty solid bang-for-your-buck glove. I personally maybe should have sized up to a large, but they fit great once on. I'm happy with them and would recommend them for other people as well.
Very tight
- Fit: Runs small
This is my 3rd medium size Giro "DND" and I was just surprised how tight it was compared to my last 2 sets. This one was made in Vietnam but my older sets are from China so it's probably the materials that they had used. I just hope that it will break in nicely.
My 4th Pair.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I use DNDs almost every day for commuting, road riding, and some dirt shredding. Giro labels these as dirt gloves, but they're amazing all-rounders. Whether I'm in the drops, or on risers, I absolutely love the barfeel of the DNDs.
The gloves obviously don't have any velcro, so they look super clean, but that means they take a bit of a beating taking them on and off. I've had some quality issues with the gloves coming unstitched (mainly in the lycra expansion panel). But the feel, looks, and cost keeps me coming back for more pairs in more colors. These gloves fit me fairly snug, so I size up one size from my other Giro gloves.
I love the brighter colors and use them for extra visibility during my commutes during the winter and fall. Despite their lightness, I've found they keep me warm down to the mid to lower 40s, but anything lower than that and I'm struggling to keep warm.
Bottom line: These are winners for whatever bike I'm taking out, in almost every condition.
Rasta Riding
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I'm a fan of Rasta riding gear, I can't help it. The gloves fit well with the pull on cuff and have been comfy with their soft thick fabric. I have used them on a handful of trail rides along with DJ and pump track sessions. So far no issues that others have experienced but as I get more use with them who knows.
Good fit, no issues yet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
They seem to be holding up after a couple months of trail riding despite the negative reviews from others. Maybe the different colors use different material? I have the olive/yellow. Fit is great, nice and snug on the fingers. Good grip and nice to have the silicone pads.
Great all-arounder
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: M
I purchased these gloves primarily for CX, but I have ended up wearing them on the road quite a bit as well. Warm enough to work for a chilly ride, but not too much heat once it warms up. The palms are well vented and the articulated knuckles on the index and middle fingers definitely make manipulating the brake levers more comfortable.
The colors are cool, and I love the suede leather palms, but the stitching on the fingers is already coming loose. Other than that, they protect your hand but don't make it a sweat shop which is nice.
Look good
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: m
These gloves are sharp looking and fit very well. I purchased the gloves to take backpacking and they were just what I was looking for.
Great Gloves!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
I have consistently been purchasing these gloves since the first time I tried them, huge fan! The fit is perfect, from finger length to the palm, very snug and comfortable, you don't even realize you are wearing them. They slip on and off with ease and no intrusive strap. Love the cloth part over the thumb to swipe the sweat from my face!! I have washed my gloves at least a dozen times and got over a year of use. I just found a stitch starting to unravel this past week. Time to order another pair!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I picked these up in the spring, and have worn them on two or three rides a week this spring and summer. I have had gloves with clarino palms wear out prematurely before (looking at you 661) but these are holding up well for me. The interior or the gloves have no obtrusive seams or uncomfortable spots. The wrists are easy on-and-off and have trim fit without needing a velcro adjustment tab. I wear either Large or Extra-large in most gloves, and find that the Extra-large Giro gloves fit me best.
Sh**ty AF
I bought these gloves like a week ago and after two rides, the Palm material is completely worn out. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the camo color is sick. Don't buy these gloves unless you want to have to ship them back or buy new ones.
Very comfortable but durability question
I got these only a few months ago and already have a hole in my thumb :-(
Other than that these are very comfortable and give adequate protection for cross-country mtb riding.
There is no wrist closure strap, so the wrist flexes well during use.
Would give 5 stars if more durable!
Very comfortable and well made.

You are what you drink.
Do you ever get about halfway up a climb and feel like your legs are about to give out? Would it help to have a little extra motivation? That picture of your girlfriend won't do it. The recording of your father explaining what a disappointment you are won't help, either. What you need is a reminder of the reward that awaits at the end of your ride–a delicious, frothy beverage. The Niner YAWYD (You Are What You Drink) Stem Top Cap is just the thing. Bolt the top cap to your bike and pop your favorite bottle cap right onto the top cap. An occasional glance down at your stem cap will have you up the climb like you're wearing a motor.
The Niner YAWYD Top Cap comes in Black and is available for 1 1/8 inch steerer tubes only. It is compatible with twist-off or pry-off bottle caps.

This is a super simple item but really fun for adding whatever bottle cap you want to your bike. Show your love for your favorite beer or beverage of choice.
It is nice on a long climb to look down and have a reminder of what you are pushing for.
Another view because you want it.
Just look at it. You know you want one.
Yep. That's some real motivation.
If you don't bring up my cool bottle cap, I'll make sure to mention it to you.
Is that an IPA?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The Niner YAWYD Top Cap is such a cool way to add a little bit of character to your ride. Why settle for a boring top cap when you can have a rad bottle cap? What I really like about the YAWYD top cap is that you can change out the cap whenever you stumble across a cooler cap or you start supporting your local brewery. The choice is yours.
Super simple design, solid construction, and as it says, it works with both twist-off and pry-off caps. The cap does look a little strange without a bottle cap on there, so you better be quick to get one on there.
Stay Thirsty.
Y.A.W.Y.D. Installation
I picked up one of these at a recent Niner demo. Easy to install and make a great conversation piece.
Put your Favorite Beer Bottle Cap on it!
I put my favorite beer cap-Samual Smiths and it's so rad. Keeps me working hard for my reward at the end of a ride.

With all the dizzying array of denim styles out there, it's always nice to find a denim brand that goes further to bring you expert tailoring and advanced textile technology. Marc Allison Jeans, (formerly Marc Alan Jeans) a semi-newbie to the premium denim mix, has decidely produced fashion's It-Jeans with a refined flair. Take their skinny jeans, for instance. I'm serious. Take them, and try them on! They feel velvety soft and stretchy. No pinching on your hip bones and the skinny jeans I tried on conforms to the length of my legs without choking them.
I tried on the Michi Skinny in Medium Blue Indigo with abrasion (it's still pretty dark), which are super low-rise, so ladies with a booty will look great in these. If you have less junk in the trunk, they may ride down a bit if you squat, but the waistband doesn't pucker out. Don't be scared off by the 32″ inseam if you normally go shorter, because they crinkle up a bit. The cut of the jean also doesn't choke the ankles, so, even though they are skinny, legging-like jeans, they have a made-for-you look.
So, I had to find out what was the real story behind these super comfy jeans, and Marc Flashberg, President of Marc Allison Jeans, was nice enough to fill me in.
What inspires you?
My love of denim. I've been selling denim since the inception of the premium denim market and it became a major part of my life. Over the years, I've moved from selling denim to creating denim fabrics, and now actually designing my own line.
We have something different, something you can't get any where else in the denim market. It is so inspiring to hear comments on the feel of the jean, the comfort and movability, [and] the recovery in the jean that it motivates me to continue our journey.
What bugs you about some "premium" denim jeans currently out?
It really bothers me that a woman can put on a beautiful fitting pair of jeans in the morning and then half way through the day, the fit is gone. The jean doesn't come anywhere close to looking as good at the end of the day as they do when they are put on at the start of their day. The major reason for this is the fabric.
Unlike other premium denim, the entire Marc Allison jeans line is designed with a completely new fabric that no other brand is offering ??" a four-way X-FIT stretch denim infused with Supima cotton, that makes for a stunningly flattering fit, extraordinary movement and comfort, with great recovery so it won't stretch out.
Are there plans for a men's denim line? If so, when?
We'd love to start working on a men's denim line; however, we are focusing all our efforts on the woman's wear market. We do believe we will be able to start designing a men's line within the next 2 years.
Marc Allison Jeans can currently be found at select Theory stores, and other upscale boutiques in the coming months.
— Kathy Ng Hassan

At last my search is over.
"I have been looking for a gladiator style sandal for over ten years that does not have a 4 heel, completely flat and (most importantly) would fit my fat little foot. After reading the reviews I ordered a 6 instead of a 7 and they fit perfect. I received at least 10 complements on them the first time I wore them. I had a feeling they would be great so I ordered brown and black and could not be happier."

Skip to comments.House votes to push debt limit deadline to mid-May
Posted on 01/23/2013 11:35:19 AM PST by John W
The House of Representatives authorized a suspension of the nations debt limit through mid-May, delaying a default on the governments obligations that would have taken effect in February.
The GOP-controlled House voted 285 to 144 to comfortably pass a three-month extension in the governments borrowing authority just as Senate Democratic leaders suggested they would take up and pass the legislation as soon as they could.
The vote early Wednesday afternoon by the House would forestall a default on the national debt. The Treasury Department had warned that the government would exhaust its authority to borrow to finance its existing obligations by the middle of February.
(Excerpt) Read more at firstread.nbcnews.com ...
GOPe caves again
shocking? Nope.
Excellent! Now with that out of the way the GOP can really focus on spending cuts. Let the battle begin!
LMAO The battle is no battle , the GOP is nothing.
Chicken hearted group of losers.
last straw for me.
What a waste these folks are.
If they really wanted to solve this they would've required a budget first, before voting on the debt ceiling.
This will go nowhere when budget resolutions are provided, but not passed.
Total crock it is!
Of course.
lol. They were going to demand spending cuts in exchange for this too, remember? The Dems just don't answer those phone calls and the GOPe negotiates themselves down to capitulation on their own.
I'm sorry ABC but No DEFAULT would take place. Default implies that principle and interest on out debt will not be paid.
"go away or I will taunt you a second time!"
Oh noes! no paycheck, I'll have to live of the interest of my millions!
Obama is gonna keep rolling them all the way to a Dem Majority in 2014.
From now on we shouldn't call them RINOs anymore. They like the French in WW II before them are willing to do anything to hold onto a little power regardless of the cost to the rest of us. They are now the Vichy Republicans.
Please tell me that spending cuts were included with this. Surely the Republicans aren't stupid enough to give Obama what he wants with no strings attached. Are they?
" CAN KICKERS EL SUPREMEO' Not to decide is to decide.
Do we the people have representation in the House? Our only hope, the GOP, can't seem to stop or even slow the monster growing in DC.
It seems like I must say to the GOP, that I'm not fooled by foolery:
Every single thing DC does requires you to be a part of it. I know that all you have to do is vote for what should be passed and vote against what should not be passed.
You could have and can simply defund the _health_care_act_ and you should not be refunding USG with more debt at all.
USG, an ex-republic, has become an unconstitutional democracy and is clearly:
a government gone wild.
After 3 years they finally got the Senate (Reid) to commit to offering a budget.
That's an insult to pu$$ys everywhere!
Even cats have more nads that the Boner Losers Club.
And then Barry came along and promised no new taxes OF ANY KIND to anyone making over $250,000 a year....
and then proceeded to pass ObamaCare...a gigantic TAX...especially on the middle class.
Funny how those double-standards work, eh?
Except that I get less of my paycheck, what did the 'fiscal cliff' thing do? Hey House, that's some good leverage you got there.
The last straw for me was the Romney nomination(by the MSM and the Dhimmicrat Party). And the subsequent loss in November.
Time for a new party.
You cannot even say they caved this time...
The GOPe are like a donkey at the Kentucky Derby that has backed into the starting gate.... they did not even start in the right direction.
"If they really wanted to solve this they wouldve required a budget first, before voting on the debt ceiling."
Exactly! They just handed over any upper hand they may have had.
Does anyone have a link as to how they voted?
"Now with that out of the way the GOP can really focus on spending cuts. Let the battle begin!"
If yes, then the REPUBLICANS just declared that Obama has the complete power of the purse for 3 entire months. A huge violation of the principles of the Separation of Powers, and probably an unconstitutional delegation of a power to the executive branch.
Are there any restrictions on Executive power here at all? What is going to stop the Obama Administration from borrowing as much money over the next three months so that he never needs to ask Congress for money ever again?
Most folks are a bit displeased here, but 4 months is only four months, geez!? Incremental means of forcing the Senate and President in taking responsibility is definitely fine by my account.
It's highly symbolic for the Senate not to get paid and would win HUGE political points if they didn't attempt to reconcile with the house. Am I getting something wrong? Inform me, please.
"The bill, which Republican leaders unveiled last week, would suspend the debt limit through May 18 and require both the House and the Senate to produce and pass a budget resolution in the meanwhile, with a deadline of April 15. If either chamber fails to pass a budget, its pay would be put into escrow No Budget, No Pay goes the newly-minted Republican slogan to describe this strategy."
This is actually, finally, a SMART thing that the GOP is doing.
They are picking a fight with Harry Reid, and this needs to be done.
They are forcing the Senate to pass a budget.
"Our only hope, the GOP, cant seem to stop or even slow the monster growing in DC."
I suggest re-examining your premises. The Vichy gop has no interest in stopping or slowing anything. They profit from the current "arrangement" and we're fools if we think they'll do anything that endangers that.
This is a one party system, and the Vichy gop wing of that one party has it's part to play in keeping conservatives relatively quiet and complacent.
"Are there any restrictions on Executive power here at all? What is going to stop the Obama Administration from borrowing as much money over the next three months so that he never needs to ask Congress for money ever again?"
You've already answered your own questions.
The gop. Our Conservative Friends.
What can be accomplished by creating another party that cannot be accomplished by taking over the GOP?
"Time for a new party. "
I think it's time to go galt. The majority of Americans now believe in the free lunch.
Wrong. Put the pom-poms down.
Yet again, reading the bill, they kick the can and will fund up to when the can stops rolling.
They could have easily been on all radio/shows, that would have them, and re-iterated, per LAW, all debts are paid first...there is NO default.
No, the GOPe caved (and water is still wet).
That's what I got out of it after reading 3 articles from various conservative publications.
They didn't raise it to 17.8 trillion. They didn't put a limit on it at ALL. Just what Obama demanded, that he have control of the debt limit.
Hope I'm wrong, REALLY hope so. But I don't think I am.
House votes to Allow Obama to Enslave our Children in DEBT, unobstructed until May.

Flames Claim Joey MacDonald
Kent Wilson
February 11 2013 10:47AM
Word on the twitter is the Flames have claimed Detroit Red Wings backup Joey MacDonald off of waivers. The 33-year old has bounced around the majors and minors over this career, most recently with Leafs and Red Wings. With 100 games of NHL under his belt, MacDonald is definitely older and more battle-tested than either Irving or Taylor. On the other hand, his career SV% of .903 in the show and only marginally better results in the AHL suggest he probably isn't much better than the rookies.
This suggests a couple of things:
1.) Kipper is out for longer than what the team is letting on.
2.) The guys in charge aren't terribly confident in either Irving or Taylor to carry the ball.
Point number two is fair, although I'm not sure how or why Joey MacDonald adds much comfort. Sure he's older and has more experience, but that additional information has told us he's really not all that good a goalie. The only thing I can really stick this decision to is the typical anxiety decision makers get in handing over meaningful minutes to untested commodities like the Flames current goaltending duo.
The addition of MacDonald also means the club is scraping up against the 50-contract ceiling (49). That's not a terribly big deal right now, but does cut down on the org's flexibility should other issues or opportunities pop up later.
Expect one of Taylor or Irving to get re-assigned to Abbotsford as early as today in response to this move.
February 11 2013, 11:10AM
This isn't really hard to decipher, imo. MacDonald wasn't on waivers when they signed Taylor, and Feaster had no intent to give up an asset to enter the backup market. In the meantime, Irving's let in some painfully soft goals. If their pro scouts believe MacDonald's an upgrade at backup over Irving, so be it. That option wasn't available last week, now it is.
Kiprusoff and Cammalleri both activated for Dallas on Wednesday night, Taylor and Irving go down to Abby to accommodate their returns, MacDonald becomes the backup. Unless I'm missing something here?
February 11 2013, 10:57AM
This move is puzzling to say the least..
Feaster has made some astute moves, some excellent drafting and some very questionable decisions, although I should caveat these questionable decisions are on a low risk, lower $$$ basis. This move today has me totally baffled and I'm gonna rant so I can go to the game tonight in a better mood.
Why would he do this just after signing Taylor, with talk Kipper would be ready by Weds? Macdonald doesnt scream "now we have a goalie to lighten the load for Kipper". Why wouldnt we put Taylor in tonight & see what we have in him? I sense a bit of panick here. Surely Feaster made some phone calls to teams when Kipper went down, in fact when it happened, he just had to walk down the hallway & Detroit would have gladly taken that Chicago 7th rounder for Joey.
It seems to me that this is what happens when you overpay aging star players who get clobbered in PVP and you are spending to cap max on a non playoff team. The depth in critical positions becomes pathetic. Obviously, Feaster & Hartley has probably promised King & Ownership a playoff run koolaid with this group. Obviously they realize that going with 2 young goalies with game experience you can count on both hands is not going to get it done. Even if Kipper is back, he could reinjure his MCL or it could take hime several games to get back to his highend games. In shortened season, that spells disaster. The right thing here would be play the young goalies until Kipper is fully recovered & either they rise to the occasion or we become a seller in March.
I'm not a goalie but is this the kind of injury you rush a goalie back from? This doesnt make sense unless there is a bit of panick because of pressure to make the playoffs. If Taylor doesnt get in a game while Kipper is down because of this, I'll be choked.
Sorry rant done.
February 11 2013, 12:38PM
Also, I still don't know what accounts we're talking about.
February 11 2013, 01:12PM
Maybe they want to instill more of the Red Wings' "winning pedigree" into the dressing room. Listen to the way Hartley gushes over Hudler. And if you dont believe in that kinda stuff, look how they boys hit the skids when all that losing pedigree came in from the Leafs. - Jus' sayin'
If they didn't have faith in Taylor or Irving - they should have gone out and signed a UFA goalie. There is no way MacDonald becoming available should have changed any sort of plans for Flames management, he's an aged back-up.
For this to make any sort of sense to me, Kipper's injury must be more severe than originally thought.
...otherwise it just looks like a GM with no actual plan, because again - giving Taylor a deal and then 2 days later claiming a goalie of no consequence is bizarre.
February 11 2013, 11:07AM
Yeah, this makes little sense to me. Even if Kip is out for the season, MacDonald doesn't sound like an upgrade on what they already have. Hope they know what they are doing, I imagine they do? Little cost, so low risk. Also, I guess injuries happen, if Irving or Taylor go down they would be scrambling again.
MacDonald is a reliable veteran and his stats haven't wobbled around that much, but he's bounced around the league a lot (with stops in Detroit, Boston, Long Island and Toronto).
His trade value in recent years was a 7th rounder, which makes me wonder how he's much of an upgrade over Irving, Karlsson, Taylor or any of the other back-up options.
Did Detroit just want rid of him and his spot on the reserve list or did they want him in the AHL? Just wondering if once Kipper is back we could trade one of MacDonald, Taylor, or Irving back to them.
This is really a reflection of poor asset management and assessment.
The Flames fans and ownership have either exalted Kiprusoff to the status of a infinitely durable god, or deemed him a easily replaceable average goalie.
The reality is he's a .925evsv% goalie (which places him the in top ten of active goalies since he arrived in Calgary) He's 36 and has played more games than any than any other goalie since the last lockout. I'm one of the biggest "believers" in what his stats demonstrate, but he will be/can be here and gone like any other star player.
However, the reluctance for those involved in Flames-land to acknowledge the massive gap between Kipper and cumulative body of work of all the other goalies who have backed him up (unless we pick individual small samples) has got us to this inevitable point.
We have no legit #2 goalie, we haven't given any prospective #2 sufficient playing time, and we haven't had a good contingency plan for years. Signing MacDonald is a reflex plan, lacking vision.
Kipper wasn't giving us reason to miss him with those first 5 games, but that may change quickly.
Acquiring a legit #2 (think what Schnieder is to Luongo, Bernier to Quick, Rask to Thomas) should have been dealt with long ago.
And that's all a damn shame, because I'll give credit where it's due, the current brass seem to have a promising thing going this year (we'll see) with the team and it's "system". It'd be a further shame if this year fell to pieces due to a shortened season and an injury. Unless of course your only hope is a high draft pick.
February 11 2013, 11:20AM
This smells like panic to me. Signing an older, more experienced, and not-better version of what you already have seems to be useless.
What is the point? Even if Kipper is out for the season, you don't even know for sure if either goalie you already have is better or worse than Joey. If only one of the current guys turns out to be even just as good as Joey, not to mention better, then all they've done is waste some $$ and 1 contract. If at some point in the future the Flames discover that both Irv and Tay are worse than Joey, the chances that Joey has become unavailable and that any other goalie of his ilk is unavailable is slim to none (and Slim just left town - bazinga!).
I'll wait to reserve judgement but this doesn't make much sense to me. Look at the teams that have jettisoned Macdonald in his career. Not exactly goaltending powerhouses, and they didn't view him as worthwhile.
Irving, through 4 periods has been good. Maybe 1 Columbus goal he'd like back. Other than that, those 4 periods have been better goaltending than Kip provided before he went down. Little surprised in the lack of faith shown after a Vancouver game that could have been 10-1 had he not stood on his head.
Doubt this has much to do with a trade, as all 3 of the marginal backups we now have have been available for nothing in the past month. Maybe Kippers knee isn't progressing as was thought it would. Still would have liked to see Irving and Taylor run with it. Find out what we have in these guys over Macdonald who has seen his share of NHL time with no meaningful change in numbers.
February 11 2013, 11:26AM
Maybe it's all in preparation for a Kipper trade later this season? Kipper to WSH, CHI?
Otherwise, yea, the only thing that makes sense to me is that Kip is out longer than expected.
I still hope to see Irving and Taylor get a chance to go with it.
February 11 2013, 11:31AM
Am I really the only person here who thinks of the 8 goals Irving's let in over 2 starts, the majority of them were pretty friggin' soft?
The only way this makes sense to me is if they've found a way to turn one of their other goaltenders into a non-contracted asset.
February 11 2013, 11:39AM
Kipper skated today and appears close to returning apparently, so the whole "KIPPER'S DONE FOR THE SEASON" panicking can stop. Dunno how this move makes sense in that light though.
February 11 2013, 11:41AM
Kent you might have to change the poll to include Macdonald ;-)
This is pretty perplexing to me..... I just hope this whole "we must win this year" thing doesn't get out of hand and picks go bye bye....
Little surprised in the lack of faith shown after a Vancouver game that could have been 10-1 had he not stood on his head.
There will never be a goalie stat for "it could've been 10-1" and once collective amnesia sets in... people will just look at his save percent. If it's not good (like in that game) he's a sieve.
There is an un-addressed statistical disconnect between what the team does in front, and what a goalie gets on the score sheet that doesn't exist for players. GlenX doesn't get a "should have scored 5", Iggy doesn't get a "skated 60% as hard as he should have"
February 11 2013, 11:48AM
@Kevin R
Not sure if you noticed, but Kipper has had about 6 or 7 games to "return to his high end game" and still has yet to do so. Flames can't wait for Kipper to "return to form" - it's like hoping Jarome Iginla will score 50 goals by standing in front of the net like he used to. Not happening.
February 11 2013, 11:54AM
Haha. This is comical. That is all I have to say on that.
February 11 2013, 11:56AM
Hopefully they waive Taylor. By all accounts he's been getting lit up terribly in practice and the players have little faith.
Irving hasn't looked horrible in the two games he has played in he is just not an NHL caliber goaltender. The goals that were scored on him were not weak goals necessarily but they were just decent NHL caliber shots.
Clearly Vancouver watched the game tape on him against Columbus, because they did the exact same thing by getting him to move laterally it causes him to lower his upper body and expose the top portion of the net.
February 11 2013, 12:09PM
It would be cool if we had some sort of deal to send kipper out to, I duno Washington? :-) it would at least give some sort of sense to this move.
February 11 2013, 12:10PM
I agree with this for the most part. I think he has let in a few softies, in both games. Having said that, I still think he was our best player on Saturday.
4 goalies under contract, 49 contracts, with 3 guys on IR. Somethings got to give.
February 11 2013, 12:11PM
Hopefully they waive Taylor. By all accounts he's been getting lit up terribly in practice and the players have little faith.
Just curious, but what accounts would those be?
@Kevin R
I'm not a goalie but is this the kind of injury you rush a goalie back from?
It depends. But I would say no. I don't think the organization will let Kipper play before it's safe to do so. But these injuries also can get in your head. I know from personal experience with a grade 2 MCL sprain.
The MCL is the ligament on the inside of your knee, and for a flexible, butterfly goalie... it takes a lot of stress. At 36 it can be a nagging injury. Thankfully Kiprusoff only had a grade 1 sprain (mild) and he's got resources, 10 fold what amateurs and recs like you and I don't.
Oh good. Yet another former Leaf to add to the team.
...though I suppose he's also a former Red Wing. We don't have a lot of those.
February 11 2013, 12:16PM
Poor Irving tonight. Probably going to start, with the knowledge that he's destined to be re-assigned the very next day.
Then he should play like he is going to give the management a reason to keep him.
Poor Irving tonight. Probably going to start, with the knowledge that he's destined to be re-assigned the very next day.
Yeah, imagine that. He gets a shutout and then gets sent down.
The thing that makes no sense is why sign Taylor then? The team could've grabbed any goalie akin to JM for nothing. In fact, that's what Taylor is. And Karlsson was.
Honestly my money is on Danny Taylor to start tonight!! Irving just does not have what it takes to be an NHL goaltender. Why do first round NHL draft picks get so much leeway in the eyes of NHL teams??? Taylor has a 0.930 Save% and a 1.77GAA in Abby this season and Irving has a 0.871 and a 3.72. Please start the better goalie.
February 11 2013, 12:19PM
Kipper's slow start and recent injury put an exclamation mark over the head of Jay Feaster. I can imagine the boardroom 'what-if' discussion about alternatives if Kipper wasn't good to go at some point in the future.
MacDonald isn't ideal. But I don't think the Flames have any confidence in Irving and at least MacDonald has shown he can be successful in the NHL. He is also UFA next season making room for Ramo.
Personally I don't see him as a big step up on Irving. But the Flames clearly don't have faith in Irving. They had him on waivers a couple of weeks ago and they allowed him to play third string in Abby before that. I can't blame them to much. Irving hasn't done much to make this decision difficult on the Flames. He has been 'meh' in the AHL and shaky in the NHL.
And if they aren't keeping Irving past this season what is the point in risking wins on a developing goalie? Might as well get a known asset.
You may be confused, particularly if you are talking about the first practice after they signed Taylor. That wasn't him, that was the camera man for flames tv that got lit up badly. They threw some pads on him since they had no backup that day. The flames definitely have no faith in him being their goalie. Could be why he's a camera man.
February 11 2013, 12:22PM
With regards to what @jeremywilhelm said, Taylor could indeed be getting lit up in practice, leaving MGMT worried that they only have 1 goalie right now.
Of course, if Kipper is going to be back on Wednesday, it still doesn't make sense.
Can't say I know much about him, so it will be interesting to hear Feaster explain the pickup. One year left (2012-2013) on a $550K contract, so not much risk, and I guess it didn't cost us anything...still a bit of a puzzle. Muat be a real short term need for some expereince at goal...
With regards to what @jeremywilhelm said, Taylor could indeed be getting lit up in practice, leaving MGMT worried that they only have 1 goalie right now.
Of course, if Kipper is going to be back on Wednesday, it still doesn't make sense.
Why are we assuming its Taylor that is getting lit up in practice... Considering Irving has got lit up in the two games he has played. If anything this move tells me Irving is done, Taylor is in.
February 11 2013, 12:33PM
I dunno about this move but the more I think about it the more I think it has more to do with Taylor than anything.
By all accounts Taylor has looked pretty bad in pracice, so the Flames wanted a reliable #3 to fall back on in case...
February 11 2013, 12:37PM
I'm not assuming he is, just saying that even if he is, the move still doesn't make sense to me.
February 11 2013, 12:39PM
@Matty Franchise Jr
I can't remember who exactly. Either the guys on the Fan or Roger Millions. Saw it on twitter on Friday.
February 11 2013, 12:41PM
I can't remember who exactly. Either the guys on the Fan or Roger Millions. Saw it on twitter on Friday.
Well, If Sportsnet guys (i.e. Flames mouthpieces) are saying a Flames player isn't good, he probably isn't.
So here is the Breakdown on Joey MacDonald.... He is a 6'0" Butterfly style goaltender... Haha. He literally is just a more experienced Irving. When will teams learn that 6'0" goaltenders will never make it in the modern NHL, outside of the odd reactionary freakshow Tim Thomas type.
This pickup is bazaar considering the Flames haven't even given Taylor a start, he has earned as much. But it's no surprise as the Flames have handled the goaltending situation horribly for years. Honestly if your backup never gets more than five games he is never going to produce.
February 11 2013, 12:46PM
Ok... so who's getting traded?
February 11 2013, 12:47PM
It sounds a bit crazy but I was hoping for kipper to be injured longer. He has become a crutch for this franchise, and unfortunately he isn't a very sturdy crutch any longer.
stein's saying taylor's looked fine.
I'm not a goalie but is this the kind of injury you rush a goalie back from?
It depends. But I would say no. I don't think the organization will let Kipper play before it's safe to do so. But these injuries also can get in your head. I know from personal experience with a grade 2 MCL sprain.
The MCL is the ligament on the inside of your knee, and for a flexible, butterfly goalie... it takes a lot of stress. At 36 it can be a nagging injury. Thankfully Kiprusoff only had a grade 1 sprain (mild) and he's got resources, 10 fold what amateurs and recs like you and I don't.
Thx man! I would think at 36 these ligaments can only be so durable when exposed to Kipper like mileage. Maybe he didnt feel great after the light skate this AM, maybe its something that wouldnt take much of a goal crease crash to reinjure. Now with Joey & Taylor have we become like the 21st oldest team in theleague now?
February 11 2013, 01:00PM
Irving's time here is done it seems. I hope we can get something for him.
Trade Karlsson, keep Irving, trade Karlsson, sign Taylor, sign Macdonald.

Skip to comments."Joe the Plumber fantasizes about havung a business", Joy Behar, The View
Posted on 10/16/2008 8:18:21 AM PDT by DallasBiff
I guess to Joy, Joe the Plumber, should fantasize about being a servant to Obama, to spread the wealth around, and not have the American dream of being your own boss.
Are you going to let him?
I know this is not very christian of me, but I hate this woman. She is everything that is wrong with America. BARF!
and just might be fatal.
it is resonating with people all over the country this morning.
Joy Behar fantasizes about having a brain.
Dirtboy the FReeper fantasizes about Joy Behar having to actually work an honest day's work for a living. What a complete idiot. She was born too late, she would have been a perfect talking head on TASS.
I think it goes something like this: Hate the sin, love the sinner.
I'm finding it more difficult by the day to do this. I share your frustration.
These people just do not get it. Do they?
Joe the Plumber fantasizes about having a $250K income, when he's more in the $100K. In the Bush economy Joe, the registered Republican, is lucky to have any kind of job let alone a business making $250K+ yearly.
So, Joy, only you are allowed to be successful (doing absolutely nothing of value to our society)??
Joe can't work hard and dream and plan on having his own business?
What has happened to America?
Governor Palin should get this man to stump with her.
I thought the View was a live show.
I am amazed Elizabeth has not been de-contracted since the rumours of her leaving last month.
Barbwa sure is patronizing Liz with gestures like her contract will end soon.
It would be great if the plumbing in her house went bad and no plumber would fix it because she talked smack about Joe the Plumber.
Joe may "fantasize" about a lot of things, but I can guanatee you Joy Blowhair is definitely NOT one of them.
That's the thing we like about America, Joy.
Lots of ordinary people get to make their dreams come true. Maybe having a plumbing business is a "fantasy" among your circle, but then again I'd call what you'd like to do to the Democrat presidential candidate a "fantasy" as well.
You know, she reminds a lot of Sea Biscuit?
Joe the Plumber fantasizes about having a $250K income, when he's more in the $100K. In the Bush economy Joe, the registered Republican, is lucky to have any kind of job let alone a business making $250K+ yearly.
Joy whatshername fantasizes about having a brain.
Just say "Joe" to Socialism.
Plumbers work with sewage.
Well, that's better than thinking about Joy all day, I guess.
She is such a brain doner!!
This little act won't help.
And promising him much higher taxes as a reward for growing his business is the better way to go, so his hard-earned wealth can be confiscated and given to people who aren't interested in working hard or taking the risks he's been willing to take?
The idea that Bush is the reason he's making less than $250k/year is just mind-numbingly stupid.
I hope Joe is armed. Wouldn't suprise me to see him get attacked in the next couple of weeks.
How dare he want to start his own business? Especially after embarrassing the "Spread the Wealth" Obama Messiah!
Next time Joy plugs up her toilet she may have to fantasize about getting a plumber
The working people of this country are becoming aware of how the left really despises them in between elections
"Joy, the Fat Blob fantasizes about having a figure".....
What is your name on Daily kos
What an ironic name as this woman brings absolutely no joy.
If she had to work a full day for actual honest money she'd be picked up for solicitation.
"Spread the Wealth" Obama Messiah! "
Joyce only knows how to spread her legs.
They get it fine.
This is a titanic struggle between traditional American values and the rise of a true socialist movement, and they are over extended. If Obama doesn't win this, the socialists will fall on their faces. If Obama does win, they will be in Charge, with a capital "C".
Thus, they will say or do anything to win, as they know this is their last chance to take over for a long, long time.
McCain/Palin 08!
MurryMom has fantasies.
In the Obama economy we'll all be "community organizers" and we'll get rich sitting around registering each other to vote over and over again.
In what economy is a good plumber not able to find work?
(sound of crickets chirping)
The point raised by Joe is, in whose economy does he get to keep more of what he earns?
It's just what they do. Instead of CREATING NEW WEALTH--
Hussein just wants to 'spread it around'.
Sickening---but it WILL buy lots and lots of votes.
McCain needs to put out "Joe the Plumber" ads which convey that Obama wants to take your money and use the government to "spread it around". And hard working people cannot afford that.
Ideally there would be a moment of a cow mooing with a picture of Obama next to it, and a caption that says:
"Obama sure is spreading something. You can't afford his plan to take your money and "spread it around". I'm John McCain and I approved this message".
The Hollywood nitwits now get to hate on Joe.
Having looked at your responses on other threads....why are you on Free Republic?
Turns out ole Joy (what a misnomer) is the worst of the worst in a tightly fought contest .. even Whoopi (I read here yesterday) kinda defended Sarah Palin.
But, Joe the Plumber has the left in total knots. They can't handle it ... this late in the game, after all they've done to assure an Obama victory, out of nowhere comes Joe the Plumber and focuses the public's attention in plain English on the harm an Obama presidency can do with Obama himself stepping deep into it.
They just can't handle the truth.
Joe the Plumber is a dangerous man in the eyes of the Left. They need to neutralize him quickly, but the Conservative fire continues to spread. If you haven't seen the ABC Good Morning America, you must. Diane Sawyer handled it well, but she clearly was not expecting the interview she got:

The Matt Lures lineup of swimbaits have proven to be fish catchers in the real-life world of tournament fishing. These ultra-realistic looking baits are compact and cast well and when they swim through the water they look like a bluegill, a sunfish, or a crappie, and big bass are always hungry for this kind of a meal. Imagine slowly swimming one of these realistic looking soft plastic lures past a brushpile or over submerged grass, hungry bass will be all over it!
Bed fishermen have really put the Matt Lure baits to good use as well. We all know bass hate pesky little fish around their spawning beds and the Matt Lure may be the best bed fish bait ever. When you drop the Matt Lure bait on the bottom, the buoyant tail makes the bait land with a nose down attitude, just like a bluegill feasting on bass eggs, something a bass can't stand.
The Mattlures 5 inch Blue Blegill bait comes with a big, black nickel hook on the back and an attachment point for a split ring and treble hook on the bottom.

Paul was first attracted to stand-up comedy at a very young age. He was only nine years old when he witnessed Eddie Murphey's "Raw". Although he couldn't understand all the jokes, and probably should not have been listening to explicit language, he became instantly intrigued by the idea of speaking into a microphone and making a crowd of people happy. Also, in the mid-eighties, his father took him to see Rodney Dangerfield live at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. By the end of the show, he was sleeping on his father's lap but the seed was planted.
Growing up, Paul was always making people laugh, something that he continues to do today. Paul makes waves and raises eyebrows every time he touches a microphone. In the year 2000 Paul entered a contest in upstate NY where he went to high school. It was called the "Hudson Valley's Funniest Man" for a popular radio station. The competition, which was comprised of over 20 contestants, lasted more than two months. Before he knew it, Paul had successfully passed first two rounds, joining the last seven comics in the finals. It came down to him and one other. In the end, Paul fell short. However, this inspired him. Not only has he gone on to win many other contests, but he also came to the realization that this is what he wants to do for the rest of his life. Since then he has opened numerous times for some of the best comedians in the business. Comics such as Dave Attell from Comedy Centrals "Insomniac" and Bill Burr from Comedy Centrals "Chappelle Show" and his one hour specials "Let It Go" are just a couple. Paul has also shared the stage with the likes of Tracey Morgan, Bob Saget, Christopher Titus and Louis CK.
Paul performs all over the country and many of the nation's top comedy clubs have called him one of the strongest up and comers working today. Recently, Paul was a semi-finalist for NY's Funniest Comic Competition for the NY Comedy Festival in NYC. He also opened for bill Burr at Carnegie Hall where he killed in front of a sold out crowd on the most legendary stage in the world which was also part of the NY Comedy Festival. Paul's stand-up can be heard on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio daily. His credits include TV appearance's on FOX'S "REDEYE", Spike TV'S "GameTrailers TV with Geoff Kneighly" and writing for the 2011 ESPN Espy Awards. Paul never fails in keeping the laughs coming and making the audience feel comfortable with his hard hitting personal approach. He is fun to watch and has a great stage presence.
Giulio Gallarotti is quickly becoming one of New York Citys fastest rising stand-up comedians. Gallarotti recently won Backstages Young Guns of Comedy competition at the Stand-Up 360 Comedy Festival. He has made appearances on MTV and multiple commercial campaigns including Sony, Axe and the Food network. Giulio has been featured on Comedy Time TV, Kill it in a Minute, Live-Laughs.com presents the 99 Cent Store and Rooftop Comedy. Currently Giulio resides in New York City.

So we finally figured out how Sasuke will awaken a Rinnegan or The Eldest Son's Eyes. Wonder what Gaara is up to. Sasuke's Death... maybe before he dies he'll awaken the eyes for Naruto and bam.
I can't possibly see how Sasuke will awaken the rinnegan from just Hashirama chakra. Or did he give him something else?
Also, if Naruto is supposed to end in 2014, I don't see any reason Sasuke and Naruto should have a fight.
I mean, it's been foreshadowed for a long time. But that's what others call fate. Naruto is about making your own fate. And there are really no hard feelings between Naruto and Sasuke right now. Also, IF they do fight, I don't want THAT to be the last battle.. It's looking like it'll be Sasuke and Naruto vs Madara for this last battle. Sasuke will probably awaken the rinnegan somehow, and together, they'll be the so6p.
I know people will disagree with me, but I think kishi is making Madara waaaaaay too powerful without explanation. It's inconceivable to think that he still has a very high chakra supply after sealing all nine bonus simultaneously at once. I mean, now that he is mortal he should have a limited chakra supply right? Also where did Naruto's ability to tug chakra back to him go? Like when he first tried to control kurama? How can one human win a tug of war with all nine bijuu all by himself?
I just don't buy it. Plus, I'm not sure where the series is heading Right now in terms of an ending?
So let me get this right..... is bee dead also? Or did he escape again and the 8 tails made it look like they were captured again?
This was a great chapter but once again it raises some very major questions. To have Madara take out Naruto, Tobirama and Sasuke all in one chapter solidifies just how powerful he has become and he still doesn't even have both Rinnegan eyes. Madara is dropping Kage levels by the minute, even without the tailed beasts, its hard to see how anyone could stop him if he were to become the bijuu host.
I am a bit confused about what Madara had to say about nurturing a new eye but not knowing if it will stick with him. Was he talking about evolving his own Rinnegan even further or was he talking about Sasuke's eye? A number of the things Madara said during this chapter seemed very cryptic. What he said about Hashirama and Tobirama not being able to bring out their true strength and also about giving Sasuke time to do something. By the way he speaks it seems like he was hoping that Sasuke would do something. Perhaps he intends for Sasuke to evolve his eyes further?
Another thing that left me confused is what happened to Killerbee? We saw Naruto get caught by Gaara but Bee is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps his body was in the tentacle that got cut off, but even if that is the case, I don't see how he could survive the extraction, Naruto looks like he is in bad shape even with his Uzumaki blood.
I am wondering what Madara intends to do with Sasuke. I highly doubt that he will just kill him, at least not before taking his eyes. If he really wanted Sasuke dead he could have done it earlier. The way Madara has dealt with Sasuke seems strange, I have a feeling he has plans to use Sasuke somehow. Regardless, I am surprised that Orochimaru hasn't done anything yet, I would think that he would guard Sasuke more carefully considering Sasuke seems to be instrumental to his plans.
Lots of interesting things are happening but I really hope we start getting some major answers.
Cool chapter so Hashirama gave Sasuke a special power..I bet he also has Hashirama's healing ability.
- I think Gaara is going to take Naruto to Minato to transfer the Kyuubi in him to Naruto.
- the 2nd was awesome but i guess it was too much to expect him to win solo.
- omfg where the hell is the 3rd is he going to do nothing this entire war.
- Madara claimed to be nurturing a new eye...is that Sasuke?
- Why didn't Sasuke just use Susanoo....unless it just a wood clone.(Hashirama powah!)
Madara has:
- Enhanced Hashirama cells in Hashirama face which gives him access to all Mokutan jutsu
- Sage mode boosts his already incredible powers higher and raises his sensor ability
- Rinnengan nuff said
Even in the past Madara had large chakra levels as he was able to battle Hashirama for almost an entire day when their 2 clans were at war. Madara chakra levels have been enhanced with Hashirama face plus sage mode power up so of course his Rinnegan is also powered up by Sage mode.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
I'm glad you guys are starting to realize just how strong Madara is right now, and that a slightly improved sharingan will do virtually nothing to stop Madara's advances. He hasn't even gotten started yet. But like I predicted, Sasuke now has the key to greater power: So lets see what becomes of that. (Also given the legendary shinobi Madara and Hashirama were, I believe his current power level is believable. He's essentially both of them combined with a rinnegan, and nine bijuu, just like the sage himself.) If you can't accept that, Kishimoto humorously stated that he made Madara too strong and that he's having trouble finding a way to bring him down, late last year at Naruto Jump Fiesta 2014
This is the part where Naruto is taken away form the battlefield to recover, and then comes back battle ready. Sasuke may be on the verge of death, and that may trigger something very interesting. I am also curious about Madara's words in this chapter. In regards to the eye he's nurturing, did he mean the eye the Juubi's final form has? Or can you implant another eye on top of the ones he has?
In the previous forum, I thought of several questions to keep the forum alive for the extended wait, but because things finally got moving, there was no need to ask them all. But I will ask one now.
It has to deal with the implementation of a sharingan eye, on top of a another sharingan eye. Essentially, somehow they take an entire eyeball, and fuse it into another eyeball. If they can do that, why stop at just 2 eyes? What's to stop them from adding more on top of the ones they have? If I remember correctly, he had an entire sharingan library, that is currently just sitting there. I can't fathom that Sasuke's eyes would ever be stolen ( I mean, he'd be set back all the way to the beginning of part 2. That's how big a crutch his sharingan is. But it would make him severely weak like Naruto is.). However, Sasuke was of vital importance to Obito. And yet even now, we don't really know why he was such a crucial part of his plan. Which was basically Madara's plan.
What if in fact, he was not so important to Obito, but to Madara himself? The only hole I see in that was his complete disinterest in Sasuke until very recently.
But anyway, great chapter, and I predicted a lot of what happened, as did several others.
PS: When he's reciting Hashiramas words...That tiny pause on the last page before he says, "Or even my child"...It's incredibly silly, and I do mean incredibly, but I wonder if it means anything...

Tobirama got smashed like a bitch, pinned down just like Harishma. Harishma obviously passed on a jutsu capable of cockblocking Madara, which is why Sasuke allowed himself to get within close range as it probably requires such. He knew he'd get skewered and obviously expected it.
The thing to draw from this is that Madara is the ultimate G. There is no villain to follow this man. Pure ruthless aggression in pursuit of his goals and he brooks no nonsense and shows no mercy. I love it.
I want to know what NEW eye he's cooking up. So many possibilities.
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
Well that is Sasukes Rinnegan sorted. Uchiha, EMS, Harshirama's Chakra and closeness to death = Rinnegan. I guess Madara will get his further power ups while Sasuke awakens it and Naruto gets his powerup. So just when it seems Madara will succeed the boys will arrive and bring the pain.

Topic: Referencing javascript in a form
This seems like a simple, basic question but I can't find a reference that helps.I just want to load a custom javascript file with a form.I don't want every page to load the javascript, so I tried to load it with a javascript_include_tag in the form itself, which I didn't expect to work since it is called for in the html <head> section, and indeed I got a parse error.So I tried to load it in the <head> area of application.html.erb, as in:<head>....<%= javascript_include_tag "tc_cards.js" # => <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/tc_cards.js"></script> %>
However, this resulted in a parsing error with messages like:
unknown regex options...
unmatched )
Any idea how to load javascript into a specific form only, or do I need to insert the script directly into _form.html.erb?
Thanks in advance for any help. -Fred

Antitrust Law and Competition for Distribution
Joshua D. Wright
George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty
Yale Journal on Regulation, Vol. 23, No. 2, Summer 2006, pp. 169-208
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 05-28
An unsettled area of antitrust law is the regulation of the competitive process for product distribution and promotion. Competition for distribution involves vertical contracting with respect to product placement, promotional activity, or the decision to carry a particular product. This process includes controversial practices recently subject to intense scrutiny such as slotting allowances, loyalty discounts, bundled rebates, category management and exclusive dealing. Antitrust law has designed rules for each of these practices independently, ignoring the economic relationships between these business practices. This paper examines those relationships by focusing on the economics of competition for distribution. Viewing these practices as part of the competitive process for distribution exposes an antitrust policy that systematically mishandles the regulation of these contracts. The article concludes by arguing in favor of per se legality for distribution contracts foreclosing less than 40% of the market and agreements less than one year in duration.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 40

Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art
Current exhibition
Flora Japonica - 17 September 2016 to 5 March 2017.
The history of botanical art
The earliest surviving illustrated botanical work is the Codex vindobonensis. It is a copy of Dioscorides' de Materia Medica, and was made in the year 512 for Juliana Anicia, daughter of the former Western Roman Emperor Olybrius.
The emergence of botanical illustration as a genre of art, however, dates back to the 15th century, when herbals (books describing the culinary and medicinal uses of plants) were printed containing illustrations of flowers. As printing techniques advanced, and new plants came to Europe from Ottoman Turkey in the 16th century, wealthy individuals and botanic gardens commissioned artists to record the beauty of these exotics in 'Florilegia'. At Kew, Sir Joseph Banks employed Franz Bauer as 'Botanick Painter to His Majesty' and also sent artists on plant-collecting expeditions.
As well as being beautiful, botanical illustrations became important scientific records through which plants were named and classified. Franz Bauer had a particularly accurate eye for detail. An image of a pollen grain he drew in the 18th century, using only a basic microscope, was later proved by a scanning electron microscope to be entirely accurate. Other important botanical illustrators include Walter Hood Fitch, who completed 10,000 drawings while working as Kew's principal artist between 1837 and 1877. Kew still commissions around 100 botanical illustrations a year.
About the collection
Kew's archives contain 200,000 works of botanical art. These include pieces by 18th and 19th century masters, including Ehret, Redouté and the Bauer brothers, along with works by contemporary artists.
In 2008, Kew opened a new gallery to display these works alongside pieces from the collection of Dr Shirley Sherwood. Dr Sherwood's collection includes illustrations by contemporary artists living in 30 countries. Connected to the Marianne North Gallery, and with a carefully controlled interior climate, the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art is the first public gallery in the world dedicated to showing botanical art.
Dr Shirley Sherwood
Dr Shirley Sherwood travels extensively and has been collecting contemporary botanical illustrations since 1990. Her comprehensive collection from over 200 artists, living in 30 different countries, documents the emergence of a new wave of botanical paintings and the renaissance of their art form. She has written many books on botanical art.
Interested in plants and art since childhood, Dr Sherwood earned her undergraduate degree in botany from Oxford University, then her D. Phil. as part of the research team of Nobel Prize winner Sir James Black, whose group discovered Tagamet, one of the most successful drugs produced for the treatment for duodenal ulcers.
Dr Sherwood and her husband James Sherwood, her two sons and five grandchildren all supported the building of the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art which is the only purpose-designed gallery in the world which is dedicated solely to botanical art.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
It did not come easy winning two basketball games last week but that is exactly what the Emery High Lady Spartans did and with the win came the 2008-9 region 8 basketball title. In a battle right to the end, Emery outdid the Carbon Dinos for the second time this season as they won the game 40-37. On Thursday, after the Carbon battle, the Spartans hosted North Sanpete, fell behind early, but ended up winning comfortably by a score of 53-40.
