Skip to comments.Internet sales tax embraced by no-tax Republicans (in Senate)
Posted on 04/25/2013 5:55:21 AM PDT by sickoflibs
WASHINGTON (AP) You don't see this very often: a majority of Senate Republicans voting to make people who buy stuff on the Internet pay state and local sales taxes.
The Senate could vote as early as Thursday on a bill to empower states to require online retailers to collect state and local sales taxes for purchases made over the Internet. Under the bill, the sales taxes would be sent to the states where a shopper lives.
On Wednesday, the bill passed a test vote in the Senate, 74 to 23, with 27 Republicans voting in favor. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., vowed to pass the bill this week, before senators leave for a scheduled vacation.
"This is a matter of equity and fairness," said South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard, a Republican. "The same people who are selling the same products should be paying the same taxes."
Under current law, states can only require stores to collect sales taxes if the store has a physical presence in the state. As a result, many online sales are essentially tax-free, giving Internet retailers an advantage over brick-and-mortar stores.
It is part of GOP orthodoxy to oppose higher taxes, a central issue that divides Democrats and Republicans. That's why the bill faces an uncertain fate in the House, where some Republicans regard it as a tax increase.
But supporters of the bill insist it is not a tax increase. Instead, they say, the bill merely provides states with a mechanism to enforce current taxes.

Both houses of congress seem to be composed nearly 100% of Democrats. I don't think that's ever happened before.
Don't worry, Obama will veto. He PROMISED "not one dime" of anyone's taxes making less than $250,000 would go up.
And the Republicans are punks for doing this. Idiots.
Do you know how sick I am of the words "equity and fairness?"
Hey Gov Doofus. We're not your ATM!!
Cut it out!!!!!
Actually, businesses really support this bill. They are tired of losing sales to the Internet.
catalog sales never were considered a "threat" to brick and mortars or local sales taxes.
Congresscritters are slime.
However, they are only mid-level slime.
The real slime lives in (infests?) the White House.
Pure slime there.
My brother is a screaming liberal DNC hack. His Facebook page is like a DNC fax machine. I finally had to block him.
He opposes this bill because he makes all his money off Internet banner ads. The worm gets to turn.
Someone remind me why the Republicans have a lock on the House in 2014 and are poised to regain the Senate.
I'm still waiting for the gubmint to collect an import duty on million dollar software that is coded by East Asians in India and then smuggled via the internet wires into the United States without paying import duty on the manufactured product.
My job was off-shored because of billion dollar marxists like Bill Gates watering down the salary in my field.
(Actually, businesses really support this bill. They are tired of losing sales to the Internet.)
You are right. It's too bad that consumers don't ever seem to be represented by anybody in Congress.
Here's a thought rino, if you want everybody to pay the same, abolish sales taxes.
Oh, you say you can't do that because it would be interfering with the state's right to tax? Apply the same logic to making them tax.
They support amnesty and path to citizenship for illegals too to get the $$$ w new workers in the nearer term, and they don't care that longer term those same new voters will vote for Dems to crush them.
Their interests are not
Behind the rhetoric most republicans are not much different than democrats when it comes to big government, taxes and the Nanny State.
The real difference is how they go about it.
Democrats stare you in the face, tell you they are going to take more of your money, and then do it every chance they get.
Republicans stare you in the face, tell you they believe in lower taxes at the same time they are doing a reach-around to clean out your wallet.

Take that knife that has been thrust in his back and give it a twist, and then twist it again, the dumbass deserves it for voting for these people...

Call him an "Anti-Tax TeaBagger" over and over again in front of his friends on facebook, MAKE HIM THINK ABOUT IT TOO!
We live in the country..don't drive much..the Internet has been a real blessing for shopping. BUT..the shipping has gotten higher..now that they are going to tax too..might as well go to the city and buy.
Glad no one in this family is a shop hound.
Now I'd go for that. We have a small off-shore contingent and my first goal as a new manager was to move that back home. I get 2 home devs for the 4 offshore ones. Such crap.
How can a revenue producing bill originate in the Senate?
"This is a matter of equity and fairness,"
When was the last time that the word "fairness" appeared in a bill that didn't screw the citizens?
Oh, you are bad. Good bad.
You are right it is a temporary loop hole that was allowed to exist so that a new market model could get a toe hold and flourish. Two decades is enough.
Conservatives believe local government is best. Conservatives believe in federalism.
Having a local state tax that has faulty enforcement for a new market to emerge is one thing, but it does make states more dependent upon the federal money flow because part of the normal commerce that is occuring escapes taxes.
The state has less income from the commerce in the state and becomes more dependent or introduces NEW forms of taxes rather than what was approved.
We now have established national businesses that are killing the local retailers that employ local people. If the large internet monsters could exist off shore or in India to insure maximiziing profits they would.
I like local government that I can more easily control with my neighbors — I don't like Federal Government. I like local services such as fire, police, sewer treatment, property and contract rights courts. I don't like EPA, Department of Energy, and all the Federal bloat.
Why do we want to hamstring the local government and thereby create a void that the unlimited Federal Government can fill?
Taxes are "takings" I agree, but when the feds spend they aren't limited by what is voted on — they just spend more money by printing it.
This is of course an outright lie. Shipping charges add to the cost of on-line. Something that the tax suckers refuse to admit.
Here in Maryland and in CA there is only one party running things now and its Dems and the states GOP/RINO parties cant stop anything from passing there.
So NO surprise they both and VA just raised a bunch of regressive taxes including sales taxes. That is where the money is.
What IS more surprising is that Senate RINOs are now supporting THIS bill to enforce that collection for internet out of state purchases because businesses are telling them too with their $$$$. Most of those Senators are very rich $$$$ too, they will fight against their taxes going up but not this on us.
We are nothing to the (Senate) GOP. Between this and amnesty I am pretty close to writing them off completely, not that they care.
I hear about "fair trade" coffee and tea leaves but never about free trade marketplace for technical skills.
No, it is a way to keep the gov't growing. The govt has enough money. DO NOT HAVE INTERNET SALES TAX
He finally gets to change that!
This is a knife in the back of internet retailers - it will force them to handle sales taxes for at least 50 government entities, whereas a brick and mortar business only requires they handle a single set of sales taxes, for the community in which they are physically located.
We live in the country..dont drive much
My sister is in the same situation caring for my elderly father. Small towns don't have the many items that are on the internet and never will.
Suppressing the ability to buy & sell is a way to turn America into a third world country.
Every supply house and manufacturer that ships their products to end users outside their state or works outside their state has dealt with paying taxes to sales they make in those other states and has done so with normal accounting systems for generations.
A retail store with one location and over the counter sales is the exception rather than the rule.
In Ca, Amazon has been charging sales tax since last year. I'm still more likely to buy on Amazon because of superior selection and convenience, it just costs me more, so I buy less.
This bill puts small businesses at a huge disadvantage. Amazon will not have a problem with transferring taxes to 50 states, but a Mom & Pop will.
The real solution is to tax using the Georgist model. But then, governments would have to function on what they earn on their contribution to society. They wouldn't like that.
Nothing demonstrates stupidity more than someone believing that the GOP is conservative
States are already doing this on their own and it is causing a mess. I don't agree with it but I see the reason for it.
My major issue with this approach is that it forces internet retailers to deal with at least 50 different sets of sales taxes, depending on the location of the customer. If local taxes are included, the number of sets of taxes could become exponentially larger. At brick-and-mortar, they have to deal with one set of sales taxes - for their store's location.
Closing this "loophole" makes internet retailing prohibitively expensive, with time and effort for distinguishing the various sales tax requirements and transmission of the collected money an unpaid government service to be provided by the seller. It does not "level the playing field" - it tilts it drastically in the opposite direction.
Their salaries, benefits, and perks come from taxes they extort from citizens. Is it a surprise that most of them will vote for taxes.
Politics is like professional wrestling. The players pretend to be adversaries, but, really, they're just actors trying to make a buck.

And yet the retail store is the very example the pols use to explain why this must be done...
I cannot confirm or deny the supply house/manufacturer info you posted from my own experience. I was under the impression that the sales taxes enforced at that level would be those of the seller, not the buyer.
I've never worked at that end of the sales continuum.
One of our senators, Roberts, understands what a bad move this would be. Thanks for the 'NO' vote!
McCain I understand but Sessions and Shelby joined him and the Dem tax raisers.
What Congress *should* do is legislate that states may only charge sales taxes in the place where the transaction originates, which, in the case of Internet or catalog transactions, is where the store is located. So if a company is based in California, and California charges a 5% sales tax, everyone who orders from such company will be charged the 5% sales tax, irrespective of where they live. (And in the case of a brick-and-mortar store, everyone would get charged the sales tax, even if they asked for the product to be shipped to another state.) If this causes companies who sell a lot through the Internet or catalogs to relocate to states with no sales tax, then good for them. And if it results in states lowering their sales tax to be more competitive, then even better.
And before anyone objects to Congress legislating over state tax collections, what I'm proposing would be as basic a regulation of interstate commerce as you will ever find (it would be prohibiting states from laying taxes on companies located outside the state), and Article I, section 8, clause 3 of the Constitution ennumerates the regulation of commerce among the states among the express powers of Congress.
Local government (at least around here) is primarily a mechanism to funnel money from tax payers to real estate developers. If those tax payers don't go along, the local government threatens to withhold essential services like police and fire. Our town can find $250,000,000 to give to developers to build a sports arena, but can't do anything about homeless people sleeping and defecating on the streets.
Time to short FedEx and UPS.
Anyone who supports increasing my taxes, whether that person is businessman or an otherwise conservative Senator or Governor, is a filthy pig who should be forced to chug motor oil till he vomits up a lung.
Governor Daugaard can go straight to hell and he can take his store owners with him. Store owners want to hire illegals to work for cheap and to tax internet sales to drive down competition. Screw them.
From the article: "That's why the bill faces an uncertain fate in the House, where some Republicans regard it as a tax increase"
Regard it as. Hmm, I guess that depends on what the meaning of "increase" is. The author of that piece should be kicked in the gonads, if he has any.
I think you are missing the difference between raising taxes and collecting taxes.
I think that is the way it is now, they can do that now. But states dont want to do that because it hurts companies in their states vs others.
This bill allows them 'in effect' to raise taxes in other states, the businesses in other states. That is what they want.
Well now online retailers will have to bone up on the sales tax rates for every county in every state in the Union. If you have ever filled out a sales tax form just for your own state you will know what a nightmare it is.
Between the sales tax and the shipping charges the internet will be killed. Great!!!!!!!!!

Canada to compete at sitting world volleyball championships July 11-18 in Oklahoma City
CALGARY – Canada will field a men's and women's team at the sitting world volleyball championships for athletes with a disability set for July 11-18, Oklahoma City.
Both Canadian teams were granted berths to the tournament which is expected to attract more than 600 players from 20 countries. For Kerry MacDonald, Volleyball Canada's disabled national team coordinator, competing at the worlds represents a great opportunity for the Canadian program.
"This is definitely a huge step for us," said MacDonald. "We've never been to a world championship and in fact our international experience has been limited to the America's zone. So for us to get a chance to see the top teams from Europe and Asia will be very beneficial."
The Canadian women's team is comprised of Chantal Beauchesne of St-Isidore, Ont., Allison Lang of Edmonton and Leaha Hickman of Lashburn, Alta. The other team members are Jolan Brunner of Vermilion, Alta., Danielle Ellis and Jordan Funnel, both of White Rock, B.C., Karen McCoy of Lincoln, N.B., Amber Skyrpan of Wandering River, Alta., and Tanja Hodzic of Vancouver and Krista McDonald.
The men's team members are Chad Drummond, Austin Hinchey and Doug Learoyd, all of Edmonton, Jose Rebelo of St-Hubert, Que., Kevin Strybosch of London, Ont., Eric Dechaine of St. Lina, Alta., Wilfredo Morewilson of Toronto, Mikael Bartholdy of Calgary and Greg Stewart of Kamloops, B.C.
The Canadian teams will hold a training camp this weekend in Calgary and two more camps in June: they are June 11-13 in Edmonton and June 25-27 in Surrey, B.C.
The world championships are also a qualifying tournament for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. Canada will have another opportunity to qualify for the Games next year. Sitting volleyball became a Paralympic sport in 2004.

On last night's two-hour season premiere of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, things were incredibly interesting, especially for a premiere. The players have all been on the show before and they have definitely taken the competition to a new level.
[Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS ©2009 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.]
In the first tem minutes of the show, the injuries began. The first group to go head-to-head in the first Reward Challenge challenge, Stephenie dislocated her shoulder and had to have it put back into place by the medical team. OUCH! But she's still in it.
Then, in the same challenge, Rupert broke one of his toes in several places. They taped it up and he is still in it too. Yikes!
And Sandra unhooked Sugar's bra during the challenge to try to keep her from scoring, but she didn't seem upset about it at all and finished the challenge topless!
The Heroes won the first challenge and got the flint to make fire. But on the Villains team, Rob wasn't going to let that stop him. He used bamboo and somehow got enough friction to make a fire. Go, Rob!
At the Heroes camp, Tom spotted a rooster and three chickens and with help from the others, they captured them. They killed one for food and kept the others for eggs. They are off to a great start too!
Romance seemed to be possible between Jerri and Coach, so it will be interesting to see what develops there. Russell is up to his old tricks of trying to play everyone against everyone, but the seasoned players are onto him.
[Photo: Monty Brinton/CBS ©2009 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.]
At the Immunity Challenge, the Villains took the Immunity Idol. So the Heroes had to go to the first Tribal Counsel.
At the camp, there was a lot of discussion about who to vote out. Sugar wanted to get rid of Amanda, she felt she shouldn't get to the end for a third time. Colby wanted to get rid of Sugar, he thought she was annoying and not strong in the challenges. Tom wanted to get rid of Cirie, he thought she was the biggest threat. Amanda & Cirie thought Stephanie had too much game and should go.
At Tribal Counsel, it seemed like anyone could go home. But the tribe voted and it was Sugar who was eliminated. Too bad, she's a cool person.
This season is going to be interesting because all the players know about each other already, except for Russell. They are strategizing differently because they know more about each other. It should be a great season!
What do you think about this season of Survivor? Which team are you hoping does well? Let us know!

The Los Angeles Kings and Vancouver Canucks have both had their issues scoring goals of late and the two look to break out in a matchup on Monday night.
The Kings have gone 6-0-3 over their last nine games despite having been held to three goals or fewer in eight of 10 contests this month. Los Angeles has failed to score more than two goals six times in that span.
The Canucks, meanwhile, have lost six of their last seven and have scored just six non-shootout goals in the six setbacks.
Vancouver seemed to break out with a 6-2 win over Columbus on Friday, but fell back into a funk the following night in a 2-1 setback to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Ryan Kesler scored a power-play goal with 1:27 left to go in the first period, but the Canucks' offense went cold from there and the Blackhawks scored twice in a nine-second span during the third period to rally to victory.
Roberto Luongo turned aside 27 chances for Vancouver, which fell to 1-2-2 on its six-game homestand that ends tonight.
"I thought we did a lot of good things, but we beat ourselves tonight. We played a good game," said Canucks coach John Tortorella.
The Kings have dropped two straight in overtime and were shut out for the first time this season with Saturday's 1-0 overtime setback to the Colorado Avalanche. Los Angeles played without forwards Jeff Carter, Trevor Lewis and Matt Frattin, while goaltender Jonathan Quick remains out.
Ben Scrivens has been excellent in replacing Quick, going 4-0-2 with a 1.15 goals against average and .955 save percentage in six games since Quick's groin strain.
Scrivens made 32 saves in Saturday's loss and saw Colorado's overtime winner hit off teammate Jarret Stoll following a save.
"We played a good game. (We're) having trouble scoring right now," said Kings head coach Darryl Sutter. "We've got a lot of guys out of the lineup. ... It's hard. You're mixing. It's sort of like diversifying your portfolio."
The Kings didn't have much trouble scoring when they faced the Canucks for the first time this season on Nov. 9. Tyler Toffoli had two goals and an assist, while Mike Richards notched a goal and a pair of helpers in the 5-1 win.
Quick made 25 saves for Los Angeles, which snapped a two-game series losing streak with the home win. It has lost seven of its last nine in Vancouver.
Scrivens has never faced the Canucks, while Luongo made just 14 saves on 18 shots in the loss before getting pulled after 32 minutes of work.
Luongo fell to 14-10-4 with a 2.31 GA in 28 career meetings with the Kings.

Not another one of these threads. The past is the past. Let's see what Tannehill does with some weapons around him.
Miami Dolphins
Miami Heat
Miami Marlins
Miami Hurricanes
Florida Panthers
Flacco > Ryan.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
Saying no teams have star LT after the Ravens win is funny too me since their LT was drafted 7th overall and has made pro bowls as well. Best just to let the past go it is what it is. The team they played has a first round LT as well.
That's not to say that fledgling owner Ross didn't screw up by letting Harbaugh dupe him into using the Fins as extra leverage with the 49ers.. or look stoopid along the way doing so. He did. But by the same token, while I think he also screwed up by pursuing Coach Mediocre after he was kicked to the curb finally by Bud Adams in TN, his instincts proved to be right pursuing Harbaugh. Likewise, harkening back to a debate we had, Ross's instincts were right in stepping in to stop the Orton signing folly. He apparently knew what many of us here did and almost all the Broncos County board members did about "3 and out Orton." So Ross gets props for that (while Ireland and probably even more so Morono receive demerits).

Theme: The Land
Artist: Russell DRYSDALE
Birth/Death: 1912–1981
Title: The drover's wife
Credit Line: A gift to the people of Australia by Mr and Mrs Benno Schmidt of New York and Esperance, Western Australia through the American Friends of the Australian National Gallery 1987.
The monumental figure of The drover's wifewith her tiny head and huge feet, stands solidly on the left of the painting, balanced visually by the small, dark figure in the background.
The sky and land are united by colour and the mood is oppressive despite the vast space suggested. Where is she going? Is she returning? Russell Drysdale gives no answers. He presents instead an iconic image of female stoicism within a desolate Australian landscape.
Russell Drysdale was one of the first white artists to visit and paint the desert. He recognised the power of a flat and featureless plane to capture the uniqueness of the Australian landscape.

It's not easy for anyone to be the head of either the Republican or Democratic national committee when your party is out of power at all levels in Washington. For Michael Steele, it's always been a bumpy ride.
Steele was battling a buzz saw last week after some less than enthusiastic comments about the war in Afghanistan, a war that conservative Republicans are required to support.
The pressure continues to build for the National D-Day Memorial Foundation to remove the bust of Josef Stalin from the Memorial grounds.
Congressmen Bob Goodlatte and Tom Perriello weighed in on the issue last week as did the Bedford County Board of Supervisors. They all called for the bust to be removed.
School Board thanks
As we gather together in the midst of family BBQ's, parades and fireworks commemorating our nation's independence, we also remember and honor our founding fathers and their vision of a great and free nation. Nearly 170 years later, 35 boys from Bedford stormed the beaches of Normandy as part of the D-Day invasion with hundreds of thousands of allied forces. These brave men answered the call to service and many paid the last full measure of devotion so that we can enjoy the freedoms and liberties envisioned by our founding fathers.
I find it difficult to believe that the most important issue before Bedford County government right now could be the Stalin bust at the National D-Day Memorial, but apparently it is.
County supervisors gave veterans a highly publicized forum and then voted unanimously to pass a resolution telling the memorial's governing foundation that - as television news dramatically put it - "the Stalin bust must go!"
A couple of weeks ago, I urged people who don't think a bust of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin belongs at the National D-Day Memorial to be team players as far as the Memorial, itself, goes. It's really hard to do that when D-Day Memorial Foundation decision makers apparently won't let them do it.
Restoring the Mill
I have been a member of the Big Otter Mill Commission, who have been working for some time to get the Big Otter Mill back into working order, since the summer of 2007. The progress we have made since then has been simply amazing. The actual water wheel, which was 18 feet in diameter by 6 feet wide, and weighing roughly 8 tons, has been hoisted off its bearings, and disassembled. We have placed an order to get new buckets manufactured, which we should receive about two months hence.
It is far too easy for those in Washington to forget just how brutal this economy is for working families back home. Every weekend when I travel around the 5th district, I hear stories of the struggles of those who are looking for work or trying to make ends meet in these tough times. It has become increasingly clear to me that the elites in the United States Senate have completely lost touch with the struggles and challenges of the people they represent.
This week House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced that, in fact, the House Democrats will not produce a federal budget resolution for fiscal year 2011. This marks the first time since the passage of the Budget Act of 1974 that the House of Representatives has failed to pass an initial budget, setting the spending priorities for the following fiscal year. What does this mean for American taxpayers?
Everyone knew that whoever won the 2008 presidential campaign would have to face tough issues and many a difficult choice inheriting the mess left by George W. Bush.
Newsweek and NBC reporter Howard Fineman has written that President Barack Obama is "hunkered down" these days in the White House, under siege from the weight of the troubles he's facing.
For the second time in its history, plans for Explore Park to become a multi-million dollar family vacation destination spot have fallen by the wayside.
At the Park's inception, the plan was for a $350 million Lewis and Clark-themed park with hotels, a zoo, retail and other attractions. The park would eventually take a different route, before falling on hard times in 2007. That's when the living history portion of the park shut down because of a lack of funds.
Empower and honor our Constitution
As we honor and empower our wounded warriors, constituents owe it to them to honor and empower our wounded constitution.
We should never assume that all elected officials are vigilant in empowering and honoring our constitution.
As it is the duty of soldiers to serve and protect our freedom, so it should be the duty of constituents to purge elected officials straying from the constitution for their own personal empowerment.
As I travel around our communities, I constantly hear from small business owners that the banks just will not lend, particularly the big banks that got bailed out. Even in these tough times, we know that two out of every three new jobs is created by a small or medium-sized business, and we know that this job growth is being limited by a lack of capital lending.
Nearly two months ago an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. This explosion, which tragically took the lives of eleven hard working Americans, resulted in an environmental catastrophe like we have never seen before. The oil spill continues to have an enormous impact on the Gulf Coast region, its economy, and the environment.

Even while memories of last winter's heavy snows still linger, we face a long hot summer.
Given the state of our world today, a sense of humor is a necessary tool of survival. Summer seems to bring out the silly season in both politics and sports, the latter being something I enjoy as a diversion from more serious matters (probably another survival tool).
Helen Thomas' career ending rant a few weeks ago was interesting.
The geriatric liberal was at a Jewish Heritage Celebration at the White House, May 27, when she told a rabbi, on camera, that Jews should get out of Palestine and go "home" to Poland, Germany, America and elsewhere.
While Joseph Stalin might have played a part in the eventual Allied victory that was precipitated by the actions of June 6, 1944, having his bust at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford does more harm than good. Yes, Stalin was the leader of Russia, an ally to the invasion, but he was also much more — a murderer of millions as the Soviet dictator. His place in the history of World War II can be told at the Memorial without the bust. His bust at the Memorial muddies the message of why the Memorial exists.
Stalin not
honored by bust
As volunteer at the National D-Day Memorial, I would like to hopefully help clear up a misconception concerning the bust of Joseph Stalin which is still causing quite a flap locally and even abroad.
The bust, in no way honors Stalin.

Turning the Tide on Early Childhood Obesity
Here at USDA, we're on a mission to help all of our nation's children have the best possible chance at a healthy life. So, we're very encouraged by some recent news from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): the rate of obesity among low-income pre-school children appears to be declining for the first time in decades.
The declining rates show that our collective efforts are helping to gain ground on childhood obesity, particularly among some of the more vulnerable populations in our country. Low-income children are often at a disadvantage when it comes to getting the food they need to grow up healthy, which is why USDA's nutrition programs and resources are so vital. Read more »

I hope Luffy's looks dont change that much... Maybe his new vests will have (fake or real) fur surrounding his neck, down to his waist and around his arms (shoulders)... He will still year shorts
i think luffy will be more muscular teenager - young man, and maybe he will have longer or shorter hair
And Luffy needs to have some stubble!

Virgin Australia boosts Rockhampton services03/07/2012
Virgin Australia today announced an increase in flights to the Rockhampton community, adding almost 1,500 seats per week into the Rockhampton market.
Effective 25 June 2012, services between Rockhampton and Townsville increased from four to six flights per week. The new flights, operating on Mondays and Wednesdays, mean Virgin Australia now offers direct flights between these two important Queensland cities every day of the week, except Saturdays.
From 11 July 2012, the airline will also increase direct flights between Rockhampton and Sydney from four to six per week, delivering direct flights between Rockhampton and Sydney every day of the week, except Saturdays.
From 6 August 2012, the Rockhampton community will also enjoy the benefits of a revised daily flight schedule to Brisbane featuring a new early morning 6.30am departure – more than an hour earlier than the current first flight of the day.
The schedule change will also deliver an increase in direct services between Rockhampton and Brisbane from six to seven flights daily, Monday through Friday, and from five to six flights on Saturday.
"We are pleased to be introducing more choice and convenience as part of our commitment to supporting the highly important Queensland resources and tourism sectors," Virgin Australia Group Executive - Alliances, Network and Yield, Merren McArthur said.
"A consistent theme in feedback from our customers is that they like to be able to have the broadest possible selection of flights available - and early morning departures are always attractive to business travellers. The support of the community has allowed Virgin Australia to invest further in this growing region"
"From 6 August, the new 6.30am departure from Rockhampton (Monday through Saturday) will arrive in Brisbane at 8.00am and the last flight out of Brisbane to Rockhampton will be 7.45pm; providing plenty of time for same day business trips," Ms McArthur said.

Wild Country Eclipse Harness Review
wildcountry.co.uk | $74.95 |
There are 62 rock-climbing harnesses that cost $75 or less, and 60 that cost more. I'd like to report that you get what you pay for, but I'd be fibbing because I've worn $100 harnesses that left deep impressions in me, and not in a good way, while I have found happiness among $50 introverts.
Finding your favorite harness is as daunting as choosing a seashell on the beach, but price is one way to winnow down the lot. The new Eclipse, an offering from Wild Country is, at $74.95, right at the tipping point for being among the most and least expensive.
The Eclipse is fully padded and adjustable. It's what I'd peg as an all-arounder. I wore it for some 50 outings and hung in it for at least 200 hours, rigging, bolting, scrubbing, photographing, and I'm still climbing in it. I spent so much time in the Eclipse I know it better than I knew my wife before marrying her.
The Eclipse is comfortable with one exception that I'll note later. The padding is a nice density, thickness and width and it hasn't gone too soft, nor does it get too sweaty when you can't avoid the sun. The buckles aren't the easiest to pull, but neither do they fray the webbing. Adjustability is such that you could almost put two people in the thing and it would still fit. Although I feel like a bumbly when I wear a harness with adjustable leg loops, I have warmed up to them because their precise fit beats that of fixed-loops, the likes of which now feel to me as if I'm wearing large pants without a belt. After being tied to and untied from several hundred times, the "crotch" loop has not frayed, a point that indicates solid engineering and materials.
There are five racking loops and these are stiff enough to easily clip. When you add much gear to the right, forward loop, however, the weight pulls the padded belt down, exposing your love handles to the naked, structural webbing. Two elastic keeper loops are supposed to hold the padding in place, but it still wiggles loose. Wild Country is aware of this issue and modifying the design.
As with its price, the Eclipse's weight of 14 ounces is smack in the middle. It's not the lightest, it's not the heaviest, and to be frank, the difference of a few ounces is only noticeable on the scales—and wallet.
ABOUT THE RATING The more I used this harness the more I liked it. I wanted to give it four stars, but the issue of the padding pulling away from the belt, leaving the belt to dig into my side, reduced the grade by a star. Wild Country says they are aware of the problem and is resolving it. When that happens this will be a solid four-star harness, and one of the more comfortable models out there right now.
• Fully padded and adjustable.
• Durable.
• 14 ounces.
• Available in S, M, L.
• Solid, well built.
• Five gear loops, but forward right loop pulls down the padding.

So So
Well technically, Urahara was able to mortally wound Opie without even releasing his Zan, because their standard defense is simply that weak. I mean look at Uryu, each slash that comes at him and hits, basically draws out tons of his blood. The Blood techs are simply that effective, to the point that only Bankai Level Power can pierce through their Blood Defense and Kenpachi . Grimjow simply took down Opie when he lowered his guard, from this alone it's hard to say how strong he has become if any, especially seeing as the only reason why he would make a deal with Urahara, is because he wants to become stronger and there is no better one than the creator of Hogyoku, which made him this strong in the first place. Or Urahara promised him a dual with Ichigo :p.
^ because he's ALWAYS super worried about EVERYONE else but himself. So, now that Urahara has "excused" him from worrying about others he will now focus on himself and we should expect some convo with broken or perhaps a reforged Zangetsu. I wonder if there will be a personality change. I personally would be very disappointed if old man Zangetsu is gone. @Sirrexx (sp?)
While I'm not a fan of Ichigo, I presume those who are fans would be highly disappointed (including myself) IF he somehow becomes stronger via getting his sword reforged with said "special reiatsu" cause that just seems like cheating. I mean we haven't even experienced the max potential of fullbringer/shinigami Ichigo hybrid yet not to mention his new profound Quincy powers.
Side note / prediction...
(Urahara will have a finally long waited boss fight and will resemble a super sayain upon release of Bankai topped with uberl33tH4x reiatsu that he modded himself with scientific prowess, and will catastrophically SHAT! On the enemy.) *Enter Mayuri Rant* and *Shutara priceless FACE*

I think that "deal" was more along the lines of partnership similar to the Allied Shinobi contrivance in Naruto. Which make sense because of the Quicies are both their enemies atm and on top of that they are invading HM. Surely Grimm knows he can't defeat them alone and will need the aid of the shinigami. I'm sure once everything dies down, Hollows vs Shinigami will resume again.
But only One question ?? -_- ??

Oh, Kubo... Keep on trollin', you. I mean, Tsukishima was the only one who could have possibly survived his ordeal, but the other two were surely dead to rights. Now then, Grimmjow is finally, finally back on the scene after completely disappearing from existence during the Nnoitora/Kenpachi fight. Need to know his motivations now.
Hmmmmm now that I think about it, the Mod Battle Souls might not move the body itself, but are rather manipulating the souls of particles in the human body (like Chad with his skin but in a lesser fashion)... this sounds quite similar to Fullbring, which might mean that Kon might have achieved a Fullbring through this time skip :O. Perhaps Kubo was inspired by a filler episode where a cat used his spiritual energy to achieve a lion battle form ?
I'm not really surprised their souls are alive, thought I was rather expecting that their souls would have been send to HM, just as happened with Shiba Kaien who was fused with a hollow at the time of being killed with a Soul Cutter.
You can notice that Kubo only shows Tsukishima with his Fullbring weapon invoked, which might indeed mean that the Time-Guy and Ginjou no longer posses Fullbring powers (still they would maintain their reiatsu power level). This means that we might see how Ginjou's Zanpakutou looked before bing fused with Fullbring .
Oh right, forgot to mention that if someone still wonders about the SKR (Royal Palace), then you can probably think of it more like that Strawberry-Ver-Gameboy's Fullbringer Game Dimension, in which the captain fought Fullbringers. Basically it's a dimension within another dimension. That's why you can't see it even when you look into the sky and the only thing that can enter in and out, are the pillars. It wasn't mentioned how exactly the Royal Key would work, but seeing as you can use it from HR, then it probably summons the SKR (or rather the palace) to the Realm from which the key is used. Or it just opens a door that connect realms, just like the gate that shinigami use to travel between SS and HR.

Bleach has hit the dirt once again. Pointless pages and ink wasted on Urahara saying nothing. (Although I hope the he's with grimmjow).
Shiba needed to help them return. Who is this "uncle" person? Who knows, but based on bleach's track record, its someone related to Ichigo. So now Ginjo is back. SMH. Why bring back people that served the purpose. By this regard, we should expect a 'plot twist' when Gin, Tosen and Ulquiorra return. Yamaji aint dead. Aizen was/is a good guy, Ichigos mother is still alive, the soul king will require a mere child to save him, and more that likely Beanpole will become their friend.
I keep hoping for better, but I keep being disappointed. Sure people can tell me that I should walk away if I'm unhappy with the manga, and that would make sense, but after all the time I invested into Bleach I keep hoping for it to return to its glory days and I feel like I obligated to be satisfied by the story(as bold as that sounds, I can't help it).
Its not that I'm trying to hate on the story or anything, but for someone who has invested alot of time into the story, I can't help but feel that we deserve alittle more than whats being given to us.
And regarding tsukishima....he died period...... remember what ginjou said when a FB's user dies the abilities that a fullbringer(tsukishima inflicted to his victims) will go away....... well at the end of the FB arc when riruka mentioned tsukishima to inoue... inoue asks "who is tsukishima?".... meaning his fullbring ability was no more since he died riding in the sunset

One of our favorite collections to come out of Paris Men's Fashion Week this time around is that of Mugler. We're totally digging the overall 80s references: pastel shades, strong neon colors like bright highlighter green, tons of lurex and windbreaker details, and some killer stone washed denim looks to point out a few. With a title like Brothers of Arcadia, huge metallic jewelry resembling armor, and the overall futuristic tone of it all we're definitely getting a futuristic gladiator feel. With this marking the brands mere sophomore collection, needless to say we'll totally be keeping an eye out.

January 25 2013 12:09PM
They say there is always a witness to history and last night there was 16,000 and change in attendance and billions more watching on TV that saw history go down. It was one of those times that sort of jump kicks you right in the face with its magnitude and it takes awhile for what you saw to sink in.
The goal itself last night was mind shattering and will be dissected to death by those in the know about these things. But it was the context of the goal that really made it something of absolute legend. The game had been largely brutal until that point - one nill and rather dull. The refs were out to lunch awarding powerplays as though they were getting bonuses for the most obscure calls they could make.
"No one has called a visor instigator penalty in three years!" one ref was heard remarking at a TV time out.
"Betcha I can call one in the next 10 minutes" came the reply.
Then the Nuge goal gets called back. An absolutely embarassing call for all involved and we saw Rexall Place start to come unglued like we can rarely recall. Garbage was raining down, the glass was being shaken back and forth and the loudest chant of "BULLSHIT" we have ever heard rained down too.
It looked like another glum winter night in Edmonton until the youngest* newest** bestest*** Oiler decided to take matters into his own hands and bat that little round devil disk out of the air and right into the twine.
We have had the good fortune to see some incredible Oilers goals in our day. Pronger scoring off the draw with no time left on the clock. 1,246,429 heart stopping moments during the 06 Cup Run. Jordan Eberle scoring the goal that launched a million SQUEEEEEEEs to name just a few. But with all due respect to the other goals and our dear sweet Jordan, we have NEVER seen a celly like the Yakupov one last night.
There may be some people out there who are freaking out about the celebration but they can all go pound sand. We witnessed Rexall Place connect with an Oiler player on a level we haven't seen since a certain number 14 scored a certain toe draggian dandy on opening night against some forgettable team down Highway 2.
The emotion of the evening, the blown call, the lingering frustration with the lockout. It all melted away as 64 slid blue line to blue line with all of the OilersNation around the world sliding in spirit with him. And at the end of the game there he was on the ice celebrating the win - helicoptering his stick in salute to the fans unlike anything we have ever seen.
You could see the emotion on his face on he sat on the bench and the goal was announced. The combination of his 64 billion dollar grin and the crowd losing its collective mind was something to behold. Here is an honest to goodness superstar in the making on a team now counting a handful of similar super studs. Playing in a City that has wanted nothing more for almost 30 years.
The NHL has built the walls between the fans and the players so high that many fairweather fans have checked out. As a result many buildings in the league will find themselves half full with mildly bored players playing before mostly bored suit types until the emotion comes back - if it ever does.
Contrast that scenario with Yakupov scoring THAT goal in front of THAT crowd here in Edmonton.
A hero was born last night.
You may think we have been smitten by the new Russian Hearthrob and have forgotten who we came to the dance with. May we then present for your consideration this picture of Jordan Eberle with a puppy.
Could 2013 BE any better?
* We think
** Not counting trades
*** Except Eberle and the Nuge naturally
Big props to our dubstep lovin homie dabears on twitter for the Yak City lyrics pic.

DSF rubs his forehead in consternation... The world which seemed so right only a few short days ago has turned upside down.
The Wild haven't sky rocketed to the top, the Canucks are struggling and the Kings, oh the Kings...
All his many hours of carefully studying the statistics, painfully modeling every possible play, goal and game; the hours upon hours spent crafting the perfect NHL model.
Yet none of it was working....
Staring at Mr.Piddles he asks the question, is it worth it? How could I be so wrong!?!
Mr.Piddles replies with a lazy long look while letting out a soft purr in the hopes DSF would share a precious Cheeto or two; but deigns not to answer DSF's query.
Grumbling angrily, DSF lets his gaze rest on his trophy case; a beautiful monument to all he has achieved in life! Ranging from 7th place in the science fair to a participation ribbon for having once ran 100m.
Obviously I cannot be wrong! Someone who has achieved as many participation accolades as I have simply cannot be wrong!
The realization steals over his consciousness, he couldn't possibly be wrong; its just simply the world isn't right!
He almost jumps with glee, yelling upstairs to Mother he requests a late night snack! For if the world isn't right, there is only one thing to do! Show those that are currently happy with their team how wrong they will be once the world corrects itself; for this can only be temporary, he has the statistics and advanced mathematics to prove it!
Settling down in front of the internet he prepares himself, although his sacrifice may not be appreciated; he will carry on and save those poor fools from their own misplaced jubilation.
i still have yet to see a reference to a kyle wellwood cuddle pillow.
for that lack of detail, i can give this post no more than 4 squees out of 5...and a prop

Epic. This post should be displayed throughout the entire Nation chain of sites.
Old Soldier, we are forever in debt to your courageous service for this great country of ours.
To me, Yak looked like someone who wasn't ashamed to be photographed and forever remembered in an Oilers jersey. I think that's a good thing.
Also, Teemu Selanne had some crazy celebrations too, if you're telling me the Oilers just drafted the next Selanne, I'm ok with that. He turned out pretty well.

An ultra-light racing flat, the New Balance RC5000 is the number to know for top athletes who want a touch of cushion for track training and races up to 10K.
The RC5000 is a feather-light racing flat tipping the scales at just about 3 ounces in both Men's and Women's models. Testers found the shoe to deliver excellent performance in both track and road settings. The RC5000's super light feel gives it plenty of get up and go, and it provides enough cushioning for harder surfaces without adding a weight penalty.
The upper of the RC5000 has a "barely-there" feel, and even though it's on the narrower side, the materials are forgiving. Some testers did not like the thin laces, which can slip easily if they're not double-knotted. Testers did like the clean look and the quality of materials used. They sized down a half size since the shoe runs a bit long.
The RC5000 is an extraordinarily light and responsive shoe. It's a good choice for track workouts or road racing, particularly the 5k, and its form-fitting upper just helps you feel that much faster.
The RC5000 is a racing shoe I get excited about. It's snug yet supple with great traction, and it allows me to feel lightweight and aggressive on the road. Can't beat the sweet colors too.
The New Balance RC5000 is a great choice to get the lightweight feel of racing spikes with a little added leg protection during early season long distance races.
Super light and super fast. Don't expect to get many miles out of it though - this is strictly a race day shoe.

Tweezerman Ingrown Hair RemoverThe tweezers are poor at gripping small items such as hair. The points are not stable and do not always match. They flex side to side too much.

Comments: I logged just over 4000 miles in the boston 3 and developed large calluses on the medial ball of each foot, so the wider toe box of the boston 4 is much appreciated. I slipped the boston 4 on for this mornings 19 mile run. The forefoot feels more firm than the boston 3 and there is less forefoot sole flexibility, which adds stress on the calf muscles. Could this be from fewer striations across the sole? My foot was warm and sweating the whole run, which rarely occurred in the boston 3. I attribute this to a less breathable upper material. The material feels closed off, especially in the toe box. Once again, I have been disappointed with a new model year shoe. I am going to have to find another go-to shoe for everyday, high mile running
From: Anonymous
Comments: The 4 seems to be a tremendous upgrade from the 3. The fit is much better. I had to wear a 12 in the 3 and an 11 1/2 in the 4 is much more comfortable. The 4 has more forefoot cushion but seems more flexible. Both shoes have great response but I think the 4 is faster. I attribute it to the flexibility in the midsole and the upper as well as the slight weight reduction. Admittedly I was skeptical that Adidas had screwed up a great shoe like they did the Ace after the 2nd version. Wrong. Great trainer!!
From: Anonymous
Comments: very comfortable and light
From: Jackie, San Leandro, CA, USA
Comments: After 50 miles in the shoe I can say that I am really happy with them. I am a big fan of the Boston 3's which do feel different than the 4's, but not in a bad way. I like the tongue on the Boston 3's better, and my foot feels more secure in the 3's too. The 4's have a great ride. I've done tempos and a couple medium to long runs in them. The 4's do feel lighter and the upper is very breathable. The 4's are a bit softer than the 3's and you can tell there is a bit more cushion under the ball of your foot. The toe box is wider too. As a trainer, the 4's have been great so far (only a week of use). I will update this if things change. I could use these as a possible marathon shoe. Shoe feels lighter than the 9oz it is.
From: Andy, Houston, TX
Comments: Have to disagree with Andrew from Atlanta. The toe box on these is noticeably smaller than the Boston 3. I don't know if sizing up a half size will compensate, but I had to send this one back. And I like a snug upper.
From: Drew, Nashville, TN
Comments: Shoe feels about the same weight as the boston 3. Definitely feels more like a trainer than a racing flat, and slower than the 3. It is wider on the sole in the front and heel than the 3, which is probably why it feels slower. Toe box is slightly bigger than the 3's, it also feels slightly more cushioned than the previous model. Depending on what you want out of the shoe, the update is either great or bad.
From: Andrew, Atlanta, GA
Comments: These are incredibly similar to the F50 Runner 2 from what I can see. That's a compliment, even though the F50 marketing never took off in the U.S. Will give these a look in a few hundred miles.
From: Chris, Boston, MA, USA

Our Watercolor Print Plissé Gardenscape Bedspread Brightens Your Bedroom
Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 24 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tipi Just what I wanted will use for spring/summer time November 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Grammamo Very light and lovely I got tired of fighting with bedskirts, so decided to stick with a bedspread. They are not as easy to find as I thought. Everything today is comforter sets. I was thrilled to find this lovely, lightweight bedspread. It washes like a dream. I love the length as I use 4 pillows on the bed and it covers them totally. My 2 small dogs are allowed up there, and so far it's wearing well. I highly recommend it. July 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gal at the lake Love it! This bedspread fits my queen mattress perfectly. It is very light weight and fits loosely on the bed so it is not constricting. It is perfect for the warm summer nights. The colors are beautiful, too and it looks great on my bed at camp. July 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ditz Would have been perfect, but.... This bedspread would have been a perfect summer spread: light weight, easy care, a lovely floral pattern. But the pattern was too busy against my wallpaper; it just didn't look right. Sadly, I had to return it. June 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bunka Brought the "Outside In" Recently purchased and received (excellent turn-around time, as always) the Watercolor Plisse Gardendscape Bedspread. I LOVE it! It is the "summer spread" for the guest room, and is perfect. I particularly like the longer length both length and width-wise. The room is painted a medium to dark green, the spread brightens it up, and adds a summer flair to the room. This is the second summer spread I've purchased, and couldn't be more pleased with them both. The first one is now over five years old, and although, in New England, doesn't get a ton of wear, the colors have held up beautifully, they are still nice and bright. I am always loath to put it away come October when it starts getting cooler. Will continue to "look first" at the Vermont Country Store catalog for all relevant purchases. Lots of compliments from guests, they love the weight. June 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by good friend wonderful choice I purchased this bedspread because my old quilted one was too heavy to lift. It is lightweight and looks wonderful with my mahogany furniture. April 4, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by BJE Springtime I very much like the bedspread as it is so easy to lift and handle with my arthritic hands. I only wish I had purchased the full size instead of queen as I have so much left hanging on one side. I have read so many reviews of bedspreads in that the full size is too small for the bed so I opted to go with queen size. In this case, I am sure the full size is accurate. September 25, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by velvetpaw Gardenscape Bedspread Because I have three dogs who enjoy getting on my bed I have looked for a lightweight, attractive spread that looks nice and doesn't overload my washing machine. Needless to say, we wash bedding frequently! This is the first time I have found what I have been looking for and it perfectly fills the bill - pretty to look at, washable and durable.

When the housing market crashed, real estate agent Larry Thompson looked for a second job. He soon discovered a knack for selling knickknacks. And antiques. And collectibles.
Thompson is the manager of the Union Antique Mall at 200 S. Union Ave., which under new owners John and Leah Russell is enjoying a surge in popularity among shoppers and vendors.
Today, the mall is 100-percent leased out to "55 different little stores," as Thompson describes them. The merchants offer everything from antique metalwork and furniture to original artwork.
The vendors are responsible for setting the prices and keeping their spaces stocked but otherwise are mostly absent. Thompson and his small staff handle the day-to-day sales on their behalf.
The steady stream of shoppers who visit are as varied in their ages as their reasons for buying a particular item, Thompson said. "You hear quite a few stories. And it's always fun to hear them," he said.
Just last week, two women in their 20s visiting from Japan purchased $300 in vintage American clothing to take back home with them, he said.
Pyrex cookware from any era is among the steady sellers, he said. Collectibles such as Coca-Cola items or "anything with Pueblo or Colorado" also are popular, he said.
The Russells, owners of the nearby Experienced Interiors furniture consignment store at 107 S. Union Ave., took over the mall in July and asked Thompson to assist.
The trio worked to better organize the store and recruit more vendors while suggesting ways the vendors could boost their sales.
Another reason their efforts are succeeding is that, unlike some similar stores, the owners and Thompson are not vendors and do not compete with their tenants, Leah Russell said.
The mall's revenue comes solely from space rentals and a percentage of sales, so the owners' focus is helping all of the vendors boost sales by advising them on space design and pricing, she said.
"I think this model works," she said.
She and Thompson also credit the vendors with bringing new life to the mall, which first opened several years ago. "The vendors are active. They're here working in the store," Thompson said.
The mall offers attractive prices, he said. He pointed to one space that offers hand-printed motivational signs for as low as $7. Another store might charge double or more, he said.
Most of the vendors are from Pueblo County; several are from Denver, La Junta and Trinidad.
Ron Alfonso, owner of the The Nest collectibles and furniture store at 311 1/2 S. Union Ave., keeps a space in the mall. "It's a great concept," Alfonso said.
A software program in the cash register keeps each vendor's sales separate. The software program also allows vendors to track their sales online.
The store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. The phone number is 544-0928.

Great cowgirl boots
"I love these boots! I had been wanting some western style boots for the longest time, but most of them just weren't right. I'm not a fan of the really long, clunky looking toe some of them have, but the tip of this boot is more refined. I also like that it's less bulky around the calf, it just gives it a sexier look while still having that rugged edge. They're pretty comfortable, took a little effort to put on the first couple of times, but once they're on, there's plenty of space. Not too short or too narrow. I'd say they run pretty true to size and I love that they're real leather."

With the passage of Senate Concurrent Resolution 140 by both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the Idaho legislature, the Idaho state science standards adopted in 2015 have been definitively rejected.
A record was broken in a new poll from Gallup, which found that 65% of Americans believe that increases in the earth's temperature over the last century are due more to "the effects of pollution from human activities" than to "natural causes in the environment that are not due to human activities."
At its March 10, 2016, meeting, the Alabama state board of education voted to retain a disclaimer about evolution mandated for the state's textbooks, even though the new Alabama science standards describe evolution as "substantiated with much direct and indirect evidence."

Nah even amongst 'masters' there are probably sub levels like how junazad and Hongo were. Tanaka is probably like on the cusp of master level atm.

That's very sad indeed... Though it was quite weird how often these phonecalls happened.

I'm surprised the Elder was aware of this and didn't do anything to stop or try and help him besides saying that 'revenge won't get you anywhere'. Even he should know that under those circumstances there was no way he wasn't going to kill kensei. If something had happened to Miu..

Deafening Silence: Canucks Fail to Congratulate Bure on HHOF Selection
Thomas Drance
June 26 2012 03:31PM
This is how a professional organization congratulates a former great.
We've now known for nearly three hours that Pavel Bure - after being snubbed 6 previous times - was selected for induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Yet we've heard nothing, not a peep from Canucks.nhl.com, or the @VanCanucks Twitter feed, and fans in the digital space are outraged. (Update: The Canucks have issued a Press Release congratulating Pavel Bure, along with Mats Sundin. Here's the link. I stand by everything said in this article, this is a poor way to congratulate Bure, and I think the team whiffed big time on handling this appropriately.).
Read past the jump for the rest of the screed...
I'd say they're outraged with good reason: Pavel Bure is among the most beloved Canucks skaters of all time. Many of the fans who continue to be dedicated to and even obsessed with Vancouver's NHL team, grew up watching Bure back up defenders at the blue-line, then promptly cut in between them and score.
Perhaps the relationship between Pavel Bure and the team is more strained than we'd realized, but even so, this is a big moment in the history of the franchise, and for fans of the team. That the current regime couldn't be bothered to congratulate him on Twitter, or on the team's official site is pathetic. If it's an innocent mistake, and the wi-fi is down at Rogers Arena, it's pathetic because it's amateurish. If it's because there's a frosty relationship between the club and their former player: it's pathetic because it's petty and arrogant.
This isn't just seen as a slap in the face to Bure, either, this is personal. The team may belong to the Aquilini's, but the memories of watching Bure play: those belong to the fans and the city. Canucks fans generally want the team we still root for, who we see as connected to what Bure accomplished, to celebrate, or at least acknowledge, this honour.
It's the same reason Canucks fans got worked up every year when Bure was snubbed: it was like the NHL was refusing to admit or appreciate how exciting, brilliant and unique Bure was as a player. Canucks fans knew what they watched was special, and they wanted it stamped, sealed and officially sanctioned as such. Now the official modes of Canucks communication, usually alive with photos of cute kids at the draft, or video of Fin's latest antics, are the ones ignoring Bure's accomplishment?
It's crazy, this is a seminal moment in Canucks history, damnit! Is it too much to ask the team that fans pay good money to watch, and dedicate so much time to following - to show some respect? If you're not going to show Bure some respect that's one thing, it's stupid and petty but whatever - but at least respect the experiences of your fans, and the history of hockey in Vancouver...
June 26 2012, 03:39PM
Have the MSM in Vancouver started to notice this yet?
Don't let Justin Schultz catch wind of this, he may have been his favorite Canuck growing up.
Well Thom, not 5 minutes after you post this and there's a statement released congratulating Bure.
Between this and the Hodgson on deadline day thing, it's pretty clear there's a conspiracy here just to make you look bad.
You couldn't wait ten minutes? That's how long it took them to release their press release. This is the definition of hysterics.
Total non-story. The person who runs Nucks twitter could have been on a long lunch, a Meeting, or involved in a personal situation.

You couldn't wait ten minutes? That's how long it took them to release their press release. This is the definition of hysterics.
Total non-story. The person who runs Nucks twitter could have been on a long lunch, a Meeting, or involved in a personal situation.
If by "long lunch" you mean "out to lunch" then sure.
I'm with the other guys. Have we really reached the point where if our requirement for instant gratification isn't met immediately, we are annoyed? Not posting something on twitter that millisecond is not "whiffing it big time".
I find the website and twitter account is run very poorly compared to other organizations. They need some new blood in there. They're always late with news, I hear from others on twitter hours before they make an announcement. This is not the first time this has happened. Also, last season I sent numerous messages regarding the 3 new Canucks acquired at deadline, wanting their pics on the roster changed to one with a Canucks jersey. It never happened. Now I see that 2 of the 3 have been changed, unfortunately the 1 who's actually staying with the organization is still in a Sabres jersey. Stupid little things like this piss me off, because it's pure laziness or lack of caring that causes the issue.
Your material usually sounds thoughtful. This merely sounds peevish and pedantic. Would you like a rethink?
This article is exactly the type of thing that you always say that Canucks fans need to stop being so sensitive about. The Canucks Twitter, didn't tweet a single thing in the 3 hours after the Bure announcement, about HOF or otherwise. We aren't in Vancouver looking over their shoulder to know what they were up to. Yes, it doesn't take long to do a quick tweet, and maybe they were just waiting for Gillis, but to get up in arms about it is a total waste of energy. To call out the organization as pathetic for waiting a few hours seems like nit-picking, oversensitive, and petty. You were already looking at the situation like they waited too long, so of course the tweet is going to read as pathetic and insignificant.
The treatment of Bure is obviously a big issue for you, but for me, I didn't see anything wrong with their statement. So maybe keep in mind the next time you want to call out Canucks fans as being oversensitive. To you, the issue might not seem important, but to others, it could be a big insult.
I agree that they could've gotten to it a bit quicker but HarryZil makes a good point. As a fanbase, we get berated by the rest of the league (and by fellow Canuck fans) for taking everything too seriously. Then a moment comes along when we can prove that our emotions are in check and suddenly we're supposed to be outraged? They should change the teams name to the Vancouver PRNightmares, because the front office are having those every night.
Mike Gillis and Bure are actually friends from when he was his agent so I'm sure he personally contacted him to congratulate him which pales in comparison to have been congratulated via twitter by the panthers. That's not just Dale Tallon's twitter account but the official panthers account.... an honor indeed. Suck it Gillis.

Don't underestimate the desperation of the desperados.
Webber seeking his first win and first good start for what seems like years. Hamilton seeking to prove he is the ultimate street circuit driver after his mess at Monaco, plus seeking to get to his rightful place on the front row by the end of lap 1 to correct the Q3 fuelling error. Button wanting to finish the season as number 1 McLaren driver. Alonso expecting to fly past everyone at the start.
ps "youngest" is a misleading measure. It is only possible to win a WDC once a year, so I'd say Alonso, Hamilton and Vettel are equal at wining the WDC in the year of their 24 birthday. Of course that is all irrelevant, first you need your team to provide you with a good car.
Number of starts is important, but more importantly, he happens to have been on a young driver programme for the team with a dominant car.
